I received this as a gift from ChickAdvisor, and I really wanted to like it but I think the product just isn't for me. It comes with a highlighting pencil and a darker shade for filling in, plus a brush head to blend. I found the shade a little too dark for my liking even though it was fairly close to what my brows naturally are... it's for those girls who like a strong, bold, dark brow more than one like me who minimally fills. I didn't like having to switch between the blending head and the pencil every time I needed to do something either. It's just a bit too much to add to a minimalistic routine. -

I actually did not use this for its intended purpose of a concealer (gasp!). I tested it on my cheek to see just how brightening it really was, and found it looked really nice as a subtle highlighter! The formula does have a good level of coverage as well which is nice. I'd probably buy this again just for the highlighting benefits!

I have to say, I've never tried a foundation packaged like this before and was interested to see what it was like. That said, it was very hard to blend properly without looking cakey, using the puff included in the foundation. I did like how smooth the formula was and the shade was close to my skin tone, but blending is huge for me so I likely wouldn't go out of my way to buy it. It's not a bad product by any means, it's just not for me!

While I do recommend this product for someone else (with darker skin), I will not use it for myself for one reason: the shades are far too intense for my porcelain skin! I tried using only a little bit, but the pigment was still a little more concentrated than I like. That said, I would use the highlighter that came with it (there is a highlight shade along with three blushes) regularly as it gave me a nice glow.
The product went on well, but like I said my only complaint was the colour selection didn't quite go with my skin tone.

This is the matching lip shade to the liner I received. I am in love! It's a beautiful shade and pairs really well with the liner I was given to try, and the formula is nice and creamy. I was a little worried about how much it would transfer as I did the "kiss test" on my hand immediately after applying and it did transfer quite a bit. However, I did the kiss test later on in the day, after 4-5 hours of wear, and it did not transfer nearly as much. It almost acted as a stain on my lips, so I didn't need to worry about reapplying the colour or experiencing blotchiness. Very happy with this and I will definitely be grabbing some more colours!

I reaaaaally love this liner. I'm clumsy with lining my lips, but I feel like the formula is perfect - it doesn't tug nor does it leave harsh lines - and the pencil itself fits well in my hand. I don't like chubby liners when it comes to the lips; I find them a lot harder to work with which is why this fine liner is fantastic for someone like me!
The shade is a beautiful nude and pairs really well with the lipstick I was also given to try. More on that shortly!

All I have to say is WOW.
I've always loved the look of painted fingernails, don't like the damage from fake nails and always hated that my manicures chip in the first day, two if I'm lucky even if it's professionally done.
I bought this just to try, along with a shade from their line (Field Fox). I didn't see any chips for FIVE DAYS. This is miraculous for me, because even the best polishes have never worked for me.
I am very hard on my hands - I work retail as a cashier (always typing and bagging) plus merchandising so this is probably why my manicures never last. BUT! This formula dries in 8.5 minutes (according to the description, which I found to be very accurate) and is basically impenetrable. Would buy again, and would definitely recommend!

Dove Men +Care Fresh Clean Shampoo + Conditioner
To quote my husband, "it's cheap and it works!" I personally think it smells nice (yet manly), and he says it gets the job done for his longer-than-a-close-crop wavy hair. The price is definitely a bonus!

This is a pretty good product, but I've used better. I found it did create the waves I wanted on the first day, but it was hard to recreate that look the next day. My ends were all frizzed out from it whereas with my usual smoothing cream, I can usually ruffle the waves a bit and walk out the door. It also felt a bit sticky, though it was a super lightweight product that gave a nice finish. -
