Neutrogena's Rapid Wrinkle Repair Prep Cleanser is a creamy face wash with little purple micro exfoliants. Thankfully, these exfoliants are not plastic micro beads. The cleanser has a fresh, light, clean scent to it. I use it morning and night before applying my Neutrogena Retinol Oil, as it is gentle enough to do so. The exfoliants are not too rough and don't hurt at all. Thus, like the bottle advertises, you can use this cleanser everyday if you like.
After cleansing, my face does feel and look smoother. It does not dry out my face or strip it of its moisture.
I think that this is a good and quite effective exfoliating cleanser.

I was lucky enough to receive Vaseline's clinical care extremely dry skin rescue overnight cream to try for free. This rich, thick, non-greasy cream claims to deeply moisturize your skin and aid in it's natural renewal cycle, overnight.
This cream is definitely an intensive moisturizing treatment. It is quite thick, but applies very easily and smoothly onto the skin. It absorbs well, although I do find that you can still feel it a bit on your skin even after it's been on for a bit. I don't find this to be much of a concern, however, since this cream is intended to be used before bed. Once in bed, you really don't notice it, or you fall asleep; whichever comes first. I personally used this on my very dry legs that were dried out and a bit scaly in parts. This cream muchly improved the appearance of my skin and hydrated it well. Plus, it didn't make my skin burn like some creams do when you put them in dry, chapped skin.
The product itself comes in a pretty big tub (201g), which I think is a good size for a cream. I am fairly certain that this tub will last me for ages. It is also hypoallergenic and fragrance free!
Overall, I am very satisfied with Vaseline's clinical care dry skin overnight cream. It works well without being greasy or scented and it is a good value.

I received Vaseline's clinical care extremely dry skin rescue healing moisture lotion complements of Chickadvisor to try and review. This lotion it meant to transform skin from very dry to healed and hydrated in just 5 days.
I really like this lotion. I have very sensitive skin and also, cannot tolerate synthetic fragrances. This lotion is fragrance free and it did not irritate my skin at all; which is fantastic! It absorbs very quickly and doesn't feel greasy at all. Which is good, because I can't stand lotions that are greasy or tacky feeling in the slightest.
I have such dry skin, especially on my hands and legs. I used this lotion during the day and sometimes before bed and I found that it does work. My legs feel so much better than they did before I started using it. My skin actually feels soft, not dry, and they visibly look better.
I definitely would recommend this lotion to anyone, but especially to those with skin in need of some serious hydration and people who have sensitivities.

Love Beauty & Planet Coconut Milk & White Jasmine Light Hold & Frizz Control Hair Spray (level 2)

Coconut and White Jasmine #2 hairspray is an eco-friendly brand product by Love, Beauty and Planet that is meant to provide light hold, frizz-control and leave your hair with a fresh and light, nature inspired scent. It is both vegan and cruelty-free and does not contain parabens or alcohol. I have had the opportunity to review and test this hairspray for free, thanks to Chickadvisor.
I tried using this hairspray in a few different ways. I tried using it to help hold a braided hairstyle in place; to tack down frizzies and fly aways; and before styling with heat tools. After testing, I have found that this hairspray really isn't like a traditional hairspray. It really is more like a scented hair mist that is meant for control of frizz and fly-aways. It does both of these things well. If I use a spritz or two and brush out my hair so it's smooth, it will stay that way, free of frizzies and fly aways. Also, it doesn't leave your hair feeling stiff, crunchy or sticky. It makes your hair smell of coconut milk and fresh jasmine.
I did not find that this hairspray really provided much actual hold of my hair when it came to styles like braids or with hot tools. I also found the consistency of the spray nozzle to be, well, inconsistent. Sometimes the mist is fairly fine, while others it comes out in bigger drops. It can make controlling the amount that is applied to your hair difficult.
I personally probably wouldn't buy this hairspray, mainly because I prefer unscented hairsprays, but also because I would like just a bit more hold from my hairspray. But, I would say that this coconut and white jasmine hairspray is a good fit if you are looking for something to tame frizz, fly aways and leave your hair scented. If you are looking for anymore hold than that, or if you really dont want a hairspray whos smell is going to stay with you all day, then this isn't the hairspray for you.

