These work just about perfectly for me. It goes on and stays on really well. I don't have to worry about reapplying because of fading/smudging and I don't have to worry about my lips feeling too dry. I've been using "powerful pink" mostly and even though the colour is (not surprisingly) pinker than I normally wear, I love mixing it up sometimes. -

I crave this about once a year. It's really for fans of black cherry (otherwise, I'm not sure why you would be looking at this product...). I like the cherries more than the ice cream itself and actually wish the flavour was vanilla with black cherries. BUT it's still a quality product and exactly what it advertises to be! -

Received this during the ChickAdvisor Showcase and I've been wearing it for over a week.
It's easy to apply and only requires one layer (+base coat) for a very solid look.
The colour Crimson Like It Hot isn't a colour I'd wear normally but I still like it for special occasions. It's a great colour during the holidays, when a pop of colour is always appreciated. It photographed well against my teal painted wall.
Wear: After a week it's holding up well. I applied 1 layer each of base coat, lacquer, and top coat. From a short distance it still looks perfect. From close up there is wear at the tips and you can see that my nails have grown. You can reduce wear at the tips by adding a extra layer of lacquer during the initial application or reapplying the top coat.
Price: It's more expensive than I would normally pay for nail polish but it's definitely worth it if you pick the colour that's right for you.

I received this condition from a ChickAdvisor campaign and I've been testing it for a week.
I love the scent of this product. It reminds me a bit of pina coladas, which normally remind me of beach vacations. I think Dove does a great job on their scents, fragrant without being overwhelming, so much so that I purchased a Dove body wash yesterday.
When used together with the matching Dove shampoo, this conditioner does a great job of hydrating my hair, exactly as advertised.
I will likely buy again - it's a great product for the price - and I love the scent.

I received this shampoo for free from a ChickAdvisor campaign and I've been using it for a week.
I love the scent! It was love at first smell since the scent was noticeable once I opened the ChickAdvisor box. Note that the scent is coconut AND lime even though the name refers to coconut only (that's a reference to the benefits of the coconut oil used, I'm pretty sure).
The bottle advertises that hair will be soft and smooth (since it hydrates your hair) and it delivers! I was using a similar priced shampoo beforehand and I can tell the difference in softness especially.
What I find lacking when using this shampoo is a silky feeling when my hair is drying. When some of my natural oils come back, it's not an issue.
For the listed price, it's a great product - it does more than I would expect for the price - and I will likely buy it in the future.

I purchased this recently for the first time and I'm four cups in. I love the flavour, it's sort of exactly what is listed - chai tea with a bit of honey and a whiff on vanilla. Simple but good. All the flavours are light, which wasn't what I was expecting but it's how I prefer my tea. Others may need a stronger flavour.
I like that the brand/packaging is sturdy without too much extra waste.

For a long time I avoided Secret deodorant because the last one I used had a very strong scent and visible residue. Then I noticed there was an unscented one and since it was on sale, I decided to give it a try. I'm glad I did. The scent really is quite low, it goes on smooth and feels fine on, and it's just reliable. -

I have been using this semi-regularly for almost a year. I used it a lot in the winter when I really needed it and it is dependable. It dries quickly, hydrates, and the smell is minimal (which is my preference).
For the amount in a tub and how long it is lasting me, it's a good value.
The only thing is that I'm not sure I will re-buy. It is reliable but not particular special.

I like the overall taste of Iogo yogurts and these are no exception. These are a little more liquidy compared to other drinkable yogurts.
The lid is easy to open and spill proof - good for young children. I worry a little about the environmental impact of these lids but there's no doubt they work.

Tic Tac Arctic Rush
I love tic tacs but I do not love these! The flavour is stronger than I thought it would be be, like an off tasting breath mint, perhaps better fitting for gum. If you like small mints, these might be for you. The most positive thing I can say is... +
