IT Cosmetics Confidence In A Gel Lotion Moisturizer was a sample I received and was curious to try as gels and hybrid-gels can be hit or miss for me. It was my first gel-lotion.
This product had a lovely consistency, silky and smooth, it absorbed well and left no tackiness behind. I tried it after my skin had been irritated by another product, and this felt very soothing and calming for my skin. It left my skin feeling hydrated, and moisturized throughout the day, and I didn't feel the need to reapply anything to my face as I sometimes do.

Youth To The People Kale Spinach Green Tea Age Prevention Cleanser is the HG of cleansers for so many people and has so many rave reviews that I was thrilled to get my hands on a sample to try it as I am looking into more cleansers for situational cleansing.
It cleaned my face well. There was a light later, a scent that a bit green, but it doesn't smell like a salad like I read somewhere and it's very mild. But I have dry skin, and my face felt very tight and almost stripped afterwards. I have better cleansers and I don't need one that leave my skin desperate for moisture. This may be a product much better suited for people with normal to oily skin. I don't recommend it for people with dry skin.

I suffer from chronic migraines and I love face masks. I thought the Sephora Collection Supermask - The Freezing Mask would be a one two punch of goodness for me.
I stuck the mask in the fridge for a few hours before using it, for full effect. It fit great, and for my first hydrogel mask, I thought the sensation was kind of like firm jello but in no way slimy. It felt nice and cool from the fridge, and the tingling from the mask (good tingling, not almost burning tingling) felt nice too, though I wish that lasted longer, which is the only reason this isn't 5 stars for effectiveness. I already repurchased.

I tried a sample size of Summer Fridays Overtime Mask from Sephora. I may have come in with high expectations based on rave reviews.
It smelled nice, bright and punchy. However, it burned as soon as I put it on. I decided to leave it on a bit and the burn faded to tingles, but I washed it off sooner than 10 minutes. Given that sensation, I decided not to try exfoliating with it. My skin felt ok afterwards, but not any different than if I had just washed it. As it's pricey, I wouldn't purchase it. Perhaps it's meant more for people with normal to oily skin, I don't recommend for people with dry or sensitive skin.

I get NyQuil Liquid for my family to soothe cold and flu symptoms, as well as to ease cough and congestion symptoms to allow for sleep and rest. I would say that it's generally pretty helpful as long as the symptoms go to the medium - strong range. Past that, it's at most somewhat helpful. I can't use it myself due to the decongestant being a possible migraine trigger and my suffering from chronic migraines. -

The Kiwi Express Shine Sponge is one of the greatest hacks ever! There are cheaper versions, and they work too, but the original is great and I find is easiest on real leather.
The sponge works best on real leather, lightly conditioning the material, lightly cleaning it and giving it a nice shine. Meant for shoes, it works great on purses, belts, jackets, accessories, chairs, etc. It also works great on pleather, vegan leather, and other similar materials and surfaces.
It works TOO well on hardwood so keep it out of little hands and away from pranksters or your hardwood floors will become dangerous skating rinks until you scrub them down like crazy to get rid of the residue. Funny once, not so funny the 25th time or when something breaks.

I get occasional but strong acid reflux. Not enough for it to be diagnosed as GERDs, but enough that I need medication that can take care of it safely and quickly. Pepcid AC Maximum Strength has worked consistently for me for years and I keep some at home and in my purse just in case. It takes on average 15-20 minutes to kick in for me, but then works for hours. -

I get very bad nausea and motion sickness due to my chronic migraines as well as the medication I take to prevent and treat them. I have prescription anti-nausea medication, but I often turn to Ginger Gravol Chewable Lozenges instead or as well as I find helps a lot, and is less harsh on my stomach. I am now experiencing motion sickness when I drive over 20 minutes, and this is what I reach for as well. I love that I don't need to have a drink to swallow a pill. The new formula is a great improvement as with the stevia it's much less bitter. -

I purchased it as part of a Sephora Favorites set. It was one of the main reasons for the purchase as I REALLY wanted to try a Fresh lipbalm, being a lipbalm addict.
I love it. The set version is tiny, so you need more than one pass, but I feel like it really helps my kips and makes them feel protected, soft and moisturized. I don't need to reapply anything for a long time afterwards. I feel like the full price for a full-sized version is still overpriced, but on sale a set of Fresh lipbalms may be worth it, and I got one, so more reviews to come later!

Too Faced Cosmetics Peach Mega Moisture Lip Balm smells amazing, like ripe summer peaches. I want to lick my lips and taste it!
However, it's a jar you have to stick your finger in, not my favorite. But the main problem is you need a TON of product before any effect is felt, way more than any other lipbalm I have ever used before. Even then, 30 minutes later at most, without having eaten or dunk anything, I need to apply something on my lips again. This is a useless lipbalm, only good for decorating the vanity or to use when you want to have something to smell nice for 5 minutes.
