I just recently started using this concealer and am pretty happy with it.
First off, it will not heal your blemishes on its own. It only contains 0.5% salycic acid, which is something, sure, but it is not strong enough to stop a blemish in its tracks. It can be helpful, but it should not be your only plan of attack.
For under the eyes, I don't care for the formulation. I have the second lightest shade (light) and I find it is the wrong colour for under eye. For my face though, fabulous! I apply it over my foundation and it blends over old acne scars like they were never there. I love how naturally it covers and how easily I can get a full cover. A great concealer for blemishes and spots in general that you would rather not see.

I love picking up new colours and Revlon's polishes let me try something I might not normally try since they are relatively inexpensive, but still pretty good quality.
I am currently sporting Powder Puff #008 a white shade from the new Matte Suede line. I have never used matte nail polish before, to be honest I have never really cared for the look, but this shade is so unique I had to try it. It is white, but not a stark "hey look I just painted my nails with white out" look. The shade has a soft creaminess to it with a very subtle blue tint in certain light. A great shade for the holidays!
Overall, I have had good experiences with Revlon polishes, and I recommend!

I bought this in the summer as an alternative to heavier foundations. I have to say I am still not sure if I like it or not...
First off, I tend to have dry skin, so I figured a tinted moisturizer would be perfect: a hint of colour (I am pale, so I need a bit) and a moisturizing formula. I found that this product doesn't moisturize all that well. I didn't expect it to be a replacement for my regular moisturizer, but I found that it seemed to accentuate my dry areas leaving an almost powdery, dry mess where the tint stayed. I continued to use the product, but I have to avoid my dry spots. If you don't have dry skin issues, this is probably a great product for you as is does have a nice bit of colour and it seems to match well.

I have Star Glow, which is a matte pale pink colour. Considering how light the shade is, it is quite pigmented and applies easily. I like that the shade is so easy to wear, as it gives a very natural flush. I don't think the shade would work on anyone with a darker skin tone though. I have only tried this shade, so I'm not sure what the shimmery shades are like, but I defiantly recommend the matte shades. -

I was lucky enough to win a gift set of this fragrance, and like all the other Givenchy fragrances I've tried, love it!
This scent is a floral (white flowers, green tea leaves,jasmine, peony,). , but it has more depth and a slightly fruity note(Italian winter lemon) too it at the same time. I like that while it is floral in nature it is still grounded (blond wood and patchouli) and has a sophistication without being stuffy.
I would class this as more of a Spring/Summer scent, but I think it could also be worn whenever one chooses, as it does have a bit of warmth once it dries down. All in all a beautiful scent worth trying (even if you aren't a floral fan!)

I picked this up in a clearance bin at Real Canadian Superstore a while ago (got mine for $4) and have been using it pretty frequently since.
This product is unique in that it has it's own little scrubbing topper on it to give you a mild exfoliating element when you wash your face. Unfortunately, the scrubbing top on mine broke after a few weeks of use, but it is no problem since I use the cleanser on my Clarisonic now.
The cleanser is really great. It leaves your skin feeling clean and fresh, but not stripped down and tight. It removes makeup easily and quickly. It works so well that when I use it with my Clarisonic after a few days of using a different cleanser, it is able to remove the foundation tint off the Clarisonic brush head.
All in all this is a great cleanser, I definitely recommend!

I love this scrub! I am a scrub nut and have tried so many, and this is one of my favourites.
This scrub is a bit different than your normal wet type scrub, as this is a dry "nugget" . I like that you can control how much of a scrub you want from it by using more or less water. This scrub has a light floral scent that is very fresh and clean. I am not really a fan or floral scents, but this one is nice. Also, thanks to the oils in the scrub your skin feels amazingly soft. Say goodbye to rough winter skin!
This scrub is a great price too, I cut mine into 6-8 pieces and use chunk per use so it ends up being cheaper than any other scrub I've used in the past. I definitely recommend!

I was selected to receive this from the Product Review Club (thank you!) and am very pleased with my results. I chose medium brown (shade number 503 I believe) and am so happy with the colour and overall use of the product.
I am getting a head of myself, but the conditioner is amazing! Unfortunately they only give you a packet (as opposed to a resealable tube that has a few uses in it) They need to make the the conditioner available for purchase in a bottle. It is great!
The product was super easy to apply- you mix it just like any other hair dye and apply. I am always skeptical about things that claim to work fast, so I did end up leaving mine on for longer than 10 minutes, but the box dis say you could go 15, and I had dark roots, light highlights and some grays to cover, so I went a bit longer. The formula is a bit runny, but I had no major problems applying it and made no more a mess than I usually do (one glob somewhere it wasn't meant to be is average for me) It was easy to pile on top of my head and keep it there without a clip, so that is a plus!.
After washing out the dye and using the fab conditioner (I love it!!) I let my hair air dry and was so happy with my results, not only was the colour great, my hair was so smooth and shiny! Better than it usually looks when I shampoo and do my regular routine.
I would totally buy this product again, I had a very pleasant experience!

CK one used to be my signature scent, and I can say I have been through quite a few bottles of it. I wore it for years, but I eventually got tired of it (I changed to a sweeter scent) and it started to give me a headache. It has a clean scent, individual elements are kind of unidentifiable to me, but a tad citrus-y. It isn't an overly girly scent and can easily be worn by a man. This scent is perfect if you are looking for fresh clean scent. -

I have G, a tropical island, cocnutty, fruity scent that is perfect! I had no intentions of buying this, but I was browsing at Shopper's and realized I hadn't worn any perfume that day, so I had to take advantage and try one of the testers. I had read about G and thought it was the perfect time to see if it smelled as good as the review said it did. I spritzed it on and went about my shopping. As the day wore on, I knew I had to get a bottle for myself. The bottles are adorable too! Definitely recommend. -
