I received this product free to review from Maybelline New York and ChickAdvisor.
I loved everything about this product!! I seriously feel like I've been missing out and using the wrong foundation all my life!! And I'm not just saying that because I got it free. (Read my other brutally honest reviews. They aren't all positive ones!)
Where do I start from?
First of all the packaging is so cute. It's tiny enough to easily fit into your purse if you wanted to take it with you. But it also seems sturdy enough to roll around in the make up bag with all the other products!!
When you open the lid the applicator rests there. It's round like a make up pad but feels like a beauty blender. It even has a little ribbon across the back so you can slip your fingers underneath the ribbon and above the pad so that you can use the entire pad when applying the foundation.
Then that part flips open as well to reveal the foundation underneath. In the container it looks like a mousse. It's very light and airy but also very creamy.
The product went on smoothly and evenly. I have very large pores and find it challenging to hide them with make up. But this did the trick. I only needed to go over my face one time I did not need to go back a second time nor go back to make corrections or fill in any areas. Considering that I was sent this free the colour match was perfect, which I was concerned it wouldn't be when I was receiving something I hadn't picked out myself.
It did not feel heavy on my skin nor did I feel as if it was clogging my pores. Normally by the end of the day I can't wait to take my makeup off as my face feels heavy and dirty. However I actually forgot that I was wearing for make up that day because it was so light.
It came off easily with my make up removing wipes.
I'm not sure how much this costs because I got it free, but it doesn't matter I will buy this in the future.
Overall I give it five out of five for quality and effectiveness and value.

I received this product free to review from Maybelline New York and ChickAdvisor.
The product went on easily without flaking clumping or wearing off by the end of the day.
It came off easily enough with my make up remover.
It did give some volume but not as much as I would expect from a product called colossal big shot.
I generally choose a mascara that gives both volume and length. This one didn't really hold up compared to me regular preferred mascara. And for that reason alone I probably would not buy this in the future.
Overall I give it four out of five for quality and a three out of five for effectiveness and value. At $11.99 I feel that you can find a much better mascara.

I'm so happy with this product. I love the Polysporin line of products & we always have the antibiotic creams in our house for accidents & boo-boo's!
I use some sort of lip balm all the time. Especially at night before bed & when I'm at home or at my desk with no lipstick on. I flip around between various products such a Body Shop Lip Balms, Burt's Bees products, good old trusty Vaseline & then I found this! It really works. I did notice it was making my lips softer & smoother. I figured that it was just moisturizing them, but then I realized no - it was healing & repairing them!!! Then I ran out. No big deal because I have tons of other lip balms. But I actually ended up noticing a HUGE difference. My lips didn't feel as smooth & soft & through this harsh winter weather they even seem to sting some days. Better run out to the drug store for another pot of this stuff!

I received this as a free product through Chick Advisor to test & review. I LOVE it!! I paint my nails all the time & usually have them painted most days. The only problem is I hate having chipped polish & for the most part, not matter what I buy I have to paint my nails every 3 or 4 days. It's kind of a pain in the ass.
But this stuff changed all that! I received a light beige colour to test. I used two coats of it & then one coat of the top coat to seal it all in. My nails would last at least 5 days before beginning to wear at the tips, not chip!
Now the down side. It's crazy expensive. I couldn't find it at any stores here in Canada & so I bought it at Ulta Beauty in the US. It was $9.99 a bottle. I'm used to paying under $5 for a bottle of polish. I also bought a vibrant hot pink colour since it had worked so well. (I normally can't wear vibrant colours as they wear & chip off so fast.) However, this didn't last as long as the more nude shade did. So that was kind of dissapointing.
Will I buy it again? Yes.
Will it be my regular brand? - No because I can't afford it!

I cannot say enough great things about this product!!!
I received this as a freebie from Chick Advisor to test & review. I was super excited as always to receive a new product to try & since I wear makeup pretty much everyday it didn't take me long to test it out!
I hadn't used Micellar water before as I felt it was an expensive product & since it was "water" how effective could it really be??? Super effective!!
I highly recommend using a cotton pad as it suggests & not Kleenex as it is the consistency of water & will just absorb into the paper. The first time I used it, I poured waaaaay too much onto the cotton pad than I needed. A little goes a long way.
No scent.
Not oily.
No leftover residue or sticky feeling.
Normally I use cream based makeup removers but I will definitely buy this product again & will recommend it to others. (I've already talked about it to so many I should be getting commission from Nivea!! lol)

I received this from Chick Advisor as a freebie to test & review. I was really excited, as always, to try out a new product.
I don't use a primer on a daily basis but I would use this one as it's a moisturizer & primer in one. Therefore I would use it primarily as a moisturizer and the fact that it's a primer too would just be a bonus!
I normally use either Oil of Olay or Neutrogena as a moisturizer. I didn't feel that this Nivea one was as good as my regular moisturizers, but it was a close second.
However for those that use a primer on a daily basis, I felt that this would be an excellent option. Will i personally buy it again? Probably not because I am happier with the ones I'm already using, but would I recommend this to others? Yes as it is a good buy & a good product. 7/10 overall.

My first time using this product was a sample from my Chick Advisor Premium Membership Welcome Bag. It was freakin' awesome!
It doesn't have too much of a scent. A little goes a long way so even though I considered it to be kind of expensive, it was worth it. I have since bought a full size bottle & it was $34.00 but it's supposed to last 4 - 6 months.
It has these tiny little granules finer than sand particles & it's basically a face scrub of sorts. It leaves my face feeling clean & refreshed.
Well worth the price. Would definitely recommend & will buy again.

I have used this lip balm before. It's great. It goes on feeling very creamy. When it's on your lips, it feels like Cream & Vaseline had a love affair & this was their love child!! It's not sticky or greasy, it's not heavy. My husband can use it as well!
It's $1.99 for a tube.
Would recommend & buy again.

This product was sent to me as part of a package by Chick Advisor & Nivea for free to test review.
I have never used this deodorant before & just so you know what I am comparing this to, my regular brand is Lady Speed Stick or Dove Silk Dry Aerosol.
The product was listed as being $3.99 for 43 gms - Not a bad price at all
However, it was also listed as 48 hours protection, which it is not. I know we've had an extremely hot summer, but I don't know of any deodorant that's good for 48 hrs!
It has that great Nivea scent. It's a solid, not a gel.
And I did find that it was much more moisturizing than my regular deodorant.
All in all, on par with my regular deodorant, Lady Speed Stick, but yet not as effective as the Dove Aerosol.
Would I buy it again? Maybe. If it was on sale or if I didn't get my regular brand. But I'm not sure if I would make the permanent switch from my regular brand.

This is product that I received as part of a package from Nivea & Chick Advisor. I've been using Nivea Creme since I was a child. This is a great "go-to" product.
It's a thick cream & is heavier on your skin. However, it goes in nicely & rubs in well. Not too greasy & it has a heavenly scent!
Though I received a small travel size tin of this cream, they have listed the purchase prices as follows;
$13.49 for 400 mL
$10.99 for 250 mL
$7.99 for 150 mL
And to be honest, a tin will last you forever! It's an excellent product & I recommend it to anyone!
