I notice that when I use this cream consistently, my nails have a healthy sheen to them, and I am less prone to hang nails. It also does a good job of keeping my cuticles moisturized.

This is my favorite hand cream, but due to its price, I don't buy it as often as I would like to. Having said that though, this is my go to hand cream in the winter time.
It is non greasy, has a pleasant herbal fragrance, and moisturizes my chapped hands the best out of all the hand creams I own-both boutique and budget brands.
I use it on my cuticles also, and it does just as excellent a job as any cuticle cream.

I received this for free from ChickAdvisor in return for my honest review. #gotitfree
The top coat is very easy to use and the consistency is not too thick or thin. The brush gives excellent control, so it was easy to avoid flooding my cuticles which can happen with lesser quality top coats.
I used the top coat to refresh my 4 day old CND Vinylux weekly polish manicure. It gave a nice shine back to the color and was able to protect my polish for another 4 days before I started seeing more chips.
Overall, I like this top coat, but it definitely does not last for a week. Unless you get gel nails done, most polishes/top coats start developing chips within a week's time anyways.
All in all, I still would recommend this to anyone looking for an effective, high shine top coat.

I got the CND Vinylux Weekly Polish in Bloodline which is a beautiful, deep, rich ox blood red. It's a classy and weather appropriate color.
The length from the handle to the brush is not too short or too long, so it gave me excellent control in applying the color. It was very easy to keep the polish away from my cuticles and the application was very smooth.
The first coat of the polish already gives a nice, smooth coat, but the second coat allows the true deep color of the polish to show up. The finish was smooth and shiny.
Without a protective top coat, the polish lasted approximately 4 days before I started getting minute chips at the edges. I work with my hands a lot, so in my opinion, this is a very good polish as most will only last a day or two before I start getting the chips.
I highly recommend this polish to anyone looking for a beautiful color and a tough, long lasting polish that is easy to apply.

The Nivea Q10 Anti-Age Hand Cream is a permanent staple in my purse. It has done a fantastic job of keeping my hands moisturized and reducing the lines that I see often on the back of my hands.
Although this is a cream, the consistency is not super heavy, and it is not greasy at all. The product absorbs easily into the skin, and I find that I don't have to reapply it as often as I do with lesser quality hand creams.
I highly recommend this hand cream to anyone looking for a good, effective, everyday hand cream.

The Nivea Q10 Firming Body Lotion works so well to keep my skin hydrated. It has that relaxing and nostalgic light Nivea scent. The texture is perfect, and it is non sticky and non greasy.
I have been using this consistently mornings and nights, and my legs and arms have never looked and felt so soft and hydrated. Because my skin is so well hydrated, the texture of my skin also looks firmer.
I highly recommend this lotion to anyone looking for an all purpose body lotion that moisturizes effectively.

The Nivea Q10 Firming Body Oil is such a pleasure to use. It has a nice, light fragrance, and is non sticky, which is very important as I don't want any stains on my clothes or bedding.
This is very effective when used right after a shower when the skin is still damp. The oil left my skin feeling silky smooth, glowing and hydrated. I can still feel the positive results the next morning.
I highly recommend this to anyone who wants something light for hydration during the summer months.

The item was received free as part of my being on the ChickAdvisor review panel.
Pros: Soft, chewy texture
Not too sweet
Natural tasting
At 200 calories/bar, it is relatively low in calories
20 grams of protein/bar
Provides 20% of dietary fiber
Cons: Dry, powdery taste to every bite
Overall, this is a protein bar that I would eat (but not go out of my way to buy) again if I need something quick and nutritious when I am on the run. Even though there are many pros to it, I cannot get over the dry, powdery taste that it has. I found that I had to wash it down with a lot of milk.

I much prefer this flavor over the Lemon Poppy Seed which I also reviewed. For some reason, this does not taste as powdery as the other one.

I really like the Vim scrubbing gels. They are multipurpose, easy to use, and when they go on sale, you can often find them for 99 cents a bottle which is a fantastic deal.
I use this for the taps, sinks, bathtubs, toilet bowls and counter tops. It does a great job getting my surfaces nice and clean and rinses cleanly away with no residue left behind.
