I usually stay away from leave in products such as this because they have the tendency to weigh down my hair however, this does nothing like that! It nourishes my hair without any heaviness and I love that it protects my hair from UV rays too.
The scent is soft and fresh and it dissipate within a few minutes so don't worry if you are sensitive to scent. The texture is a lightweight cream, blends into the hair without any heaviness or tackiness and it leaves my hair feeling fresh and bouncy for days.
Love this so much and will be repurchasing the full size!

So many love the formula of this but unfortunately, I am not the biggest fan. It’s too light when used as a moisturizer and my skin also gets really shiny as if it’s trying to compensate for the dryness. It’s okay as a sunscreen (there is an SPF50 version too) but I have to wait 5-10 minutes for it to fully dry down and sink in before makeup. I don’t mind this on my indoor minimal makeup days but there are way better options in the market.
All that said, I do think this is better suited for my skin during Winter when I need more hydration. It's just too much for Summer and I hate how heavy it feels on my skin.

I have read so many amazing reviews about this hand cream so I have high expectation for it and wow, it didn't disappoint! The texture is a lightweight gel-cream hybrid, absorbs quickly without leaving any residue or tackiness and leaves my hand feeling really soft and smooth. It does have a light refreshing scent to it and I do think everyone won't mind the fragrance at all. I have been using it for almost a week and there is no signs of dryness in sight! This is definitely a repurchase in the future, thank you so much Neutrogena for this wonderful budget friendly hand cream -

I am not a huge fan of makeup wipes in general and the only time I use one is when removing lipstick after a meal or when removing swatches. I am surprised at how much I enjoyed these wipes! They are gentle, didn't sting my skin and eyes and remove makeup amazingly well. It does have a slight scent but it's soft and pleasant. Didn't dry out my skin either so I will repurchase especially for travel. -

I've always found peel-off masks to be fun but a little gimmicky. My biggest problem is most are hard to peel off and I feel like I'm ripping out my skin. Aveeno Ageless Pre-Tox Peel Off Mask is purple in colour and smells like a basket full of fresh berries.
To apply is easy; just use fingers or brush (I prefer the former) and apply an even and medium thickness layer all over the face. I highly recommend avoiding areas that have hairs....it will hurt like a mofo when you peel it off.
This mask, unfortunately, is a little hard to peel regardless how thick of a layer I apply. It somehow dry down into a very thin layer and I literally have to scratch my skin off to try get it off. I finally gave up and rinse it with water and a wash cloth instead.
My skin does look a touch brighter after removal, I just wish this was easier to peel off.

I received this product courtesy of ChickAdvisor in exchange for my honest review.
Initially I was very sceptical about this product as I have no idea what it's for but oh boy, this is heaven sent for my dry spots all over my body especially on my toes! I love my high heels but they destroy my toes and knuckles due to all the rubbing against the heels.
The packaging of this ointment is also genius, I love the plastic applicator as it allows precise application. It really hydrates and nourishes all the dry, sore and cracked skin and heal the areas within a few days. It's lightweight but hydrating and non-greasy too.
This is a forever repurchase for me or at least until it comes a day I stop wearing high heels which is....never. LOL!

I adore Aveeno and have been a loyal fan for many years now but this was a complete fail for me. I appreciate the fact that it's very hydrating and unscented but the texture was way too heavy and greasy. The product seems to sit on top of the skin and never absorbs so my skin feels sticky for hours.
Sorry Aveeno, I usually love you but this was a major flop for me.

Currently testing and loving the new:
@niveacanada Micellar Water For Dry & Sensitive Skin* ( #gotitfree courtesy of @chickadvisor )
1. Micellar Water for Dry and Sensitive Skin
• I was apprehensive about testing this product because I hated, like truly, madly, deeply despised the old version. The previous one that I tried was an absolute wank; doesn’t remove makeup, doesn’t do shit and I actually pour it down the sink after 3 tries.
• This new version is thankfully lovely! It’s gentle but removes makeup well. It also leaves my skin feeling soft and hydrated and not stripped. It reminds me of my holy grail Bioderma Hydrabio micellar Water but for a smaller fraction of the price!
• Final verdict? Brilliant and worth repurchasing!

Currently testing and loving the new:
@niveacanada Care Nourishing Cream* and Micellar Water For Dry & Sensitive Skin* ( #gotitfree courtesy of @chickadvisor )
1. Care Nourishing Cream
• This is meant for body, face and hand but I specifically use it only for body and hands.
• It’s a very thick cream that surprisingly absorbs really quickly without leaving any stickiness or reside and leaves my skin feeling baby soft and smooth.
• I don’t have to reapply this cream as it leaves my skin moisturized the whole day! It does have the usual Nivea scent but it’s soft and not overpowering.
• Final verdict? Highly recommended!

I have gone through so many bottles of this goodness, to be exact I am half way done with my 4th bottle and thanks to Chick Advisor, I now have my 5th! So what is it? It's not a serum but more of an essence aka skin booster/hydrator.
The ingredient list is simple; just 11 ingredients and this is the first Vichy product that is fragrance free and it is really scentless. It has a gel texture which absorbs into the skin almost instantly without leaving any residue but it does feel a touch tacky for a few seconds before it drying down to nothing. It layers really well under all my other skincare products and doesn't cause any pilling either which is a huge bonus.
This is NOT a product that will show you miracle results overnight or after a week but if you dedicatedly use it right after cleansing and toning twice a day and everyday for a month, you will notice how plump, radiant and just generally healthier your skin looks.
I have always been a huge fan of Vichy and have repurchased and loyally used the products for years which I contributed to my great skin.
