I was given the chance to try out this product for free by Chick Advisor. I have been on the hunt for the "perfect" natural deodorant. Prior I was using Secret Clinical, loved it, it works in masking my BO. I don't care if I sweat, I care if you can smell me. Then I switched to natural. So years later, still never found a good natural deodorant that can cover my scent. Now I'm in love to my men's gel deodorant, Old Spice. So this Degree was compared to that. It's a gel formula, no irritation, no residue, good start. The scent is ok, I was worried that it would clash with my scent, many times these citrus scent will do that. This one didn't, it's a light, orangy scent, nothing sweet like orangecicle, or like orange pledge either. It's ok, nothing overpowering. I can smell it on my for most of the day, but I don't mind it. I can work out, and I don't smell my BO, I just smell the deodorant! The only downfall to this deodorant is the texture. The Live Clean deodorant does this too, my underarms are sticky!. This drives me crazy! If you wear a sweater, the lint will stick to your underarms. I worry that it's not always easy to wash it off, as it makes like a coating. So it's ok, but I'll stick with my Old Spice. -

Out of all the flavours this was my preferred. Nice refreshing, summer drink.Many of these "water additives" smell great, but unless they have lots of sugar, they have no flavour. This one isn't bad at all. Take you little tea bag and add it to your water/bottle. In no time it's steeped. Add some colour, very aromatic and mess free! You don't need to keep adding fruit, which can get messy/ slimy by the end of the day. If you have it in your water bottle, drink the first one, add more water and your good to go! -

I was excited to try this product for free from Chickadvisor. I'm always looking for a good day time serum. This wasn't it for me. This is a thicker serum, and feels very hydrating on the skin. Your skin feels very hydrated, soft and plump. The serum has the same light scent that all the other product in this line has. So I've been using it at night, as it's ok. Nothing special, or worth repurchasing. I also don't like the deliver system, the pump to suck up the serum doesn't do it very well, you need to pump it out 3-4 times to get enough product to do your face, it's a little tedious for a bran new, full product, this normally only happens when the container is almost empty. -

I was excited to get this product for free from Chickadvisor, as some of my favorite sunscreens are from Neutrogena. This one isn't my favorite of theirs, but it's not the worst one I've used by far. I have oily skin, so I try to find a matte SPF, this one isn't it. The product is very liquidy and hydrating, but by mid day I am pretty oily, I can blot my skin and it still looks ok. I prefer their Visibly Bright moisturizing SPF, I didn't get an oily when I used that product. -

I was excited to get this product from chickadvisor for free to try out. I haven’t found a drugstore face polish/scrub that I like. This one still isn't my favorite, but it's not bad. I won't repurchase it once I'm done with it. The scrubs I prefer are actually microdemabrasion ones. This one has a decent amount of "scrubbies" and they are small in size. They actually do scrub your face. You're able to use this product a few times a week without over doing it to your skin. I only use a physical exfoliant once a week, but with this one I did use it twice a day. The product comes out as a thick paste that will scrub and wash your face at the same time. -

I was excited to get this product from ChickAdvisor for free to try out. I have oily skin and have a hard time finding face moisturiser that don't break me out or make me supre oily by mid day. I was very surprised to find out that this moisturiser works great with my skin. It's actually potentially the best moisturiser I used in the past few years and the best part it's from the drugstore. This is a light weight gel and quickly absorbs into my skin. Once it's absorbed, my skin feels matte. There is a nice light scent which is used in all the products in this line. The gel has micro shimmers in it, which I was worried would be visible on the skin, making it "bright". Thankfully the shimmers are noticeable at all. Does it brighten anything, I'm not sure, I just know my skin looked great and even toned after using it for 1-2 weeks straight. I just know it doesn't clog my skin, I'm not super oily by mid day, the scent is not strong or offensive and you get lots of product at a drugstore price. -

I wasn't sure what to expect with this cream. I for sure had low expectations, not because it's drugstore, but because of the claim " visibly smoother and younger looking skin in one week". That's a pretty big claim and I was happy that ChickAdvisor sent me this cream for free to try out.
I'm in my mid 30's, i have forehead wrinkles that are pretty deep. I didn't use this cream during the day, only at night. I never had any peeling, I didn't break out or have a reaction to it. The cream is a nice thick cream, very hydrating, not greasy, it absorbs quickly into the skin. I was really impressed with the texture of the cream, it felt high end. There's a very light scent to it; sweet, potentially fruity.
After using it for 1 night, the next morning, when putting on my foundation, it normally settles in my forehead wrinkles, that morning it didn't! I was sold! I'm not sure which of the ingredients did it, but I'll buy this again. I don't have much texture on my skin, I'm oily with larger pores and discolouration. After a week of use it did seem to help with evening the tone of my skin and the pores, some and my forehead wrinkles.

Batiste Waterless Cleansing Foam with Hibiscus Root
This does seem odd, add foam/liquid to your already oily hair. It does work. So the foam does come out like a mousse foam, rub it into your hair. Keep working it in till it's all gone. It will help with the oil, but I do find it leave a residue. I... +
This does seem odd, add foam/liquid to your already oily hair. It does work. So the foam does come out like a mousse foam, rub it into your hair. Keep working it in till it's all gone. It will help with the oil, but I do find it leave a residue. I wouldn't use this when my hair is very oily, or if I also needed a boost of volume at the roots, this won't do it. Need your hair to look better in a pony tail, or an up do, this will work. There's generally a powdery residue in you hair after use a dry shampoo, this one will also leave a residue, but it's not the same. I don't like the feeling of it in my hair. So I do prefer using a powder dry shampoo product.
Unlike the dry shampoos by Batiste, which are pretty scented, this one has a lighter scent. The scent is a nice, light, sweet, not very flowery scent. I'm not a big fan of flowery scents, so I was surprised with this one.
