This was a welcome surprise! The packaging was easy to open and with batteries included this Skitter was ready to go, right out of the box. The actual toy is lightweight but great quality. It is easily operated by an on/off switch on the underside of the skitter’s body. It comes with one additional piece required to propel the skitter forward, so don’t forget to insert that into the body of the skitter to work properly. My song and daughter loved following and dancing along with this small, but mighty Skitter! Thanks to Butterly and Spin Master for sending this to me for review! -

These activated charcoal capsules are a great solution to bloating and gas caused my over indulging this holiday season. These little tummy relievers work by absorbing gas-causing compounds and toxins in the gut, reducing trapped gas and discomfort that may be caused by indulging a little too merrily.
I love that it’s just a one ingredient, natural formula, keeping it simple and clean with no additives. So you can have your cake… and eat it too!
These are for occasional use and use should be avoided around any medications or other supplements you may be taking.
Thanks Butterly for letting me try these tummy tamers!

The Body Shop Brazil Nut Body Butter
I love the smokey winter scent of the Brazil Nut body butter simply reminds me of winter. It is very rich and moisturizing, great for dry skin. A little also goes a long way!

What you get:
Two small fun shaped buffers in one pack, I'm not sure if shape varies but I got a heart and a flower. The back of the packaging includes more information and instructions for use.
How it works:
Use the rough side to gently buff the nail bed to remove any ridges and imperfections, then buff with the smoother side to shine the nail.
Usage and results:
The first time I attempted to use this was on my toe nails and i found the shape of the buffer was a bit awkward to work with. Overall it provided my nails with a good buffing and shine, but i would prefer a more ergonomic shape.
*I received the Revlon Crazy Shine To Go Buffer as a part of the Chick Advisor Product Review Club.*

Layla's Flash Black is a charcoal grey/black holographic polish. The holographic effect shows off it's rainbows in indoor and outdoor lighting. My camera isn't the best with picking up holos for some reason, I'd say it is way stronger and prettier in person.
I applied two coats of Flash Black over Wet n' Wild Ebony Hates Chris. Application was a little difficult as first, but once I got he hang of it I felt like it was alright. The trick I find is to move quickly and smoothly with a light hand, this way you do not get any balding. I would recommend using a good holographic base for best application (Aqua base, etc).
After six days of wear and I experienced no chipping, only minor tip wear from my keyboard at work. Im thinking using a base polish helped out with that. I am very surprised it lasted this long without a top coat!

When I first saw Color Club's Wicked Sweet collection I was super excited about the yellow polish with the turquoise/green shimmer, Get Your Lem-on. Previous to trying it I had seen reviews of the full collection and heard that it was one of the sheerest in the bunch. I was kind of disappointed at first, but figured I could get the colour to be bright and opaque with a base of white.
I tried a white polish I got not too long ago, an old formula Sally Hansen Insta-Dri. It did dry super quick but I think I should have added one last coat to even the white out. Get Your Lem-on being was sheer that you could actually see the subtle streaking of the white beneath!
Three coats later I decided that I had too much polish on my nails and it was time to stop. I sealed everything off with Seche Vite so all the layers would dry fast and went to sleep. In the morning I woke up to a blindingly bright yellow mani! The shimmer wasn't too visible which again I was kind of disappointed about.
Over all I love the bight neoness of this polish. Although it isn't that apparent in the photos, I can assure you it is blinding. Next time I wear this I will make sure that the white polish beneath is fully opaque and take my time with it. I almost forgot to mention that this polish is scented also! The scent remindes me of lemon gum drops, it was strong when first applied, but faded significantly over a couple of days. If it wasn't so sheer it would be perfect! That, if the shimmer was more visable.

This remover is by far the best I have ever used! It really stands out from the rest of removers I have used. It easily removes the polish from my nails quickly like acetone, but doesn't bleed the colour out staining my nails (Also like acetone). One dab on a cotton pad really goes a long way, I was able to remove polish from 3 nails before applying more remover to the pad.
This polish remover stands out to be because it is so super moisturizing. I felt like I was removing the polish with cuticle oil! My hands were all oiled up by the end of the removal and was left with the soft scent of lemons. This is like a remover and cuticle oil all in one! This was my favorite product out of everything that was sent to be for review. Can you see the shiny gloss on my nails? that all the polish remover!

Dove Refresh + Care Invigorating Dry Shampoo

I love this dry shampoo! I have only used one other brand before, that is Suave. I find the Dove dry shampoo to add more volume than suave and dry the oil from my hair after a workout nicely. MY favorite feature is the volume it adds to my hair since the natural oils usually weigh it down.
To use just shake the aerosol can, lift the hair up and spray from a good distance away. I don't even use that much! you must comb your hair right after or finger comb the "spray" though because it does tend to look white otherwise. This is most apparent in darker hair.
Overall I love this and will purchase again, great price for a great product!

Bubble White is a nail cleaner/whitener that I purchased from Sally's Beauty Supply.
I decided to try this product because I had gotten some staining from a blue polish. This also stained the skin around my nails as well My nails were practically green! plus I already had some other yellow discolouring from constantly wearing polish. The first photo is the before photo.
The instructions were pretty simple, empty the contents of the bag in to a small amount of warm water, put your fingers in and wait 10 minutes.
After 10 minutes I scrubbed my nails with a brush and washed my hands with soap. From what I can remember I felt like I had some sort of film on my skin, kind of slippery? I also noticed that my nails looked like they had been eaten away at, if that makes sense. Not in a bad way, like the powder ate away at the stains. I gave my nails a quick buff an the second photo is how they looked after.
What do you think, a little better right? In the last picture you can still see some blue on my fingers, but that washed right off afterwords. Thre is still a little yellowing at the tips of some nails, but not as bad as before.
I have tried this again, not for polish staining but mostly for nail yellowing and it didn't really do much :( I would say that this does work if you have discoloring from a dark polish that you can visibly see after removal.
*I tried to post the best photos I could get, but it is still hard to see the before and after difference. It was more apparent in person.
