I loved this cream! I've been battling with dry skin on my face this winter and have been searching for the perfect moisturizer. This was it!!
I loved that when I applied the creme it really sunk in to my skin, it was very light and didn't leave it feeling oily or wet. A little bit of the product went a long way and it was very light.
It definitely helped with my dryness and I will be switching to this creme full time.

I received this item for free from the Chickadvisor Product Review Club in exhange for my honest review.
I don't usually use makeup wipes as I like to wash my face with just water and a Norwex cloth, but I was interested in giving these a chance.
First off I like the packaging, they came in a resealable bag type of package which I thought would be nice for travel, they're very compact and I wouldn't worry about them opening and getting everything wet.
They were effective in removing my makeup, especially my mascara. Though I did find them to be a it overly saturated, I felt that there was too much of the liquid from the wipe left on my face afterwards.
I will stick to my normal night time facial routine, but I would definitely take these when I'm traveling to use.

I was so pumped to try this hairspray, I've been looking for something that was light but really held!
I love to curl my hair but my hair does not love to hold its curl so I decided to give this hairspray a shot. First off it is very light. It didn't really feel like I had hairspray in other than the hairspray smell. It didn't leave my hair feeling crunchy and I had high hopes.
Sadly it did not live up to the hype. I got the hold level 3 bottle and wouldn't even rate it a level 1! It definitely did not have the hold I was expecting and I used quite a bit. My hair somewhat stayed curled but definitely fell flat. I was not impressed at all.
I won't be spending my money on this hair spray.

I loved this one!! It was so good!
With the one skillet meals you just need to add your meat and veggies and cook them along with the package contents. This was so easy to throw together quickly and it tasted delicious!
I will definitely be buying these again. It was great for a quick dinner, it made enough for 4 with decent portion sizes. I also loved it for something quick to prep on the weekend for lunches during the week.
I'm looking forward to trying some of the other one skillet meals they offer!

I was excited to try this one, it looked like a gourmet mac and cheese or quick alfredo.
I was worried about how tiny the pieces of broccoli were in the bag but was very surprised by how much they grew once added to liquid.
I did find this one a bit annoying to cook, I like something I can start and just leave until ready. I don't mind having to stir every so often but with this because of the milk I needed to stir constantly otherwise it would have boiled over.
Overall the taste was good, nothing spectacular. I did find it to be quite watery, I would have liked it if the sauce had thickened up a bit more. It wasn't bad, but I probably wouldn't buy this one again.

I was looking forward to try this side because I love browned butter!!
Like most Knorr sides this was definitely easy to make and didn't take long at all which I like when it comes to a side dish!
Taste wise it was good, nothing extraordinary though. Really it tasted like your average Knorr sidekick, I was expecting a bit more from it. Also the carrots in it made me sad. Once it was cooked, you could barely tell they were there.
I might buy this one again, but it's not something that I absolutely need to have.

When I received this item I was a bit surprised by its size, it's fairly small for its price point ($25) though I did find as I was using it that a little bit does go a long way.
I liked that it is not scented, some scents bother me when they're too perfumey and this didn't have any smell to it.
I have had dryer than normal skin this winter and it definitely has improved since using this moisturizer. I did notice stinging in my face though the first few times I used it. That did stop after a few applications.
I probably wouldn't buy this again because it is a bit out of my budget but I would definitely recommend it!

Like base coat I'm also guilty of not always using a top coat! I always hate waiting for my polish to dry!!
I found that this top coat definitely dried quickly, it was also really easy to apply and didn't go on too thick.
I really think it did make a difference in how long my polish job lasted. I always get chips as soon as a day after application, but with this top coat my polish went from Monday to Friday before seeing my first chip! I'll definitely use it again.

I don't usually apply a base coat when I do my nails, mainly out of lazyness. That will probably end now though!! This base coat was easy to apply and dried fairly quick so I didn't feel the need to wait too long before applying the colour.
I used a black polish over this basecoat and when I removed it a week later there was no evidence of the black colour or staining on my nails! I would definitely use this base coat again.

I received CND™ Creative Play Nail Polish in Nocturne It Up for free in exchange for my honest review.
First off this came at the perfect time, just in time for Halloween! The colour Nocturne It Up is a black polish with glitter. Also included was a base coat and top coat.
I was pleasantly surprised by this polish, it Q's easy to apply. I found that it dried pretty quickly which made the application of the base, colour and top coat quicker. It only took 2 coats of the colour to get good coverage. I would have liked to see bit more glitter or bigger pieces of glitter (there were a few large flecks), it did get lost in the black a bit.
This polish lasted longer than most I've used. I did my nails on Monday and got my first chip on Friday which for me is pretty decent for a non gel at home polish job!
I would definitely buy this polish again, I'm looking forward to checking out the other colours!
