I really liked using this! The body wash smelt so so so good! The exfoliating "walnut flour" made for the perfect consistency. I appreciate that they aren't using microbeads I their formula, which of course makes sense for an Aveeno product!
This wasn't drying, at all! Soap free, it feel like I was cleansing with a mositurizer.
The exfoliating factor was a huge plus, I did feel like my skin felt magnificent after using it the shower.
I did not feel like it helped with brown spots, or blotchiness, but did feel like I had a bit of a glow and felt "fresh" afterwards. My husband used it too and loved it!
Definitely will purchase again!

I have been using the lotion for a couple weeks now and have been happy with it. There is a bit of a shimmer/glow affect when used, I almost would use it for day rather then at night. I usually apply moisturizer before bed, after showering.
I would prefer if the lotion was actually in a pot container rather then the pump, it just feels like more waste.
The smell is really nice and light! It's perfect for a day cream without any major skin dryness.
I didn't find that it helped with brown spots at all, but did feel that the oil ingredient made my skin look more radiant!
I don't think I will purchase this particular item again as overall I was happy with it, but didn't feel like it was my favorite. I have a go to moisturizer that I am happy with and don't feel like I would make the switch.

I didn't like this at all. I tried really hard to give it a chance and try it different ways but it just looked messy and unnatural IMO.
I felt like I couldn't get both brows to look the same in terms of the color intensity. The powder could come off really dark on one side and lighter on the other - if I tried to correct it I found I was going back and fourth so many times - too many!
I will say that it lasted so long, it was hard to wash off - so that's a plus. Nothing worse then smudging your brows. BUT I found this to have an overall SMUDGY look anyway! It just wasn't a good look for me I guess - it was too hard to fade out with and I just had a uniform dark CHALKY brow over my eyes.
Color matching was great, I was sent Soft Brown for my review and thought it looked great - it matches the micro pencil so that's a plus too.
I won't be looking to purchase this in the future.

I have already been using this pencil and I have purchased it countless times - it's my go to for a more made up look.
It is so easy to use - I like that I don't have to sharpen anything and I like how small the point is. I can put in brow like strokes or really define an outline - whatever I want. It comes with a brush at the end which I use to blend a little more. Its just a great product all around!
The color I use is soft brown and I have very light brown/almost dirty blonde hair. It's a great match - very natural color. The Brown is too dark and the Blonde is far to orange-y.
The product lasts a long time too - it's great value for the price! Highly recommend!

I really liked this! It wasn't something I had ever considered using before. It does add a small amount of volume but the coloring and "hold" factor are actually the sellers for me here. It lasted ALL day and didn't smudge - I feel like this will be my go to for the "no make-up" days. It just adds a subtle change but keeps everything neat and tidy while adding just a little more emphasis that looks really natural.
I liked that it caught my smallest and lightest hairs at the top and outer corners.
I have light brown/blonde (or as I affectionately call it - "BRONDE" hair) and I thought the Blonde shade matched really well. I don't usually like the blonde that maybelline puts out - it's really orange IMO.

I really liked this moisturizer, it smells nice and I felt like it was really locking in moisture!
The consistency is thick and smooth, likening to Vaseline almost - but not feeling greasy at all. You really feel like you are preserving your skin when you smooth it over your face especially after an at home facial. I did use this with the Aveeno 60 second in shower facial wash but I have also used it with my other facial products and also just on it's own as an overnight moisturizer.
My skin seemed noticeably more supple in the morning and felt "dewy".
I would purchase this again!

I received this product as part of the review club - and was excited to try it as I am already an avid user of Aveeno products.
I didn't particularly notice a difference at all in my skin after using this. I also wasn't really a fan of this being an in shower treatment, I usually wash my face separately since the water in the shower is often too hot for my face so the convenience of this product isn't really a selling factor to me.
I used both in the shower and separately to just wash my face alone, and although it was pleasant to use and smelled great - and cleaned well, it's not something I would add to my face care routine.

Simple Hydrating Cleansing Oil lived up to my expectations, it didn't dry out my skin or irritate my sensitive skin, and it removed my make up in one go. I appreciate that this product is attempting to be a natural cleanser, but I always lose confidence the minute a facial cleanser says you need to avoid contact with eyes. I have natural cleansers from Lush that contain oils and honey and they remove my eye make up perfectly. So I would have to assume this is because of the not so natural ingredients in this bottle.
I use coconut oil to remove eye make up and I am quite happy doing so.
I wouldn't recommend this product only because I have tried other similar products from different brands that are more natural and don't cause me to second guess what I am putting on my skin.
I think it's an OK cleanser and I did like using it, but I would not go out of my way to try it again.
Thank you ChickAdvisor for letting me try something new!

I have tried this in the past as well as through the product review club, and in both cases I believe this cream to be OK. It does what it's supposed to do but I don't ENJOY using it. I find the texture to be paste-y. I usually like using body butters so that could also be why the texture just doesn't do it for me. I think it's a great product, just not for me. -

I really liked this! I am definitely brain washed into thinking suds and bubbles means 'clean' but I have to say, this could convert me. I loved how this was absolutely non drying, my skin didn't feel stripped away of moisture. It removed my make up no problem (I do not wear waterproof mascara however) and didn't leave any residue. I am quite pleased that I was able to try this through the product review club, and think I will pick this up in the future. -
