Face oil? I'm not sure why this is classed as a facial oil because it absolutely doesn't resemble an oil at all. For me this product it just ok, the packaging is really pretty but nothing overly exciting and especially not worth the $50 price tag. In my opinion it is more of a serum/moisturizer texture, definitely not oil, it has a whole lot of sparkles in it, they don't show up on your face but this could bother some people and it doesn't appear to have much of a scent. in regards to effectiveness, I don't really find it does much, doesn't really moisturize that well and it definitely don't find my face is more illuminated when using this. All in all i'll continue to use it until it's done however I would not repurchase this. -

Never tried anything from Elemis so was excited to try this when I got it in my Boxycharm... I often don't find masks that say they moisturize and soften your skin to really do anything that they claim but this one actually surprised me, it moisturized my skin and made my skin so so soft! It is of a thinner consistency and has as expected a very veggie smell to it which is ok for me, not my favorite but I can get over it. It dries down fully and it washes off really well, you get a good amount in the tube and should last for awhile if your not doing masks every day. I couldn't give it a full 5 star because of the price, it has a pretty hefty price tag for a mask in my opinion - at amount $50 CDN I think it's a bit high personally for any mask, for that reason I wouldn't repurchase but if it was on a great sale I would definitely pick it up. -

Wasn't sure what to expect with this product, but from using for about a month now, I've grown to really like it. It has a serum type texture to it, 1-2 pumps goes a long way depending on how much you need. Obviously by the name it has a watermelon scent to it, watermelon is not a smell or fruit I generally like however it is very subtle in this product that it doesn't bother me or my skin at all, definitely ok for people with sensitive skin. I find that it does a good job of moisturizing my dry skin and the one thing I've recently come to really like is using it as a serum under another moisturizer, it really provides extra moisture and give a really like dewy look. The only reason why I can't give it a full 5 stars is because of the price, it has a hefty price tag - at least here in Canada, at $50 CDN it would be out of my budget to purchase on a regular basis but if on sale, i think its definitely worth getting. -

Never tried Pixi product before this item, I can honestly say that i'm not sure why this is called "Skin Drink" because it does absolutely nothing in terms of hydrating your skin, at least not for me. The consistency is very gel like which is fine, when you put it on your face, it feels like it dissolves literally into water which is also fine however what I don't like is the feeling it leaves on my skin, my face feels very tacky and almost oily, not the way I imagine a hydrating product to fell. Also I can just feel this product sitting on my skin that at the end of the day I can't wait to take it off, forget wearing it under makeup. For me this is a definite no! -

I've been using this now everyday for a month since I received this in my Boxycharm, At first I wasn't quite sure about it but it's definitely grown on me, I like that it's a primer mixed with a skin care benefit in the essence. It's a think consistency and doesn't have any type of scent to it, so nice for people with sensitivities. You get a good amount and it lasts a long time depending on how much you use of it. Love that it makes my skin nice and hydrated and creates a nice base for my foundation. I think I will definitely repurchase this in the future. -

Very lucky to be chosen for the Neutrogena Rapid Wrinkle Repair campaign. I wasn't sure what to expect from this as I've never tried a retinol before. I like that the retinol is in the form of oil as I find this is a big gentler for my skin and for people that have sensitive skin. 4-5 drops is plenty to cover your entire face, there is a slight scent to it but not overly fragrant. I didn't experience any type of tingling or adverse reaction from the retinol oil.
I found that it left my skin nice and smooth and soft, I also found it provided a nice glow to my skin. I can't really speak to changing fine lines or wrinkles as I really don't have any however I did find it changes the texture of my skin, my face wasn't as red and just looks very youthful, I will continue to use this product as a preventative measure since I love the results so far.

Was very excited to be chosen to try NEUTROGENA® RAPID WRINKLE REPAIR Prep Cleanser from Chickadvisor for free. I had a really great experience with this product. The texture of this cleanser is very creamy and rich, it also has small exfoliating beads in the cleaner that provide a very gentle exfoliation. I love that the bottle is in pump form, so it is easy to distribute and apply, with one pump, it provides more than enough product to cleanse my face. I also find this product is a great value, you get a lot of product for the price you pay.
For me personally I cannot use the product everyday just because I have sensitive skin and too much exfoliation tighten's my skin and makes it feel dry. I use it approx 2-3 times a day depending and I have to say, it leaves my skin feeling super soft and smooth, and the exfoliation is very gentle so people that can use exfoliants every day probably wouldn't have a problem. All in all I would highly recommend this product to not only keep wrinkles at bay but also to provide a gentle exfoliation.

Received these in my recent BoxyCharm, always happy to receive wipes, I've never heard of this brand before so I was excited to try them. The quality of the wipes I have to say is one of the best I've seen, I think they describe them as "clothes" and that would be accurate because they really do feel like clothes, very thick which is nice, not thin and small like some others, and the size of the wipe is great also. They have a light fresh scent so people with sensitivities to scents should be OK with these. Best part is that they work amazingly, literally a few wipes and my makeup comes off so easily and they remove EVERYTHING. The only thing I have to knock them on is the price of these clothes, for a pack of 10 clothes they are $17 which in my opinion is INSANE, that is $1.70 per clothe, so they are definitely not cheap. I wouldn't purchase these, I try to stay away from wipes for environmental reasons and also the price is not realistic. -

Where to begin with this foundation, 1st let me just say this by far has to be the worst foundation I have tried hands down. I don't have very much luck with Tarte foundation so it's no surprise that this one didn't work, the formula is a whipped, mouse formula, it doesn't really have any kind of smell to it so probably good for sensitive skin. Were it goes really downhill, it says the coverage is NOT full coverage, I was lucky to get medium coverage with this and for some reason it would not stay on my nose. I didn't find it easy to blend out, and it does not sink into my skin, I just felt like I was smearing the foundation around my face. As soon as it goes on I can just see the dryness taking place, even with setting spray this foundation just looks sooo cakey and dry. Nothing blends well on top especially my concealer. It says that it lasts for 12 hours, this wasn't true for me, i'd be lucky to get 4 hours out of it, at the end of the day I just can't wait to take this foundation off my face, I can just feel it all day sitting on top of my skin. I should also mention that I've tried this a few times with the same base items (moisturizers, primers etc.) and I've never had a good result. -

Was lucky enough to receive this in my Boxycharm a few months ago. I was a bit nervous to try this out as I've tried other glam glow products that I wasn't crazy about but this has grown on my. It is VERY foamy but it is gentle on my skin, not drying at all like a lot of foaming cleansers. I warn you though that you literally only need a dime sized amount of this cleanser because it foams so well, this is nice because it makes the cleanser last for awhile. I've been using this every night since receiving it and I still have probably half of it left. I especially love using this at night after my cleansing balm to ensure that all my makeup is gone. I will say though at $37CDN it is on the very high end of expensive cleansers, for this reason I wouldn't purchase this, possibly I would if it was on sale but I don't think it does anything special to justify that price. -
