I got this shadow as a single. It's a metallic light purple, almost pink eyeshadow. It has a slight bit of glitter in it too.
I'm generally impressed with Iby eyeshadows, they are creamy, pigmented and last all day - even without a primer. Applies better with a finger, but brushes work too.

I normally love Revolution products, but this was a big disappointment. I'm glad I got it on sale, so it only cost a few dollars.
The palette looks amazing in pictures, bright neon colours.
15 pans divided into three sections. Each section has a larger highlight shade, two larger pans and two smaller pans.
The good: two of the highlight shades are pretty stunning. One is a matte white, which is okay. The other two are silver, one more metallic and one more glittery. Both are pigmented and pack a punch.
The bad: everything else. The bright neon shades have no pigment. The other shades swatch okay but don't apply well to the eye. As soon as you start to blend they disappear.
I was so excited about this palette and now it's just so sad.

Revolution Reloaded Basic Mattes

I love all matte palettes, so this was a good buy for me. It's inexpensive, like all Revolution products, but is decent quality.
15 large pans, not the best colour payoff but buildable. I really like the cool-toned shades, as I prefer them to warm tones. The black isn't as black in this palette, can be a bit patchy, but overall, very good for the price.

This palette is supposed to be a dupe for the Anastasia Subculture one. If you like those colours but not the price, this one is much less expensive (I paid around $6 on sale).
The colour story is beautiful and most are quite pigmented. Some do need a bit of work to build up and not be patchy. The only really disappointing shade is the white duo-chrome. No matter what I do, I can't get any colour payoff with that shade.
You get 15 large pans. 1 duo-chrome, 1 metallic, 1 metallic/glitter, and the other 12 are matte. The gold metallic has great pigmentation, the green/yellow metallic/glitter needs glitter glue and a bit of work, but it shows up nicely.
Of the mattes, the black is super dark and pigmented. The yellows can easily muddy together, but are nice individually. The greens tend to do the same, and mix together easily, rather than give a nice colour gradient. With patience, you can get the look you want, but you need to go back to the pan often for more product.
Overall, this is a great palette if you like the colours but they aren't something you're going to wear often. They take a bit too much work for an everyday palette, but I am happy I got it because these aren't everyday colours for me. I like them, but only wear them once in a while.

I ordered this to have a palette for travel. This comes with 15 eye shadows (7 Matte, 2 Matte with glitter, and 5 metallics). The mattes are all nicely pigmented and apply easily. The metallics are similar, although some apply better with a finger rather than a brush. The matte with glitter are mediocre. The one shade that really caught my eye, the green/teal one, is disappointing, as it doesn't apply as well as I would like.
The palette also has 4 blushes and 3 highlighters. I use all of them on my fair/light skin, depending on how tan I am. As for blushes, there are two peach shades, a deeper pink/orange shade and a bright pink. They are sheer but buildable. The highlighters are light champagne, light gold and pink. The gold is a bit dark for me, but works for eyeshadow. They are also buildable if you like a strong glow.
There is also a mirror on the lid, quite large. My only real complaint is that when you open the top part of the palette, it forces the bottom section (with the blush) open, so it can be a little annoying to hold while doing your eyes.

NYX Lip Lingerie
I love this liquid lip. It's my everyday go to lipstick. I have a few shades, depending on my look. I wish it wore a bit longer but it doesn't dry my lips, so it's worth it

I got this product for free through the Product Review Club.
Of the three teas I was sent, I liked this one the least. I love lemon flavour, but the mix here just didn't do it for me. I've never been a big fan of echinacia, so take it with a gain of salt (my opinion, not the tea!)
Again, it's hard to evaluate any "immune" benefits, but zinc is supposed to be helpful when you're ill and lemon is fantastic for soothing a sore throat, so I would absolutely drink this when under the weather.

I enjoy Tetley Teas in general and this is no exception. I like the fresh tasting twist on traditional greed tea. It is fantastic in the morning for a fruity, light and citrus-y tea.
It's hard to evaluate any anti-oxidant claims, but it is a nice cup of tea (I prefer to add a little bit of stevia to mine, but it's also tasty on it's own)

I got this free through the product review club.
I had thought this was a herbal tea, but it's a green tea with some mild berry flavour. It was pleasant tasting, I chose to add a small bit of stevia to sweeten the tea since I thought it would work with the berry.
I didn't find that there was any sort of boost or extra energy that you may expect with B vitamins.
I would consider buying again if I saw this tea on sale. I like to have a variety and I enjoy Tetley teas in general.

I really enjoyed using this moisturizer. I was a bit confused at first by the labelling of "leave on mask" because in my mind a mask is something totally different. Once I confirmed that it was a basic facial moisturizer, I tried it out. I've been using it daily for the last 1.5 weeks.
I have oily skin with enlarged pores and get a bit of acne. I am starting to notice fine lines around the usual places as I get older. My skin is somewhat sensitive but tends to tolerate skin care products well.
It has been a nice addition to my skincare routine. I use it in the mornings, after cleansing and applying my serums. It absorbs quickly into the skin and leaves skin feeling smooth. It works well under makeup or on it's own for a no-makeup day.
I can't say I've noticed any differences in my skin, but I've only had it a short time and have a pretty thorough skin care routine already (where someone who doesn't may have noticed a change).
There is a slight scent which disapates quickly after applying. The moisturizer feels light and is a thinner consistency. I like the pump bottle, which makes accessing the product easier, since I have very long nails.
Overall, it is a bit pricey for my taste, but it's a quality product. I would consider buying it again if I see it's on sale.
