I was super excited to receive this product for free in exchange for an honest review. I've really been enjoying this product - it's definitely plumping up the area around this 55 year old's eyes, and it's super hydrating. The texture is a nice blend of serum and a light lotion too. I've tried it before bed with my regular routine and it's been great - but the true test was under foundation, and it passed with flying colours, no pilling, no breakdown just hydrated skin! I have tried the recommended application methods but did not find they made a great deal of difference as far as efficacy. Will I buy it again? It's pricy for sure, so I need to test it a little bit longer to make sure it's worth the spend. Also, as an aside this cream also smells good...my husband told me I smelled great before bed last night and that was the only change in my bedtime routine soooooooo take that as you will! -

I've used shampoo bars off and on over my life. I had to stop because of a sensitivity to SLS. I was super excited to be asked to try out this product because it's SLS free! First out of the box, it is definitely fairly strongly scented, but it's pleasant, and doesn't really stick around in your hair (but definitely does stick around in your bathroom). Lathers up well on very wet hair, which in my experience is pretty standard for shampoo bars. Rinses out very very easily, and didn't leave a residue at all. After my hair was quite soft and manageable - not fly away, easy to brush. I'll definitely give this one a go again! Now I just need to find a tin to put my bar in so it doesn't melt away in the shower! -
COVERGIRL Clean Fresh Weightless Water Cream™
At first I was doubtful that this would work for me. I'm 53, I have dry skin and it's winter. I figured it would be too lightweight to make a difference - but I was mistaken! This stuff holds up! Now I'm not sure if it hits that 72 hour claim... +
At first I was doubtful that this would work for me. I'm 53, I have dry skin and it's winter. I figured it would be too lightweight to make a difference - but I was mistaken! This stuff holds up! Now I'm not sure if it hits that 72 hour claim for me (because again it's winter and I have dry skin) but it definitely absorbs quickly, makes my skin feel amazing, and is not overly scented. I'd love to be able to test it out for a longer period to make sure it didn't cause any reaction but this review is based on a small sample sachet, so I'm going to put it in my maybe pile for my next moisturizer purchase. -

I received this as part of the Chick Adviser Product Review club 3 days ago - and I have to say I think it's actually making a difference in the lines on my forehead and between my eyes (my squinty lines) in that short of a time. I'm going to keep using it but so far so good. I mean I'm not expecting them to disappear, but it's definitely minimized things!
I also have super sensitive skin and haven't had an issue with it. It's not strongly scented either - all pluses in my book!

I purchased this eye shadow in Bella Teal and I love the colour. It does go on relatively sheer - it works better over a primer and needs to be packed on a bit but the colour is very pretty and the texture smooth. The price is really good for the quality, and I would likely buy colours from this line. -
Maybelline New York Dream Lumi Touch Highlighting Concealer
I use this in Radiant #310 to cover my under eye circles and high light the tops of my cheekbones and under my eyebrows and it's amazing. It doesn't go on super thick, and gives me just a hint of shimmer, nothing super shiny. I'm in my 40s, and it... +
I use this in Radiant #310 to cover my under eye circles and high light the tops of my cheekbones and under my eyebrows and it's amazing. It doesn't go on super thick, and gives me just a hint of shimmer, nothing super shiny. I'm in my 40s, and it doesn't get all crepey or icky on my under eye skin either, it smoothes on. On my third one already - love it, please never discontinue it! -

Milani makes some really good, really inexpensive beauty products. I've used their eye shadows quite happily for a few years, they are super pigmented and easy to apply so I decided to take a chance on their pot eyeliner in Black Gold Foil - I'm glad I did. While there is a bit of smudging if you're not careful in application, it comes with a decent liner brush and goes on smoothly. I don't see much of the foil effect in the black - but I loved it so much I went out and bought the Purple Foil and the Brown Foil too! The Brown Foil definitely has a bit more shimmer, and the purple as well, tho I find the colour not as pigmented. Still, you can't beat the price, and the quality is quite good. -

I got the little pencil sampler as my birthday gift from Sephora in 2015 and I am in love with Cruella. As a redhead trying to find the perfect colour red is really hard, and this one earns me more compliments about it being the perfect colour for me than any other! I also love the formula - it goes on smoothly and then dries to a kissproof matte. I'm not crazy about having to spend $32 on a lip pencil, but I love this one so I will! -
Too Faced Better Than Sex Mascara
I love this mascara! I have short eye lashes and my eyes disappear without mascara. This stuff, makes my lashes pop, glides on and lasts all day. It's my holy grail!
