I enjoyed using the brusher. It was gentle and comfortable, and much less messy compared to using my hands. I found it effective for removing my makeup. It has a nice clean fresh scent, and my skin felt very smooth after use. I tried the moistuirizer that was also sent along with the cleanser (thanks!) and really enjoyed it. I actually just ran out of my usual moisturizer - but I think from now on this will be the one that I purchase! I used it over the sink today, but I am planning on trying it in the shower tomorrow morning.
All in all, I thought this was a great product.

I'm only 20 and this seems to be marketed toward more middle aged ladies, so when I saw the offer to review this product I immediately thought of my mom (she's almost at the 50 year mark and still has great skin but a few age marks) and convinced her to sign up! Thank you to Marcelle and Chickadvisor for selecting her and sending the product for her to review.
The color she selected was a bit too dark unfortunately, but when she mixed it with some tinted moisturizer it was the perfect shade. She loved the texture and found it too be full coverage. She especially liked that there was no scent. It applied smoothly and doesn't appear cakey. Her skin looks flawless!
This is definately a product that I would reccomend. Thanks again!

Oh Revlon, thank you for another amazing product! I think this primer doesn't get enough hype just because it is a drugstore product. Honestly, this beats any high end primer I have tried. I quit using primers for awhile because I was getting little bumps on my skin from it.. but then this one came free with another Revlon product so I decided to give it try. It's fantastic. Completely smooths out my skin and makes my foundation last longer. This has become a holy grail item for me. -

I really like this concealer. I use a different one for under my eyes, but for spots this one does the trick like no other. Whenever I get a blemish I put a dab of this on and it's gone practically overnight. I wear it under foundation during the day and sometimes at night after I take off my makeup if I have a blemish I will dab it on and sleep like that. It seems to work well to get rid of spottiness. It feels light and covers the blemish, while at the same time the medicinal ingredient in it is going to work to get rid of the blemish. -

I HAD to do a review on this product, because it is probably my favorite thing in my makeup bag. At least top 3. I am a nursing student so I deal with a lack on sleep on a regular basis. This does wonders for under eye circles. Also, during exam week and stress related break downs are a tendency- puffiness is all gone! This incredibly brightens my eyes and hydrates like no other eye cream I have tried. Normally I use this in the morning under my makeup, and before bed. I'm almost 20 years old, so I haven't reached the stage of wrinkles and fine lines but I like that this is a preventitive. It also has SPF which is great! It's also pretty inexpensive compared to other eye creams I have tried and ending up giving them away/ throwing them out because they didn't do a thing for me.
FYI: I've heard this isn't heavy enough for some people. For me, it's just right... but in case your looking for a heavy eye cream this may not be for you.

I recieved this product from the Chickadvisor Product Review Club. For a $20 product, I wasn't expecting miracles.. but as my lips could use some plumping I was more than happy to give the product a try. I doubt I would have purchased this if I saw it on the shelf before I had the opportunity to try it out.
As I still have 3 months to go before even hitting the 20 year old mark, I don't have a problem with fine lines and wrinkles just yet! However, I'm all for prevention and Step 1 of the application is an anti-feathering cream that you apply around your lips. It is supposed to define and prep the lips for lipstick. It felt nice, but I didn't think it did a whole lot for prepping the lips. I liked using the product before bed because it left some white residue if I put another lip product over top, and it really can't be worn alone if your going out.
Step 2 was for filling in the lips, and is supposed to plump the lips for hours. If I applied this and waited for it to fully absorb, I could put lipstick on and my lips definately did look plumper! It didn't last all day, but as I said it's not a miracle worker. The result looked similar to having just been kissed, and lasted about the same amount of time too!
Overall, I liked this product . I will probably repurchase it once I run out. I also had five products to give away and my family/friends were all very happy with their plumped lips as well!

Ecotools are eco-friendly and 100% cruelty free, which is why I decided to try this brand when I needed travel size brushes. I absolutely loved this pack. It comes with a powder brush, concealer brush, eye shading brush, and baby kabuki. They are all really soft, and didn't shed at ALL- unlike many higher end brushes that I have! They are inexpensive and easy to clean. They also don't have that bad smell that some brushes do when you first buy them. I am very pleased with my purchase! If I could find more ecotools brushes, this brand is all I would buy. -

I don't remember a time before Covergirl Cheekers was an essential in my makeup bag. I have two shades at the moment, Brick Rose 180 (which I can almost use as a bronzer because my skin is so light) and Rose Silk 105. They are very affordable and can be found at probably every drugstore or supermarket. There is a wide variety of shades, and I love trying them out. The color applies quite pigmented, but I find it doesn't last as long as a high-end blush like Nars would .. which is understandable considering the huge price difference.
If your looking for a low priced but good quality blush, definately try out Covergirl Cheekers!

I picked this foundation up at the drugstore because they were having a 50% off deal. I wasn't sure how it would go over because my skin doesn't agree with a lot of foundations, but I wanted to try this one because of the over 95% natural ingredients with no parabens, talc, or artificial fragrance.
I found it has very light coverage, about as much as a tinted moisturizer would give you. I use it on days I'm not going anywhere fancy and just want to even out my skin tone a bit. It's very natural looking. It hasn't made me break out, and It does apply very smoothly .
Nice foundation if your looking for LIGHT coverage.

Thanks Dove and Product review club for letting me try out these products! I was raised a Dove girl, so I was pleasantly surprised to recieve two Dove anti-perspirants in the mail. Dove has always been my anti-perspirant of choice, but I was interested to try these out and see if they lived up to the claim of making you stubble free!
I received this in both the Wild Rose scent and Natural Fresh. I really like the Wild Rose, but it is a little strong at first so if your not into that, I'd go for the Natural Fresh. I found they lasted all day and made me feel smooth and fresh. I have fine blonde hair so I don't have a problem with stubble anyway.. but I think the hair was actually a bit softer!? There may be a more dramatic difference for someone with coarser hair. I liked it anyway.
The only con side of this was that I did find it rubbed off on my clothes a little when I wore a black shirt. Overall though, yet another Dove product that does not dissapoint! :)
