Through the product review club I received Dove's latest body wash - Deep Moisture Nourishing Body Wash . Not too sound biased but I only use Dove products on a daily basis so I will compare this to previous products used such as Go Fresh Cool Moisture and Burst.
This product lhas a thick consistent texture which lathers nicely with water providing and subtly scented aroma when showering. **This does not last long like the Go Fresh line**.
I noticed when washing the product went on smooth and silky, however I did not notice a dramatic difference in moistured skin.
This wash provided just a slightly more smooth finish on my skin than other products used ( I shave very often). Of course, this is not replace body lotion but it was a great pre-requesite to softer skin!
I do recommend this product for those with normal to dry skin, but not for extra dry chicas. Also, if this was infused with exoliating beads it would make the product more appealing to me as it cuts down on time.

By far, Breyers Double Churn Chocolate Cheesecake was my absolute favourite. I like chocolate (not so much in ice cream), but I love love love cheesecake so this was the most exciting taste test yet! The texture absolutely smooth, the chocolate was subtle yet refreshing to my taste buds and the cheesecake flavour was not even overwhelming at all. There was a hint of cheese, but it's hard to decipher what it is initially. The more I ate (and yes I shared), the more I became fascinated with such a distinct taste. My 2 gals and I 1 def. chose this one as the best of the 3 to taste... you can't go wrong... why make a cheesecake when you can indulge it with ice-cream!
Great job Breyers... what will you think of next? Can't wait =)

Breyers Double Churn Banana Cream. I was worried since previous experiences on banana flavoured products are overbearing in scent and taste. Let me say, MMMMMMM..... the banana flavour is subtle but sweet, the graham pieces was like eating a pie in the mid of the summer! I hosted a girl's nite in, and though 2 out of 3 really enjoyed this, the other simply isn't a banana fan. We also created smoothies out of this ice cream and it tasted really good!
For a fruity taste with ice cream satisfaction, I praise Breyers on this Banana-licious dessert!

Breyers rocks!
I love ice-cream but no so much of a chocolate flavoured fan, so I hosted a girl's night in and let's just say, I'm a huge lover of CHOCOLATE now. Double Churn Dark Chocolate Velvet is smooth, creamy and just a hint of sweetness which totally through my perception of dark chocolate = bitterness out the window. All of us loved how yummy this was and we even topped it with whipped cream and fruit. It definitely makes for a delicious dessert! The price is a bit high for what I typically pay for ice-cream, but I definitely recommend this indulgence!

This foundation is very lightweight. Unlike some heavy matte foundations on the market today, this "heavenly" mousse product easily glided on my face without weighing imy face down. The result - sheer application, moderate coverage and breathe-easy skin! This was especially important to me as I am an avid user of matte products but never liked the heaviness of wearing so much makeup.
The mousse, soft in touch and easily blendable, covered the uneveness of my complexion (redness, and most of my freckles) and by the end of the day, it still looked fresh! I chose the shade Nude as there wasn't a tester in the store, and wow, did it match perfectly - what you see in the bottle is pretty much what to expect in the application process.
The pump was easy to use (no clumping) and 1.5 of a pump was good enough for face coverage. I even tried it with a primer and Maybelline powder right after and it was like being face ready for a rolling camera!
I definitely recommend this product for the sensitive skin gals out there (I did not break out once) and for those who like the coverage sans the masked feeling.
Enjoy!

Got the Maybelline Colossal Masacra and let me just say I was skeptical of all the claims being made (i.e. "9x bigger"). But I gave it a go.
First, WOW... the brush handle was easy to hold onto and actual bristles are very compact taking in the perfect amount of mascara (no need to pump).
As I applied it, I noticed an instant difference with my lashes. Mind you I already have really long ones where ppl think they're fake (previously using L'Oreal's Voluminous), but this sure made them even super long with a bit of help from an eye lash curler (unfortunately this does not give the added curl affect). I won't say this masacra makes lashes 9x longer/thicker, perhaps 5-6X. I usually apply 2-3 coats for a dramatic look, but I only needed one coat for this mascara. The texture is smooth. The collagen in this product definitely makes eyelashes look very natural and plump them up right away.
However, I get overly excited when mascaras claim no clumping, but sure enough there were some tiny ones which had to be combed through. Also, this product is limited in shades and should come in waterproof.
Overall, if you want dramatic lashes with the help of a curler... this is your DREAM mascara!!!
Enjoy!

I seldomly use concealer... but the Mineral Power Concealer in Cream did its job well. It has a creamy texture with a matte finish. Using it alone, I found that it did not blend in as nicely; however, I mixed it in with a bit of foundation to cover up some imperfections and I found this trick made it easier to apply. I felt a bit too made up when using this product.. so then I realized you need the smallest drop to cover pretty much all your blemishes/"late night" circles for the day.
Quick tip: Use a cotton swab/concealer brish to apply the product. The dip stick hold A LOT of concealer and will dip more than you need.

By far... my favourite product from Maybelline's line.
I'm an avid user of liquid foundation, so trying Maybelline's version in Light Beige was exciting. Steering away from Clinique was hard, but I was soooo surprised to see that a small drop of this product can be spread so far on the face and so easily too!!! It does seem runny when squeezed out, but the coverage for me was just like Clinique; matte (without any heaviness), lightweight... I'm still wearing it right now after 12 hours and no touch up, my pores appear smaller (always a plus), and hid my imperfections well... no redness or freckles.
The price is well worth it. I lucked out picking a colour that matched well... try before you buy! I will continue to buy this and recommend to my chicks!!!
P.S. The Finish Veil is the perfect topper for this... makes my skin flawless. Thanks!

Being a bronzing type of gal, I was a bit nervous trying out the Original Rose Power Blush. Thoughts of the 80's and shocking pink came to mind. However, this shade rocks! Not only was the colour subtle, it was a soft, natural pink... almost like you're not wearing anything at all. I noticed a few sparkles on my cheeks, so not for the matte lovers. Application was easy, HOWEVER be weary of blush brush provided; it holds too much product. You have to tap it excessively, trust me... product will stay be applied.
P.S. A lot of ppl compliments my glow and it's perfect for the office!!!

I was thrilled to try the Mineral Loose Powder in Nude as I'm not a user of this type of coverage. With an open mind, I tried it. Yes, it's VERY LIGHTWEIGHT and made my pores smaller, and luckily unscented; for sensitive skin, this rocks. However, I didn't feel the coverage was enough for me. Although it evened out the redness on my cheeks, it was still transparent (hard to hide the freckles). I have dry/combination skin and it's as if I can feel the powder residue on.
I decided to try the product on my mom to see if the results would vary. She has oily/combo skin. Let me say... WOW... IT WORKED AMAZING. My mom has blotchy skin, and that was pretty much covered. She looked like she was airbrushed; a flawless canvass that did not look made up at all.
I think this product could be a hit or miss... I definitely preferred the liquid foundation, however this one will provide you with a natural finish :)
