The big brush makes it easy to get some volume on your lashes, but it also will clump them together. It is a messy formula, so be careful when you apply it or else you will end up with some on your eyelids as well.

Drugstore primers are something a lot of people look for, because the prices at higher-end stores tend to be a little crazy. When I saw this was being offered, I had to give it a try because I have dry skin, and I'm on a hunt for a primer that I like.
This is a cream/gel consistency. It is heavily fragranced, which is surprising because it's also supposed to be for sensitive skin types. It dries down fairly quickly, creating a smooth base to apply your makeup.
I will say on its own, it is not enough for my dry skin. I have to wear another moisturizer underneath the primer to be sure that my skin gets hydrated, or else I'm left with dry patches.

Stick foundation has been very popular recently. Since I have dry skin, I generally use a liquid foundation because it is a little more forgiving on dry spots. When I was given the opportunity to try Lancome Teint Idole Foundation stick, I decided to take it. Thank you chickadvisor! #GotItFree
I like how easy it is to use. Just like a lipstick, you turn the bottom and the product moves up. You don't need to get your hands dirty. And the product does not transfer to the packaging either.
It applies so smooth. Just a few swipes on your face and that's all you need. It says its medium to full coverage, but I find you do need to build it up to get a fuller coverage. I use a beauty blender to blend it out and you get quite a flawless/natural looking coverage.
I will say the lightest shade (110 ivory c) is just a tad too dark for me, but if applied lightly and blended out, it isn't too noticeable.
The biggest issue I had with the stick is that it settles A LOT into dry patches, so if you are experiencing any, be prepared. Even exfoliating and using a heavy moisturizer, I was still able to see some dry patches. But that's just my skin right now as the weather changes. I could see this being great for this summer when I have a little bit of a tan, and my skin is less dry. If you have oily or normal skin, this would apply evenly with no issues.
Overall, I love the ease of application, and how natural itlooks on the skin, but I dislike how it accentuates dry pqtpatches on my skin.

Dry shampoo is always something great to have on hand. Sometimes we get busy and don't have time to spend hours on washing/drying our hair. Not to mention, it's not good to wash your hair every day either. I would say that this Dove Refresh+Care Volume Dry Shampoo smells great. The white cast can be brushed out easily. I don't think this gave my hair any added volume, and I found that it was heavy in my hair. It works for my hair for maybe a day, but I would have to wash my hair later that evening or the next day because it still feels greasy. Overall, this is just an average dry shampoo. It's not great, but it isn't the worst I have tried either. I wouldn't repurchase this in the future.

First off, I received this for free from ChickAdvisor in exchange for my honest review.
Most foam cleansers are not good for people with dry skin because they use drying agents in it to make it foam. I was a little scared that I would have issues with this cleanser, but I have to say I was pleasantly surprised.
One pump is enough to cleanse your face. Not only will it remove your makeup, it will also make your face feel clean! I didn't notice that it dried out my skin either, which is great because like i mentioned before, all other foaming cleansers just dry my skin out. This is hydrating. It seriously is a game changer for those with dry skin and are looking for a new cleanser. I will probably repurchase this once I run out, just because it did such a great job cleaning my skin and removing that pesky waterproof mascara!

I'm not usually one to use thermal water in my skin care routine, but I have to say that this Vichy Thermal Spa Water has changed my mind! Not only does it give your skin a burst of hydration, it also cools you down on those hot summer days.
This can be used in many ways as well. After you wash your face before you apply your moisturizer. Before applying your makeup to hydrate the skin. Also after your makeup to give you a little bit of a glow, and added hydration. You can also use it throughout the day just to give your skin a little boost.
I will say I will probably end up purchasing another when this is finished because I really love how it made my skin instantly feel.

I received this free from ChickAdvisor in exchange for my honest review.
First off, I love rich creams. I find normal, everyday facial creams just are not creamy enough or hydrating enough for my dry skin. So I'm constantly on the look out for creams that are thicker and can stand up to, what feels like, my desert skin.
This cream is rich but no too thick. It won't leave your face greasy or feeling as if it's oily. I would say though this may work better for most people at night. I did have some issues with it when I tried to apply makeup over top. Issues such as it pilling and then leaving my skin looking splotchy in some areas.
On its own, I didn't find the cream to be hydrating enough. But used with other night time products (such as a serum) it works great. It provides a lot of hydration and doesn't feel sticky or oily. I would consider purchasing it once it runs out.

Simple Kind To Skin Smoothing Facial Scrub
I found this scrub to be very gentle. It isn't as harsh as other competition. I liked that it didn't cause my sensitive skin to turn red, and it didn't dry my skin out either. It's also creamy which is nice for those with dry skin.
