AVEENO® Restorative Skin Therapy Repairing Cream
The cream has a nice thickness and I didn’t notice any smell at all. Definitely helped with the dryness of my hands the only downside is I wish it would absorb faster.

I have never used online/delivery for grocery shopping so I was excited to give this a try.
I found the web site to be very clean and user friendly. It was easy to find the items and add them to the shopping cart. I really liked that you can mark items as favourite which is handy for the items you purchase often.
The only issue I had was that they did not have about 7 items that I had on my shopping list, but I found out from one of the delivery people that the site only posts what they have in stock; I did take a look today and see they now have some of the items I was looking for. So this is actually a plus in that you know if you don't see it they don't have it, which is better then ordering it and then not getting it or getting a substitute.
Other positives:
- Received a friendly call when the delivery was about 10 minutes away.
- They temperature check the cold items before handing them over. They shut the truck door when doing this to keep out the heat.
- The cold bags are marked differently
- I really liked that the chicken was in it's own bag.
- When the delivery arrived the staff sanitized their hands then put on gloves and mask
- Super friendly and informative staff.
- The items come from the warehouse and is done by robots, not staff in a grocery store.
- Everything was very fresh with great best before dates
Cons:
- I found that for some categories they didn't have much selection (mostly for meat)
- The delivery fee is $7.99
Would I use this again? Yes, but only if I was able to get enough items on sale to make the delivery fee worth it.
I received a discount on behalf of ChickAdvisor product review club to purchase from Voila by Sobeys

I really liked this body bomb. One of my favourite things about it is how light and silky it feels and a little goes a long way. The first time I used it I did put a little too much on one leg but I just rubbed the other like against it instead of getting more from the jar. I liked how moisturized my legs felt after using this bomb though it did take a little while to absorb but that’s OK it shorts weather :) -

I tried this product in the light/medium for combo to oily skin. I was a little worried about how dark the cream was when it came out of the tube but after applying to my face the colour worked quite well.
I have never used a BB cream before and I’m not a fan of foundations so I wasn’t totally sure what to expect.
I’d say this definitely did a great job at evening my skin tone, minimizing the look of pores and had a nice a matte finish.
The only downside was the next day I did have a bunch more breakouts on my face.
I would definitely use this product again if I was going out for a special occasion but don’t think I would use it regularly.

I tend to be pretty simple when it comes to styling my hair so I wonder if maybe I’m just not using this product right but I didn’t find it to be that great. It says it’s a liquid to powder finisher but when it sprayed out it definitely just came out as liquid on my hair. I guess you could say it did give it some texture as it felt kind of crunchy and almost made it tangled like. It took quite a lot of brushing to get it to the point where I could easily run my fingers through my hair. -

I have used many different dry shampoos over the years and was excited to try one that included increased volume given that my hair is fairly fine and flat. As far as the dry shampoo goes I did not find it very effective compared to other ones I’ve used. I didn’t feel like it made my hair look cleaner as well as other ones I’ve used. I was however happy with volume it gave, although after applying it did take a little bit of brushing to take out any stiffness or stickiness.
Overall I would treat this product more like a hairspray then a dry shampoo the volume did last all day but I felt like my hair looked kind of greasy.

I am very picky when it comes to mascara but I also love getting to try different ones. I was quite pleased with this mascara. In the past I haven’t always been a fan of ones that have the rubber brushes but I found this one worked very well. You can twist the end to either have the brush be more straight for longer lashes or twisted for more curl. Personally I didn’t find the shape of the brush to make much difference but I was still very happy with how my lashes looked. It lasted throughout the day without flaking off and was easily removed with eye make up remover. -

I have tried using a few oils for cuticle care so was very happy to get this product in my gift bag for a recent check advisor event.
I got to say I’m in love mostly based on how easy and clean it is to apply this oil. Having a brush that’s in pen format makes it so easy to apply without dripping oil anywhere or worrying that the bottle is going to spill.
I often get dry cuticles and this product has made them feel nice and healthy. The first time I used it it did take quite a few cranks of the bottom to get the oil to come to the top so I was a little worried at first and you do have to watch that you don’t overdo it.
It has a bit of an almond like smell to which I find very pleasant, kind of a sweet scent.

I received this lip stain colour in Rosewater. It’s a bright pink but still somewhat soft.
I really liked how long the colour lasted, a good part of the day with lots of drinking from a straw and eating. It did take me a few uses to find out exactly how much of a lip stain to put on. It is quite wet when applied and at first I was applying it was a little uneven but then I realized once it was dry it looked fine so I stopped worrying so much about the amount that I was putting on.
The only downside I find is the brush application. I found that it needed a really steady hand and paying lots of attention because if you went off the lip it would stain in your face.
Overall this is definitely a product I would get again and would be happy to try some other colours as well maybe something in a red next time.

I received this product for free for my honest opinion.
I was excited to be chosen to try this product to see if it would work on the few fine lines under my eyes.
I used the product twice daily for a week after using exfoliating cleanser. After a week I found that my skin would feel a little tingly and warm under my eyes when I used creams or sunscreen so I started using the product just once a day.
After using this product for two weeks I don’t really notice any difference.
