I received this product from Neutrogena and Chickadvisor in return for an honest review. I will have to update my review again after the deadline as I received it the day before the review is due.
I really enjoy the texture of this moisturizer - it’s definitely more of a gel than a cream, and absorbs really nicely without leaving a greasy feeling. The texture is similar to the Jergens in-shower/wet skin moisturizer. It is scented, but not terribly strong and is mild enough for my sensitive skin.

I made the mistake of buying this when I first started making espresso at home, however I use the Medium Roast instead of dark. The mistake was starting with this - it’s so delicious that nothing else compares. I find the dark roast to be a bit too bitter for me, but everyone I know adores it; I just prefer the medium roast for my morning latte. If you ever see this on sale (I’ll occassinally see it for $14 at the grocery store), STOCK UP!! -

This is absolutely incredible!!!!! I had stopped using toner in my teens when I started to get a reaction to using Clinique toners. Occatsionally over the last 20 years I’d try different high end toners (Clarins, Shiseido, etc) and they would either bother my skin or I just wouldn’t notice a difference. This toner has helped keep my face from drying out in the winter months, and I’ve not has a single sensitivity to it. I follow it with the Muji Moisterizing Cream for Sensitive Skin and it works just as well as the $160 face cream I used to use for a fraction of the price. I was skeptical at first, but pleasantly surprised with how well Muji’s skincare works. -

This reed difuser is more expensive than any other room fragrances I’ve ever purchased, but I wanted to treat myself. I usually use the Graprefruit scent, and it fills my entire large one bedroom with fragrance in no time at all. Personally, I find it almost too powerful, so I only leave it open and with reeds for a couple hours then close the top and put away the reeds for a few days - using it this way has lasted me nearly a year, of course it won’t last that long if you like to keep it out all the time.
I think these sets would make for a wonderful gift for someone or yourself.

This Tarte mascara is my current favourite. So much more effective then another Tarte mascara I’ve used. I like this one so much that I’ve bought a backstock to keep me supplied for a year. I prefer it to the Dior and Lancôme mascaras I’ve loved in the past. -
tarte cosmetics Lights, Camera, Lashes Mascara
I LOVE Tarte cosmetics, so on one of my last online orders from them, I added this mascara to my cart since I had already tried the Maneater mascara. I did NOT like this mascara. I found it lumpy and clumsy and it dried out incredibly fast.

It terrible at remembering to take off my makeu at night, and usually rely on makeup remover wipes. I wanted to try something a little more environmentally friendly and this micellar water was on sale so I decided to give it a try. It worked great! It easily took off my day’s makeup without any rubbing and it was GE the enough for my super sensitive skin. -

I feel like I’ve been searching forever for an antiperspirant that works well and lasts the whole day. This one works!! The downfall? It’s too strong a formula - I can only use this antiperspirant two or three times a week, and NEVER after shaving because, especially if used after shaving, I’m left with a terrible rash that almost looks like a chemical burn. I have relatively sensitive skin, so I don’t expect this would be the case for everyone.
If you have don’t have sensitive skin, you may be fine with this product, but if your skin is sensitive and you’re always sweaty, give this a try maybe once or twice a week and use a milder formula on other days - you’ll still see a difference.

This is the only hand soap I use in both my bathroom and kitchen. I have to be careful with fragrances as I tend to get headaches quite easily, so I tend to pick the fruit or berry scents as they seem to be a bit milder than the sweeter baked good scents or mixed scents (for example, Winter, Frozen Lake, Snow Capped Mountain, etc).
These foam soaps also seem to be pretty mild on my sensitive skin that gets incredibly dry and cracked during the colder months, which can’t be said for many hand soaps.

Mackage ARO Jacquard Scarf
I purchased this scarf for $95 and feel a bit underwhelmed. While it is a nice scarf to look at, it’s also quite basic. For the price, I was expecting the scarf to be made of mostly wool, instead, it’s made of only 10% wool and 50% acrylic -... +
I purchased this scarf for $95 and feel a bit underwhelmed. While it is a nice scarf to look at, it’s also quite basic. For the price, I was expecting the scarf to be made of mostly wool, instead, it’s made of only 10% wool and 50% acrylic - which usually means it’ll cause a sweaty and unbreathable mess, and sweating outside in the middle of winter will just make you even colder.
This product is more fashion than function, so I have to give it a failing grade.
