I received this Garnier Sleek & Shine 10-in-1 Leave-In Spray for free to try in exchange for my honest review from Garnier and ChickAdvisor #gotitfree. I have very fine dry hair. I loved that this gave my hair hydration and made it soft and smooth but I found the formula to be too thick and heavy for my hair. It unfortunately made my hair look a little oily/greasy. I like the way it makes my hair feel but I don't like the way it makes my hair look. The spray covers a very big area and I found it a little hard to control. After a few uses I found that I had better luck by spraying it into my hands first and then rubbing it into my hair. It worked better for me using it only on the bottom half of my hair. I like that it has plant keratin and lots of benefits. I will finish the bottle by using as a treatment or a detangler for days when I'm staying home or wearing my hair in a pony tail. It would probably work really well for people with thicker hair. For me I wouldn't buy it again but I will buy the Garnier Fructis Sleek & Shine Glass Hair Water that's from the same line because that worked really well for my thin hair. It did not weigh my hair down or make it look oily like the spray did. -

I received this Garnier Fructis Sleek & Shine Glass Hair Water for free to try in exchange for my honest review from Garnier and ChickAdvisor #gotitfree. I have extremely dry hair and regularly use masks and treatments on it to help with hydration. I have never used any glass hair waters or any other lamellar based treatments till I was gifted this product because I didn't think something so light weight would be effective. I was wrong. I was blown away by how soft and smooth this made my hair feel. The nozzle makes it easy to apply the right amount and cover all my hair from root to tip. Because my hair is so dry, I did take some extra time to really massage it in and left it on for closer to 4 minutes instead of the 10 seconds the bottle recommends. It was easy to wash out. When I was rinsing it out, I could feel that my hair was soft and I was able to easily comb my hair with my fingers to detangle it. It smells amazing; very fruity. The fruit smell is strong but doesn't linger after you dry your hair. After I got out of the shower and towel dried my hair it did feel a little sticky but that went away when I started blow drying it. Sleek and shine is 100% the right name for this product. My hair was so smooth and shiny. It looked amazing and a lot less dry and frizzy than it usually does. I'm super impressed that it has argan oil in it and it didn't make my roots look oily or greasy like some other products with that ingredient do. It actually helped give me some volume at my roots which was an added bonus. I'd say after about 5 hours I noticed some frizz staring to come back so it's not completely perfect but my hair did look nicer for longer than it would have if I didn't use this treatment. Again, keep in mind my hair is extremely dry and it might work better on people who don't have that issue. I also love that it's 100% vegan, cruelty free and made of 98% naturally derived ingredients. -

I received this Razor for free to try in exchange for my honest review from Gillette Venus and ChickAdvisor #gotitfree. I have to admit I am usually very bad at shaving, I end up accidentally cutting myself almost every time. This razor is designed in a way that it really barely touches the skin but is still effective at removing the hair. I found that it was really easy for me to use and I really liked the irritation defense bar. Paired with the Venus 2-in-1 Cleanser + Shave Gel this glided smoothly and easily across my skin with out causing any accidental cuts or irritation. I also like that the bottom part of the handle has a bit of texture on it that makes it easier to grip and hold in the shower when it's wet. It's really fast and easy to change the cartridge with the push of a button and a new one can be snapped into place in a few seconds. I also like that all of the packaging it comes in is recyclable cardboard and they have a program with Terracycle to recycle used blades and razors for free. -

I received this 2-in-1 Cleanser + Shave Gel for free to try in exchange for my honest review from Gillette Venus and ChickAdvisor #gotitfree. I really like that this gel makes a very light lather, more of a milky lather than a bubbly one. This allows you to be able to see what you're doing and make sure you don't miss any hairs while shaving. It helps the razor to glide easily without any pulling or irritation. I like that it's ph balanced, dermatologist tested and fragrance free. Some products that say fragrance free still have a natural scent but this shaving gel truly is fragrance free; it really doesn't smell like anything. I also like that it has 3 moisturizing oils in it: coconut, olive and jojoba. It leaves your skin feeling very soft and smooth. -

I received this Aveeno Daily Moisturizing Body Wash Eco Friendly Refill Pouch for free to try in exchange for my honest review from Aveeno and ChickAdvisor #gotitfree. I really love that more and more brands are changing their packaging to be eco friendly. This product uses 80% less plastic compared to the regular 975ml bottle. The pouch is easy to open and pour from to refill the Aveeno Daily Moisturizing Body Wash bottle. A little tip, if you don't have an Aveeno bottle you can still buy this and use it to fill up any clean bottle you already have. The body wash itself is great. It is thick, moisturizing and lathers well. It has a nice fresh scent that is not overpowering. I found that my skin isn't tight or dry after using it. I really enjoy using it and will buy this refill pack in the future. I hope that they will consider making even larger refill pouches so I can buy in bulk. -

