1. Which cleaning jobs did you use to test this product?
I used Vim Cream to clean my stainless steel kitchen sink, my bathroom, my porcelain tub and sink. I even tried it out on a pair of dirty old running shoes just to see what the result would be :)
2. How satisfied/unsatisfied were you with the results?
I was very pleased with the overall cleaning results. It took very little effort to remove stains in the tub and sink, and the old white runner have a new life (although it didn't take the worn in stains out completely)
3. How did you like the product itself (texture, scent, compare to other brands, etc)?
The texture was perfect for kitchen and bathroom cleaning jobs! It allowed me to clean stuck on stains with very little effort. The scent was clean and fresh and wasn't too strong or chemical smelling.
4. Would you buy this again and/or recommend to a friend?
I would definitely recommend this product to my friends and relatives, and would definitely buy it again!

Maybelline New York Dream Matte Mousse Foundation
I don't care what anyone else thinks about this foundation - I LOVE IT!!! Smell - Next to none :) That's what I like! Texture - Literally feels like mousse! it is sooo light and fluffy...I didn't think something that light and fluffy... +
I don't care what anyone else thinks about this foundation - I LOVE IT!!!
Smell - Next to none :) That's what I like!
Texture - Literally feels like mousse! it is sooo light and fluffy...I didn't think something that light and fluffy would cover anything on my face...but I was very wrong! I don't even have to use concealer because it gives me an amazing coverage and doesn't even feel like I am wearing anything at all! If you have large pores however, I wouldn't recommend using this product as it sits in the holes and kind of emphasises them :( I wouldn't use it on super dry/flaky skin either because it also brings out the dryness of your face :(
Packaging - I love that it comes in a pot. You can apply it with your fingers, a sponge, or dab your foundation brush right into the pot!
Overall rating - I'm hooked! I love how amazing it feels on my skin and I hope that they come out with a few darker shades that aren't as pink for my pro makeup kit!

As a makeup artist trying to find the perfect foundation for the 2010 wedding season...I was on the fence about this foundation...
Smell - Not a strong smell, which is great cuz my pet peeve is smelly foundation (makes me think the manufaturer is trying to hide something)
Texture - I personally prefer a tad bit thicker liquid foundation, but it's great for people who want a very light feeling foundation that also covers most small imperfections. I would not recommend this product for women with very oily skin, as it doesn't help prevent oily/shine control throughout the day.
Packaging - LOVE LOVE LOVE! One pump is all you need for a sheer finish, two pumps for a full coverage (three pumps for drag queen coverage...just kidding) Only thing I didn't like is that the lid comes off very easily :( Maybe it's just the one I got though, who knows.
Overall rating - Having used an actual airbrush system, I don't think they should have included on the bottle that you get an "airbrush finish" - because you don't! It is a nice foundation for the price though. Hopefully they come out with that perfect bridal foundation I am still seaching for...sigh.

Let me just start by saying I LOVE GARNIER!
I'm hooked. I have sooo many face products and have finally realized that all I really need to keep my skin happy is Garnier face cleansers and creams.
Their bright greem packaging is so pleasant and cheery too, it makes morning face washing and prepping more fun!
Smell - Very light and fresh smelling, which is good since you're putting this stuff close to your peepers...too much scent always irritates my eyes.
Texture - Very light weight and soaks into the skin almost instantly. It's non greasy and feels great under the eyes
Packaging - Typical cream packaging for Garnier. It's good cuz it lets you take just the right amount onto your fingertip!
Effectiveness - I wouldn't go as far to say that I actually noticed a dramatic different in the way my undereyes look. But they do seem more hydrated and not as wrinkly since I am giving my skin the moisture it needs for this very sensitive area.
Use it with the Garnier Skin Renew Scrubber and Skin Renew Moisture Cream! It's a trio you'll soon be addicted to!

I received this ( unexpectedly) with the Garnier Skin Renew Brusher from the Product Review Club and I was so happy...I love surprises!!!
Smell - This cream is so fresh smelling, it helps wake me up in the morning and put me in a good mood!
Texture - Not too think, not too watery. It's great and you don't need to use a lot to get the moisture your face needs before taking on the day.
Packaging - Typical face cream packaging, which is great cuz I love the jar vs. the bottle for this kinda thing.
Overall rating - Put it on after using the Scrubber and you have a match made in heaven! This duo of cleanser and moisture cream leaves my face feeling clean, quenched and feeling fresh all day long!

I was chosen to review the Garnier Skin Renew Brusher and was super excited when I received it along with an unexpected extra goodie - The Garnier Skin Renew moisture cream!!!
The Brusher is great because it exfoliates as well as cleanses and removes most makeup with the exception of mascara and water proof products.
You need very little of the cleanser, which I wasn't expecting my first try! I used a bit too much and found that it took for ever to rinse off my face.
Smell - It smells great! very fresh and light, makes you feel nice and clean when you're done!
Texture - This is definitely a compliment when I say it kind of has the same texture and thickness as palmolive dish soap. It stays on and works itself into a nice lather and you can really feel it working after the first trial.
Packaging - This is the greatest invention for the lazy gal who hates washing her face and exfoliating (aka me). I bring it into the shower and it actually makes face washing a fun experience!
A tip from me to you - After squeezing out a pea size amount of the cleanser, make sure to screw the cap back to the closed position so that when you are washing you don't accidentally squeeze out more, or get your dirty soap backwashed into the bottle :)
Overall Rating - I can't wait to wash my face again!!!

I received a coupon for a free bottle of this product as a part of the Product Review Club and was shocked when I found out how much this lotion would have cost me if I had to purchase it! $10.50 at most Drug Stores is a bit steep if you ask me, especially if you're used to buying Vaseline Brand products for a fraction of the cost. Once I tried the lotion though, I fell in love! This stuff is amazing and kept my dry skin hydrated and not the least bit greasy for the entire day! I chose the Vitamin Lotion, but there is also a Botanical as well as a Mineral lotion you can choose from.
The smell was fresh and very subtle and the texture of the lotion was super soft and not the least bit greasy!
It melted right into my skin and kept the moisture "locked" in for the entire day. I would definitely recommend this product to people in search of an effective skin moisturizer.

I received this product from the Product Review Club and was pleased to see it came with a bunch to give to friends/family just in time for the Holidays!
This product goes on so smooth and you can barely tell you have it on. It has little/no smell which is great and you can almost instantly notice a difference in the look and feel of your lips! I also used it a few times under my lipstick and it helped keep my lips protected and made the lipstick last longer.
I would definitely use this product again, and I'm sure my friends and family members who received this as a stocking stuffer would agree!
Definitely a great buy :)

Other than that it's an affordable, great smelling product that I would recommend!

Made off 100% High quality goat hair, this retractable blush brush is a great item to have for your makeup bag! You can bring it with you and not have to worry about the bristles getting bent or pulled out (not to mention making a huge powdery mess inside your makeup bag!). It's super soft and even though it's technically a blush brush, you can definitely get away with using it for powders and bronzers too! -
