If you have a problem with oily skin - go buy this, NOW!! I have the oiliest skin in the world, and have tried numerous expensive "oil reducing" products with no luck. Then I tried this! Oh my god! It's AMAZING!!!
I put it on before bed, and also in the morning. It is called a "night lotion", but I have found that it works fine under my makeup, and it completely cures my oily skin problem. Without this lotion, I will have an oily shine on my entire face within 2 hours, max. With this lotion, I can go ALL DAY without any shine on my face. You have nooo idea how happy this makes me (unless you have a problem with oily skin yourself, then I'm sure you understand.) My cheeks are slightly dry, but I find that this moisturizes them enough, so it's even great for combination skin. If you feel like you aren't getting enough moisturizing power from this in your dry areas, you could just use this lotion on your oily areas and a different one for the rest of your face :)
As for blemish mark reducing power, I can't say yet, since I've only been using this for a few days. But I will update my review in the next few weeks and let you know!
If you have oily skin, do yourself a favour and try this lotion!! Just go to The Body Shop and ask them for a little sample, try it on your face and walk around the mall for a while. You will notice that your skin feels cleaner, and less oily than usual. I can't explain how happy it makes me!! :) :) :)

Recently had the opportunity to review this product, thank you Chick Advisor!! :)
First things first, it's very easy to use. Just twist off the caps, and plug it in!
I love how you can choose between the low and high setting. I found that my rooms are too small for the high setting, and when on high the scent really overpowered the room. But when on low, it's just perfect! I'd imagine if you had a really large open space the high setting might prove useful.
I've been using the Morning Walk/Cleansing Rain in my bedroom and I just LOVE it. The smell is addictive, and I'm definitely going to be buying refills once this runs out (which by the way, doesn't look like anytime soon as I've been using it for about a week and it's more than 3/4 full). I gave the Lavender Comfort/Gentle Vanilla scented one to my Gramma, and she put it in the living room. It smells great as well! I'm not usually a lavender fan as I tend to find it overpowering, but this lavender/vanilla blend seems to be just right.
Some reviewers mentioned that the unit is too big and noticeable, I agree that it is quite large but I think the design is cute and I quite like it!
I am very happy with this product and would definitely reccomend it to anyone who is a fan of air freshners. Febreze seems to be the leading brand! I just love all of their products!! <3

I have extremely oily skin, and was having problems with my mineral foundation fading and turning blotchy by the middle of the day, so I wanted to give a foundation primer a shot. I saw good reviews of this online, so decided to give it a shot! Plus Sephora has a great return policy, so if I wasn't happy with the product I could easily get a refund.
But I don't think I'll be returning it! I'm pretty happy with this. It's not a miracle product, but it definitely helps. It's a silicone based product, and it has a nice fresh smell to it, unlike other primers. You just need a small bit to apply to your whole face. It goes on really smooth and makes your skin feel amazingly soft! It has a slight blue tint to it so it hides redness. It also fills in large pores and fine lines so that your foundation isn't gathering in there at the end of the day. I found that it helped reduce my oily skin problem by about 60%. It definitely didn't cure it completely, but I'm happy with the results. My foundation lasts throughout my work day now, and I'm only slightly oily by the end of the day. I've been using it for about a week now, and I don't see any problems with breakouts or clogged pores, which is awesome since I have very acne-prone skin. Also, I've noticed that my skin is in better condition and is a lot less red even after I remove my makeup! Bonus!
I would recommend this to anyone that would like to reduce the oilyness of their skin, or smooth out large pores/fine lines.

Soooooo disappointed with this eyeliner!!!! I bought this because a makeup "guru" on youtube recommended it as a great, matte eyeliner. Perfect!! I thought. I love matte eyeliner so I gave it a shot.
Application was a pain in the ***!! The felt tip is really hard and unflexible, so it actually hurt and was really difficult to get a nice smooth line. As for the colour, it is very black and definitely matte, that is the ONE thing that I like about it. I wore it to work one day and by the middle of the day it was smudged all around my eyes, it looked horrible! I've never had a problem with liquid eyeliner smudging, or fading at all really.. so I was surprised.
Overall I can't believe how horrible this eyeliner is, and I really don't understand why someone recommended it on youtube. Save your money!!! There are WAY better liquid liners out there.

