I love this product! I bought it because Tati (Youtube Makeup Guru) always talks about it. I have never found a concealer that I have really been a fan of, until this product. The concealer is very thin, which I like - I hate overly thick concealers. Despite how thin it is, it has amazing coverage! I only need the tiniest but of product to cover my under eye circles, and it doesnt settle in the creases or look patchy (I find some concealers look patchy on my dry skin). The applicator makes it easy to gently dab product on and build it up to cover blemishes. I use this in other areas on my face, because it just works so well and blends flawlessly. I will definitely be buying this product again and again. While the bottle does seem small, it takes such a small amount of product to get results. -

I received this product to test as part of the Product Review Club. I was not a fan, the appearance of them is kind of scary. They come in a plain looking plastic vial that looks similar to vials we have at my medical clinic (kinda creeped me out). The taste is not terrible but I found that it did nothing to improve my energy. I would much rather just take a tasteless pill to get vitamins than have to drink something that looks gross. If you prefer drinking nutrients, then maybe this is for you.. but I didn't personally feel any difference in regards to my energy levels. -

I received this product to test as part of the Product Review Club.
Pros:
- Very chocolatey, which I like! I gave a bar to a friend and she really liked it as well. She eats a lot of different protein bars and she really liked the taste.
- Worked well to fill me up, I could eat this on the go at my job and feel full for a few hours.
- Not overly sweet, texture was good.
- Relatively low calorie
Cons:
- Has this weird protein bar taste that I find most protein bars do. It wasn't too unpleasant, but I wish there was some way to mask this.
- Kind of dry, definitely need a drink to get through this bar.
Overall I did like this bar, my friend definitely liked it more than I did. It fills me up much more than other things I would snack on, and it is a good source of protein, which I find hard to get enough of as I am vegetarian. I would consider getting these again in the future. They taste good and they do work well as a meal replacement.

I received these strips as part of the Product Review Club. I would definitely recommend them for face waxing. They are easy to use, it is easy to be precise with them so it makes doing above the eyebrows easy. They did manage to remove nearly all of the hair from my face, so I will continue to be using them. Unfortunately for the bikini area these just aren't strong enough. The strip maybe grabbed about 5 hairs but that was it, totally useless for thicker hair. It was also hard to warm them up to a decent temperature, I actually used my blow dryer on a strip for a little bit to get the wax sticky enough, but this could potentially burn you so be careful if you do this. I would only recommend for the face area, I might buy them again in the future for that use. -

I received this product as part of the Product Review Club and I absolutely LOVE it! I will never buy another dry shampoo again! I have always struggled with dry shampoo making my hair look too white/grey, especially if I use it for a couple of days in between washes. This Batiste dry shampoo works amazing! It is not a super dark brown but it blends in perfectly with my hair. It smells quite pleasant too, and it works very well to make my hair look refreshed. I let my coworker use it as well and she instantly asked... where can I get this stuff? I know Batiste dry shampoos are a little more pricy than other ones, but that is because it works so much better. I have tried other dry shampoos and none of them compare, I recommend this to anyone! -

I received this product as part of the Product Review Club. Unfortunately I was not a fan of these makeup wipes. The one pro that they have, is that they can get makeup off of your face (which any makeup wipe should). However there are quite a few cons I found, I would not personally recommend these wipes to a friend. First of all, I find the scent to be strong, I don't like to put such heavily scented products on my face when I am supposed to be cleaning my skin, it also makes my eyes burn a little bit. The wipes were not very wet, and I had to put the Nivea makeup remover in a bottle onto them so that they would be more moist. The texture of the wipes themselves are nothing special, there is not texture or anything to them that helps to remover makeup. I much prefer the Ponds Makeup Remover wipes, they have a quilted texture, little to no scent, very moist - these are awesome at removing makeup. The Balea wipes are also very good, and very cheap. -

I received this product to test as part of the Product Review Club. I think that this is a good, standard makeup remover. I like that it is gentle, because I have found other makeup removers to be irritating to my eyes, making them burn. This makeup remover does not do that, so I will definitely continue to use this. I prefer my foaming Clean&Clear;makeup remover, as I feel like it gets more makeup off with less product. A con to the Nivea remover is that you will need to use a couple of wipes to get all of your makeup off if you tend to wear a lot of eyeliner/mascara. -

I have this lip stain in 'Cherish', a pinkish subtle colour, and 'Romantic' a red colour. I enjoy these lip stains for a subtle lip look, they add a good touch of colour to the lips, and they aren't drying. The colour tends to fade after a while but it is very easy to reapply quickly. They have a subtle scent, sort of minty. I like having these to throw in my bag for a pop of colour. I wish there was a better selection of nude colours, I cold not find one that looked very natural with my skin tone, they were too pink or orange. I would recommend this product though as I find lipstick tends to be very drying or smudgy, and this product stays put. -

This is my favourite foundation! I have tried many different foundations - high end and drug store, however my skin is quite dry and flaky, and no matter how much exfoliating, priming and moisturizing, its hard to find a foundation that adheres to my face properly and is long lasting. I usually find at the end of the day my foundations would look quite patchy, however this is not the case with this foundation! The coverage is medium I would say, but buildable. It makes my skin look perfected, but still natural with some dewy-ness, not cakey or overdone. It doesn't even feel like I have foundation on when I wear this product, which I love. It lasts all day, and has SPF which is a bonus - I do notice a little shine after a long day so some setting powder is needed. The only two downsides are 1.) Price ($50 for foundation is steep, but you only have one face, so I'm okay with spending a little more on something I apply all over it every day) and 2.) Shade selection - I can find my shade just fine but it does seem like there is a limited selection that may make it tricky for others. I would definitely recommend this foundation - I already have to two friends and they like it just as much as me! -

Not super impressed by this mascara - I much prefer Maybelline when I get drug store mascara. The wand was good for getting right down to the root and covering every lash, but didn't add a ton of length. It is good for bulking up the lash, just not much for length. Also I found the mascara itself to be kind of dry, it didn't really want to adhere to my lashes too well and therefore didn't seem to do a whole lot for my lashes. It is okay, but there are much better options. I would personally not buy this mascara because I prefer a more dramatic or noticeable look with my eyelashes. -
