I absolutely love this primer! I use it on its own as the only mascara in my makeup routine. I like the fact that it's brown and a little bit more "liquidy" than the typical, tar-black, goopy mascara - the unique colour and consistency combination definitely makes my lashes look more natural and is great at avoiding clumps. This is one of the only high-end products that I went out to buy after receiving a free sample. Can't say enough great things about this! -

Pleasantly surprised in discovering and experimenting with Nivea's new 2-in-1 moisturizing primer (normal skin formula).
In my daily routine, I usually start by applying moisturizer/day cream, followed by primer. Nivea's new primer allowed me to easily combine these steps with only one product. Unlike other primers with blurring features, this primer didn't leave my skin feeling greasy or break me out the next day (other brands have broken me out the next day - especially on my nose, which is oily to begin with). Not only did the primer have a great blurring effect (which was great as a stand-alone and didn't even require me to follow up with foundation on my better skin days), but on those occasions when I topped it off with foundation, it served as a great base. The primer didn't make my foundation and concealer slip all over my face and I didn't look like a greasy mess a few hours in. I was also very impressed with how it helped cover up dry patches along the lower creases of my nose. I would absolutely pick this primer up again - a great combination of efficacy and price is hard to find!

Great anti-perspirant for everyday use! Not only does Dove have a relatively lower level of aluminum than other anti-perspirants, but the available scents are pleasant and not at all cloying. My favourite is the powder fresh scent, which is reminiscent of baby powder and tolerable throughout the day. The only downside of the product is the occasion white streaks on dark clothing or silk pieces - when wearing certain outfits, I now switch over to Dove's dry spray for those particular days. -

I received this product free as part of the ChickAdvisor Product Review Club. This is my top pick of the Vichy Aqualia Thermal line - this cream was exactly as advertised. Light, quickly absorbed into the skin, and didn't feel my skin feeling greasy, all the while hydrating in overdrive! This cream is definitely lighter and its consistency a tad runnier than other moisturizers I've purchased, which I really enjoy as it doesn't make my skin look oily or enlarge my pores. This is definitely a product I can see myself repurchasing, particularly as the price point is not that far off from other, comparable high-quality face cream brands. Very impressed with Vichy! -

I received this product free as part of the ChickAdvisor Product Review Club. I absolutely loved this product - although a bit watery at first, it became more gel-like after shaking and multiple uses; the consistency was smooth and light enough to put on my face in both the mornings, before applying my makeup, and at night, before bed. The scent was also very light and pleasant (a light, flowery smell), which I really enjoyed, particularly when applying the serum at night. A bit sticky to the touch at first, but my skin quickly absorbed it and I could see the difference in how hydrated my usually-parched skin was finally looking.
Bonus points for the chic glass bottle - the bottle had some serious heft to it and the pump-top was very sturdy, making the product feel like an indulgence!

I received this product free as part of the ChichkAdvisor Product Review Club. The texture of this balm felt similar to a primer, in that it was thick and a little gooey. The instructions did note that it could also be used as a makeup base. Following the instructions on the box, I "kneaded" the balm into my browbone and undereye areas. While I didn't really notice much of a difference to the areas, the balm was a refreshing wake-up as part of my morning routine. I can't say that I would necessarily go out and repurchase this item, as it really just seemed...ineffective and to be honest, quite pointless. I may continue to use it as a primer, however. -

A great alternative to drugstore hair colour kits! This hair colour is effective at covering greys, without the use of all the harsh chemicals and terrible smell of other brands. Before discovering this brand, I was hesitant about colouring my hair too regularly to cover up grays, but now am absolutely more willing to do it. Also, the colour match is perfect! I purchase a 5N brown and it is almost identical to my natural colour - as the colour disappears, it is incredibly difficult to determine what was my natural colour vs. the dye. -
