I have used countless different sunblocks for the face and body, and this new one from Neutrogena takes the cake - the name is appropriate - definitely a light-as-water texture to the sunscreen, and amazingly non-oily at all.
Great as a makeup base, and absorbs relatively quickly.
After hours of wearing it, no oily residue is formed, and skin feels comfortable. Not drying nor greasy.
I am still in search of the perfect physical (non-chemical) sunblock, but as far as chemical sunscreen products go, this one is #1.
Great price, excellent portability/size, amazingly light-weight texture and effectiveness.
Kudos, Neutrogena!

This eye cream lived up to its claims of being quickly absorbed and reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. It moisturizes well without being greasy at all, and the pump dispenses the proper amount in one pump to cover both eyes. The packaging is sleek and modern. This eye cream would be great for someone who is experiencing his/her first wrinkles around the eye but isn't yet requiring more advanced eye creams that contain collagen, retinol (Vitamin A), etc., that other companies like L'Oreal offer.
One feature i would appreciate Marcelle adding to this eye cream is SPF, since UV rays are the #1 contributor to wrinkles and visible signs of aging.
Otherwise, this product offers good value for someone with minimal wrinkles and fine lines who's needing an easily-absorbed, well-moisturizing eye cream that minimizes the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles around the eye.

I was very impressed with this mascara - it lengthened, thickened, and curled my lashes even without a lash curler, and i have superstraight lashes.
The only cons i noticed were minor clumping and fat handle - i have small hands, and the fat plastic handle made applying mascara less comfortable compared to other slimmer wand handles.
other than that, i'm very impressed with this product! would definitely purchase again!

i liked the chewy texture of the tiny dried cherry bits in the chocolate.....but i found the union between bitter dark chocolate and sour fruity bits wasn't so successful......i think the cherry bits would work better if they weren't so sour and if enveloped in a sweeter, milk chocolate bar. -
Nestlé Noir Intense
i loved this one out of the 4 i tried the best - creamy, smooth, and melts in your mouth! surpringly, not anywhere near as bitter as the Eclat Noir, which surprisingly has a lower dark chocolate content but is much more bitter.

while i enjoyed the novelty of the crunchy cocoa bean bits, i found this product to be way too bitter for my liking. If you want a dark chocolate which melts nicely in your mouth, go for Nestle Intense...which i found to be satisfying smooth. The Nestle Noir Cerise was nice, as well, for those who want something extra (like cherry bits!) in their chocolate. -

I, too, got this product from chickadvisor to review, and boy, am i glad i did! This product really impressed me from the get-go, with its fast absorption rate, sensitive skin-friendliness and lasting, smooth results. I loved how fast it absorbed into my skin, despite the deceiving thick consistency of it. The only thing i wasn't too happy with with was the above-average price (you tend to get a lot more creme for the same price at the drugstore), but the results really do speak for themselves, and i would definitely consider purchasing this for the wintertime, when i do get particularly dry skin. Overall, a high-quality drugstore cream great for the wintertime!
*Note: I also got the Lubriderm Advanced Moisture Therapy Hand Cream, and it is my absolute fave hand cream - it really does last through hand-washing with soap, so that you don't end up with the tight, dry feeling that typically results from a good hand-washing. I will definitely purchase this once my tube is used up! Highly recommended =)
