I received this product to try out for free through Chick Advisor and I was a little skeptical about it. Natural product makeup usually doesn't work on me as I have super oily skin so the oils basically eat it all up. But this was amazing! It kept my oil controlled for a solid 6 hours before I even needed to think about blotting (I usually have to blot every hour on the hour), and my makeup lasted though a solid 12 hour wear time. There is a slight tackiness to the primer which I thought was going to grab the foundation, but it didn't at all!
I think this is going to be my new holy grail primer!

Let me just start this out by saying that I am a LONG time user of Tresemme hair spray and I have never been disappointed. So when I was selected to try out this product for free through Chick Advisor, I was really excited! HOWEVER, this product I'm still on the fence about. While I did like how fine the mist was, the formula really didn't do much in terms of hold.
The scent was very nice and I liked that my hair didn't feel crunchy. However, it didn't really do much to my hair except keep the fly-aways down. I usually like a little more hold in my hairsprays.
With that being said...if you don't need much hold and only use hairspray for taming hair, then this is for you!

I had received the chocolate shake for free to test out and I wast BLOWN AWAY!!! These premixed shakes are usually chalky and taste absolutely horrible! This one wasn't at all! It game me the energy boost that I usually need from protein. I would HIGHLY recommend Premier Protein Chocolate Shakes to anyone who needs some extra protein without all of the extra sugar that protein shakes usually have! -

Absolutely LOVE this powder!!!
I'm now onto my 2nd pan and I'm in love!! It gives me the added coverage that I want without making my makeup look cakey! I have SUPER oily skin, and this stuff keeps my oil at bay for 12 hours! NOTHING else can do that!
My only issue is that their shade selection is extremely limited! The lightest shade (Fair) is not at all fair! It leans towards a medium and their darkest shade, is barely above a medium shade. For a brand that has one of the most extensive foundation shade ranges, I'm extremely disappointed in this one.
Oh well, I still will highly recommend it!

WOW! A dry shampoo that actually works for dark hair!!
I received a bottle of this from Chick Advisor ( #gotitfree ) to test out and I have to say that I'm extremely impressed!! I have really dark brown hair and it didn't leave that nasty white cast on my hair at all! It blended in so well and left my hair feeling clean and not gritty! The smell is amazing!!
The one downside to this product is that if you have any colour in your hair (I have a green chunk in the front of my hair) it will dull the colour as the dry shampoo is tinted brown. It's not a big deal, but you just have to watch where you're spraying it!
Overall, it's an amazing product that I will repurchase and I will definitely recommend it to my dark haired friends!

I got this product for free through the Chick Advisor Review club. #gotitfree
This product came with the Nivea 2-in-1 Moisturizing Primer.
I had high hopes for this product as I've tried MANY versions Micellar Water, and I love Nivea. I have to say that this one was completely underwhelming.
It took a lot of scrubbing to remove anything that was remotely water resistant and it didn't leave my skin feeling as clean as others have.
I did, however enjoy the non-greasy feel of the product. But I think it's the oily substances that remove the makeup.

I really wanted to love this mascara. But I could just not get on board. It left my lashes shiny (which I don't like), it flaked off, and the wand was way too spiky which made it very uncomfortable to get right down to the root of the lashes as it poked and hurt. -
NIVEA 2-in-1 Moisturizing Primer Normal Skin
Extremely moisturizing and smooth on the skin. As an oily/combination skin girl, it didn't leave my skin feeling super greasy. I did still have to use a primer as I really didn't find that I could skip that step.
