I'm relatively new to the use of clay masks, but from what I've tried, this is one of the best. It's super affordable, and does the job of pulling out gunk and giving your face a deep clean. It feels a bit tight after it's been left on for 10 minutes but I enjoy the smell so I don't mind. It doesn't do anything dramatic for blackheads, but I do see a slight difference after using this mask. I'm not enough a mask user to comment on the quality of the ingredients, so I'm not sure if the low price is accounted for when you look at the ingredients... -

I got this to test as part of product review and I was quite underwhelmed. I've been hunting for good volume boosting (especially at the roots) since my teens, and I was hoping this one would be a game changer... it wasn't. It performed about the same as any given hairspray, but in a smaller can. The supposedly unique factor for this product is that it's meant to be a finer spray that needs less product to be sprayed than a regular hairspray can would. I didn't think that the fewer sprays really accomplished what regular hairspray would do in double the amount of sprays. The good thing about this hairspray though, was that the mist is indeed fine and doesn't get sticky or visibly hardened in the hair. The scent was also nothing too strong, so I do like that. Overall, I'd give this one a pass if you have any other hairsprays that are tried and true for your styles. -
St. Ives® Fresh Skin Apricot Scrub

This scrub has a nice scent and mild exfoliating beads. The price is good and the product seems to always be available. That's about all that it has going for it, imo. I don't think it does much for my skin, I've seen no difference since I started using it. Generally, I don't like to use exfoliants too many times in the week, so maybe I would have different results if I were using this daily (it's marketed for daily use) but I prefer not to do that, so I won't be repurchasing this. -
Garnier SkinActive Moisture Rescue Recovery Gel Cream Night Care

I like the gel consistency of this cream. I got it to add some hydration back in the winter and it's done a good job of that. I liked that it went on light since I layer sunscreen and makeup over it. I wish it did a better job of keeping oil out but I guess that could be any of the products that I'm using in combination with this. -

I got this because it was packaged with the Laneige lip sleeping mask, which is the product that I really wanted. I was pleasantly surprised that this sleeping mask is something that I enjoy using. Through using it over several weeks, my dry winter skin has been much less dry and flaky and even has some radiance. I find that you don't need to use that much product every time, so it'll last you, but I still don't think the sleeping mask is that much of an essential that I'd want to repurchase. I think that if there were more nourishing ingredients, then it would justify the price. -

I tried this product as part of the Product Review trial. I've only tested it twice so far, so take my opinions with a grain of salt...
The product is scentless and spreads on the face quite easily, without feeling too greasy or slippery. The texture seems a little thick for my liking, but it ends up absorbing quite well into the skin so I can't complain. I tried the cream before I went to bed, and I woke up without any dry spots or huge problem areas. I've been using a few sheet masks and sleeping masks earlier in the week, so I can't be sure if that helped or if it's this product that is totally responsible for that. I was glad, though, that my face didn't feel overly oily in the morning, which is does when I've used something on it overnight.
I did notice a few small pimples forming on my forehead, which were not there before I used the product but I don't know if that's just my hormones doing their thing... the product is marketed to sensitive skin so I'm less inclined to thinking that it broke me out. After I've spent more time using it, I'll probably be able to make that call.

This is a spray used after washing your hair. I didn't see anything in the ingredients to suggest this, but it says it nourishes hair and causes less breakage when you brush your hair after. The product does an okay job but I'm getting sick of the smell. It's not a strong smell but it bugs my nose now. In the store, I gave it a little whiff and thought the smell was fine. For some reason when I use it now, I don't like the smell. -

This is the body wash I come back to again and again. I`ve been using this since my early teens and have only strayed away when I ran out or to try other ones because I was interested in the scent. But Dove body wash is the one I return to consistently because it just works. It lathers well, has a fresh scent, and doesn`t leave any uncomfortable residue. It washes away completely. Even my dog liked the scent haha. -

This is a good staple body moisturizer. I wouldn`t say there`s necessarily anything that made it stand out to me against other body lotions on the market, but I think it is a decent choice. I didn`t find it to be too greasy, it absorbed easily into the skin and dried quickly to leave skin feeling soft and supple. -
Dove Powder Anti-Perspirant Stick
Personally, I'd give this one a pass. I don't actually use stick deoderants much anymore but when I did, this was not my favourite. I didn't like the scents of this line and I didn't find it did much for me. I prefer Secret brand.
