I received this from a friend and am so glad I did. I was skeptical upon first using it as I didn't think a simple spray could be an effective odor or perspiration blocker to keep you feeling and smelling fresh during the day, but this did just that! If applied correctly, by shaking bottle and spraying under arms from a considerable distance away, as stated in the directions, - it goes on dry, stays put, leaves a lovely scent, is long lasting and works like a charm! It leaves me smelling nice all day and I've never had a problem with the product feeling wet. It's a dry spray and that's exactly how it seems to go on.
I enjoyed this product so much that I immediately went out and purchased the pomegranate scented DOVE dry spray antiperspirant as well! While the prices on some of these new products leave a bit to be desired, if you time your purchase with a sale, rebate app and coupon, the savings can be significant. I would definitely recommend it!

A big thank you to ChickAdvisor and AdrienGagnon for allowing me to be apart of this health renewal campaign and providing me with the great free products to test and review!
I will admit I was a bit cautiously optimistic sampling the Adrien Gagnon Decadent Fudge Nutriforme bars as I've tried a few various types of meal replacement drinks and bars as well as the occasional energy bars which sometimes leave a slightly heavy and chalky aftertaste, especially if a chocolate flavor, but I am happy to say these did not seem to leave the same undesirable lingering flavor long after I had finished eating the bar. It was a pleasant taste with a nicer smoother texture than I expected and it definitely was a good meal replacement and if just used as a snack it filled me up quite a bit so I didn't seem really hungry once the next meal time arrived. As far as giving me extra energy, I definitely noticed a boost several hours later, with the beneficial ingredients and I felt good knowing I was giving my body less calories with some nutrients I desperately needed throughout the day. Overall, I'd have to say I would most likely purchase this tasty and helpful product again as it makes trying to get some of the proper nutrients in my diet much easier and more affordable than some of the alternatives out there.

My family made the switch from our regular tangier mayonnaise brand to this and now we prefer Hellman's more often than not. My husband definitely prefers it, while I still like some miracle whip in the house for certain recipes or sandwiches. I really enjoy the all natural simple ingredients and the olive oil substitution that's a healthier choice for my family. We can barely tell the difference and if anything it is a good, positive change. This mayonnaise is creamy, flavourful and natural - what's not to love? -

I received the package of Adrien Gagnon Super Energex ampoules compliments of ChickAdvisor and ENERGEX as a member of the product review club. I shared this with my husband so we could discuss results and both review the product. Based on normal daily use while in good health both the dark green/black color when mixed with water or orange juice and the taste, although listed as 'ORANGE' flavored, leaves a lot to be desired as the other ingredients definitely overpower any citrus flavor that may be intended. The ampoules did not seem to give us much more energy than usual as per the claims. The quality seems good and on par with ingredients used but I am unsure of the average cost in my area as this was a FREE item given to test and review. However, the listed cost of $12.49 seems very reasonable.
Overall, I would probably not purchase this product in the future as not much difference in energy was noticed but it could potentially be quite beneficial if you are sick or coming down with an illness as it may most likely boost a weakened immune system.

Thanks Nivea and Chick Advisor for this fun extra freebie!
I have many lipsticks, tints and glosses but very few, if any, lip balms that are so badly needed for wide ranging seasonal weather here in Canada. I have been meaning to buy a new one so this was perfect!
This lovely NIVEA Pearly shine lip balm is just what I needed and I really enjoy how smooth the product texture is and how easily it glides over my lips to leave them perfectly hydrated but without that heavy clumpy feel. This wonderful lip balm left my lips feeling lightly but quite hydrated and smooth with the added bonus features like the pearlescent shine which I am a huge fan of. This product has renewed my fan status and loyalty to NIVEA lip balms which once upon a time I had used exclusively.
I would definitely recommend this fantastic, well priced product and I will definitely be stock piling myself more! Maybe I will also even try some of the other Nivea lip balm line types.

I received the NIVEA Q10 plus Anti-Wrinkle Serum Pearls free to try and review compliments of NIVEA and The Chick Advisor review club as part of a NIVEA product review campaign, so a big thank you to both wonderful companies for the great products to test! Plus, a special thanks for the bonus PEARLY SHINE Lip Balm and Creme moisturizer. Those were a nice extra surprise!
As a loyal NIVEA customer and fan I was excited to be chosen for this product review campaign and was very much looking forward to trying these products. I received my NIVEA product package in the mail only one week ago and my first impression was pleasant and favorable to the bright, cheery yellow packaging and serum pearls. Plus, the convenient pump was also a really nice feature! Although I was initially skeptical that this product distribution method could cause problems for the dispensing of the larger pearl beads it proved to not be an issue. I enjoy the fact that, besides the typical hyaluronic acid ingredient, this serum formulation also includes Q10, which renews and replenishes what is already a naturally occuring component in skin that simply depletes and diminishes with age. This increased level of Q10 greatly contributes to the diminished look of fine lines and wrinkles. While I thankfully do not need much help in that area, every aspect of this product seemed to benefit my skin and contribute to a very nice end result in the overall appearance and complexion of my face.
In the short time I have used this serum I have noticed improvement to my skin's overall appearance, with the moisturizing pearls surprisingly absorbing quite well and leaving the texture of my face more soft and supple than prior to use or even with use of other similar serums. This product is on par or below the average cost for other similar serums in this category. While it may not necessarily be the best anti-wrinkle formula on the market, moisturizer in itself helps to promote less wrinkles and lines by renewing skin's hydration -- creating a refreshed and radiant look to your face while adding firmness and giving a plumping voluminous look and feel. All of these added benefits certainly make this product worth the money and I would recommend the NIVEA Q10plus Anti-Wrinkle Serum Pearls.

I received the NIVEA IN-SHOWER Body Lotion free to try and review compliments of NIVEA and Chick Advisor as part of a NIVEA product review campaign so a big thank you to both wonderful companies for the great products to test! Plus, a special thanks for the bonus PEARLY SHINE Lip Balm and Creme moisturizer. Those were a really nice extra surprise!
As a loyal NIVEA customer and fan I was excited to be chosen for this product review campaign and was very much looking forward to trying these products. The cocoa butter In-Shower body lotion did not disappoint as it most definitely lived up to its claims of quick absorption, no sticky feel or residue and although it did not seem to quite last an entire day as stated it has the longest lasting moisturization of any other brand I have used on the market. Plus, the warm cocoa butter fragrance left a lovely, light scent that is by far one of the nicest, non-overpowering fragrances of any cocoa butter product I have ever used.
This product may be a bit pricier than some of the competition but it is well worth it and I would most definitely recommend it to anyone that wants the convenience of an In-Shower moisturizer but the benefits of a regular body lotion or cream.
