I #gotitfree to try and had a pleasant experience. I think this is a product that lots of acne sufferers will appreciate since acne treatments are notoriously drying for the skin. It's nice to have something that's specifically marketed for moisture. The pump worked fine and I could control how much product was dispensed out. It had a liquid/milky consistency which threw me off because it honestly looks like... I'll say a man-made substance. After I got over that, I used a healthy amount on the face and there was some left over for my neck. At first there was no smell, but then I smelled orange peel when spreading it around my nose. Overall, it feels lightweight, spreads easily, and I noticed I was more matte than I usually am after moisturizing. I think this will be an easy step to add to my skin routine. I will add that I had some small breakout the next day, but I'm not sure yet if it was caused by this product.
C'etait mon plaisir de l'essayer comme #cadeau. Je pense que c'est un produit que beaucoup de personnes souffrant d'acné apprécieront car les traitements pour l'acné sont assez asséchants pour la peau. C'est bon d'avoir quelque chose qui est spécifiquement pour ca. La pompe a bien fonctionné et j'ai pu contrôler la quantité distribuée. Il avait une consistance liquide / laiteuse qui ressemble... Je dirais une substance faite par l'homme... Après avoir surmonté cela, j'ai utilisé une bonne quantité sur le visage et il en restait pour le cou. Au début, il n'y avait pas d'odeur, mais ensuite j'ai senti d'orange en autour du nez. Il est léger, se propage facilement et j'ai remarqué que j'étais moins graisseuse que d'habitude. Je pense que ce sera une étape facile à ajouter dans ma routine. J'ajouterai que j'ai eu quelques boutons le lendemain, mais je ne sais pas encore si c'est causé par ce produit.

I have no love for the original chapstick tubes (the ones that come in the traditional packaging with the twist up balm) but this Total Hydration line is a different story. They deliver on hydration through a waxy kind of feel. Those that prefer a softer and more emollient kind of texture might not like these, but if you're satisfied with a harder balm, then you'll like this. As for the tint, this shade has great pigmentation. It's a light pink which I believe is blue-based. It's not like a bubblegum pink but a more mature and natural shade, in my opinion. I think it would suit light, medium and deep skin tones. If you layer on more product, then the intensity of the colour will show up. I find that the hydration and colour also last for a decent amount of time before I feel the need to re-apply maybe every 1.5 hours or so. -
Batiste Dry Shampoo Floral Essences
Celui ci est très agréable. Le parfum est un peu comme un citron et il reste frais pendant la journée. Comme tous les autres de Batiste, il laisse une couche blanche, mais ce n'est pas un problème avec les cheveux moins foncés.

I'll admit that my judgment is based only on two uses but I really didn't care for this enough to give it another go. I didn't like the smell it was giving off and the fact it didn't seem to be doing anything for protection throughout the day. I've only been using natural deodorants for the past few years, so maybe I'm just not used to new products now that I've gotten accustomed to my regular deodorant ? I'll suggest this one to my sister and see if she has any better luck than I did. -
Tarte Tarteist Creamy Matte Lip Paint Namaste

I don't like how this colour looks on me, but it's a great formula that applies evenly and comfortably. This doesn't dry out my lips and doesn't sink into lines. I think it would wear well for at least a few hours but I don't know for sure since I usually wipe it off before. The colour is just too unflattering on me so I end up taking it off. This might look better on lighter skin tones or those who really like a nude lip look. It's not for me though. -

This comes in a spray bottle with a decent amount of product, considering the price tag on this one. Like the other products in this line, this is pricier than the serums from The Ordinary line. Anyway, I thought I'd give this a try as it claims to control sebum and refine pores based on its plant-based formula. I figured this would be less likely to irritate skin since I was adding a quite a few new items to my regimen. Thankfully, I haven't experienced any irritation. I do feel some light stinging after I apply this and I've stopped using the spray because it is powerful and often gets into my eyes. I read another review that said it was better to spray this onto a cotton pad, so I've been doing that instead of spraying directly onto my face (and eyes). I'm not sure that it's done much for me because I do have less oil on my face but that could be due to the place I am in my cycle. I tend to get less oily anyway during these parts of my cycle. I've been using this for three weeks and I'm not sure if any changes are owing to the product, but my sister is using it too and she said it's working well for her. Everybody's skin is different and will respond differently, so maybe it's a case of that. -

It's been few years since I've used a solid deodorant like this. I had switched to natural non-aluminum options for a quite a while now, but I was glad to try this one because these options aren't always available with the well-known brands like Dove. True to other skin products by dove, this had a smooth and non-irritating feel to it. I thought the scent was quite pleasant as it smells nice but isn't overpowering. I don't like it when deodorants have a scent that follows you everywhere you go and you're reminded all day that this smell is coming from under your arms. This one is more subtle and smells fresh so I like that. Given that this doesn't have aluminum, I'll be inclined to recommend this to my sister and anyone else that want to use an effective deodorant that's better for the body. -

I like this scrub. I'm almost finished with my tube and probably won't buy another one, but only because I'm trying to stay away from scrubs now (I don't want anything too abrasive on my skin and am trying to avoid over-exfoliating). The scent is pleasant and what I like most is that it spreads comfortably on the skin and washes away easily. My skin doesn't feel tight or dried out afterwards, which is probably the dealbreaker for me when it comes to any kind of facial cleanser. -

This mascara got A LOT of praise and was proclaimed as the drugstore dupe for Better than Sex. It even has that similar rose gold packaging and large brush. There's countless comparison reviews/videos for that already, so I'll just talk about my own experience with this particular mascara. I think it's a decent mascara that adds a lot of instant volume but I think it has the best effect for people with large, thick, and long lashes. For my short, skimpy lashes, this wand was way too big and would deposit mascara in a way that would often lead to clumps and weighed down lashes. If I applied only a light single coat, then the lashes would look okay but that isn't how I like to wear mascara... With only one coat, my lashes are clump-free but it really doesn't even look like I'm wearing mascara at all. I wear mascara because I want longer, thicker lashes that are more defined and hold a curl. With one coat, I only get darker and defined lashes and they stick up rather than staying in the curled shape. I bought a couple tubes of this when they were on sale but I don't think I'll buy any more. I'll use the ones I have when I run out of other mascara and I need a new tube. -

I'm really unsure about this. I admittedly don't use this with enough regularity to comment about its true effectiveness but I have yet to notice any visible differences from using this. I've had this dropper bottle for about a year now and I go through bouts of using it every week, and then forgetting to reach for it because I don't find that it does anything for me. I have very oily skin and this is supposed to reduce sebum. I haven't noticed any change in that department. All around, it just feels like I'm slathering slime around my face for no reason. I'm still intrigued by these formulations so I'll keep using the rest of the product and keep my fingers crossed for some kind of redemption with this one. -
