I received this product for free in order to test it out and share my results. I have to admit that I was not really expecting to see any results, especially in the short amount of time that I've had the product. To my delight and surprise I DO see results! After using the products day and night for a week I definitely see clearer, smoother, and a more even skin tone. I still have some pigmentation issues but I assume it would take more time to really help with those issues but my skin is definitely looking clearer and brighter so I am very happy!
I love that this product does not contain any Hydroquinone and uses ingredients that do not irritate my sensitive skin. I was actually anticipating that this product would cause some irritation as my skin is sensitive and also dehydrated and acne-prone, but I was so happy that it didn't cause any stinging or irritation whatsoever. Although my skin is dehydrated, it is also combination/oily and I did find that I wanted to apply a moisturizer over this. I think if you have oily skin you may not even need a moisturizer as it did not leave my skin dry but I prefer my skin to be very moisturized to the point that it is left dewy.
I just wish that the product had a little more in terms of instructions of use. Since it's a treatment should it be applied to dry skin vs. damp? After application, should you wait some time before applying your moisturizer of choice? I like to know details like this when it comes to my skin care as I do layer a number of products and some are to be applied to dry skin and others work better applied to damp skin.
All in all, I am VERY pleasantly surprised by the results so far and I look forward to seeing the results after finishing the whole tube!
Thank you Vichy and Chickadvisor for this opportunity!

I have the new Argan wear blush in the rose colour. It has become one of my holy grail blushes. I must admit that all of my Physcicians Formula blushes are kinda holy grail to me. I would definitely replace them all if I lost them! The Argan blush is smooth and creamy, nicely pigmented and wears for most of the day. The colour itself is gorgeous, that is, once you brush off the slightly annoying gold overspray ;) -

I received a sample of this product to try for free in exchange for my honest review. I have to say that I am thoroughly impressed! I had previously tried two other similar products and in my opinion the Batiste Dry Shampoo is much superior. It quickly absorbs oils, doesn't leave any sticky residue (unlike another dry shampoo I tried), and leaves a really nice fresh scent- which is awesome since my hair seems to absorb every scent I pass by, leaving it tough for me to skip another day of shampooing! This brings up another bonus- by skipping another day of shampooing, I am skipping another day of applying heat to my hair since I have to blow dry and touch up with a heat appliance. The product comes out a white colour but I find once I massage it in to absorb the oils there is no white cast. On the other hand, since I am blonde, when my roots come in I could use this to hide my roots a bit by doing less massaging and applying a little extra product.
I also used this product in another way; on freshly washed and styled hair and I found it gave my style new life with more body and made it seem more salon like. As if maybe my products were weighing down my style and this removed the excess product and made my hair lighter and bouncier! I like this product equally for this use and for use on dirty hair when you just don't have the time or energy to wash and style!! Love it!
I am really please with this products performance and out of the 3 dry shampoos I have tried so far, I give this one top marks!

stila cosmetics Smudge Stick Waterproof Eye Liner in Damsel
I love this eye liner! It's a nice option when you don't want to wear black, as it's a nice dark brown. It applies easily and stays on my lids that tend to get oily. It's also great to use in the waterline!

Burt's Bees Beeswax Lip Balm with Vitamin-E & Peppermint
I always come back to this. Although I tend to rotate my lip products and like to try new ones, I always seem to come back to this. Even my other half goes back to this one as well!

My all-time favorite powder (now that I'm getting older) is the Doris Dalton Mirage Blending Powder. It's a very finely milled loose face powder. It is translucent and good for all skin tones. My true test of makeup and face powders is to go out in day light and look into a mirror, checking for pores and all the other things you can't always see with indoor lighting. Let me tell you, this passes my test with flying colours! It blended my makeup, made my sking look more even, and pores... gone. And did I mention it didn't settle into my fine lines?! One day I tried a new mineral powder, did the daylight/mirror test, it was horrible, I looked greasy and saw huge pores (note: none of this was apparent in the regular bathroom lighting). So I put the Mirage blending powder right over top, did the daylight test and pores were gone. I love this stuff! -
