I really love the smell of this facial cream you can really smell the citrus vitamin C scent which smells and feels so fresh on the skin.It really brightens the skin and makes it feel so soft and healthy.I bought a four pack of two skin creams, a honey mask and a facial cleanser in the brightening line.
The brightening line is for normal to combination skin.The ingredients are fantastic!Lots of herbs,honey and Vitamin-C in the ingredients.You can find the Andalou brand in most health food stores and specialty stores like Choices Market.They have a huge line of products.

I received this conditioning treatment in my March Glossybox.I am not usually a fan of Tresemme products but I really like this one and you cant beat the price when purchasing it in stores.It has a nice creamy texture and a nice light scent.The directions state to apply a generous amount in the hair and work it towards the ends using a wide tooth comb.
Leave it in the hair for 3-4 minutes and then rinse well using the treatment once a week.It also states that it reinforces hairs natural protective layer and protecting from future damage.My hair has been really dry so this is a great treatment for my hair.My hair felt really soft and shiny after just one use.

I received this cheek and lip tint in my March Glossybox.It provides a perfect amount of sheer color and looks very natural.The directions say to use a tapping motion when applying it into the lips or cheeks rather then rubbing it in.You can build the color up if you want it darker.I have tried a few beauty products from Modelco and have been really impressed with the quality of there products. -

I received this Serum in my March Glossybox.Im used to serums being clear and oily but this serum is very luxurious and creamy.I couldn't believe how soft and velvety this left my skin feeling.I like that it comes in a pump bottle that provides the right amount of serum to use.It also locks so that it cant spill.
It claims it reduces age spots,dark spots,sun damage and post acne marks.I do not have any of these issues but I do like using something that will protect me from any of these concerns in the future.My skin feels so fresh and really illuminated with using this serum.

