St. Ives® Acne Control Apricot Scrub
I have tried a few more expensive facial scrubs but always come back to this. It works gently; it is well priced and it comes in a container that travels well. WIN WIN! And it smells great!

I was really excited about trying out this polish and top coat through my association with Chick Advisor. The color I received is called DANDELION #180 - I would call it NUDE... not a color I would purchase myself. I followed the instructions to wash and dry my hands thoroughly and then applied the first coat. I let it dry overnight and then applied the second coat in the morning... let that dry for several hours and then applied the top coat.
The brush in the nail polish seemed quite small to me and I had to use several strokes to apply it. It is a watery looking formula and didn't apply evenly. Even after a second coat it was streaky. I wore it as prescribed anyway, for the sake of testing it.
The top coat applied evenly and dried very quickly.
So, one coat on Wednesday evening, then a second on Thursday morning and the top coat Thursday afternoon. By Tuesday morning the polish was breaking down and starting to chip. Normally I would start picking away at it but I didn't and found that it doesn't readily peel away like other polishes do either.
I also found it somewhat difficult to remove with nail polish remover as well.
Overall, I didn' t care for the polish but the top coat seems all right.

This has an SPF of 15 and I use it as a foundation over my regular moisturizer - love it. Nice consistency and sheer coverage. I usually shake the tube before I open it as it does have a bit of a tendency to separate. I use just a bit and it really goes a long way. -

I received this product to test and review through the ChickAdvisor review club.
I have only been using this moisturizer for about 5 days, and although it is a reallly nice texture, and it does make my skin feel smooth, I have not noticed any of the brightening effect yet. It is a bit pricier than my usual moisturizer so not sure if I would keep using it after the trial bottle is gone or not... if I change my mind down the line, I will come back and update my review.

I received this product from ChickAdvisor to try and review. And I am really happy with it.
I have tried other makeup removers and never felt that they really cleansed my skin. But this micellar water not only easily removed every bit of make-up, it left my skin feeling really clean and soft. There is no rubbing involved and it did not irritate my eyes like some cleansers do. There wasn't even any tingling like there can be with an alcohol cleaner or toner. No leftover film or a need to splash water on my face to rinse. This is something I will purchase myself after this trial bottle is gone.

This is the first turkey bacon I have ever found in Canada that tastes good and has a good texture too. I am a Weight Watcher and 2 slices is only 1 Smart Point on the program. It can be pan-'fried' or miked and only takes a couple of minutes to cook. GREAT!
Good ingredient list and none of the nitrates that real bacon has.
I found it at Costco.

Premixed shakes come in vanilla and chocolate and the flavors are truly tasty. The shakes are thick and tend to settle when sitting for some time so make sure to really shake the pack before opening to drink. I like to use them as protein/snacks on the go or even grab one out of the fridge at home after a workout. They are great blended with fruit as well.
They don't have to be refrigerated but I like them cold so chill for a few hours or overnight before using.
Currently available at Canadian Costco till the end of March 2016.

I have been using a lash primer for a few years now... first tried one in a sample makeup box I received... when it was gone I went looking for a replacement and was referred to this Smashbox product by the cosmetician at the Shopper's Drug Mart I visited. I love it.
Yes, it is a bit pricey, but worth every penny. I coat my lashes and then immediately apply my mascara. I can get away with only one coat now.... helps my mascara adhere and dry quickly, and the primer makes lashes longer and thicker. And it washes off easily at day's end, even though I use a waterproof mascara.
Cannot image using mascara without my primer now!
