Q-tips Cotton Swabs
These are my go-to cotton swabs. While other (cheaper) brands do a fine job I find these to be the most comfortable in my ear and for removing makeup mistakes. I can't remember the last time I used a different type of cotton swab.

Vim Wood Floor Cleaner
This is my go-to hardwood floor cleaner. I live in an older house and this cleaner is the best at maintaining my century floors and adding a nice polish. I've never had a reason to switch since trying this one!

I had received the product free as part of the ChickAdvisor Product Review Club.
I don't like the pale colour I received with this kit. I found it too pale and it applied streaky no matter how careful I was. However, I LOVE the topcoat.
I've used it with my own nailpolishes and I love the result. It's the single greatest top coat I've ever tried.
It doesn't last for 2 weeks as the claim states - - but it does last almost an entire week with regular life activities (doing the dishes, working, working out etc) and that is pretty darn impressive. I've never had my nails last as long as they've been lasting since I got this topcoat.
Would definitely recommend this!

NYC Smooth Skin Bronzing Face Powder
I love this bronzer and I think it is one of the unsung heroes of the drugstore! It works so much better than most other bronzers and I truly think it is a product everyone should own.

Benefit Cosmetics They're Real! Mascara
This mascara is good enough, but I don't think it is worth the money. It is almost impossible to remove fully. I've tried the regular non-waterproof kind many times and each time I use it I have a hard time taking it off. I always wakeup with racoon... +
This mascara is good enough, but I don't think it is worth the money. It is almost impossible to remove fully. I've tried the regular non-waterproof kind many times and each time I use it I have a hard time taking it off. I always wakeup with racoon eyes after using this one. -
Maybelline New York The Falsies Volum' Express Mascara
I quite like this mascara. It adds a lot of volume right where you need it the most - at the root of the lash. This effect makes your whole eye look much more defined. My only issue with this mascara is that it flakes off throughout the day. I find... +
I quite like this mascara. It adds a lot of volume right where you need it the most - at the root of the lash. This effect makes your whole eye look much more defined.
My only issue with this mascara is that it flakes off throughout the day. I find that I have to check my face often and I find little black flakes on my face almost every day (even though the mascara is brand new).

Simple Micellar Make-Up Remover Wipes

These wipes are just ok. I think the main issue is that they aren't wet enough - they were too dry even when I first received them freshly sealed in the package.
Pros: These are gentle, scent free, and won't irritate your skin. They remove most of my face makeup well enough but I do have to go in with a cleanser or some kind of other makeup remover afterwards.
Cons: The wipes are too dry and don't work at all in removing eye makeup. Even non-waterproof eye makeup.
Bottom line: These are ok at removing some face makeup but won't do much to completely remove makeup. They may be best used for touchups, cleaning up smudges and mistakes, and as a first step before you cleanse your face.

This is a solid Micellar water and it works relatively well to remove makeup.
Pros: It is very gentle, fairly scent free, and it didn't sting or irritate my skin at all. It removed most of my makeup.
This product is also reasonably affordable and does the same thing as much more expensive versions of Micellar water that are available.
Cons: It did not remove my mascara and eyeliner completely. I don't use waterproof products on my eyes and I found that, while this removed most of my make up, it had a hard time with eye makeup.

Simple Replenishing Rich Moisturizer

I've been using this moisturizer for two weeks now and I have to say that I'm not very impressed with it. I have combination acne-prone skin. Some of my skin is greasy and some of it is dry. I can't tell that this moisturizer does anything at all for my face. I appreciate that it is absolutely scent free and it seems gentle.. and yet my face doesn't feel soft or moisturized after. It made my face feel almost tight in an uncomfortable way - like when you put water on your face and let it dry.
I really wanted to like this, but unfortunately it did nothing for my skin.

I LOVE this product. Out of all of the things I received to test from Chick Advisor this is my favourite item. I have very fine and wimpy hair and I've been using this thing every day since I got it and my hair has never gotten greasy or heavy once. All of my best hair days have been while using this oil.
After towel drying my hair I apply a tiny drop of this to my hair from about my hears down (focusing on the ends) and blow dry my hair as usual. It makes my hair soft, and managable, and smooth.
It smells nice (to me) but if you dont like baby powder-type smells you may not like this.
