Okay if you can actually see the different groove then any other blender I have ever used ( I have 2 other ones) and this one tops them all.
Your face has different curves angels and needs a unique tool that is going to do exactly what we need and easily.
Having different sides to work with makes it a lot easier around my eyes nose, hell just everywhere with my non symetric face lol.
You can't really tell, I guess I didn't do the size shot very well but it does expand quite a bit, but fits nicely still in your hand and easy to work with.
I give this a 10/10 to be honest, for $9.99 it is well worth every penny, it's incredibly soft, doesn't absorb all your product, fits every angel on your face and blends everything nicely.
The ONLY thing if you really wanna pick at it would be I personally can never get these suckers back to their original colours after I have used them enough but I really could care a less about that.
If you are looking for a good quality beauty blender, I highly recommend this one, doesn't break the bank and I love how soft it is.
Absolutely no cons! This is well worth every penny!

Seriously, FINALLY a brush that I can use in my hooded eyes! I was super stoked to review this unique silicon liner brush and haven't seen anything like it before. The tip is super precise so the line is nice and clean.
This little guy makes putting cream eye liner on super easy-I still have a tricky time with the wing but thats just because of my lack of skills and skin.
Comparing this to a traditional liner brush for cream liner is almost comical since this brush takes the cake. It is flexible yet sturdy and is super easy to clean, plus not really any drying time needed.
you can do small narrow lines or thicker depending on the look you want. I have no cons about this liner brush actually, I think it's great for anyone to add into their kit of brushes. The only "con" I could come up with is that you may need more product compared to the hair liner brushes since you do need to pick up a little bit more product since I feel it doesn't keep the product on the brush it slides off onto your skin which is a good thing really since you don't want all the product just stuck in your brush.

COLAB Sheer Invisible Dry Shampoo in Rio Tropical

Okay I never ever thought I would slightly turn my head on Batiste dry shampoo but I'm sorry to say it might have to move over!!!! This is GENUIS! I have some what dark hair, purple roots and previously black hair so I ALWAYS had the fun problem of the grey/white hair residue that wouldn't always go away after using 99% of dry shampoos. So you can imagine to my extreme shock this really left nothing!
The pictures I sprayed the dry shampoo close to my roots to show worst case scenario of any grey/white colouring that may possibly be in my hair, and I have to laugh because it was very faint.
If you do spray the can a good 5 or so inches away you won't have any color on dark hair.
The LONDON CLASSIC has a nice smell, maybe a tad more on the masculine side, but not a cologne smell, not sure if that makes sense or not, but it is nice. I did prefer using the RIO TROPICAL as it is a nice tropical scent :)
It actually works like a DREAM! I had so much added volume, leaves your hair feeling fresh,clean and volumized. I was EXTREMELY impressed with this product and completely shocked at how well it just blended into my hair. My hair is usually gross feeling after day 2 since it is so fine but since I have been bleaching it I am washing it less to try to save it. When I did spray right the product up against my hair (again no need to do that but just to show) it did just brush right out and my colourful hair was back to life again. I CANNOT wait to purchase the COLAB EXTREME VOLUME and see how well that product works, I have high hopes!:)
PROS:
*$9.99 for 200ml
* Smell is very nice, not over powering
*Does exactly what you want it to do
*Leaves your hair feeling fresh
*Adds volume
*No unwanted grey color left behind like 99% of the other dry shampoos out there
CONS:
*I don't have enough of Colab products!
Would I purchase this? ABSOLUTELY! Would I recommend? You bet!!!

I cannot stress enough how much I LOVE Ecotools brushes, cruelty free to start with and the quality is so amazing especially for the price.
I have purchased brand name expensive brushes and I honestly always go back to Ecotools 90% of the time.
LOVE LOVE LOVE the shape, goes so smoothly across your under eye area.
This is a unique cut so there is less pulling around the eye area. The bristles are straight and firm but yet soft,which is needed!
It may be a little difficult to see the end of the brush but it's nice and fairly soft. I really like the look of the blue with the yellow leaves on the bamboo handle!
Okay so I used an under eye concealer as well tried with a light bb cream to see if there would be a difference and I am sad to say I didn't notice my lines disappearing! This isn't Botox! WHAT? ;)
Maybe I am doing it wrong? LOL. I cleaned off my face and actually just used it for powder around my eye and i quite enjoyed that!
I will be playing around with this more to see if I can come up with maybe a better solution of what I was working with, I am not in love with the lines on my face still but I kind of think that doesn't go away no matter what, that's just my wishful thinking LOL.
I do think if you are an under eye concealer person this brush would be great for you if you don't want to use your fingers, I didn't find the brush absorbed much product and blended out easy with the bb cream, maybe my concealer was too thick or maybe I need a primer first? I don't really use under eye concealer since I always find it enhances my poor little lines but I would recommend this brush for anyone who does do the nice under eye brightening look!

