Would definitely recommend... and have!

I received this product from ChickAdvisor to try and really liked it. I have been waxing for years and almost do it at home. Because of how long I've been doing it, not a lot of hair grows anymore so I dont have to wax often, but the hair that I did have on my legs the strips picked up. A strip cut in half did both my legs so for the price it's a good value for me.
They arent as great for grabbing the shorter bikini area hairs, but it still worked.
The strips are pretty easy to use and no complaints. I'd likely buy again.

I love dry shampoo. I have thick dark hair and I try to only wash my hair once or twice a week. I also workout at least 3-4 times per week so I was really excited the try the Batiste Dark and Deep Brown shampoo. I love batiste products, but this one had a musky scent that I wasnt a fan of. I like light fresh citrus or baby powder smelling sprays for dry shampoo, but this was quite strong and heavy. I also found the dark was a bit too dark for me. I didnt expect to it to be so ashy so I had to use sparingly because my hair is warmer. When I styled my hair the next day (with leftover dry shampoo in my hair), my hand ended up looking dirty like I'd been handling a newspaper all day. The white/regular batiste doesnt do this or at least it's not noticeable.
As a dry shampoo, it works great and was effective in absorbing oil, adding texture, and refreshing my hair, but I think I'd stick to the regular batistse in future.

I received a coupon from Chick Advisor to try the Arm & Hammer Clump & Seal LightWeight Litter. I have two senior cats who can no longer use a small litter box so I have a 3ft(!!) litter box in my very small Toronto condo so getting the right litter is essential.
I can't believe how light this was to carry. Why didnt someone come up with this sooner?? I dont drive so being able to carry this home from the grocery store easily was amazing. I could bring two home at a time and still be fine.
The scent was a bit strong for my taste, but wasn't unpleasant and it died down after a few days. I tend to try for litter with no scent since it's right in my living room and I don't want artificial litter scent as the main smell when people come in, but this wasn't too bad once it mellowed.
One downside for me was the colour. I know this sounds crazy, but I have wood floors and a light carpet and my other litter tends to hide well in it if I go a day or two without vacuuming but this one sticks out. I also feel like my cats tracked it further than other litter, but again, maybe that's just because I could see it more.
It clumped well and lasted over a week which is great for my cats.
Would repurchase.

I love love love this cleanser. Full disclosure: I'm an Arbonne consultant so I love a lot of their products, but this is probably the one item I will use for the reset of my life no matter what. I've been using this for 5 years. It's gentle, it works amazing, my face doesnt feel like it has a film on it after rinsing, and it removes eye makeup about 95% off the way. I never stuck to any one cleanser until I found this one. It seems like it's on the pricier side, until you see how long a bottle lasts. You just need about a pea sized about for your whole face with foaming. Definitely recommended for just about anybody. -

Love these lipsticks. They're more hydrating than i would have thought for a lippie that dries matte and I was out at a party (eating and drinking) and the colour lasted the whole night without reapplying. The brighter colours are really vibrant and beautiful, though some of the mattes dont look great on darker or olive skin. I want them all now! -

I really love this product. I've been eyeing the Clarisonic for a while but wasnt sure if I was ready to invest in the price so receiving one from Chick Advisor to review was perfect! I have a lot of face products, masks, etc. and didnt know what the Clarisonic would add to my routine. After using I'm a total convert! The clean you get with the rotating head is so much better than washing with hands. It's similar to the finish I get on my skin when I use a Konjac sponge, but easier to use (in my opinion). I also got the lime green colour which has nothing to do with performance, but it is my absolute favourite colour so it makes it more fun. :) I like that the charger is magnetic - makes me less worried about getting water into open holes. I have combo skin and I could see this working great in the summer when my face is oilier (hello Toronto humidity!). Overall I really like the Clarisonic Mia 2. -
Marc Anthony Curl Envy Perfect Curl Cream

I have wavy hair, not curly hair. With the right mousse or spray I can get a decent curl, but usually it means crunchy hair for the day.
This was on sale so I thought I'd give it a go! I am really loving Marc Anthony products because they are paraben free and not tested on animals. This one doesnt have any alcohol in it either so it doesnt dry out my hair.
Love how this product makes my hair look. Love that it doesnt dry my hair. Love that I only need an amount about the size of a quarter for all my hair (there's a lot of it!).
This product is awesome and I'd definitely buy it again - probably even at full price! :)

I love my Tassimo! It makes so many different drinks and my boyfriend and I never have to fight over coffee. I like two cups of coffee on the weekend and I like them strong. My bf could take or leave it. With the Tassimo, I'm never wasting coffee - I only make what I'll drink and my bf can make himself a medium coffee if he feels like it! It's perfect and we definitely save money this way. Plus the machine couldnt be easier to use. We have a Keurig at work and in the 5 months since we've bought it, it's already broken once! -

This body gele is a miracle worker! It's my must have for the summer as it is unbelievably cooling for sun burns. It also works to soothe bug bites, sore muscles, hot flashes, and it moisturizes! Every time I it take to the cottage I get swarmed by my friends because it smells so amazing and it works. It is made from sea botanicals so it isnt greasy and it travels well in the tub - I havent had any spills when taking it on the road. I call this one my heals everything cream! -
