This was the first time that I had tried the Dove brand of antiperspirant. I usually use a deodorant instead. I am a fan of the Dove line of products otherwise and really love their media campaigns too. This product kept me fresh for most of the day but I did reapply part way through the really hot days. Smells great too and not a crumbly mess to use. -
Lipton Berry Hibiscus Herbal Tea K-Cup Packs
I love the ease of the K-cups. this means I can make a cup at a time and I often use the same k-cup 2 times to fill a large mug without forgoing any taste. This flavour is also great brewed over ice to create iced tea. Perfect for summer days!... +

I am really on the fence about this product. The capsules are packed in a vial type package which travels pretty decently. We accidentally ripped the top off of one tube when trying to separate them for usage. I tried mixing a vial in water and it was ok flavour, almost butterscotchish...It wasn't bad and wasn't great either. I then tried it in the OJ as recommended and it was far more palatable then. I can't say I felt any different after using it for a few days but will keep on using this product to see if there is a marked improvement in any aspect of my alertness and health. -

My family and I recieved a sample of these bars from ChickAdvisor to try and boy were we happy to do so! The wrapper was easy to read and attractive to the eye. Those are things that I look for in what I buy. My kids were also excited to try out this product. I unwrapped the first bar and cut it up into 5ths so that our whole family could try it at the same time. Upon first glance it looked delicious. There are a couple visible layers of chocolate and rice crisps in the bar. The bar also had a good chocolate smell to it. We all tried the bar and raved about it. The chocolate was very tasty and not fake tasting like other food bars. The fudge taste came through. I only ate part of one a few days and now a whole bar but sure felt satisfied with only eating part of it at one time. It is compact and travels well too. I highly recommend this meal replacement bar as it tastes much better than competitors. -

Thanks to @ChickAdvisor and @CND_Canada I was given the opportunity to review the new CND Vinyl Weekly Polish. I was over the moon excited to try out this polish as I had never even heard of this brand before. I have been comfortable using my usual name brand polish and have not strayed. When I was telling friends about this product -new to me- that I was about to test, there were oohs and ahh and 'I LOVE that brand'. This started my testing out on a very positive note. I was looking forward to trying the polish.
I love the look of painted toe nails and mine are coloured almost around the calendar. I was sent a bottle of polish and the top coat. At first glance I wondered about the colour. The top coat comes in a dark bottle which through me off for a minute and the polish was #161 Burnt Romance. Darker than I normally use at this time of the year.
After prepping my nails, I applied the polish. The instructions said to use 2 thin coats but I found that I needed to use 3 thin coats to have the coverage I desired. The polish went on easily without blobbing or running. The top coat was equally as easy to apply and I love the shiny polished look that resulted.
I would happily recommend this polish system to others. My colour is 'tough as nails' and lasting a long time. This is important as I don't have time to keep changing colours due to chipping.

My family and I have been eating McCain hashbrowns for year. As a busy mom of 3 kids I love how quick and easy they are to prepare for a meal. My kids loved them just browned in a frying pan with butter, while my husband and I enjoy them fried in butter with onions, peppers, ham/bacon and topped with cheese. Most of my family also garnish them with a dollop of ketchup! During Easter weekend I was in charge of preparing hashbrowns for our church's Easter Sunday breakfast. I decided to whip up some cheesy hashbrown casseroles for the congregation to enjoy. Enjoy they did! I had so many compliments on the potato dish and there were not many leftovers either. I find the price to be quite resonable and stock up when the grocery store puts the McCain hashbrowns on sale. Enjoy! -

I recieved 50g of Juicy Orange Pu-erh Tea from Davids Tea courtesy of ChickAdvisor. This little surprise was waiting for me when I opened up my box for the Garnier SkinActive Clearly Brighter Brightening & Smoothing Moisturizer and Garnier Micellar Water campaign. The tea is amazing. I have just gotten started using loose leaf tea and really love the flavour of this one. It is not overpowering and has a wonderful smell. It helps relax me after a busy day. Try it! -

I received this product form ChickAdvisor as part of the product review club. I will admit, I was apprehensive about this product and the claims made for its ability to do a tough job. Removing make-up and cleansing/toning a face is hard work! This was only my second experience with a product such as Garnier's Micellar Water product. Ironically it was the week before receiving the test kit that a cosmetologist at a local drug store had used a similar product on my face. I have been using it very regularly and have tried it with both makeup on and a naked face. I was amazed at what was on my makeup pad at the end of the day when I cleaned my so called naked face. It removed the day to day dirt build up easily. I also used it to clean my face after a full makeup application including foundation, eyeliner and mascara. The water did a decent job but did leave a trace of mascara and eyeliner. I had been involved in a community cabaret show and had stage make up on and it took 95% of that off too. I even tried using the product to take off a temporary tattoo on my 6 yr old. It actually worked not too badly. Overall, the Micellar water is non-greasy and does not leave an oily residue on you face like some other products do. It works well for day to day facial make up removal and to freshen up your face after a long day. It partners well with the Garnier SkinActive moisturizer. I will continue to use this product after my test sample is completed. -

I have spent the last week and a half trying out Garnier's brightening and smoothing moisturizer courtesy of Chick Advisor. First off, I like he size of the container and the pump works well. The pump can be twisted to the side to close for traveling. I must admit, the first time I used the product I pumped out too much moisturizer. This product has excellent coverage and only a small amount is needed. I really love the scent as well. It makes me feel happy to smell it. The smell is not overpowering but noticeable at first. My skin feels healthy and young after applying the product. My skin has a visible healthy sheen and I know tibia protected from the elements outside with the SPF. I tried applying foundation over top and had no issues. The foundation had excellent coverage due to my skin's moisture level. I highly recommend this product to others. -

I really love the Bath and Body Works foaming hand soaps. There are just too many scents to choose a favourite. I love to give them as a hostess gift since everyone needs to wash their hands. I add water to the pump as it gets closer to the bottom which had no effect on the quality of the pump. When the container is empty I add a bit of refil SoftSoap, a few dashes of essential oil and topbito Dd with water. Voila! Another foaming soap. Makes for good value! -
