I have a mixed bag of skin issues, but most important are my sensitive and dry skin, and blemishes. I have only had this product for a few days, but I have been experiencing positive results already. There has been no additional blemishes over my normal amount, and my usually dry in the winter skin is feeling great. My boyfriend actually commented on how my skin looked different and felt nice.
This product is easy to apply, and practically melts when you apply it to your face. It absorbs quickly and nicely. Overall, I truly enjoy using it and will probably splurge to get it again!

I have been wanting to try a serum for a long time. I have been developing my own lengthy skin care routine, and I felt like I was missing something for my dry, sensitive skin. I was shopping on Sephora and had the chance to get the trial kit from LaNEIGE for dry to combination skin. On the price alone, I knew I had to get it because this serum was in it!
I have only had it a couple of days now, but I love the way it feels and the way it makes my skin look. It's not a value product by any means, but when you have the money to spend, this is a great product to spend it on. You can't beat looking and feeling great. This is easy to apply, and overall pleasent.

Out of the interest of full disclosure, I received this product as a "sorry" gift from e.l.f. after a bad experience with ordering from them online. They had a rough go over the holidays in 2016, and have since turned their shipping process around. After I contacted them about my displeasure in the wait time, I was sent this later on. The content of this review is entirely my opinion.
I have a mixed bag of skin issues. I have sensitive skin, allergies to some natural products, dry skin in some areas, combination in other areas, and some of the biggest and baddest dark circles under my eyes that you'll ever see. This cream is not a miracle cream that will fix everything. But, it does make a positive difference to me.
It makes my dark circles appear less dark than they usually are, and provides the delicate moisture necessary for the under eye area. It is thick and smooth, but also light. This is one of my favourite e.l.f. products I have ever had and I didn't even choose it myself! I will be buying this again on my own accord, and I continue to use this product over the more expensive ones.

I have had a range of experiences with e.l.f. products. Some of them have been actually so bad that I don't even finish the product I already have, while others are so good that I will continue to buy them again and again! And, that says something because the only place to get a great price on them is to order them online, and wait for them to arrive from the U.S..
This is one of those products where it is totally worth my time and effort to do so! I love this facial moisturizer. It's light, it's smooth, it doesn't make my sensitive skin break out, it's great even in the winter, and it actually makes my skin look awesome! I use it as part of a rather extensive skin care routine, and it's truly great. I would reccomend this to most of my friends, because it's good for my dry to combination skin, and the parts of my face that get blemishes.

It really does taste like tiramisu and I would buy it again for certain. It's a great large size for sharing.

eos Crystal is one of the most interesting and unique new lip balms I've ever seen! I received this product for free via the Product Review Club, but this has held no effect over my personal opinion of the product. I was initially taken aback when I received the lip balm in the mail, because it is so unusually clear. I really find it quite fascinating on its own, because it looks like it should be pretty soft and squishy, but it holds texture and shape very well. It did take a bit of work to get it really working well and applying evenly on my lips, but I am fairly sure that's just because it was brand new and needed some body heat to melt it a bit. It also has a bit of an unusual texture, and almost feels like it's going to be sticky. I'm really not down for that, but rest assured, the brief stickiness is just that-- brief. It was a little tackier than a standard lip balm, but it did not hinder the application of the lip balm or otherwise affect my opinion. It has a nice light scent, and it provides a nice sheen on the lips. However, I didn't actually find it was all that great for moisturizing. I have sensitive skin, so it's very likely that it's just me, but it did nothing to make my lips softer. They felt the same before and after using the lip balm for three days straight, so I'm not 100% sold in that regard. That doesn't, though, change the way I feel about the appearance of the lip balm. As a cosmetic/appearance based product, this one is great. Even if the moisturizing effect isn't perfect for everyone. This is a product I would consider buying again, to try a different scent/flavour or to give it another chance to be extra moisturizing! -

Monsieur Big mascara is a slightly more expensive mascara than I would usually want to buy, but after receiving this as a part of the Product Review Club, I am very happy I got to try it.
It has a very deep black colour, and it's very nice and smooth. I did notice a few little clumps while using it, but definitely not more than any other mascara I've used. I think it does get pretty close to the claims for increasing volume, but I was also very happy with the length.
It may not be something I'd use every day because it is a little pricier, I would be happy to use it for special occasions where I am putting a little more effort into my makeup.

