My skin is sensitive to getting too dry very quickly. Washing with traditional cleansers usually results in me not being able to ever replenish the moisture lost. Micellar waters really help me cleanse my skin without needing to wash it. Still sometimes my skin is reactive and flares up. That never happens with this formula. It does a great job of cleaning makeup and dirt without stripping my skin or making it turn beet red.
My skin is less dry when using it. Less red. Less irritated. I find I still need another eye makeup remover since I use pretty strong water proof products, or have to hold it for a min over the eye area before swiping.
I got this product from CA review club to review.

CND CREATIVE PLAY Nail Lacquer
I really like the colour selection from this line. The Crimson shade is really smooth and pretty. It took two coats to get full coverage. The brush gives a really good presission

Dove® Regenerative Nourishment Serum-In-Oil
This is a highly fragranced oil that is actually quite weightless and nuroushing. I really liked how weightless it was on my hair. It does have a lot of silicone in it though.

I like that it's wand doesn't hold too much mascara. You can still see the green of the wand so it isn't packed full of stuff. I didn't find clumping to be an issue at all. Really nice effect of the eyes. I also like that bristles slightly get smaller at the tip so you don't make a mess of your inner lashes -

This made my dry spots pop out more, my pores a bit more visible and did nothing blurring. That being said my skin feels very smooth and soft
For the price and size I think I'll stick with benefits stay all day stick. It's double the size and not much more money.
I received this product to test for free from ChickAdvisor.

Simple Micellar Make-Up Remover Wipes
Most wipes can be too harsh and not effective. But these work really well, aren't oily at all and really got my makeup off, quick and easy. Plus my ski doesn't feel dry or tight.

I liked these bars, they tasted good and had lots of protien in them. They also had a good texture.
They did not replace my lunch though, I ate one at 1 and was starving and hangry by 4. I think they are great but no way a meal replacement.
They do taste a lot like other bars on the market, I think a bit better. I would consider eating half as a mid day snack.

I received this product as part of the Chick Advisor review club.
I got orange flavoured version of these drink mixes, I found they tasted like artificial vanilla and had zero orange in them. I really tasted like someone squirted a lot of artificial vanilla into my water. It wasn't bad, it wasn't good. It said to mix it with 1/2 a cup of water, I mixed it with 2 cups and found it was an ok strength.
As for its claims, I think it contains the vitamins and caffeine to get me though part of my day. It really isn't anything fantastic or crazy to boost my energy. I had one around noon and am now drowzy at 5 so there is no way it gives me the pep needed to get to the gym after work, but it is a bit of a boost.
I like the convenient packages and that it isn't a powder.
What I did not like one bit was that it contains two PARABENS in it!!! I do not want those in anything I digest, period. Because of this I would not buy this again.

I revived this product from chick advisor to review. I got the shade Crimson crush, which is as its name describes it, a crimson red. I feel it is a classic red
, reminiscent of the holidays with great metallic sheen to it. The two step cnd vinylux system is easy to use. I like that no base coat is needed and that the top coat leaves the nails so glossy and perfect. As for Crimson crush, it went on so well. Smooth and opaque. That I didn't feel a second coat was nessisary. Which lets face it, never happens. I found the formula lasted longer then the average polish, but with my wrough usage l, still only lasted a few days. The brush is a typical round one, nothing fancy or special about it
Overall I like the two step system and would consider getting more shades to have in my collection.
