I've been on the hunt for a good new moisturizer and for this prize ($10.99 for 125 ml) I think this is a very decent product. A little bit goes a long way and it feels very nourishing but isn't thick or sticky and my skin absorbs it right away. It has no spf, but luckily my foundation does so it's not that big of a deal. It also has a slightly strange smell. It's not very strong, but still a little off putting. It's by no means an extraordinary product and I don't think I will purchasing it again once it's done, but it didn't let me down either!
I received this product for free as part of the ChickAdvisor Product Review Club

The thing that got me first about this cream: SPF 30!. I've been paying a lot of attention lately to protecting my skin from the sun so spf is a must. However, lots of creams with spf are really heavy. This one was no exception. It does do a good job at moisturizing my face, but it just feels too heavy on my skin. I'm also not a big fan of the scent. It's a decent product but I will continue my search for the perfect daycream with spf! -

This is the very first CC cream I tried. I've been trying to cut down on the heavy foundation lately since my skin has been a nightmare, and I figured this would be a nice replacement. I'm definitely a fan! Even thought I do prefer the higher coverage of a regular foundation, this definitely does the job of a CC cream and has left my skin a lot more calm. No more crazy break outs. I will definitely be using this on days where I feel my skin needs a break from the make up, but I still want to look dolled up. -

My go to cleansing product is simply coconut oil and warm water, but I wanted to try something new since my skin has been quite dry and break out prone lately. I figured a lotion might help with the dryness and of course the fact that it's anti-wrinkle wouldn't hurt either! It worked quite well and my skin definitely feels more hydrated. It's a nice addition to my usual skin care routine and my skin does feel better after using it. I'm not sure if the anti-wrinkle really works, but I'm sure I will see it once I've used it a bit longer. -

This is the first product I tried of the Q10 line! My hands are always super dry, and it's even worse during the winter. The packaging of this product is super compact so I can take it anywhere with me. It definitely helps with moisturizing my hands and they feel a lot softer. Even my cuticles look healthier now. Obviously I don't know if the anti-aging thing is true, but I guess I'll keep using it regularly to find out! -

My boyfriend surprised me with Dita's perfume Erotique a few weeks ago as an early Valentines gift. I had been eyeing it for weeks, but never took the plunge because I just wasn't ready to buy something I hadn't even smelled yet! Apparently the boyfriend randomly saw it at a shop (not knowing I had been looking at it) and figured I'd like it since I had been without perfume for over a year and am crazy about Dita.
I asbolutely love this perfume! It features rose, incense, leather, pepper, coriander, musk, sandalwood, cedar and guaiac wood. The first time I sniffed it, it was unlike any perfume I had ever smelled. Very masculine and woody.. Needless to say I was a little scared! But then I put it on and after a little while it started to remind me of expensive leather. Sophisticated purses, bags, gloves. Later on the roses and musk came forward and the scent got more soft and rounded and all in all more feminine. But not like sweet, candy, girly feminine like so many perfumes out there, but a sophisticated adult woman. This puts all my previous super sweet perfumes to shame. I feel so strong, elegant and womanly when I wear this perfume.
The only downside is that it doesn't last very long, and I've noticed I'm not the only one with this problem. It does tend to linger in my hair which is nice! Unfortunately I think this perfume isn't going to be around much longer, so I'm going to have to be quite sparing with it. I know there are some other Dita perfumes out there though, so I'm sure once I run out of this one I'll be able to find one of her other scents.

I've been using this for years and it's by far the best semi-permanent hair dye out there in my opinion. I've tried Manic Panic, directions, punky colour and other ones but they never gave me the same result as this dye. First of all, the price is great, and you can easily order it off of ebay or amazon. All their dyes are super pigmented and I only have to mix a few drops of dye with my conditioner to get a nice deep magenta colour. I always mix it up, put it in my hair and then covered with a shower cap leave it in for about an hour and rinse with cold hair as a conditioning colour refresher. When you're dyeing your hair for the first time you will most likely have to bleach your hair first and use a bit more dye to get even coverage, but after that you really only need a small amount of dye diluted with conditioner to keep the colour fresh. This means one small bottle will last you for a while and it won't cost you an arm and a leg to keep up your fun colour! -

I've been battling with split ends my whole life. My natural hair is dry and frizzy and no matter how many trims I get I will always have some split ends. Now, this serum doesn't necessarily help avoid split ends completely (I'm saying AVOID and not repair. You can't repair split ends and the only solution is to cut them off) but I love it as my regular leave in conditioner and I do feel like my end are less dry. I put 2 pumps in after I just washed and dried my hair, and about 1/2 to 1 pump when I'm done drying and styling my hair. It really adds some moisture and shine to my hair that I didn't have before. The smell isn't great and I feel like it could be a bit more nourishing, but great for the price. The packaging is also nice and has a pump which is very convenient. -

This is my all time favourite go to mascara. I don't think mascara is worth spending a ton of money on because in the end they all do the same. Most important to me is the brush and this is a perfect, basic, no nonsense brush that really gets all the corners and even the tiny bottom lashes. Drying time is great so you don't have to wait too long between coats (I usually apply 2) and it's a lovely deep black. multiple people complimented me on my long lashes, when in reality my natural lashes are quite short and blonde. The packaging is cute too and it's super affordable. Another BIG plus for is that it's cruelty free! Highly recommend it. -

I had never used a setting mist before, but I noticed that my skin was getting very dry this winter while wearing foundation. This feels so great on the skin and I don't have dry patches anymore. It also does an amazing job at keeping my make up in place. It smells like cucumber, which I like but I guess isn't for everyone. The only thing I don't like is how it sprays. It's still very concentrated and I would like it better if it was a bit more of an actual mist. -
