McCain spicy wedges are a staple in my home. Being that they are wedges, the edges get nice and crispy as they bake, yet the middle is still soft. I am a huge wimp when it comes to spicy foods, but these fries I can eat without any trouble. I like to think of them as more savoury than spicy.
The seasoned wedges require no tweaks or additions. Add a side of ketchup and you are set! I have experimented with my wedges and found that they work great as the base for poutine.
Not only does the product taste great, but McCain products regularly go on sale which makes it economical as well! I appreciate the fact that McCain has given me a quality product that fits my budget, keeps health in mind, and can be served to a hungry family of six in no time flat!

As a member of the Chick Advisor Review Club, I was thrilled when I found out that I had been chosen for the Vichy Idealia Life Serum. I have not been a regular user of night creams/serums before, but have recently noticed some dry, tired looking areas on my face. I was more than happy to try out such a high quality product.
The scent of the product is quite nice. It is a light scent which is great for sensitive skin people like myself. I am also prone to migraines and strong scents can trigger headaches. This product did not trigger a headache the entire time that I was trying it.
The product goes on nice and easily, even for a beginner like myself. After a week of using the serum and night cream regularly, I found that the "dry, tired" areas on my face were no longer noticeable. My skin felt much softer to the touch.
Although I found the night routine to be effective ion clearing up dry areas and making my skin feel softer, I find that the price of this product line to be quite high. I can't financially see myself continuing with this product line as I am a single mom. That being said, I will continue to use night creams to maintain the improvements that Vichy has given me.
Another high quality product from a high quality producer.

I was really excited when I was chosen for this review product. I have never used a night cream on my face before. Recently, I have noticed that my skin has become quite dry and tired looking in certain areas.
I love the light feeling of the cream and appreciated the fact that it had a light scent. As a long time sufferer of migraines, strong scents often trigger headaches. I also have very sensitive skin and am prone to breakouts with different products. This was not the case with the Vichy Idealia Skin Sleep. After a week of use, I noticed that my skin felt softer to the touch and that I no longer had dry patches on my skin.
This is a product that I will continue to use as it follows through on it's promises. My only negative comment is that it is a fairly pricey cream in my opinion.

I don't tend to use a lot of eyeshadow on a regular basis but when ChickAdvisor asked me to review the GOSH Forever Eye Shadow Stick....I was ready for the adventure!
I haven't seen or tried an eyeshadow stick since my highschool days when baby blue was in! Preparing for the same smearing, breaking, mess, I was pleasantly surprised with the Forever Eye Shadow Stick. Using the Prime n' Set powder first, the eyeshadow easily was applied in a smooth, straight line. Easy application with a small amount providing just the right coverage.
I love the fact that as a "stick" you are able to adjust the width of line of eyeshadow to eyelids. I tried various applications from full eyelid coverage to a simple highlight of colour.
I would be interested in trying some other shades, although I don't think I am ready to attempt the baby blue highschool reunion!
For a night out or a special occaision, GOSH has got you covered

I was excited when ChickAdvisor asked me to review the GOSH Prime n' Set Powder as it is a product I have never used before. I was up for the adventure!
As a long time sufferer of a slightly shiny face, I am always trying different products to minimize the shine and that lasts longer than an hour.
This product delivers! The smooth, easy application of powder to my face, including eyelids, provided a quality, matte base for makeup application. All makeup stayed firmly in place and I did not notice the "shiny" look to my cheeks and chin area that I am constantly concious of.
This is a product I look forward to using in my shine free future!

I wear minimal makeup, but one of my "can't-live-withouts" is mascara. I am alwasy on the lookout for a quality product that lasts all day.
GOSH Crazy Volume Mascara gives you exactly that....crazy volume! I have never seen my eyelashes that long! Smooth, easy application that lasted the entire day.
I have a tendency to sweat and find that most mascaras start to run and give me slightly black eyes. I was thrilled to find that this product stayed exactly where I wanted without smudges or smears.
Definitely something I will rely on in the future!

What an interesting product to review!
I was somewhat hesitant at first as I am more of a neutrals kind of girl. I was intrigued by the packaging though and ready for adventure! GOSH lip lacquer provides a smooth, easy application with great coverage. Within seconds, my lips were vibrant, full, and "pout" worthy.
This would be a great item for a night out on the town with friends. I would definitely consider purchasing this product in the future but would look for slightly subdued tones.

As a member of the ChickAdvisor Review Panel, I was lucky enough to be selected to review the Dove Go Sleeveless Anti-Perspirant
Initially I was impressed by the light, fresh scent. Some deoderants come with very strong, somewhat abrasive scents. This one however, was nothing like that.
Dove has produced many high quality products (in my opinion) and this one is no different. The Go Sleeveless Anti Perspirant went on nice and smoothly....leaving no clumps or white marks behind. I would catch slight hints of the scent as the morning progressed, a great reminder that Dove had me covered! I had no need to re-apply deoderant throughout the day and was very satisfied with the quality and effectiveness. I tested the deoderant through my small town heat wave with amazing success (and dry armpits!)
Definitely a product that I will use again, however I will wait for a sale before purchasing. $3.99 is an average price, but a little higher than I want to pay on a regular basis.
Another quality product from a reliable company!
