This is the most lightweight and effective natural ointment around. This balm should be in everyone's house- It has a multitude of uses- heals cuts, tends to bug bites, soothes skin, moisturizes, reduces redness, etc. The scent is also great- a really nice rosemary lavender. The main ingredient is olive oil so it is super hydrating without being thick and heavy. Love the dark green colour and vintage packaging, it really saved my chapped nose and skin when I had a cold! -
Aveeno Fresh Essentials Anti-Fatigue Eye Roller
I didn't really get the point of this product. It didn't do much for me, so I guess it's just a princess product and is more for cooling purposes. I didn't notice much reduction in puffiness, and the liquid that rolled on wasn't very nice. Just meh!

Kiehl's Ultimate Strength Hand Salve
This is good stuff! Love the eucalyptus scent, I used it both for hands and feet. It can be a bit sticky, but a little goes a long way. Pricy for what it is, but still a good product.

Lancôme Paris Dreamtone Ultimate Dark Spot Corrector 1
OK. I don't have huge sunspots aside from some freckles, but this stuff is the biggest ripoff ever. 1.3 oz and over $100 for some sparkly perfumed lotion. BIG NO! Don't get it, please don't. Look into a Kiehl's or Clinique Dark Spot Corrector... +

I just can't make a decision on this cleanser. For the price, I don't think its worth it simply because the pump isn't great quality and the product smells a bit weird. It worked ok, didn't remove makeup or really "deep clean" but was nice to use as a 5 minute mask and second cleanse. Just ok. Get a Sephora sample before buying maybe. -
Revlon Colorstay Gel Envy Diamond Top Coat
The "Diamond Top Coat" is a great, thin consistency that dries shiny and quick. Only downside- the bottle is black so you won't be able to tell how much you've used.

I decided to follow the 2-step system and omit a base coat, even after reading some reviews claiming that the darker polishes can stain.
These polishes are a bit thicker than your typical Revlon Colorstay enamel, so be sure not to shake them before application since that will cause annoying bubbles to appear on the nails. The colour pigment and formula seems to be very consistent and I can't see it separating easily.
My nails lasted pretty much chip-free for the entire 6 days. To remove I used a generic acetone-free nail polish remover, and everything came off easy except for a bit of the green colour which collected around my cuticles. Fortunately, after 6 days my nails were still pretty bright with no major staining.
The "All or Nothing" shade had a slightly less appealing application. The polish is pretty thin, so I had to do three thin coats to get this semi-opaque finish. Overall, the wear has been pretty impressive, although the pink did chip more than the green.

essence Gel Eyeliner
Not bad- I had the sparkly brown shade which wasn't extremely easy to work with. It did dry up within the year so I wasn't able to get a ton of use out of it. great quality for the price though!
