Chick Advisor Premium Membership Welcome Bag

In January of this year (2017), Chick Advisor launched a new premium membership which offered some additional perks for members who subscribed over the free Chick Advisor membership.

For a one-time fee ($60 CDN), Premium members receive over $190 worth of beauty products plus a cute custom ChickAdvisor makeup bag, exclusive perks and from time to time, online offers from Canadian e-retailers.

I subscribed on the 17th of March and waited patiently for my welcome bag to ship at the end of March.  Sadly by the end of April I still had not received it so sent off a quick message to Chick Advisor support.  Within a few days I received a reply from Jennifer Andrews who is the campaign manager for Chick Advisor, to let me know the packages were late going out but I should receive it soon as they were waiting for extra goodies to be included in the boxes.

I was so very excited when I went to the mailbox on Wednesdat (May 3) and discovered my Welcome package/bag had arrived.  I hurried home and opened the box right away.






I am very detail oriented and quickly checked the Chick Advisor website as I remembered a couple other items in the picture provided by Chick Advisor when signing up.   Sure enough, there appeared to be 3 items missing 😒


And sadly, there were no extra goodies as Jennifer Andrews had mentioned 😢

I understand that there may have been more members signing up for the premium membership than anticipated, however, a note to let us know that they ran out of some items would have been nice.  The missing items were ones I was very much looking forward to trying too.

Bottom line - were the goodies in the premium membership welcome bag worth $190?
Prices below are taken from the product card included by Chick Advisor:
~ Know Cosmetics My Lips are Sealed - $25
~ Know Cosmetics No Bare Brows - $25
~ Mary Kay Lipstick - $21
~ Cake Beauty Heavy Cream Hand Balm - $12
~ CND Creative Play Nail Lacquer - $8.50
~ CND Vinylux Topcoat & Polish - $25
~ Vasanti Brighten up Exfoliator & Moisturizer (sample sizes) - $24
~ Le Petit Marseillais Body Wash - $8
Total for Welcome bag:  $148.50

I suppose if the other three products were included, it might add up to the $190
~ Real Techniques Brush - approx $12
~ Zoella Bath bar - could not find a price online
~ Know Cosmetic No Dark Shadows - $25

Overall I am happy with what I received, just disappointed that there were some items missing.  I have contacted Jennifer Andrews to find out if the missing items were indeed supposed to come with the Welcome Bag and will update when I have a reply.

** UPDATE - May 5
I received a reply from Jennifer Andrews indicating that the missing items would be sent "later this year (in the fall)" and this information had been posted in a video update on the Chick Advisor Facebook page.  Additionally, the extra freebies she was referring to were the No Bare Brows and the Vinylux Polish + Vinylux Top Coat that they recently added as a bonus and were waiting to receive them from the brand.

My Personal Experience - ParaGONE Parasite Cleanse

At the advice of a friend, I started my parasite cleanse on May 23rd and this is my experience When I started this blog, I advised I would post all about my experiences - nothing was off limits and we would discuss it all.  This is one of those TMI posts 😊 What exactly is ParaGONE? ParaGONE is a patented broad spectrum antiparasitic, antimicrobial, and antifungal herbal cleansing program. It contains herbs and extracts that are widely used as antiparasitics to remove both visual (nematode) and microscopic (bacterial) parasites from the body. It also contains antifungal herbs and extracts that are known to eliminate yeast/fungal organisms from the body. How does ParaGONE work? Antiparasitic herbs rid the body of parasites in 2 different ways; One group of herbs works by paralyzing the organism directly, allowing the body to remove it through the regular channels of elimination. Another group of herbs works by directly destroying the organism. ParaGONE is a formulation for...

Product Review - Nude by Nature

I was one of the lucky ladies chosen to review the new Nude by Nature line here in Canada through Chick Advisor Included in my package were: 1) Nude by Nature Radiant Loose Powder Foundation 2) Nude by Nature Perfecting Primer 3) Nude by Nature Mineral Brush #11 Let's get down to the review: 1) Nude by Nature Radiant Loose Powder Foundation I have previously used powder mineral foundations and was excited to try the Nude by Nature one. The powder comes in a nice clear tub with an interesting mesh sifter. It was hard to pick a color without actually seeing the powders in person but the color I chose matched my skin tone closely enough. That's where the good ends. My main priorities for a mineral powder makeup is that gives my skin a healthy look and they do not look cakey. Unfortunately this one failed. Nude by Nature made my mature skin look really bad, it seemed to accentuate lines and wrinkles I did not know that I had. I looked like I aged a few years i...

First Impression - Ancestry DNA vs MyHeritage DNA Kits

As an only child, I've always been curious about my genetic genealogy and ethnicity, especially on my mother's side of the family.  I am very lucky as my father had meticulously researched the genealogy for his side of the family (before the internet no less) and because of his efforts, I can trace our roots back to Alsace, Germany. Unfortunately family on my mother's side never really discussed their ethnicity or genealogy and I just assumed that they were either Ukrainian or Romanian.  Sadly there are no longer any living relatives on my mother's side that I can ask, so I decided to do the next best thing and do one of those fancy DNA tests they advertise.  But which one? As with any industry that has become popular, especially quickly, there are the front runner companies you always hear about - Ancestry, 23andMe and another I recently came across MyHeritage. Pricewise, MyHeritage is the cheapest at $99, Ancestry is next at $129 and then 23andMe at $249 (prices q...
