I won this product in the chick advisor birthday giveaway and thought it seemed pretty neat. I do not have any wrinkles around my eyes but I thought that this product might be helpful in reducing under eye circles (as it claims it will.)
I have used this product quite a few times and have found no results what so ever. I do not get really dark circles under my eyes, but this product did nothing to reduce what discoloration I did get. It does have a cooling effect, so it might work on puffy eyes, but I don't ever get them (I get the opposite, a sunken dark area) Overall it feels kind of gooey and sticky, and did not do much of anything. I can't even say it moisturized, because I don't think it did. I would not recommend this product.

I won this product in the chick advisor birthday giveaway, and to be honest I was a bit skeptical of it at first. I have tried oscillating mascara before and was not really into the results.
The first time I used this, I didn't read the instructions (how hard can a mascara primer be? apply before mascara) well, with this product you aren't supposed to let it dry before you put your mascara on ... I did not do that and got a clumpy, flaky, black, mess. The second time I tried it (after reading the instructions) I was very pleased with the results. My lashes were far longer and fuller looking than with my mascara alone, and I can't be exactly certain, but I do think they have gotten longer. My lashes on my left side are a bit shorter than my right, but now it seems like they have grown.
As for the oscillation, I am not sure if it is really necessary for the product, as I think it would work just as well without it, but it does make it extra easy to get the product down to the root.
I'm not sure if this is a product I will continue to purchase for myself, based on the price but I would recommend trying it.

I won this product in the chick advisor birthday giveaway and was really excited to try it out. I have been using it for a month or two now and I am pretty pleased with the results.
I am only 24, so I'm not so sure that I needed my "youth awakened" but the product has, overall, made an improvement to my skin. I have found that my skin feels better... softer. I have noticed my makeup goes on much nicer than before I used the product.
While I like this product, and definitely recommend it, I am not sure if it something I really "need" and if it will be something I am likely to spend the cash on.

I got to try this product via a free coupon from chick advisor (thank you!). I got my bottle at Shopper's Drug Mart, which did not have the product out on the shelves yet, but after asking I was brought out a bottle. I was quite surprised when I got home and checked the receipt to see that the going price on the product is $9.99. The bottle seems a bit small for that price when you compare it to other Vaseline products (such as the coco butter lotion, it is huge and you can get it for about $4, I love it!)
Anyway, the product itself if okay. I tried it on my hands first and was not disappointed with it, but at the same time I did not love it either. I have used it for a week or so, and while there really is nothing wrong with it, I probably would not buy it again. There are some other great Vaseline products that I will continue to use, but this probably won't be one of them.

I received this product to try from the product review club an was really excited about trying it. The product claims to plum lips and diminish fine lines around the lip area... it did neither.
I found the product to be an overly glorified moisturizer in a fancy tube, but while it did not do what it claimed, it did moisturize quite well, but it is not worth the price.
The product that goes on the lips was the wrong texture for me... it felt like I was putting moisturizer on my lips and it kind of left my lips feeling like they had a thick coating. I will use the product until it runs out (since it does moisturize) but I will not purchase it in the future.

I received this to try from the review club (thanks Chick Advisor!) and I am really pleased with it.
At first when I smelled the rose scent I thought that it would be way too strong for me, but once I tired it, it mellowed and was fine. I liked that it had a pink tint which reduced the chances of it leaving white streaks on my clothes.
I have only been using it for a few weeks, but I have noticed my underarms to be softer. As for the hair itself, I think it will take a bit more use to see a difference, as I do not have very coarse hair.
Overall I liked the product, I'm not sure if I would buy it again, as I'm not too sure yet if it will actually reduce stubble and make the hair softer, but as deodorant it is great.

I won these in the Chick Advisor birthday giveaway and really like them. I like that they remove makeup really well, they do not get every last speck of it (as with most wipes) but they do a better job than others I have tried. They are great for nights when you don't have time to do the entire cleansing routine but want something to clean away the day. The packaging is great because the wipes actually stay moist and don't dry out.
I would recommend these for busy people to have on hand and for those who reapply makeup throughout the day, since they are fast and easy on the go.

First, it smells amazing... so good, almost edible. I have been wearing a fruity perfume and find that this body butter compliments it quite nicely.
I have found that this product absorbs really well on the body but is a tad greasy on my hands. It takes a bit of rubbing in to get it on, but it is so worth it. It moisturizes really well and leaves a soft fruity scent.

I won this set in the Chick Advisor Birthday Giveaway, and love it!
I have never used any Mary Kay products before, but am in love with the blush that this set came with and the neat compact.
The compact is larger than your average, but it has an open area for your lip gloss to fit into.
I usually use a creme blush, but I am hooked on the triple toned version this came with. It is the perfect natural looking colour, and it blends in perfectly.
The eyeshadows are great bendable colours and I like that they virtually spill proof in the tubes instead of the typical pots that can be so messy.
This is a great kit and the bag is the perfect size to hold the products that you use everyday.

I got this product in the Chick Advisor Birthday contest giveaway in Ebony, Divine Diva, Indigo Glow, and Vanilla Chilla.
Honestly, I was slightly frightened by the colours that had been selected, but I am now into them 100%. Vanilla Chilla looks very yellow in the pan, but goes on a pale creamy colour that is perfect as a base. Indigo Glow is a soft purple-ish blue that looks dark in the pan but goes on the perfect colour. It really makes my dark brown eyes pop.
Divine Diva is a burgundy type shade that looks more brown-ish in the pan, and looks great as defining colour.
Ebony is black (go figure) but is a solid black that has no shimmer. It goes really well with indigo glow for a smokey eye.
I have had a blast creating different looks with colours that I probably would not have picked had I bought this for myself. The colours are not as pigmented as the look in the pan, but they are buildable and blend really well. They are easy to apply and barely creased (even with extended wear) I will definitely be buying more colours to switch into my compact when these run out.
