Dove® Advanced Care Clear Tone Sheer Touch Antiperspirant
I really like this Dove Antiperspirant which provides long-lasting results and dryness. Although it goes on clear, it did start to flake later in the day. I would recommend giving it a try!

I received this as a free sample from @Sephora and having used other peels before, I was skeptical about using a multi-step product. However, I will admit that this is a fantastic product and much better than I anticipated.
The process begins with an exfoliation, followed by a lemon peel, and ending with a chamomile mask. Right after you use it, you notice a difference due to the exfoliation, and over the course of time, notice the difference due to the peel. I could do without the chamomile mask as I don't enjoy the smell of chamomile, and I find it to to be an unnecessary step.
The product is costly, but worth it if you plan on investing in a peel. Be certain to apply sunscreen and avoid sunlight after its use, as it is quite irritating to the skin, especially with UV exposure and sunlight.

Smartwater or dumbwater? I'm someone who doesn't believe that water, a basic necessity in life, should cost a cent, and the fact that this overpriced water that is 'inspired by the clouds' and endorsed by celebrities, doesn't make it anything more than H20!!! Apparently electrolytes have been added for 'taste'; however, this is just nonsense.
I would rather drink tap water..or water from a garden hose...or from a public fountain..all free!!!!

Thank you @ChickAdvisor for letting me try this product as I #gotitfree ! This cream claims to 'visibly smooth the apperance of wrinkles, providing a more youthful looking complexion,' although I cannot admit that it lived up to its claims after over a month of use. It is lightweight and absorbs quite well, providing and adequate amount of hydration; however, it simply does not live up to its promise.
I would not recommend its use for the intended purposes that they have claimed.

Thank you @ChickAdvisor for this product which I #gotforfree. The idea behind this eye serum is to provide anti-wrinkle and illuminating properties; however, in my personal experience, it didn't live up to its claims. Although I do not have any allergies to cosmetic products, I found this one to be irritating to my eyes and surrounding skin. After a month of use, I can honestly say that I didn't notice any significant results.
I would not recommend this product overall.

I really love the Cover FX brand and have been a customer for years. However, they recently changed their color formulations, which unfortunately leaves many of us to try to figure out which 'new' shade we are based on the older shades we used to use.
I was advised to give the custom cover drops a try, and as someone who is used to their heavy-duty cream concealer, I was a bit hesistant to try this product. I was pleasantly surprised as to the coverage provided with a very minimal amount of product used. I did try applying it with my fingers, but I have also used the Cover FX brush that is specific to this product, which is basically a very short stipple brush. I have had excellent results with both methods, resulting in flawless coverage.
I will definitely be using this product again, although my 'go to' is still the cream concealer in the original 'M' shades if I can still find it....

This is one of the oddest food products that I've ever tried, and reminds me of powdered milk. Basically, you take this powdered PB powder and add water, resulting in something that is supposed to resemble and taste like peanut butter....but it doesn't. They advertise it as being lower in calories and 85% less fat..but it's also 85% less in taste and quality.
I'm not sure what demographic or customer this is supposed to appeal to - perhaps those who want the PB flavour without the calories, but are willing to compromise on the taste. For me, I would rather enjoy actual PB and the nutritional benefits of proteins and healthy fats and calories that it has to offer.

I used this product for several months as a trial to see if it would live up to the promise of 'visibly smoother, younger-looking skin' with 'improved skin hydration' and overall I was disappointed. It does have 10% glycolic acid which is the highest concentration allowed in non-prescription products, but after many months of trying this on several different body parts, including the hands, arms, and legs, I can't say that I noticed a difference.
In fact, if you overuse this product it will cause skin irritation given the glycolic acid, so you also have to be careful about protection from the sun as well.
I wouldn't recommend this product based on the lack of its effectiveness.

I'd like to thank ChickAdvisor for sending me this product, so I #gotitfree and admittedly I had such high hopes that it would be a great toner and cleanser. Unfortunately, this isn't the case. It does not remove makeup well and in fact, requires a great deal of the product in order to take any makeup off. Furthermore, it cannot remove any 'waterproof' makeup at all such as eyeliners, mascara and even lip products.
I wouldn't recommend this product as it does not live up to its promise as a cleansing solution, especially for the price. But thanks for letting me give it a try!

Clinique High Impact Extreme Volume Mascara
I had 'high' expectations of this mascara but I was disappointed overall. It's incredibly wet and doesn't dry quickly, which results in a big messy eyelid. The wand doesn't adequately separate the lashes, so not only is it wet, but it's very clumpy... +
I had 'high' expectations of this mascara but I was disappointed overall. It's incredibly wet and doesn't dry quickly, which results in a big messy eyelid. The wand doesn't adequately separate the lashes, so not only is it wet, but it's very clumpy as well.
I wouldn't recommend this and I won't be using it again.
