Got to try the Aveeno Oat Mask - Detox for free from ChickAdvisor.
Overall it’s a great mask, I have a very oily t zone and usually have a breakout or two. The mask is very creamy and spreads nicely on the skin. It has a pleasant scent unlike many other masks. I found that after 10 minutes it was mostly dry but it still felt pliable, and didn’t crackle. It was very easy to rinse off with a damp washcloth. My skin felt balanced afterwards. I did my usual skin and makeup routine after and noticed that my tzone wasn’t anywhere near as greasy mid day and my makeup looked fantastic, and I didn’t notice any new breakouts in the days following. I would prefer a lighter scent but that was the only major drawback I noticed. I would definitely recommend it, it balanced my skin the same as my go to origins out of trouble mask at a fraction of the price I will probably purchase in the future.

NIVEA 2-in-1 Moisturizing Primer Dry to Sensitive Skin

This is a great light weight primer. It helped keep both my long wear and lighter foundations in place for much longer than heavy silicone primers.
I was sent this through the ChickAdvisor Product Review Club to try for free. I got to try it out a couple times under both my double wear and fit me foundations. I have been quite oily lately particularly over my nose, and super dry across my cheeks. Usually about half way through the day foundation across my nose has melted off and my cheeks are starting to look flakey. With this primer I got through a solid 8 hours before my nose had any bit of shine, and after 12 hours (and a very long waitressing shift) my cheeks still looked perfect. I think I have found my new go to primer. The only draw back is the scent, if you have very sensitive skin this may be a deal breaker for you, but I found that it faded away after about 10 minutes.

Works very well to hydrate skin, particularly during the winter when the air is very dry and I experience fairly bad dry patches. It is a bit heavy for the summer. A few foundations don't sit well over top and tend to slide around but that being said it is a minor adjustment of you are experiencing very dry skin. I haven't experienced any breakouts since I began using it. Would highly recommend. -
Bioderma Sensibio H2O Make-Up Removing Micellar Solution

Worth its weight in gold, it removes everything including waterproof eye makeup. I like soaking a cotton square in it and letting my eye makeup soak under it, it then removes without tugging. There is no residue and my skin has never been left dry or tight from it. It's on of my HG products. -

Very hydrating, and makes hair manageable, I have seen a drastic reduction in breakage as well. I use it as a deep conditioner after I get a full head of highlights and my hair extremely dry and in need of some help. It has a lovely lavender smell (similar to the regular shampure but with more lavender). Far superior to other drugstore masks that I have tried, I don't use it all that often so it has lasted me quite a while (I have the rest of the line and it usually does the job to beep my hair hydrated). I would recommend to anyone who has colour treated hair that becomes brittle and breaks easily. -

Amazing line, I have the shampoo, conditioner and mask. All are wonderful products. The whole line is quite pricy but you need so little product to get the job done. I have very long hair and I generally need less than a mL of conditioner, so a single smaller bottle lasts a very long time. The line has done wonders for my hair, usually after highlighting my hair gets fairly dry and tangly, after the conditioner it is no longer a problem and my hair looks healthy and smooth. My only issue is with the conditioner is that you have to rinse your hair extremely well, if there is even the slightest residue left it weighs your hair down and makes it look greasy, but a slightly longer rinse remedies that problem. If you have dry or damages hair this is a miracle. -

The dry remedy shampoo is amazing, the scent is incredible and it cleans your hair without stripping it. I find that you need a very small amount of product. I have waist length hair and I usually use less than a mL per wash, so a single bottle lasts forever I find the price is justifiable because of this (if you find it isn't lathering you just add a bit of water). It is sulphate free so this is a huge plus for me. -

Works well to make blonde look less brassy but you do need quite a large amount to fully get it through your hair which is drastically different from other Aveda products that I have and use regularly. I don't mind brassy tones my hair so I'm not sure if I will repurchase but if you dislike it and prefer to have a cleaner more white blonde I would recommend as it does do a great job. -
Gelish Soak-off Gel Polish

Quite pricey to start your own at home kit but the polishes are very long wearing the colour range is impressive but I do have a qualm with some of the light pink and purple polishes, they are notorious for fading (go girl, so sweet your giving me a tooth ache & it's a Lilly all fade to brown/taupe). Other than those colours I haven't had a problem, I have close to 30 polishes, and love the vast majority of them, the quality is fairly consistent, and with proper application no problems with getting it to last well beyond 2 weeks, the high shine does loose a bit of lustre over time but it still looks incredible when removal time comes around. -

Works well, leaves skin very smooth. The first time I used it it burned quite badly, but I haven't had the same reaction since, at most it has been a bit warming. I haven't had any flakiness or peeling after, just a significant reduction in acne flare ups. I wouldn't use the included brush as it causes you to loose a lot of product to the brush, I just apply with fingers and wash them well afterwards. -
