Nivea 2 in 1 moisturizing primer for dry to sensitive skin

I am a huge fan of Nivea products so was thrilled to be selected by @chickadvisor for this campaign - so I fully disclose #igotitfree to try. With that being said, I always give rating based on my experience - most brands do not expect a glowing review if you don't like the product!


This Nivea primer is basically 2in1 - a moisturizer and a primer in one box. It comes in the same box as all of their creams. The primer goes on just as nicely as any of the creams, and it left my skin feeling hydrated and even. I am currently in the last few weeks of pregnancy and I have been feeling like crap because I cannot sleep, so I was curious if this primer would make a difference in my appearance once I use it and put my makeup on. Lo and behold, it did! The primer evened out my skin and it was much easier to put make up on and make my skin look less tired. I felt a lot more confident going to work these past few days when I was able to use the primer underneath my makeup.
The makeup lasted all day without any touch ups, and my skin never felt tight and dry like it usually does at the end of the day.
So for me, this product is something I will definitely buy once I run out.

Oikos Super Grains

What does the product taste like? What is the texture like?
This Oikos yogurt is super thick and yummy. The taste is not too sweet, and the texture is not as smooth as yogurts without grains. In one way I found this yogurt a little dry if that makes sense to say about a yogurt.

Would you buy it?
YES, it's convenient size for carrying for lunch at work or school! I love that this yogurt has both dairy and fibre, it's double the goodness for one's overall health. With hat being said the amount of fibre in this yogurt is not huge...but as most Canadians typically do not eat enough fibre in a day, every little bit counts.

Would you recommend it to people?
Yes, it's a yummy convenient snack!

What are your overall thoughts about the product from a healthy eating standpoint?
It's a decent product. It does contain sugar but not as much as some of the yogurts targeted at kids, so I would feel comfortable feeding my little one with it as well. I found it more filling than a regular yogurt so if you are worried about portion control, this one will help you staying on track!

How would you rate this product overall (out of 5 stars)?
I am giving 4 out of 5

Cellphone case

Finally a great case that fits my Samsung Note 2 (which is same size as Note 4)! I am absolutely stoked. I honestly could not be happier with this. I have been looking for a case that's not too bulky and that's somewhat lady-like for a while - I saw a couple but the price was ridiculous to spend on a phone that's more than a couple of years old....then I discovered this case! It's elegant, it's sturdy but not overly sturdy, it's not bulky, and it can double as a wallet as on the inside there are a few credit card/ID slots.



I am absolutely thrilled about such a great quality case for such a reasonable price!!!




You can purchase yours here.

I have to add I am really happy with this case - I really don't think the manufacturer could have done a better job, I can't find anything to improve or criticise and that's pretty rare for me!
