I can confirm this mascara is indeed waterproof, it survived an ugly crying session with no flaking or raccoon eyes in sight! I enjoyed the length and separation this gave my lashes but took away a star since I prefer a tad more volume. The natural bristle brush is tapered which made it easier to reach inner corner lashes. I would recommend this mascara but only if it is in your price range, no need to go broke over something you will need to replace in 3-6 months. -
Aveeno® Calm + Restore Daily Face Moisturizer Mineral SPF 30

Unfortunately, this is not for me. I have combo skin and this made me look dry and flakey. It also had a white cast on me and I have light-medium skin-tone so I can only imagine it would be worse for anyone darker than me. I tested this over a week wearing it 3 ways: on bare skin after cleansing, with my normal morning skincare routine underneath, and replacing my moisturizer in my morning routine with it. My best results were when I did my full morning skincare routine including a separate moisturizer. I did also try it underneath makeup and it seemed to fair ok. But this product pilled throughout the day on my face and neck plus it was very noticeable in my dark eyebrow hairs. I do not recommend this product. -

I have been using this every other night for the past week, alternating with my retinol evenings, and have really been enjoying it. Fair warning the texture may not be to everyone’s liking but I found it very amusing, the closest thing I can compare it to is snot haha thicker than a gel but not quite as thick as a cleansing balm. I have combination oily skin that is dehydrated and acne prone. This did not cause any breakouts and left my skin nice and plump in the morning. I prefer my skincare to be unscented which is why I gave this 4 stars instead of 5, that saying I may still repurchase it. I got it free as part of Chick Advisor’s Product Review Club. -

I have been using this serum for the last week and have really been enjoying it. I have combination oily skin that is acne prone but dehydrated. This worked a treat in boosting hydration without causing any breakouts. I also prefer my skincare to be fragrance free which this is, an added bonus. I will likely repurchase but wait for a sale at Shoppers Drug Mart (got to stay thrifty haha). I got it free as part of Chick Advisor’s Product Review Club. -
Joico Zero Heat Air Dry Styling Crème - Fine / Medium Hair
I prefer to air dry my hair partly to avoid heat damage but mostly because I'm lazy. I've found in the past most leave-in products weighed down my hair and left it feeling greasy. That was not the case with this air dry styling cream! It seemed to... +
I prefer to air dry my hair partly to avoid heat damage but mostly because I'm lazy. I've found in the past most leave-in products weighed down my hair and left it feeling greasy. That was not the case with this air dry styling cream! It seemed to disappear into my hair in the best way possible. The scent wasn't too overpowering which was a bonus, I often find hair products to be over scented. This worked well to smooth split ends and frizz for my medium straight hair. I received this free as part of the Chick Advisor product review club and intend to purchase it once I've used it up. -

I have tried many natural deoderant's on the hunt for the perfect one and Schmidt's has come out on top for me. I have previously tried their sensitive skin formula and enjoyed it but found the texture a bit chunky. This one hit the nail on the head texture wise and managed to keep me smelling fresh even after spin class. I like that the scent isn't too overwhelming so it doesn't compete with your perfume. All in all I'll definitely be buying this again once I run out. I received this free as part of Chick Advisor's product review club. -

It's always a gamble trying a new facial spray since you never know if you're going to get drenched, luckily this spray has a very fine mist. I did enjoy the light scent and finish it gave my makeup looks. I can't say it added anything to the longevity of my makeup, since my foundation still faded in all the usual spots (chin & nose). I will say that this isn't an everyday spray for me as it contains alcohol which can be drying. I got it free as part of the Chick Advisor Product Review Club. -

I was excited to try this foundation as I'm always on the hunt for an IT Cosmetics CC Cream drugstore dupe. This came very close coverage wise and I'd say just a tad more matte finish wise. For a third of the price I'd say this knocks it out of the park. I found fingers were the best for a quick and flawless application. I also appreciate the squeeze tube package as it's travel friendly. 10/10 would recommend! I got it free as part of the Chick Advisor Product Review Club. -

I really enjoyed the texture and refreshing, cooling sensation of this primer. It added hydration without feeling heavy and was tacky after application helping my foundation adhere better. I tried it with a few different foundations and found it helped prevent clinging to dry patches. All in all I would highly recommend this primer!

I enjoyed that this deodorant went on clear and didn't leave marks on any of my clothes. I also found the scent to be pleasant. The main cons were it did not last through a workout and on especially hot days (30 celsius or higher) I would have to reapply at least twice. I have other aluminum free deodorants that perform better in these instances. I will continue to use this when the temperature is a bit milder.
