the tried and tested for years vaseline cream is my go to cream. my mother has been using this cream for years on me since I was a baby and I would never think of switching to anything else. I have used others here and there, but always come back to vaseline. super fresh scents, a variety of sizes to choose from, super soft on the skin and doesn't leave any stickiness or residue behind. This lotion is amazing! -
Q-Tips Precision Tips Cotton Swabs
i love Q-tips, what a wonderful invention! and although this invention is a great idea, the precision tips are great too. but I don't feel they are worth the extra money. the regular ones are just as great.

this gel is awesome. my hair is quite long and thick and very curly. when I switched to this brand just to try it out, it turned out to do a better job than the other brands I was using. I love even more that I found something that's not so expensive too compared to salon gels. -

i tried Batiste Dry Shampoo Dark and Deep Brown as I got it free from chick advisor.
not really a big fan of dry shampoo as it normally leaves a thick dusty film in my hair but this one is alright. only because it matches better with my hair color. it still makes it feel thicker and a bit sticky at first. you have to get used to it.

the price is average, but the quality of the product isn't that great, neither is the effectiveness.
it left a pastey pink substance on my lips and didn't find it moisturizing at all. I prefer the clear ones.

I tried the NIVEA Q10plus Anti-Wrinkle Serum Pearls as I got it free from chickadvisor.
it's smells weird, so I use it mainly at night as a night cream. I'm not a big fan of Nivea creams and it's only been 1 week since I received the product so I can't really say much on it's effectiveness. but the quality seems to be there and the price is average.

I’m not sure of what the use of this product is. Why not just call it makeup remover? Because it certainly is not a cleanser nor is it water. I don’t wear much makeup as it is, so this product was lost on me from the beginning. I tried using it on the nights I did wear a bit of makeup, mainly eyeliner, mascara and lipstick. I found myself wasting cotton pads and this product to no end, whereas simply using water and my usual face cleanser would have been enough. Then, I began thinking about the times when I did wear a lot of makeup, this product would still not do the job, I would still want to use my cleanser and water to truly feel clean. I think this is another wasteful product on the market that provides no exceptional benefit, except to the corporations who get people to buy things they do not need. -

I've really enjoyed using Garnier SkinActive Clearly Brighter Moisturizer. I like that the product did not feel greasy or oily as the product claims. It has a very pleasant texture and smell, thick without being pasty. I best thing about the Moisturizer is the fact that it contains spf, but is not high enough as other product that I use. Despite that, I have used it nearly every day since received and haven't really noticed any major differences on my skin for me to say yes my skin is truly better and brighter as I saw no difference in skin tone. It does absorb rather quickly into my skin, and doesn't leave it feeling like the moisture is just sitting on my face in that greasy kind of way.
What I did not like is that Benzyl Salicylate an ingredient (the tenth listed) known as an allergen used for several different purposes, primarily for fragrance. I did not have an allergic reaction otherwise my rating would have been lower. Also there's limonene and linalool, which can cause contact dermatitis, again, I did not experience this. But I don't see why these ingredients are included in moisturizers and sunscreens, so I'm not sure if I will purchase this product in the future even though it was pleasant to use. My quest to find a product without these harmful ingredient continues as I am not aware of any value fragrance additives have in sunscreens and other face products.
In summary, I liked the product, even though I haven't noticed that much difference in my skins overall appearance in the past couple of weeks of use. I will continue to use it until finished because it is a good, non-greasy moisturizer that is light on my skin and has sunscreen to protect it. I’ll just use it on not so sunny days.
