I received this product as part of the Product Review Club in a set. My skin is oily and acne-prone, so it needs all the help it can get! This cleansing gel worked well in the evenings after an oil cleanser as part of my double cleansing routine. It smells great (but not very strong) and leaves my skin feeling very clean. I would not recommend this to anyone with dry skin since my skin felt a little tight afterwards. I personally would not use it in the mornings either but at night its fine since I layer my night serums and creams before bed. For the price, I am not sure if I would re-purchase if it wasn't on sale, since there are other cheaper cleansers that I would prefer before this one. Overall, it was unfortunately not an impressive line from Vichy (sorry!) -

I received this product as part of the product review club, and had high hopes for it. It has a decent list of ingredients but unfortunately the morning after I used this product, I had a terrible reaction. Both my cheeks, forehead and chin were covered in small red spots and felt itchy for days. I had to spend 4 evenings using both clay masks to purify my skin and then Korean sheet masks right after to moisturize and calm it down. I normally do not have sensitive skin to new products so this reaction surprised me... I am still not sure which ingredient aggravated it so much. For this reason, I would not recommend it. -

Love this new flavor! Different than the regular ginger ale but not too sweet. I haven't tried anything like this before and I love it! When served cold, it is super refreshing and goes very well with white wine or champagne as a spritzer. Would be great to serve at bridal showers with a few fresh blackberries ;)
I received this product as a free coupon from the ChickAdvisor Review Club, but I had already bought a box before!

NIVEA Essential Lip Balm
The name says it all: Essential. Nothing fancy about it, just super moisturizing and comfortable. I always have a tube around somewhere! Will repurchase forever! One of those life-long products.

Maybelline Volum' Express The Rocket Mascara

My favorite mascara ever! Better than many "luxury" brands I've tried. Brush is great, separates each lash and defines, while adding volume. Formula doesn't clump, lasts a long time but is easy to wash off at the end of the day. I've already re-purchased this, and will continue to do so! -
Benefit Cosmetics They're Real! Mascara
Not as good as I was expecting. The brush design is flawed... the ball of spikes at the end is supposed to be used for the entire corners or detail work but when the brush is removed from the tube, there is a glob of mascara that sits at the end... +
Not as good as I was expecting. The brush design is flawed... the ball of spikes at the end is supposed to be used for the entire corners or detail work but when the brush is removed from the tube, there is a glob of mascara that sits at the end. The bristles are very sharp and I poked my eye a couple of times during the learning curve :(
But my biggest issue is not the brush, but the formula. While it does separate my lashes well, it does not give enough volume and transfers onto my (oily) upper eyelids halfway through the day. When removing at night, you have to use an oil-based cleanser like you would for waterproof mascaras because this one is almost impossible to remove without it!
Not worth the almost $30 you pay for it at Shoppers or Sephora. Move along...

Bought this due to the hype around the product, and was very disappointed. It did nothing for my lashes the first time I used it (very thin and watery), then the next day it was super clumpy. Flaked off half way through my day... not impressed. I have tried many other drugstore mascaras that have worked 100x better! Spend your money elsewhere! -

Great flip flops, great price, everyone should just go and buy some! I always pick up one or two per season in the newest colors and they last a long time so I keep piling them up...
They are obviously not as fancy or durable or "stylish" as other flip flops out there, but when you spend just a few dollars on them it doesn't matter whether you forget them at the beach or not. They fit my feet well, just keep an eye out for manufacturing defects when purchasing.
I will keep buying these forever!

Dermalogica Daily Microfoliant

AMAZING STUFF! The first time I used it, it felt a bit weird because it comes as a powder and you have to wet it and rub in on your face that way. But afterwards, your skin feels amazing... baby smooth, clean, and yet not stripped of moisture. Definitely suitable for daily use, highly recommended. Only downside? The price, and difficulty in finding places to purchase it. -
