I received this product free to review from Chick Advisor. Not going to lie, dandelion and nettle? Sounds kind of gross to me but the grapefruit flavour definitely overpowers it which makes it taste pretty decent, as someone who almost exclusively drinks fruity green teas. It also has a slight taste of ginger I think? Something warm and slightly spiced in it that gives a nice little kick of flavour. Very flavourful without adding any sugar to it. A decent tasting detox tea. -

I received a sample of this product to review in the mail. I got about 3 days worth, so I can’t really speak if it’s truly worth the price you pay. But I did like this moisturizer. It smells light and sweet, and it applies very lightweight. If it were cheaper I’d probably switch over to this product but I have several other moisturizer bottles on the go right now. -

I've been using Bioré products for a couple years now, and they've yet to make a product that disappoints me. I don't really know what micellar water is, let alone charcoal micellar water, but I really enjoyed this product. It smells clean and fresh, and leaves my skin feeling freed from oil that clogs my pores.
It looks black in the bottle but applies clear without leaving any residue on the face. It works well as a cleanser by removing oils and I've definitely noticed a difference in my skin. As a makeup remover, the product works really well but can be tricky near the lash line. It has to really saturate the cotton pad and be held against the lash line for a bit to remove everything. If it was a bit better at removing eye makeup I would have given it full stars.
I'd definitely recommend this product to individuals with oily skin as a cleanser. As a makeup remover, it requires a bit more effort than what I currently use, but is much more gentle and doesn't sting my eyes.

Sally Hansen Instant Cuticle Remover
Love this product. It’s effective and inexpensive. Works very quickly at removing my cuticles. I use it before doing my nails all the time! And one bottle lasts for a really long time.

I’m not sure why/how people on other review sites are giving this powder glowing reviews because this product is barely useable. Clearly they’re using witchcraft to enchant this product into being functional.
You can swirl your fluffy brush, blending sponge, or powder puff as much as you want and pick up almost no product. You can even drag your finger across the powder to try and swatch it and get next to no product. Physically, you need to scrape it into oblivion to get product onto your brush.
The most hard-packed powder you will ever try and not worth the hype. I’m sure if you can manage to get any powder onto your brush that the formula is nice but we’ll never know.

Not the best tasting energy drink but it gets the job done. Gives me the energy to stay up at work so that I don’t fall asleep at my desk. If you are sensitive to caffeine or sugar, opt for the sugar-free one otherwise your heart will beat like you’ve just run a marathon and your brain may act a little sluggish when drink’s effects start to wear off.
*disclaimer: unfortunately my product must have been a dud. It did not give me wings.

I like the subtle/natural glow that I get from this product, but it can be tricky to apply because it's liquid. You have to be careful not to use too much product, and be precise with how you try and blend it out. I find that brushes and fingers don't work well because it can make it apply patchy, so you'd likely be better off using a blending sponge to apply it. Overall it's okay once you figure out how to apply it, but I probably wouldn't get it again. -

Everyone on review sites raved about this product and is been meaning to buy it. I ended up winning it in a Facebook giveaway from Rexall. I like the colour, and it swatches well. But I’m not sure if it’s the product, my skin tone, or the brushes I’ve been using, but I can’t seem to get it to give me a nice and noticeable glow. I can only seem to get a subtle glow. I still like it though and when I finish it I’d like to try some of their other colours. -

I was looking for a new go-to liquid liner to wear everyday. I despise felt tipped liners, which seems to be all any makeup brands sell nowadays. I had a lovely employee at Shoppers help me find something with a fine brush tip and they showed me this brand. I had never heard of Vasanti before buying this, but I really like that it's 100% Canadian owned and operating out of the GTA, and 95% of their products are manufactured in Canada.
This liquid liner has such a fine tip for perfect lines. It's formula is smudge proof and sweat proof, and has a matte finish. I've been rained on without having the liner budge, and I cried while watching a sad video about a dog on YouTube without it budging too. It lasts all day without fading or flaking away.
The only concern that I have is that the brush is that it's almost a little too thin. It can be hard to pick up product with it, which means I'm constantly dipping to get more product on the brush. I don't think I'd tackle a wicked thick cat eye with this liner. Maybe trace the outline and do the fine tip of a cat eye with it, but I'd probably fill it out with a different liner. But this product is amazing for an everyday natural look, which is what I wanted from it.

I received this product to test and review from Chick Advisor. I've been trying this product for about a week now, and so far I'm really loving it! The smell was unexpected, as I've tried clay masks before and they usually smell earthy. This product smelled clean and fresh, very much of aloe, and I couldn't smell the mint. I love how soft the scent is.
The product fights acne 3 ways: by absorbing excess oil and washing away impurities, by treating pimples without overdrying skin, and by helping prevent future breakouts.
You can use the product 2 ways: as a cleanser and as a mask. As a mask, the product is extremely gentle on the skin, and doesn't make my face tingle after it's been on for a couple minutes like other masks. As a cleanser, the product is still gentle, and makes the skin feel soft and clean. I find my face is a little dry after use, so I always apply moisturizer after cleansing.
In all, I really enjoy this product and would definitely recommend it. I find it comparable in price and effectiveness to my favourite drugstore brand Bioré. It's made my skin feel and look very clean and has helped fight my acne breakouts.
