Aveeno Active Naturals Stress Relief Moisturizing Lotion
This is one of my go to daily moisturizers. It makes my ski feel soft, and applies easily. The formula is creamy, but light, and is not too oily. The scent is also very delicate, and smells nice and flowery due to the mix of lavender and chamomile.

I received this product free, and will provide an honest review of the Maybelline precise fiber volumizer.
At first glance, I was shocked to see what the actual applicator looked like (it looked like some weird insect). It looked very clumpy, and there was no way of really removing extra product off. I tried this product over top of the Maybelline drama brow powder, and again over the Maybelline micro pencil. I normally use this type of product in combination with a product I would fill my eyebrows with (I mainly use this to make sure my all eyebrow hair are in order/going the same direction). The only difference here is that it's also tinted brown.
When I applied this product it went on a bit too much in spots (I blame that on the poorly designed applicator), but I did like the actual formula.
1st photo = without eyebrow products
2nd photo = with the Maybelline chalk and fiber volumizer on top
3rd photo = with the Maybelline micro pencil and fiber volumizer on top

I have received this product free, and will provide an honest review of my experience with the Maybelline Brow Precise Micro Pencil.
I use a large variety of brow product, and pencil formulas are probably my favorite. I have used really bad ones, and really good ones, and this one is excellent in my opinion.
What normally makes or breaks an eyebrow pencil is the applicator (if it's too thick/hard to sharpen, too clumpy, etc..) The actual pencil part is VERY thin and tiny, which is made it very easy to apply. It is extremely precise (given it's name), and leaves brows looking not too overpowering, but fills in where needed. I applied the product, and used the eyebrow comb on the other end to spread/blend the colour in a bit, and fade where I wanted. Also, the colour matched perfectly with my dark brown hair.
I would definitely buy this product again.

I was sent this product free, and will provide an honest review of my experience with the Maybelline brow drama chalk powder.
I am someone that does my brows everyday, and have used everything from eyebrow pencils, markers, gels, and powders. Powder's are some of my favorite type of formulas to use as they can be blended easily.
I received this colour in 'Soft Brown', and immediately I knew it was going to be too light for me. I would have had more luck with the 'Deep Brown' colour. If you have dark brown hair, the soft brown will be a bit too light, especially if you're someone that likes a bold brow.
The powder formula was nice, and was very easy to apply (although I did NOT use the applicator that they provide, it's much too thick to apply eyebrow product). Using a small eyebrow brush of my own worked really well, and the product did not have any fall out.
I am pretty sure I would buy this product again IF it were the darker colour.
I feel like photos speak louder than words, so here's a photo of my results.

I have tried a lot of lip products in the past, specially matte lip creams, and this is one is absolutely one of my all time favorites! The colour is so beautiful, and it applies very nicely. It goes on very wet looking, and then dries to a nice matte finish. I have worn this lip paint for an entire 8+ hours and it stayed on pretty nicely. After trying this tarte product, im wanting to try the other colours they have to offer! -

I thought this product was kind of a funny idea, but I wasn't really fond of it's name at first glance (a little corny). I think the overall smell of the product is nice, but I have other air fresheners that I prefer. I think the marketing behind this product is a little bit cheesy because any spray can be sprayed directly into the bowl before using the toilet to avoid bad smells. The only difference between this spray and other sprays is it's marketing techniques (sprayed BEFORE you go into the bowl, as apposed to spraying the air after), but if you really think about it, any spray will do the same job.
This spray also seems to be ridiculously over-priced for what you get (5.97$ at Walmart), while other bathroom sprays like glade for example are 1$.
I also think that this bottle is kind of large to put in a purse (depending how big of a purse you have), but would honestly just prefer using a glade mini (MUCH smaller, and does the same job).
This is an honest review based on a product I received free of charge.

NIvea 3-in-1 Micellar Water: Did an okay job!
I have never really tried Micellar Water before, and was surprised to find out it is actually supposed to remove makeup as well as cleanse. I don't use a lot of face cleaners because I have dry skin, and products just seem to irritate it. I normally remove my makeup with 100% coconut oil, and it does the job perfect!
I liked the feeling of the water on my face, and it surprisingly didn't leave me with that 'overly tight' feeling (although a little). It didn't remove ALL my makeup, but did pretty well. It removed my eyebrow/lip/face makeup, but didn't do as well on my waterproof mascara (maybe it didn't work because it was waterproof? I'm not sure).
If I had to choose between this product, or simply using coconut oil as I normally do, I would stick with my oil as it did a better job, and is nicer for my dry skin type. However, I didn't think the product was bad, it was pretty good, and if you have another skin type than mine, I think it could be a good choice!

NIVEA 2-in-1 Moisturizing Primer for Dry Skin: Just the right amount of moisture !
Background about my skin type: I am prone to dry skin, and experience flaking especially in the colder months. This tends to be a problem when applying foundation as it looks cracky/flaky. I have never used a primer before, but use skin moisturizers all the time.
I initially really liked the packaging of this product, as it is the perfect size, and looks pure in it's white box. I like that they have two different types, one of dry and sensitive skin, and one for normal skin types. I REALLY liked the smell of this product (I generally like scented products), and it quite pleasant in my opinion. That being said, if you don't like scented facial products or are sensitive to smells, I would NOT buy this product.
Application of the product was easy, and felt really nice and light on my skin. It is soft, and rubbed into the skin very quickly. I also didn't need too much product to cover my entire face.
As for using this product underneath foundation/powder, I thought it did a good job. My makeup seemed to stay on quite well, and I liked that I could combine a moisturizing cream specifically to go underneath my makeup!
