Thank You ChickAdvisor and Garnier for the opportunity to try this product and give my honest opinion
Im usually not a fan of SPF Moisturizer they usually make my face really have bad breakouts and always feel to heavy on my face.I do realize however being fair skinned and that I burn very easily I do need to be well protected with a SPF Moisturizer.I also realize as Im in my late 40s I really need to protect my skin.
I've been using this cream regularly after receiving it and only had one small breakout which for me is really good.I've found using this Moisturizer under my makeup before heading out and then using the Micellar Water to cleanse my face well before bed has really helped.
I love the crisp citrus smell of this Moisturizer it really has a nice clean smell.It is really lightweight on my skin and absorbs instantly into my skin and does not feel heavy or greasy.It feels so soft and velvety on my skin.It has really evened out my skin tone and is helping minimize fine lines around my eyes.
Some questions ChickAdvisor wanted us to consider are:
1)-How was your experience with this product based on the advertised benefits? (e.g. difference in skin tone, gentleness of cleansing, etc)
Advertised benefits listed on the Garnier site are:
• Radiant, more even skin tone.
• Smoother, more refined, even skin texture, reduces the look of wrinkles.
WOMEN AGREE***:
• 89% were immediately satisfied.
• 91% said skin looked visibly healthier and at its best after 8 weeks.
I defiantly noticed a more even skin tone
My skin is very smooth and most defiantly reduced the look of wrinkles
The Moisturizer is extremely gentle on my sensitive skin
2)-How quickly did you notice a difference when using the product?
I noticed a difference in about five days.With regular use my skin is looking better everyday.
3)-How would you compare this product to your usual skincare product?
I usually used a daily moisturizer and night cream a non SPF Moisturizer.I feel more confident about my skin now and the future of my skin using a Moisturizer with a SPF in it.It is very low 15 but I dont think my skin could handle anything higher so for me this is a perfect new skincare product.
4)-Would you purchase this product again?
I will purchase this product again you really dont need much a little goes a long way so the cost is not a issue it will last me much longer then my usual cream.I will continue to make sure I use the Micellar water as well and a night cream before bed.
5)-Would you recommend this product to a friend?
Yes I will recommend this product to friends.I have always trusted and loved Garnier products so there name speaks for themselves.
Thank You again ChickAdvisor and Garnier I enjoyed this review!

*I received Garnier SkinActive Micellar Water to test and give my honest review as part of the ChickAdvisor Product Review Club *
Thank You ChickAdvisor and Garnier for giving me the opportunity to try this product.
I have never used a Micellar water before so it was very interesting to receive this and test it out.I wear makeup daily and my usual routine is to use makeup wipes to remove my makeup at night before I go to bed.My face always felt very tight and dry afterwards and there was always residue of mascara left.I would have to really slather on a a night moisturizer afterwards to try soothe my skin.
This Micellar water really is like a magnet I was shocked at how much makeup and dirt it removes from my face.My face feels refreshed and there is no tight feeling on my skin afterwards.The bottle is huge!I was not expecting this big of a bottle it is 400 ml and a little goes a very long way.
Im happy to read there is no alcohol,fragrance or oil in this product.Its very lightweight and my skin feels so refreshed after using it.I like to use it in the morning as well it really wakes me up and makes my face feel good.
Questions ChickAdvisor wanted us to consider when doing this review.
1)-How was your experience with this product based on the advertised benefits? (e.g. difference in skin tone, gentleness of cleansing, etc)
As mentioned my skin did not have a tight feeling or felt dried out,I had no red marks from my usual over scrubbing.My skin was refreshed and cleansed.The product is very gentle,my skin is dry/sensitive and this was extremely gentle on my skin.
2)-How quickly did you notice a difference when using the product?
I instantly noticed a difference after using this product and notice a dramatic change in my skins condition.
3)-How would you compare this product to your usual skincare product?
This product has been a dramatic change from my previous skin routine.Before I was using makeup wipes that were drying and irritating my skin.
4)-Would you purchase this product again?
Yes I will be purchasing this product again this has replaced my old skincare routine
5)-Would you recommend this product to a friend?
I have been recommending this product to all my friends/family etc.

I received this Juicy Orange Pu'erh Tea From ChickAdvisor.I have never tried Davids Tea before but I certainly have heard many people rave about Davids Tea.
I was really impressed with the quality of this tea big chunks of dried orange,Hibiscus,black tea and blackberry leaf.When I first opened it you get a big scent of juicy oranges.I instantly craved a Iced Tea and steeped it and cooled it down and mixed a bit of sugar through it and poured it over ice with a squeeze of fresh lemon.What a refreshing delicious drink.
I cant wait to try some of the other flavors.

