Simple Kind To Skin Cleansing Facial Wipes
I've used the simple cleansing wipes before and they're good for the drug store! I'm not partial to the scent but they're good for the drug store. I don't have particularly sensitive skin, but it doesn't irritate at all!

Thanks to the Chick Advisor Review Club for letting me try this out!
All in all, I think it's a great daily option. It's a pretty watery consistency and has a light scent (sort of smells like men's cologne a bit? I didn't mind it at all). I could feel it cleansing without striping my skin of any moisture which was a great feeling (I did not feel any tightening of my skin). I've used acne treatments in the past which completely dry out your skin, but this cleanser didn't do this at all. With this being said though, I don't think it provided a deep cleanse of my skin. I have massive blackheads and pores and only really felt a surface cleanse.

I feel the name of this is quite misleading. I would definitely not consider this a lotion at all as it's a liquid. I haven't used very many toners before, but I liked this one. I used my regular cotton pads to distribute it to my face. I noticed there was a strong scent of alcohol but this didn't really bother me. Something I can compare the toner soaked cotton pad to is those OXY acne skin care pads that I used to use as a teen. The toner was quite strong, but it did give that extra layer of clean to my skin. I would continue to use this, but I'm not sure if I would repurchase.

I received this product for free from the ChickAdvisor Showcase.
This hairspray hits an interesting market. I feel like a lot of issues with hairspray stem from it looking too 'crunchy'. This hairspray does not have that problem. It's supposed to be used as a light hold with the ability for you to comb through your hair after spraying. I think it works great for this but if you have quite a few flyaway this wouldn't really provide a strong hold.
I would definitely recommend for everyday use!

Thanks to the Chick Advisor Review Club for letting me try this out!
The Luxe line is presented in in a similar tube to a lipstick with also a similarly shaped bullet. In terms of effectiveness I would say it was alright. Nothing amazing, but at the same time not terrible either. I like the tube shape and the bullet as it made it very easy to apply. I have very very dry lips so I would need to apply this multiple times a day or my lips would start to majorly flake. For the price though, it's great to have in your purse as a backup!

Hmmm....I wonder what these little things were based on? Perhaps EOS? Just a wild guess there. ;) As with EOS, I find that these cubes are easy to take on the go. They don't fit as well in a makeup bag as other balms, but they're still easy to throw in a purse. I also really like the clear design, as it makes them look like little ice cubes! This is a great drugstore option for a lip balm. I have really dry lips, and would need to reapply this multiple times during the day. Even so, it felt comfortable on the lips and definitely had decent moisturizing properties!

I have to say this is a really solid moisturizer. It has almost a gel consistency which means that it soaks into the skin quickly with great moisturizing benefits. I can definitely see myself using this as a daily moisturizer. Two major cons for me about this product is that it does not have SPF and I'm not too partial about the smell. It's not completely overwhelming, but I don't really like it. Simple Skincare products aren't scented, but I think they almost has a plastic-y smelling tinge to it. As I said though, the smell isn't bad enough for me not to want to use it! -

I liked this product! I felt that it did exactly what it said it would do. I usually used this right after I used a makeup wipe and I would see some reside left over on the cotton pad (yuck!). Like the moisturizer though, I noticed that I had some issues with the scent. Other than the scent though, this product worked like a charm!

I have tried Simple wipes before, but not the Micellar ones. I try a lot of wipes and I would say that these wipes are just okay. They definitely did the job, but I notice, like the regular Simple wipes, they just are not saturated enough. I obviously don't mean they have to be dripping, but they just feel drier than other wipes I've tried. The smell sort of bothered me. In terms of their performance though, I would say they are middle of the road. I used micellar water after using these wipes and I could see some residue on my cotton pad. This is to be expected with all wipes though, so I don't necessarily think these wipes are any worse!

Batiste Dry Shampoo Original Clean & Classic
I love my dry shampoos and Batiste is one of the best. It's the only one that I feel really soaks up the oils instead of just masking it. It's one of the best dry shampoos i've tried! I do have to say I'm not totally in love with the scent as I... +

I do have to say I'm not totally in love with the scent as I feel it's a bit chemically. This definitely does not weigh on my decision to purchase it again though!
