I have been using CeraVe Stretch Marks Cream for almost four weeks now and I have seen a small improvement in the appearance of my stretch marks. I was lucky to not get very many and the ones I did get are quite small and thin, mostly on my hips and thighs. Using this twice daily has helped to make them less noticeable.
I really like the fact that this product is a cream and not an oil. I've used the oil variety in the past and didn't like it. Too messy and no real results. This is easy to apply, dries very fast and you don't need to use a lot. It is deeply nourishing and left my skin feeling hydrated for hours.
The fact that it's fragrance free is awesome and in my opinion would make a great preventive treatment during pregnancy. I was so sensitive to smells during pregnancy and would've loved to use this scent-free cream on my tummy opposed to the messy oil or cocoa butter which made me nauseous. This cream would make a great baby shower gift for any mom-to-be!
The reality is that no cream or oil will completely remove stretch marks. The best you can hope for is an improvement in the overall appearance of them and this cream helped with that.
I recommend CeraVe Stretch Marks cream as a preventive measure during pregnancy as well as an after birth treatment.

I have been using Coppertone Sensitive Skin Faces daily for well over a week now and I am very pleased with it. I have sensitive, combo skin that is acne prone and I haven't had a single pimple while using this!
Although it appears heavy it doesn't feel that way once applied, I actually found it to feel very light once it sets in. It dries fast and feels more like a moisturizer than sunscreen. A little goes a long way, and it is very easy to rub in. It looks a bit white at first but as long as you blend well that disappears.
It is great under makeup! I found that it made my foundation easier to apply. It stayed put and didn't cause any excess oil production. It didn't effect the look or longevity of my foundation at all. No melting, no smudging, no smearing.
Wearing it alone without makeup leaves my skin looking dewy and fresh, a look I like for summer.
I will be purchasing this facial sunscreen for years to come. It has more than lived up to its claims of being gentle and non-acnegenic, plus it is incredibly affordable!
This is a great product and I highly recommend it!

After two weeks of using Idéalia Life Serum twice daily I am pleased to say I've seen some improvements in my skin! It has helped even out my complexion and reduced the appearance of my pores. With two young children I don't get much beauty sleep and this has helped make my skin look calm and rested.
On top of looking tired, I have combination skin that's acne prone and this serum doesn't make me look oily or cause me to breakout.
I apply it during the day in place of my regular moisturizer and at night prior to Vichy's Idéalia Skin Sleep. Although you can wear it underneath your daily lotion/cream I find it hydrating enough on it's own.
I love the pump bottle, not only is it pretty to look at but it dispenses easily. The serum is creamy and has a little sparkle that instantly illuminates your face. It makes my skin glow and doesn't make me look or feel oily.
A pea size amount is all I need to cover my face and neck and it gets absorbed very quickly.
I am very happy with this product and will purchase it in the future.

As a mother of two young children, one of which is an infant, beauty sleep is something I don't get enough of. My sleep is often interrupted and my skin shows it. On top of that I also have combination skin that is sensitive and acne prone. This cream didn't cause me to breakout, a huge plus in my books!
After using Idéalia Skin Sleep as well as Idéalia Life serum for the last two weeks I've noticed a reduction in the size of my pores, my skin tone has become more even and my skin is hydrated and appears plumper.
Aside from the great results I've experienced I also really like how smoothly this gel-balm applies. The texture is nice, not too thin and not too thick. A little dab is more than enough to do my face and neck. It has a beautiful pink hue to it and a nice light scent.
I do find it takes awhile to absorb so I apply it about 10 minutes prior to going to bed. Once absorbed my skin felt instantly hydrated, not greasy like most other night creams I've used in the past.
I love this product and the beautiful jar it comes in! I highly recommend it and will definitely purchase it in the future once my jar runs out!

To be honest I wasn't expecting this eye cream to be great and I ended up being wrong. It is really good! I have an infant who wakes up frequently at night as well as a preschooler so I'm always tired and my eyes show it. This cream has made a world of difference. I no longer have tired looking, puffy eyes! The skin around my eyes has even started to look brighter after using this for just two weeks.
The tube is really convienent and makes application fast and easy. I use three little dots above my upper lid, three dots below and it covers my whole eye area.
The best feature is how long lasting it is. Twice daily application has left the skin around my eyes feeling hydrated and looking great all day/night.
I will definitely repurchase this product in the future!

*I was selected to participate in the CeraVe Supermom Panel and received this diaper cream free of charge in exchange for my honest opinion and review*
I really like the texture of this cream. It is thin and lotion like opposed to a heavy cream/paste. This makes it easier to apply and reduces tugging which can be quite uncomfortable for baby if they have a rash. A little goes a long way and it gets absorbed by the skin opposed to just sitting on top.
It is non-greasy, fragrance free, paraben free and sulfate free. Perfect for baby's sensitive skin!
The tube makes it easy to use and is cleaner and far more sanitary than the traditional tubs or tins. It also washes off hands easily and doesn't leave a greasy after feel.
During the 2 week testing period my daughter didn't have or develop a diaper rash. This could be due to preventive treatment or just luck. What she did have was a minor irritation on her leg near where the diaper rests. I applied the cream before bed and by morning her irritation was gone.
As a preventive measure I think this cream is great but I'm not sure how effective it would be on an active diaper rash because my daughter didn't have one during the testing period.
All in all I am happy with this product and will likely purchase it in the future.

QUO by ORLY Nail Polish

I like the way they apply but I find they chip in a day or so. I only buy them when they go on sale, not really worth full price in my opinion. -
Sally Hansen Salon Fast Acting Polish Remover
This is my favourite nail polish remover, aside from pure acetone. It really does the trick when it comes to removing polish and it doesn't leave my fingers stained. It works well on dark nail polish and even glitter. A must have!

For a value priced eyeliner these definitely deliver quality. The colour shows up well and they glide on smoothly.

I've had my Mia 2 for about a month now and I absolutely love it! I can't believe I waited so long to buy one, it has made a world of difference in the appearance of my skin. It was pricey but totally worth it.
I have acne prone skin so thorough cleaning is a must. I can honestly say that my skin has never felt as clean as it does after using my Mia 2. I started using it 2x a day but have since switched to once a day. I use it before bed after removing my makeup by hand.
Initially I had more breakouts than usual but it didn't last long. I can't say that regular use has drastically reduced my breakouts but it has helped them to clear up quicker.
The most remarkable change was in my skin texture, tone and pore size. I had visible pores on my cheeks but they have shrunk to less than half the size. I have fewer whiteheads, blackheads and any pimples I do get are smaller in size. My skin appears healthier and more even toned.
I find that serums, lotions and creams are now absorbed better by my skin and have been far more effective than they were before. My foundation also applies easier and more evenly.
I am incredibly happy with my Mia 2 and can't imagine not having it as part of my skincare routine.
