L'Oreal Sublime Bronze Dual Action Moisturizer
This provided an acceptable tan, but the glittery finish, the smell and the weird consistency of the formula were not great. It also seemed to really dry out my skin and was a bit patchy.

I was introduced to this product at Sephora. After years of great brows, mine have started to get thinner and greyer! I enjoy this product. It's easy to apply, the colour is good and it doesn't irritate my skin. It stays on until I take it off.
On the con side, there are lots of less expensive products now that do similar things so I probably won't purchase again. You don't seem to get a lot of product in the mini version, so it's almost like a tester. It doesn't hold my brows in place all day.

I received this as a sample. This mascara is supposed to increase volume, revitalize and give strong hold.
The volume is similar to most mascaras. The curl does hold when I use a heated eyelash curler on the mascara. The colour is quite dark. It seems to be a pretty average mascara overall.
I found it to be a bit wet and messy to apply because the applicator wasn't that easy to work with as it didn't have a shape it's just bristly. I also wish it added a bit more length.
Not the worst, not the best. If you like a wetter formula and a bigger brush this might be for you.

I received this as a sample. I love it. It goes on very smooth, is moisturizing and the colour seems to brighten any lip colour I have on as a base. I don't know if I would wear this on its own because I prefer a bit more colour.
If you are familiar with NARS orgasm blush, you should know that this colour is a lot more pink than the blush. I prefer this to the NARS orgasm multi stick product that can be used on cheeks and eyes.
The one con is probably the price. It's a lot to pay for a balm.

I get canker sores or irritated spots in my mouth from dental work, certain foods, etc. My dentist recommended this oral rinse and it works great. Often after one use the problem is resolved.
You don't need a lot, and I often use it once a day. You can't eat or drink for 30 minutes after washing your mouth out, so I found it worked best to use it at night. It doesn't taste great, but it works!

I purchased this as part of a kit. I thought the mix of colours would work well for me as I enjoy wearing rose tones. This didn't work very well for me for the following reasons:
*There was only one lighter matte shade and is too white, even for my fair to medium skin tone
*The shades I would use for transition are too flat.
*The darkest shade that looks purple in the pan, is actually quite black when applied.
*The shimmer shades don't apply smoothly. They skip and don't leave much pigment, mostly shine. Even when I tried to wet the shadows applicator, I couldn't get much colour.
*The shadows seem to get hard on the top and had a lumpy texture in the pan.
It's too bad these didn't work because they look so good in the pan.

I purchased two eye shadows to put into my own custom Inglot palette. I was hoping to reduce waste by only buying shadows I want instead of larger palettes with colours I wouldn't use. The palette holds together with magnets so the lid comes completely off when you are using the product. The downside to this is that the palette is quite heavy and it's easy to drop the lid when it's off. For this reason, I'm not a big fan of the entire palette concept because I would prefer something lighter if I have to take it in a cosmetic bag for travel, to the gym, etc.
The shadows apply easily, have good pigment and don't irritate the eyes. The mattes I purchased don't really stand out much on my lid so it's a very subtle look, but they do settle a bit in my eyelid texture.
For the cost, and because the palette doesn't really meet my needs, I think I would probably purchase other brands in the future.

I received this as a sample, and wasn't expecting much, but I was pleasantly surprised to find that this made my hair feel great without leaving any residue or heavy feeling on my fine hair.
If I can get a deal on this, I would buy it again, but I suspect it's pricey.

I love this to set concealer under my eyes and blur pores, etc. I have dry skin and I don't find this clings to my skin in a way that accentuates my dry skin. I would repurchase this, except for the cost. It's a bit out of my budget so I think I would try a drugstore product that duplicates the same effect. -
