Honestly I had high hopes for this product. I am a fan of skincare and makeup and the blending of the 2 together seemed like a dream.
To be fair though, I've never really noticed an exceptional difference from days I wear primer to days I don't.
I am curious to try out other products in this line though!
A little about me and my skin,
I have combination skin (oily t-zone) perhaps this primer helped in lessoning the breaking up of product on my nose but really nothing exceptional to paying the $32 this retails for on their site.
Like I said I do like the concept behind this, but I didn't notice enough of a difference for me to rush out and purchase this particular product.

I received this as a sample to try from Chick advisor.
I was extremely excited to try this as protein shakes are part of my daily diet in helping meet my Macros.
Though I did prefer the Chocolate one over the vanilla shake, they fell flat for me as it just tasted very fake.
The nutritional values were great! loved that it had only 1g of sugar 160 Calories isn't bad either and the vitamins and minerals deff are a selling feature.
Its a good convenient Protein shake I just have others that meet my needs better.
I never mixed these with anything so as to keep my review pure.
Ultimately it came down to the taste and I just wasn't a 100% fan. It's not terrible but not something I would gravitate towards again.

I was sent this product for free to try through Chick Advisor. I was excited to do so as I include protein powder/shakes in my regular diet as it helps me hit my macros.
Though it was convenient and it was alright I probably wouldn’t rush out to get them. The price point is comparable to other brands and I liked that they had only 1g of sugar. Essentially it all sounds great on paper but the taste is what will probably turn me off from buying them. They tasted too fictitious… but if that’s your thing these may be perfect for you!
Like I said they aren’t terrible, just not overtly amazing. Now if it was a straight powder I would have had more room to play as I bake with protein powders all the time.
Similarly because it was to sample the shakes I didn’t add anything to them to make this a more pure review so as not to say “Its amazing with a banana or peanut butter!” So that my review may stand on its own. It very well could be but I felt that would be cheating lol.
I took mine to the gym and like I said made for a convenient portable snack.

Dove Powder Anti-Perspirant Stick
I've been using dove antiperspirant for years. I love its sent and texture, it doesn't ruin my clothes it's perfect! And I love that it has moisture to keep my pits soft (weird thing to want I know but once you have it you never want to lose it lol)

I was in a pinch and thought hey perhaps I will use this box dye to get me through.
NEVER USE BOX DYE is what I should of said but I was impatient.
I had a more ashy lavender silver hair tone with about 2 inches of regrowth. Wanting to get my headshots retaken I had lifted my roots but had no more of my colour left and thought:
"Hey this Smoky blue could do the trick in a pinch, its silver, and the blue tones should help cancel any brassiness of my lifted roots"
It skipped right over the smoky part and went right for BLUE! my hair was Blue folks!! Periwinkle blue!
To its advantage it faded relatively quick with constant washing and the use of baking soda and baby shampoo but its still patchy and awful!
I've not yet tried to correct it for fear of melting my hair off as I have read in some others reviews so fingers crossed I have hair when that happens.. also no new headshots for me, not with this hair at least.

I received this free to try and they were absolutely delish!
I love that more brands are making gluten free DELICIOUS alternatives for the likes of folk like me!
I found these bars very filling, and they did keep me satiated for a good period of time. I ate mine mostly after working out at the gym for 40 mins so it was a welcomed snack and while I was weight training these helped bump my protein levels (I usually have a hard time meeting those macros) so that I could fuel the muscles I had been working on.
The lemon poppy seed one was refreshing like a little protein muffin to go! had just the right amount of tart and sweet!

I received this free to try and they were absolutely delish!
I love that more brands are making gluten free DELICIOUS alternatives for the likes of folk like me!
My only qualm was when I received it I had been doing a Ketogenic diet, meaning very little to no Carbs. These are not Keto Friendly.
There is quite a bit of Carbs in these bars (19g net carbs to 20g protein). Witch is great if you are running on Glucosamine and not Ketones.
If you are monitoring your Glucose levels you may want to find an alternative.
If you are not lets get into it!

The peanut butter one was my fave, but the lemon poppy seed one was also good.

Public service announcement for blondes!
I picked up the Matrix Total Results Brass Off back in April (2017) and holy god it works!
My hair pulls brassy real quick as I descend from a long line of gingers (Got that Irish, Scottish and English in me) From the first time I used it, it took the warmth out of my hair and replaced it with the ashy silver tones I had originally coloured my hair with!!
It's AMAZING!!
However... if you leave it on too long, like lets say for the duration of a Star Wars movie... you're gonna end up with lavender blue hair... just saying ;)

I had a friend recommend the Wet n Wild photofocus foundation and I am not gonna lie, I rolled my eyes at her.
You see, I am a makeup lover and can be pretty finicky not to mention I am as pale as the moon on a well lit night... I have that #PaleGirlProblems in FULL! So to think a drugstore brand would be able to match my pale ass was a laughable joke! Most pale foundations are way too pink and just off on me in general.
I was horribly mistaken!!
This foundation, NO LIE! has become my favorite foundation. Forget that its like $7 or that its drug store or that its not a fancy high end name brand its just AMAZING!!!!
It actually matches me (porcelain) like my neck perfectly! and it also brightens up my completion so I don't look like night of the living dead!! its more yellow based than pink witch I LOVE!!!
I am oily in my t-zone and like most high end foundations the maximum life I have gotten out of it before having to blot is like 6 hours.
BUT WAIT THERES MORE!!
Added bonus I will throw in for you!
I work out at the gym and I sweat like its my job... I am disgusting I've accepted this; I got lazy one night and didn't take off my makeup and even after blotting sweat away from my face with a towel and literally sweating profusely (Like I don't thing you fully get how much I sweat think of a lot and then times that by like 1000 lol)
my foundation remained in tact, granted not like perfect after application but toats passable, and it was more than 12 hours after the fact!!
Trust me!! try this foundation you shant regret it! and even if some off chance that you do (lets say horrendously Sahara desert dry skin) it's $7 bucks!!!
Pro tip:
I apply mine with a damp beauty sponge and set with a translucent powder in my oily areas
