I really love that this can also be used in the shower, as it made it easier to apply. I usually use oils on my skin, and while they are inconvenient to apply, I find that they are very moisturizing. That being said, this is my first time using an after-sun care product. This made my skin soft and moisturized. With this being a spray, I actually found it made it quite easy to apply as it dispersed well. When applying this dry, I use my regular lotion followed by this to help keep in the moisture.
I would definitely recommend this for those with dry skin. But even so, an oil product like this is very good to help keep moisture in your skin, and for the amount of product you get, it does go a long way.

This one has an amazing SPF 60. The only other one I've used with the same SPF is the Neutrogena Beach Defense. I find that this Vichy one applies rather well, as I didn't have to keep rubbing it in. It absorbed pretty quickly, making for an easy application. I did not try using this on my face, as I did not want to risk breaking out, but I suppose some people might use it for that as well. You get quite a lot of product for the price, so I was very happy with this one. I would definitely recommend this one for the superior sun protection (SPF 60!!).

I find this quite comparable to my usual UV lotion (Biore Aqua Rich Watery Gel) which is also SPF 50. I was excited to be trying another one, as this one is readily available at my local drug store. Compared to other UV lotions I have tried, they are usually quite thick and greasy. I.e. they make your face shine quite a bit. I liked using this one, as it was light and easy to apply. I found this one to be long lasting as claimed, and best of all, it didn't make me breakout!
I would definitely recommend this one as it works great and is so easy to apply.

I've got to say that this moisturizer has a great consistency. One thing I would say is that the SPF is too low, 15 barely does anything, and I still would need to apply a sunscreen in conjunction with this to protect my skin.
I have yet to see a more even skin tone, and I hope I will see something with continued use. Although, my skin tone did seem to be a little brighter after about a week of use. This moisturizer absorbs quite well, and made my skin feel elastic to the touch after it had soaked in. Again, my problem is the SPF, if I do use this in the summer, I don't think that SPF 15 will be enough for me, but as it's winter, I find myself indoors most of the time, and so this hasn't been much of an issue. My regular moisturizer is a gel one with SPF 50, and so if I were to compare this to it, I don't really think that I would make the switch over. However, I think that this moisturizer is quite good for the winter, as it keeps my skin well hydrated through the winter months.
I find this to be a decent moisturizer, so I would recommend it to others, depending on their skin type. And I think I would only re-purchase this for winter use due to the SPF.

I'm glad that I got a great opportunity to try a micellar water. I have been wanting to try a cleansing water for a few months now, and am quite impressed with this one. The thing I like the best about cleansing water is that it eliminates the mess of traditional face washing. I have recently gotten into the double cleanse trend (oil cleanser + gentle foaming cleanser), which does work quite well, however, it still requires splashing water on your face. My counter top and floor disagree with these methods. With a cleansing water, you just need to soak some cotton pads and then swipe them on your face, or let them soak in a bit before you being swiping. I went with the latter, as I found it was a very good way to remove makeup, especially around the eyes and lips. Of course, you need to always be careful when using something around your eyes, so exercise caution and don't rub your eyes!
So, onward. I liked this micellar water for the ease and convenience of use and how gentle it was on my skin. I didn't really notice any difference in my skin tone, however, it might just be too early to see that. I use about 3-4 cotton pads each time, and soak them through and place them on my face where needed. Using cleansing water does not feel as refreshing as a foaming cleanser, but I like that it is non-greasy when I compare it to my oil cleanser. But it does the job and removes all or most of my makeup.
I would definitely re-purchase and recommend this, as it is so good for cleansing while traveling and for those lazy days when you don't want to splash water all over the place.

I received this product as part of ChickAdvisor's Product Review Club.
This definitely did a great job cleaning, but I don't know if it tipped the scales for me in favour of a mechanical toothbrush. It cleaned my teeth well & made the feel very smooth. But following the instructions to apply no pressure was probably my only issue. That's not how I usually brush my teeth, but I got used to it after a while. I would probably skeptical if I didn't get a good clean out of it, but I suppose those instructions are there to prevent excess abrasion to teeth.
This toothbrush was very easy to use, and it does a good job on what it advertises. The only thing I worry about this is if it does a good job massaging my gums, but only time will tell. For the most part, I think it does, as I haven't had any issues since switching over to this toothbrush. I think this toothbrush is quite good to use after a tiring day, or at the beginning of a sleepy one, as it takes very little effort to operated and works great. Although, I would probably recommend getting a tongue cleaner if you want a good full mouth clean.
I would probably recommend this. But most likely to younger folk who have problems cleaning their teeth with a manual toothbrush. It is a good way to learn how to clean your teeth, and to maintain them. But it really is good for any age, just depends on your preferences. I would probably buy another one, but it's not a toothbrush I would use everyday, as I do still like to use a manual toothbrush.

I received this as part of the product review club. I used this for more than the five days indicated on the packaging for whiter teeth, but I didn't really see that my teeth were any whiter. Despite that, it gave a really good clean and made my mouth feel very fresh. I usually use crest, and I must say, I think I may just have to switch to arm & hammer. Even though it didn't do much whitening for me, I felt like my mouth was fresher longer with this toothpase. I would definitely recommend this to friends and family. :) -

I bought this one on a whim, and it does what it needs to. I wouldn't use the applicator that came with it, as it makes for a cakey application. I used a brush and it worked quite well. It did blend well, but I'm not too sure if it matched my tone, as it did make me a little bit darker. Perhaps I should buy it in a different shade. I would recommend it because it did a decent job. -

I have this lipstck in "Angel's Blush" & "Cherry Twist". I've got to say that I really love these simple lipsticks. The colour is great, and relatively long-lasting. I love the benefits that come with it. The SPF protection and moisture really do wonders for my lips. I would like it to be a little more pigmented, but the good outweighs the bad. I would re-purchase and recommend this to friends and family! -

I love this creme. It really moisturizes without a greasy feeling. I don't even need to use a lot of product, as a little goes a long way with this one. I've even used it on my lips, and it does a great job for that too. I usually carry some with me, as the tin is small enough to bring with me. I highly recommend this! -
