I was very excited to try this as I have been dying to try out a blush but didn't know where to start. Upon first application it is pretty strong, but it blends in very well. I found it gave a decent rosiness to my cheeks without being over powering, and is super easy to apply.

I received this product for free with the advisor program.
I am a pressed powder girl, so part of my issue with this powder is that I don't have the right brush (I don't have a specific mineral powder brush). I think I need some more work with it - I put it on after my BB cream, and I found that if you put on too much (which I accidentally did), it goes right into every crease and makes you look older than you are. I also noticed a bit of shine to my face that wasn't really there before, which was strange as it is supposed to have a matte finish.
All in all, I liked it, but I don't know that I will purchase it.

I received this product for free with the Chick Advisor Review club.
I get excited when I find a keeper when it comes to mascara. I feel like this one was mostly a hit. The one side that didn't do much for me was the lower lashes brush. I don't usually put mascara on my lower lashes as it is, so at first I was worried it would clump down there. It didn't, but I found it didn't really do much of anything at all. I usually just stick with liner on my bottom lid, so I find myself mostly ignoring that portion of the mascara.
As for the other half, I was very impressed on how it magnified my lashes! I also haven't ended up with raccoon eyes by the end of the day, so that's always a bonus!

I haven't worn anything deeper than a tinted gloss for a while now, so when I first put it on I was a bit thrown off by the colour - it was so bright! But that was a good thing - it's so rich and shiny! I loved the pop of colour in the end. I might have chosen a different shade in the store, but as I received this product (for free) to test, I couldn't select the shade myself. That being said, I think it worked well regardless.
The only downside for me is that it didn't last all that long - I am used to long lasting shades, so to have it virtually disappear after having a snack was a bit disheartening. That being said, the colour and the moisturising benefits made it well worth that - plus the absence of some of that crustiness that can happen with a long lasting lipstick.

I received this product to review from Chick Advisor.
I never normally wear cream at night, so I was curious to see what would happen.
The verdict? It's great! I love how lightweight it is - it's thick, but goes on easily and instantly absorbs - even my fingers didn't feel greasy after applying it. I have it next to my bed and put it on right before my head hits the pillow.
There is no scent (the scent was the issue I had with the day cream), and it is easy to apply. I did find my face feeling much softer throughout the day.
Highly recommend!

I received this product for review through Chick Advisor.
I don't typically wear a lot of moisturiser, so I was wondering how I would like it. I really love how light and non greasy it is - put it on and within minutes it's like it was never there. It does keep your face nice and moist as well - I like using it right after the shower, which is when my face gets the most dry.
I do like the fact that it has a built in sunscreen.
The only thing I didn't really like about it was the sunscreeny smell. I found that even hours later I could smell it, which I wasn't really a fan of.
If it weren't for the smell, I would give it full marks!

Definitely not worth the money.

Love this potty! My daughter was regressing, so I decided to get her this potty to see if it would turn her around.
I brought it home, and used a funny voice to entice her to use it. The silly face helped seal the deal. Plus it is really easy to clean, which was one of my fears of using a stand alone potty.

Having a velcro baby means needing to wear him a lot.
I wanted a woven that was nice and soft, and bright and colourful.
The hoppediz is all of those things. I washed it a few times to break it in, but it didn't require too much work.
I love the colors. I find they cheer me up the moment I see the wrap.
The one thing that makes the hoppediz unique is that it has a pocket sewn into one tail. I'm on the fence about it. I did try putting my keys, etc in it, but because the tail hangs so low behind me, it was kind of a pain to get to. Plus it kind of impedes the wrapping process, I found.

Beco Gemini 4-in-1 Baby Carrier - Ginger

I was blessed with two velcro babies in a row. They are happy as long as they are in my arms, which can be exhausting! So I needed to find ways to keep them close without being in pain.
I can't say enough about the Beco Gemini. It is ridiculously comfortable, even when wearing your baby for hours on end. You can use it from newborn up, without any additional inserts required, and you can use it right up until toddlerhood. Have the baby face in, face out, on your hip, or on your back. It is pretty easy and quick to get on, which is key when you have a high maintenance baby!
The only real downside is that it doesn't fold up well, making it a little awkward for your diaper bag, but otherwise I love it.
And the ginger pattern is a great, gender neutral pattern, that adds a little style to your baby wearing.
