As with the shampoo, I was really surprised at how much I liked this. For me, it struck a really perfect balance between providing a lot of moisture without leaving any heavy residue on my hair. This makes my hair feel really light, but also silky and nourished. Right now, when my hair is really dry from being bleached and dyed pink, that's a huge deal for me. When I use this along with the shampoo, I'm consistently surprised by how good my hair looks and feels once it dries. I would definitely recommend giving this a look! -

I have to admit that I was really surprised at how much I loved this shampoo. I'd never tried it before, but on my dry, damaged hair this did an amazing job of making it look and feel a lot silkier and more healthy than before I used it. It smells really nice, not overwhelming at all, and gives a nice lather without leaving the hair feeling stripped. When used in conjunction with the conditioner, this duo makes my hair look a lot better than I was expecting and has inspired me to definitely want to keep using this in the future. I recommend this to anyone who has maybe not given Dove products the time of day and is looking for a really hydrating shampoo & conditioner combo.

Can I first just say that I'm a little bit in love with the scent of this? I have strong scent memories attached to Ylang-Ylang from my childhood, but I can often find it overwhelming. Somehow, this manages to bring that scent but a little bit softer and easier to handle. The texture of this oil is also really nice and I don't find that it sits too heavily on the skin as long as you use a light touch applying it. I didn't experience any breakouts when I used this, which is always a huge thing for me when it comes to facial oils.
This isn't my favorite face oil that I've used, but I do think that it's very nice and does a good job of leaving your skin feeling hydrated and fresh in the morning. For me, it was a little bit too much for use every night on my normal-leaning-dry skin, but I found it worked really nicely if I wore it every other night as a part of my usual nighttime skincare routine.
Overall, I think this is a really nice oil and a good foray into facial oils for those who are just dipping their toes in.

I really liked this cleansing oil and I think it did a good job of taking off my makeup. I found that I had to work a little bit harder with my waterproof mascara, but that tends to be the case with most of the cleansing oils that I've tried. I feel like this really left my skin feeling clean and ready for my second cleanse, though I actually did find that if I wasn't feeling like a double cleanse this did a good enough job that I didn't necessarily need it. There's really only one thing that I don't like about this product and that's the smell. I can't really place what it smells like, but it's just not my personal favorite. I like when a cleansing oil smells rich and luxurious, but I feel like this one just smells really, really earthy.
Overall, I really like this cleansing oil and will certainly keep using it.

Garnier SkinActive Micellar Water All-In-1 Normal and Sensitive Skin Cleansing Water

I've tried a lot of different micellar waters since they've become so hyped, but none of them have really lived up to what I hoped they would be (aside from the OG - you know which one I mean) but I had high hopes for this one and it absolutely lived up to it. I generally use this to remove my eye makeup before I take off the rest of my makeup with an oil and I find that this is really gentle and effective for that. It does a great job of easily removing all of my eye makeup without stinging or irritating my eyes. Honestly, I don't have any intention of shelling out for the more expensive stuff anymore, because this is a phenomenal product at a really affordable price. One of my favorite new products that I've tried in quite some time. -

Being that I have a tendency towards my skin looking dull, particularly in the winter, I was looking forward to trying this moisturizer. My first impressions after use for about a week are incredibly positive. I love the lightweight texture and the soft scent and I love the way it really sinks into the skin quickly and leaves my skin feeling and looking hydrated without any residue. This is really a perfect daytime moisturizer for those of us who like to wear makeup on the daily, because it really plays well with makeup and makes you skin look and feel good without effecting the wear or appearance of foundation. I would definitely recommend this, because I feel like it's a really top notch product. -

I feel two ways about this foundation. I tried it on its own, with and without primer, and I found that on my normal skin it ended up looking beautiful for the first couple of hours after I applied it, but very, very dry later in the day. I tried it with a couple of drops of facial oil, with very similar results. I was only really able to make this look good on my skin for an extended period of time by mixing it with a sheerer, dewier foundation. Now, like I said, I have fairly normal skin at the moment, but this really made it look like it was much drier than it was. I would say that this could be a really great foundation for someone with oily skin who doesn't have to worry about emphasizing any parts of the skin that might be a little bit dry. So yes, I would definitely recommend this, but for the most part to women in their teens and 20s with oily skin. For normal to dry skin, I would say that this wouldn't be a good fit. -

I was really interested to try this out and see how it stacked up to some of the other blending sponges that I use consistently. It's always nice to see new options for tools in the drugstore, particularly from the major brands, because good tools can be hard to find. Unfortunately, this sponge just really didn't work for me. I found the texture to be much too firm to be effective at blending the foundation, instead I found that it seemed to pull makeup off my skin or just kind of move it around rather than smooth it in. I like the design of the product and I think it's very attractive and decently priced, but it just needs to be a lot softer and perhaps a little bit bigger to really work effectively at blending in the foundation.
I received this product as a part of the Chickadvisor Product Review Club.

At first, I was a little bit worried about how my dog felt about this as I blended it with her current food to transition to this one, but soon enough she was picking out the freeze dried bits from this before everything else. Sometimes she can be really picky when it comes to food, but since she's completely transitioned to this food she gets really excited at meal time and devours it like it's dessert. I love the ingredients list in this and I absolutely love that she's getting those freeze dried bits. I will definitely be purchasing this in the future. -

First off, I have to tell you that while I was worried that this would have an apple cider vinegar scent that would make me wanna rip my hair off, it absolutely does not. This has a bright, fresh apple scent that is absolutely lovely. I find that this does a really good job of deeply cleaning my hair without stripping it and leaving it a tangled mess. Before conditioner, it does feel a little bit squeaky, but not to the point where I feel like it's gone too far with the clarifying. I also feel like this has been good for my scalp, which gets very dry and itchy at this time of year. I still need to use my scalp specific shampoo once a week, but I think this is doing a good job with my scalp as well. -
