I received a coupon to try this product for free and it was an amazing opportunity since this non-dairy ice cream is pricer than I would like. It was my first time trying a non-dairy ice cream and I have to say it's actually quite tasty. Yes, it's not exactly the same as regular ice cream, BUT it's close and definitely a great alternative if you're lactose intolerant, unable to have dairy in general, or maybe wanting a slightly healthier alternative. This flavour tastes exactly as you'd think it would- peanut buttery with brownie fudge pieces (my favourite thing about this) and then there's the almonds taste in the ice cream base. I'm also not a huge fan of cookie dough and I didn't mind it at all.
Overall, it's a nice little treat and will probably repurchase when I need a non-dairy option.

Charlotte Tilbury Filmstar Bronze and Glow

I mainly love this because of the bronzer side. This duo is such high quality, the powder is very tightly packed so there's not much fall out per use and you still get pigment with it too. I have been using mine almost daily for years now and I still haven't hit pan. Love the shade of the bronzer (not too orange or brown) on my NC20 skin tone.
The highlight is a really natural light golden champagne colour, which is really nice as well, but I prefer cream highlights most of the time. I do still use this when I want to change things up so this side doesn't get as much use.
Overall, upon seeing the price it is expensive, but I really do love both sides of it and the quality is amazing.

I have the light version of this oil and I have thick asian hair. I don't like applying products in my hair because I feel like I'm always just adding a layers of products into it and just weighs it down. I found that the ends of my hair still felt dry even after deep conditioning and the effects of conditioner only lasted a day or two for me, so I wanted something I could use even if I didn't wash my hair. The dryness increased once I started colouring my hair.
I normally apply this while my hair is still damp, only on the ends and when I blow dry I feel like it speeds up the process. This leaves my hair feeling soft and easy to brush through after. Other days when my hair feels dry, I apply just a tiny bit less than a dime sized amount since any more than that will just weigh my hair down or make it look greasy. Because of how little you use at a time, the oil lasts quite a long time for me!

My initial reaction upon opening this was the strong citrusy scent (definitely from the Vitamin C) and I am not a huge fan of fragrances in my products, but I didn't really mind it in particular. After drying down the scent wasn't as noticeable anymore. I like that it feels more like a moisturizer than a primer probably due to the fact that it is a water based primer. This would be great for dry skinned gals out there. Upon application, I found it lightweight, smooth, and easy to apply. It absorbs very quick for me and definitely smooths out my skin. I haven't noticed a huge difference in my makeup lasting longer since any primer does help with that for me. I have combo-dry and slightly sensitive skin for reference.
I can't see how well this would work for people with oilier skin, since it doesn't really make makeup last super long. I do recommend this as a product very similar to the Too Faced Hangover Primer. I usually wear a water based primer when my skin is feeling more dry.
I received a deluxe sample size from Chickadvisor and I'm glad I did or else I never would've heard of this brand. I like how there's nicer ingredients that they use, but probably will not repurchase due to the price.

I was looking for a lightweight moisturizer to use either in the spring/summer months. I have combination dry skin and found that this was perfect during those two seasons. It absorbed quickly which is perfect since I'm not one that has the patience or time in the morning to wait for my moisturizer to sink before makeup application (though it's a super important step!)
It works well with multiple layers of products- primer and sunscreen in my case.

One of my favourite perfumes of all time is from Marc Jacobs so I had to try this classic. I'm someone who likes fruity and floral notes mixed and although this is mainly floral I don't find it too overpowering. It definitely works perfectly as a day to night perfume since I find this can be "sexy" as well.
Lasting power is quite decent- I find it lasts all day during the colder months for me since I'm sweating less, but even during the warmer months it lasts over 6 hours.
Considering that, pricing on this is pretty inexpensive in my opinion.
Marc Jacobs is always coming out with new additions and he usually doesn't disappoint, so definitely looking forward to future scents :-)

Recently picked this up along with the Don't Look at me mask and this is my favourite out of the two. I like how this has some bits in it to help exfoliate, but because its made with honey it softens my skin with it.
Once I wash this off my face feels extremely soft and looks brighter too. The tub is quite small like their other masks, but I find this lasts definitely over 4 uses. Will repurchase as the price isn't steep.

I have been on the lookout for a primer that can help with concealer creasing and so far this has been the best one! There are multiple methods to prevent concealer from creasing and I have tried a lot of them in which none have worked.
This primer does have a slight coconut scent and I definitely don't mind it, it's not too strong either. Yes, it IS nourishing and it keeps my makeup on for a decent time (over 6 hours) before I have to touch up again. My skin feels much more hydrated as well, which I think is a plus.
P.S I have combination skin :)

I have the Batiste Dry Shampoo in Heavenly Volume and I have to say it's better than the previous ones I have tried from the brand.
Dry shampoos never usually work on me- I have thick dark asian hair and using dry shampoo in general makes my hair go flatter. I was excited to hear that this was catered specifically towards volume. It's not super volumizing, but it does give me more than their other formulas, while performing just as well in absorbing the oil.
Also, it blends in quite easily too so you don't need to worry about seeing it :)

This is my-go to product for eyebrows. I have the pomade as well, which I love, but I actually prefer the powder duo (I use the same shade in the pomade). The main reason I got this was to use on my more natural makeup days as well as for the inner brows for a softer look. It doesn't move at all throughout the day and it is build-able if you want the pay-off to be darker.
This product has great staying power and is very easy and quick to apply - a few strokes with an angled brush should do the trick. If you're in the market for defined, yet subtle brows, try this powder.
