I received this as a promotional item. It's a similar size to a personal bar of soap - shaped like a drop of water. I wish I could comment on the scent (if there is one) but I lost my sense of smell a few months ago😐 The product cleanses quite well (I was given the Argan and Camellia one) - Personally I think I need a shampoo that is a little more 'gentle' (colored/dry/damage). I love the concept of 'bar shampoo' though!! Especially for traveling/gym etc., I've always hated packing bottles of shampoo/conditioner for trips - heavy and takes up way too much valuable packing real estate lol! Now Garnier needs to come up with a 'bar conditioner' and the product should come with a soap container too lol! -
rose gold Milani lip scrub

I thought this might actually 'taste' good too...nope! It sure does have sugar in it. It's literally a rose flavored/scented gooey lip gloss with lots of sugar mixed into it.
I can't imagine wearing this - you can't help but be distracted with the rose flavored (ick)sugar crystals that get into your mouth every minute.
Cost just over $11 - I returned it

Redken Iron Shape 11
At first, I did not like this product. I wasn't expecting the texture it added to my hair. I assumed this product was just to protect from the flat ironing I do every day. It's like a hair spray/holding product and a heat (spray on dry hair)... +
At first, I did not like this product. I wasn't expecting the texture it added to my hair. I assumed this product was just to protect from the flat ironing I do every day.
It's like a hair spray/holding product and a heat (spray on dry hair) protector too!
The smell is something my stylist said 'smells so great', but I don't think so. Not that it is offensive, but not certainly not something I'd label as 'smelling great'.

Premier Protein Caramel Shake
I'm not liking some of ingredients used...Don't like that there are 'natural' (dubious actually...) and artificial too....Don't like the fact that they use artificial sweeters/various 'gums' and carrageenan (causes inflammation). That being said... +
I'm not liking some of ingredients used...Don't like that there are 'natural' (dubious actually...) and artificial too....Don't like the fact that they use artificial sweeters/various 'gums' and carrageenan (causes inflammation).
That being said, it tastes good - not too sweet - like that it is low carb (2 net carbs!)/low sugar. 160 calories. Not that much different than many other products out there...'better' macros though.

Cover FX Power Play Concealer

I went to Sephora and the 'color match specialist' found my perfect match. My skin just looks like skin. It's creamy/non chalky. I applied to my eyelids/undereyes (of course) and no sensitivity (which I usually have with products). I apply with a foundation/concealer brush. $40 (Canadian)
I just was hoping for a little more cover...however it's still offers a good 'disguise'...I have a little scar that I was hoping would completely 'disappear'...not quite there.

Loving Benefit's Roller Lash, but this one is just as good.
Hope it doesn't get 'clumpy' in the next few weeks (The Benefit's Roller Lash is still rocking...no clumps btw)

Olay Eyes Ultimate eye cream
For me, it is just a nice cream for eyes. I didn't really find anything overly impressive. Sure it helps with dryness but didn't really do anything for my dark circles or my puffiness. It's had such great reviews but I guess I've experienced... +
For me, it is just a nice cream for eyes. I didn't really find anything overly impressive. Sure it helps with dryness but didn't really do anything for my dark circles or my puffiness.
It's had such great reviews but I guess I've experienced other creams just as 'good' and often better.

Pb and Me Powdered almond butter

I was 'excited' to try this - as I love the original PB and Me product (sugar or sugar free are both great!)
However, the Almond version is tasteless - doesn't taste like Almond - it basically tastes like flour. So I'm using it as a binder for sauces or pancakes etc.,
Plus it's quite expensive - not going to purchase again but I could be a 'groupie' for the pb flavor - will be purchasing the organic one that is now available.

L’Oreal Dream Lengths No Haircut Cream
I did like that product was no oily - Not having to cautiously 'afraid' of putting too much on and being a 'grease ball' as with a lot of serums I've tried. It's good for straight hair - Didn't find it encouraged my natural curl - good or bad... +
I did like that product was no oily - Not having to cautiously 'afraid' of putting too much on and being a 'grease ball' as with a lot of serums I've tried.
It's good for straight hair - Didn't find it encouraged my natural curl - good or bad depending what your going for
Very inexpensive - Not sure if I will purchase again..it's ok, but I will try other products next to get it 'right' (finger's crossed)

I recently been using Benefit's Roller Lash mascara. So far, this product is really quite good - no clumps! Super concentrated, glossy pigment - One coat is more than enough.
Not sure if the 'no' clump will still remain after a month, etc., but so far (2 weeks) it's been great.
My new favorite
