I will admit that I saw some benefits immediately and others came almost after the two weeks of testing the product as part of the Review club. . The immediate thing I noticed was that my skin the next morning was smooth and non greasy. After the two weeks I really saw a brightness to my skin and I hate to use the word youthful but there was a softening. I was not good at using it daily, but once I hadn't used it for about three days was told that I looked tired and rundown! I will definitely keep using this. It went on smoothly, there was a little stickiness for a bit after until it sunk I (longer on hotter nights) but I liked that the fragrance was light. -

I was sent this product as part of the Review Club. I found that it did live up to its advertising in that it was non-sticky but it did feel like it dried out quickly during use. Compared to other lubricants, it needed to be reapplied more than once. I liked that there was no cloying, strong smell though. I wouldn't necessarily recommend it as everyone has different needs/wants; it wasn't terrible but it isn't a lubricant that I would seek out in the future probably. -
Almay Eye Makeup Remover Pads

This is my go-to to remove eye make-up. I definitely prefer the non oil-free version as I found that strangely it made my eyes oily. I usually wear shadow, eye liner (light) and mascara and I find that the 1 pad takes it all off for both eyes. Also I like that it is in a container for travelling, no mess and a tight lid. -

I was given this product to review as part of the Review Club. I was excited to try out a spray dry shampoo as I had been using Cake powder for the last few years. I only wash my hair 2-3 times a week but I don't put any products in it for styling. I found that Batiste was easy to use, set quickly and my hair was a lot less greasy even the next day. It really was like the end of a first day hair on day 2 and 3! The only drawback I had was that it went on white and sometimes looked like my hair was lighter, but I have blond highlights so it matched in well. I will definitely buy this again, though I am curious to see how long a can lasts. -

I purchased a Mia thanks to a Klout discount ($89 before tax). I had some problems initially as I got a carbon coloured one and the LED light did not light up much. After some personalized customer service, I started using it and so far I have been using it for 1 month.
Pros: my pores are smaller and I am not breaking out as much (though initially there was a breakout, much calmer since). I find my skin isn't as oily at the end of the day.I think the tone is better as well. I have yet to recharge it!
Cons: I found every day use was drying my skin out (but it is also winter, so that might be a factor), so I switched to every other day. Initially my skin was also irritated by the bristles, but that ceased after about a week.

I have blonde girl eyebrows for a brunette, so I was really intrigued with this product as I find my attempts at using pencil to fill in my brows looks fake. The wand, just like mascara, helped the product cover my eyebrows well, and the fact it was a gel, it went on smoothly with no clumping. It didn't look like I had filled in my brows and was very natural. I found that even when I inadvertently rubbed my eyes, it did not rub off. I really liked it!

I don't usually wear powder daily, as I don't normally wear foundation. But when it was humid, I found that the powder 'set' my skin and the shine was lessened even later in the day without reapplication.
The powder went on nicely and didn't look like I had make up on, which I liked.

I LOVE this mascara! It does not flake or smudge and comes off cleanly with no residual smudging later. I didn't find it really volumized my lashes but they were well defined (very little clumping). They still looked good at the end of the day too. I found the wand easy to use, even with the double ends, I wasn't sure about this at the beginning. I will definitely buy this again!

I received this as part of the review club. I was a little put off at first because the colour was quite bright when it was applied, but after a blot and wearing, I really liked it. The application sponge tip worked well and I didn't find that I have too much product. I liked that my lips didn't dry out while wearing it either. -

This is the BEST body lotion I have used. I have dry skin and used to find that other products would still leave me feeling itchy later in the day. With this lotion, I have actually skipped a day and still had great, soft skin! It is fast absorbing, not greasy and with a light fragrance. I will definitely be buying this again! -