I received this Aveeno Daily Moisturizing Body Wash for free to try in exchange for my honest review from Aveeno and ChickAdvisor #gotitfree. This body wash is truly moisturizing and is a must have for dry skin, especially in the winter. The body wash is thick and lathers well. It has a nice fresh scent that is not overpowering, it won't clash with any other scents you're using. I found that my skin isn't tight or dry after using it. It feels like you're using a bodywash and a cream moisturizer at the same time. I love that you can refill the bottle with the Aveeno Daily Moisturizing Body Wash Eco Friendly Refill Pouch. When you go to refill it the cap twists and then pops off easily and snaps back on after you are done. I hope they come out with refills for more of their products. -

We received this Gabby's Dollhouse MerCat Purr-ific Plush toy for free to try in exchange for our honest review from Spin Master and Butterly #gotitfree. This super cute plushie is very high quality. It is made with 3 different fabrics; a smooth shiny fabric for the tail and the top of her head, a plush soft blue fabric for her head and arms, and a pretty pink sparkly glittery fabric for the star by her ear (the glitter doesn't shed which is also a plus). The embroidery is done really well. I didn't find any loose threads. Being 8 inches tall this new friend is the perfect size for playtime or bedtime and is easy to bring anywhere! -

I received this hello naturally friendly deodorant for free to try in exchange for my honest review from Hello and ChickAdvisor #gotitfree. The scent I got to try is fresh citrus and I really love the way it smells. Fresh really is the perfect word to describe it; it's fresh and clean without being overwhelming. I have 4 things I look for when buying a deodorant: it has to have no aluminum, it has to be vegan, it has to have clean/natural ingredients, and most of all it has to work! I'm happy to say that this product checks off everything on my list. I prefer this hello naturally friendly deodorant over green beaver deodorant (which I tried in the past). The texture of the hello one is firmer and goes on easier. It's less messy to apply than the green beaver one. I find the green beaver one can be oily and a little sticky but I don't have that problem with Hello. I love that this Hello fresh citrus deodorant has moisturizing ingredients. I find that the shea butter, coconut oil and cocoa butter help my dry skin, especially in the winter. Even with the moisturizing ingredients this deodorant dries completely and is not greasy. Another thing that makes this product really awesome is the fact that there is no baking soda or no parabens in it. It's not tested on animals and the container is made from recycled materials. -

We received this Gabby's Dollhouse Gabby Girl's Purr-ific Pool playset for free to try in exchange for our honest review from Spin Master and Butterly #gotitfree. The concept for this toy is really cute and it has some fun components but unfortunately it wasn't very durable or stable because of some structural flaws. Only 2 of the 4 seaweed pieces that hold up the main platform snapped into place; the other 2 wouldn't fit and had to be left loose. The light blue ring that goes at the top of the slide is also loose and will stay balanced for a bit but falls out after a bit of playtime/movement. If Spin Master fixes these 2 flaws (which I think wouldn't be too hard to do) then this toy has the potential to be 5/5 stars. The cat figurine and Gabby doll are very high quality and detailed. They don't have that cheap plastic smell which is great. They change colour with warm water, the cat turns pink and Gabby's tail turns blue. The pool and slide are a lot of fun! There is a little double sided picture wheel under the pool that kids can spin and see through the bottom of the pool. All the extra pieces and accessories are great, especially the pool floaties and our favourite is the squishy octopus that you can fill with water and when you squish it the water sprays out. Overall, the concept is great but I would not buy it again and can not recommend it unless they fix the structural issues. -

I received this Dr Teal’s Black Elderberry Foaming Bath for free to try in exchange for my honest review from Dr Teal's and ChickAdvisor #gotitfree. I think it's really cool that the foaming bath has epsom salt in it even though it's a liquid. The black elderberry scent smells really nice. I thought it would be more herbal but it is actually nice and fruity. The bottle is really good at giving you control when pouring the product into the bath; even though the opening is big the perfect amount comes out nice and slowly. My only critique would be that I wish it made more bubbles. I feel like I ended up using a lot of product to get the amount of bubbles that I wanted. My bath was nice and relaxing. My skin was soft and smooth when I got out of the bath. I love that it has Vitamin D, Vitamin E, Black Elderberry and other essential oils. -
