I was really impressed with how smooth of a texture this base coat had. I find with a lot of base coats it's a thick application, but the CND product was nice and thin and covered evenly. It did not take long to dry either. When I removed the polish it came off very easily, and I think a lot of it was due to this base coat being a thin application. #gotitfree Thanks CND & ChickAdvisor! -

I was so excited to find out I had been chosen to receive a free sample of the eos Crystal Lip Balm in Hibiscus Peach! I love eos products and use them faithfully. This new product was just as fabulous. The clear product was very surprising at first! Not at all what I expected when I opened the cute pink container. And that flavour - yum!! I find myself reapplying just to taste it. It's incredibly moisturizing and it has serious staying power. Highly recommend.
My only negative is I found the new shape of the container a bit harder to open and close than the older shape - but after I got used to it I was less worried about hitting the product inside.

This moisturizer attracted me initially with its SPF. I bought it to use in the summer months.
I find it a bit greasy compared to my regular daily moisturizer with a lower SPF, which is why I chose to stop using it and didn't buy it again.
But I loved having a higher SPF for my face and the citrus scent was very nice! A great little boost in the morning.

This is one of my Top 5 favourite Avon products.
This very affordable product compares directly with the high-end beauty store brands at less than a third of the price. The regular price on this product is about $14.99, but it is on sale regularly for $9.99. About once a year or so it goes on sale for $7.99 and I stock up then.
The one awesome benefit to this product is that it has an spf of 20! I love that, but as I generally tend not to apply primer to my nose I have to try and remember to apply it on sunny days.
The Avon Magix Face Perfector has a soft texture - when I tell people about it I refer to it as what it would feel like to put a cloud on my face. I love the way it goes on my skin so smoothly.
I follow up with my foundation and I find the coverage stays great throughout the day - I cannot recommend this product enough!

This product is one of my top 5 favourite Avon products - I use it every day.
What I really love about this product is that it is a lotion texture and not just a liquid, which I find adds to both its effectiveness and its ability to be gentle on the skin. Applying with a cotton pad you only need a small amount for both eyes, and it leaves the eye area feeling smooth and refreshed.
This product goes on sale for $0.99 at least once a year, and it's a great time to stock up. At a regular sale price of about $1.49 or $1.99, you still can't go wrong.
The small bottle lasts an incredibly long time, and its petite size makes it great for travelling as well.

I find the Avon scented candles provide a great lasting effect while they are burning and even after.
I like that they offer different scents throughout the season and fan favourites continue to come out every year.
When I'm done with a candle, I usually empty out the jar and then use it for storage or arts and crafts.
When these are on sale, you can't find a comparable product for cheaper - it's a great time to stock up!

For the great hype about this product, I really expected more.
I find that this mascara does not add length or volume to my lashes, and I also don't find it lasts very long at all before it seems there is no product coming out on the wand.
A lot of times you get what you pay for and I believe that this drugstore variety mascara lives up to that hype. I'll stick with my Avon mascara that costs less when it's on sale, and does a much better job of making my eyelashes pop.

I received a coupon to exchange for a free full-sized Nivea Cocoa Butter Body cream from Chick Advisor.
When I went to the store I was shocked to see how large the product was - much bigger than the size I was expecting to get. However the price tag was larger too - $14.99. Right off the bat I knew this was a moisturizer I would likely not purchase again for this price.
However, the quality of the moisturizer is bang on. As it is labelled a "body cream" and not a lotion, I knew to expect a thicker, deeper moisturizer and I was not disappointed. This huge tub of bliss has lasted me quite a while now, and I am not stringent when I put it on. I find it leaves my skin feeling very nourished, and soft. It also has a very pleasant scent to it, which I liked. It is not a strong cocoa scent.
This product would be ideal to use before bed for someone who has a rushed morning routine. I like to apply it once I've gotten out of the shower and am still in my towel, allowing the time necessary to absorb nicely into my skin before I get dressed. It's a great choice to use on your legs after showering, as it provides a nice, deep level of moisture.
I would likely purchase this again for a lower price, Nivea is a good brand name and I was very satisfied with this product. I also like the tub as opposed to a squeeze bottle - not only is the tub easier to apply from, it is easier to re-use and recycle, unlike the tube varieties.

I got this product for free to review for Chick Advisor, it took me a while to find this in my local area, but I found it right at the last minute.
I am not a fan of martinis so I was a bit skeptical with this drink mix.
I'm making my drinks non alcoholic so I added some of the mix to a glass with 7 up and ice. IT WAS DELICIOUS. I had set my expectations low (I think mostly due to my wariness on martinis) and I was so impressed. With the 7 up this tastes just like a blue Mr. Freezie. And I think adding some vodka would be a fun way to enjoy an "adult" Mr Freezie during the warm summer weather ahead! :)
Definitely recommend for picnics and BBQs ! Fun to mix non alcoholic for the younger crowd so they feel more mature too!

I got this product for free to review for Chick Advisor, it took me a while to find this in my local area, but I found it right at the last minute.
The Mai Tai mix was stronger than I had expected. I added a small amount to some ginger ale just to kick it up a bit and had to wait a bit for ice cubes to melt to make it more enjoyable. It has a nice citrus taste to it though and using less mix made it easier to drink.
Looking for non alcoholic drinks that are still fun - add this to some non alcoholic creations to give your faux cocktails a nice spin!
I can't wait to try it with the ice tea as suggested in a recipe. Sounds delicious.
