I received this product as part of the Chick Advisor review club.
I got orange flavoured version of these drink mixes, I found they tasted like artificial vanilla and had zero orange in them. I really tasted like someone squirted a lot of artificial vanilla into my water. It wasn't bad, it wasn't good. It said to mix it with 1/2 a cup of water, I mixed it with 2 cups and found it was an ok strength.
As for its claims, I think it contains the vitamins and caffeine to get me though part of my day. It really isn't anything fantastic or crazy to boost my energy. I had one around noon and am now drowzy at 5 so there is no way it gives me the pep needed to get to the gym after work, but it is a bit of a boost.
I like the convenient packages and that it isn't a powder.
What I did not like one bit was that it contains two PARABENS in it!!! I do not want those in anything I digest, period. Because of this I would not buy this again.

I revived this product from chick advisor to review. I got the shade Crimson crush, which is as its name describes it, a crimson red. I feel it is a classic red
, reminiscent of the holidays with great metallic sheen to it. The two step cnd vinylux system is easy to use. I like that no base coat is needed and that the top coat leaves the nails so glossy and perfect. As for Crimson crush, it went on so well. Smooth and opaque. That I didn't feel a second coat was nessisary. Which lets face it, never happens. I found the formula lasted longer then the average polish, but with my wrough usage l, still only lasted a few days. The brush is a typical round one, nothing fancy or special about it
Overall I like the two step system and would consider getting more shades to have in my collection.

Ninja 3 Pack Blender/Grinder/Mixer

I love my Ninja . I usually use the largest or the smallest for blending and have the middle one stored away. I can actually turn ice into a snow cone (and fast too). I really love the fact the blades are in more than one area, so you never really get that problem where a blender with little blades just at the bottom just cant do the job. The little one makes for great chopping while the bigger two smoothies and purees.
The only down side is there are these little clear things that you need to keep and put on the top everytime. Well one got lost and then so did the other. It really shouldn't be like that.
But it makes the best smoothest smoothies, snowcones and chopped food fast.

Batiste Dry Shampoo Original Clean & Classic

I love this dry shampoo so much that when I saw a double pack with a mini at costco I got two packs. Now a mini lives in my purse, a large at my work and one in my house which a whole pack ready to be back up.
It leaves your hair feeling great, not heavy, chalky or white like other dry shampoos. It really is known as the best brand for a reason, it is. I've tried so many others but always come back to Batiste.
I love the original, I want to try other scents but to be honest I just don't want to try anything else, if it isn't broke don't fix it I guess.

Scotch Essentials Easy Fix Button
We were moving and the husbands tossed the sewing kit. Of course he lost a button the next day and had a melt down. This dos a great temporary solution. Great for travel or an office.

Ever wear a pair of heeled shoes with pants and then flats another time and wish your pants were just a different length to go with the different shoes. These are great for that. I hate having to take my pants in to get hemmed and alway fear they will be long or short for the shoes I want in the end. These are quick and take 2 minutes to use. If you make a mistake, they aren't permanent. But also if you want to let them out a bit longer or take them up higher you can because they are adjustable and not permanent. Which is great.

I cannot sew! That is a fact. Broke my sewing machine and left hand stitching anything I need. Sewing the hems of pants is not fun or easy. These are easy to use and they work well. I used to get my pants hemmed at the dry cleaners but after one leg fell loose while wearing the pants I decided it wasn't worth the money. These work and hold your pants in place really well. They are much cheaper then hemming at a seamstress or dry cleaner and they are quick so you don't have to wait to get them back.
I was really impressed at how well they worked.

I was sent this product for free to try out from from Chickadvisor and Amope.
I really am not one to spend the money on pedicures, as a result my feet are not that pretty. I work on my feet all day so there is a lot of callouss and dead skin build up. I even sometimes get those loose flaps of dry skin that are like hang nails. So there, my feet need filing, and more than I give them.
That being the Amope Pedi Perfect way out performs anything I've tried at home before to scuff off that dead skin. hands down the best. It is easy to use and is way better than anything you can use manually.
When using it on dry skin you can see it all just inside my bath tub. Skin is smooth and calluses are all gone, it just takes a bit of time when your feet are as bad as mine.
Overall I really like this product and think it works really well on dry feet to scale back all the dead skin.

I got a cute little green mia 2 from the product review club earlier this month. I love it!
It was totally different than I thought it would be. I thought it was a scrubbing type brush for your face, but it isn't. It moves in a sonic motion that you barley feel it move back and forth but you totally feel it massaging your face.
AS for cleaning, it does a great job. My skin has cleared up from any blemishes it had.
Smoother, softer skin? Check. My skin feels so smooth on even its usually rough sports.
My skin flairs up a lot when over washed or stimulated with scrubbing, yet this was fine for twice a day use.
Overall I am loving it. Definitely worth the investment, it really performs the way it claims to.

This is one of the few foundations that I have repurchased in the last few years. I just love it.
I am 115 and it is a perfect match. It goes on just right for day or night wear with good coverage and easy blending.
I love to use a beauty blender with it but my hands work great too.
Really no draw back to this one.
