I really wanted to like this primer. I love the idea and what this brand stands for, but I've been using this every day for the past 2 weeks and haven't seen any difference with longevity of my makeup, smoothness of skin - basically everything I look for in a primer. Also, I believe I was sent a sample, because the tube is SO small. There was no indication, but when I look on Nude by Nature's website it retails for $32 CDN so I really hope what Chick Advisor sent me for review is just a sample size and not a full size item (usually they sent full size which is what caught be off guard). Smashbox and NYX have the best primers (and NYX is half the price) that actually smooth out your skin and make your makeup last longer. Also the scent is of this could be nauseating if you're sensitive to strong smells like me. I got this for free from Chick Advisor (although like I said...I believe it's a sample??) -

The top coat works great with the CND polish! Looks super glossy which I love and hardens the nails. I tried it with a regular OPI nail polish and it chipped right away, So it's best to use with the matching CND polishes. The smell is a little chemical-y...but I guess that's to be expected. Overall I liked it a lot WITH the CND weekly polish. -

So I am a nail polish junkie and have tried every gel/long lasting polish you can buy from the drugstore. This has by far been the best one. I was sent Field Fox which at first sight I was not into, it looked beige and boring, but once I put it on my nails I really liked it - a sophicated taupe, nice for fall or for those who work in office settings.
As for lasting power, it wasn't a week, but it lasted longer than most polishes (it looked perfect for about 3 days and then slowly started to chip). I had it on for 6 days before I removed it (I can't stand chipped nails). What's nice is my nails were in great shape after removal ( unlike shellac). I saw they want $14 for one of these at Shoppers. A little steep but honestly it's one of the best nail polishes I've tried in a long time.

AXE Black Body Spray
The container is really cool, a twist to open nozzle ensures this won't leak out if it's in your bag. Scent is the same Black that I enjoy, very masculine without being overpowering. Body spray is a nice top up to the Black body wash.

Came in a standard deodorant twist up container. The stick is solid and light blue color. The scent is mild compared to other deodorants I've used. This is a good thing. Really held up well to a full day of work without ever having to reapply. Did not irritate my arms after using for about a week straight. Highly recommended. -

Received as a free sample. First impressions is that the bottle is good quality with a press-to-open top and not those flimsy flip tops that break off or just leak out product everywhere. I used the body wash for about a week averaging about 2 showers a day. The scent really lasts most of the day without being overpowering. Smells masculine, not sweet or floral. Can be combined with a cologne. The body wash was not harsh and did not dry out my skin. I used it on my face as well with no problems. I would have overlooked AXE at the store since it carries a "nigh club guy" reputation, however I was pleasantly surprised by their new line up. Would definitely recommend. -

I was hesitant to try this body wash because I am pregnant and throughout this whole pregnancy have been extremely sensitive to scents - meaning they make me feel super sick! I had to switch to an unscented shampoo and conditioner for most of my pregnancy. But I have to say this is such a great body wash with a very light scent. Not too sweet, not to overpowering at all- just fresh and energizing. The lather is great and one thing I absolutely love is the packaging...the bottle looks vintage! It just decorates my shower in the cutest way. I took a star off because the scent does not last on your skin for very long (which is probably a good thing for me). But overall I've been using it every night since I received it and my skin is so soft I skip putting lotion on. Great buy!!
I received this product for free from Chick Advisor but that would never compromise my honesty.

I was desperate for a hand cream as my knuckles are SO dry they're cracking so I was really happy to get this sent to me from Chick Advisor. I apply it every night and my hands are looking a lot better. The only thing is that I don't understand how's it's anti aging. Really how can a hand lotion be anti aging? But I love the scent and the moisture it provides so I would definitely repurchase. -

I was very excited to receive this from Chick Advisor as I'm in my third trimester of pregnancy and need all the oil I can get for my growing belly!! I really have been enjoying this...the scent is a little strong but that's likely just because I'm ultra sensitive to scents during pregnancy. A little less synthetic smelling would be nice though. The oil itself is great, a little goes a long way, I've barely made a dent in it and have used it every night since I received it. Would recommend for anyone who is preggers...it's just as good as some really pricey stretch mark oils I've tried. #gotitfree -

This lotion is great. I love how quickly it dries. In terms of firming I'm not sure a lotion can really "firm" a body, but it's still a great lotion that I would recommend. The scent is nice, not overpowering and I LOVE the pump. You get a lot of bang for your buck as it's a huge bottle. I really have no complaints! Love it!
