I have received Le Petit Marseillais Shower Creme in Peach & Nectarine from ChickAdvisor's product review club to test and give my honest opinion.
This body wash arrived just in time for summer, hence the scent. I really like this gentle body wash. It keeps my skin soft and cleans well.
The scent is a mixture of peach and nectarine, sweet, almost like a candy or an ice cream, makes me smell fresh and clean after my shower. Leaves me smelling sweet! What I really like about this body wash is that it cleans well and washes off well. Does not leave my skin feeling all sticky like other body wash I've tried. Quick rinse!
The only downfall I would say, I'm more used to thick and creamy foamy body wash, so the first few times, I my skin, leaving it soft.feel that the texture is too light. Once, I got used it, I really love it. It rinses off easily and does it's job to clean
The bottle is a generous size, so I say it is a great value and of good quality. I highly recommend and would definitely re-purchased. This is the second body wash I have tried from Le Petit Marseillais and both have the same great quality and consistency.

I love Tim Bits more than life. When I had to change my eating habits due to my exercise regimen, it was the hardest to not eat so many Tim Bits.
I do however treat myself every now and then. I would get the mix 20 bits. I love all the flavors and they just melt in my mouth.
When I start eating these, I seriously can't stop. Tim Bits has always been my favorite as a child and still is.
If anyone is wondering what they are, they are donut holes, and come in varieties flavors. There's even a strawberry filling one.

I've been searching for a good dry shampoo as I tried a couple in the past and have had some bad experiences.
I've tried a salon product one, it's decent but I couldn't stand the smell and it's pretty pricey! Then I tried a drug store brand one, okay with the scent, but the spray mechanism broke on me after a few uses.
I read reviews after reviews and I decided to give got2b Rockin it dry shampoo as I've heard many good things about. The citrus scent is what got my attention as I love citrus scents products. It's refreshing and it's great for summer.
That said, I think this is a good product, it absorbs the oils in my 2 days unwashed hair. The only thing is to make sure you don't spray this too close to your head or else it will leave a white residue. Don't worry it will go away, just brush through your hair with a bristle brush.
I like the fact that it' goes on light and yes, the citrus lemon scent, brushes out with shine and no chalky feeling or look.
I'm pretty happy with this dry shampoo, I will probably re-purchased this again.

I have always have medium to long hair and my hair is really frizzy and wavy! I always have to use an anti-frizz but I generally use Paul Mitchell. I ran out of my Paul Mitchell and I was in a hurry that day because I need to attend a wedding.
I went to my local store and I picked up a bottle of got2b Glossy Anti Frizz Shine Serum, as I've always trusted got2b and have tried their products before.
It was to my surprise, for half the cost of the Paul Mitchell one, I'm getting almost the exact same product. I really love the subtle scent in this serum. It smells sort of sweet but a very nice scent.
Please note a little bit goes a long ways with this serum. Always start with a little then add more from there.
I was really happy with this product as it kept my hair sleek and not frizzy without it getting too oily. It leaves a very beautiful shine, as I have black hair, I get a lot of complements on my hair when I'm using this product. This serum is also very light wight, works well with wet or dry hair.
I usually put one to two drops on towel dry hair. Then I will blow dry. If I decide to straighten my hair with a straighten iron then I will put another 1 to 2 drops on my hair for the finish look. Side note: when using a serum based anti-frizz, start from the bottom of your hair first. I learned that from my cousin whom have been a hairdresser for over 20 years. As the roots of your hair produces the most oils so it will be extremely greasy and oily if you start applying the product from the roots first.
Overall, I'm very happy with this product and it is a good anti-frizz, very comparable to professional salon products. I would recommend and would purchase again. The thing is a little goes a long ways and the bottle that I bought have lasted me forever and I use it a lot.

Benefit Cosmetics Hoola Matte Bronzer

Knowing me, I have to try everything. There was so much hype about this bronzer that I had to get it. I'm a huge bronzer person. I can never go without putting on bronzer. I'm also surprised that I bought it because I'm not a huge fan of the packaging and I'm such a packaging person.
That said, I'm not sure what the hype is about this bronzer. My skin is not fair but I'm not dark either with yellow undertone. I guess I'm more towards medium. In the winter when my skin is lighter, this bronzer shows up but it's such an odd color. It's just off and I can't really describe it into words, just not very flattering. Probably just not a match for me.
In the summer when I'm more tan, it doesn't really show up. It's like I don't have any bronzer on.
The quality of this bronzer is decent, but the brush is too small and thin. I just used a bigger angled brush to apply this bronzer.
I do however like the fact that it's completely matte and no shimmer at all. I can't stand shimmer on my face, so that was a plus.
I think this will work better for someone whom has a more fair skin and perhaps a pink undertone.

