**I received this product to try for free**
I have recently been using the Clinique Smart serum and was excited to try this product, based on their claims.
I unfortunately did not see increased hydration (thus far) and fine lines are still visible. I do see a bit of improvement in skin tone, but nothing extravagant,
It had a nicer smell than previous products I've used but I won't be recommending the product to friends or family. I will also likely switch back to my previous product once this container is empty.

St. Ives® Fresh Skin Apricot Scrub
I've been using this as an exfoliator for approximately 20 years now and found it to be the most effective, cost and results, on the market.

I've tried a few serums in the past in an attempt to replace the Prescriptives serum I used for years.
This seems to 'target' areas but I found it most effective in smoothing the appearance of bumps and pores.
I did not notice a difference with fine lines or dark spots though

I use this product as my 'go-to' face wash, day and night,
This product not only gets rid of ALL my makeup, but also keeps any occasional breakouts from getting too bad.
I don't find it drying but I also always follow up the cleansing with an topical acne treatment (prescription), serum and moisturizer

I usually use Neutrogena Deep Clean face wash, for occasional skin breakouts.
This product was not as effective when it came to washing off makeup as the Neutrogena but it did clear up the small breakout I was having. I did find it drying after a few days on continual use but would recommend when having a small breakout,
This product worked FABULOUSLY on chest and back breakout though! I put it on a poof to reach all areas and it cleared everything up very quickly!! I think men would especially benefit from this.
**I received this free product to try from ChickAdvisor.

As a person who works in front of a computer for 10 hours a day, I was an avid Visine user, but noticed that my eyes continued to stay red. Turns out, I needed a different formulation and this was it!
My eyes stay lubricated and the whites stay white.

The colour was a mix between a red-blue and a red-orange, which didn't look great with my skin tone, but I love the consistency of the forumla!
It didn't last very long (my mug was covered in the gloss), and it left behind a 'stain', which may look great on some people, just not this gal!
I will buy this again, but in a different colour
Disclosure: I was chosen to receive this product free to test.

I recieved the "plum" colour to try - I have blue eyes and usually stick to browns/golds/coppers but was willing to try a new shade!
It is VERY sparkly; definitely too much for day-to-day wear and almost, dare I say, 'tacky' to wear on a night out.
The formula itself was nice and creamy although it did crease (I even tried it with an eye shadow primer, as my skin is oily).
I like the idea of eyeshadon-in-a-stick, but will stick to my current brands.

GOSH Crazy Volume Mascara

I have thin but very long lashes and currently use Almay Triple Effect.
The brush is much bigger than I'm used to and the spacing of the bristles of the brush (think of them as sticking out from 10 and 2 on a steering wheel) is very odd.
The formula though is great! It didn't give my spider-leg lashes but rather built up the product nicely and did not smudge at all.
Forget about getting your bottom lashes with that brush though - darn near impossible without getting mascara on your cheeks.
I would use the formula again, but with my own brush dipped in.

I usually use the True Match powder in N4 over my foundation and was hesitant about how the 'white' powder would look and how effective it would be on my skin (oily).
A little goes a LONG way, but it was quiet effective at managing the shine, even longer than my usual powder (which I touch up a few times a day). There is no issue with looking ghostly unless you use way too much.
I did notice that it didn't help minimize pores at all, but for shine management? It worked.