I love this sunscreen!! I have oily, acne-prone skin and I am always afraid to wear sunscreen on my face because I am afraid that it will cause more breakouts. But this sunscreen didn't at all! It absorbs quickly, and doesn't leave a greasy feeling whatsoever. It works great under makeup. Couldn't ask for anything more! Thank you Chick Advisor for providing me with this great product to review :) -

Thank you to Chick Advisor for sending me this product to review! I'm always on the lookout for a new mascara to try, I just love them. Since I love the look of false lashes, but feel that they can be uncomfortable, I thought that Maybelline's "The Falsies" Mascara could be the answer.
Well, not exactly. There are some good things and some bad things about this mascara, overall it is an OK product.
1.) First of all, the purple and light blue packaging is super-cute!
2.) I LOVE how it is very very black. I always buy mascara in the blackest colour that they offer, but this was definitely darker than all my other mascaras.
3.) I don't like the brush very much at all. I find that it is big and hard to work with. Also, I feel like it clumps my lashes together. I feel like this mascara has a good formula, but the problem is the brush. When I applied it my lashes would clump together and no matter how I moved around the brush I couldn't find a way to apply it so they wouldn't do this. Which is a shame, because I feel like the volumizing ability of this mascara would be great if they had paired it with a different brush.
So, what I do to solve this problem:
I apply a pretty thick coat of The Falsies, and while it is still wet I comb it through with the brush from my other mascara (Lash Blast Length works well). I find that this way, I can get the benefits from The Falsies formula, with great separation from the other brush.
When applied this way, The Falsies adds volume. length and great dark-black colour. So if you are willing to take the time to use a separate brush, I recommend this mascara to you. But otherwise, I would not recommend it.

Finally a thickening product that works!! This made my fine hair really thick and volumized. I put about 6 pumps in my long hair while it was still damp and massaged it near the roots. Then I blow dried and straightened my hair. I noticed when I was straightening it that the areas of my hair where I had some product in where kind of sticky and hard to straighten, so I would recommend keeping it as close to the roots as possible if you will be straightening your hair. -

Found a great deal on this at folica.com and decided to try it out. I'm so glad I did! I like this iron a lot more than the one I had before (which I paid almost 3 times as much for, yikes!) I love the temperature setting, I can set it to a lower temperature for my thin, weak hair and I feel like I'm not damaging it as much. It heat up amazingly fast, I think it only took about 60 seconds/ It straightens very well, even on a lower temperature setting. it doesn't snag my hair at all, It comes in several colours, I got the limited edition pink version and it's so cute :) If you are interested in this iron, or flat irons in general I recommend purchasing them off of folica.com, the shipping was fast and their customer service is great! -

I LOVE THIS!!! Had to write a review as soon as I got it so I could tell you all to go and get it. So I'll start with what it is, its a small container filled with a sweet, pink sugar. You use it by taking a tiny bit (it will last a while!!) and rubbing it into your lips. After most of the sugar has dissolved, you can just lick off the extra, it's edible!! (And delicious!!) It leaves your lips feeling smooth and moisturized, and it removes any dry, flaky areas. It tastes soooo good and the taste remains on your lips for hours, unlike most lip glosses. I love this so much! Will definitely buy more when it runs out. -

My new favourite product!! (Or a close second to Lash Blast Length). The light pink color is really flattering, and not too bright. I use it to highlight my browbone, the inside corner of my eyes and my waterline. It really did brighten up my eyes without looking fake, as white sometimes does. The consistency is great, kind of creamy so it isn't too harsh on the sensitive skin around your eyes. The only thing that I wasn't 100% happy with was I found that it really made any dry spots on my skin stand out, so make sure you have taken care of any dry skin problems before using this. Overall, love it! Does just what it claims to! -
