As a member of the Product Review Club, I received a full-sized (1.0 US FL OZ) sample of Nutriganics Smoothing Serum in exchange for my honest review.
I have been using this product daily (morning and evening) for a little over two weeks.
Initially, I found the scent to be a bit off-putting and felt that there was too much thyme aroma. After application, the scent quickly dissipates and was something that I became used to (and even grew fond of) within a few uses.
I found this product to be a bit runny compared to what I expect from a serum, but it is lightweight & non-greasy, spreads easily, and absorbs quickly into my skin - leaving it feeling dewy.
The directions suggest that this serum be applied before moisturizing. After just four days of use, I no longer felt the need to apply a separate moisturizer, since the serum had noticeably increased the level of moisture in my skin.
I love that this product is organic with 99% of its ingredients from natural origin. I will definitely recommend it to others, since It has provided me with what I feel is softer and more resilient facial skin.

Although the price is a bit higher than I usually pay for eyeliner, I will be purchasing this item in the future.
It is easy to apply and goes on very smooth. The liner stays put without fading or smudging which is hard to say for some other brands. Whether you like a thin or thick line or a combination of both, you will be able to do it easily with this liner. There is a built-in sharpener and even a smudger on the end which I find quite useful.

Neutrogena Healthy Volume Mascara

The package claims that you will have "400% fuller lashes" and the brush will "grab and coat even the smallest lashes" --- I beg to differ. The brush is akward to use because it is so large and makes it hard to reach smaller lashes. The first application is barely noticeable which makes a second application necessary. Even after the second application, I see no great difference. I would much rather purchase a cheaper mascara to achieve the same results. -

I very much enjoyed testing this lip balm for the Product Review Club. I love that it is 100% natural and has organic ingredients so you can feel confident that you are using a safe and effective product. They do not test on animals which is also very important to me.
The tube is about the size of a piece of chalk and tucks conveniently into almost any pocket. Application is smooth and regardless of how much you put on, there is no color whatsoever. You don't have to worry about the white clumps which sometimes result from other balms. The scent smells just like fresh pomegranate seeds upon application and then quickly fades. It makes my lips feel so smooth and keeps them moisturized for hours. I have used Softlips balms in the past and I can easily say this performs just as well and has become my new flavor of choice.

I was fortunate enough to test this lip balm through the Product Review Club. I am not a hugh fan of cucumber, so I was a bit reluctant to test this flavor. It is actually quite pleasant. There is a slight-sweet smell of cucumber upon application which fades after a few minutes and there is amazingly no flavor at all. It is 100% natural and contains organic ingredients so you do not have to worry if you have sensitive lips because it does not contain chemicals. Upon the first application I noticed immediate results. My lips became kissably smooth without any stickiness or waxy feel. I suggest you go get a tube and pamper your lips a bit. You deserve it. -

The Glade Sense & Spray is a battery powered, automatic air-freshener that is motion activated. The unit only releases scent when a shadow is cast upon the sensor from up to five feet away. It will not spray again for 30 minutes unless you manually push the button located on the front. I recommend the unit for entry ways - especially the bathroom. As an individual passes by, a poof of fragrance is automatically released which quickly fills the room without being over-powering. I would like to be able to use this around my cat's litter box, but I am afraid that her curiosity might result in a poof of fragrance up her nose :) For that location, I will stick to my regular Glade Plug-In unit.
The Glade Sense & Spray requires a special refill which is available for about $3.99 in Apple Cinnamon, Clean Linen, or Powder Fresh scent.

I received this as a wonderful Valentine's day present and couldn't be more thrilled. I have gotten so many compliments from co-workers and friends about how pleasant the fragrance is. It is a bit like the original "Romance" scent, but is much more feminine and light. (If you love the original Romance, you should definitely try Romance Always Yours for an uplifting change.) It provides a fresh, clean, everyday scent, with light floral accents that would seem to work with any woman's natural chemistry. A little dab lasts a long time without being over-powering. -

This particular whitening system is the most difficult to use that I have tried. The extremely thin strips became tangled prior to application and stuck to my lips as I tried to place them on my teeth. The taste is awful and takes some time to get used to. Each strip took about 20-25 minutes to dissolve, which is much longer than the box suggests and bits of the product remained between my teeth and required brushing for removal. I did manage to use the whole box (minus the first few that became so tangled during application that they had to be tossed) and saw very little results. -

After using this product for approximately 8 weeks, I saw no visible improvement in fine lines, texture, or firmness in my skin. I was hopeful, but clearly disappointed. I used this product nightly after a gentle cleanser and toner and it felt very thick and sticky. Being in my late 20's, my skincare needs are not too sophisticated, however, I would like to preserve the radiance of my skin and as well as reduce fine lines and stimulate collagen. I was consistant with product application and was not moved by my results to repurchase.

I've used this product twice a week for about three months and think it is great. The scent is refreshing and it provides smooth skin as it cleanses the pores. It can be a little harsh on sensitive skin, and cause slight redness which disappears after a few minutes. -
