I bought a gift set of these on offer after the holidays for about half price, mostly because of the price but also because they were in 30ml sizes that seemed handy for my purse. i wasn't familiar with the line and was hesitant because of the 'flavours' of each tube but the scent isn't too heavy and dissipates quickly. the lotion rubs in quickly and doesn't leave a sticky feeling. i'll be happy to finish the tubes and hopefully they'll be back next holiday season. -

This came in my January kit, and it initially was cold from being in my mail box so I thought that was making the tube hard to squeeze but no it was the tube as i tried again after it warmed to room temperature. so either the cream is too thick for the tube or it should be in different packaging. but the main reason for my less than glowing review, the smell, which is quite cloying and does not dissipate quickly and the lack of absorption. i know some people like that but i don't like anything sticky or that doesn't absorb and it makes me feel like i need to wash my hands again negating the usefulness of hand cream. -
Aveeno Fresh Essentials Daily Moisturizer SPF 30
There seems to be a trend of removing SPF from face cream. Which is a shame for those of us who need it 365 days a year. Recently I haven't been able to find much over SPF15 so this is one of the few choices at the drug store lately. It's OK. I find... +
There seems to be a trend of removing SPF from face cream. Which is a shame for those of us who need it 365 days a year. Recently I haven't been able to find much over SPF15 so this is one of the few choices at the drug store lately. It's OK. I find it stings a bit when I apply it and any results that are to be gain from the Vitamin A, C and E are not very apparently but the SPF does seem to work has advertised. -

Of the three flavours offered for free for review at Chickadvisor, I found this one the least flavourful. When prepared with a bit of sugar and milk there was almost no detectable vanilla flavour. I was expecting the one to be my favourite and I will try it again without the milk but my initial tasting had me underwhelmed. -

Another of the free samples from Chickadvisor that i received earlier this week. An interesting blend of black tea and berry tea, as I generally go for a caffeine free berry tea when i drink it. I fixed the tea with only a bit of sugar and enjoyed it although the berry flavour was very mild. -

Part of a trial sampling from Chick Advisor, I received this Chai tea which I brewed and added a bit of sugar and milk to as this is generally how i take my chai tea. I found, although a nice tea, very weak on the chai flavouring. I suppose for someone who finds chai a bit overwhelming this might be an option but I have a favourite in mind that will continue to be my favourite. -
NIVEA In-Shower Nourishing Body Milk
I got a sachet sample of this and tried it out but by the time you rinse it off and get out of the shower i'm itchy again. probably works from someone with moderately dry skin but for my itchy most of the winter skin it's pretty useless.

Absolutely nothing wrong with the product, but another loose powder in an inferior package. I guess you really do get what you pay for. The package is very small, too small for my large powder brush, when you tip it over to get more powder in the top it comes out the side and makes a mess inside the top, rendering the tiny mirror completely useless. and as far as i can recall there is no puff that came with it. also there was a small inner cap that was - i guess - supposed to keep the powder inside but i had to remove it to get at the product more easily. -

my right eye in particular, because it's deep set tends to crease eyeshadow even with primer. in an attempt to find something as good as UD but considerably less expensive i've tried quite a few, i've tossed a few and i use a few because 'they'll do' but i think this might be a keeper. claiming ot make your eyeshadow waterproof - and i can't attest to that as that's not why i bought the product and haven't tested it for that - i found this a good solid primer with a couple of different low priced eyeshadow brands (ELF being one of them). also it seems to wash off with my usual facewash requiring no added product. -

I accidentally discovered that kid's sunscreen is often less harsh and less sticky a few years ago, so i seek it out. And i prefer to have a spray version in my purse so that i can reapply hands free when i'm out, but i made the mistake of not picking up a couple of bottles of my favourite Ombrelle at the start of the season this year so i had to try something else. Unfortunately this is not a true spray, it's a spray cream so i still have to use my hands, but it's pretty good as far as not being too sticky. However it gets all over the place, so if you're applying in the house, spray into your hands, which rather defeats the purpose of the spray bottle. -
