This is a pretty fancy-looking product. It went on really nicely, smooth and gentle and soaked in well, too. I used it in combination with the night cream that was sent to me.
I enjoyed using this product but didn't really notice any difference to my skin over the 2 weeks. Just basic hydration. The smell was nice at first but gets annoying after a while.
I wouldn't buy this again because it didn't rock my world and the price is very high. I get better results from using face oils.

Batiste Dry Shampoo Original Clean & Classic

I've used this product before and in terms of dry shampoos, I like it. I like that it comes in spray-on format, smells nice and gets the job done. The one drawback I noticed is that it left a little bit of whiteness on my hair. It's not a big deal since I'm blonde, but I can see darker ladies having issues with it. -

I was really excited to try this product but it failed to live up to my expectations.
I have used other high end cream blushes so I knew how to apply it but I was totally underwhelmed.
The shade looked appropriate for my skin in the tube, but was barely there when applied to my cheeks. I had to load so much on and blend, blend blend that it just wasn't worth it for me. I think the pigment load is low on this one and it doesn't blend very well, it just disappears on your face.
I wouldn't buy this, instead I would opt for a full powder blush or a higher-quality cream-to-powder blush or pigment.

This was a little difficult to review since the wrong shade was sent to me. I'm quite fair so the review club sample was a bit too dark for me.
I tried it out anyway and it's... fine. It's better than the Physician's Formula one I've been testing (pigment load is higher, better container for dispensing) but isn't as good as my high end Bare Escentuals mineral powder, either.
It went on well with my kabuki brush and blended out fine. I would probably purchase this in the correct shade and use it as my "light, I don't really want to wear makeup but I have to and don't want to do the full face" product and ditch the other cheap brand.

This was a decent mascara but a little bit of overkill with the two wands, you really only need one.
I was a bit disappointed that it wasn't very dark, volumizing or plumping, etc. it didn't really look like I had anything on unless I did about 5 applications. You also don't really need the 2 wands, the large one is fine. If you really need to get the little lashes then a tiny, ball-shaped wand would have been more useful.
One thing I did like was how easy it was to wash off. No crispy eyelashes for me! That was really nice.
Overall this didn't really amaze me and I would not purchase it.

This was an interesting little product. I thought it would be a brush applicator but was actually a doe foot applicator. The colour went on nice and bright and was easy to apply. It tasted nice, too! It wears off a little bit too quickly though... +
This was an interesting little product. I thought it would be a brush applicator but was actually a doe foot applicator. The colour went on nice and bright and was easy to apply. It tasted nice, too!
It wears off a little bit too quickly though. It's more like a super-glossy lipstick than the lip stain I thought it would be. I don't know the price but if it's under $10 it would be a decent spend.

I've never used a wet wipe before so it was a bit strange, but overall the wipes were nice. I was disappointed with the packaging since we were sent the refill packs--I think that it didn't really give us the real experience with the product because it dried out so quickly.
I don't know if they are necessary for day to day use, but they would be handy if you are ill or on your period for some gentle freshness!

Cottonelle Ultra Bathroom Tissue
When this is on sale, it's a good deal! It holds up well and doesn't leave little fluffs behind like Royale. It was soft and strong and gave me no problems, which is exactly what I need.

It was hard for me to objectively review this one. I'm spoiled daily with a fabulous sonic electric toothbrush, so you can't really do any better than that.
This was... a tooth brush. It felt nice, the little rubber things were fun and it didn't irritate my teeth which is always a good thing. I'll keep it around for overnight trips but probably wouldn't specifically buy it again.

I'm not a big mouthwash user but got this as part of the club.
It's ok. I normally use Listerine so I'm used to a punch in the face of freshness. This one was a little burn-y too, despite the lack of alcohol. It tasted ok, but had that weird after-taste that you get at the dentist after you swish with fluoride. Not a fan of that.
I will continue to use up the bottle but I don't think I'd buy this again. Maybe it's good for those that find Listerine just a little too fiery.
Also, what is up with the price? I hate that things that are so consumable/disposable cost so much. I suppose they expect you to get through the bottle in 2 weeks? That seems so high for jacked-up rinse water.
