I too was able to review this through the Product Review club so here are the results:
1. How did you like this product on its own merits? (eg. ease of use, wear, etc)
First of all, I have to tell you that I love mascara I cannot go a day without and absolutely love the look of dark, full lashes. Having said that, the first thing I noticed about this product is that it clumps even after a single coat and good luck trying to get those clumps out. I was pretty disappointed considering I haven't had clumps in years! Second, I use a Shu eyelash curler to get some serious curl in my lashes but I was surprised to see my lashes completely weighed down and pretty skimpy looking by the end of the day.
2. How does this mascara compare to wearing false eyelashes?
No contest. If you like the look of false lashes, I wouldn't recommend this as a substitute.
3. How does this mascara compare to your usual volumizing mascara?
As I mentioned, I have rarely experienced clumps but this mascara really brought on the clumps and on top of that made my lashes look pretty lack lustre by the end of the day so again, I'm going to stick with what I have.
4. Would you buy this product again and/or recommend it to a friend?
I wanted to love it, but probably not.

First off, let me start off by saying that I love MAC shadows because of the pigmentation and lasting power but am equally as smitted with some drug store brands.
I received the Taupe and Gold palettes through ChickAdvisor. At first touch they feel velvety smooth and the colour looks really bright and vibrant. On application, the colour is quite sheer and quite sparkly. If you're looking for a work/day look, I would be careful as the shimmer is quite apparent. You may be better off using it for a night out. Having said that, if you want a nice colour payoff, it's going to require lots of layers. I would have preferred a lot less shimmer and a lot more pigmentation. It also fades quickly, even under UDPP so if you want it to last, you may need to carry it around for touch-ups.

The three most important things when it comes to body wash are texture, scent and moisture level!
This is a very creamy, smooth bodywash which leaves skin feeling soft and moisturized. It is very lightly scented so you don't smell it on your skin after you wash it off. Personally, I like a bodywash that has a bit more scent to it but if you're not into strong scents, you may prefer this.
If you're looking for an exfoliating bodywash, this is not be the product for you, but if you're looking for something lightly scented, that's gentle and creamy, this will do it.

Olay has just introduced Colour Recapture - it's a serum, moisturizers and light foundation all in one! I absolutely love this, it's one easy step in the morning! It provides light, natural coverage, keeps skin super hydrated and all I need to do is add some concealer and I'm ready to go!

This is a no-brainer blush. You can quickly add a bit of colour and glow to your face without even having to think. The colour is a wonderful peachy-pink colour with a bit of shimmer. I find the shimmer can be a bit overpowering for day if you put on more than a light layer of the blush, but it can definitely be used all over for a wonderful glowy look. -

This refining mask is super helpful in drying out cystic acne without drying out your skin. Personally, I use the Proactiv facial cleanser, toner and cream every day and it is the ONLY thing that has kept my acne under control. Seriously...even when I was on vacation and slathering my face with SPF 55, which would normally make me break out like mad, Proactiv kept me clear. This is HG stuff! -

This is one lipgloss that has some serious lasting power! The colours are all pretty sheer and just give a hint of colour but leave lips feeling moisturized and shiny for hours. I have it in Bloom and the sheer pink is just the right amount of colour and shine to look polished but not too put together. -

I have long wavy hair that I dye every 4 or 5 months. I was super excited to try this and see how it compares to my regular Aveda spray shine.
The good news is that it did make my hair shinier but I was expecting something more - no one noticed that my hair was shinier than usual. I don't think it's any better than some shine serums on the market, but it's supposed to last for 6 months so maybe I can give my serums a rest. There was more than enough product to coat my hair which is down to the middle of my back. It did smell a bit chemical-y but less so than regular hair dye and the conditioner included is great! For the price I think it's a good buy.
