At $17 for a 5g jar that hardly takes any product out a time, I had much higher hopes for this setting powder. This was an absolutely awful product for me. In about two hours, I have to blot and reapply product, so it does next to nothing for my combination oily-skin. And as far as looking great in pictures? Absolutely not! I got the feared ghost face in all of pictures and I made sure to use the tiniest amount of product! This bad boy is definitely going back to Sephora. -

This is one of the best moisturizers I've ever used. It's got a good level of moisturization-- not too heavy and not too light so I can use it both day and night. It didn't do too much to control my oily combination skin, but it did work amazingly to keep any acne at bay. A great product that's definitely worth the money! -

I am an avid candle and oil burner. I always have a candle burning in my bedroom and scented oil burning throughout the house. I cook with strong flavours and would never want any of my roommates to complain about the smell. It's important to me that the house always smells fresh and my bedroom should always smell relaxing. I use Febreeze fairly often on my sheets, sofas, curtains and any where else there's fabric in my house when I do my weekly cleaning. I thought that this was going to be a great product to use and I was right. In a small area, the scent is very concentrated. But when you place it an area that has more space (i.e. a basement or a main floor) it kills odour very quickly. It's not overbearing at all. As someone who absolutely hate floral scents, I was pleasantly surprised by the lavender. Because the oils change every so often, the lavender never gets too floral and the vanilla never gets too sweet. I was very cautious about this product because I get migraines very quickly and sometimes strong scents can be an irritant and cause them to come faster. This didn't give me any irritation. Considering it's meant to last 30 days, I think it's a great price. I would definitely purchase and recommend this product to anyone in their home! -

I was sent a whopping six bottles to review – I was definitely only expecting one, two at the maximum. I received two bottles each of three flavours; Black & Blue Berry, Strawberry Lemonade and Fuji Apple Pear. Each bottle consists of 591 mL of product and it’s nice that the nutrition information is given for the whole 591 mL. Each flavour contains only 10 calories, vitamin C, vitamin E, vitamin B5, vitamin B3, vitamin B6 and vitamin B12! It contains 0 sugars and only 16 carbohydrates.
I personally try to work out three to five times a week; I don’t do anything hardcore, just a half hour of cardio every other day. I end up drinking one bottle per workout continue to drink a few other bottles throughout the day. I have to remember to drink water though; it’s not something that I reach for first. My first choice is always coffee followed by herbal tea. Considering this is packed full of antioxidants, this is a good choice for me.
Generally as far as these products are concerned with taste, it tastes like watered down juice. And I mean a spoon of juice and five cups of water kind of watered down. This was not the case with these. They did have a slightly watery taste but it was hardly noticeable. You taste the fruitiness more than anything else. The Black & Blue Berry tastes great. I don’t taste blackberry too much, mostly blueberry. There’s an added sweetness that can be attributed to the blackberry. But it’s strange because I absolutely hate blueberries but love the way this tastes. The Fuji Apple Pear has to be my least favourite it’s sour and leaves a strange after taste in my mouth. It’s slightly bitter and I much prefer sweeter drinks. The Strawberry Lemonade is alright. It’s a cross between the two other flavours. When you first taste it its sour, then suddenly it gets sweet. I think it’s a nice balance of the two. Of all of them my favourite is the Black & Blue Berry. I reached for these instead of my usual tea and water bottle and really like them. I think that it’s something that I would definitely recommend and purchase!

I was really excited to try out this product. I have combination oily sensitive skin, and the majority of gel cleansers I have tried in the past year or two have broken me out. I liked the idea of a gel cleanser being exfoliating and I use Garnier products regularly so I thought this would be good to try. This product was really easy to use. All you have do is twist the top, squeeze out some product and twist the top again to lock it. The bristles were very gentle and not abrasive at all, so if you have sensitive skin this is a product you can definitely use. The cleanser was very mild. It doesn't take off makeup, but it isn't designed to, so that's okay. There wasn't a scent to it from what I could tell, and it left my skin feeling very soft and not tight at all. I used this product over the sink in the night and in the morning in the shower and still have plenty of product left. A little bit of this goes a long way. I noticed that after I applied my moisturizer, my skin was left very silky and soft feeling. Considering this product goes on sale for $5.99 I think it's a great product and will repurchase! -

Like many products from this company, this product is amazing. I wear a lot of nude coloured lipsticks which can be very drying. I only need to use this once in a while to fix that problem. I say once in a while because after one use all of my dryness on my lips was GONE. I used to have dry, peeling, flaking lips; since I've been using this my lips are soft, supple and smooth. I continue to use this on a weekly basis just because it feels great, but i can definitely go without using it for two weeks at the very least. $7.50 is an amazing price for this product and I will continue to purchase over and over and over and over... -

Oh... my... goodness. This product needs a whole lot more love than it's getting on every beauty community that exists. I am a chronic MAC buyer. When it comes to beauty products, it's rare where I found a product that I can't live without that isn't MAC or even department store oriented. This stuff is LOVE. Now that I have it, I can live without it. I first purchased it on a whim; one of my friends uses this brand all the time so I decided to give it ago. Cinnamon is my most favourite thing in the world so I chose this one and two others. Like I said, now that I've tried it I can't be without it. The next time I go to Bath & Body Works (where I purchased it for $7.50) I'll probably buy like 5. This is a MUST have. I use it in the morning, throughout the day and before I go to bed. I just can't get enough! Amazing lip product! -

I'm a medium to dark skin tone (an NC40 for all of you MAC users) and this stuff looked horrible on me. It looked very ashy and gave no coverage. I'm returning this tomorrow and getting something else. I wanted a drugstore powder foundation and it looks like I'll have to keep looking. $20 is WAY too much for a product that doesn't work. -
Maybelline New York Colossal Volum' Express Mascara
Amazing mascara! I've tried others than this I always end up going back. This usually goes on sale -- just bought another one for $5.99. It gives a lot of volume, length and holds the curl all day. My absolute favourite mascara

I'm really happy I received the free voucher in the mail for this product. There is no way I would pay the asking price for this stuff. Although it does keep my skin moisturized from one morning to another, the small amount that you get for a high cost is definitely not worth it. -
