The base coat went on evenly and the smaller brush allowed for more precision in the application. The base coat had a nice subtle pink colour to it. The "Crimson Like Its Hot" colour was very intense but would work well for a Christmas party but has limited wear. For the price point, other comparable brands like OPI or Essie are similar and I'm more familiar with them. -

The hair serum has a great smell, light feeling however difficult to tell on dry hair. The directions advise to try on damp hair and typically I use hair serums at night. Would love to try this some more to get a better sense of results. At $9/bottle- if this product works it would be totally worth it! -

For the price point, this Riesling-Gewurtztraminer was pretty good. It was crisp, refreshing and leaned towards the sweeter side. I also think this would be delicious with a white wine sangria with citrus or strawberries. I wouldn't necessarily purchase this as a gift to give someone (the downside of the low price), however would bring it to a party, for sharing or to just have as a spare bottle at home. -

The unique brush with mini bristles allowed the mascara not to clump, however I didn't feel like it fully coated the lashes compared to other mascara brands. A few more coats and this mascara would be good to go, but didn't feel like it provided voluminous lashes in one coat. I also think I just need to get used to this style of mascara wand/brush. -
Mary Kay Gel Semi-Matte Lipstick
The shade "Poppy Please" is red-orange based and went on very smoothly and packed a lot of colour! It feels very light on my lips and not dry at all. This colour would be work appropriate or if I applied it heavier- it would work well for going out... +
The shade "Poppy Please" is red-orange based and went on very smoothly and packed a lot of colour! It feels very light on my lips and not dry at all. This colour would be work appropriate or if I applied it heavier- it would work well for going out. The packaging is also great with a see-through cap so if you had a bunch of them, you would be able to tell what colour you're grabbing. -

This is the first time I've used a serum which also has a highlighter built in for that added glow. The product certainly hydrated my skin, however I was unsure about adding the slight shimmer all over my face. One pump was more than enough, but left my skin feeling a bit tacky, as opposed to being full absorbed. Based upon the price, it's hard to say what ingredients, vitamins, etc are in it as the packaging is very simple.
I received this product to test for free from ChickAdvisor.

The coarser texture of the wipes took off my foundation well and left my skin surprisingly hydrated after. The exfoliating wipes would be perfect after a day of heavy makeup or if I'm too tired to wash my face at night it. I like the fact that these wipes are a "2 for 1" so cleansing and exfoliating. -

My favourite fresh face mask! The mask goes on very smoothly and the ground almonds are a great exfoliator. Instead of just rinsing or wiping the mask off, I run my hands under water and then massage the mask onto my skin for an additional exfoliant. Plus, the scent is pleasant and fresh, compared to other LUSH masks with an overpowering scent. -

This product works well for my bangs to keep them fluffy and not oily as the day progresses. It's also great for adding extra volume. Since I have black hair, unfortunately at times the white dry shampoo is visible and requires me to really rub it on or wipe it off with a towel so it's not visible. It's on the more affordable end of dry shampoo hair products. -

I purchased a red Smart Stick and mainly use it for blending soups and congee (Chinese rice porridge). In the past, I had to transfer hot soup into my blender in small portions, but this makes it's much easier to blend the entire pot. Although, you do need to ensure the pot is full enough so the blade is fully submerged in soup to prevent hot liquids from flying out.
Clean up is also a breeze - just pop off the blade and wash!
