I got this as a sample so I admit that I did not use it for more than four or five days. Perhaps if I had used it longer I would have seen more of an effect. I unfortunately did not notice many benefits of this product. It feels very fresh on my skin, but if I put foundation on over it, it and the makeup rolled off in my fingers making me feel like I had a layer of stuff on my face. I ended up using it only on days that I wasn't wearing makeup, and that was fine but not ideal.
The product itself is fine; however, I must disclose that I do not support L'Oréal as a brand. While they have made a statement saying they do not test their ingredients on animals, they do however sell into Mainland China, who requires animal testing on many imported products. Vichy Laboratories is one of their brands that has not been certified by PETA or Leaping Bunny as Cruelty-Free. Until L'Oréal chooses to stop doing business with countries that require animal testing, I cannot recommend this product.

This product is marketed as a finishing powder, but I think if I used it that way I would blind everyone around me. Its very shiny and sparkly, and I never use highlighter but I just had o buy this and try it out at a music festival. It isn't as bold as I thought it would be, which is a good thing because it means I can wear it on a normal day and not just as crazy festival makeup. I love being able to wear glitter as an adult! I got the Magical colour because, eith my pale complexion, I think the Mermazing colour would make me look too ghostly. -

I have the colour Blushing Trésor and it's very good for my skin tone. I am a redhead and have a very pale complexion, and I've been told to go with coral blush, but have never found that those look that good on me. This colour is a perfect blend of coral and pink, but isn't too light. Plus, I LOVE the sparkly sheen, it's a very nice touch and makes me feel like I get to wear glitter on my face without it standing out too much!
I must disclose that, while I really like this product, I do not support Lancôme selling its products in Mainland China, where animal testing is obligatory.

I was impressed by this mask. I usually don't like the tight feeling masks give my face after washing them off, and this one still felt a little like that, but overall it was much better than other masks I've tried. Plus it smells so good! I #gotitfree from the Chick Advisor review program so I didn't know how much it cost. When deciding how high to rate the value I thought to myself "I would probably pay $10 or $15 for this, but it probably sells for $20." I checked Walmart and to my surprise it is only $6.97! To me this mask gives incredible value for the price.
Clean & Clear's official policy on animal testing states that the company doesn't test on animals "except in the rare situation where governments or laws require it."

I have never bought Degree’s stick deodorant for myself before, and I am very happy with it. It doesn’t leave clumps in my underarms and doesn’t show when I lift my arms. I haven’t noticed it rubbing off on my clothes either, but I haven’t had it for long enough to have worn with any black or tricky materials.
I love the scent—it’s very fresh! I can still smell it on myself at the end of the day.
I have been using Degree’s dryspray antiperspirant for a while now, and although I do like this stick deodorant, I think I will continue to buy the dryspray as I don’t notice a texture with it in the way I do with a stick.

I have bought Tresemmé’s hairspray products in the past and have always found that they meet my needs. No one likes hairsprays that make their hair too crunchy, but there is a delicate balance between crunchiness and effectiveness. The Hold Level 2 worked well for me in the regard, but I might also like to try a Hold Level 1. I have long hair and usually only use hairspray to keep my bangs in place when I clip them back, or to tame frizzies. So perhaps a Hold Level 2 is better suited for someone with shorter hair and/or more demands from their hairspray than me. Nevertheless, I like this new compressed micro mist. I’m not sure what they have changed about it, but it feels like it sprays less harshly and I can mist my hair much easier than with their previous cans.
I do like the product itself; however, I must disclose that I do not support Unilever as a brand.

First off, I want to say how much I love the scent. It is so fresh and original: unlike any other “typical” lotion scents that we are so used to smelling.
I used this body lotion over my entire body after a shower, and it did the trick. I felt neither oily nor dry afterward, and the consistency is just right.
