I received this product as a part of the Product Review Club.
Normally I use mascara that thickens and volumizes so I was a bit disappointed with the volume created by the GOSH double precision mascara.
However, it was the first time that I have ever put on mascara and not felt like I was actually wearing any. It was also the first time that I have really tried on my own to apply product to my lower lashes.
It does achieve a really nice look but it's a lot more subtle than I liked. Overall it was a great product, though.

I've never really given my eyebrows a second thought beyond plucking and trimming them so I wasn't sure how useful I'd find this product.
I finally gathered the courage to try it out and was pleasantly surprised. Although the colour looked slightly lighter than my brows, it made my brows look more full and even. It's definitely a product that I'll try to use more often going forward.

I received this product as a part of the Product Review Club.
I never wear lip stick or gloss so I wasn't exactly thrilled to try this out. Especially the colour I was sent to try.
Because of the colour, I only tried it once and almost immediately took it off, but not before blotting it and giving it a kiss test or two. Maybe I didn't wait long enough, but the colour rubbed off a lot.
I probably wasn't the best subject to try this product on :)

I was sent this item as a part of the Product Review Club.
I have been using the Maybelline mineral powder for years as I like more of a matte finish over my foundation, so I was excited to try it out.
The product sent to me seemed a bit darker than I needed (I'm pretty fair skinned) but with a little bit of a glow from the summer sun, wasn't too far off from my skin tone. However, I think in a few months it won't be as light as I need it to be.
However, the product does go on very well and gives me great coverage and finish.

I received two boxes to review; sweet and salty and butter flavours.
Overall, my partner and I liked them as we quickly devoured both boxes, but the flavours weren't really there.
Other products that are sweet and salty definitely have more flavour than the Special K chips, which were sweet but weren't salty. I guess they saved all of the salt for the butter ones as they were super salty to me and not buttery at all to my partner.
The texture of them was noticeably different after being open for a day, but it actually made them more appealing to me than having just opened the bag.
I did find it funny that they are marketing them as a chip but package them in a box. I thought of them more as crackers than anything else.
They're a great value in terms of calories where you can eat a big handful for under 100 calories, but they aren't something I would go out of my way to buy.

I was excited to try this as it claims to have built in primer and I'm tired of the creases I see by the end of the day.
Sadly, this product started to crease within 10 minutes of applying it to my eyelids and would only last until noon if I used it as a base/primer for another eye shadow colour.

Really enjoy yoga especially hot yoga but wasn't able to find one in my neighbourhood that I liked. When iam opened last year, I was THRILLED and tried their free classes and then signed up for a pass at a discounted rate.
I've had nothing but great experiences there; the staff are warm and welcoming, the instructors are wonderful and the facility is beautiful.
Definitely check them out!

-Tested "Mad for Mauve" & "Pink Persuasion"
-Overall experience was pretty good. I found the application brush was not effective at all in achieving the desired result. Having a set of brushes is really key as well as some sort of primer as the shadow does disappear by the end of the day. The application is very smooth though and does give a great look. How was your overall experience using this product?
-Not only does the set layout itself give you an idea of how your look should be applied, but the image on the back of the container is handy for those who may be a bit inept at the art of make up application. I found the web site helpful as well for giving two looks that can be achieved for each palette as well.
-i opted for the subdued look when using both palettes. Although I may be adventurous with colour, I'm not bold in application.
-My coworker did notice the new colours. The purples and greens are complimentary to my eye colour and are colours I don't often wear. so she noticed right away.
-I found the palette was about right for the price and would probably purchase another.

Probably one of the best devices that I've ever purchased.
I was always looking for a portable device to bring to conferences to surf, take notes, twitter, rather than a laptop, but was also good for entertainment on commutes, etc.
An iTouch really does it all.
Although it's a little cumbersome for music on the go (running or the gym), it's the applications and other uses it has built into it that make me forget about it and, well, forgive it a little.
Plus, there are sportbands and cases that can be purchased that can make it less bulky during activity.
Great device.

Honestly, it's overrated.
The games themselves get boring really fast.
It's the board that you REALLY need and the technology of it is so impressive.
Being able to play it with other games such as Raving Rabbids TV Party where you play with your bum is so much more fun.
Yoga poses move over - playing with your bum - priceless!
