Olay Body Quench Body Lotion
Not very good I've had better. On a more humorous note I think this is what they applied to Cast members of Twilight to give them that sparkly glow ;) P.S it smells rancid.

I bought this concealer after being fed up with my drug store brand liquid concealer.
While this stuff has full coverage I find it to be a bit cakey. It has a drying affect and if your like me (dry skin) it could end up making you look like a powdery caked mess=old lady. With that said I can only use this product if I apply a over abundant amount of facial moisturizer that then mixes with this concealer. I find this works better on top of a liquid concealer if you need more of a full coverage.
I absolutely adore Benefit as a brand but wish they could of made this less drying. Maybe a liquid boi-ing?
I still use it every now and then more so in the humid summer months. It does tend to bleed n clump up so its not something you can build up with.
This has too many negatives for me to suggest it to anyone. If you already use and like it more power to you but I see after reading a few other reviews similar to mine that I'm not alone!

I often buy products at the body shop but I never really went as far to try their face products. When the opportunity to try one came along due to being a member of the very great and generous Chick Advisor site(Yes the one you're on now). I quickly filled out the applicant survey and was delighted to find shortly after that I got picked!
So heres my thoughts and experiences with the Nutriganic smoothing serum by Body Shop.
I have been using it for around 2weeks to get a good idea of how it reacts and improves my skin.
I applied the serum immediately after my daily shower and put on my own moisturizer over it as directed(I didn't have the Nutriganic moisturizer with the review). I found the serum to have a nice milky like texture that absorbed very rapidly. Which I love because I want my face routine to be quick during the work week. A very little of the serum goes a long way but move it around quickly as the skin just seems to drink it up.
Even after applying my make up I noticed my skin looked different and not because I have applied make up! It had this sort of glow it hasn't had in years. It looked hydrated and the tone was more even. (hello I'm looking 20 again!)This was just on the first day! So I was way more motivated to keep using the product to see the long term effects.
So after repeating the daily applications of the serum and my own moisturizer I have noticed the fine lines I have on my forehead to reduce in depth and appearance. They are not GONE but they are definitely far less noticeable and I swear they are vanishing every day that passes. I really wish I could of had experienced the full line since the serum is only part of the Nutriganics system. I'll definitely look into them when I go to the body shop.
I will definitely continue using this product daily as it seems to be doing something right and its not an expensive creme/serum that promises you a face lift in a bottle. Its just a sweet community trade organic serum that works the wonders of nature. I like knowing that I'm not rubbing some man made ingredient into my skin. That gives me the Hebe jeebies! This stuff just makes me feel all down to earth.
So if you enjoyed my review I take it you're reading this far and going okay great it works for her but will it work on me? Well we aren't sisters or anything but I can tell you this. It will definitely keep your skin hydrated. I hope that it will work its wonders on your skin like it has mine. So yes I would definitely recommend it to YOU and yes YOU shaking your head. Also if you have noticed fine lines appearing I would highly suggest you try this especially since it works to diminish the fine lines.

I snatched this up Quick when I seen it at my local drug store for $5 I knew that eye makeup remover even the cheap brands cost more than $5 these days. SO I figured worth a shot . Am I glad I ever bought this. It reminds me a lot of Lancomes eye make up remover but at a way cheaper cost.
This eye makeup remover is gentle and effective, doesnt sting your eyes and leaves your eye area feeling soft.

TRESemme TRESemme oh la la! Indeed..
This stuff is good smells nice works right. Everyone else has touched on the points I wanted to make so just read below.
I highly recommend you buy this as no thermal production spray is the worse possible thing you could be doing to your locks. If you must flat iron/blow dry your hair you must protect it from damaging heat.

Oh how fun these can be. I remember the first time I used these strips was back in the mid 90s and at a over night girls night party. I tried it out there first and was Amazed at all the tiny trees of blackheads it pulled out of my nose. It kinda grossed me out to know they were living inside my pores for all that time.
I can admit that I'm a bit addicted to using these theres something gratifying about pulling out those ugly blackheads. I tend to look at the strip after I remove it with pride at my good riddance of blackheads.
They can be quite expensive but they do go on sale every now and then so watch for it if you need to save some money. You only technically need one strip a week if not 1 every two weeks.

Kabuki brush love the name and its game. This is a must have in any make up kit. Have you ever put on too much blush? Or bronzer? Well kabuki comes to the rescue for those mishaps. It really helps buff off any access you might of put on to give you a nice blended look.
This is my first kabuki brush so I dont have much to compare on. I found it to be extremely soft and very dense(loads of bristles). It really works like a charm and I love the way it feels against my skin that I sometimes catch myself over doing it.
I got a whole bunch of Studio products from E.L.F when they had this awesome coupon code (save 75%) So Im so glad to say this was on of the things I quickly scooped up. I have a few studio brushes from E.L.F and this one gets the most use.

I only have one brush from ECO tools but its definitely one of my favorites. I have the foundation brush and its extremely soft and is a decent size. Its a really inexpensive brush that you can get at a mass retailer.
To be honest I was expecting it to be a complete fail but I kept reminding myself of all the word of mouth I heard abot their brushes. I just wish Canada sold more of their product line at least where I shop.
I'd definitely recommend the foundation brush and I'm very curious to try out some other brushes from ecotools.

I like many other chicks on here got the lotion for free from the product review club with the Garnier Gel Brusher face wash.
So I figured great as I was running low on my clinique even better face cream which is VERY pricey at $50 for 50ml. A dollar a ml YIKES. So I really needed a cheaper alternative and this might be the one.
So I was really digging the packaging a bright vibrant green in a heavy glass jar with white screw off cap. Its very eye appealing. I opened up the Jar and noticed the distinctive citrus Garnier facial product smell. So if you have any other of their facial products thats what the scent is like. The cream is light-medium in texture so its perfect for summer/spring months.
After applying the moisturizer I noticed my skin to appear more bright and dewy looking. It eventually absorbed in and left me with a mostly mate and slight reflective glow. Really vanishes my dull skin in the morning. It worked great under my make up too.
I would recommend you try this product I seen it on sale for as low is $12 so really you can't go wrong with that! Its not going to make or brake the bank but I have a feeling it will become many peoples go to.
The only compliant I have is maybe to have the scent toned down a notch or two I like the smell but its a little too much for my likes.

This thing is clunky and very top heavy.. so be prepared to do some catching in the shower just dont nick yourself in the process like I did.
While the concept is nice mixing a shave lotion bar with the blades the design is flawed for many reasons and heres why. If you store it in the shower be prepared to have it only last 2-4 showers no matter if your shaving or not. The thing is the heat and moisture from the shower makes the lotion bar become VERY MUSHY. that it eventually falls off on next use after being in the shower for so long. My best advice is keep it out of the shower.
I do not get the closet shave with this thing it does however give nice moisture but somewhat too much as you rinse he blades the thing keeps adding more n more lotion to your leg. Then the blade just slides right over like buttah and doesnt even take off the hairs. You have to keep rinsing off your leg to keep the lotion from building up so things work like the first run.
Like I mentioned earlier the thing is clunky the handle is far too light for the heavy head of the shaver so its top heavy and tends to flop out of your hand.
I wouldnt ever buy this with my own money only reason I tried it was because they were giving these away few years ago via mail. I figured I'd try it out as I like to be the first to try new products amongst friends. I didnt even tell them about it thats how much it sucks.
