So I got to #tryitfree from Chick Advisor and I was so excited because I love doing at home Pedi's but find I have to do them so frequently because the paint wears and chips so quickly. This top coat, something I normally don't really give much credit too, was amazing. Not only did it coat nicely, it dried super quick too. It also dries nice and quick too. The best part though is that weeks after using this as part of a three step process, my nails still look fantastic! They are nice and shiny like I had just painted them, and I've had absolutely no chipping. It costs a little more than I normally pay for nail products but completely worth it when you think about how little to have to redo your nails and just how great they look for such a long time. I am completely in love with this product -

So I got to #tryitfree from Chick Advisor and I was so excited because I love doing at home Pedi's but find I have to do them so frequently because the paint wears and chips so quickly. This base was fantastic for long lasting though. It was nice and tacky so the actual colour stuck to it easily. It also dries nice and quickly so you don't have to wait around for too long before applying colour. It costs a little more than I normally pay for nail products but completely worth it when you think about how little to have to redo your nails -
Premier Protein Vanilla Shake

So I got to try this for free from chick advisor, and just like with the chocolate one, I couldn't get past the watery texture. It claims to be a shake but there's no thickness to it. Might be good to add to a real milkshake. It did do what it's advertised to do and killed my hunger while giving me a little energy boost. I did like that it was super high in protein and vitamins and low in sugar but that's about it. I can't see myself buying it tho -

So I got the chance to #tryitfree from chick advisor and I honestly was not super impressed. When I think protein shakes, I think thick and creamy. This one was really watery. It kinda threw me off. I did not enjoy the taste either. It was like drinking watered down chocolate milk. What was good was that it had a super high protein content and tonnes of vitamins and minerals. But so are a lot of other brands with tastier shakes. Definitely would not buy this product -

So I received this one for free from Chick Advisor and I was super impressed. I am not generally a fan of the whole lemon poppy seed flavour combo but I am a huge fan of 20 grams of protein so I dived right in anyways! I was actually super surprised at how tasty it was. Just like the chocolate peanut butter version, it was soft and moist and didn't break my teeth like every other protein bar I've ever tried has. The flavouring was so subtle that, to me, it actually kind of tasted like lemon cheesecake (and I LOVE cheesecake, so that is a big win!). I actually only got to eat about half of the sample I was given because my husband took my bite and confiscated the second bar! He is not a sweets person at all and he really enjoyed these so if you like something that is not overly sweet, this may be the bar for you. The price is pretty on point for the protein bar second, so no complaints there. Again, not my preferred flavour so I probably would not buy it for myself but I will definitely be looking for them to buy my husband. -

So I received this product free from Chick Advisor for testing purposes and all I can say is wow! I have a tried a number of bars over the years and it has generally been the same thing: love the benefits, hate the taste/texture. Not with these bars though! The texture was amazing, so smooth and creamy. Not that hard, break-your-teeth texture that you normally find with protein bars. That was what I prepared myself for so I was simply blown away when I sunk my teeth so easily into them. And the taste! It was so indulgent it almost felt like I was eating a regular chocolate bar instead of something healthy! You would not be able to guess that the sugar was reduced in these bars at all. It was a perfect mix of chocolate and peanut butter and I had to hold back from eating them all in one day they were just that good. I would completely, 100% buy these again and I have already recommended them to a tonne of people

This is now my new favourite eyeliner! I have to admit, I was nervous at first to use a brush to apply liner but it was so much easier than I anticipated and the looks I can achieve are fabulous. The colour goes on nice and smooth and it lasts all day long. No smudging either, unless I am going for the smokey eye (and this is the perfect liner to achieve that look) then I just take another brush and blend it out. It is just so simple, I am completely satisfied with this product. Price is fair, especially if you can find it on sale like I did! I'm all about super dark lines so I purchased the blackest black but I'm now excited to try some of the more bright, vibrant colours. I'm positive with the gel, they will just pop! Definitely going to recommend this product more -

I received this product to try for free from Chick Advisor and all opinions are my own. I was very excited when I was picked to try this product. My skin gets especially dry in the winter in particular spots and I hate how it looks when my makeup collects there. Even when I exfoliate, there is always some dryness. So I am always on the hunt for something that will keep my skin moisturized and supple to apply before my coverup. I found that this Nivea primer did do exactly that. Even my most problem areas were nice and soft and my make up looked flawless over it. I also enjoyed that it was only lightly scented. The only issue I had with it was, even though it claims to absorb instantly, I found that this was not so. The first time I applied it, I put my coverup over it right away and I could feel both makeup and primer rub off under my finger tips. Not very attractive at all! But the second time I tried it, I instead waiting a minute or two to absorb and found that it was a much smoother application. -

So I received the product free as part of the ChickAdvisor Product Review Club and I was super stoked to do so! I have always been a fan of the Boost products. I was really excited to see that they now offer their product with higher protein as this is exactly what I need in my diet. I am not a breakfast person at all, I actually get queasy often when I do force myself to eat before 11am. So these Boost shakes are absolutely perfect for me. They are packed full of nutrients and vitamins, they quench an appetite effectively and super fast and the best part is they are super gentle on a delicate stomach. I think they would make a helpful product for when you are sick, if you are incapable of keeping solid foods down. Not only have I already purchased this product again since receiving it for free to review, I've also bought it for my mom and father-in-law to boost their diets as well. So I would definitely recommend and I will continue to purchase it for my own household from now on. -
