I was given a free sample to try out for this review.
I don't regularly use dry shampoo. I have tried them in the past and they either made my hair feel gross and itchy or they just didn't work.
Though this product did technically do what it said it would, I would still not recommend it. It made my head and face very itchy. Not an allergic reaction but more like the feeling of having dirt in your hair and on your skin.
It was too uncomfortable, and I was itching all day. Not worth it in my opinion.
I was really hoping this stuff would be an exception because I love GÖT2B products.

I received this as a free sample to test out.
I have very dry skin and usually use a moisturizing primer, so when I put this stuff on my face I was convinced it would dry me out. Amazingly it did not! It did a great job. My make-up looked fantastic for quite a long time.
I only wear make-up on special occasions, so only generally for 4-6 hours. Usually by the end of the event the make-up is settling into fine lines, however this stuff did not do that. I kept checking myself in the mirror (as I normally do) so I could smooth out the stuff that settled into fine lines, but I never had to.
There are two drawbacks however. Using this primer made it feel like I had pounds of make-up on my face. My make-up looked fine, but it felt heavy.
Second, is the smell when you're first applying it. It's heavily scented. I hated the smell. Very perfumey. I thought for sure I was going to have an allergic reaction to it. I didn't though. Also the scent doesn't last, otherwise I would not be giving this a good review.
I will almost definitely use this again, and would recommend it for anyone, even dry skinned ladies!

I got this product for free and I'm pretty glad I did because I never would have tried this on my own as I usually don't buy big name brands.
I could not find this in my area. I live in a small place so I actually had to wait until I went to a bigger city.
I'm a huge fan of chocolate and this definitely does not disappoint. It's creamy a pretty delicious.
Supposedly it has very few calories in it and you you really wouldn't be able to guess. It doesn't have that sucky diet flavour that things like this usually have.
I would totally recommend this!

Dove Powder Anti-Perspirant Stick
This smelled nice, and wasn't harsh. It worked just as well as any anti-perspirant, nothing special about it really. The scent is gentle, but still has that baby powder smell, which I'm not really a fan of

This stuff is really rich and moisturizing. I have dry itchy skin, and this really helped give it some moisture to ease the itching. I probably could have gotten away with not moisturizing afterwards.
Unfortunately I had to stop using it because my boyfriend is scent sensitive and was allergic to it. So if you're scent sensitive, this may not be the product for you.

This cream is really thick but goes on really smooth, doesn't leave a greasy layer at all, and it kept my skin moisturised throughout the day.
I have pretty dry skin and this really takes care of that. It's really moisturising and the smell is great. The scent is subtle and almost soothing, and not overpowering. I tend to have scent allergies and this absolutely did not trigger a reaction.
Downside is the price. It's almost $20 for a jar of this stuff! However it is a really large jar and a little really goes a long way. I've been using it everyday for two weeks straight and have barely made a dent in this. It'll last me 6 months or so at this rate.

Been using this stuff for years now, and it's much better than using a serum. I've tried serums before and they just do not feel as nice as this stuff.
This is not heavy, it doesn't weight my hair down, no matter how much I put in, and my hair feels so soft when I use it. I have really fine hair that just falls flat so easily so I can't use anything that will weight my hair down.
I usually put his stuff on when my hair is wet, before I blow dry because it does do a bit of heat damage protection. I can put tons in without it looking greasy.
Aside from all of these things, this isn't very expensive, compared to serums, and it lasts me about 5 months, and I use it every other day.
Definitely recommend this product!

I bought this stuff after I had back surgery and wasn't able to shower. Thought it would be a good way to keep my hair from looking disgusting.
First thing is that my hair felt gross in a different way after using this. I only sprayed it on my roots, but it made my whole head of hair feel like hay, and made my scalp really itchy. I could feel it there. I tried a lot of different ways to use it, because I really wanted this to work. I tried using less, but my hair still looked greasy. I tried using more, but then my hair felt even more hay like and the itching was worse. I tried massaging it in, I tried letting it soak up the grease and then massaging it. I scoured google for different ways to apply this stuff and tried everything I could find. No matter what, it was unpleasant.
I thought that having the darker colour would be better because it wouldn't look like dandruff. And that was true, but I also found that throughout the day it would migrate to my forehead and I'd have dark marks on my forehead that looked like I had dirt on me or something (this happened even when I didn't even use enough to take away the greasiness in my hair). When I would wash my face at night there would be a lot of dark stuff coming off of my face so I think the flakes or whatever they are were actually getting all over my face.
I'm pretty sure it was clogging the pores on my forehead around the hairline as well, because I only get a few pimples usually around my mouth area, but I was getting several on the top of my forehead and around my hairline, while using this. Once I stopped, the pimples went away.
Aside from these things, I have allergies when I use aerosol hairspray (Sneezing mostly) and this gave me the same reaction, so if you're still thinking of giving it a try, if you have aerosol allergies, then I strongly recommend not using this. You will be sneezing all day!

I use this stuff every spring so I can get rid of my ghost white skin for the summer. I am extremely pale, like so white that it's hard to find makeup in a light enough shade, so you can imagine what my legs would look like.
I started using this stuff a few years back when my mother gave me a bottle of it. I use it every other day for two weeks and then about once or twice a week to maintain the colour. It's a very natural and gradual tan, which I love because it doesn't seem fake (one day your white as a ghost and the next day you suddenly have a great tan. Highly suspect!)
I'm not looking to be tanned really, I just use it to get rid of the whiteness so I look like I've seen the sun before. It's very easy to use and to maintain the colour once you get it to where you want it.
The biggest downside is I have trouble applying it because I find it stains my fingernails, so I have to apply it with the palm of my hand, which makes it a more difficult.
Also I can't attest to the firming part of this, as I haven't noticed any firming, but I don't have a lot of cellulite or anything so I wouldn't really expect there to be a change in that department.
In any case, I definitely recommend it if you're like me and want to add a bit of colour to your skin.

I got this as a free sample from Vichy. I've never used a peel before so I was pretty sceptical that this would have any effect.
In fact the only reason I started using it at all is because I read online that Glycolic acid can help unclog pores. I have pretty sensitive skin, so a lot of products will break me out. I also have dry skin and usually have one or two small pimples on my face somewhere.
This didn't break me out (thank god!) nor does it irritate my skin. It also smells fabulous. I've been using it every other night for about two weeks and I'm already noticing that the clogged pores are starting to clear up and the pimples I had have faded and nothing has returned. My skin looks pretty clear, so much so in fact that my boyfriend actually commented on the fact.
I'm pretty impressed with this stuff, and am absolutely going to buy a full size bottle when my trial one runs out!