*I received these razors for free to test as part of the Chickadvisor Product Review Club*
Thank you ChickAdvisor and Gillette Venus for this great opportunity to try and test these razors.I really enjoyed this review.I received eight different razors,cartridges and handles to try.When the Fed-Ex box arrived I was really excited and shocked to see how generous this sampling opportunity was.
Before being picked to review these razors I was already using the Olay & Venus razor.I have also previously tried and posted a review on ChickAdvisor of the Spa Breeze razor.so that left me six razors to test.What better way to test them out but to try them all at once!I wanted to be able to review and test them all before the deadline of submitting my review.
So on the weekend I hung up the six razors in the shower and tested them out . I'm glad I hadn't shaved and let myself get good and hairy to test them out lol.My shower is very colorful now with all these shavers hanging in there and I will have a choice of shavers to try next time I shave. I'm also glad I tested them this way because I now have a definite favorite Venus razor.
I have always liked Venus razors but never realized that they have such a big selection of razors and there all different.All the handles are interchangeable with any Venus cartridge.So depending on your mood or if you want to color coordinate with your bathroom the decision is yours.Personally my favorite color is blue so my favorite handle is the Venus Divine handle which is a dark blue.Here are my reviews below.
*Embrace Razor*(my favorite razor)
-5 curve hugging blades
-protective ribbon of moisture for a smooth glide
-seek handle
-in shower razor holder/cartridge storage
-handle color green on blue
-cartridge oval in shape
-comes with two refills
This is the Venus razor I will stick with defiantly my favorite.I like that it has five blades it seems to give me a much closer shave then the three blade varieties.I like the shape it really does seem to hug your legs/underarms as it glides smoothly over the skin.I prefer the ribbon moisture which gives the right amount of moisture.I prefer the ribbon moisture strip over the moisture bars some of the other razors had the bars which I find to bulky.It left my skin feeling really silky and really seemed to shave the closest in my opinion.It also had the best shower holder much more sturdy and more attractive looking then the small holder that does not suction quite as good as the embrace holder.
*Venus & Olay Razor*
-5 blades
-olay moisture bars release skin conditioners to help lock in skin moisture
-no need for shaving cream
-vanilla creme scent
-soft grip handle
-shower hook
-handle colour yellow(gold) on white
-cartridge is circular in shape
-one refill
I like that is has five blades which gives me a closer shave.I find the moisture bars are to much moisture for my liking it got quite messy and a slightly oily texture that got a bit slimy.I also found the cartridges seemed to clog up quite fast.The scent is fantastic I really like the vanilla creme smell and it was a pleasant smell to be shaving with.It did leave my skin feeling really soft from the moisture bars.I think this razor would be really good in winter when your skin needs a bit more moisture.
*Venus & Olay*(Sugarberry Scented)
-handle colour deep pink on white
-one refill
This one is the same as the Olay & Venus razor above except that it is scented in sugarberry.I prefer the Vanilla creme scented one over the sugarberry scent
*ProSkin*
-three blades
-moisture rich gel bars with extra rich body butters for smooth shave
-shower hook
-handle color dark blue on light blue
-cartridge oval to a circular shape
-two refills
I really feel like the razors with the attached moisture bars are just to thick(the bars) so that the razor cant give a perfect close shave which is what I want from a razor.It also has only three razors which works alright I just prefer the five blades.The extra body butters in the bar are nice for leaving your skin very smooth.I like that it is dermatologist recommended so a bit better for sensitive skin.
*Breeze Spa*(white tea scent)
-light lather shave gel
-three blades
-white tea scent
-in-shower hanger
-cartridge oval to circular in shape
-handle color iridescent pink on light pink
-two refills
-magnet for the fridge
I love the smell the light white tea scent is so pretty.It shaves well but after trying five blades I just prefer to stick with five blades in my shaver.This shaver also has the moisture bars but they don't seem as messy and overwhelming as on the olay infused bars.
*Breeze*
-handle color clear purple on light purple
This one is really the same as the Breeze spa in my opinion except the breeze spa has the lovely white tea scent.
*Venus Divine*
-three blades
-moisture strips with skin botanical oils
-moisture strip
-large shower razor storage
-cartridge oval in shape
-one refill
-handle color dark blue
I really like this razor with the exception of the three blades.I love the shape and like the moisture strips way better then those bulky moisture bars.I like that it has botanical oils as well added.I have been trying to research online to see what the oils infused are but cannot find that information.
*Venus Original*
-three blades
-protective cushions
-blue indicator strip fades away when your no longer getting a optimal shave
-cartridge is oval in shape
-handle color light blue
-large shower holder/cartridge holder
I love that this is the only razor that has a indicator that fades away when your razor cartridge needs to be changes.However I don't care to much for the cushions I prefer there to be a moisture strip added something in between the bars and ribbons.
My overall impression with Venus razors are they are superior and all work really well.With so many choices there is defiantly one to please even the pickiest shavers.The razors never nick or cut my legs.The razors never rusted.I cant say how many uses you can get from the individual razors as I don't have enough time to test that out.
They are all very pretty sleek razors that look pretty hanging in the shower.The scents are all very nice.I have sensitive skin and had no issues/break-outs with any of the razors.Thank you again ChickAdvisor and Gillette Venus for this opportunity to get to try the whole line of Venus razors.It was fun!I highly recommend these razors.

This cream has really helped with my dry skin this winter it has been so dry.I also have sensitive skin so I really have to be careful what I put on my face as I can have bad reactions to many skin care products.I also can be prone to breakouts on my chin which makes my skin so mixed up.
If a moisturizer is to greasy I know I'm in trouble.But this one is perfect it is unscented and feels fantastic on my skin.Its also perfect to wear under makeup.My skin feels moisturized and my dry red skin feels nourished and healed.

I've been purchasing so many lip balms over the winter suffering with dry chapped lips more then usual this year.My usual lip balm is Burt's Bees but I needed a more softer lip balm as the Burt's Bees I felt like I was dragging across my sore lips.
I got this Nivea mint and minerals at shoppers on sale for $1.99.I love it!It is so soft and just glides so smoothly over my lips.The mint is very subtle not as strong as Burt's Bees but the texture is so much nicer.Nivea has a huge line of lip balms and with how responsibly priced they are I will defiantly try the rest.

I received this shower gel in my February Glossybox.I have never heard of Anatomicals before they are a UK brand.The packaging of there products is so cute and really stands out.This one is a bright pink bottle with a bright yellow bottom.This shower gel smells of roses and jasmine.
It lathers up really well and you only need a drop.I love how my bathroom smells of roses and jasmine for hours after showering with this body cleanser.It also has a funny little write up on the back of the bottle.I just wish I could find these products here in Canada.
