I have had the chance to use this lovely, lovely foundation for a little bit over two weeks, and it has definitely become one of my favorite foundations. First of all, I was a little skeptical with regards to the product's claims of instantly erasing fine lines, creases and age spots, but I like the fact that it has Goji berry as one of its ingredients. If I am going to be using this everyday anyways, I might as well get some anti-oxidant benefits out of it.
Although I haven't noticed any major changes in terms of fine lines or age spots disappearing from my skin, my skin does seem to be "brighter" these days. I believe that is probably due to the effects of the Goji berry.
The foundation is so silky feeling and lightweight. I love that. I am not a big fan of cakey, heavy makeup, and this foundations gives me a very air-brushed, dewy look. It really does seem to instantly erase those fine lines and age spots when I have it on. I have Diorskin Nude Fresh Glow Hydrating Makeup, and this foundation gives the exact same gorgeous finish, but at 1/3 of the price!
I have it in the color "Nude", and it's a very good match for my light/medium golden olive skin.
The sponge tip applicator that comes with the foundation is more of a gimmick for me. I only use it to dot the foundation on my face, and then use a stippling brush to blend the color in. The one time that I tried to use the attached sponge tip to do the blending, I ended up with a globby mess.
A big thank you to Maybelline and ChickAdvisor for introducing me to this awesome product. I love it so much, I went and bought a bottle for my mom. She loves it just as much as I do!

Thank you to Chickadvisor and Garnier for introducing me to the shampoo and conditioner that I have been looking for! I color my hair quite often as I have a lot of stubborn greys and have always had a difficult time maintaining my color for more than a month before I start to see fading. I had a chance to use this duo for the last two weeks after coloring my hair again with the Garnier Nutrisse Cream. Aside from the fresh and fruity scent, I love how soft my hair feels after using the products, and it doesn't feel weighed down. Aside from that, so far, my hair color is still looking fresh, with no signs of fading. I highly recommend this line of products to my friends and family. -

I was chosen to review this along with the Garnier Fructis Color Shield Shampoo and Conditioner. This product is meant to be used while your hair is still damp and before you apply heat to it. I do like the product's fresh and fruity smell. After using this and blow drying my hair, it does leave my hair quite smooth and shiny. The problem is that if I apply this product to the root area, it really weighs my hair down. I don't want that as I have thin hair as it is, so I only apply the product to the ends of my hair. The thing is though, my roots are where I want my color preserved, so it's too bad that I can't use it in the areas where I need it the most. Overall, it's a nice product, but one that I don't necessarily reach for with any regularity. -

I was one of the lucky recipients to be picked by Garnier to try this amazing haircolor. First of all, a little bit about my hair. It is naturally a dark brown, but with grey strands interspersed throughout. For this review, I chose the color "Iced Macchiato" which is described as a light iridescent golden brown. This is a bit lighter than I have normally gone with my hair color, but seeing as it is summer, I thought it would be good to go lighter.
The formula is very creamy (as the name suggests!), and I like that it is a thick enough consistency that it doesn't drip down my neck and all over the floor. Also, I use a dye brush to color my hair, and the cream formula stays right where I put it. I also really like the fact that the Garnier cream does not have that horrible, nose burning ammonia smell that some other brands do. I left my dye on for 40 minutes, way over the suggested time, but since my greys are quite stubborn, I find that I need to leave hair dye on longer in my hair.
I am happy to say that even though I left the color on longer, it did not dry my hair out. After following the instructions for rinsing out and conditioning, I was left with hair that felt incredibly soft.
As for the color itself, my dark brown hair is now a medium golden brown and my greys are a light golden shade. I love the effects that it gives. It looks like I had an actual highlighting job done.
It's been over 3 weeks since I colored my hair with the Garnier cream, and the color has stayed true so far.
All in all, I am very happy with this product and would highly recommend it to my friends.
Thanks, Garnier and ChickAdvisor for introducing me to this great product!

I love roses, but some rose fragrances can seriously be categorized as old lady scents and are extremely heavy. Not so in the case of this one. Red roses is one of the truest rose scents that I have ever smelled in a fragrance. The scent is very ladylike and quite modern. It pairs up well with Jo Malone's Grapefruit if you want to liven it up a bit, or you can make it even more seductive by pairing it up with Blue Agava & Cacao.
It is super versatile floral.

I love this scent, even though the bottle design indicates that it would be more suitable for a teenager/young adult. It is a wonderful citrusy scent that really energizes me and makes me feel well rested and ready for the day. The only problem with this fragrance is that I smell good for a couple of hours, then the scent just disappears, so I have to continually spritz this on throughout the day. It's a great pick me up scent, and studies have shown that if an older woman wears grapefruit type scents, she is perceived to be younger by the people around her. (Hooray!) -

I love the bottle design, and that is probably part of the reason why I got this fragrance as it looks so good on my vanity. The juice inside, in my opinion, does not live up to the gorgeous bottle. The scent is mediocre at best, and a bit on the treacly side. I don't think that it's a bad fragrance if you like heavy florals, but I don't think that it justifies the expensive price tag. -

This fragrance is so appropriately named. It really does smell like snow if snow has a scent. It invokes for me an image of someone snuggling inside warm blankets while it is snowing outside. The scent is so warm and unique. It is absolutely distinctive. Every time I wear this, people always comment on how lovely I smell. The staying power is fantastic and one spritz will last the whole day. -

I am sorry to say, Can Can smells like pee in a can. I almost passed out from the sharp, acidic odor when I tried it on at the store. I understand that a lot of times, how a fragrance wears depends on a person's body chemistry. In this case, I didn't even bother to give it a chance to settle on my skin, as the odor was so awful on first spritz. This fragrance is just not for me. -

This is one strong, sexy, but yet still quite feminine scent. The best way that I can describe this is to imagine a bunch of fragrant flowers mixed with sweat and musk. Sounds gross, but really smells quite sexy. This scent is very long lasting, and is a definitely a must during the cold winter months. I always wear this when I want to feel empowered. -
