I got a trial size can of the tropical scent, because there didn't seem to be any full size bottles around. I had never used a dry shampoo, but I wanted to be able to get an extra day out of a shampoo. I try to only wash every other day, but I have long hair and I am forever putting it up or taking it down, and it ends up getting oil around my hair line and where I touch it. With this dry shampoo I am able to spray it on the oily areas and it leaves my hair looking fresh and clean. I am very pleased with it. Now I have to find a store that carries the full size bottle! -

I was originally looking for a different product when I bought this, but I am glad that I picked it up.
This product does pretty much everything you want a cleanser to do.. it removes makeup easily, leaves your skin clean and refreshed without being drying and it sloughs away dull dead skin gently. I still use a heavier facial scrub a few times a week, but the little scrubbers in this product do a great job at keeping my skin smooth and bright. Another great Aveeno product, I defiantly recommend.

Avon Nailwear Pro Nail Polish Cotton Candy
I thought this product was just okay... the colour looks great in the bottle, but I found it to be... I don't know, not right for my fingernails. It was the wrong colour for me, but it is perfect for manicures. As one reviewer already stated... +
I thought this product was just okay... the colour looks great in the bottle, but I found it to be... I don't know, not right for my fingernails. It was the wrong colour for me, but it is perfect for manicures.
As one reviewer already stated, it takes forever to dry. For pedicures I can get away with just one coat, so it isn't quite as bad, but on hands you need to give yourself a lot of drying time, and go with thin coats. One good thing, is that I have found my pedicures last a really long time with this polish, and is rarely even chipped when I am ready to take it off. I probably would not buy again, but overall the product is not terrible, just not that great.

I usually don't go for mascaras that are dual ended, as it seems that the payout is not typically worth the extra time it takes to apply each coat, but I was pretty pleased with the results I got from this product.
First off I was surprised that the primer coat is black, as opposed to the usual white. I find that with it being black it is way easier to get the second coat on and looking dark. This mascara really does deliver thick lashes, but it is slightly lacking in the lengthening department. Not lacking enough that I wouldn't use it though... I guess you can't have it all all the time!
As for removal, I didn't have any issues and I use Avon Moisture Effective Eye Makeup remover. There was a lot of black gunk, but it did remove it all. All in all this is a not bad mascara for when you want super thick, full looking lashes.

I too bought this product when the Shopping Channel had a pretty good deal on it (much cheaper than buying directly from Smashbox) I bought a palette (Proof) that has 10 of their popular colours in it. I was really excited to try the product, as I had heard so many great things about it.
I have to say, I don't know if maybe mine came from a bad batch or maybe I had a reaction to the product, but it really irritated my eyes, like stinging and just a general uncomfortable feeling. Also, the eyeliner never seemed to dry. It claims to dry quickly, and be smudge proof (once applied) and flake proof. While I didn't have flakes, I had major smudge (mainly because it never dried). I am glad that I also bought the cream eye liner brush, as the mini one that came with the palette was not very good and made application harder than it had to be. The full size brush however is fantastic!
All in all I was really disappointed and ended up just throwing it out. Waste of time and money. I don't recommend.

I received the entire collection of eye studio quads (from Matchstick Marketing) to create looks and post them on my blog. I like that the quads are slim and don't take up a lot of space, and that they have fun and interesting combos that deviate from the standard monochromatic set you usually get in quads.
So far my favourite quads have been the Pink Persuasion (a smokey eye set with grays and a pink) and the Sunset Seduction (pinky browns and taupes)
I find that the clours are very shimmer and I am often left with shimmer on my cheeks after applying. Also, some of the lighter shades are, just that, very light and have to be applied in layers to get the full colour payout. Overall though, these quads are a great product and I do recommend.

I love Pom Wonderful! I love that it comes in a variety of flavours too, like blueberry, cherry, tangerine. Cherry is my fave. It is great as a juice on it's own, but it is also great for cooking and baking. i have used Pom Wonderful in many different recipes. I just sub it in instead of whatever juice is called for.
It's tangy, sweet flavour is also great for cocktails and works well if you freeze it into ice cubes and add them to drinks.
If you have never tried, do it. I definitely recommend. The only draw back is that it is a teensy bit expensive. Some stores have it in the bigger jug (instead of the smaller bottle) which is a better buy if you intend to use it regularly.

This is a great on the go product, since you can use it to remove not only eye makeup, but you can use it to cleanse your face as well. Not only that but it is rinse free.
As an eye makeup remover it works wonderfully at melting away makeup. It is not really the best on waterproof formulas, but it does get the job done. I rub some on with my finger, then wipe it away with a damp cosmetic pad for the best results.
As a facial cleanser it also works pretty well. I find that while my skin feels smooth and and refreshed that it could maybe be a bit cleaner so I usually wash it off with water even though you don't have to.
All in all it is a very handy product, but a bit on the pricey side. While I like it, I probably would not buy it again.

Garnier Nutritioniste Nutri-Pure Daily Exfoliating Gel Cleanser

I have used a lot of different cleansers, but there are few that I have ever actually finished. I am pleased to say I am almost finished with this product. I bought it on a whim and am soo very glad that I did.
First off, I love that it is an exfoliating product that I can use everyday. I find that my skin needs a bit more than a twice weekly scrub, and this product fills that gap quite nicely. This cleanser looks like nuclear snot ( an odd green hue) and has a slightly odd smell too (but it has definitely grown on me.) It cleans really well, and removed make up easily. I don't know which ingredient does it, but after you wash your face, your face refreshed and soothed (like a cooling sensation) and feels all around great.
Perfectly clean and not tight. My new favourite cleanser that I will most certainly purchase again.

I won these in the chick advisor birthday giveaway and am so glad! I have a favourite pair of winter hikers that are still in excellent shape (even after a year of wear) but were lacking in arch support. When I put in these new insoles I was pleasantly surprised at how great they made my shoe feel and fit. I know that they are made more for moisture absorption and breath ability but they are great to refresh worn shoes. -
