I really enjoyed this product! I received it in my grab bag at the Cinq a Sept event. I got the red water but I also tried out my friend’s rose water colour and they are both lovely! It’s more of a wash of colour than a traditional lipstick and feels very comfortable on the lips. It’s very light feeling and I think this gives it a more natural looking stain on the lips. I wouldn’t say this lasts all day long but you definitely get a few solid hours of wear before having to reapply. Bonus: it also smells delicious! -

I received this product to test and review from the Cinq a Sept event. I have very dry hands all year long, even in the summer, and that includes my cuticles. I have been using this oil nightly and I have found that my cuticles feel a lot less dry and rough. It also smells delicious! It is a bit on the pricey side for the amount of product you receive, but it definitely works well and I will likely repurchase it in the future. -

I received this product in my grab bag at the Cinq a Sept event. It might have been my fav of all the products in there! It's extremely lightweight and sinks into the skin immediately, without leaving behind any greasiness at all. It has a very light and refreshing scent that isn't at all overpowering. Most importantly, it is SO moisturising. It made my skin feel incredibly soft, and it lasts for hours. Highly recommend! -

I received this conditioner complimentary to test out and used it after a long weekend at the cottage where my hair was exposed to sun and lake water the whole time. I colour my hair (natural dark brown and I’ve been doing blonde balayage for a few years now) so I have very dry and damaged ends and this conditioner really improved the look and feel of them! I was very pleasantly surprised with how well it worked. Also smells great - I found the shampoo to have a bit of an overpowering floral scent but the conditioner smells delightful! -

I received this shampoo complimentary to test out and used it after a long weekend at the cottage where my hair was exposed to sun and lake water the whole time. I wasn’t really expecting to see much of a difference but I was pleasantly surprised that my hair felt softer, smoother, and more manageable after my shower! Very happy with the results. Only thing is that the scent is very strong and somewhat floral which I don’t love but it’s not enough to deter me from using this product again in the future! -

This was a great product that I was given the opportunity to test out for free. It’s very lightweight and doesn’t leave behind any greasy or sticky residue at all. It added a nice shine to my hair and made the ends look especially smooth - I have dark brown hair that I’ve been slowly destroying with blonde balayage for the past three years and this really made a difference to how healthy my hair looks! Highly recommend! -

I was given the opportunity to test this masque out for free and I’m so glad! I didn’t expect to like it as much as I did. My hair felt so soft and smooth after use and a little bit of product went a long way, even though I have long thick hair. There is still plenty left for a few more applications! Scent is mild so people with sensitivities should be fine. Will probably purchase again! -

I received this product for testing from ChickAdvisor. #gotitfree
I think this is a nice hand cream for the summer months but unfortunately I don’t think it’s enough for very dry skin especially during the winter. It does sink into the skin very nicely and doesn’t leave behind any stickiness which I really loved. It also has a very light scent, nothing too overpowering, so even my husband used it a few times. It did give me some moisture but it just doesn’t have enough for super dry winter time skin. However like I said, great for the summer!!

I was given the opportunity to test out this product from ChickAdvisor. #gotitfree
So let me start by saying that this product worked very well. It was effective in getting my makeup off, had a nice light scent that wasn’t overpowering, and my skin felt very nice and clean afterwards. However, unfortunately I can’t actually recommmend these due to the excessive packaging. Yes of course they are convenient for travel but it’s just such a waste to have each tiny wipe individually wrapped! We need to be doing better for our planet. Even packaging them in smaller groups of 8-10 wipes or something would be much better than this and still easy to travel with.

I was super excited to try this out because I really hate super thick and heavy sunscreens. This one was excellent! Very lightweight and easy to spread and didn’t leave behind a sticky or greasy residue at all. The scent is also very nice and light and fresh, which I also really liked in comparison to most other sunscreens. It’s a little pricey for how much you get but the quality is definitely there. Another bonus is that it’s under 100 mL so can be packed on a carry on! -
