I tried the color #66 Loving Hue from the Essie TLC collection, which is a shimmery light pink. It gives out a natural finish with a hint of shimmer which I like. It gives out a vibe of "my nails but better" which is very work environment friendly. The coating dries out fairly fast but I can't stand the scent of it =( I also wish there were higher concentration of collagen and camellia in the product, which was advertised in their ads.
This nail polish collection is definitely better innovation that the average mass nail polishes due to its added collagen and camellia extracts from what I understand. I still would definitely recommend to non pregnant nail lovers to use this shade if you like a natural shimmer finish and afforable nail products.
This is my first non green nail polish so please keep that in mind. I also received this product for free from the brand and ChickAdvisor in exchange of my honest opinion.

Just like the shampoo, this conditioner does not feel like a drugstore product because of its amazing short ingredient list and its luxurious smell. A little goes a long way but I wish the packaging had a pump to squeeze the product out with ease. Otherwise, my hair feels soft and supple while being very hydrated after using both its shampoo and the conditioner together. I don't even need to add a hair mask or oil after using them.
I would definitely recommend this product for those who suffer dry hair/scalp like me because of its price, effectiveness and its availability to the masses. You can find the brand relatively easy via Walmart and even groceries stores like Loblaws/Maxi for example.

This shampoo feels luxurious the second you open the bottle. The ingredient list is pretty short too which is always a plus in my books. Its ey ingredients would be organic coconut oil and ethically-sourced Australian Sandalwood. It smells like you took a trip to the tropical island every time you use this product. I didn't realize you need to lightly squeeze the shampoo from roots to ends prior rinsing your hair when I first tried it so definitely do that please. My hair feels so soft and hydrated after using this in conjunction of the conditioner that I don't even need to add oil to nourish my hair. I would definitely recommend to those who suffer dry hair/scalp like me since it has quality ingredients, gentle to the planet and very affordable to the masses!
The only downside of this for me is the packaging. I wish the shampoo contained a pump like it did for the body wash to squeeze the product out more at ease. Please make a pump for your hair products in the future, Love Beauty and Planet!

This light 100% mineral sunscreen moisturizer smells a bit herbal due to chamomiles that have soothing and healing properties. Its texture is a thick white cream but after blending it into your skin, the white cast fades away. I currently don't have any skin redness but it claims to soothe redness as well.
So far, it's not my favorite sunscreen in my books but my skin doesn't hate it either. I love the fact that it's a moisturizer and a sunscreen in one though. It is no brainer that it would be perfect for lazy days or even travel now that spring and summer are coming to town.
I will update if I change my mind!

This is an unscented and soap-free gel cleanser that foams without stripping your skin's moisture. Key ingredients are nourishing oats and chamomiles but they are listed at the bottom... A little goes a long way from this big tube of 141g/5oz hence great value for your buck (even more on sale!).
So far, I think it's a great cleanser for those who have very sensitive skin especially those who can't handle scented products. I would recommend this as a morning cleanser or as a second cleanser at night. It claims to remove dirt, oil, pollutants and makeup but I don't think it removes waterproof makeup well. Personally, I'm not impressed so far but perhaps light makeup such as tinted moisturizer or tinted lip balm might work better in my opinion. My skin does not love or hate it but I can see how others might hence I would still recommend it.

I never been so excited to try a body wash for a very long time because Love Beauty and Planet is 100% vegan with no parabens, no silicones, no sulfates and no animal testing. Plus, this product contains organic and natural ingredients such as organic coconut oil. After a week of using this, I did not get any skin rashes or redness, which I usually do from most drugstore body washes. I did not even need an extra layer of lotion to keep my skin moisturized all day and night long due to its African shea butter. I believe this would be a good body wash all year long but especially during Canadian harsh winters. I wish I discovered this last winter!!!
For a body wash that is under $10 (and currently on sale now in Walmart), this product does not feel like a drugstore body wash. It feels like a mid end to luxury one because it does not strip your skin's moisture and its scent makes you travel to a tropical country everytime you shower, which I enjoy very much! Plus, the bottle is 100% recyclable, hence, good for the planet as well.
FYI, this body wash does not lather bubbles so if you like such body wash, this might not be for you.

One of my friends always put a sleeping mask during the day to keep her skin hydrated under makeup. When Aveeno released this pre-tox mask, it was a no brainer for me wanting to try this product. It contains extracts of blackberry leaf, green tea, moringa seed along with Vitamin E and stabilized Vitamin C. It has a nice light herbal scent and after trying it for about two weeks, I do feel it did improve my skin's texture under my tinted sunscreen and makeup. I don't think it can replace a primer but my skin did stay hydrated throughout the day (no dry flakes). I would actually recommend this to people especially those with sensitive or dry skin. I do not have oily skin so I can't speak for those with that skin type.
I would consider to buy this kind of mask once I finish this bottle because I live in a city with a very dry winter environment. I believe it would be perfect for that type of weather and the price is still in the affordable range (even more if it's on sale).
Also, the Canadian label does not state that this contains SPF30 but I believe it actually does. I even checked the labels and the ingredients in the American package. If I am wrong, please let me know Aveeno.

For those who are overwhelmed by the countless steps of beauty routines, herBEAU got your back! This Japanese cream is a toner, an essence and cream all in one jar! Apparently, a clinic first created this cream for their post surgery clients and it began to gain momentum rapidly in Japan. The texture is very light and easily absorbed to the skin. The scent is very herbal and nothing into your face. I highly recommend this cream to lazy people who want a full routine without the many steps!
