I received the Brightening Creamy Concealer in shade 40 (Medium) for free in exchange for my honest and unbiased review.
Let's get the negative out of the way first...it's kinda sparkly. Not "Edward Cullen in the sunlight sparkly"...but still...there's some sparkle.
That said, it glides on like a dream and the coverage was great for my breakouts...but it did require some building. I love that it's a stick concealer that twists up...no sharpener required.
I feel like this product is better used as a highlighter, if it was intended for that purpose, it would explain the sparkle. I will continue to use this product as such. #gotitfree

I received the Maybelline New York Face Studio Master Camo Colour Correcting Kit for free in exchange for my honest and unbiased review.
This kit is used to Correct, Conceal and Highlight skin tones. The kit is a great size to throw in my makeup bag, yet it still has all the colours I would need to fix skin colour issues. The palette is very creamy and very blendable. I found it worked great on my dark circles. There was a little creasing, but I think that was due to the applicator that came with the kit, I believe I would get better results with a better brush.
The highlighter was fantastic! A little on my brow bones and cheek bones really made my makeup look complete.
This kit is a great addition to my makeup routine. I would definitely purchase again / recommend to friends. #gotitfree

I received this product from the Chick Advisor Product Review Club for free in exchange for my honest and unbiased review.
I'm a BIG fan of soda water, in fact, I bought a SodaStream machine just so I could always have some on hand. Sometimes it gets boring and I crave something with a little more flavour, so needless to say, I was super excited to try this new product.
There is definitely a mild orange-mandarin flavour, but it's not overpowering, and it's flavoured naturally! I love how there is no sugar, no calories, no carbs and low sodium (only 2% of the Recommended Daily Value) It holds its carbonation well...it does not go flat quickly.
If you're expecting a taste like Orange Crush or Fanta, you're bound to be disappointed. This is definitely a club soda, but a club soda with a bit of a kick. I love it, and will definitely be purchasing in the future. (I think it will be WONDERFUL as an adult beverage with a splash of vodka!)

Look ma...no shine! I've been using this product for about a week and a half so give it a true review. I liked it, but wasn't wowed by it...especially for the price. I enjoyed how it mattified my skin, leaving no shine behind. I enjoyed the light scent...almost like a cucumber water. It removed my makeup and dirt quite well. No new breakouts or skin issues...also a plus.
It did everything that was promised quite well. My only issue is that it didn't do it much better than a micellar water that's half the cost.
I would absolutely purchase this product again...if it was on sale

From the makers of Lean Cuisine comes a fresh new product. I was so surprised at how delicious it is! It's cheese, pinto and black beans stuffed in a tortilla with a green chili salsa and sweet corn. Ridiculously low in calories (240) and high in fibre (5G) it has all the taste of a full calorie meal. I will be buying more of these in the future...who knew frozen entrees (and dieting) could taste this good! I would absolutely recommend this to ANYONE who will listen to me. -

Oh how I love this palette!! I've had it for MONTHS, and you can still smell the cocoa powder! The colours in the palette are beautiful, blend out easily and have FABULOUS pigment!
I really appreciate how it came with a little card that showed 3 different eye shadow looks, and the application process. A wide variety of colours, both matte and shimmery.
I'm still a shadow novice, and even *I* can manage to make my eyes pretty with this palette.
I would absolutely recommend this product. It's a little on the spendy side, but well worth the splurge!

This is the only mouthwash I can use. I'm able to swish it around in my mouth for the recommended length of time, likely because it is alcohol-free. It doesn't burn my mouth, like most other mouthwashes do. My teeth are somewhat sensitive to cold (I was unable to eat ice cream for the longest time *sobs*) and I have found that the Sensodyne mouthwash really helps in that respect. It has a really fresh taste, and keeps my mouth feeling fresh for a long time after gargling! It is extremely reasonable in price, especially for a sensitivity relief mouthwash. I would (and do) recommend this product, and will continue using it. -

YES...YES...a thousand times YES!!! I prefer Naproxen as a pain reliever, and Motrimax is the best of the bunch! I received a sample in the mail, and I'm so grateful I did! My mom and I catered a wedding (yes, by ourselves) and I hadn't been on my feet like that for YEARS! My back was killing me, my knees hurt. I found the sample pack in my purse when on the hunt for another pain reliever, and gave it a try.
The relief, while not instantaneous, was fairly quick! I was able to keep going at the wedding without a second thought. Just 1 gel-cap did wonders, with no adverse effects (no upset stomach or nausea, as naproxin sometimes causes me)
They are a little on the spendy side...but well worth the price, especially if purchased on sale. I wil continue to purchase this product, and would recommend this product!

I bought the pre-made bottles of the Chocolate flavour after reading such positive reviews on the powder packets. I am SUCH a fan. I have been using them as a meal replacement for my breakfast for the last 2 weeks. They are the perfect time saver! Once I get home from the store, I throw them in the fridge, and then grab one before I head out to work in the morning to have when I get to the office.
They are absolutely delicious! (I was shocked!!!) No crazy after taste, no weird chemical taste while you're drinking it. When cold, it tastes exactly like chocolate milk...but with the benefit of added protein!
While I am hungry when lunch time rolls around, the Breakfast Essential keeps me satisfied until then (no growly tummy)
I would absolutely recommend this product, and have already purchased more.

The brand name of these eye makeup remover pads says it all. The ingredients are simple, and they are very kind to the skin. My #1 concern with trying out a new skin care item is if it will cause me to break out. I am very happy to report that I did not.
These pads are extremely gentle, but still manage to do the job quite well. I found that it removed most eye makeup with one pad...but on days where I wear certain brands of waterproof mascara, I need a second pad, or have to follow up with Micellar water.
I can really appreciate that scent is not an issue, it's very mild. I don't think you can truly say "unscented" but it is definitely not unpleasant.
The price point is quite low, especially for the quality. I would 100% recommend these eye makeup removing pads.
