I bought this nail polish in Saved by the Blue 230C. It's an electric blue shade that's super fun to wear. Normally I only wear pinks and purples but I saw a girl wearing bright blue and I had to try it too.
The quality of the polish was great (especially considering how inexpensive it is). It applied easily, gave great colour and lasted.
It's supposed to be fast drying, but I can't properly comment on this since I pretty much sat still after applying this product, just in case.
I'd recommend this product and colour!

I bought this deodorant in Icy Fresh because it was on sale. I love that it is aluminum free, but that's the only positive thing I can say.
This product really doesn't work for me (and unfortunately that sale was so good I bought 2!) I pretty much feel like I'm not wearing any deodorant at all - it doesn't keep me fresh and dry at all.

Essie Nail Polish in Mod Squad

This is the first time I've tried Essie nail polish and I'm really liking the colour. It's a pretty pink (not too bright, but not pastel either) that looked good after only 1 coat. I did do a second coat so that the colour is brighter and lasts longer. I would totally wear this colour again.
It found that it did take quite a while to dry fully. After I have been wearing it for about 7 hours, the way I was resting my hands had one of my nails pressed against the buckle in my purse and it messed up my polish! I would have expected this had I painted my nails, say, within the hour, but this was a VERY long time after.
Even so, I would recommend Essie polish again because of the pretty colours and the price is great!

I quite liked this body wash. The smell was fresh and nice and it left my skin feeling clean after use. I've really been trying to make a point of using more natural and organic products so I love that this product is 100% biodegradable and free of suphate, parabens and colorants.
I am enjoying using this product so I would recommend it, even though the price is fairly steep.

I got to try a bottle of the new Strawberry Lemonade flavour courtesy of the brand. I should add a disclaimer that I do work for ChickAdvisor and had a hand in putting together the Product Review Club for this product. But with that said, if I didn't like this product, I easily could have avoided reviewing it!
I enjoyed the flavour of Strawberry Lemonade. I'm a fan of flavoured waters because sometimes I find plain water to be too boring. I thought this one was refreshing and had a good flavour that was strong enough that you could really taste it (unlike with some other flavoured waters), but it wasn't so strong that it tasted like juice. Plus the 10 calorie and added vitamins is ideal.
I also quite like the shape of the bottle! I would buy this again.

I tried this product a couple nights ago. It's supposed to be for people will curly/frizzy hair to help it stay straight for a couple days after washing. In the instructions, it says to spray this product on wet hair, then blow dry straight and use a flat iron. It also says that if you need a touch up on the second or third day, to use your flat iron then. My first thought was: what's the point of the product if you have to flat iron as usual anyways?
And after testing the product, I don't think it helped my hair straighten easier at all. It was a very light spray which I suppose is ideal if you don't want your hair weighed down, but as someone with thick and curly hair, I NEED weight or I'll end up looking like a poodle. For this reason, I much prefer to use a thicker cream on my hair whether I'm leaving it natural or straightening it. I also found that my hair didn't feel as smooth as it does when I use glossing creams.
I got to try this out as a brand sample but I would not buy it for myself. I still love the classic Frizz-Ease serum though!

This week I got to test out a bunch of new perfumes that are launching this Spring and this one stood out to me.
I always prefer fresh scents that fall under the fruity or floral/fruity category of perfume, which is where this one lies. As soon as I smelled it, I knew I liked it - reminds me a bit of the Chloe perfume which I currently covet.
It has sweet top notes of magnolia, rose, jasmine and freesia. As the day goes on, the middle and base notes are a blend of some other exotic flowers, but it also gets a bit richer with a touch of palisander wood. It's a really fresh and pretty scent that's perfect for summer - I'm a big fan!
It also comes in a really pretty bottle - it's pink and the cap has two large doves intertwined on it. It'll look great sitting on my dresser with my other perfumes!

I saw this movie earlier this week and I thought it was a hoot! I was laughing most of the movies, and when I wasn't laughing I was probably smiling.
It's a comedy about 2 middle-aged men whose wives give them a week off from marriage. They start off thinking they are huge studs and can get any girl they choose, but soon realize that what I remembered about dating was very different than reality.
I recommend this film for a good laugh!

Blue Valentine (2010)

I saw this in theatres a few weeks ago. It leaves you feeling kind of depressed because it follows the story of a couple who falls in love when they are young and grow apart over the years. He loves her, she's falling out of love with him. I thought Michelle Williams and Ryan Gosling did an excellent job in their roles and you can really feel the pain they are going through emotionally.
As Becky said below, there are certainly some graphic scenes that were a little uncomfortable to watch, but I enjoyed it nonetheless.
The movie is raw, real, and dramatic. I'd recommend it but expect to feel a little depressed after!

I got a brand sample of this product in #245 Pinot.
I'd say this product is ideal for everyday use because it's made from natural ingredients and the colour isn't too bold. Since we essentially end up eating our lipsticks (it can't be avoided), it's a good idea to use one that is made from all natural or AS MUCH natural ingredients as possible! Once this gloss/balm on your lips, it feels like a balm but it gives a fair bit of colour and a bit of shine.
I don't particularly care for the applicator that it comes in. It's a really small tip so it doesn't apply that smoothly. I guess it's similar to how some lip balms apply, but not the very smooth ones. I just found the application process a bit awkward.
I do like this product, but I can't say I was "wowed".
