The mascara comes in a fairly thick and long container. The raised, royal blue YSL symbol got me worried that the mascara was going to be blue in colour but it is black. The product smells bad but it's thick and coats the lashes with plenty of mascara and colour. The applicator has a lot of clumpy product on it but when applied to the eyelashes, it goes on smooth and is great for building up with no clumps. I was pleasantly surprised as I thought it would be going on thick and clumpy.
The package advises that the mascara is sauna proof in addition to heat and water - I stayed in for around 20 minutes before I overheated and my face got all red but the mascara did not smudge. I'm a huge fan of this mascara and very happy to have gotten a chance to use it!

@grownalchemist primer has recently been rebranded but has the classic brand's scent which I strongly despise. However, once applied to the skin, I don't smell it even when it's so near to my nostrils.
In an aluminum squeeze bottle with a flip top lid, the product comes out looking like standard silicone primers with a more opaque cloudy white/semi-transparent consistency. It applies seamlessly into the skin and forms a weightless barrier with no residue. It's very mattifying but does nothing to minimize the appearance of my pores so not sure about the blurring benefits for me. I very much enjoy the feeling of this primer on my skin but I personally don't see many benefits for me as I still have to apply powder after foundation if I want it to stay in place.

The Aveeno SPF moisturizer is thick and sticky so I wouldn't consider it lightweight but it's definitely a hydrating moisturizer. It comes out of the tube a beige colour and it blends in with my skin but I wouldn't say it is a BB cream or should be used as any sort of foundation to cover up imperfections. I have tan skin and paler complexions will probably blend seamlessly as well. It feels very heavy and there is a slight visual residue/sheen. It doesn't smell like sunscreen and doesn't leave the purplish sunscreen colour that classic sunscreen does. Due to the thick and heavy nature of this product, I am worried that it will clog my pores but it hasn't been irritating or causing any breakouts; it seems to be a good product to use in the winter months (although we haven't been getting much sun) -

I have the hand cream and found it greasy. This body cream has the same, strong, pungent scent that I don't like. I feel like it's a scent enjoyed by specific people and that's not me. However, it is not greasy on my skin like the hand cream and it's not as strong so I like it slightly better, but it's still not a lotion I would want to get whiffs of.

I have the handwash and hand cream and the scents of this brand are not for me. It is too strong and not a scent I enjoy but other people like this scent so I have given the products away to a family who will appreciate them. The body wash comes out of the push pump and feels very slippery on the skin. The scent is actually much lighter and not as pungent as the handwash so I would use this body wash as a handwash. It feels gentler than normal because it does not create suds but I kinda love lathering suds.

Like most inanimate figurines, the level of fun depends on the child's imagination. They should probably already know Harry Potter and the game of quidditch to enjoy the figurine. There is a lot of detail on the doll and on the quidditch balls. I like and dislike that it includes many removable pieces and it has a trunk to keep all those pieces so you don't lose them. But so many of the pieces are small so I'm sure we will have lost most of them by the new year.

These pimple patches are a game changer! They truly are blemish heroes. I felt like I was going to have a pimple pop up due to stress and these patches came at the right moment. I am so happy to have these patches for my blemish emergencies. I remember using some as a teenager when my face was always plagued with pimples on a regular basis but these are the best. I received patches all of the same size which I think would be the standard size to properly cover any average blemish on a face. They are sticky enough to remain in place even with some contact. I like to keep the patch on as long as I can (which usually means overnight).
On some complexions, I would even suggest keeping the patch on to wear out in public because it could camouflage any redness compared to leaving a ripe pimple exposed to the dirty air which could make it worse. I love seeing the white goop that it sucks out of the skin which is also the obvious indicator that it's working and is ready to be peeled off and removed from the skin. They are so easy to use and they work!

Grown Alchemist Hand Cream: Vanilla, Orange Peel

The first words on the package are "non-greasy" but I found it very greasy; I left fingerprints and smudges all over my laptop and on the outside of the black squeeze tube. Until I washed my hands, I was feeling greasy and felt like I was leaving finger prints on everything I touched. The dominant scent I get is orange peel which is hampered with the vanilla. It doesn't seem to fully absorb into my skin but it is hydrating. I am not a fan of the scent; it is not completely off-putting but I would not enjoy getting whiffs of my hands whereas I like lotions and hand creams with scents that make me going back for another sniff. This product is not for me.

This hand wash has such an unpleasant, strong scent that makes me gag; it's almost medicinal or smells like some kind of industrial floor cleaner. The scent lingers on the hands after washing for quite a while and I can smell the soap just from sniffing near it. The product feels slippery and doesn't really lather into soapy foam but it only requires a dime sized amount from the pump to fully cover the surface area of both my hands. The instructions say to apply the hand wash directly to your hands before applying water but I always run my hands through water before soap so maybe I am using this product incorrectly. The hand wash does not dry out my hand skin but the scent is too overwhelming for my liking; very unlike the ingredients where it states to be "softly scented".

You press and hold the power button for 3 seconds; the light turns on as it vibrates one singular time to signal it is on and ready to go. The same power button is used to cycle through the different vibrations which switches back and forth between the motor at the tip to the motor at the base. Unlike typical vibrators, there are not a variety of patterns and it's not easy to distinguish the difference between the vibrations but they are surprisingly strong, even the lowest setting. I usually stick with the strongest constant vibration mode so the lack of variety doesn't affect me.
Maybe I'm not creative enough but even after studying the diagrams in the manual, I don't understand the dual/2 in 1 function of the base motor and I find the ribbed circle not functional and difficult to hold because it's too flexible. It doesn't seem like an easy toy to incorporate into dual pleasure for both partners so I will only be using it for solo stimulation.
