I try to do my nails once a week before the start of the work week. I love weekly polishes as they din't chip as easy as regular polish and keeps me looking professional..=
The colour I received was great - a neutral blush pink that matched with pretty much everything I wear. It dried very quickly and the brush it great - wide enough to get my whole nail in one sweep.
I did do my typical, 2 coats of colour followed by the top coat. I sealed the edges of my nails too to ensure longer wear. this didn't help. Within 24 hours, I began to see small chips on my dominant hand. I resealed it with the top coat. by day 2 there were huge chips in a few of my nail. Needless to say I removed it before a full 3 days. definitely did not last a week as advertised.

I absolutely loved how much protein is in this protein shake - definitely much higher that others on the market. As I usually make my own smoothies, this is much easier to take it on the go after a workout.
It was very smooth and not powdery like I expected.
There was, however, a chemical-sweetener type of taste to this smoothie (only the vanilla - not the chocolate for some reason)

I absolutely loved this protein shake. I usually make my own shakes myself using protein powder and fruits and yogurt. But this is so much easier and less sugar! (theres a lot of sugar in the fruits I use).
This tasted great without a chalky / powdery taste like I expected.
because of the high protein and low sugar (great for after my workouts!) I would definitely purchase this and recommend this to my fiends.

this is amazing!
I received this from ChickAdvisor for a non biased review and I am so happy I did!
this gently removed all my makeup - including my stubborn mascara all in a few swipes. it is extremely gentle on my skin. I had a pimple that popped (yuck!) and this did not even make is sting - it was like nothing was there! definitely worth the price! best of all it didn't dry or react to my overly sensitive skin! I would definitely purchase this.

Essie gel couture nail polish

love this stuff!!
I've tried nearly every brand of nail polish and at home gel polishes and nothing stays on as well as this does! usually, nail polish lasts no more than 3 days (tops!) chip free. I'm on to day 5 and still going strong with this stuff!!
I've also tried the gel top coat with another brand of regular polish and its still lasting longer than anything else!
I've tried all the "cult favourite" Orly base coat and Seche top coats but this beats them all!!!
the only downside is that this is a little pricier than other polishes but its definitely worth the price if I can go through the entire work week with pretty nails. (actually saving more money than having to re-doing them throughout the week). Just wait for it to go on sale - definitely worth it!

it lasts a while but can feel stick when you first apply it.

I absolutely love this foundation.
it should be made clear that despite what some descriptions say, this foundation is quite sheer, so if you're looking for medium coverage or more, this is probably not the foundation for you.
There are a wide range of colours to choose from and even if you're off by a shade or so, its so sheer that you can likely get away with it. I no longer have to purchase a separate foundation for winter and summer! This gives me enough coverage to even out my skin and gives it a beautiful glow that I've never been able to achieve. I have no idea how they do it but I'm not complaining!
my new holy grail foundation.

my new favourite gel liner - or any liner for that matter
Its so creamy and stays on from early morning (before work) and lasts all day - especially good if I'm going out after work. I never have to reapply this.
I've had this pot for a few months now, it hasn't dried out and barely looks like I've made a dent in it even though I use this every single day!
great value for the money. the quality is just as great as those high-end gel liners but at a fraction of the price. definitely worth it!

I'm still not 100% in love with this product.
If sprayed too much, it can really make your hair feel dirty and sticky. I did this in the beginning and nearly forgot about this product. Then I read another review which suggested spraying it in your hair just before bed so I decided to give it a try. not bad. I didn't wake up with my hair feeling like it immediately needed to wash. It had a but more wave to it (my hair is naturally wavy/curly but they fall flat by day 2). I also added a bit of mousse to my hair and it looked good. just good. not outstanding, just good.
Not sure if I would buy this again. I'm pretty sure I can skip this step and just use the mousse in my hair.
it does smell nice though.

I received a sample of this through Sephora - used it once and fell in love!!!
My curly/wavy hair usually falls flat as of day 2 - but not with this. I still had body and bounce and my hair definitely did not look like "day 2 hair". it looked fabulous!! So fabulous, that I went out and bought the full sized product right away! I cannot imagine my hair without this product. Definitely recommend.
