Maybelline New York Expertwear Eyeshadow Trio in Impeccable Greys

I agree with some of the reviewers about the staying power. I cannot wear this without a eye shadow primer at all, otherwise it becomes a greasy mess on my eyelids by mid-afternoon.
The pigmentation of these shadows was ok, good for creating a smokey eye. I don't think I would purchase this product only because I really do prefer eye shadows with better staying power.

This is the first product I have ever tried from Lise Watier, and I must say I am quite impressed. This is a great lotion for those who need intensive moisture during the dry winter months; without the greasyness that comes with heavy creams!
At first when I spread the lotion on there was a little bit of a greasy feel to it, but within minutes it went away. The lotion penetrated really well through the top layer of my skin, leaving it really soft.
I totally did not expect the product to have this citrusy smell. At first I was a little turned off by it, but over time I got used to it. The smell fades away quite fast anyway.
I cannot say I would purchase the product. It is more on the expensive side... and I feel that there are more lotions out there that do the same job without the higher price. Still this is a nice luxury product if you want to treat yourself.

I saw this movie tonight and I am absolutely in love with it! This is the best movie I have seen in quite some time!
I personally thought the movie had a little bit of something for everyone; romance, action, violence, comedy all rolled into one amazing film told through flashbacks and memories. This is a love story; uniquely told and I was truly impressed!
As Mamaluv mentioned, Dev Patel gave a stellar performance and also did steal my heart away but the child actors in the movie were great as well and just so damn cute.
I definitely will be seeing this again.

After using many higher end brands of eye shadow, I have found it really difficult to go back to drug store brands. But after receiving this in the swag, I think I am going to get more drug store brand shadows.
I am quite impressed with the colour pay-off. The purple colour came out rich and bright -- just the way I like my eye shadows. The consistency was also really good to work with. It went on my skin smoothly and blended quite well with my other eye shadows.
The shadow did crease on my eyes a little bit. It also faded slightly throughout the day and I had to touch it up once. Although I love the colour, this is definitely a shadow that cannot go without a primer underneath. Prime your eyelids, ladies! It does make all the difference :)
I also would prefer if the packaging was a little more sturdy.
Overall I am quite pleased with this eye shadow and colour. Next time I am in a drug store I will look into the other colour selection. This is a great drug store brand eyeshadow, definitely also great for those who want to look good; but also save a little money.

I received this product to test out from the Shopaholic Movie Night Swag Bags.
First off, I really like the packaging. I have tried lip glosses like this before where you turn the dial to push the product out of the tube. I like how the tip is plastic and not a sponge (often the sponge tip applicators will absorb too much of the gloss itself). The great thing is that you can push out as much lip gloss as you need.
The Champagne Fizz colour is definitely pretty and also neutral. It can suit a variety of skin tones. But just a word of warning, I found this gloss to be REALLY sparkly (it sure lives up to its name). Some of the chunks of glitter are definitely larger than what I am used to (and there are lots of them!) so you may want to put it on with a light application during the day.
The product also has a pleasant smell but no taste whatsoever. This I definitely like!
I will consider this gloss next time I am in search of a new one. I also plan to scope out some of their other colours to see what they are like.

This product is great and I am quite impressed. I had the opportunity to try out 3 samples in the swag from the Shopaholic Movie Night.
I have never tried a face resurfacer before, and it is quite similar to a exfoliant, except the product comes on a textured pad that you rub onto your face.
What baffled me was that you do not rinse the product off. Instead, you leave it on and it does the work itself!
After a few days of using this product, I noticed that my skin looked clearer and felt softer. My pores are now more cleared of junk, leaving my skin glowing more than before.
I am not sure the exact cost of the product, but it is definitely a higher end product.
Overall I really like this and I am interested in trying out more products from the Dermalogica line!

I have to agree with some of the over reviewers when I say that this mascara lacks volume. The length I definitely got; it stretched out my eye lashes a far bit. But as a result, it gave me those long, dreaded "spider lashes".
The packaging is definitely really cute and small (takes up far less space than my Covergirl LashBlast!) But the product inside the bottle is really what counts. This one didn't do it for me.

I have been using this toner for several days now and I really like it for many reasons. First off, it comes in a spray bottle so you do not need a cotton pad. It makes your skin feel refreshed without over-drying it, like most toners do! It also leaves my skin really soft and smooth. I am definitely a fan!
My only warning is be careful when you spray this. It can sting A LOT if it gets into your eyes! I blot my eyelids after with tissue to prevent it from running into them.
Overall this is a great product. I am quite impressed with Dermalogica.

I received this product as a part of the swag from the Shopaholic movie night.
I am really impressed with this product. Other exfoliating products I have tried have either been too harsh or drying. This one was perfect!
It comes in powder form, and at first glance looks similar to talcum powder. You mix it with a little water to form a paste and then massage it into your face for one minute.
After using this for a few days, my skin feels smoother and softer, and I have a nice "glow" from all the exfoliating!
I am going to continue to keep using this product until it runs out, however I am not sure if I will buy it. It is really expensive, more than I've never paid for a microexfoliant and I would like to see what it does for my skin in the long term.

I am happy to hear that the mascara worked for you ladies!
However, when I first bought the mascara, the brush part of the wand didn't even come out of the tube! Yes... that is right. It got stuck and fell right off!
Needless to say, I brought it back to the store. The cosmetician asked me if I just wanted to exchange it for a different one. I didn't ... over fear of disappointment that the next one would be defective as well.
After this experience... I don't think that I will try it again :(