Love, Beauty and Planet's Devine Definition conditioner, with coconut and white jasmine is a product that you can feel good about buying. It is free of silicones, dyes, parabens and animal testing. It is formulated with plant-based detangling agents and contains "fast rinse" technology: meaning it rinses from your hair quickly to conserve water.
I received the Devine Definition conditioner complementary for testing and review from Chickadvisor.
I never buy conditioners unless they are thick. I want to make sure that it is going to coat all of my hair and stay on while it does is job. So when I found out that the Devine Definition conditioner is a nice, creamy consistency, I was pumped to try it out. It is indeed a nice, thick consistency that allows it to evenly coat your hair from room to tip. This conditioner was no trouble to rinse out of my hair. However, I am not really sure if it rinses out any faster than other conditioners, like it advertises.
This conditioner is scented very much like it's shampoo counterpart, just perhaps not as strongly. Notes of coconut milk and jasmine are definitely the predominant fragrances.
In general, this conditioner is effective in detangling your hair and works pretty well. After drying, it leaves my hair shiny, fairly soft and looking healthy.
I don't really have anything negative to say about this product. It seems a good value, it works, and it's eco-friendly. If these are characteristics that you value in a conditioner, then you should give this conditioner a try!

Devine Definition Shampoo by Love, Beauty and Planet is made with coconut and white jasmine to awaken your curls and enhance the natural definition of your hair. This eco-friendly shampoo is formulated with planet-based cleansers and ethically sourced ingredients. It's vegan, cruelty-free and does not contain silicones, dyes or parabens. I have received this shampoo, complementary of Chickadvisor, for testing and review.
This shampoo seems like it's a pretty good value because the bottle is pretty big (400ml), and would last you a long time. The shampoo itself is pearly-white. It is very fragranced with notes of coconut milk and Jasmine flowers. It has a very fresh, green floral scent. The coconut smell is not the type you smell in tropical sunscreens or lipbalms. If you like to use hair mists, you will like this shampoo. Initially, when you first get out of the shower the fragrance is very strong. But once your hair dries it changes into a lighter scent that lasts throughout the day and even into the next.
This shampoo lathers really well. Infact, it lathers just as good as non-eco friendly shampoos that I have used. It made may hair feel nice and clean after use.
I like this shampoo by Love, Beauty and Planet. It works well and does it in a way that is better for our planet, which is something that is important to me. The scent of this shampoo isn't my favourite scent ever, but it's not bad, and really, fragrance is all a matter of preferance anyway.
The next time you are looking for a new shampoo, you might want to give this a try. I do recommend it.

Aveeno Positively Radiant MaxGlow Infusion Drops promise to give your skin a radiant glow that locks in moisture and hydrate your skin for 48 hrs. I recieved this product complementary of Chickadvisor for testing and review purposes.
The serum comes in a dropper format, that's actually really nice and the bottle is kind of pretty. The drops smell exactly the same as the other products in Maxglow line and thus have a light, tropical fruit-like smell.
I want to start by pointing out that I am very sensitive to fragrance and many skin care products. But I can happily say that neither the scent of these drops, nor the drops themselves caused me to have any type of allergic reaction.
The Maxglow drops are a thinner gel-serum format. The package says that you can mix them in with your moisturizer and so that's what I do when I use them. It mixes in really well and makes application easy. When applied, you can't really tell that you have the serum on your face. If you touch your face, you can feel a few slightly tacky patches, even after you've had it on for an hour or more. I don't find that it's something that is really bothersome though. Plus, I think if you plan to use these drops under your makeup, you probably wouldn't feel it at all.
So the whole point in using these drops is to make your skin glow and look radiant. My skin, like many of us, has been suffering from the winter blues and has been needing something to give me back that glow and ride me of that lack-luster appearance. After using these drops, I can actually say that I did notice an improvement in the appearance of my skin. The drops actually do give it some of it's natural-looking glow back (not a glow-oil type glow, fyi) and make my skin look more radiant. It's very natural looking and I'm rather pleased with the results.
Overall, I actually think these drops are pretty good. I think they will last me a long time since the bottle is quite large and you dont need to use much. I would say that yes, I would recommend the Aveeno Maxglow Infusion Drops to someone who is looking to help revitalize their complexion and achieve a natural-looking glow.

