This is 1 of the 2 products I really preferred from this line - a little goes a long way on a cotton pad. I'm not sure how well it would work for sensitive skin as it is not 'alcohol free', but I did not notice any negative effects. I will definitely continue to use this product in the future unless my skin changes in sensitivity. -

This was the only product that was quite disappointing for me - I didn't notice any real results in the 4 weeks I've used it. The smell, again, like the other 2 products in the line is quite strong. So, if you are sensitive to smells I would definitely give this one a whiff in store before purchasing. I highly recommend the Corrective Anti-Acne Treatment cream and the Purifying Pore-Tightening Lotion though! -

This hydrating lotion by Vichy was my favourite product I received from the campaign. My biggest complaint would be the smell - it has quite a strong perfume scent which I can see being irritating to those sensitive to smells.
I was able to get past the smell and used this lotion religiously for the 4 weeks and can say my skin looked hydrated after every use. My skin did not become more oily or feel 'sticky' from the lotion. I saw a decrease in clogged pores although breakouts still did occur. Important to note that there is 1.5% salicylic acid in this product which may also make skin extra sensitive, in turn requiring SPF to be used more vigorously.
In terms of acne treatment, I really didn't notice a huge change - but this may be because salicylic acid does not usually work for me (I usually use benzoyl peroxide). For someone who tends to react well with salicyclic acid, I would definitely recommend this product because it was not too drying.

Estee Lauder Modern Muse
LOVE this perfume. I got a generous sample vial and it has lasted me for a while. The scent is amazing on the skin and a little lasts for a long time on me. The full size bottle is adorable as well! Highly recommend!

Revlon ColorBurst Lacquer Balm
I have the colour "115 Whimsical" and it isn't as staining as the regular colorburst lip balms, but it still gives a nice wash of colour. It does have some sparkle in it and a very glossy finish. I just wish it lasted a bit longer on my lips, that... +
I have the colour "115 Whimsical" and it isn't as staining as the regular colorburst lip balms, but it still gives a nice wash of colour. It does have some sparkle in it and a very glossy finish. I just wish it lasted a bit longer on my lips, that is my only complaint.
Other than that, great product and would purchase again :)

Initially I wasn't a fan of the Lipsies...when they had a clear top. Now it seems Annabelle Cosmetics has come out with solid coloured tops and the product inside of them I prefer more. They give a nice hint of colour and are easy to apply without a mirror. Sometimes they are a bit slippery on the lips - so I would not put these on before a lipstick if you want the lipstick colour to adhere to your lips.
Overall, great product!

I have about 3 of these lip liners - a cherry red, raspberry, and nude shade. The nude shade is quite brown which does not flatter my skin tone, but the other 2 colours are fabulous! Long lasting, dry to a matte finish, and are comfortable on the lips.
The stay sharp top is very good and works well! Haven't had any issues so far.

I have been using this product for years and it never disappoints. The smell isn't very strong - but they have many different scents to enjoy. If you spray a lot in one place on your hair it will leave a white cast, all you need to do is brush through it with your fingers and it dissipates. I buy mine on sale at Shoppers Drug Mart in Canada. Sometimes I can find bottles at Winners as well. -
