First I want to say that I received a discount in order to review this service.
There was so much about this service that I loved. First of all, there were a ton of items on sale - I liked seeing how much I saved on my order (even before the discount). Also knowing that the order was picked by robots and that the order is packed at the warehouse instead of at a store was a huge selling point for me - less hands touching the order, products aren't damaged or bruised from customers handling them, and the produce was crisp and very fresh. And the recyclable plastic bags was another bonus.
As much as I'm not a fan of shipping or delivery fees I actually found the $7.99 delivery fee very reasonable for the amount of value you get in the service: a call 15 minutes before the order arrives, a professional and friendly driver that explains your order to you, only having to give a day's notice for orders, organizing the order with colour-coded bags to know which products need to go into the fridge, order coming in a temperature controlled truck... just to name a few.
I would definitely use this service again when I have large grocery runs to do - the runs where it's difficult for me to bring my kids along for. The small delivery fee is definitely worth the hassle I will save.

First I want to say I received this product free to review.
I really liked this soap - so much I've repurchased it for other areas of my house. I tested it in my kitchen, where we do most of or hand washing.
with 2 small children and the pandemic in full effect we've been constantly hand washing. my skin has been getting so dry and it's not worth using hand cream since I'm literally washing it off a short time later.
I'm not usually a fan of foaming hand soaps but I found one pump was enough to give a good clean and my hands felt great afterwards - not dry at all. That's a huge plus for me. The scent is just enough feel clean and not be overbearing. Especially for the price, I definitely recommend it.

I received this product from Chick Advisor to review for free. I tried the unsalted version but can’t find it anywhere to review.
I found this to be a great compromise between butter and margarine. I tried the butter tart recipe the info package came with. I was stunned at how flakey the tarts came out! And it made working with the dough sooooo much easier than with butter. I had my husband try them and he couldn’t believe they weren’t made with butter. I think it’s a great butter alternative for baking.
However, for every day items like toast or when it’s being used primarily on its own it tastes more like margarine than butter.
I actually think this may be my new replacement for margarine.
One thing I will say is that the brick was a lot softer than a standard butter brick. I found I couldn’t leave it out long because it would start melting quickly. But still a win in my books!

First off, I wanted to say I received this product for free to review by Chick Advisor.
I did like this serum although I didn’t find it had any lasting effects - just looked good while I was using it. I didn’t find it changed my skin after I washed it off.
I found it was better to use mixed with foundation or tinted moisturizer to add a dewiness to them. I thought wearing this, plus the illuminating gel cream was a bit too dewy/shiny for me.

First, I wanted to mention I received this product free from ChickAdvisor to review.
For the price point, I thought it was good. I did find my hair felt crunchier than it looked, but it did move well and, if I went over my hair again with a styling tool, it didn't stiffen up or "melt". I got a lot of compliments on my hair when I used it (I made sure to try it when I curled my hair). It was super easy to comb my hair at the end of the night too.
One thing I couldn't stand was the smell. I think I smelled coconut when I first sprayed it and I hate that smell. And the smell literally lasted until I washed it! I kept putting perfume in my hair tot try to mask it.

First, I wanted to mention I received this product free from ChickAdvisor to review.
I loved this! the bottle looks small but it was filled to the top and a little goes a long way. I liked how you rub it into your hands first (gave a cooling sensation in my hands) so that there is no residue in your hair, even on dark hair. It was easy to add more product afterwards too.
My hair has thinned out after the birth of my baby so this really helped. Also, the volume lasted ALL DAY - even through hair pulling and touching. And it still looked good the next day.

First, I wanted to mention I received this product free from ChickAdvisor to review.
While I did like this product, I'm more excited to use it in the summer since I'll be spending more time outside then. I try to avoid using SPF every day because I find they generally clog my pores. My skin can also get a bit irritated with SPF products but this didn't cause any additional oiliness or blemishes.
What I did find though is that between the serum, gel cream and moisturizer it was a lot to wear all at once. In the summer I would probably just opt for the serum and the moisturizer to keep it a bit lighter on my skin/pores.

First, I wanted to mention I received this product free from ChickAdvisor to review.
This was my favourite product out of the Bright Boost line. Although it says to only use it a couple of times a week I found it to be gentle enough to use every night. I have somewhat sensitive skin and am very careful about what I use on my face and this didn't bother me at all.
It cleaned my skin pretty well and even removed light makeup and left it smooth. I will definitely purchase this again.

First, I want to mention that I received this product free to review.
I really like this gel cream. Although I don't find it too moisturizing on it's own (I needed to add the SPF moisturizer on top) I liked how it made my skin have a natural glow. It actually reminded me of my pregnancy glow.
I would find this comparable to Glamglow Glowstarter moisturizer - which has been my go-to morning moisturizer since it came out, except at a more affordable price point.

I wanted to start by saying I received this product free from Chick Advisor to sample and review.
I really liked this masque. I used it instead of the HydraSplash conditioner (and with the HydraSplash shampoo) and my hair felt light and soft. I also found that it helped managed frizz and tangles. My hair has been dyed frequently and can feel a bit on the drier side, especially this winter. After one use of the masque you couldn't tell at all. I will continue to buy this masque because I love it so much.
My one issue with this masque is the packaging -the instructions don't mentioned whether you leave the masque in pre-shampoo or if this is done after conditioner or in substitute for conditioner! Since I've done other hydrating masques and they've varied in when you apply it I was confused and chose to use it instead of conditioner.