Aveeno Positively Radiant MaxGlow No-Mess Sleep Mask, made with soy and kiwi complex, is an overnight face mask that will hydrate your skin while you sleep so that you wake up to dewy, radiant skin. I was given this mask to test and review, for free, by Chickadvisor.
Gladly, this mask really did live up to its claims of being hypoallergenic. I am very sensitive to smells and a lot of skincare products irritate my skin. But, this face mask didn't bother my skin at all, yay! The scent is light and rather like tropical fruit.
The applicator for this mask is smart. It's a silicone paddle, attached to the tube the mask comes in, that you can turn to open and close the applicator. You squeeze it and the mask comes right out the end of the paddle, which you then use to spread the mask over your face. That's where the no-mess part is comes in because you dont actually have to touch your face at all to apply the mask.
Once the mask has set, you can't really see it, but you can feel it a bit if you touch your face. It doesn't feel greasy or sticky. It has this kind of suedy-type feel to it.
In the morning, the mask easily washes off of your face with water and cleanser.
After using this mask several times, I can honestly say that, well, I really didn't notice any difference in the appearance of my skin. I did not find it to be any more dewy or radiant looking than it was before I started using the mask. I don't really think my skin felt any different either - as in smoother, more hydrated, etc.
Therefore, sadly, no I wouldn't buy this product in future and I would likely recommend it to anyone either.

Aveeno Positively Radiant MaxGlow Peel-Off Mask claims to brighten and exfoliate your skin. The peel-off mask will lift away dry, dead skin to reveal glowing skin with better tone and texture. I received this Aveeno peel-off mask from Chickadvisor, complementary, for testing and review purposes.
I have never used a mask like this before, so using the peel-off formula was definitely a new experience for me. The squeeze-tipped bottle makes application simple because you can squeeze the product directly onto your face and then spread it out. You need to work fast because the mask becomes tacky and difficult to spread as it quickly starts to dry once it's out of the bottle. Furthermore, you need to use a fair enough amount of product for this mask to work well. Too thin of a layer makes it hard to peel the mask off your face, and it ends up peeling off in little bits.
After 20 minutes the mask dries into a shiny, stiff sheet that you then peel off your face. This is the wackiest part of this mask because it's kind of like peeling a big sticker off of your face. The first time I used it, it actually hurt a bit to pull off my cheeks (the second time didn't... weird).
So is all this fuss and "pain" worth it in the end? Well, I can say that after using this mask my skin really did feel smoother. I didn't think my skin was particularly rough before, but the noticeable difference after using the mask was quite surprising. I don't really think I'd say that my skin looked glowy from using this mask. But, since it removed the rougher, dead skin from my face, it left my face looking more even and healthier.
To sum everything up, the Aveeno Maxglow Peel-off mask is easy to use and results in skin with a more even looking texture and tone that feels smoother. However, you do have to use a fair amount of product per mask; you probably would only get three uses/ bottle. Also, the mask can smart a bit when you peel it off.
I am not sure whether I would buy this product or not. It does work well enough, but I don't really like the fact that the hurt a bit to remove. It also seems a bit pricey to buy if you're only going to get three uses out of it.

Oh deary me. I was so disappointed when my FENTY BEAUTY by Rihanna Mini Fairy Bomb turned out to be a total bust. After I ordered it, I noticed comments popping up from other's who had bought it saying that their little bombs didn't work. Unfortunately, mine was the same. This little, adorable snowball-like puff is supposed to have shimmery powder in it that you can apply to your skin with a pat of the puff. But, with my fairy bomb, I had to wack the crap out of the thing, onto my skin, to get anything to come out of it. When powder finally did come out, there was very little of it, unlike the product photo that shows a full out powder streak across the model's arm. You really shouldn't have to beat yourself up in order to get a product to work! (Seriously!). Not worth the $25 CAD I paid for it. Plus, it turns out that the powder is scented and it isn't a very good scent... It's sweet, but not in a good way. It's weird....
Sadly, this is definitely a product on the return list.
