I AM REVIEWING THIS PRODUCT AS A PART OF THE CHICKADVISOR REVIEW CLUB. MY REVIEW OF THIS PRODUCT IS STRICTLY BASED ON MY EXPERIENCE AND PERSONAL OPINION, BUT I WAS GIVEN THIS PRODUCT FREE OF COST IN EXCHANGE FOR HONEST REVIEW.
My first impression of Dial Pure Micellar Foaming Hand Wash was that the Juniper scent is lovely and natural. It doesn't smell "chemically" whatsoever, like some stronger handwashing soaps.
After using it for a few days, my hands always feel truly clean and very smooth.
I have dry skin that is easily irritated by perfumes, dyes or unnatural ingredients and it is nice to find a good-smelling, clean-feeling handwashing solution that works for people with skin like mine.
HOWEVER, this soap is NOT ANTIBACTERIAL. Which, essentially renders it useless for anything other than surface dirt removal and scent. During COV19, especially, I couldn't imagine purchasing this hand wash independently for this reason alone. It's a great buy, but ineffective.
✓ Free From Parabens, Phthalates, Silicones, SLS, SLES
✓ Made with 50% Post-Consumer Recycled Plastics
✓ Easy on the skin, even that with sensitivities to irritants
✓ Lightweight foam
Overall, this is a nice hand-wash that I would consider buying if antibacterial protection was not my primary concern.

Carnation Hot Chocolate has always been a family favourite, so I was elated to see that they have released K-Cup single servings of their cold-weather must-have drink.
The smooth, creamy texture that is a Carnation staple does not lack whatsoever in single-serve form! Still as delicious as ever, but much more convenient.
I find that I always have the PERFECT cup now, whereas I used to go a little "powder crazy" and end up with an all-too-chocolatey mixture in need of some serious milk dilution.
♡ Smooth and creamy
♡ Tasteful
♡ True to flavour of Carnation hot choc
♡ Convenient
♡ Perfect serving
Definitely fill your Keurig stash with these this Winter!

NYX Highlight and Contour Pro Palette
I love this contour palette because of it's price. I have never paid more than $25.00CAD for it, and when I can make it to a NYX Store, the refills are around $5.00-$7.00CAD. Aside from the bargain of a price, NYX is the master of department-brand... +
I love this contour palette because of it's price. I have never paid more than $25.00CAD for it, and when I can make it to a NYX Store, the refills are around $5.00-$7.00CAD.
Aside from the bargain of a price, NYX is the master of department-brand beauty contour. Smooth application, easy to blend powders, and warm-tones that compliment any skin-tone.
This is my go-to that I have used for three years now! Always have cheekbones to die for with this contouring kit. Move over, Kylie!

AG Hair Care FIREWALL is an amazing protectant for hair before heat-styling that keeps your locks sleek, smooth, and from splitting. The only complaint I have is that it provides a "dry-shampoo" feel after use that makes my hair feel like it needs another wash the night of use.
THE SMELL THOUGH... never had a hair product I wished I had in perfume form until now.

I found this little palette at Winners a few times and finally decided to go with the purchase. Being at Winners, I was unable to test it and couldn't find any reviews online that were worthwhile.
The palette itself is very cute and has a little, detailed tutorial of what each colour does and where to apply it most effectively. The palette is sturdy, but stains very easily and becomes unsightly/dirty.
The cream contour and colour-correcting concealers themselves are not very quality. Somehow, they are both oily and dry at the same time? They do not blend well, but with heavy application and a very good concealer atop them, they do the job for covering dark spots, acne, and redness!
♡ Gets the job done
♡ Thick, oily, cheap feeling creme
♡ Blends poorly
♡ Many colours
♡ Tutorial/guide printed in palette
This was only $7.99 at Winners and I would easily say it is worth that price. I would never pay full for the Ellen Tracy Correct & Conquer palette.

I was really excited to get the Sugar Glow Kit after seeing awesome reviews by some Beauty Vloggers, but I'm not as satisfied as I had hoped. Really beautiful palette and blends by ABH, however, they are barely visible and blend in to oblivion.
It may be my skin-tone (pale with yellow undertones and pinky overtone).
Good palette overall, but I wish the colours were bolder on pale skin - especially for the price tag!

