First, I love the gorgeous pink packaging. There is a seal under the lid which is very handy for keeping the product fresh and free from any contamination. However, the pros stop here. I was hoping the texture of this would be more like a gel but it was straight up cream. Upon application, (and I used very little!) it balled up on my skin and didn't absorb really well. It is also heavily fragranced which bothered me. The effects of the "bright boost" only last for as long as the product is on your skin due to the shimmer particles that are in it.
It is also pretty pricey for a drug store brand so sadly I will give this one a pass.

Regular exfoliating is a must in my skin care regime and I am always on the hunt for a good exfoliator. I was so happy to see that this product contains glycolic acid and mandelic acid - both which are extremely beneficial for your skin. My skin had been feeling extremely dull and needed reviving so I tested this out twice a week. I began to see results after one week. When I say my skin glowed, I mean it GLOWED. It literally sloughed off all the dead skin and rough texture from my face. It is gritty and goes on creamy so make sure to wash your face with a cleanser and remove all makeup before using this. I will be running, not walking, to the store to buy this once it runs out. Ladies, give this a chance!

I haven't had much luck with dry shampoo sprays in the past so I was really excited to try this. I was sent the coconut one to try and was very surprised by how good and natural it smelled as I was expecting a very artificial coconut scent. Second, the consistency was nice, thick and foamy which made it very easy to work into my scalp and hair. I was worried about residue but this left absolutely none behind whatsoever! Also it dried down completely within seconds and gave my hair that 'just washed' look. I will never use a dry shampoo spray ever again!
I am docking some points because 1) it's a bit pricey and 2) you do need to use quite a bit of product so one container isn't gonna last very long especially if you have thick hair.

I was beyond thrilled when Chickadvisor gave me the opportunity to try this for free. My family and I have enjoyed Canada Dry Ginger Ale for many years so when I heard they were releasing a lemonade flavoured one, I knew I had to try it! First, the packaging is super cute and attractive. It reminds me of wooden crates that were used back in the day to pack lemons at lemon groves in Italy. Second, there is a good balance of lemon flavour to complement the ginger. Having said that, I did find it to be a tad too sweet for my liking but it was not a deal breaker for me. Best enjoyed cold, I found myself reaching for this often on hot days to quench my thirst. I really hope this is not a limited edition flavour and that it will be here to stay permanently. #gotitfree -

When I first learned that these were high shine lip colours, I was prepared to hate them but they surprised me. The wand was a bit hard to take out of the tube and it picked up too much product. The application was a bit messy...I had to go around the outline of my lips with a makeup wipe to remove any excess. Overall, I loved the Italian Rose shade on me but alas, it is not transfer-proof (or kissproof, if you like!) so this makes it somewhat difficult for me to justify the price point. I didn't feel any plumping effect so I'm not so sure about that claim. Buy it for long lasting colour but not for the other things it claims to do. #BobbiBrownLuxeLips -

I was given the shade 02 Rose and found it to be very hard to apply and show up on my skin. Then, I realized I was not applying it properly and tried using my fingers to tap the colour on to my cheeks. It looked amazing and gave my face a gorgeous rosy flush of colour. Can highly recommend this as long as you are using the proper application technique. #nbntouchofglow -

This is a very fluffy brush for an all-over face powder application. It's quite big and picks up a lot of powder, so you'll have to tap the excess off before you apply the powder to your face. It applies the powder evenly and doesn't leave any harsh streaks/lines. It's a bit pricy compared to competitive brands though. #nbnnaturalglow -

When I first applied this to my skin, I was stunned by the sunkissed glow it gave me. I have never used a bronzer before buy this has converted me. Loved the way it warmed up and enhanced my makeup look. #nbnnaturalglow
