First of all, this shampoo smells amazing.. Like previously mentioned in the last two reviews for this collection, I was completely pumped to receive the Coconut & Ylang Ylang collection since my favourite scent is coconut. The shampoo was just as amazing. It lathers super well and even though my hair is super long, I didn't have to use as much as I normally would (which is a lot lol). It also rinsed surprisingly fast compared to other shampoos. It is for damaged hair which was great since mine is pretty damaged from lack of being trimmed and frequently using a flat iron but I have noticed a massive difference since I started using it last week, my hair feels and looks healthier and more shiny and seems to have more volume. I'm definitely impressed and I've only used the same shampoo on a regular basis besides testing a few others (which I didn't like since I hold my regular shampoo to a high level, I tend to not like others.) I don't know if it would replace my normal brand constantly but I'd definitely purchase it and use it more often and switch between them.

Love Beauty & Planet Coconut Oil & Ylang Ylang Hope and Repair 3 in 1 Benefit Oil

First of all, the directions on the packaging are mildly confusing, ''Spread 1-2 pumps of oil evenly through wet hair using your hands and (obviously) work it, avoid roots''. I assumed like Moroccan oil it was a leave in type of thing, you put it in wet hair after you shower and than continue with your normal routine (for me, blow drying and than straightening). However when I looked up the directions on their website it says
• Using your fingers, divide your hair into sections.
• Apply a coating of Hope & Repair Oil throughout each section. Make sure to put oil though every layer of your hair.
• Wash out in the shower with Hope & Repair Shampoo and Conditioner.
So I ended up re washing my hair after reading it's a wash out oil, I feel the directions on the packaging weren't clear on that and reading the other reviews on Chick Advisor it's clear I wasn't the only one who assumed it was meant to be after you finished washing your hair.
But the product it's self I adore it, my hair felt very smooth after putting it in, I ended up using 3 pumps but my hair is fairly long and thick.. It was easy to apply evenly and I love the pump itself I find some pumps are to powerful or give to much product however this one was very gentle and a nice amount of product was given.
I again was super excited to receive the Coconut & Ylang Ylang Collection since coconut is my favourite scent, and these products smell incredible. My hair smells wonderful even after sleeping and hours later it still has a noticeable coconut scent.
The packaging is sturdy and well made (also made from 100% recycled plastic!) it's also well designed, very cute and eye catching.
Looking at my dead ends today (I really need a trim) they look a lot healthier, my hair feels healthier and feels like it has more volume and it's shiner and soft, after just one use so I'm excited to use it more.
I'd rate it a 4.5 simply because the directions on the packaging could be better, but I still love the product so far and will continue to use it and would recommend it to anyone who has dry or damaged hair and or loves using hair oils and loves coconut!.

I am completely thrilled I was selected for the oppertuity to product test this line, I had never heard of them before and as always I was completely excited to test a new brand and of course I fell in love!. I was sent the coconut hope & repair (coconut also is my favourite scent so I was imediately excited!) I was so pumped I couldn't wait to try some products, so I got in the shower right away and tested out the body wash and oh my gosh I adore it, it's super silky feeling and lathers amazingly, nice and bubbly and I felt so clean and wonder after, my skin felt incredible and smooth and smelled AMAZING!, 24 hours later my skin still smells of coconuts and feels just as smooth! which is amazing as it's still winter and my skin has been quiet dry lately..
I also read a lot about the brand after opening my package and read the bottles carefully and I'm completely impressed!
Made with Organic coconut oil
Ethically sourced ylang ylang
Safe for coloured hair
Vegan
Plant based cleansers
Not tested on animals
Free of silicones, parabens & dyes
And the bottles are made from 100% recycled plastic
I love brands I can trust and knowing they're vegan and don't test on animals makes me happy, also love that they want to keep their carbon footprint small and use recycled plastic!, it's a brand I'm happy trusting, and so far I'm loving the products.

I recieved this free for testing purposes from chickadvisor & nude by nature #LoveNudeByNature #GotItFree
This is probably the softest brush I have ever used, it's sooo soft I can't even get over it.
The design is cute, it's almost like a mix between a big fluffy powder brush and a kabuki. It's also cute and sleek, I wish it looked like the product packaging with the rose gold, but the black is nice and more professional looking, and easier to keep clean.
I really liked it with the powder, but I like it more for my blush/bronzer but i'll for sure use it daily, it's great!.
The handle is shorter than I expected, I prefer a longer brush handle however it's great and not a deal breaker for me at all.

I was sent this to product test for free from chickadvisor & nude by nature, #LoveNudeByNature #GotItFree
First off the packaging is the cutest I have ever seen!, the rose gold makes it look adorable and it's sturdy, very well made and designed.
The product itself is amazing, it's texture is very silky and easy to blend and apply, it has no scent and looks flawless, feels weightless.
I applied it alone and liked it, and i tried using it as a finishing powder over foundation as well and it looked amazing and worked exactly how I wanted it too, the colour was also perfect for me!.
It is already in my everyday makeup bag! it's in my new favourite loose powder!

