I never purchase brow setters as I don't find my brows to be unruly naturally. I was excited to receive this product though because NYX is a great brand I wanted to see what the hype was all about with cannabis seed oil.
The brush is very small, and not a lot of product comes out. I've seen some reviews that say that's an issue, but I personally think it's okay. You don't want a lot of product to come out at once because then your brows will be just covered in the product and brushing it out will only make it worse.
As much as the product seems to be good, I don't personally need it or see myself purchasing it. Also not sure why this type of product needs the addition of cannabis seed oil..

After using Aveeno over the years, I know their quality and effectiveness is unlike any other. I was excited to see that I was receiving this face mask complimentary from Chickadvisor.
I applied the mask and left it on for about 10 minutes. It didn't dry super hard like clay masks, and actually felt quite refreshing to have on. It wasn't the easiest to remove (it helped to use a wash cloth), but nothing that I haven't faced before.
I will definitely keep using this and recommend it to others!

Breyers delights Caramel Brownie

When I first saw this low calorie ice cream in the Caramel Brownie flavour, I had to get it! It was a bit tricky to find in stores (I had to go to 4 different stores to find it), and the price was a bit shocking for the size you get ($7.99 for 500mL). I was expecting this ice cream to be vanilla, with caramel swirls and brownie pieces, but the ice cream itself is where the caramel flavour is. The caramel flavour almost reminds me of coffee, but good nonetheless. The brownie chunks were my favourite part.
I often find myself having upset stomachs after eating dairy, and for some reason I assumed this low calorie ice-cream might be differently made, especially since the texture reminded me more of a gelato or sherbert.
I don't think I'd buy this product unless it was on sale and I was craving ice cream.
I received this product for free in exchange for my honest opinion.

After trying Aveeno's new peel off mask, I was skeptical about using this one. I'm happy to report this mask was easier to work with, and actually made a difference in my skin after using. It hurt a bit to peel off, but I felt like it really grabbed onto the dirt in my pores.

I received John Freida's Go Blonder Lemon Miracle Masque complimentary from ChickAdvisor. I've always has blonde hair, and I dye it and have heat damage constantly. I was looking forward to this hair mask to bring some moisture back into my hair and to have a richer blonde tone. I didn't notice any difference in my hair unfortunately.
I would not spend $12.99 on this! Even if it worked, I needed to use half the tube (my hair is past my shoulders).. I would only get 2-3 uses out of this. Not worth the price.

I love nothing more than to take off my makeup at the end of a night and give myself a mini facial. I was so happy to see the Aveeno Positively Radiant MAXGLOW Peel Off Mask included in my package from ChickAdvisor (complimentary). There’s something about peel off masks that are so satisfying.. maybe it’s the feeling of removing dead skin and dirt, or it could bring me back to my childhood when you’d put white glue on your hand, let it dry, then peel it off haha. Either way, I will never get bored of using peel off masks. This Peel Off Mask is a soap-free, non-rinse exfoliator infused with alpha hydroxy acids, soy and kiwi complex that lift away dull, tired skin.
The directions say to apply a generous layer and let it dry for 15-20 minutes. I applied it with a brush and it went on super thick and tricky to apply. While it was drying, it almost “melted” down my face in some spots and I was skeptical about it drying quickly. Well, it took 30+ minutes to finally dry, but was surprisingly easy to peel off. I didn’t notice any difference in my skin again, other than it turning red from being irritated. I wouldn’t repurchase this peel-off mask, or recommend it.

I received Aveeno Positively Radiant MAXGLOW No-Mess Sleep Mask complimentary from ChickAdvisor! This mask helps replenish moisture and even skin’s tone and texture, much like the Infusion Drops are said to do. With their no-mess paddle applicator, it helps your hands stay clean while applying. I usually apply my face masks with a brush, so I don’t worry about my fingers getting dirty, but this built-in applicator only meant less cleanup for me!
I think of all the products in this collection, this one is my most mixed review. The paddle does what it’s supposed to, but it just doesn’t work well with me. It’s hard to get an even layer on your face, and super tricky to use around the grooves of my face (nose, chin, around eyes). I ended up going around my face with my fingers to spread it evenly. It dried within 20 minutes and wasn’t noticeable any longer. The other problem I faced was that I ended up scratching my nose about 30 minutes later and noticed the sleep mask was rubbed off in the process. I thought perhaps because it was still “fresh” that it was doing this, but in the morning my face looked like I had dandruff all over it! It even got in my hair line and wasn’t super easy to wash off – I had to use a face cloth to make sure I got it all off. Now, the good news.. my skin actually looks and feels SO moisturized. It’s been about 4 hours since I woke up and it still looks great, even with makeup over it. Is the hassle worth the end result?
