Suzy Shier recently launched a line of plus size clothing. The spring Suzy+ collection will be available in 66 Suzy Shier stores as well as online.
Suzy Shier admits that they are starting with a small collection and limited stores while they get feedback from customers but they have priced the collection at affordable prices and have some on trend items.
Like many of the dresses, the sunburst pleated sheath dress is only $46. It can be hard to find affordable, nice looking office wear and this dress is perfect for work and can be glammed up with accessories for a night out. They have a cute blazer that you can wear with almost any of their collection for only $44.
If you are looking for less formal, they also have tops and pants priced $26-$50 – yes, the most expensive item in the collection is just $50!
Suzy Shier’s regular line tends to be on the smaller size, so it is probably a good idea to find one of the stores to try on the plus line and get an idea of sizing before ordering anything online. While so many clothes stores are going out of business, it is great to see one expanding their line and listening to customer feedback.

Garnier Clean+ Makeup Removing Cleansing Lotion has is a quick-break lotion that releases the powerful cleansing agents to dissolve impurities and waterproof mascara while plant extracts and Moringa seed stop your skin from drying out.
This is not a normal makeup remover or cleanser. It seems like a fairly thick lotion (shake the tube though, it separates) and should be applied to dry skin (although I have used it in the shower and it still works great). You can remove it with cotton pads or water.
It acts as a makeup remover (and can really breakdown waterproof makeup in seconds yet not sting your eyes!) and a cleanser but is not drying at all.

The new Zoya Satins collection has great pastel colours that take you from winter colours to brighter summers with slightly matte pastels in work appropriate colours. The finish is not the usual shiny Zoya finish but not as matte as their matte polishes either.
Zoya has some of my favourite polishes and I usually love their finishes, but the Satins chip easily in comparison to their regular polishes and you can't wear a topcoat (they did say there will be a Satin topcoat in the future).
That being said, I love the colours, especially Tove, Sage and Rowan (pictured) and the quality is still great compared to other brands of polish and I don't need them to last that long as I change colours regularly.

I Love Batiste Dry Shampoo and always have bottles of it at home. My hair is long and thick and takes forever to dry so dry shampoo is a must for those in-between wash days when my hair starts to look a little funky but not quite so much that I can be bothered washing and drying,
It does leave some white residue though so if you have dark hair, find the one meant for brunettes rather than this one which can be found everywhere and save yourself the bother of looking like you have dandruff.

This Plum eyestick is a pigmented, cool-toned purple with silver undertones and fine silver and purple shimmer. ‘Plum’ is perfect for a simple smokey eye, it is metallic yet creamy and blends well while staying put once set.
I did wear an eye primer under this and it is was still perfect at the end of the day. It is not overly glittery so can be worn day or night and layered for more pigmentation.
These come in some great colours and I intend to pick up the Silver Rose and Copper ones which are closer to my usual colour scheme.

I am always a little suspicious of two in one products. As a primer, this does not work for my skin but I can see it working for others. I have some deep creases and combination skin and need something not powdered to fill and smooth, but to just even out my skin when not wearing makeup it looks great as a primer. As a setting powder however, I love it! I used it under my makeup on my t-zone to help with shine, plus to set my makeup. It helped with shine for about 4-5 hours. As a setting powder, it gave a very finished look, and did not have the sparkly look of many powders.

Don’t be fooled by the bottle, it may look like nail polish but this is a lip product. Thankfully for me since it looks way too red for me to wear, this colour is not as red as it looks in the bottle. It is however very pigmented and lasts for ages. I reapplied after lunch and was good until the end of the work day, 4-5 hours between applications. It is glossy yet not sticky (because I hate when my hair gets stuck to my lip gloss) and did not dry out my lips at all. Even better it has a sweet but light scent that reminds me of summer. I would probably buy these, but in a more neutral colour for daily wear. Note: make sure you exfoliate your lips, it is not very forgiving on dry lips.

This was my least favourite of the products Chick Advisor sent me to test as part of the #GOSHGoddess review panel. There is not anything bad about this mascara, it is a decent product, just nothing special compared to the ones I already have - some at better prices.
Personally I prefer mascaras that make my lashes look fuller rather than just longer and I found this brush also held too much mascara. It did last all day without smudging though which is impressive and usually the thing that has me running to waterproof mascara.

Unlike many reviewers, I do find these chip easily, but at under $3 I am happy to repaint my nails.
They have some really cute colours and I love the small wide brush, makes application really easy.
I don't use these for everyday use, but if you want a random colour for occasional use, they are great

This is by far my fave budget gel eyeliner.
It is really creamy and applies well with an angled brush (I recommend a better brush than the Essence ones sold alongside it which are too soft for it). Once dry, nothing is moving that eyeliner. I have slept in it and woke up with no smudges.
I would like to see it in more colours
