I received this product and used it for a couple of weeks, finding it very effective. I love the tingling feeling that happens when you apply it and the fact that it has SPF 15 in it makes the product that much more enjoyable for me. I'm young(ish) and I thought that using wrinkle cream would be ineffective because of my age, but after talking with my Mom about it, she told me that she's been applying wrinkle cream since the age of 20 because it makes your skin softer with age. After hearing this advice, I will continue to use Marcelle Essentials Wrinkles Day Cream.
Thanks to the chick advisor team for sending me the product :)

I'm a sucker for a good advertisement! I saw these hilarious commercials on TV and I decided to switch from my regular tampon buying and try Kotex new "click tampons" and I was pleasantly surprised. In the past I've used the OB small compact tampons and hated them, so I thought these might be similar, but after reading the instructions I realized that after clicking open the tampon, you'll get a full length tampon and works very effectively.
Maybe we're all a little girly for being attracted to neon vibrant colors, but it was kind of fun deciding if I was in a pink or blue mood while picking out a tampon. The price was a little steep at Shoppers ($6.99) but I'd continue to purchase this product because I found them effective and a fun twist on my other brand!

Friday's are busy days in nail salons and this past Friday was no exception. My sister -in-law and I thought we'd both pop into Tracy Nails and Spa located on 2464 Weston Road (around Dixon and Royal York) after we saw the sign on their window indicating that a manicure and pedicure was $29.00 We showed up at about 5:00 and they were busy, but happy to fit us in and made sure that we got to sit together.
We got our toes done first and we sat in the most comfortable massage chairs I've ever been in! After our feet were done, we were both seated together to get our nails done. I've never had such a nice job done on both my feet and hands. The girls working were kind, funny and made sure we both enjoyed our experience.
The prices are AMAZING. I paid $32 in total for a manicure and a pedicure. If I had chosen just to do the manicure, it only would have been $10! To get your eyebrows done, it only cost $5! These prices are a steal in my opinion, especially if you're use to paying Toronto prices for nail and spa services.
Be sure to bring either cash or have debit, because they don't accept credit card. You should also be sure to visit this nail spa, because you'll be pleasantly surprised and feel like you got every bang for your buck!

On the outside of my tube of Carmex are the words, 'moisturizing lip balm' and they aren't lying. It's the nicest lip balm I've used I like a lip balm that moisturizes but leaves a tingling feeling as well. That's exactly what this balm does and the smell is quite refreshing as well.
If you have chapped lips, this is going to fix them in an instant. I bought this product in Las Vegas when my lips got chapped and burned from the sun. Within a day my lips were back to normal and I give full kudos to the Carmex product.
It also gives your lips a natural shine and makes them look glossy without really having to apply goopy gloss. I highly recommend this product!!!

Many thanks to the Chick Advisor team, who sent me this costly product to review. Unfortunately, I'm giving it a "fugheddaboutit!" rating because if I went to a Shoppers to buy this product for $79.00, I wouldn't be happy with so-so results.
I applied it for all 4 weeks, right before bed and in the morning to my back thighs and while you could notice some results, they weren't outstanding. It seemed to look a little tighter, but there were still definate signs of cellulite, so it was a problem fixer.
The product had a citrus smell which I really enjoyed and after application seemed to feel like it was tightening, making my skin feel a little like rubber. It didn't cause me to itch or break out into a rash, so that's a definate plus.
I think this product might work for people with very minimal cellulite, but where I have a little more, I found it not to be 100% effective.

Fruit and Passions, "Blue" Body Splash is a fabulous product! F-A-B-U-L-O-U-S! A while back I bought my friend a gift set from Fruit and Passions simply called, "Pink", which included Body Splash, Bathroom spray (if I remember correctly) and shower gel. She loved it so much, she called me weeks later to say how great the smell is and that hours later she could still smell a hint of "Pink".
She really hyped it up, so I went back into Fruit and Passions (who hands down have some of the nicest staff members) and tried all the different colored scents. They have "Pink", "Purple" and "Blue". I immediately fell in love with the Blue Body Splash, because it literally smells like summer. That's how they pitch it to their customers, but they aren't lying! If summer could be bottled, this is exactly what it would smell like. It sprays on your skin and comes out in droplets of white and you just have to rub it around. I usually put it on my arms and neck and you will smell like summer all day long... I promise!
**Fun tip about Fruit and Passions** When you purchase something at their store, they typically give you samples of other products their promoting. It's a great technique to get their customers (you and I) to try different products we might not try otherwise!

I nominate this product to be the #1 product for those prone to dry skin (thanks winter). Around this season, you should be moisturizing like crazy, but if you're able to splurge and spend $20 on Body Shop's Body Scrub, I highly recommend it!
It's amazing to use in the shower after you've done all done your regular shower duties and you want to exfoliate. I do it once every week and use it for my elbows, arms, feet, legs, basically the body parts most prone to dry skin.
They also come in a variety of great smells, such as cherry, grapefruit, shea butter and if you're a regular Body Shop customer you know that the smell lingers after the shower, making you smell amazing!

As always, thank you to the Chick Advisor team who was kind enough to send two pallets of Maybelline's new eyeshadow collection named, "EyeStudio". I received "Pink Persuasion" and "Mad for Mauve" and I loved both sets.
I received them early last week and I've been wearing them both in different color combinations practically everyday for the last week. I just can't get enough.
Both sets have sparkly tones in each color, making it look like you've applied a creme eyeshadow, which was my #1 favorite thing about the product. I went out on Friday night and was going for a romantic look... purple dress, tights... so I wanted to make sure that my eyes popped to complete the look. I chose to use the "Mad for Mauve" color pallet and it was definately the right choice. It acheived a rich tone with a touch of sparkle.
I was so eager to show off my look, I kept showing all my friends who confirmed that it did look really nice. I probably never would have purchased this particular product because of the colors (I didn't think they would look right) and that's why I'm so glad I got a chance to try it out thanks to Chick Advisor. I'll definately be purchasing other color pallets in the "EyeStudio" collection! :)

Two shocking qualities before we start:
1. I bought this at the Dollar Store
2. I'm giving it "You Betcha" review
Typically, you wouldn't see #1 and #2 go hand and hand but that's not the case when it comes to "Aquafina's Hydrating Lip Oil" because I'm in love with this product. If you have dry lips in the winter then this is the product for you. It gives your lips the moisture you need instantly.
As soon as the oil hits your lips you're going to feel a tingling sensation that lets you know it's working effectively. It also smells great! It gives a great shine to your lips and gives you that glossy look. I sometimes find it helpful to jazz up a lip color with an oil shine.
So go to your local dollar store and splurge a whole $1 on this product, I promise you won't be disappointed.

TRESemmé® TRES Two Extra Hold Hair Spray

I've mentioned before that I have hair that does pretty much whatever I want it to... I can go straight, curly, wavy, etc... but none of that would be possible if I didn't have the help of my trusty "Tresemme: Tres two extra hold hairspray" I like a hairspray that doesn't leave that crunchy prom hair look... you know what I'm talking about ;) You will NOT get that look when using Tresemme's hairspray and it'll keep your hair locked into place.This is the closest thing to buying salon hairspray in my opinion.
It's a bit pricey for hairspray, ranging from $6 - $9 but it will typically last for about 4 months (in my case anyway) and as I mentioned before, extremely effective. I keep a bottle at home and carry a travel one in my purse for any emergency moments! Two big thumbs up :)
