I was excited to give this product a try as I have heard about the many benefits of using face oils.
The product I found took a little bit to fully absorb into the skin so left my face feeling slightly oily for a small amount of time. However once absorbed my skin was smooth and hydrated feeling.
I found that this product was a bit too heavy to use in the morning and I did not like the feel of it under my make up. So I continued only using it as a night time treatment which worked out great for me.
Paired with the oil cleanser this product left my skin feeling amazing and the softest it has ever been. I had worried that it would clog my pores and cause some breakouts but it never did.
I would definitely recommend this product to family and friends!

I was excited to try this product as I have been hearing a lot about face oils and the benefits of using them. I have to say the first time I used it I was a little leery of how well an oil could work at removing make up and leaving your face feeling clean.
I have to say I was very surprised at just how well it does work. It quite easily removed my eye make up including mascara without the use of an eye make up remover first. I never had any problems with getting any product in my eye and irritating them.
The product left my skin feeling very soft and not dried out at all. This was a huge benefit as I find most cleanser leave my skin feeling tight and very dry after use. The smoothness of my skin was amazing.
I will definitely be buying this product and am already recommending it to all my family and friends!

I have to say I was very excited to try out this product. However I was left somewhat underwhelmed and disappointed.
Initially I found that the blender make my foundation too heavy, so as suggested the next time I tried wetting the blender slightly for a lighter finish. The product did go on lighter. I did like that the shape of the blender and that the tip allowed for more precision application.
I find that the additional effort of using the blender is not worth the finished result. I find that my fingers have more control and are quicker at applying the foundation. I also found that as the handle was so short that my hand would be cramped by the time I was finished applying the make up.
Also, some product is wasted as it is absorbed into the blender.
I would not recommend this product and will not be purchasing it again.

I received this product for free as part of the ChickAdvisor Product Review Club and overall I have to say that this is a great product and one that I would consider purchasing and using again.
From first appearance, as it as a mousse like consistency, I thought that this product was going to be much too thick and feel heavy on my skin. This however was not the case at all.
The foundation went on smoothly and spread easily. It has this great velvety soft texture that made my skin feel great once on my face. It had a good coverage level while not being cake or heavy.
I liked the matte finish and my make up stayed put all day long. It also did not dry out my skin the way some other products have.
I will definitely be purchasing this product again once I run out of foundation. I will definitely be recommending this foundation to my friends and family!

I really like the way the mascara adds volume and lift to my lashes. I however find that the brush could have been developed better to add even more separation and volume to the lashes when applying.
The mascara is easily removed at the end of the day which is important as I do not want to spend a great deal of time trying to remove my make up.
I will continue to use this product unless I find something with a better brush with a formula that works just as well.

I wanted to try this product as there is a lot of hype around it. I was disappointed.
I find the shape awkward unless you're carrying around a purse (certainly can't keep it in your pocket). In that sense I do not find it very practical.
I also find it somewhat messy to put on as the exposed area is quite large (definitely larger than my lips) and I often get it above my lip. This becomes more of a problem as you use up the balm.
The balm does so on smooth and silky and feels good, but I did not find that it helped moisturize my chapped lips.

I have used the First Response Digital Ovulation Test probably at least 6 times. My husband and I have been trying to conceive for approximately 18 months now. Close to a year in to trying I started using this product to help with the timing. The product is very easy and straightforward to use. I had no difficulty in using it and ovulation was confirmed by my temperature elevation. I have also used this product once while also seeing a fertility specialist and this product detected my surge and it was verified by my blood work at the fertility clinic the same day. While I haven't yet had luck conceiving with the aid of this product it does provide accurate results and will assist you with timing intercourse for your best chances of getting pregnant. -

I was super excited to receive this product for free to review from ChickAdvisor.
I am obsessed with well defined brows and couldn’t wait to try this product.
The GOSH Defining Brow Gel was easy to use – I love the simple wand applicator! I was a little skeptical at first about the colour the product appears to be when you open it up. However, once on you couldn’t see the reddish tinge that the product has but left my brows slightly darker and more defined. I was worried that it would look like I had product on my brows but you cannot tell. The products helps stray brow hairs stay in place. If you do get a little of the product on your skin it is very easy to remove.
I’ve used this product for several weeks now and the wand it still in perfect condition as when I first opened the product. The product is fluid enough that there are no clumps but not so runny that it makes it hard or messy to apply.
This is by far my favourite GOSH product yet. I will definitely be purchasing it in the future and am recommending it to every friend/family member I talk to right now!

I was super excited to receive this product for free to review from ChickAdvisor.
I use mineral powder on a daily basis to finish my make up off however I found that the GOSH mineral powder was too heavy and left my face feeling like I had a pile of make up on it. I found that the product was not translucent enough. I found that the container it came in was a little messy. There was either too much or too little powder.
I would not purchase this product again or recommend it to a friend.

I was super excited to receive this product for free to review from ChickAdvisor.
I had high hopes for this mascara and unfortunately it fell short of my expectations. After several uses I found that the wand became caked with mascara which caused small clumps to attach to my lashes. Also as on a daily basis I only wear mascara on my top lashes, I found that it was a waste of mascara to have the two sides of equal size. It would be better if the upper lash applicator had more mascara in it than the bottom lash side. As the wand itself was very straight I found that it was not very precise and I was more likely to get mascara on my skin during application.
I’ve definitely used better mascaras before and will revert back to them rather than purchasing this particular one in the future. I haven’t recommended this to any friends as I think there are superior products out there.
