I received this as part of the Chickadvisor Product Review Club
I used this base coat with the CND Creative play nail polish and top coat. I was really pleased the color only took one coat for full coverage. This base coat dried really fast so doing your nails is a breeze. The nail polish lasted 5 days with until a chip so really good lasting power. I would buy this base coat!

I got the colour Crimson Like it Hot and it's a bright red shimmery color, quite christmassy. I really liked how opaque this one with one coat! I used this in conjuction with the CND Creative Play top coat and base coat and I found it dried quite quickly however not as fast as Seche Vite, but CND doesn't say this is quick dry so I was impressed by the dry time. It lasted a good 5 days for me, it went through the pretty tough test of disassembling a laptop and came through with a few scuffs but not chips! Overall I would purchase this again.

I used this body oil mainly on my legs as they tend to look ashy after shaving. My legs looked great after using the oil! They had a nice sheen right after applying but didn't feel too greasy. You can definitely apply this and wear a skirt without worrying it will stain. I did feel firming on my legs, they looked a bit more defined but the slight sheen also helps with making your legs look nice and slim. I liked that the bottle wasn't messy and the product was easy to dispense as well. I would definitely purchase this when I run out!

I have eczema on my hands that flares up when I do dishes or get very sweaty, etc. As a result they are dry and crack and get quite painful. I really liked how this lotion didn't sting badly when applying and it helped keep my hands moisturized until they healed. I cannot say anything about the long term anti aging affects but it was a very nice moisturizing hand cream and my hands looked better after applying.

My skin can be dry and with eczema I always need to use body lotion. I liked that it was not greasy and absorbed readily into the skin. It left my skin feeling soft and well moisturized. I mainly used the body lotion on my arms and chest and I did feel the firming effects on my arms (the oil on my legs). The smell was nice and not too strong. Overall I was very impressed!

I really didn't like the taste of this bar. I didn't find it very lemony, just very artificial sweet. The texture wasn't great either, it was powdery. The nutritional breakdown is quite good but you can get the same with the much better tasting PowerBar ProteinPlus Reduced Sugar Creamy Chocolate Peanut Butter version. Definitely do not recommend this flavour.

I got this for free as part of the product review club from ChickAdvisor.
This was a nice peanut butter chocolate protein bar that was not super heavy like a lot of other bars I've tried. I like that it's low in sugar, it does have a sweetener after taste but I don't mind it so much. The nutritional breakdown is good, I wish it was a little lower in fat but it is peanut butter so I can't criticize it for that. The protein ratio is good and carbs are low (I don't include sugar alcohols as carbs). I would definitely repurchase this flavour.

Nivea Moisturizing primer, is moisturizing but not a makeup primer.
I used this as a primer under my makeup during the weekdays. I work in an office so I don't get sweaty or anything like that. I found it to be a nice morning moisturizing but in terms of my makeup lasting longer? Not really. I found I had to touch up at around the same time as when I use my regular non-primer moisturizer and makeup. I also didn't find my makeup applied easier or smoother or any different at all versus my regular moisturizer.
Overall it isn't really a two in one step. As a moisturizing it's good as a primer not so much.

NIVEA 3-in-1 Micellar Water

Really great product, I didn't find it drying at all and it removed all my makeup really effectively. No stinging of the eyes and not oily. I didn't feel like I needed to rinse afterwards either. I also really liked the bottle! This is a huge deal because it's basically like a water a non leaky bottle is a must. Overall I would really recommend it.

I am very glad to be chosen to review this product! I regularly substitute breakfast for a protein shake or bar so this fit the bill. I really like how it mixed in easily and the taste was nice chocolate. Overall I was really please, it was a nice change from my usual products. I would purchase these again, the sugar vs protein ration isn't ideal but sometimes you don't feel like having a _protein_ shake you know? -