Sadly I have had to get a second job on top of my photography-so forgive my lack of posting guys!
I actually meant to mention this product ages ago since I fell in love with it immediately! I had to work a 8-5 job then go straight to my 5:30-midnight job 5 days a week and one day on the weekend so you can imagine my feet were KILLING ME!!!! I whipped out this trusty little product and to my surprise my blisters stopped! Once the ones I had went away this was like protection in tiny bottle, my feet armour! I used it daily and it would work well into the late hours of my shifts.
They say you do get 50 applications per can, I do believe that as I got a lot of uses out of this and need to pick up some more since the odd time I am wearing shoes that hate my feet- Oh wait! I currently have one of those jobs as well! So I am in need stat!
Pros:
Works exactly as it says
Dries quickly
Nice spray can, not any kind of cream
Very minor scent if any
Cons:
Only con I can think of is I am not in love with the packaging but really that doesn’t matter if the product works!
If you are a girl with shoes that hurt your feet-I am sure you can relate, definitely give this a try!

I have combo skin so keeping the oil controlled as well as not having flaky patches has ways been annoying. I have used many matte powders before but this one takes the cake!
It is super dry so if you have dry skin or more dry then oily I wouldn't recommend it for you.
This doesn't exactly hide my pores but it does make my skin look even, matte and dare I say nice?
The price was good for drug store, i'm cheap but it was around $9 so I can complain since it will last a while.
I use this almost daily especially with summer to keep the shine away and I love it!

I was again very lucky to be a part of the crew who received the VICHY products to review and I am very pleased with them!
This is Vichy's Idealia Life Serum, has the nice packaging with a PUMP! That is one thing EVERY facial product should have! The serum has many benefits that claim to transform skin within 8 days.....from pores to help with the aging process. I have been using this for almost two weeks and I can't say I have any less pores or too much transformation in my skin BUT I do really love it! It has the stronger scent that I do love, others may not. Your skin does feel more supple, more hydrated and just healthier. I can't wait to see how things are once I have used the entire bottle! This absorbed quickly into my skin without leaving it greasy or as if I had lets say a drugstore facial product(no offence I just haven't found one I loved yet)
I would recommend this and possibly even purchase it once I am finished as I melt for a good skin care product! A good canvas is the start for anything good! :)

I was super lucky to receive this product to review from Chick Advisor and here are my thoughts...
First off the packaging! LOVE the pearly pink with the silver is beautiful. The lid on VICHY IDEALIA is a cool mirror on top,makes it look very fancy to me!
The smell when you first open the jar is incredible to me, I can see it being over powering to some, maybe even bad for very sensitive skin but I found it delightful! It's perfumy/fruity maybe, I am bad at describing scents. This formula is rich but light all in one. My skin is combo so I was worried it might be too thick for me but once my skin was cleansed it felt like a nice velvety layer that had been added to my skin. This made my skin subtle,hydrated and soft! Very very nice! It absorbed into my skin and the next day I could tell how well this worked since I didn't have any dry patches.
I personally would recommend this and found it very nice, the size of the jar as well is pretty fair for the price since you are paying for a good product!

Where to even start?! Getting to review the Clarisonic Mia 2 from Chick Advisor is pretty damn rad!
Most of us have all probably watched the reviews over the years on Clarisonic and have always wanted one but couldn't afford it or just were unsure if it was just a fad item.Well here is my story...
First things first, the colour- LOVE! One of my fav colours so I was stoked it wasn't white. Included is the handy charger which is nice since it is the magnet type,just more modern to me and reminded me of my macbook cord. It comes with a cleanser,travel case and the sensitive brush head which I wouldn't have been more thankful for. The size is really great its compact but at the same time I wouldn't want it any larger then it is.
I always thought I had a good skin care routine since my skin wasn't overly awful, not amazing either but just average which was okay I guess. I used the Olay pro x brush for the past 2 years..so I thought with that I wouldn't go through this skin purging phase that I hear some people talk about since it's a similar idea...clearly not as good by ay means. The Mia 2 has a unique system since the middle bristles osculate which I didn't know that, I always thought it was vibrating but they aren't, and no spinning either like the Olay pro x.
Okay so I have been using this a few times a week since I don't wear much makeup but if I was using this to remove bb cream or concealer man did it ever get everything off and you saw that on the brush head! Your skin feels super clean after and it feels great. I didn't break out from it the first week but the second week now I am! I have spots in places I never had breakouts before so that kind of sucks, I am hoping I am just having a weird week or something.I am going to have to do more research and see what is going on and what I can do about that.
The Mia 2 has multiple brush heads you can purchase but I think I would keep with the sensitive brush head since I was slightly bothered by the harshness the first time I used it, that went away within a couple uses it feels fine now but I wouldn't want anything more intense.
I feel like there is so much to say about this amazing little gadget that I could blab on for a while, it does have 2 speeds which is nice and the T-timer is so nice! Once you turn it on it goes for 60 seconds, thats all you need. 20 seconds on forehead,20 on chin&nose;and 10 on each cheek.
With a big purchase on a facial brush at $180 there is a 2 year warranty so that's kind of a relief!
With that being said I would absolutely recommend this product and am happy to continue using it for as long as I need to wash my face, which will be for a long time LOL.

I was pleased to have the chance to review GOSH Defining Brow Gel from ChickAdvisor but also sad that the colour was too light for me, boo.
SO I needed to improvise. I filled in my brows with a dark shadow, then used the gel over top to keep them in place, worked perfect! I always hear people raving about anistasia's brow gel ( which I have tried and no disrespect but it wasn't for me, crusty brows no thanks) GOSH's product had a different effect for me, Kept my brows in place with some colour ( would be great for light brows) but no stiffness.
I liked the packaging (I'm big for that) I do believe this product woks well and I would recommend it to anyone who needs a little brow love!
