This is a great gentle cleanser that doesn't irritate or dry out my skin. However, for people who are expecting this to remove makeup like I was, it doesn't. This should be marketed as the second step in a double cleanse, and if this is the expectation in mind, then this cleanser works wonderfully.

This hair removal product is very easy to use. Just put it on for a few minutes and wipe it off. I quite like the applicator that comes with it as it makes it mess free. It just glides on the areas you want, removing the need to put the cream on the hands, and then transferring it to the necessary areas. As for effectiveness, it worked for me. Just keep in mind that there is quite a strong scent to it. There is also tingling (not burning) after using it and my skin does become quite red, so I would recommend using this product only when you know you won’t be going out immediately afterward.

I don’t always buy vanilla because this seemingly simple flavour is difficult to wow me, and many vanilla ice cream brands I’ve tried tastes rather plain or boring. However, I was very excited to try this version as it uses beans from Madagascar, Tahiti, and Papua New Guinea. Each spoon is so creamy and flavourful, with none of that artificial tasting vanilla. So glad to have tried this! Definitely one of the top vanilla ice creams out there. Only caveat is that the size is so small! Would love bigger containers for this line!

Upon receiving the little sample packets, I thought it was quite creative in terms of packaging and how we were supposed to get the product out (fold in half, press, mix). It is more on the wasteful side due to the individual packaging but it does indeed keep the ingredients fresh and maximize the product's capabilities. However, upon actual usage, it was rather difficult to get the product out. I think the idea is there but execution could be improved. This is purely regarding the samples, so the full size likely will not have this problem.
As for the product itself, it absorbed well into my dry skin and my skin did become soft with a nice glow. However, 7 days of testing wasn't long enough to test the antiaging properties so I can't comment on that side of things. It does have a slight but nice scent to it but nothing overwhelming, and if scent is a concern you can definitely try or smell it in store first. Overall, this is a nice moisturizing serum if you’re on the lookout for one! #DoubleSerum #ClarinsSkinCare #gotitfree

I received this product for free in exchange for my honest opinion. This is a very luxurious cleansing oil that really did improve my skin. My skin has more glow and feels smoother since using it. It is very gentle and removes most of my makeup, and after using it my skin doesn't feel tight or dry. I do however need to go in with a second cleanse as a personal preference. And while it is nice to use, I'm not sure about the hefty price tag that comes along with it.

First of all, this device has a pretty exterior. It is small and convenient to bring with on travelling if needed, and is discreet enough that other people are unlikely to know what it is unless they opened the cap. I love that it comes with a built in light, so that you can really see the fuzz that needs to be taken away, or if you’re in an area that doesn’t have enough light, you can still use this. This hair remover really doesn’t cut you, but while it works, it isn’t a super close “shave”. To combat that, you sort of need pull your skin taut and press the device a little harder into your skin. Also, it does require you to go over the same area a few times to get rid of the fuzz in that spot, nothing difficult, just requires more time. I would recommend this to people who are have more sensitive skin, do not use razors/wax, or are afraid of cuts and nicks. You just need to allocate a dedicated amount of time to finish using it. Do note that this does not come with any replaceable heads, so when it is dull, you will have to repurchase the heads to keep up with its original condition.

I was very excited when I saw this product was made with 100% natural plant extracts. The packaging itself is very sleek - it has a matte touch and the overall design looks very polished. I also had the original version on hand and realized the original one is actually heavier despite the same product size. It feels like in this Green Tea & Chamomile version, the bottle in terms of packaging is lighter and less bulky, and the button for the nozzle is more comfortable and ergonomically designed. The product itself is definitely easy to use and it works well to get rid of oil buildup in the hair. And like the original version, it does give out white patches, but can easily be combed out/worked into the hair. Just something to be aware of in case you're in a rush or forget - always check the mirror before you leave or you may be in for a surprise! I found the scent to be a nice scent, but it may be a little strong for those who are sensitive to smell. Overall, this product works, so if you're looking for a dry shampoo made from natural plant extracts and aren't sensitive to scents, and/or wants a lighter bottle that has a nice, sleek design, this one's for you!

I got this toothpaste in exchange for an authentic opinion and review. After trying it, I noticed that my teeth were slightly whiter, and after each use my teeth has a lasting clean and fresh feeling. There is a nice minty taste that is just right and isn't overbearing or too strong. The toothpaste itself is a pure white paste and it doesn't melt when you run it under water to wet the toothbrush. Do note that it isn't a gel formula in case that's a deciding factor. In general this toothpaste works great and I'd definitely buy more after I finish with this one! -

I received this product as a sample and tried it as a night cream and as a day cream. Upon opening it, there is a strong scent. For anyone whose skin cannot tolerate scented creams, then this one may not work for you. I would add however that the smell does fade away over time, so keep that into consideration. The cream itself is light blue and has a gel-like consistency. It absorbs quickly and leaves a slightly sticky residue on the face. Ideally, I would prefer using this at night due to the sticky nature of the cream, but in the morning when I woke up the product was completely absorbed and the stickiness was gone. For me, this isn't enough hydration especially given that it claims to provide 72 hours of hydration. Overall, for a normal day time moisturizer, it is decent if you don't mind the slight sticky feeling it leaves on your face and just disregard the 72 hours of hydration claim. I would recommend this cream to anyone who is looking for a light weight and refreshing moisturizer! -
