I got this product for free with ChickAdvisor. This product had some serious pro's and con's. I waited to write my review until I had used it several days in a row to make sure this was an accurate reflection.
Pro's- the design of the product was really great. It restricts how much comes out at a time so your brush has perfect coverage each time.
-It didn't have a horrible smell which i find most mineral products have.
-the powder had a great silky feeling during application
-it was long lasting and felt very lightweight all day
Con's
This product had two major let downs which really effected my scoring on the product.
1. This would not be a product I would EVER purchase online if I was not able to see testers in advance. I followed the recommendations for skin colouring from their website yet found the product I received was too dark and required quite a bit of work so that I didn't look like an oompaloompa (orange). I'm confident it will work better in the summer with a tan.
2. During application I had to be very careful how I applied the product. This would not be a product I would recommend for someone who is new to powder foundation. I found it required a lot of work to blend so that there were not big dark spots on my face.

This was a pretty good product. I would use this product for every day use but I don't think it would be a go-to product if I really needed my makeup to be perfect all day. If I had an important all day or long evening event this probably would not be my first choice as it isn't as effective as other long lasting products I've used in the past. It went on smooth and felt light on my skin. -

This is a great topcoat to use with Vinylux line! I will definitely be using it again and replacing once mine is gone! (#gotitfree) It was so easy to use and really did its job! The polish lasted 5 days with very few flaws and was able to keep the polish on for a full 7 before removing! I would very much recommend this product! -

I have recently tried both the CND Creative play and the Vinylux (#gotitfree) and let me tell you there is NO comparison! Vinylux is such a great product and one I will be investing in more of! The colour was a bit darker than I usually would buy but it was such a great quality (and looks great as we get closer to the holiday season!). As a mom on mat leave with two small children, I am CONSTANTLY washing my hands. I rarely take the time to paint my fingernails as most products chip and fade too quickly to make it worth my time. This product boasts to be a weekly polish, and they are not too far off! I applied my polish on Tuesday morning and it was still in near perfect condition on Saturday. I was able to wear it a few more days before it got too chipped to look good any longer. My favourite thing about this polish is that it was so quick and easy to apply and it dried VERY quickly! All in all I was very impressed! -

I received the Top Coat, lacquer and base coat from chick advisor. I applied all three to my nail and found the top coat took a very long time to harden and dry. I also found that despite applying a top coat, the polish chipped very easy (same day). When looking at a top coat I am expecting something a bit more long lasting. It was a lengthy process to do, then chipped shortly after application! -

I got this product free with Chick Advisor with the colour and topcoat. It applied easily and dried quickly. I do not find it assisted in making the nail lacquer last longer or adhere longer to my nail. It lasted significantly longer on toenails vs finger nails. -

I got the Creative Play CND Base, Colour and Top coat for free with Chick Advisor. I am a mom with two young babes so when I take the time to paint my nails, I am looking for something that will last more than a day. For my fingernails this product proved a disappointment. I found to go through the three step process took a long time and still smudged even after waiting an hour for it to dry (followed directions given explicitly). I also found they chipped before the day ended. Since I have little ones I am constantly washing my hands, so I know this played a part.
HOWEVER, I will say that on my toenails this product has been great. I would recommend this product if you are looking for short (very short) term wear on your hands. It does last longer on toes. I would use it again if I had an evening event.

I have fallen absolutely in love with this product! I will be buying it for sure! It has such a nice scent that isn't overwhelming and is great if you work in a scent free environment! It is thick and moisturizing but doesn't take for ever to absorb! It was gentle on my skin and really softened and moisturized it. I was very surprised at how much I enjoyed this product because I've used Aveeno creams in the past and felt like I needed to reapply before the end of the day. This was a great product to have tried!

I am currently pregnant and have found my skin extra sensitive to body washes and creams but I really found this a great product that was very gentle on my skin! It has a very light natural scent to it. I typically prefer a creamer lotion and this one is closer to a gel. That would be my only complaint. It leaves your skin moisturized and soft. #gotitfree -

I was so excited to receive this product in the mail! I am always looking to make my morning routine faster and having a moisturizing cream WITH a primer in it seemed like a fabulous solution. The very first day I must admit I loved the feeling of it going on, its quick to try finish but I found that I was feeling dry as if I hadn't applied any face cream at all that morning. This product is geared towards dry skin but I didn't find it met my needs using it exclusively. Once I adjusted my routine to add my regular moisturizer in the evenings and after the shower, it made this product better suited to my needs.
For use as an all over primer, I did find it made makeup application look smoother but I didn't find it made it last much longer. I also still needed an eye primer and lip primer if I wanted a lasting look.
This product is reasonably priced and I could see it being something that I had in stock but might not be an everyday product.