The KVD Alchemist palette is one of the most pigmented highlight palettes that I have purchased. I LOVE the colours, and their holographic finishes. This is easily my favourite highlight (sorry, Anastasia...)!
Included colours are:
♡ {green} emerald
♡ {blue} saphyre
♡ {ultra-violet} amethyst
♡ {pink} opal
The Opal has a pink, white, and purple sheen to it that is absolutely stunning. I have yellow undertones primarily, so I was worried about the lightness and pinky-tone, but it works for me (and I'm convinced it will glow for anyone, honestly).
♡ Creamy application
♡ Holographic, gorgeous colours
♡ Bright and reflective highlight
The only negative is the price-point, but Kat Von D being a mid-high end brand I can understand the price-tag.

ABH continues to make some of my favourite beauty products available. The Prism palette has a wonderful mix of bold colours that are saturated when applied, easy to blend, and compliment any skin-tone and iris colour. Prism is gorgeous, but practical and usable for everyday!
Included colours are:
♡ seven solid mattes (EDEN, UNITY, SPHERE, OBSIDIAN, PARALLEL, SATURN, and LURE)
♡ five solid metallic (SPHINX, OSIRIS, PYRAMID, THRONE, and ETERNAL)
♡ two holographic metalics (LUCID and DIMENSION)
The included dual-end brush is soft, high-end, and does not shed whatsoever. The blending end seamlessly combines and fades, while the blunt end is perfect for precision application.
The Limited Edition comes with a velveteen finish to the case, which is just super pretty and feels nice to hold.
IN REVIEW
♡ Bold mixture of colours that are versatile for day or evening looks
♡ Pigmented
♡ Easy to blend and apply
♡ High-quality brush included
I would highly recommend this palette to anybody who loves makeup - from beginners to pros! Definitely a staple piece for any makeup lover.

I find it very difficult to grow and strengthen the weak, frail, and thin nails that I have as a result of lifelong nail-biting. My first desire to try Nature's Bounty Hair, Skin, and Nails supplements was for the purpose of aiding in the regrowth of my damaged nails and cuticles. I had tried strengthening and vitamin e polishes in the past, but never vitamins.
Within a week, I noticed:
♡ Significant growth
♡ Smoother nail surface
♡ Thicker and harder nails
After completing a sixty-gummy bottle (one month's worth, twice daily), my results were healthy nails that hung over the edge of my finger! Beginning with weak, cracked, and brittle nails that were very low in the nail-bed, this is an amazing outcome!
H A I R
My hair is quite damaged after years of processing, dying, and heat-treating without much TLC to balance it out. It grow very slowly, my scalp easily becomes excessively oily, and my ends are always split. My hair breaks easily, and tangles quickly.
Since beginning to take Nature's Bounty Hair, Skin, and Nails daily, I have noticed:
♡ Better regulated natural oils (scalp/follicles do not become too oily too quick, nor dry out)
♡ Noticeable growth
♡ Lesser split ends and tears
♡ Thicker brow growth
Overall, my hair seems healthier. As well, my brows have grown in very nicely after typically being thin and shaven.
S K I N
This is the only category in which I have not yet seen results. However, I struggle with problem skin. I have drastically combination skin - either very oily or very dry, depending. I have cystic and regular acne that is chronically occurring. Truthfully, I have had dryer skin in recent months, but I cannot accredit this to Nature's Bounty vitamins in any evident way.
O V E R V I E W
Nature's Bounty Hair, Skin, & Nails gummies are a definite staple for those hoping to have healthier hair and nails, nail biters, and hair-crime committers!
♡ Affordable and cheap
♡ Quality
♡ Amazing taste
♡ Results

I'm a snacker - I'll admit it! I snack constantly, and on whatever I can grab quickest and closest. Often, this leads me on binges of chips, cookies, and candies - salty and sweet, a snackers' best treat! Snapea Crisps are a godsend for a hungry-girl like me! They satisfy the craving for something sweet, something salty, AND something crispy while being a healthier alternative to regular snack foods. The variety of flavors that have already rolled out is impressive, but my definite favorite is the black pepper. These are light, but filling, and great for small kids!
It's like eating a Cheezee without the guilt.
☆ Lightweight, but filling
☆ Healthy alternative to other salty snacks (chips, etc.)
☆ Crispy and flavourful
☆ Affordable ($1.99-$2.99 CAD)
