I don't know why this is called Insta-Dri, it takes just as long as other polishes I have, and usually I need two coats anyway. This polish is gummier than other polishes, even other Sally Hansen products. Others really enjoy the sturdy brush...   +

If you're a lip balm aficionado such as myself, you've probably owned a few products by Rosebud Perfume. Their most popular product being their classic Rosebud Salve, a moisturizer with multiple uses but more often found in a purse as an...   +

I snagged a 3-set of these glosses awhile ago, the lemon balm, the cinnamint and the ultramenth and this one was by far my favourite. It's a great smelling menthol that isn't cloying or sweet, it's refreshing and hard to stop licking...   +

I received a sample lip gloss from Benefit and was really excited to start using it because I had heard such good things. Unfortunately this was not to be. The colour Foxy Lady was quite lovely and really complimentary but I had to reapply...   +

The first time I found this product was at a hospital while visiting a family member, while indulging in some hospital gift-shop related therapy of my own, I grabbed a tube of hand lotion that was on sale. Little did I know it would change my hand...   +

I purchased these strictly on the recommendations of other Chick Advisor ladies and I must say, thank you! The Olay Daily Facials are a fairly straightforward product, they have two sides, light blue dots for cleansing and dark blue dots for...   +

I receieved the Crest 3D White Whitestripes as part of a Chick Advisor review and was really looking forward to brightening my smile. I've always wanted to try a teeth whitening product, but the high cost has always put me off, and unfortunately...   +

Full disclosure - I received this product through Chickadvisor. I'm a full-time post-grad student with multiple jobs, freelance and part time in a really busy industry. Therefore, at least a few mornings a week I'm super groggy and...   +

I received this product as a gift from a friend who works at Lush and is always tempting us with teeny offerings to get us to go to the store (it usually works, she's pure evil) but this is a product I'd never purchase again. The bar is a...   +

I grabbed a bunch of these at a $1 sale so I feel rather bad writing a middling review, but while these are amazing cheap colours, keep in mind the quality is about right for the price too. I'm currently wearing Cherry Red but also own Crushed...   +