Iogo Proteine was all I expected and more! I've always been a fan of Iogo products, and I've tried a variety of flavours and styles. I was very happy to have the chance to review Iogo Proteine through the Product Review Club.
I got the chocolate flavour, simply because it was all I could find. It had a satisfying taste, and the texture was great as well. I'm not a huge fan of foods with weird textures, so I find it to be quite important that yogurt or any food has a texture that is pleasant to go along with the taste.
I'm also impressed by the yogurt offering protein value along with the taste. I know yogurts can have a lot of sugar in them, which can make them seem less appealing for nutritional value, but this particular style has the added benefit of additional protein. I was able to eat this yogurt with some fruit on the side and be satisfied until lunch time.
It was quite tasty, and I'd be happy to try it again, maybe in a different flavour if I can find any!

Ben & Jerry's Non-Dairy Ice Cream in the Peanut Butter and Cookies flavour is a great treat, and I was very impressed by it. I received this product for free as a part of the Product Review Club, but I promise this review is an honest and unbiased one.
While I am not a person who lives dairy-free, I am a lover of almond milk and all things frozen dessert. I can really kill a tub of ice cream, and I adore the summer months for more opportunities to eat it, but obviously I'll still eat it when it's cold out too! ;) So, I thought I'd probably be a good candidate to review this, and I'm happy I got the chance to. Ben & Jerry's is always good, and I was very interested in trying their Non-Dairy options.
While of course Ben & Jerry's is a pricier option because they aim for high quality, fair-trade products, I was happy to see that the price is the same as the regular ice creams they offer. I don't think I'd buy it often because of the price but it is a good treat now and then.
As for the taste and texture of the ice cream, I was impressed. It's not exactly like dairy ice cream, but it couldn't be expected to be exactly the same, and it was very good in it's own right. It was not as creamy as regular ice cream, but it was very smooth. It did seem to be a little bit extra firm, but once you got into it, it was much easier to scoop. I would say the taste was good. The ice cream was not overly flavoured itself but had a good level of sweetness, and TONS of stuff in it! There was so much peanut butter I could not believe it, and the cookies were extremely plentiful as well. I was so, so impressed and it was so good!
The cookies were crunchy and flavourful, and there was so much of the tasty peanut butter. They went so well together, and the less flavourful ice cream actually helped bring it together with the more subtle taste and lots of smoothness.
Would I go out of my way to buy this over regular ice cream? Well, honestly, probably not. Would I recommend this to all my friends and family who can't eat regular dairy ice cream? Absolutely! It may not be a perfect replacement, but the reality is that it's pretty darn close and there is not many issues to pick a bone with. Ben & Jerry's as usual exceeds expectations, and I could not be happier with the product.
My boyfriend's dad eats it because he's lactose intolerant and he's so happy with it too. It's such a great rendition of dairy-free, and I'd be happy to recommend it.

Arm & Hammer Slide Kitty Litter was a happy addition to our house and kitty products. I received this product for free as a part of the Product Review Club, but this is an honest and unbiased review.
We live with two large and pretty messy kitties, and they really did approve of the new litter. Our one girl actually loved the litter, and she was trying to play in a spill of the clean stuff. I took it as a good sign, and replaced our old litter with Slide in the litter box.
Things went very well over the next week. It was easy to clean out, especially the whole box when it had to be changed in full. Very little sticks to the litter box, but we did have a tiny bit of sticking. Overall, it was a big improvement on the previous litter we were using.
What I really liked about it was that it was a finer grain of litter, and it also had no offensive smell. The cats seemed to like however it smelled to them, but it didn't smell to me and I didn't notice any kitty smell in the house if we had to go a little longer than normal without the box being cleaned.
I am happy we got to try this litter, and I think it is likely we will purchase it again in the future. The price is not too bad, a bit pricey for a small box but only a few dollars more to get almost double the volume. As long as it doesn't smell, is easy to clean and keeps the kitties happy, I'm happy. This achieved all three of those prerequisites.
