One of my favorites! The mix of the dark chocolate, almond and the kind of citric taste of acai make the chocolate unique! I just wish the almond pieces were a little bigger, so could taste the almonds better. However, it is so good. I couldn't stop eating! The package is nice and the chocolate printed details are beautiful. I received this as part of the Product Reviews Club, but I research the price and it is around $3.70. I believe the price is a bit higher than I’m used to, but I would totally recommend to a friend and probably will buy again. -

The application is actually faster than I expected and at the end I couldn't believe that my nails dried so fast and how shine is the finish. I believe because of the application I had to do my nails again in less than one week, but when I tried CND Shellac in a different place, my nails stayed beautiful for more than 10 days. The color selection is just amazing! From neutral to dark ones and with colorful fun, I have plenty of colors to chose from. I was my first time using Shellac, and I wish during the application I had some information about the product and why is different from other brands. I'm glad that I had this experience because I could try Shellac for the first time and I loved!!! I already tried again and I will definitely continue to use it! Totally recommended Shellac to my friends and family. I just wish it could be easier to find the products and kits, so I could do at home for emergencies. -

The removal kit instructions are very easy to understand and the process is very simple. I followed the instructions and 8 minutes are not enough to remove the Shellac nail polish. I spend around double of the time to make sure the nail polish was removed, but a couple of nails it was impossible to remove 100%. The nails appeared okay and the finish oil for nails and cuticles makes all the difference.
I would not recommend this kit for a friend for two main reasons:
1) Availability: I looked in some places as Shoppers, Beauty Supplies and beauty stores and I couldn't find the removal kit
2) I researched on the internet and the average price is $8-$10, but it wasn't very effective and you need more than 8 minutes to remove the Shellac. Some salons didn't charge to remove or charge around $10, but the place make sure that the nail polish was removed completely.

Positive aspects:
-The location of the salon is very good, close to the Bay Subway Station
-It was easy to schedule the appointment
-The ambiance is amazing! The space design and music soundtrack makes you feel very relaxed
- The place is very clean and organized
-The nail technician started my appointment on time and she was professional and very friendly
- Great service with free and different kinds of drinks as coffee and tea
- Huge variety of Shellac colors to choose
-Hand massage and exfoliation as a plus service with no charge
Negative aspects:
- I received the Shellac manicure for free because of ChickAdvisor Club Review, but if I need to pay for the service I think the salon services are too expensive
- No WiFi available
- I think the application could be better. My Shellac duration was less than a week and got chipped. One of my nails was with a bubble and without me ripping out half of the Shellac was gone. I tried Shellac in another salon. It was cheaper and I preferred the application because after one week my nails still great.
Conclusion:
I recommend the salon because of the great service, however I so not recommend Shellac application there. I would recommend to a friend, but depend of the friend because of the price. I intend to come back to the salon for a regular manicure or pedicure, but not in a regular basis because it is expensive.

I loved this product! I used the Vichy Idealia Serum in the mornings under my facial sunblock and in the nights under the Vichy Idealia Skin Sleep. After a few applications, I noticed my skin is now very soft. During the day, increased the hydration, but without leaving the skin oily. Before I started this treatment, my skin was very dry, even though I was using facial lotion. In the night, I used together with the Vichy Idealia Skin Sleep and I noticed that in the next morning my skin looked fresh and hydrated. I have a sensitive skin, but I didn't have any reaction from the product. The serum is very easy to apply and blend well with the skin. I don't need a lot of product to apply in the whole face. I received this product as part of Product Review Club from Chick Advisor, but when I finished the product I will definitely continue the treatment. -

Definitely the best eye shadow stick I have ever tried because it is really smooth and soft. It is really pigmented and it has a beautiful silver sparkle. I tried the 06 Plum and it is amazing metallic color! I can use only this eye shadow or use as a base for a compact one. It is waterproof, so it has a good durability. I wanna have all the colors! *-*
ps: I got for free by Chick Advisor to tried, but I researched the price and it is around $14. It is not that cheap, but also it is not that expensive, so basically it has an average price. That's the only reason why I didn't get all the colors yet. rs :D

I tried the #6 and the color is beautiful!!!! The applicator is great because it helps to apply the gloss and give you more precise application. I loved that for a gloss, it has a really good durability (the best one I ever tried) and the pigmentation is amazing.The package is cute and interesting, but think that is a negative side because after using for while, it will be hard to scoop the product and used it all. I received this for free by Chick Advisor for testing, but I checked the price and it's around $12. I believe that is a good benefit x cost. -

The GOSH Crazy Volume Mascara has a big brush which make it easy the application and give the eyelash a good volume and a great look. What I loved is that the clump-free formula really works, so the product didn't clump after I started using it. I don't think is waterproof (I couldn't find in the mascara information package), but I used to for the whole day and the mascara doesn't smudge. I received this mascara for free to test from Chick Advisor, but I researched and the price is around $10, so I think it is a really good cost x benefit. -