I received a bunch of makeup (Urban Decay) for Christmas and this one is part of one of my gift. I normally just put concealer on my lids and use it as primer.
This UD one is actually pretty good, it has a nice applicator, easy to use compared to the old squeeze bottle. I'm one of those that don't like to use my hands and fingers to apply makeup, so I love this new applicator.
I say it does a very good job at preventing my eye shadows from creasing and helps my eyeliner stay in place.It dries quick and is not too thick. It helps keeps my eye shadow on all day which is good.
The only downfall is I think it works too well at keeping my eye shadow in place that it takes a bit of effort to blend. Thank goodness for the many many blending brush I own.
I would recommend to those whom wears eye shadow often and wants an extra something to make it last. Urban Decay is a very reputable company and all their products are usually very high end and is of good quality.

Essie Good to Go Rapid Dry Top Coat

Everyone whom knows me knows I love Essie, I own over 50 bottles of Essie's nail polishes. That said, I've also tried many different types of top coats and hands down, this is the best one.
I seriously always go back to this top coat. I even have a back up bottle of this top coat. It helps my nail polish dry super quick. (around 2- 3 minutes) It leaves a shiny finish and is never streaky and evens out imperfections. Which is what I love most about this top coat. I'm not the best at painting my nails and after applying this top coat, my painting job actually looks pretty nice.
Of course, this hardens the nail polish when it dries and helps my polish last longer. I could go 2 weeks and no chip on my nails.
I could not say anything bad about this top coat other than if you have the bottle for too long, it could start to get a little thick. I still use it anyways and it still works great!

I have received L'oreal Paris Root-Cover-Up in brown complimentary in exchange for my honest review about a year ago. Have repurchased many times since then.
I received the dark brown to use as a cover up for my grey hair. I don't have much grey, or enough to dye my hair so this root cover up is a life saver. It is great to have when you are on the go or have an event to attend and have no time to dye your hair. This works well for me when I have my hair up, there are random strands of grey hair sticking out sometimes, so just a couple of sprays will do the trick.
Please use an old towel or some type of cape when using this product. The spray is going to blast everywhere. It does take awhile to get the right amount. It is fairly easy to use. Just cover your top up with something if you don't want a permanent stain.
Overall this works well to cover up grey and it also works well if you want to make your hair look fuller. I highly recommend this product.

I have received Arm and Hammer 3-in-1 Power Paks Plus OxiClean concentrated detergent Laundry Detergent complimentary in exchange for my honest review.
I must say, these power paks are very convenient as it's 3-in-1 plus Oxiclean, no spills and don't need to add 3 or 4 other products. Just 1 pak will suffice.
That said, I've only tried this detergent a few times and can not tell the difference between a leading competitor's brand. It does remove stains a little better. It still does not remove harsh stains like oil, you will have to use a separate remover and it should do the trick to remove harsh stains.
The biggest difference is my husband is allergic to Tide and I find these paks are very comparable to Tide Pods. He did not get an allergic reaction to these ones, which is a good thing.
The scent is very fresh and smell nice and has a lasting power. I"m just glad there is a detergent with a nice scent that I could use for my husband's stuff as well. I was so afraid I might get stuck with scent free detergent.
The packaging is a bit tricky, it is child proof, so read the instructions. I think it is a good and smart thing to have the zipper of the package child proof as kids tends to think these pods look like candies so they may try to eat them. It is a well thought out safety precaution.
I will definitely buy these again. They work well and my husband is not allergic to them. Yasss!!

I received PowerBar ProteinPlus Reduced Sugar Creamy Chocolate Peanut Butter from ChickAdvisor for free to test and give my honest opinion.
First, I must state that I work out 4-5 times a week and I have tried many protein/energy bars for pre-workout. This one actually taste pretty decent for a protein bar. Of course with any protein bar, there will be a bit of a whey, gritty or coarse texture. It's not going to taste like an actual cake or a regular chocolate bar. I'm basing my opinion with that in mind and already knowing what to expect in a protein bar.
That said, this one is not as bad as others I've tasted considering how much protein is in this bar plus the reduced sugar. In my opinion for a protein bar they taste pretty good. It kept me full during my entire sweat session. I generally work out for about 2 hours so it did it's job keeping me full and energized.
These bars are great for pre or post workouts. I prefer pre-workouts. It does take about an hour for them to give you a kick of energy so I say eat them half an hour before workout and by the time you warm up and everything, it' will be perfect timing for your workout.
I would eat these with a glass of water as it tends to be dry (as of most protein bars)
Overall, I would have to go out and buy myself more of these to test out how the protein is working. I could only review the taste as of now because a few bars is not going to let me know if the protein is helping me gain more muscles or not.
Yes, I like the taste, doing it's job keeping me full, giving me a kick of energy. I will purchased more and work with these for a few months. They are good for on the go and no time for a meal as well. Just note, don't expect it to taste like an actual cake or a regular chocolate bar. Both flavors are just as good for me, as I find they all then to taste the same after a while.
