Thank you to ChickAdvisor for allowing me to test this product.
When it comes to make-up, I stick to what I like (which is rare to find), and find that trying new products usually ends up in failure.
When I received this mascara, I kept thinking that this won't compare to anything I've tried before, but I was pleasantly surprised.
This mascara definitely elongated my lashes!! It was a very noticeable difference. I would definitely recommend it for those wishing for longer lashes. However it does not fully stand up to its' volumizing promise.
As a result, I wouldn't use this mascara on its own.
I have come to realize that achieving the perfect lashes means using at least two products. I first use a volumizing and thickening mascara like Rimmel Volume Lash or Rimmel Sexy Curves, and then I put on Maybelline's Falsies to get the perfect look!

I don't really need an anti-wrinkle product, but I at least thought it would moisturize my lips and skin. Not only did it not do the latter, but my lips got extremely chapped! they were peeling for about 1-2 weeks after, and I didn't even use the product on a daily basis. I have stopped using the product, and I am most likely not going to be sharing it with others. Qutie disappointed.
On the bright side, the idea is nice, and the packaging is very practical.
Do not recommend.

I was pleasantly surprised at how good this lotion is! I have very sensitive skin, and most lotions don't work on me. The Vaseline Sheer Infusion however is quite long lasting. I do like the smell at the beginning, but I find it a little too long lasting. I prefer when the smell dissipates.
Also, you don't need to use a lot to get the results you're seeking, which is great.
I found that it sells for $9.99, so I don't know if I would spend that much on a lotion that isn't free of parabens and preservatives.
It is packaged well, as it faces down, to allow the lotion to come out easily.
Throughout the years, I have found that only thick lotions help me, but this lotion is very light, absorbs very easily and actually works.
Overall, I would definitely recommend this lotion to anyone with dry skin, who is looking for a long lasting smooth skin feeling.
One recommendation would be to make this in a non-fragrance form for those with sensitive skin or those would find the fragrance too harsh.

I received this as a product review along with a loofah. The duo is incredible together!
Unlike the soapy body wash I was using prior to this product, the Dove Deep Moisture Nourishing Body Wash is actually moisturizing! A very creamy consistency proves to be nourishing and softening to the skin.
Considering I have very sensitive skin, and I normally require the use of non-fragrance products, this did not seem harsh at all. If anything, it made my skin even softer.
The smell is very pleasant and light and not overwhelming, and a little bit goes a long way.
I would recommend this product to others.

Before this product, I was a fan of the Urban Decay potion. However, I find that this product works muuuuch better than the UD one. Not only is the UD Potion impossible to get out of the tube when you still have like 1/3 of the product in there, but the staying power on this BE product is much longer. I also believe the price is cheaper, however I am not sure how much product there is.
All you need to do is turn the bottom of the stick and the product comes onto a sponge and you apply it to your eyelid. I like to blend it with my fingertips after to make sure that the product melts into the skin. It has a very nice consistency and dries immediately. The reason I know this product is a must is because it holds on to my pigments and loose powders for up to 12 hours! UD Potion never really did that.
A must for anyone who wears eyeshadow!!!

I have been using Always Ultra Thin Pads for as long as I can remember. Every time I try a different company, I always end up going back to Always. I really wanted to like this product, but for some reason it didn't completely fulfill my expectations.
Pros:
- feels a lot more comfortable than the regular pads Always sells (because they kind of feel like diapers sometimes). It is very soft and I barely felt it.
- It never moved and I had full coverage protection. There was no leaking like I have had with some Always pads before, so that's a great bonus!
Cons:
- I prefer the absorbency of the Ultra Thin Always pads to these. Perhaps I am simply used to the years of wearing them. I found that not everything got absorbed into the pad, and I wasn't even that heavy.
All in all, since I am such a fan of Always, I will definitely try this product next month and see if my opinion changes.

Won't be returning to purchase this one. I found that this creases like crazy and does not stay on even for a few hours. Doesn't blend with eye shadows well either. It's too bad really, because it could have been a really convenient way of carrying my makeup with me for last minute touch ups. Pass. -

Absolutely love this product. Only a little bit goes a long way. Very creamy consistency. Helps to get a closer shave! Even though this one is fragrance-free, there are many other options that smell fantastic.
However I do find that I still get razor irritation even with the product. I believe that's just my skin being very sensitive, and not the product's fault. A keeper!

Perfect consistency for a nighttime moisturizer. The aloe really soothes my skin and I wake up with the softest skin! I have never had this before with any moisturizer. Sometimes I can even fell it still on my skin in the morning.
The only thing I am not sure about is whether it has any other beneficial ingredients that everyone seeks these days, such as vitamins A, C, and E, etc. If not, then it is a great moisturizer for me right now (in my 20s) but I would probably start looking for something more hard working eventually. For now, it's a keeper!

I used to use products with fragrances in it until I realized all those harsh chemicals and fragrances were hurting my skin. As soon as I began using fragrance-free product, my skin changed immediately. It used to be so rough and uneven.
This has become my favourite day moisturizer! I received samples of the day and night moisturizers last year when purchasing other products at the Body Shop, and was really looking forward to trying them. I immediately fell in love with them. Contains no perfumes or irritants and is very very light on the skin! A must before makeup application, and makes my skin so soft and smooth. A keeper!
