I haven't used shampoo in over a year (I've switched to baking soda and apple cider vinegar), but I was so excited to give this a try when I found out I was accepted to try this for free. The scent is really refreshing, but not too perfumery.
One of the reasons I switched from regular shampoo was the environmental impact the bottles were having, but knowing that these bottles are recyclable, and that the shampoo is derived from organic ingredients as well.
At the end of the day, I enjoy this product and I very well may buy it if I ever switch back to shampoo again, and so for that reason, I do recommend it!

I am always on the lookout for aluminum-free deodorants and antiperspirants, so when I opened my Eco Box from ChickAdvisor and saw The Green Beaver, I was pumped!
I have sensitive skin and this product did not break me out at all, and the scent is very light. If I was buying this product at a store, I probably wouldn't go for the Fresh scent myself, but I digress: it's a light enough scent that you don't smell it after its applied.
Pros: this product is SMOOTH and so easy to apply, it's free from aluminum and it's made with a lot of natural ingredients.
Cons: plastic packaging! This is one of the reasons I have been using Aromaco from Lush for the last 2 years - no wasteful packaging. Overall this product is amazing, but if Green Beaver started making biodegradable packaging, it would be a 10/10 for me.

I received a trial of the RE-BOOST hydrating cream from ChickAdvisor and I started using it right away. I usually apply to my face after my shower and it's so soothing and refreshing with a light scent. I've already looked into buying more when this one runs out! If you have dry sensitive skin, this product will work for you :) -

This was my first time trying a product like this, but I have short hair so I was really excited for how this would help me style it every day.
The product does feel a little funny when you run your hands together to apply it BUT it is super easy to wash off and it doesn't leave any odor on your hands.
I found it gave my hair a TON of volume and it actually stayed for over 12 hours!! I love this product now, and will 100% be buying more when I run out!

I used this product before going to work at 10am, along with the lift powder that I also received for free. I took a picture of what my hair looked like before and after, and my hair actually held up for over 12 hours! Through the wind and me running my hands through my hair constantly during the day - it still looked great!
I like that it doesn't make my hair feel sticky - once it's dry, my hair still feels soft, and I've never had a hairspray do that for me before. Highly recommend!

I received this product as a free trial from ChickAdvisor for menstrual pain relief.
I recently switched birth control methods and it has resulted in incredibly painful menstruation. I started using Motrin at the first sign of cramps and within 20-30 minutes, it was like the cramps had never even happened! Regular Tylenol and advil were of no help, so this was a lifesaver!
In addition, I also underwent wisdom tooth surgery after receiving my Motrin samples and it actually works great for that as well!!

I received a coupon for a free case of Canada Dry Cranberry Ginger Ale from Chick Advisor. I chose to get a case of Diet as I am focused on my health and because I had already tried the regular version.
The taste is delicious!! It doesn't taste like a diet drink at all, and there's no sweetener aftertaste that is common in diet pop. I will definitely be buying more of this in the future!

Firstly, I love the idea of using an underarm product that has zero aluminum, so I think it's fantastic that such a huge player in the deodorant game has made the switch and spread awareness.
Unfortunately for me, this product did not live up to my expectations. I lead a fairly active lifestyle and go to the gym 3-6 times a week, an hour each time usually. The packaging boasts a "24 hour odor protection", and while the scent of the product is just lovely (I got the coconut and pink jasmine), it creates a less then desirable smell when mixed with perspiration.
I used this product on multiple occasions, mostly because when I received it, we were in the middle of a major heat wave. But even after the heat wave was over, I realized the deodorant was just not living up to its promise of odor protection.
It's a pass for me sadly, however I would be interested to try an antiperspirant version of this product!

YESSSS! This is my favourite Neutrogena product ever! This sunscreen is awesome, it smells really nice and applies very easily. It also doesn't feel greasy like typical sunscreens do - this actually does absorb into your skin, people! I will definitely be buying more of this when my sample runs out - thanks to ChickAdvisor for allowing me to try this for free! -

I received a bottle of this from ChickAdvisor, and I really like it! I work as a professional cleaner so my hands are pretty dry with some mild cracks. I tried this after work one day and my skin instantly felt more moisturized and smooth.
The only reason why I wouldn't switch over to this 100%, is because I don't feel it would be as effective in the winter when my hands get severely cracked. That would definitely need some intense cream. But, where this is more of a light, summer product, I will gladly keep this in stock at my house!
