I received this product free for testing. I enjoyed this concealer - the shade I was given was a bit too light for me which is always a risk when selecting shades online but I was able to test the texture and efficacy of the product. This is a nice full coverage concealer with a great texture. It is easy to apply and leaves a smooth finish. I liked this concealer and it didn’t budge after application. It did get a bit cakey over time but I think if I had used a setting spray or blended it out better this wouldn’t be a problem. Overall given it’s price point it is a high quality concealer and I would recommend. -

I received this product free to try. I had been looking for a product to groom my brows and this showed up at the perfect time. I like the texture and consistency of it - it’s easy to work with and is not sticky and leaves a nice groomed finish. It is a bit difficult to control the amount of product though and I found that a lot of product collected in my brows and I needed to wash off the wand in order to remove product as it tends to clump together on the brush. I think the product works well but I would like a larger/better applicator given how thick the product is as a glue vs a gel. Overall I liked this product but it was more difficult to apply consistently than I would like. -

I use a lot of texturizing sprays and similar hair products and I just didn’t find this product to be right for my hair. I didn’t feel like it made my hair look better and it was difficult to control - my hair ended up feeling a bit crunchy. I think this would be good for people who have thinner hair and need a bit of volume but for me it made my hair look messy and unkempt - this might be good to use as more of a hair spray after styling but to create texture and waves I wasn’t a fan. -

I bite my nails and don’t really take care of them so this pen has a big job to do - I’m not really sure how effective it is yet as I’ve only used it once or twice but so far I like the way the oil feels on my nails and cuticles and the pen applicator is really handy and easy to use. I’m hoping this will strengthen my nails and cuticles but I liked the experience of using the product so far. -

Chickadvisor has now introduced me to many of th Neutrogena hydroboost products and I have got to say I love the line - which was quite surprising to me at first. This product is consistent with the high quality of the entire line - it has a nice light refreshing scent and a great texture and absorbs quickly into the skin. The difference in moisture is immediately apparent when I’ve moisturized one hand and not the other for example - you can feel the difference immediately in softness and moisture. This product is going to be a great after shower body moisturizer and I’m really excited to have gotten have chance to try it. -

This was a decent dry shampoo - it feels high quality, does not leave residue and is effective but I just didn’t like it as much as other products I have used. It doesn’t seem to work as effectively and I like the scent of other products I use more. That being said there is nothing wrong with this dry shampoo and it does the job. I just don’t think I would purchase again because it seems costly and I like other brands more. -
Garnier BB Cream 5-in-1 Miracle Skin Perfector (Normal to Dry Skin)

I like the way this product feels on my skin - it’s smooth and moisturizing and I like that it evens out my skin tone. I do find the colour difficult to match to my own and I find the coverage of this product lacking as compared to similar products I have tried.
I like the way the finish feels but it just doesn’t offer enough coverage for me or match my skin the way other similar products do so I will probably not be using it very much.

I was really excited to try this product. I love Clarins and I thought a rose coloured lip stain would be just what I needed for every day.
I find the colour too bright on me, it’s more of a popsicle pink than a neutral pink, and I find the stain just highlights imperfections on my lips. I don’t feel like it sinks in evenly and it is very bright. I do like the consistency of the product and the scent is amazing so maybe it’ll grow on me eventually but my first impressions are that I’m not wowed.

Bourjois Twist Up The Volume Mascara 24HR

I think this mascara is really cool - I have never really owned one like this before. It has an adjustable brush so you can “twist up the volume” and I like that it gives me options as to how dramatic I want my lashes to be. The mascara itself is a nice deep black and a nice consistency that doesn’t clump easily.
I have noticed more volume as compared to my regular mascara and it’s fun to choose which way to twist the brush.
I really liked this product but it’s a bit expensive compared to my regular mascara.

I’ve been looking for a lightweight sunscreen for the summer as the weather has started to heat up. The sunscreen in my cosmetics is not sufficient now that the sun is out more often and I hate heavy sunscreens that feel oily or greasy. This is a great product because it’s lightweight and goes on smooth, has a good texture and does not have a strong smell. I really enjoy the whole hydro boost line and I was very excited to have the opportunity to try this product. -
