I received the CND VINDYLUX Weekly Polish for free courtesy of ChickAdvisor. I received the colour Salmon Run which is actually more of peachy colour. This is not necessarily my type of shade, but others may enjoy it.
Perhaps because it's what I'd consider more of a pastel colour, it was a bit streaky. I find that pastels seem to have this in common, which is made worse by highly ridged nails which even a ridge filler can't fix. I like two coats, a topcoat and out the door, so having to do three coats to get it to where I was relatively happy with the finish was a drawback. Since I needed more layers, it dried slowly.
The top coat has a great glossy finish, and goes on smoothly. It helped smooth out the slightly patchy finish of the polish which is a plus. I am very impatient with the dry time of my polish and usually use a quick drying topcoat, so unless I had ample time for the polish layers to completely dry, I'd probably continue to use my regular topcoat.
The wear was pretty standard for what I get. I type on the computer all day and I see chipping usually by the second or third day and this wasn't any different.
For the price, I'd have to stick with my usual brands as I really didn't see an improvement using this polish over other brands.

I received the Scotch Essentials Permanent Hem Bonding Strips for free to try it and review from ChickAdvisor and Scotch Essentials.
This is definitely going on my list as a holy grail product. I have issues with pants fitting because I have short legs and while the waist will fit perfectly, the hem is just too long, even when wearing shoes sometimes. Because I usually wear flat shoes, or shoes with barely any heel at all I used the permanent strips on my favourite pair of pants I always wear.
The instructions were easy to follow and now I don't have to take the time to visit a tailor and get them hemmed and shell out a bunch of money for something Scotch has allowed me to do for myself.

I received the Scotch Essentials Easy Fix Button kit for free to try it and review from ChickAdvisor and Scotch Essentials. The instructions were easy to follow and the temporary strips worked perfectly so I could change the length of my pants depending on if I was wearing flats or shoes with a bit more heel.
I can see this working great for my clothes in many situations since I have pretty short legs and my pants are pretty much always too long.

I received the Scotch Essentials Easy Fix Button kit for free to try it and review from ChickAdvisor and Scotch Essentials. The instructions were easy to follow and the button worked well and held fast while I needed it. I do have some clothes that need larger buttons, so it would be great to have a selection of different sizes for when you need it.
I wouldn't recommend this as a permanent solution, and I'm not sure how well the adhesive would hold the button on after a few washes, but it's a definitely great for a quick fix until a more permanent solution is found.

I was sent this product to test as part of the Chick Advisor product review club.
I have combination skin with a very oily chin and dry cheeks. A little bit went a long way and it absorbed into my skin quickly without leaving it feeling sticky or oily. After using this every morning I noticed my skin was brighter and more refreshed. My skin always looks the best first thing in the morning, but this improved upon it.
I'm really sensitive to some smells though and while it doesn't have a harsh scent, it is a little overpowering and lingers. The scent is lighter than the Skin Sleep, but If it was maybe even a little bit lighter it would be perfect.

I was sent this product to test as part of the Chick Advisor product review club.
I have combination skin with a very oily chin and dry cheeks. A little bit went a long way and it absorbed into my skin quickly without leaving it feeling sticky or oily. After using this every night I noticed my skin was much softer in the morning.

I received AnceFree Oil-Free Acne Cleanser free from ChickAdvisor to test. Since I have fair skin I have been using it only the recommended once a day. I find that just a small amount goes a long way. Even as an adult I get acne breakouts, especially on my chin. I found that it dried out the acne without drying out my skin. Other products I've used make my skin feel tight and sometimes even irritate my skin further. My skin felt really soft the morning after I applied it at night.
So far I'm happy with the results and hope it continues to help keep my skin soft and free of acne.
Only thing I think that could be better is the packaging. I'd prefer a pump style rather than the squeeze style container it comes in.

Absolutely love how it just glided on. It didn't drag or feel overly greasy or heavy. The colour payoff is excellent and can be applied heavier or blended depending on your preference. I really liked the glitter, but did have some glitter transfer to my lashes. I am a big fan of shimmery shadows, and think I could have a lot of fun with this. The colour itself did stay put and set nicely.
It also worked well as a liner, and despite being a thicker crayon I managed relatively thin lines. I'd love to see this crayon in non sparkly shades to use as liners as well.

Unfortunately I'm not a fan of this mascara. I found the wand holds way too much of the formula on it and even after wiping it off on a piece of toilet paper it still had too much. It did lengthen my lashes, but didn't provide a lot of volume. I also had issues with my lashes sticking together too much so I had to separate them.

Rather than using this under a mineral powder foundation, I decided to incorporate it into my regular makeup routine. I used this as a primer before my usual BB cream and found it made my makeup go on smoother. I also used it to set the BB cream and it looked great.
