Love, Life & Beauty After Fifty

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...

As a premier member of the Chick Advisor community , I was selected to review the new Canada Dry Orange Mandarin Club Soda. My package arrived about a week later and included a full-value coupon as well as some neat straws and a can lid. I was able to find the club soda at my local Sobey's and I popped a few in the fridge to cool.  I usually love any carbonated soda/water drinks however, I am sad to say I was very disappointed in this product. There was virtually no orange mandarin flavour at all - it honestly tasted just like normal club soda but with a more bitter taste.  My husband, who will normally drink just about anything, was also not impressed with it. Unfortunately I will not be repurchasing or recommending this drink to friends/family. #canadadryorangemandarin  #gotitfree * Products shown were sent to me for consideration.