#GotItFree #LoveNudeByNature
First of all, the scent of this primer is AMAZING, it has sort of a green tea scent and I absolutely love it. The texture is very smooth and silky, it's silicon free and personally I prefer silicon based primers for that filling, smoothing effect it has on my pores, but I found this to be filling which surprised me, it gave a nice even base to apply my foundation which I liked, It's not matte but it isn't dewy either. It feels very hydrating and very moisturizing and I'm surprised that it seems to have the lasting power that it does given how hydrating it is. I didn't find it tacky and it dried down pretty quickly but was easy to apply.
The full size product is 30ml, I received the mini version which is 15ml, and to me the packaging seems good size, with a decent amount of product. The other face primer I recently reviewed the Maybelline Instant age rewind primer is 25ml, so the full size product would be 5ml more product and I've been using the Maybelline for over a year so it would last quiet awhile, and a little does seem to go a long way.
The packaging is probably the cutest I've seen to date, it's sort of an off white with rose gold details and I think it's just adorable!. It also seems well made, sturdy and packaged well. I also like how easy it is to read compared to some other packaging from other brands, all the ingredients are listed on the back and easy to read.
Thank you so much chickadvisor & Nude By Nature for giving me this opportunity to test these products and meet and fall in love with a new to canada brand!. Can't wait to test more!.

This is my favourite colour from the collection I ordered, It's an absolutely beautiful mint colour. The colour on the website shows it as a more blue but in person it's fairly minty. I think it's just gorgeous and again the same formula, it's awesome applies so easily, cures fast & coats beautifully.
It's 10ML like the rest so again lots of product, I'd advise doing thin coats and building up with 2/3 layers so it cures properly, one super thick coat won't cure underneath and can cause a burning/tinging sensation.
It's wears good, but again I don't properly prep my nails so mine come off easier but also don't last near as long as they should.. You should get 12/14 day wear out of them. Shipping was fast and easy, and packaged well. Product packaging itself is super cute, I love the pink shade of the bottle I think it's eye appealing and nice.
The price is also fantastic, it's a great DIY gel manicure. Easy to use easy to apply and easy to remove.
Aimeili is a brand I trust and love, it's well known and high quality and I would recommend to anyone.

I found the spray part was super powerful and sprayed way to much at once, but I do like the product.. I'm not a huge fan of setting my makeup with it, I found it left marks in my foundation with or without setting powder, but I like to spray my face before applying my normal primers and foundations. I really liked it for spraying my brushes when I'm using glittery/shimmery pigments, I found it really made glitter shadows pop (Like the colour pop palette I recently reviewed). It has a cooling effect with a slight cucumbery scent.
It helped when I extended my arm and sprayed as far away as possible it gave a nice dewy finish (I prefer matte but it isn't bad for when I'm wanting a dewy finish). I'd advise wrapping your hair before hand, I didn't like the texture of my hair when the spray got into it.
It was slightly tacky and took a bit longer to dry than I had expected when setting, but priming I really like it, it's refreshing. The price is definitely great but the product isn't Urban Decay setting spray quality. It didn't make a difference in lasting power for my makeup, I'm sure there's some better you'd get a longer last out of.
The packaging isn't the cutest as far as setting sprays, but it's sturdy and well made just a powerful spray. And it's 60ML so there is a great amount of product.
However, I think it's great for the price it's fast, easy & cheaper to use and good to have on hand in my opinion.
I haven't had any issues as far as sensitivity

So at first I didn’t really like the colour when looking at the strip test, however after applying to my nails it’s a light greyish lavender colour and I absolutely love it!. Coverage is good and even, not to thick not too thin. I did two thin coats and it looked great coverage wise. The wear was great however I don’t buff my nails so they peel up for me, but that’s how I prefer it.. It would wear around a week maybe 12 days with proper application and prep.
Received it fast and easy, it’s 10ML so it’s a good amount of product, packaging is cute and well made. I’d purchase again for sure!.
I highly recommend Aimelil products, I love them and the brand.
I have no issues I think the formula is great it’s not super thick not super thin and easy to get a good even layer, packaging is cute, you get a good amount of product & I adore the colour.

So it's the same shade as the stick version, just liquefied. The shade again is absolutely gorgeous, pinky rose with purple mauve undertones. Cool toned, and the formula is highly pigmented, no streakiness or bleeding, It's matte but a very velvety feel, hydrating non drying and it dries down very quickly.. There was little to no transfer & didn't flake off, it does have long wear and is easy to apply.
Like it's twin it's also suppose to be universally flattering, slight fresh scent but hardly noticeable. Long wearing but comfortable. ''Its unique formula boasts beeswax for long-lasting wear and avocado oil for soft, nourished lips. It's an ultra-matte, liquid lipstick with high color payoff and 20-hour, comfortable wear. Its precise applicator coats and defines every peak and valley of your lips to perfection.''
The packaging is cute, well made and sturdy and the doe tip is pretty standard. And again even for being a mini it's a good size with a good amount of product.
