As someone who is not a huge fan of cleaning (or having to put much effort into it to be honest), this spray is like magic! After having recently moved into a place that I'm fairly certain hadn't been cleaned in 5 years and had been lived in by a bunch of guys (read: FILTHY), my roommate and I put this to the test and literally scrubbed the entire kitchen from top to bottom using only this spray. At one point I sprayed it on the range hood that was covered in grease so thick it was a solid orange/yellow, and I kid you not, after sitting for 5 minutes I was basically able to wipe/rinse the grease off. I definitely will be keeping this as a staple in my kitchen. Do yourself a favour, and GO OUT AND BUY THIS!

Definitely am a fan of these wipes! They smell great and are perfect for the kitchen or the bathroom - whether wiping up a spill or just giving your counter or table a quick wipe. I definitely walk away feeling confident that the surface is clean after using these. I've tried other wipes that tend to leave my hands feeling sticky afterwards but these Vim wipes didn't leave any residue on my hands which was a huge bonus. Highly recommend!

I'm a big user of hand cream and always have it on my desk, and can't say I've ever been brand-loyal. I find most hand creams are either too greasy or not moisturizing enough because I have such dry hands. NIVEA Q10 Anti-Age Hand Cream has literally changed my life -- not only is it a great texture/consistency and not at all greasy, it also leaves my skin feeling hydrated and silky smooth all day, and I've definitely noticed a huge improvement in the softness of my hands after using it only for a few days. I'm hooked!

NIVEA Q10 Firming Body Oil

I love using coconut oil in the summertime when I'm getting a lot (too much?!) sun because I find a body lotion just doesn't cut it for me. I tried NIVEA Q10 Firming Body Oil and have honestly been converted from the very first use! The macadamia nut oil and avocado oil work wonders on my skin and is actually more effective than using coconut oil alone. It left my normally dry skin feeling smooth and hydrated after as few as a couple of uses, and definitely gave me a glow.

I love Batiste Dry Shampoo XXL Volume Big & Bouncy so much - I don't even know where to start!
As someone who is super picky about their hair (and the products I put in it!) Batiste has been my go-to for dry shampoo for years. The formula is light enough that it doesn't coat my hair with tons of gunk, and the XXL Volume in particular is great for fine hair like mine that can always use some extra bounce. I use it almost every day, and find it can extend the cleanliness of my hair up to an extra 2 or 3 days -- which is gold when you're busy and on the go like me!
Batiste as a company is also amazing, as their formula is sulfate and paraben-free, vegan-friendly, and they don't test on animals. What's not to love?!

Jane Iredale So-Bronze Bronzing Powder
Along the same vein of my review for the Jane Iredale mineral foundation (here: http://www.chickadvisor.com/item/jane-iredale-purepressed-base-mineral-foundation-in-satin/?rid=420382#R420382), I can't say enough great things about the Jane Iredale... +
Along the same vein of my review for the Jane Iredale mineral foundation (here: http://www.chickadvisor.com/item/jane-iredale-purepressed-base-mineral-foundation-in-satin/?rid=420382#R420382), I can't say enough great things about the Jane Iredale So-Bronze bronzing powder!
As someone with sensitive, acne-prone skin, it's taken me years to find the right products for my skin, and the Jane Iredale line is honestly the only thing that has ever worked for me.
The bronzing powder itself is light-weight and doesn't leave my skin feeling caked or clogged. It also provides just *enough* bronzing for my fair skin, without making me look like an orange (which is a complete struggle when you're fair skinned, am I right ladies??). I wear it all year long and simply applying it more liberally in the summer -- so it's very versatile.
To echo what I said in my previous review for their mineral makeup, the best part is that Jane Iredale is a Canadian company, stationed in Calgary, and all of their makeup is hypoallergenic, dermatologist tested, gluten-free, wheat-free, certified cruelty-free, and this bronzing powder in particular is vegan friendly!
It's also great for the environment because the compact itself is refillable. So a huge win-win-win!

As someone with sensitive, acne-prone skin, I've searched for the right foundation for years. A couple of years back I stumbled upon the Jane Iredale mineral foundation collection through my esthetician, and have never looked back.
The compact offers amazing coverage (I never in a million years would have thought I would be using a POWDER to cover my spots!) yet it's light-weight enough that it doesn't leave my skin feeling caked or clogged.
The best part is that Jane Iredale is a Canadian company, stationed in Calgary, and all of their makeup is hypoallergenic, dermatologist tested, gluten-free, wheat-free, and vegan friendly! This powder also acts as an antioxidant, helps calm inflammation, minimizes UV damage, and acts as a sunscreen.
It's also great for the environment because the compact itself is refillable, and I find it lasts me about 3 months.

I absolutely swear by Anastasia DIPBROW Pomade in Soft Brown.
Having overplucked my eyebrows back in the day when it was the cool thing to do (who didn't?!), I've struggled to make the innermost part of my eyebrows look full again now that big, bushy eyebrows are back in style. Pencils and brow mascara never last long enough on my oily skin and they always make my brows look phony and too "drawn" on. On top of that, where my eyebrows ARE actually thick, they're also unruly and refuse to be tamed (the eyebrow struggle is so real...) so I need something with more substance to it to tame them...
Cue Anastasia DIPBROW Pomade. It's like a wax/gel/pomade that stays on my skin all day at work (I never have to reapply) -- I can even swim with this stuff on and know I won't come out of the water eyebrow-less (hallelujah!). I took it backpacking through South East Asia for 4 MONTHS and my eyebrow game was consistently on point .
It also makes my eyebrows look incredibly natural which is a bonus. If you want something more defined, you just apply more product with a sharper brush; or blend for something more natural.
I swear by the stuff and will never go without it again. It retails for about $40 I think? But the jar lasts me a year so it's an all around MUST-HAVE!

If you're looking for a mascara for a night out on the town -- this is the one!
I use BADgal on top of They're Real when I want some extra volume and thickness to my eyelashes. It's definitely worth every penny and leaves me looking like I have false lashes on! Highly recommend.

I've searched far and wide for the perfect mascara for years, and I can confidently say I've finally found it!
I have really long lashes and waterproof mascara is a must-have for me -- and They're Real checks all the boxes! The wand helps separate my lashes and the formula itself prevents them from clumping, so it's an all-around win-win.
I've been using this mascara for 2+ years and wouldn't dream of changing it!
