I’ve struggled with finding a good top coat in the past. They either don’t apply nicely (because the product is way too thick) or they don’t actually do what they’re suppose to (protect the colour underneath). This wasn’t the case with CND Vinylux Week Long Wear Top Coat. After applying the CND Vinylux nail polish, I put on only 1 coat of the CND Vinylux Top Coat. It went on beautifully! The applicator brush made it easy & the product itself isn’t thick or difficult to apply. It dried quickly and I was left with a nice shiny coat over my beautifully pigmented colour. I’m now just about on week three, and neither the top coat or the colour has chipped or flaked. Aside from nail growth, my nails look just as great as the first day of application. I’m excited to implement Vinylux into my nail routine - these two products are incredible. -

It’s been a long time since I’ve been able to have beautiful nails that last! I’m pretty rough with my hands, so my polish is constantly chipping or flaking off. I applied the CND Vinylux at the beginning of the week & I was impressed at how quickly it dried. After week 1, I was happy to see that it hadn’t chipped or cracked at all. Now I’m almost at week 3 and (aside from nail growth), it looks just as fabulous as when I first applied it. I received “Midnight Swim” which is a beautiful deep shimmer blue. The pigment looks better on my nails then it does in the bottle.
I would definitely recommend CND Vinylux - and I look forward to purchasing the other colours in the line!!

My husband & I use protein shakes (him: before & after work outs, Me: in the morning for meal replacement). We've often found ourselves trying new products, only to be disappointed that they are much of the same: too much sugar, not enough protein, too many calories, etc... It's been a struggle to find a protein shake or powder that tastes good (so we actually want to drink it) & isn't overloaded with empty calories.
We were lucky to get both the chocolate & vanilla protein shakes to try. Neither one of us are vanilla lovers, but we found these to be a nice flavor - they didnt have that processed vanilla taste - they taste like genuine vanilla. We were also both really impressed to see that, unlike many brands we've tried, BOTH the Premier vanilla & chocolate shakes had the same amount of calories (160), fat (3g), sugar (1g) & a multitude of vitamins & minerals. Plus each 325ml serving comes with a whopping 30g of protein (that's huge), and it fits both his work out needs & my breakfast replacement needs.
We're excited to implement these new shakes into our daily routines & will definitely be recommending to our friends & family.

We're a family that purchases protein drinks regularly. My husband uses them before & after his workouts & I use them as meal replacements (mainly for breakfast). In the past we've found it incredibly difficult to find a great tasting protein shake that didn't come with loads of sugar (or sugar substitute) &/or fat - which with so many different brands on the market is really frustrating!
We were both really excited to give Premier a try (we hadn't seen or heard of it before). The first thing we did was look at the calorie, fat, sugar & protein amounts. We were thrilled to see that for one portion there was only 160 cals, 3g of fat, 1g of sugar & a whopping 30g of protein!! This is exactly what we were looking for. A filling breakfast shake for me in the morning that would give me the vitamins/minerals, protein & fullness of a well rounded breakfast AND a high protein, low sugar shake that would help repair his body before/after a workout. We had a lot of hope.....
And we weren't let down! The Chocolate Premier Shake tastes AMAZING! It's smooth, creamy & doesn't have the nasty after taste that we've found with so many other shakes & powders (that we found ourselves choking back because we knew we should). This is genuinely a great tasting product that we will definitely be buying regularly & recommending to our friends!

I've had a lot of lotions in my time; some worked, some didn't... NONE compared to the Nivea Q10 Firming Body Lotion! I used it at night before I went to bed for 3 weeks straight (I'll never go back), my skin is softer, smoother & even firmer then ever!!! This wasn't a minor difference, it was huge! The biggest changes I can see & feel are on my arms, neck & thighs. A little goes a long way & I could slip into bed immediately without leaving marks on my sheets. No grease. No residue!
This is quite honestly my new go to body lotion; it does all the moisturizing & smoothing with the added benefit of firming!

As someone who doesn't work much with my hands or suffer dry hands, I was wrong! My hands have never looked or felt better!! I even made husband (who is military, constantly working with his hands & suffers from extremely dry, cracked fingers) use it daily, and the difference was remarkable. From both our experiences, the Nivea Q10 anti-age hand cream was never greasy & went on soft. We both have terrific looking, soft, smoother skin... for me (and my hands) that was fantastic... for him, it's made a world of difference! He no longer uses the greasy (and lets face it, not really effective) brand he was using. Now his hands are completely soft - they haven't been like this in years (Nivea's Anti Aging Hand Cream also has a lovely - yet gender neutral scent, so he doesn't smell girly).
Hands down (pun intended, lol), we'll continue to use this product.

I will not only purchase this product again for ME, but I'll be purchasing it for all of my friends as stocking stuffers! I'd never used an oil before, but I was AMAZED at the amount of moisture my skin retained from Nivea's Q10 Body Oil! I used this product every day for 3 weeks (in the morning) and it does EXACTLY what it says; my skin is more even (especially over the areas where I have stretch marks - which have faded), and the skin on my stomach, thighs & arms are noticeably softer & firmer!!
Forget the rest, Nivea's Q10 Firming Body Oil is what your body needs! A MUST HAVE in every beauty regiment.

LOVE LOVE LOVE THIS PRODUCT!!!
I have slight red scarring between my eyebrows that you can always see a little even after I apply concealer & foundation. I used the green corrector & the scarring was GONE! Even my husband (who obviously knows where it is) couldn't see it. I was blown away! I also really liked the concealer. I used it under my eyes & on top of a few permanent blemishes & it worked beautifully. I did sample the highlighter but I preferred the Strobing Highlighter from Maybelline that I was also able to try.
All the products in this kit went on smoothly, blended well, & worked great! I love that it's 6 products in 1 & small enough to fit in your purse (not that touch ups were needed, I've worn it ALL day without having to add more).
I was more then happy with the way the products in this kit went on, stayed on & actually worked as well as the high end products I have that cost 3 times as much.
More then the fact that it's a great price, this is a fabulous product that everyone should have on hand.

I was excited to try Maybelline's New York "The Colossal Big Shot" mascara. It came in black & looked promising. It went on well (no clumps) & stayed on all night (I even slept in it to see how it would hold up, and it did pretty). It's a great mascara for every day wear (for work or day events), it didn't give me the big dramatic lashes I was hoping for (the kind you'd wear with a smoky eye on a night out). The fact that it doesn't clump or flake off is a great, I just wish it gave more volume &/or length.
If you're not looking for a product that's going to give you dramatic lashes, this is a great mascara for your daytime make up bag =D

It's been a LONG time since I've tried Maybelline products - probably 10 years - and they've come a LONG WAY! The Maybelline New York Fit Me Matte & Poreless Foundation was an instant hit. I went on nicely, it didn't smell (as some foundations do), it was full coverage without feeling thick AND the colour was PERFECT!
The first night I wore it was our "date night", we were out for 5 hours (dinner & a movie) and I looked as flawless when I came home as I did when I left. I was a little worried about break outs (sometimes my skin can be fussy), but I've had none since I started using this product 2 weeks ago!
I can't express enough just how impressed I am with this product. The best part is that it's far less expensive then my usual brand AND required less product on my beauty sponge for full application!
I would definitely recommend!
