The Colossal Big Shot mascara by Maybelline is an effective, reliable, and trustworthy addition to your makeup bag.
I love the bullet-shaped capsule in gold and purple. The brush is the typical shape usually seen and the wand has an attractive voluptuous shape. According to the website: "The Big Shot brush features unique, wavy bristles that cradle lashes, while the collagen formula delivers bold volume."
I found it applied easily and made my eyelashes appear longer and fuller after just one coat.
Thank you ChickAdvisor for sending this to me to try! #gotitfree #loveMaybellineNewYork

I am so in love with this exfoliating cleanser, made in Canada, by Vasanti!
I received a 40g tube with the ChickAdvisor Premium member gift bag.
It proclaims to improve your skin's texture (which I need!) to reveal softer, bright & younger looking skin! It is paraben-free, sulfate free, vegan friendly, and contains no plastic beads (yay!)
It is quite abrasive but for me it really feels like it is doing something (if you have super sensitive skin, I would maybe do a small test first, just in case). There is minimal scent, is easy to dispense and is in a pretty tube. A little is all that is required, and you only need to use it a couple of times per week. I am going to finish off the whole tube and look forward to brighter, smoother skin!
I would definitely buy this again, and recommend to friends!

I had a difficult time deciding whether to recommend this product or not.
I am inexperienced using concealer, and I really need to learn how to use it! I like the format of this product (a stick) that seems easy to apply and convenient to carry in a makeup bag.
However, I don't feel it was for me and my mature skin. Perhaps the shade wasn't right for me. Or maybe it was the illuminating factor. I found it difficult to blend and it seemed to accentuate my flaws rather than conceal them. I wouldn't buy this particular concealer again for these reasons.
However, in saying all that, I think some would like it a lot - those with more youthful, smooth skin (my teen daughter liked it!) for example.
Thank you @chickadvisor for sending me this product to try (#gotitfree, #LoveMaybellineNewYork) I had a lot of fun experimenting with it!

If you only own one eyeshadow palette, I believe Maybelline "The 24k Nudes" is the one to have !
Thank you @chickadvisor for sending me some lovely cosmetics from Maybelline to test out! (#gotitfree, #LoveMaybellineNewYork).
Honestly, I haven't been wearing a lot of makeup lately. So I was thrilled to be chosen to try these new products. I am not the type of person who has to have the latest and greatest palette, and who has multiple sets lying around. I think, however, that these eye shadows from Maybelline are all a person needs! The colours are varied, highly pigmented, and so pretty. A little bit goes a long way for added some colour and sparkle to the eye! They would suit all skin tones, I think. Some have sparkles and some are more subdued. They are suitable for everyday wear, or can be jazzed up for an evening out!
With 12 different colours, there are so many options. The package includes a double-headed applicator, too. I think the design of the package is very elegant and pleasing to the eye!
It is fun to play and explore with different variations. There are ideas to follow on the back, or there are how-to's available on their web site. It is great for someone like me who is just learning!
The only downfall is that my teenaged daughter is going to steal it away from me! Maybe I will have to hide it from her ;)

I have found my new favourite oil!!
Thanks to ChickAdvisor , I received a 1L bottle of Becel Olive Plus (#gotitfree #tryBecel).
The label states clearly that it is a source of Omega-3 polyunsaturates, and is a 3 oil blend of canola oil, extra virgin olive oil and mid-oleic sunflower oil. These are all healthy oils that are good for the heart.
The taste blew me away! I like to add a smidge of balsamic vinegar, and just dip some bread in to this delicious oil! It is also good for cooking and for making salad dressings.
I was very impressed with this oil, and will definitely buy it again in the future. I recommend that you give it a try!

The heart on Becel Margarine says it all!
I was so happy to have been chosen to #tryBecel through the ChickAdvisor Product Review Club!
After receiving a coupon, I picked up a 2lb tub of Becel Original at the Real Canadian Superstore. I was excited to give it a whirl!
I love that Becel 'starts with simple ingredients'. It contains no trans fat, is non hydrogenated, is low in saturated fat and is a source of Omega-3! In addition, it has no artificial preservatives, flavours, or colours. Awesome, right? It is definitely a healthy choice !
I love that Becel is great for cooking, baking and as a spread! You can find all sorts of delicious recipes on the Becel.ca website.
It is a soft, creamy, silky delicious formula and is a great choice for baking and frying, too.
I love knowing this margarine is a healthy choice for my family!
I will definitely be buying Becel again!

I love everything that cake makes! They are truly a fabulous Canadian company!
This rich, heavy cream (balm) is awesome for keeping hands smooth and soft. and like all cake products, the scent is heavenly!! (French vanilla)
I have a bit of difficulty squeezing the product out of the container though, as it is so thick - maybe a different sort of container would make it easier - like a round container that can be scooped from instead.
I love that all the ingredients are simple and natural, and there is no 'bad stuff' in there!
Definitely a thumbs up from me for this hand repair balm!!

oh, yes, I love this! the scent is absolutely glorious. if I close my eyes, I can imagine I am in France (LOL). I adore everything about this - the packaging, the texture, the beautiful scent, the suds. It leaves me feeling clean and refreshed.
I can't wait to try some of the other fragrances too.
Watch for sales! I have seen at $4.99 at Walmart and Loblaws.

This product is made in Canada (yay) by Cake Beauty. It contains shea butter, coconut oil and aloe vera but does not contain parabens, phthalates, GMOs, mineral oil, petrolatum, or trickosan.
The scent I tried is coconut & cream (yum). Even though it is a body lotion, I have been applying to my hands. I have noticed a dramatic difference in the softness of my skin! This lotion is quite thick and rich. It does absorb very quickly and has a pleasant scent (like all Cake products!).
I like it a lot!
