The Nivea MicellAIR Water removed all traces of makeup. I only used the MicellAIR Water mainly to remove all my eye and lip makeup. I did try removing my face makeup with it however, the amount of cotton pads that I ended up using to remove my face makeup seemed like a waste. That being said, it does work and if someone was wearing little to no face makeup or has a giant cotton pad to soak in the micellar water, by all means, go for it.
When it comes to removing my eye makeup (heavy eye makeup, waterproof eyeliner/mascara, etc) as well as lip makeup (lip stains, liquid lipsticks, etc), it did a great and gentle job at removing the makeup. It didn't cause my eyes to sting or develop any redness. And because it's micellar water, it feels as if you just removed your makeup with water. My skin felt clean and refreshed.
Overall, a great makeup remover for those with dry and sensitive skin but it's also great for all other skin type.

The Nivea Care Nourishing Cream reminds me a lot of the original Nivea Creme. The scent is very much the Nivea Creme scent everyone probably knows and loves - it has a sweet light floral fragrance.
The difference between the Nivea Care Nourishing Cream and Nivea Creme is the texture. This product isn't as thick, it has more of a lotion texture whereas Nivea Creme and more thick and creamy. The Nourishing Cream absorbs fast and doesn't leave a greasy touch - in fact, it leaves a very smooth touch. My skin feels great after application and throughout the day. Overall, I highly recommend this product to everyone - whether you have normal or dry skin, it's a great moisturizer for the body, face and hands.

The Vichy Quenching Mineral Mask is a clear mask feels very cooling once applied. It similarly reminds me of a sheet mask without the sheet itself. The mask stayed on the face without any product dripping. However, after having the mask on for a couple of minutes, my face started to feel sticky - the same texture when a sheet mask is removed. I thought by tapping and massaging the product after the 5 minute mark, the product would sink into my skin. It did not. What I ended up spritzing a bit of water and massaged the rest of the product into my skin. It seemed to do the trick and left my skin from feeling sticky.
After using the mask for a couple of weeks, my skin looks and feels refreshed, hydrated, and smooth. It's definitely a great mask for those who are looking for a hydrating mask.

*Disclosure: I received this product complimentary from ChickAdvisor for testing/review purposes.
The Vichy Purete Thermale Makeup Removing Miceallar Cleansing Wipes did do a great job at removing my makeup and cleansing my face - one towelette managed to clean off all the makeup on my face. The towelettes are not super soaked but leave a clean feeling from the micellar water. These scentless wipes are not only gentle on the skin and left my face feeling clean but also smooth, refreshing, and didn't leave a sticky feel on the face - it literally feels as if you just wiped your face with a towel that ran under micellar water.

I was surprised it's non-dairy. A few non-dairy frozen desserts I've tried in the past would have textures and taste that wasn't satisfying. Although it's not as creamy as ice cream, it's also not like eating watered-down flavour in chopped up ice. Ben & Jerry's Non-Dairy Frozen Dessert in Peanut Butter Half Baked tasted amazing! It taste like chocolate peanut butter ice cream with chunks of peanut butter cookie dough and fudgy brownie. It's a great alternative for those who can't consume dairy as their quality is on par with Ben & Jerry's regular ice cream.

*Disclosure: I received this product complimentary from ChickAdvisor for testing/review purposes.
Firstly, the scent! I love the scent - it has a natural scent of lemon/citrus. It doesn't linger around for long so no worries if you're not into citrus. The primer is a great base for makeup as it goes on and feels very lightweight and smooth on the skin. It helped blend my makeup and kept it stayed on all day.

The Neutrogena Hydro Boost Water Gel Sunscreen is very lightweight on the skin. The consistency of the sunscreen is very liquidy - almost like lotion. It applies, spreads and absorbs into the skin very well, not greasy and doesn't leave a white cast - which is great! It does have a hydrating feel on my skin but it leaves a tad bit of sunscreen texture - it's not sticky but it definitely feels like a layer of product is on the skin.
I like how it doesn't have that typical strong sunscreen scent. It smells neutral enough that it won't be irritating to the nose. I would most certainly recommend this product to everyone and to be used everyday, especially during the summer due to its spf 50.

When it comes to moisturizers for the face, I always aim for something that's hydrating. The Neutrogena Hydro Boost Gel Cream does just that. It really hydrated my skin and keeping the complexion radiant, glowing and smooth. The texture of the cream isn't like a thick gel consistency, in fact, it's like a water-based gel which left my skin feeling and looking very hydrated. It absorbed into my skin immediately and there was no stickiness afterwards, it felt smooth to the touch. After a few days of use, my skin definitely felt and looked more refresh and rejuvenated.
I would recommend the Neutrogena Hydro Boost Gel Cream to everyone, especially those who need a bit of hydration in their skin, as well as those who have dry skin.

*Disclosure: I received this product complimentary from ChickAdvisor for testing/review purposes.
The Neutrogena All-in-One Makeup Removing Cleansing Wipes are one of my favourite makeup wipes. It gently removes all my makeup and leaves a smooth and clean feeling. The size of the wipes are generous, one wipe removed all my makeup. Even on heavier makeup days, where I have a full face of makeup and waterproof eye makeup, the wipes completely removes EVERYTHING.
The wipes don't irritate the eyes and doesn't leave a sticky or tight feeling on the face either. In terms of scents, it's hard to describe but it's a very calm and soothing scent.
I would recommend this product to everyone. Anyone who sometimes has trouble removing ALL their makeup with their current cleanser and would like something easy, fast, and gentle. I would also recommend these wipes to bring when travelling.

*Disclosure: I received this product complimentary from ChickAdvisor for testing/review purposes.
Firstly, the design of the hair spray can is great! The shape of the can makes it easy for the hand to hold to spray the product into hair. The hair spray itself has a fresh, semi fruity scent. Once sprayed, it's lightweight and doesn't provide a stiff/crunchy texture some hair sprays sometimes have. The hair spray provided volume, didn't weigh down my hair, and kept my styled hair in place for the entire day.
I would recommend the Hold Level 3 to anyone who wants volume (or extra volume) in their hair and/or to those who have trouble keeping their hair styled throughout the day.
