I received this product as part of the ChickAdvisor review club.
I own the larger size and found it cumbersome to use and you couldn't use all the edges but the smaller travel sized one are perfect. They do what they say they are meant to do and you can use nearly all of the sides and not just the edges.
I like the designs I kept the blue flower shaped one with the butterflies and gave my sister the pink heart shaped one. They are easy to use, travel well as you can just throw one in your purse or pocket for a quick shine when you need it.
I hope that Revlon comes out with more designs for the Crazy Shine to go buffers and maybe some new shapes for their full sized ones as well.

I love the Revlon Crazy Shine buffer, it does exactly what it's supposed to. It gives your nails that just polished shine. The only drawback I found was that it wears down and doesn't work as well and some of the areas aren't easily usable as they are too far back into the shape and you can by accident scrape off the shining material.
It's a good product and I will buy it again when it goes on sale. Their new sizes might be a better fit.

I loved the Dove Beauty Bar! It was creamy, lathered really well, was clean smelling without any unpleasant film left on my skin.
I really like this soap as it has a pleasant clean smell without being overwhelming. I intend to take this Dove bar with me camping as washing with it will help keep my skin moisturized but not attract the bugs.
It's really convenient to take along as you don't have to worry about leaking, I had moved away from bar soap as they were drying and body washes just seemed like a better idea but because of the Dove beauty bar I'm going back to bar soap.
Thanks to Chick Advisor picking me to review the Dove Original Beauty Cream Bar, I'm looking forward to buying it for a long time.

Febreze Car Vent Clips Freshener in Linen & Sky

I received this product as part of the Chick Advisor Review Club.
Pros: Really fresh, pleasant smell, small enough to hide from view (instead of the trees that hang from your mirror that scream "I own a stinky car!!") easy to insert into vents, handy scent strength dial, cool looking design.
Cons: didn't take away the smell but just masks it, when the heat is on, the smell can be a bit overpowering, don't think it would last 30 days as it's only been in the car for about a week and is half empty.
I really liked this product but I'm not sure about the way it is placed and it may be hard to find refills and if no refills are available,it would be a waste of plastic. I was happy to been able to try it.

I got this to try with the accompanying shampoo and although I like the shampoo, I can give the masque a pass. You are supposed to use it on shampooed dry hair then put on, leave on, then rinse off. It would be better if you could put it on right after the shampoo, like you would a conditioner. It's a bit time consuming to use. The smell starts off really nice but as you smell it again it gets fake smelling. It didn't do much for my hair except weigh it down and the price is insane! $30 for what is basically shampoo? No thanks. I wouldn't buy but I appreciated Chick Advisor giving me the chance to try it. -

Thanks to Chick Advisor for giving me the opportunity to try this product out.
I have thick, short, dry, wavy hair and I tend to lean towards shampoos that will clean but not weigh my hair down.
Pros: nice smell, a little like watermelon/coconut, easy to open bottle, product comes out easily and is easy to distribute through hair.
Cons: my hair had a lot static after use and flattened out quickly, couldn't read the blacked out ingredient on the label which bothered me, the smell doesn't stay in hair and after first sniff in bottle, it smells a little like chemicals. Too small and expensive. Doesn't work well on colored hair.
I haven't tried the masque yet because you have to wash and air dry your hair, then use the masque then rinse, which can be time consuming. The masque also has the blacked out ingredient, if it's an ingredient they don't use anymore, they should change the label otherwise it looks bad like they are hiding something, which isn't a good feeling when testing a product.
I don't think I would buy this due to the size and price.
Editor's Note: L'Oreal Professionnel has informed ChickAdvisor that the 'blacking out' of one product ingredient is due to a translation oversight on the packaging and is in no way intended to be deliberately misleading. The blacked out ingredient is "water".

I got this eyeliner because I've been looking for a good liquid eyeliner to replace my E.L.F. ones which have been disappointing lately (not enough pigment, dry, hard to find) and this one seemed like a good one.
Pros: well pigmented, easy application, pen style, easy to use.
Cons: doesn't stay on as long as advertised, felt tip is too soft and gets bent easily, not waterproof, ink doesn't always travel to the tip of pen.
It's a good eyeliner if you want to do something dramatic like the doodles on the face on the website but if you just want a liquid eyeliner that lasts, this may not be the one as it can transfer onto lower lash line and isn't waterproof.

I bought this lip balm because I am addicted to Dr. Pepper. It was abit more expensive than I would like.
Pros: very moisturizing, easy to apply in wind up stick form, has a pleasant cherry smell and adds a slight cherry color to lips.
Cons: expensive for the product (can be found online for less then $2) doesn't smell exactly like Dr. Pepper (more cherry scent) doesn't taste like Dr. Pepper and has a waxy taste.
I do like it better than regular chapstick and if I could get it for cheaper I would buy again.

I have been lacking when it comes to sunscreen, they have all been too thick, or hard to use and would melt into my eyes during exercise. So I started noticing sun damage on my face and around my eyes. I was browsing the skin care aisle looking for bug lotion when I came across this product.
It's easy to use and not too thick, it doesn't smell like other sunscreens, it's very lightweight on the skin, it moisturizes, oil free and most importantly,it doesn't melt into my eyes.
You don't need much to cover your face and it also contains Vitamin E.
I wish I had gotten a higher SPF but as I'm not in direct sun for too long the SPF 55 is plenty and I would like the price to be cheaper as it is pretty expensive for it's size 88ml

I've seen many youtube videos about shatter nail polish, it goes on over another color and the effect of one of shattering (broken glass) but in black, O.P.I only has the black color but there are other companies that have other colors with the shatter effect.
I got my black shatter at a beauty supply store and it was more then I usually pay for nail polish but it was a buy one get one free so I also bought Green-wich village (a grassy green color) to layer under the black shatter.
The black shatter takes some practice, it needs to be over another color as it doesn't work on bare nails and you have to be quick about the application because if you put it on too thick, the shatter effect is wider and not as detailed.
It lasts well as long as you put a top coat on over top and it dries very quickly.
One drawback is that when it dries, it pulls back from the end of the nails (shrinks) but as long as your base color is on, it looks fine.
I would buy it again as it looks cool and if they come out with more colors and if it gets cheaper.
I'm sure you can buy it cheaper at other stores but there was only one store in my area that carried it.
