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

eos Hand Lotion
I love these, small enough to fit in your purse and they work really well, moisturizing and lasting but are non greasy. My complaint would be the price for a small container

By far my favourite lip balm, I love the smell and it moisturizes well for me. I don't go anywhere without one in my purse.
My only complaints are that once it gets low it is a little inconvenient to apply as it isn't quite soft enough to apply well with your fingers.

Maybelline Mega Plush Volum' Express Mascara
This is one of my favourite drug store mascaras, it is quite soft and doesn't leave you with spider eyes - great for everyday use. I never get clumps with it either and it washes off easily with makeup remover but stays on during the day.

A little goes a long way, too much and it slips a bit. It doesn't make my skin quite as smooth as Smashbox but at under $10 Cdn - you can't complain.

Arm & Hammer Clump & Seal Complete Odour Sealing Clumping Litter
I did like this litter, it is not very dusty and does live up to its claims of clumping well and reducing odours (don't get me wrong, you still have to scoop regularly, but it doesn't get that ammonia smell cheap litter does after just 1-2 uses)... +
I did like this litter, it is not very dusty and does live up to its claims of clumping well and reducing odours (don't get me wrong, you still have to scoop regularly, but it doesn't get that ammonia smell cheap litter does after just 1-2 uses).
We have a fussy cat and he used it with no issues (we left another box with their regular litter for him if he preferred). Our youngest cat seemed to prefer it, usually she uses both boxes, one for #1 and the other for #2s but used this one exclusively.
The price puts me off, it was hard to find the smaller box included in the coupon sent for review and the larger box is much pricier than our usual litter so I don't see myself switching to it with multiple cats. It lasted 5 days, not the 7 but that is longer than most litter would for us with a picky cat who hates a dirty box.

As far as application, Root Rescue is easy, and the applicator works well if you slightly squeeze the bottle however, I found that it needed to be left on longer than the stated 10 minutes and still did not cover the greys that are right on my part, the colour did not match my colour (despite it being a loreal colour) well so I am glad I tried to work it through all of my hair, but there is not enough to do so. Maybe if I had shorter hair it would not be so bad. In conclusion, I think for an extra few dollars I would just use my regular dye than touch up the roots, it gives a fresher look anyway by colouring it all -

First, after reading about this product online, I thought it would be creamier given the image on their website which makes it appear more like a cream (see image to right) compared to the firmer blush I found in my compact.
I was disappointed in several things about this, first the small range of colours, all fairly dark (but you have to consider the white swirl which makes it difficult to know which shade will suit you and I didn’t find the white swirl did much as far as toning down the colour). Secondly, the blush, which I have used a total of 4 times is cracking away at the edges of the white swirl which will give you an idea of how firm the blush is. The sponge does not seem designed for a blush of that consistency either, when swiping some off the compact it clogs in the sponge so I have been using a different sponge to apply it with a little moisturiser on the sponge to help with the consistency.
So I wasn’t overly impressed from the beginning, however, once I mixed with a little lotion to make it creamier on the sponge, it did apply well with a sun-kissed look so I would probably use up the rest but would certainly not spend $18 to buy another one.

I was given this as part of a swag bag at an event and initially looking at it, I was not impressed (and surprised by the price when I looked it up for the review). I was given the gloss in Empress, a hot pink colour, far from my usual more neutral lip colours. However,when searching through my purse looking for my lipstick before a meeting it was all I could find and I thought I would try just a little and if it was awful, just wipe it off and go without.
I was surprised, it went on much paler than it looks, complimenting the pink in my lip and giving the right amount of shine for work without looking like a barbie doll. It has a little shimmer to it that makes it look great and it is now a permanent fixture in my purse. I may try a more neutral colour if buying it myself however

I was chosen to test this as part of the Chick Advisor Product Club along with Nutrisse hair colour, Fructis Color Sealer Shampoo and Conditioner and this was the only product of the package sent that I wasn't overly impressed with, its not bad by any standards but not nearly as good as my usual hair serum
This product does smell great and a little goes a long way making it great value for money but I found it weighed my hair down a bit and even a small amount over what is needed (which is tiny) left my hair greasy. It is ok if you use it directly after washing your hair and blowdry and style with it in, but I often use my regular serum between washes when styling and this isn't possible with the Fructis Colour Sealer and it weighs my hair down enough that I can't use my regular serum along with the sealer.
Maybe its just my hair type it doesn't suit as it seems to be popular amongst the other people who were chosen to test the line but it is the one product of the set sent I would not buy again
