I received this product free in exchange for an honest review.
I really liked the scent of this product, it's a nice and fresh way to start the morning, but not too overpowering, which I had feared with grapefruit. I started using this product when I received it and after the first couple of days it did start to appear that my acne was reducing. After about 4 days of using this product, I started breaking out all over my face, really harshly. I immediately switched back to my Neutrogena Ultra Gentle Daily Cleanser and my skin started to return to normal.
I'm not sure if the breakout was related to the switch in products or not. I love Neutrogena products so I had high hopes for this product and am planning on trying it again to truly assess it. I will update my review when I do, but as of now, I was disappointed with the product.

This tea is very different from the fruity or sweet teas I tend to gravitate towards. I was very skeptical when I opened the container and smelled inside - I was greeted by a very strong and slightly off-putting smell. Once I steeped the tea, the scent became more subtle and enjoyable.
I love the blend of turmeric, lemon and ginger in this tea. The taste is light enough to be enjoyed by someone, like me, who is not a fan of heavy spices. The combination of turmeric, lemon, and ginger, in a non-caffeinated, herbal tea, makes this tea perfect for enjoying on a cold winter afternoon or evening. You just feel more cozy and healthy when drinking it.
I would recommend this tea to anyone looking for a cozy, more earthy herbal tea for their winter afternoons - and I would caution them to keep an open mind when they first open their tea container!
I received a free box of 14 teas from Pure Leaf in exchange for an honest review.

John Frieda Luxurious Volume Forever Full Hairspray
I love this hairspray and have been using it for years. It has a lovely light hold that keeps hair flexible and moving but maintains any style I’ve created with it. I’ve already replaced it.

This hair primer is one of my favourite hair care product discoveries of all time and I use it every single time I apply heat to my hair. It smells great and works wonders at protecting hair against both heat and UV (so even if I’m planning on wearing my hair naturally, I’ll still usually brush some through it to protect my hair from the sun). These bottles also last basically forever (definitely for the $32 price tag) which is fantastic for a quality product. I have already replaced this product. -

This eyeshadow primer was a sample from Sephora, probably part of an Urban Decay kit. I liked the formula of the product - it’s very creamy and applies smoothly onto the lid - and every time I used it, my eyeshadow looked vivid and remained that way until I removed it. This product is super useful for creating a dramatic eye and for ensuring that it stays on and I would recommend it to anyone looking for a product like that. Because I tend to take a more minimalistic approach to my look, I’ve found that I don’t often turn to this product and don’t really see a need for it in my collection so I will not be replacing it. -

I really, really like this lash primer. It does a fabulous job at lengthening and thickening your lashes, as well as extending the life of your mascara application. I’ve found, however, that my lashes are fairly thick on their own (especially when helped by a good mascara) and though their tips are blonde, are actually quite long on their own. Once I add mascara to my lashes, I’m happy with the results and find that I don’t need to prime them beforehand. With that in mind, I would not purchase this product again, although I would recommend it for those looking to further augment and help their lashes. -

I picked up this concealer because I suffer from acne and hoped it would help reduce all of that situation. I thought it worked fine as a concealer, but didn’t find any noticeable difference in my acne or how long it would persist when I was using it compared to when I wasn’t. I also found that although the consistency and colour worked well for any problem areas, it didn’t work well under my eyes, and I prefer to use a concealer that can be used for both, rather than two separate products. I would not purchase this product again. -

I received this as a sample, probably in a kit with other Urban Decay products, probably from Sephora. I never really knew when to use this product because it felt weird to use a spray product just before applying makeup to my face, so I never really used it regularly. I would probably attribute my lack of visible results from this product to not using it regularly or properly, but I still wouldn’t purchase it again. -

I believe this product has been discontinued, and I’m not upset about it. I definitely purchased this thinking it was the Benefit Gimme Brow product, which I have heard nothing but good things about. This product is lightly tinted, but not enough to provide any substantial addition to your brows and is useful only as a brow gel to shape and hold your brows in place. I would not repurchase this product. -
