It absorbs quickly and leaves my skin feeling soft. It seems to have helped with some of my fine lines, especially around my mouth and forehead.

I can be very picky when it comes to top coats for my nails. I want something that will give a perfect, thick, shiny finish to my nail art - without smudging all my hard work!
This top coat delivers on all fronts.
The finish is nice and glassy - almost the shine you get with a gel top coat. It's the perfect viscosity, thick enough to give a smooth finish over nail art yet fluid enough not to get mucked up. It went on nicely, with no colour transfer to the brush and no smearing of the polish or designs underneath.
If I could change anything about it, I would make it a quick dry. That's literally the only negative I can think of. I just added some OPI Quick Dry Drops once I was done instead.
I will be buying again, this is a great product.

I wear acrylics, so I didn't use this with my manicure, so instead I used it on my toes for a cute halloween themed pedicure.
The base coat went on smoothly, dried quickly, and was a good base for both the CND Creative Play nail polish I recieved and an OPI polish I used for an accent nail (yeah, I'm really into the nail art).
While it's hard to say after only a short time if the base coat is good for preventing stains, I plan on using it for the next month or so to find out. I wear lots of dark polishes and other colours that tend to stain, so I will update this review when I have a better idea of it's effectiveness in that department.
So far, I haven't had any chipping on my toes, even on my little toe where I usually get some wear on the polish after a few days/week. I am very happy with this base coat and look forward to seeing how it holds up over the long term.
While it may be a bit pricey, a good base coat really can make or break your mani/pedi. It can help your polish last longer, so it's worth it to me.

I was so excited to get chosen for this review - I always make sure that my nails are done and love trying out new nail art too. I got Crimson Like It Hot, a brilliant metallic red colour. I had selected the 'random' option because all of the shades looked so beautiful I couldn't decide.
I love the colour. It's bright, vibrant and wonderfully shiny. You get full coverage and rich colour in two coats. It's even pigmented enough to use with my stamping plates (I didn't take pictures of that though).
The colour stands up well, I haven't had any chipping or rubbing off of the colour.
This polish works well with the base and top coat included in the kit as well as with a GOSH matte top coat I used on one of the nails. It held up well to nail vinyls, stamping and adding rhinestones.
I will be adding more colours to my collection.

Nutella Hazelnut Spread

I find that it is a little expensive, so I try to wait until it's on sale before buying, where I can get a better value.

A nice, quick absorbing hand lotion.
I got this product free through the Product Review Club.
I have used this hand lotion previously and really liked it, so I was pleasantly surprised to see it as part of the Product Review package. It was fantastic timing since I was almost out of my last tube.
This lotion has a light, pleasant scent.
The best part of this lotion is how quickly it is absorbed into the skin. I walk with a cane, so greasy hands mean I can't hold onto my cane. I hate having to wait too long for a moisturizer to dry because I'm stuck in one place! Nivea Q10 Anti-Age Hand Cream is absorbed quickly so I don't have to worry.
I haven't noticed any anti-aging effects, but I also don't have any obvious signs fo aging on my hands. With any luck, this lotion will help to keep things this way.
An additional benefit is that the lotion makes my tattoos look fantastic - like they are brand new. If you have some ink, this lotion can help it look it's best :)

I love this lotion, my new favourite!
I received this product as a part of the Product Review Club.
I was so impressed with the Nivea Q10 Firming Body Lotion and will absolutely buy it again. The results I got are noticeable after just 2 weeks (and I always thought those claims were exaggerated).
The lotion has a light scent. It's hard to place but it's pleasant. It lingers for a few hours after application (or at least I can smell it a few hours after but I am very sensitive to scent).
I used this lotion in conjunction with the Nivea Q10 Firming Body Oil. I found the oil to be a little greasy on my oily skin. The lotion, however, was ideal for my skin type. It absorbs quickly into the skin and moisturizes well. I find myself using it morning and evening as part of my regular beauty routine.
The best part is that after two weeks of use, the skin on my neck and chest actually feels a bit firmer and the fine lines I was starting to get on my cleavage are much less noticeable.

Nivea Q10 Firming Body Oil works but a little goes a long way, especially for oily skin.
I received this product through the Product Review Club :)
I was very excited to try this product because I'm starting to get some signs of aging, including fine lines and less elastic skin. I was hoping that this would help and it did, to an extent.
The Nivea Q10 Firming Body Oil has a light scent - I can't quite say what it is, but it's pleasant. I'm very sensitive to scents that smell too much like 'chemicals' and I enjoyed the scent of this oil.
The bottle is huge for the price. It's a fantastic value for the amount you get. Sometimes the price of these types of products can be daunting to those on a budget, but Nivea products are generally reasonably priced.
The oil itself is a clear, light liquid. I found that simply turning the bottle upside down and giving it a small shake gave me enough product to apply. Don't squeeze the bottle because too much will come out. It's oil - so it's a bit runny.
I have oily skin. I found that the Nivea Q10 Firming Body Oil didn't absorb into my skin as quickly as I would have liked (or at all in some cases). My skin would stay greasy for hours after application, sometimes longer.
I started out using the oil every day, after my shower (as I had seen recommended in other reviews). My skin would remain oily all day, even overnight if I applied after a morning shower. I changed it to every other day, then every third day, which ended up working well for me.
I think if you have dry skin, a daily application would be alright. I have some dry skin on my feet and lower legs and it was wonderfully moisturizing.
I was also using the Nivea Q10 Firming Body Lotion along with the oil. Between the two, I found that the skin on my chest and neck feels a bit firmer. The fine lines I get with my cleavage are less obvious.
Overall, I would consider buying this again when I go through the bottle. I find using it sparingly is better for oily skin as well as using it at night before bed. I will definatley buy the lotion again.

e.l.f. Cosmetics Eyeshadow Brush
I got this brush as part of a set and love it (I really like almost all of the brushes in the set). It works great for packing colour onto the eyelid. Easy to clean when done. Great brush.

e.l.f. Cosmetics Essentials Liquid Eye Liner
I was making an EL order on boxing day and needed a new liquid liner, so ordered it then. I really like it. It goes on nicely, not streaky or anything. The brush is fine enough to get some good details and a nice sharp wing.
