I received a sample of this product for free and have been giving it a try there was a decent amount however more product in the sample would be better for longer testing
The positives: smells good, goes on smoothly and doesn’t need to be extensively rubbed in (which is great since it’s for eyes) and dries quickly
The not so good: this really didn’t have a positive effect for me. Small lines were not impacted. I don’t have puffiness or dark circles so I can’t comment on that effectiveness. I’d consider using it again for a try if I got puffiness or dark circles, or perhaps when I’m a bit older

Ok, I like the convenience out of these, They have proven great for travelling, especially to get rid of that 'I've been in and out of the sun and now I'm flying, then go to work' sort of feeling you have when you're travelling around. They work well to remove makeup and are thick enough that they don't dissolve or tear.
One drawback for me that is the amount of waste this is-I definitely DO pay attention to that when buying products, and the individual wrapping that is garbage only is a huge turn off for me. I would LOVE to buy these products if the packaging was a biodegradable or able to be recycled. I will likely not purchase again for this reason.
Overall product works well.

I tried out my peel off face mask and I have to say- I wish this was just a clay or gel mask! It helps tighten pores which I love, and the smell and consistency are good. My issue is with the actual peeling- I find it SO difficult to peel off, even when I've used a generous amount. I have used some peel off masks in the past and they've been better for peeling. When I went to take it off, I wound up needing to use a cloth and water anyways (then I also wound up with the purple mask stuck all over my sink), not the most ideal.
I really like Aveeno products, and if this was a gel or clay mask I think I would be all over it and willing to purchase, but this one isn't for me. Since it is effective for tightening pores, I don't think it is a total loss which is why I am still willing to suggest people try it- probably best for those that love peel masks and prefer them over other kinds.
If Aveeno has other masks come out I will still give them a shot since I do like their products!

This is one of my go-to products. I don't wear a lot of makeup on a daily basis, and usually wear foundation for going out or special events. I like this cream because it is a good go between- if I need a little bit more than no-makeup, but don't want to put a lot on, this can help even out some of the red areas I may have without loading myself down in product. I find if I wet my fingers a bit it helps the product spread a bit thinner for a nice application. I don't usually apply with a makeup sponge. It does last the day and absorbs into my skin throughout, when initially applied you can see a bit more that you're wearing makeup, but as it absorbs I find it looks pretty natural during the day. Overall I will definitely use the product again! -

Unfortunately I am not a huge fan of the product, because I don't really notice any difference to my skin. I've given it quite awhile (minimum a month) of use and I can't say I see any differences. I also took it with me to the desert to see if when my skin gets a little extra dry there, this would have a more significant impact- unfortunately it didn't. It feels a bit like putting a very thin gel on your skin and can be a little sticky. I do like the pump option, and it did help minimize my pours. Outside of those two things, it was not effective for me. My skin is normal to oily. I do normally have success with neutrogena products so this product will not deter me from the brand in general but I will be mindful of similar items. -

Use a mirror when applying! This lipstick is great. It is a wand applicator and easy to apply. But I highly recommend you use a mirror when applying, at least if you are wearing a bright colour like the red. A little goes a long way with this lipstick and I find I don't need to heavily apply as it spreads easily. The spreading easily is part of the reason I recommend using a mirror to apply-it'll probably go out of your lip line if you aren't paying attention.
This lipstick is on the pricier side but I do think that the quality lives up to the price (unlike many other expensive lipsticks I've tried). Overall I would buy this again & recommend to friends looking for high end products.

This toner actually has a scent to it- I like it but fair warning to those that find themselves scent sensitive, you should smell it before purchasing as it it is a stronger smelling toner.Overall this feels very light and does not leave a heavy layer feeling to your skin. Works well thus far! I am undecided as to whether or not I would purchase this toner again. -

I really like that this is in a pump bottle form. It makes it great/easy to use in the shower. I like that this is a gel cleanser and does not have any beads in it since they aren't great for the environment. You can use this gel on a facial cleansing brush and it will still work well. So far it is working well for me. While I do NOT have sensitive skin, I think this one would probably be ok for people who do have sensitive skin. -

This is a boutique lingerie/intimates store in Toronto's west end. It is owned by two women and sells lingerie, pjs etc. I think this store is great- fair warning, items are not cheap but they are in line with other boutique stores of a similar nature and carry high end brands so high prices should be expected. This store really promotes having items for ALL body types- very thin, average, curvy, everything. I really appreciate that the staff are interested in making all of their customers find something that makes them feel great! -

The stick feels high quality (ingredient wise) and is smooth like many Dove products when you put it on. It seems like this one may not agree with my body chemistry because it doesn't seem to last as long as I'd like it to, but it does smell good. I think it can be a bit hit or miss with the products depending on your body, so I'd definitely recommend giving it a try as an option. I've started using it as my post gym option when I won't be running around for the remainder of the day. Overall give it a try to decide if it's best for you! -