*I received this Chocolate bar for free as part of the ChickAdvisor Product Review Club*
Thank You ChickAdvisor and Brookside for the opportunity to try this chocolate bar and give my honest opinion.
I received three chocolate bars to review Mango Coconut Crunch,Blueberry Almond with Acai Flavor and Tart Cherry Crisp with Pomegranate Flavor.I enjoyed all three tremendously but the Mango Coconut Crunch was my favorite.This Tart Cherry Crisp was my Boyfriends favorite.
Some feedback Chickadvisor and Brookside are wanting to know are:
1)-What aspect of Brookside chocolates was particularly appealing to you (e.g. texture, flavors, chocolate quality, etc:
I loved the texture of this Chocolate bar I loved the crisp rice through this bar which blended perfectly with the tart cherries.The bar is full of lots of tart cherries in each bite and the crispness of the rice blends so nicely with it.The dark chocolate really is perfect with the tart cherry taste. Dont let that its called tart discourage you its really very flavorful.
2)-How unique did you find the flavors of each chocolate bar?
It was very unique.I have never heard of tart cherry chocolate and blended with the crisp rice and dark chocolate makes it really stand out and be unique.
3)-Was your craving and indulgence satisfied after eating Brookside Chocolates?
My craving and indulgence was more then satisfied.These chocolate bars are huge!They have the right amount of sweetness and rich creamy dark chocolate and the dried tart cherries are heavenly.My boyfriend and I loved nibbling on this with some grapes,cheese and bread for a real decadent treat.
4)-How does this chocolate compare to the chocolates you usually purchase?
Most other chocolate bars I have tried without spending a fortune taste so artificial and way to sweet for my liking.You most defiantly taste that this is quality made chocolate.I also love that it is a dark chocolate which just gives it such a unique taste.These chocolate bars are also very affordable.
5)-Would you consider buying these chocolates again and/or buy them as a gift for a friend?
YES!I will be buying these for myself and my boyfriend/family/friends.The presentation is just way to cute with the colored foil wrapping the chocolate and the quality and taste would make this a special little gift for anyone.
Thank You again for this opportunity ChickAdvisor and Brookside Chocolate.I really enjoyed this review. Im a big time foodie at heart and good food and quality treats makes me very happy.

Thank You ChickAdvisor and Brookside for the opportunity to try this chocolate bar and give my honest opinion.
I received three chocolate bars to review Mango Coconut Crunch,Blueberry Almond with Acai Flavor and Tart Cherry Crisp with Pomegranate Flavor.I enjoyed all three tremendously.My favorite was the Mango Coconut Crunch.
Some feedback Chickadvisor and Brookside are wanting to know are:
1)-What aspect of Brookside chocolates was particularly appealing to you (e.g. texture, flavors, chocolate quality, etc:
The texture of all three bars were really good and all very different.This Blueberry Almond with Acai Flavor had real fruit and toasted almonds which I loved.There were lots of dried Blueberries in each mouthful which was delicious.I wish the almonds were just a bit bigger as I love nuts through chocolate bars but you defiantly can taste the roasted almond taste that blended nicely with the blueberry and Acai.The quality was very apparent and I love the dark chocolate taste which is so rich and flavorful.
2)-How unique did you find the flavors of each chocolate bar?
All three flavors were very unique and very different as I mentioned above.The dried fruit throughout the bar was very different and really added flavor.I would not feel guilty eating this chocolate bar after reading the ingredients.A nice treat.
3)-Was your craving and indulgence satisfied after eating Brookside Chocolates?
Yes my craving and indulgence was extremely satisfied.The bars are very big and last awhile.Also the combination of fruits,nuts and the rich creamy dark chocolate really is a nice indulgence.
4)-How does this chocolate compare to the chocolates you usually purchase?
This chocolate is way better quality you can taste the difference and the ingredients speak for them-self.Other chocolate bars are usually sickly sweet and so artificial tasting.These are good quality and very affordable you dont have to pay a fortune for quality.
5)-Would you consider buying these chocolates again and/or buy them as a gift for a friend?
Yes I will be buying these chocolates again for myself.Also for my boyfriend(who I shared a little with and he loved it!)also for family and friends.The presentation is very cute how these bars are wrapped in colored foil.
Thank You again ChickAdvisor and Brookside for this wonderful opportunity to try these chocolate bars.
