The concept for this product that I had received is neat, I received 7 packets which you use one at a time. I prefer to use serums at night and this was fairly easy to use, just fold the packet, squeeze out all the product, mix and apply.
To be honest, I really didn't notice much difference to my skin.
Yes, my skin did feel soft and hydrated right after applying the serum, but that's pretty much it.
I did like that there was no scent, if there is, then I could hardly detect one. I did notice that there was a bit of tackiness once the serum was applied all over to my face, but it did go away after a few minutes.
I personally like to test out a product for several weeks before I can decide if it's beneficial for my skin or not.

This is a mild cleanser, it’s very gentle, not harsh at all or cause any irritation. I did 2 pumps and got a good amount of foam, didn’t detect any scent to this, if there is, it’s very subtle because I couldn’t smell anything.
I used this twice a day, once in the morning, to refresh my face and second time at night, to use as a final step making sure any trace of makeup was removed if I had missed any from using the makeup remover wipes.

Finishing touch flawless is a compact device designed to remove unwanted facial hair instantly and pain free.
This device is nice & sleek, it's small and not too bulky which is perfect and you can take it on the go. Looking at the product, this doesn't look like something to remove hair with.
This did come with one AA battery and it took me a few tries trying to pry open the bottom piece of the device to insert the battery. It also comes with a cleaning brush to remove the hair from the interior of the device.
I really like that this has an automatic light which turns at the same time the device is running and it's really helpful especially when you're trying to remove hair from the face and sometimes it's not easy to see the hair.
You need to be gentle when using this this on the skin, there's no need to be rough with it, gently passing over the skin does the job at removing the hair. You can either go in circular motion or one way motion works as well.
I did wipe the device with rubbing alcohol before I used it on my skin that was free of makeup.
It removes hair very easily and there was no redness nor any irritation.
This is a great tool to have on hand at removing peach fuzz!

I received Batiste plant powered dry shampoo in the scent green tea & chamomile 200 ml for free for my honest opinion after testing out the product.
I tend to wash my hair everyday.... I know I know, not suppose to, but I just can't help it.
It's been 1-2 months that I have been trying to wash it less.
I now wash it every other day and receiving this dry shampoo came at the perfect timing, since not only will I be able to give my hair a break from the excessive washing but I can actually test this out on my non 'wash' days.
Batiste dry shampoo is vegan and has a no rinse formula which is perfect to use especially when you're in a hurry, also great to take on the go as you don't need anything else except for a brush, and if you don't have a hair brush, just use your fingers!
I have thick dark brown hair and was a bit worried that using this would leave a white residue but that was not the case.
I followed the instructions which were easy and sprayed this in my slightly greasy roots and brushed my hair afterwards. Doesn’t take long at all to use this!
This does have a strong fragrance, but it's bearable and after a few minutes it goes away.
Overall, this dry shampoo does the job at making my hair look better and not so greasy looking, it doesn't weigh it down either, (I used this once per day, did not use several times throughout the same day) and controlling the excess oil while adding a tiny bit of volume.
I will continue to use this on the days I don't wash my hair, but I am not the type to not wash my hair 5 days straight, I cannot do that.
It's a start for me to go 1 day without washing my hair, max I will do is go 2 days without washing it, so this is a perfect product for me to use on those lazy days when I don’t want to wash my hair.

Great 3 in 1 mascara, with a primer, serum and mascara combined into one.
The mascara is in black and it is not waterproof, however there is a waterproof version for this mascara.
This claims to instantly plump & volumizes the lashes, and in 4 weeks have thicker, longer and stronger lashes, however I cannot confirm that as it has not been 4 weeks that I have been using the mascara.
I love the fact that I don’t need to apply a separate primer before applying this mascara as there is already the added primer in it.
The brush applicator is curved and easy to hold, I applied 2 coats of mascara, which I found was plenty for my lashes, there was no clumping and all my lashes still looked natural and separated.
This did not wear heavy on my lashes and held up very well after several hours.

I used for serum for one half and a half, at nights before applying my moisturizer. Serum has a milky like consistency, it doesn't feel heavy on the skin and I didn't detect and scent and used roughly 4 to 5 drops for the face and neck. It did make my skin feel a little tacky but it only lasted one minute or so, this could be due to the fact that I used more than the recommend amount of drops as stated on the box which is 2-3 drops.
I liked how this made my skin feel soft and hydrated, there was a glow to my skin using this serum, however I did not really notice any difference to the pores.

This is a classic mascara that’s buildable and doesn’t clump. I did roughly 3 coats of this mascara and it still looked pretty natural. This is not waterproof, which is not really a big deal for me, I never have any issue with mascara leaking even wearing it for 12+ hours, however it does leak when it rains! -

This eyeliner was fairly easy to use, good grip so the pen won’t slip and very vibrant in color. I only needed to pass the eyeliner one time to get a solid clean look.
I’m not the best at applying liquid eyeliner especially the wings, I always seems to mess up, but because this is a fine tip, I was able to easily achieve the winged liner that I was aiming for.
I wore this for at least 12 hours and it did not smudge nor bleed.

It's been one week that I have been using this serum and I like the fact that it's a clear bottle, so I can see how much of the liquid remains. There is no scent and the drop applicator makes it easy to apply. I used around 4 drops for my entire face, and 2 drops for the neck and only applied at night before applying moisturizer. I used the tips of my fingers to apply the serum all over, and there was a slight bit of tackiness when it dried down, but that could be because I applied more than intended. Tackiness only remained for a few minutes and it was gone after. This serum made my skin feel very soft, smooth and supple. I will say that I did end up breaking out on my cheeks, an area that I almost never break out. This was the only new product that I had added to my routine. That being said, I do like how my skin felt radiant using the serum, and therefore will continue to be using this as I would like to see the full effectiveness that this serum can provide. -

I typically do not drink soda very often, and if I do, it's usually mixed in a cocktail. I decided to try this club soda on it's own as I wanted to taste it without any other flavors mixed in. I really like that this is zero calories, I don't have to feel guilty if I have a can or two, it's unsweetened which is perfect for me, I thought that this would have a bitter taste, but it doesn't, there is a slight bit of sweetness.
Overall, it's not bad, but I don't think I would purchase this in the future due to the flavor, I would much prefer to have lime/lemon flavored club soda. However I'm sure this flavor of triple berry would pair really well mixed in a cocktail.
