This primer makes my skin look brighter, smoother and more even toned. It gives a nice youthful, dewy glow without looking greasy. The primer has a pink color and blends like a dream. It has the look and feel of a moisturizer. The twist top at the base is convenient making it so you can twist out the desired amount. Very little product is needed but yields wonderful results. Although I still prefer Smashbox primers over all other primers this one is still really good. Although I find the packaging looks cheap. Like one of the previous reviewers said it looks like a glue stick tube. Although I like pretty packaging this works well so I can overlook the fact that this doesnt. I am happy with almost all the Benefit products I have tried ao far. -

This cream is so gentle and soothing. My skin was feeling irritated, red and slightly burning. It semed to get irritated even more when I used my regular skin care routine. I switched to Avene Tolerance Extreme Cream and it soothed my irritated skin after a few applications and it got rid of my red, burning skin. This cream is perfect for the winter months. It moisturizes my normal/ combination skin without making it look greasy. It seems to leave a protective barrier on the skin which is perfect in these cold winter months. I definitely reccomend Avene products to any one that has sensitive skin. It even says its for hypersensitive and allergic skin. This is one of my favorite skin care brands. I have been using their products off and on for the past twenty three years. I would definitely reccomend this to my family and friends. -

This is a cream exfoliator that helps moisturize, repair and protect the skin as well as exfoliate. Its non abrasive making it more gentle than the typical exfoliant which usually contains beads or granules. After leaving this on for the reccomended ten minutes my skin definitely looks and feels softer. Although it contains niacinamide I didnt notice my skin looking any brighter than usual. I received this in my Fab Fit Fun box a while back. Although it seems great for those with sensitive skin looking for a gentler form of exfoliation I probably wont repurchase when this tube runs out. I'm still going to continue on with my usual brand until I find one that works better. -

I am fortunate to have received the Dercos shampoo and concentrate for free from Chick Advisor. However when I found out this was part of a 3 step routine I went to Pharmaprix and picked up the restoring thickening balm. I'm glad I did because using these three products together has given me more body and volume along with the appearance of thicker hair. This balm moisturizes without weighing the hair down. It has a menthol/citrus scent which some may not like but I find invigorating. It rinses out easily and leaves my scalp feeling tingly and clean.
Although I have only used the densi-solutions products a few times I'm already seeing results. As of yet it doesnt seem to be helping with hair loss but I'm hoping with continuous use I will see even more results. I will definitely update my review on all three Dercos densi-solutions products after a few months of using them once I know the full effect of long term use.

I received this along with the Vichy Dervos Densi-Solutions Thickening Shampoo through Chick Advisor and I have to say I have very high hopes for this product. On the box there is a before and after picture of a girl that has very thin, scraggly hair. In the following picture her hair is thicker and fuller. Underneath it states that the results are from six week use of the shampoo, concentrate and balm. This photo is what inspired me to go and purchase the balm to use along with this and the shampoo. I have only been using this for a short period of time but im pleased with the results so far.
Although the instructions of how to apply this concentrate are very clear and easy to follow how often you should use it is not. I had to call the vichy customer service and ask them if I use it daily or only when I wash my hair. The representative I talked to said to use it once daily. I wish this would have been written in the directions so I wouldnt had to go out of my way and call them to ensure I was using this correctly to get the maximum results.
The concentrate in my opinion has a citrus scent like the shampoo but with a sort of medicinal undertone. The consistency is water like and absorbs into the scalp easily. It doesnt weigh down my hair or leave it feeling greasy. In fact in the short time since i have been using these products my hair has more body and volume. It also looks healthier and has more shine. I cant wait to see the long term results of using these products. Having kids took a toll on my hair and Im hoping Vichy Dercos Densi-Solutions will be "the" solution. #gotitfree

Although this shampoo wasnt very sudsy it left my hair feeling very clean and light. It didnt weigh it down at all. I enjoyed the citrus scent that lingered long after I washed my hair. Although I didnt notice too much of an increase in volume after my first wash I did read that this shampoo is meant to be used with the balm and concentrate in order to be fully effective. Although chick Advisor provided me with the shampoo and concentrate I went to pharmaprix and purchased the balm on my own since I want the full effect of these products. When I used the shampoo along with the balm and concentrate I noticed my hair looked healthier, shinier and more voluminous. Cannot wait to see the long term continuous results. #gotitfree -

This is a gentle cream cleanser that I have been using twice daily for the past few weeks.in the morning I apply a small amount of cleanser to my face using soft circular motion. Afterwards I wipe off with a cotton pad and my face is left feeling soft and well moisturized. I use a toner afterward to get rid of anything left behind. At the end of the day use this cleanser again except I rinse it off with water. It gets rid of all my makeup, including hard to remove mascara easily and effectively. It does contain fragrance but it's very light and disappears soon after washing. -

This mascara is a dark brown mascara which I personally like. I find it more natural looking and perfect for day to day wear. I like very natural looking makeup and that is exactly what this is. It does lengthen my eyelashes somewhat and gives it a bit of volume. Even after a long day at work it stays put. No smudging whatsoever. This makeup is sweatproof and waterproof making it especially perfect for the hot summer days as well as the beach.I also love the bright color of the mascara wand. It's definitely easy to find in my makeup bag. -
Otter Box Symettry Series For LG G4

I was looking for a new phone case that is durable and will protect my phone from drops. My partner has an Otter Box Commuter series for his S5 and I find it too bulky and hard to hold in my small hands. I prefer something smaller and more sleek so that's why I decided to go with the symetry series.
The one he had was a rubber, three piece phone cover. Mine is conveniently a one piece sleek, plastic case with rubber surrounding the front screen. I love that the back is a bright pink and the rubber surrounding the screen is grey. It makes for a nice contrast. I also like that the charging port and all other ports are easily accessible.
This case not only looks cute but it has a shock absorbing interior and has certified drop protection. It feels sleek and comfortable in the hand and not as bulky as some of the other Otter Box Series. Not to mention It is very durable. Although it says on the package it's not compatible with the Leather LG G4 that is what I have and it fits like a glove. I do find for the price of an Otter Box they should include a screen protector.

They did an impeccable job at replicating a carrot cake flavor in cookie form. Although the frosting contains no cream cheese in the ingredients it still has a cream cheese flavor. You get the cinnamon and nutmeg flavor just as you would in a carrot cake. Although these cookies are not double stuffed I feel they have slightly more frosting than a regular oreo. If comparing to a regualr oreo this is definitely more crunchy. Out of all the new flavors of oreo this is not my favorite but still pretty good. -
