My teeth have recently started to become very sensitive and I have been using a very similar brand of mouthwash. I have had dental issues in the past so I use mouthwash several times per day. I decided to opt for sensodyne mouthwash to hopefully attenuate my sensitive teeth. 2 months in and I can’t really notice that much of a difference. -

To be honest, I think MAC's skincare line goes much unloved. Why? Beats me!
MAC's strobe liquid in particular has cell communicating ingredients such as antioxidants (grape fruit extract, green tea leaf extract, apple fruit extract, and mulberry root extract) and locks in hydration (scutellaria and saccharomyces lysate extract).
Finally, it has a touch of Mica to exude radiance through you foundation or even on your skin au natural!
The proof is definitely in the pudding here, my friends!

As others have mentioned, this concealer tends to get a lot of love AND a lot of hate (and I can see why!):
For reference I am in the color NW35 but I wear concealer around my eyes and to highlight in NW30
Advantages: covers every little thing. From little acne to scars I have had since I was 10 years old.
I had surgery when I was ten to close up a bilateral cleft cyst in my neck. I had these two very prominent scars with hyperpigmentation until now (I am 22). This covers it so flawlessly with a smooth creamy consistency. Brush some translucent setting powder on top with a fluffy brush and you're set to go! In other words, this concealer is great for smooth skin surfaces or even acne on your face
Disadvantages:
Under eye circles with some age crinkling? This is not for you; Prolongwear concealer will settle into every fine line, nook and cranny. MAC's moisturecover concealer is more hydrating and thinner in consistency (but still can be built up) and is made specifically for under the eye area.
In a nutshell, great if you have smooth or young acneic skin. Mature women? Pass and get moisturecover.

I have the color "Groundwork" and while the price is a little steep, a little goes a long way.
I find that with paint pots, application methods vary the effectiveness of the product. For instance, I used to apply it to my eyelids (to mute my discoloration and as an eyeshadow primer) with my fingers, inevitably packing the product on. Within 2 hours, my lids were a creasey, oily mess.
However, I grabbed my trusty 217 brush out of my arsenal (a fluffy blending brush) and applied Groundwork directly to my eyelids very lightly. Not only did I achieve the same pigmentation, but it also applied less and therefore stayed on longer without creasing or becoming oily.
In a nutshell: Great if you apply lightly, just make sure you have the right tools! You get a lot of bang for your buck. Truly a superior product!

I purchased these because I know that I am a busy girl on the go. These are great if you are on your period and don't have the convenience of your own bathroom (public bathrooms while on your period? ummm, no.) or even if you need a little "freshening up" during the day.
I find that I grab these the most when I have to go straight from work to a party with the girls at night and when im on my period. A lifesaver!
TL;DR: great for freshening up or your aunt flo' visiting in town. Thumbs up!
*Note: I purchased this with my own money. All opinions are my own*

When I received this in the mail by Olay I thought "great! I need a great cleanser in my life". Upon applying this to my face and rubbing it in gently (there are tiny granules in it), it started to sting. Knowing that I have extremely sensitive skin, I washed it off only to find little red bumps all over my face. I was itchy, red, and splotchy all over! My skin took about a month to fully heal and it left scars on me :/ Not recommended for people who truly love their skin!

I got a free sample of this through Target but I am in no way affiliated with them whatsoever.
I got the color in Peach Parfait and it has amazing staying power. It is hydrating, has an amazing scent, and I would imagine would be flattering to all skin tones.
However, the glitter can be an issue for this particular color. It is that gritty kind that will still stay put even AFTER you wipe off the product. A serious issue for me and probably for a lot of women over the age of 20.
If you love hydrating balms in the summer that go on effortlessly, this product is for you.

I recently got a sample from this via a subscription service (New Beauty Test Tube) but I am not sponsored by anyone for this review.
I love this sunscreen for 2 reasons: it does not leave a white residue on the face and body as well as having a nice thinner consistency while still giving you sun protection.
It is very photogenic (I am talking to you, soon to be brides!) and can be worn underneath makeup seamlessly.
A great product, but deeply overpriced!
