I received this from the Product Review Club to try out. Thank You!
I was excited to try this product because I have a thing for hair treatments and honestly, my hair could use a little bit of a boost. Firstly, while my final results were pretty good, I don't like the application of this masque. The pot states you are to apply it to towel dried hair, wait 2-3 minutes then rinse. Really? How annoying to have to towel off. The first time I used this I did just that, but the second time I just squeezed my hair out and applied. I'd say that cheating in this instance is worth it because I got the same results both times.
I loved that this masque re-hydrated my hair without weighing it down and didn't make my hair look greasy (which has happened with other treatments I've tried) This is definitely worth trying!

I've just started to "collect" these (most are LE so you have to act fast to get them) and have four in my stash:
Perfect Topping- a light golden toned, peachy champagne
Soft and Gentle- a bronzey golden shade
Lightscapade- sheer, pale champagne, almost white
Redhead- a rosey, peach champagne
One just isn't enough with these... I never used to be much for highlighting, but once I started adding it to my
"face" I was hooked on the brightening glow a well applied highlight can give. MSFs can give you a lovely, radiant glow when applied correctly. I say correctly, because some do contain glitter, so you have to be careful as to how much you apply. They are also a bit pricey, but given how little you need (of most shades) these are going to last you forever. Overall a nice item to have in your stash.

I would say that out of all the MAC powders I've used this is my first choice (Studio Careblend is a close second)
I like that this powder isn't super pigmented. I know some prefer a more pigmented powder, but I want my foundation to do the work and for my powder to do it's job to set everything, but also to disappear on my skin. I don't want extra colour. MSFN gives your skin a natural, smooth finish without looking powdery or over done and doesn't make my prone to being dry skin look like the Sahara. I love that I can use this over foundation, BB cream, to set concealer or over light tinted moisturizer and it always delivers. I wouldn't recommend this for the very oily prone, as I don't find it to keep me totally matte all day (and I am not oil prone). Overall this is a great powder.

I ended up with all the shades available in this product range, but black was the shade that I got the most use out of. These eyeshadows are quite comparable to more expensive brands in such that they are smooth, deeply pigmented, and long lasting. My main problem was the rate at which the actual product lasts. I had to get rid of mine after only a month or two as it dried up very quickly and became unusable. The brush that it comes with is also not the type that I'd prefer for the purpose (applying eyeliner) but it is perfect for cleaning up nail polish after you've applied it (cuticle clean ups.) I'm hoping that I just got an "off" batch, because the product definitely had potential. -

I love this eyeliner! It was gifted to me some time ago, in a shade I probably wouldn't have picked if I was shopping for myself, but I have gotten so much wear out of it. These are smooth, super easy to apply, wear well (and for hours) and have great pigmentation. If I didn't already have so many eyeliners, I would definitely pick up more in different shades. -

So many ladies say that this is their holy grail mascara that I just had to try it.
Boo! Granted, it is not the worst mascara I've used, I just didn't find is as amazing as everyone made it out to be. I don't know if it is because I got the waterproof formula ( I always like to have one waterproof on hand.) I didn't find it to do a lot in terms of lengthening. Once applied it looks fine, it just didn't wow me or leave my lashes as big as I know other mascaras can. I give this a pass.

I grabbed this from a clearance bin ( I love trying mascaras, so it was pretty much calling my name) and was happy with it the first couple times I used it.
BUT... the love did not last. A week or so after opening it, I used it again (usually mascaras get better after they've been opened and sat a bit) but this made my lashes clump together in the most unflattering black wad. It made it look like I had five giant lashes. They were long, mind you, but not the cutest look. I give this one a pass.

COVERGIRL LashBlast Length Mascara

Ugh, mistake. I don't know if maybe I got an old tube, but I found the formula to be very dry and it was hard to get enough product on the brush. What mascara I could actually get onto my lashes, didn't do too much at all. I didn't find that it lengthened much at all. Overall it was a total let down, and not worth the time trying to make it work. Pass on it.

Huge thanks to ChickAdvisor for providing this for review! I have to say that I was super excited to get a new toothbrush (read: nerd) I happen to love dental care items for some odd reason, and this brush was awesome!
While I usually wouldn't spend that much on a toothbrush ( I have the modestly priced $35 Oral B Vitality) I would purchase this again; actually I already have, as a christmas gift.
I liked that this brush has a standard shaped head, most electric toothbrushes have the little round head, but I've found that I prefer the longer style. It is still small, but it fits my mouth better. I loved that this toothbrush not only tells you when you've brushed long enough, but also how long to brush each quadrant of your mouth. Pretty brilliant! I loved that my teeth felt dentist clean every time I brushed too!
I think this is a great toothbrush and totally recommend it.

I looove this hand soap! I like to stock up when they have the 6 for $20 so I always have some stashed away.
My main reason for loving them is mainly the scents; they all smell so good and they always have a ton of foodie scents. The other reason is they are foamy and cleanse well without drying out your hands. Definitely worth trying!
