The first day I tried it, I noticed it wasn’t very moisturizing on my normal skin so I don’t believe this would be great for dry skin. So during the rest of the duration of my testing as I #gotitfree from Chick Advisor, I mixed it with my ELF moisturizer. The second ingredient is dimethicone which forms a layer over the skin, I think it makes it difficult for the moisturizing glycerin to penetrate properly. I’m still seeing a change in radiance and texture of my skin; but in my routine this would have to be a mix-in. If I continue to see results, I may repurchase as a mix in treatment. If not? Bon voyage. -

This did help to smooth out the texture of my skin and give it an appearance of radiance. Unfortunately I had to mix it with my other serum as it wasn’t very moisturizing. This might work better as a primer under make-up with added benefits rather than a “nourishing” serum. If your skin has a problem with dimethicone/ silicones I’d suggest staying away from this product as there are many silicones in this “serum”. I #gotitfree and I appreciate the opportunity to try it out :) but I’m unsure whether or not I will repurchase in the future. -
Neutrogena Bright Boost Moisturizer SPF 30

First of all, let me start by saying I have a sun allergy. So if it’s not protecting me, I can definitely tell. The formula is nice and lightweight, not greasy on the face. I felt as though it gave me adequate protection. I think $20 is a steep price considering the size of the bottle. The fragrance was a bit much for me unfortunately. I would rather a sunscreen just smell like sunscreen. I appreciate that I #gotitfree so that I could test it out though so thank you Chick Advisor! -

Pretty great scrub, nice and gentle. I noticed a difference in my sebaceous filaments and tiny little whiteheads I get in the creases of my nose after the first use. I like to leave it on my face for a couple minutes white in the shower to give the AHA’s time to penetrate. I’ve noticed no irritation. I am getting a few breakouts but that’s completely normal with AHA’s because it’s opening up the pores and letting the junk out.
The only reason I didn’t give it 5 stars all around is because the fragrance, while nice, just isn’t for me. I prefer fragrance free but that’s just my own personal preference.

This foundation honestly just looks like my skin when I wear it, I get so many compliments. I like to keep it at a medium coverage so my freckles can peek through but it can be built up. I love that it has antioxidants and Hyaluronic acid so that it helps my skin stay healthy and doesn’t just sit there like paint. I don’t enjoy the Doe foot applicator though and I wish they would switch to a pump. -

Leaves my skin feeling clean and soft. It’s also great for soothing irritation on the face. The sprayer makes it very bubbly (which I assume is on purpose) so i prefer to use it with a cotton pad. The ingredients list is impressive too, just a bunch of nice, natural oils and extracts. -

It’s been nearly impossible for me to find a mascara that gives me everything (length, volume, separation, lift, build able without clumping) but this is it! It’s really “Worth the Hype”. I’ve been asked many times if I’m wearing falsies. Nope! Just this simple $10 mascara that does it all!! -

This is the best hair lightenener I've ever tried. It's lightening power amazing! It works fast with minimal damage. There's quite a bit of product which is perfect if you have long hair (you probably won't need another box!). It retails anywhere from $6 to $8. Be aware that this formula is better to use in a bottle, it's a little runny. In case you're wondering, this is a CREAM lightener. It also comes with a deep conditioner, an amazing conditioner that leaves the hair silky smooth.
I'd recommend this product for those heavy duty lightening jobs.

I would recommend this for eyelash curler users or women who want a very natural look. With an eyelash curler, this mascara works like a dream to hold curl, gives you that perfect fan of lashes. Without one however, this mascara's brush doesn't create any sort of curl. The formula is extremely buildable without clumps (No spider legs here!). The formula is gel mousse thus very lightweight which means no itching, no heavy eye feeling throughout the day. I would, however, recommend the waterproof formula to completely avoid smudges. The one downside is the bendy wand, this mascara could have been perfect if it wasnt for that wand. The brush is decent, seems to work well to catch every lash, lengthen and volumize but if you want that dramatic look you'll have to build up to it.
Women with eyelash curlers: You should buy this!
Women who don't: Its going to be a gamble but I wouldnt recommend unless your eyelashes naturally curl or you're going for a very natural look.
