This is very easy to use and gives far better results than similar Covergirl products I’ve tried. The shape of the pencil makes getting definition easier and the spoolie allows you to arrange your eyebrows the way you want. It’s so convenient having both the pencil and spoolie in one.
This probably does as good a job as the more expensive pencils at less cost. For me this is an item that I am not going to be without.

Neutrogena Rapid Wrinkle Repair Prep Cleanser
As far as wrinkles go, I can’t say I’ve noticed any difference. It’s a relatively gentle cleanser, but it has some little scrubbies that you know are exfoliating. My face does look a little brighter, softer and all round better. #Gotitfree

I absolutely hate giving negative reviews unless I’m absolutely positive, something does or does not perform well and for that reason I’ve erred on the side of caution and given this three stars.
The first night I used this serum my face became very red. The website does state that one might experience redness, so I wasn’t overly concerned. The second night I had the same issue, so as per instructions on the website I used every second or third night.
Despite reducing the frequency I still had issues to the point where my face seemed to burn and itch constantly. Now I am prone to sensitivity so it may very well just be me. As I wasn’t able to use it consistently, I haven’t noticed any difference in my skin.
One thing of note, this is an oil and despite trying to use as little as possible my face remained very shiny as if it wasn’t being absorbed.
I have used other Neutrogena products and had zero issues. This didn’t work for me, but that doesn’t necessarily mean it won’t work for you.

I've never tried anything like this before, so I'm delighted that I was given the opportunity to try it. I usually just use a face cloth along with my cleanser and I've always thought that it did a good job of cleaning, but I now realise thanks to this sponge that it wasn't doing that great a job. After using this sponge with the same cleanser, my face felt so incredibly clean and brighter. I highly recommend this sponge because it does a great job. -

I really like the mix of sweet and salty and all the different textures. For me this is probably the perfect snack. There was one type of nut in the bag that I wasn’t fond of, but I have no idea which one it was. I would have liked it better if the percentage of chocolate to nuts was a little higher to off set the salty, but an enjoyable snack.
Probably a little over priced as it’s not all chocolate, but enjoyable just the same.

Absolutely delicious and just as I remember from when I was a child. There is quite a lot of packaging as each caramel is individually wrapped, however, at least this way you could give them out on Halloween.
The only issue I have with these caramels is that you can’t stop at just one. They’re that delicious!

As the name implies, these are the same as regular Kit Kat, equally delicious, but about half the size of a regular stick.
Here’s my dilemma, from an environmental stand point it’s terrific that there’s minimal packaging, however, this also makes them less portable and certainly not okay for trick or treaters.
I certainly enjoyed them, but they are all single unwrapped sticks in a bag. Fine if you keep it in a cool place and you can give a couple to your kids periodically, but I would rather go for the normal Kit Kat.

Overall I’m quite impressed by this curling wand and the only negative for me is that I wish it were a little lighter and slimmer.
Having said that I found it very easy to use. It very quickly heats up and the temperature settings, etc., are very easy to read and due to their positioning it would be quite difficult to change the temperature setting by accident. The swivel cord makes positioning the wand much easier and you don’t have to worry about the cord getting tangled. The curl direction is very easy to use. The curl activation switch for me is in the perfect position. Its well thought out design makes curling my hair very simple and quick.
It is a little harder to use this on shorter hair, but it’s still doable. You have full control to make the curls as tight or as loose as you wish. The automatic switch off is reassuring in case you forget to unplug it.
I have tried all kinds and styles of curling irons, and none of them really worked for me. This curling iron actually makes curling my hair kind of fun while I try all the different ways I can now curl my hair.
It’s definitely the best I’ve ever used.

How are these post-it notes different to regular ones? I took one of the post-it notes and ran these tests on it.
These are water resistant and will stick to absolutely anything. I tried on a variety of surfaces, both indoor and out, and found it sticks well.
I attempted to tear one and despite my best efforts I couldn’t, all it did was wrinkle it a bit. After twisting and pulling I was finally able to get it to tear a little bit, but it wasn’t easy. I probably just weakened it with all the pulling, etc.
Despite their shiny appearance they’re very easy to write on.
You can stick the post-It note on one surface, move it to another area and it will stick without leaving a sticky residue on the first surface.
Yes, they are very expensive, however, they’re a lot more versatile than regular ones. I suppose it would all depend on what you are planning on using them for.
As for me? I think I will stick with this brand.

This is a gentle makeup remover, so it will take a little effort to remove it all, especially eye makeup. Although it didn’t irritate my skin, it did leave it feeling a little oily. Given the choice I think I prefer the milky makeup removers.
I would have liked a pin hole opening as it’s easier to control how much you use, but that’s just my preference.
