I got to try this for chick advisor and I love it! It has a clean, fresh scent and a lightweight feel. After winter in the north with hard water my skin needed a good moisture boost so the lightness had me doubting at first but it actually hydrated my dry skin well. My favourite aspect has to be that it is so gentle, one of my kids gets really stinging skin over the winter and this lotion helped without making it sting more. For that reason alone I will buy it again as he can't tolerate many lotions when it is that dry. Thanks so much for helping me to discover a new fav!! -

I was super excited to try this cream. I love Vichy and I love a moisturizer with UV protection. The fragrance was nice and light but I found the texture a little heavier than I like. It took quite a while for my skin to absorb and as a busy mum I found I sometimes wiped excess off to apply my makeup. It did feel good on and didn't worsen my occasional acne though so I was really pleased with that. I would recommend to friends who like a slightly heavier cream moisturizer for sure. Thanks for the chance to try it out, #gotitfree -

I love Vichy as a brand and I was excited to try this product. The fragrance was light, as was the texture and I felt great putting it on my skin. A few weeks later though and I can't tell any difference. I'm so sad as I really wanted it to be amazing but I was disappointed. No difference in lines or firmness at all. Glad I #gotitfree to try. -

Got to try this free and it's pretty good, it is rich and creamy, no weird aftertaste and the packaging makes it great for on the go. I find it a little sweet for my taste preference but I did enjoy it as the milk on my plain bran cereal, just added enough sweet that it felt like I was eating some of my kids' cereal. Yum! -

Chocolatey goodness is the best way to describe this drink, rich flavour with very mild after taste (I know some protein drinks leave a strong after taste that isn't pleasant). The texture is rich and creamy and the portability can't be beat! Great... +
Chocolatey goodness is the best way to describe this drink, rich flavour with very mild after taste (I know some protein drinks leave a strong after taste that isn't pleasant). The texture is rich and creamy and the portability can't be beat! Great option for throwing in your bag to drink after a workout or to boost your protein at any meal! I find I stay full for much longer wth extra protein which helps me cut down on unnecessary snacking! -

As my skin ages I am trying to be more gentle with it, The Simple Kind to Skin Moisturizing Facial Wash is a good, affordable option that cleans my skin without over drying it. I am not a fan of cream cleansers and prefer one that I can use quickly in the shower so this is ideal for that too. Apply, massage, rinse, clean. -

I was lucky enough to get a chance to review the Coppertone Sunscreen Lotion for Sensitive Skin Faces...it really works! The first thing you notice when opening the product is the smell of summer, it has the fragrance of sunscreen but lighter. The next thing you experience is the texture. It is a thicker cream than I expected, and slightly oilier than i expected so I was a little hesitant at first (knowing I break out easily). Once I applied though, it absorbed quickly and easily with none of the greasy after feel I feared. The real test of course comes from continual use. With summer here early and temperatures in the high 30's to mid 40's I've been able to give it a really good test, and I am really happy with it! My skin has definitely been protected and I have not had a breakout at all!! My skin feels great and I feel great knowing it is protected. I'm going to include a picture of a bad sunburn I got at the lake one day when I forgot to apply sun screen to my body. I was very sunburned from my day in the sun on my shoulders, back, arms and chest but my face (where I had used the Coppertone Sunscreen for Sensitive Skin for Faces) was completely fine and had no burn. That's the true test for me and I'm sold. I plan to buy more when my sample runs out and highly recommend this product. -

I received this product to trial and review as a GOSH Goddess. I have worn it for a few days and here are my thoughts. I like the packaging, was easy to open but hygienically sealed which is important to me and the nail jar inspired style is cute. First off the color I received is not one I would normally wear and I will probably not use the one I have as it doesn't suit me. But I did wear it to try it out and was really impressed with the quality of the product. The colour was exactly like the little jar it comes in and it does not fade quickly. It goes on smoothly and feels soft but not sticky which is great! The shine lasted for quite a while and the colour for even longer. There was transfer onto my cup and my sons head but it wiped off easily. What loved most was how it made my lips feel. It wasn't drying at all and I had no reaction to it (which has happened to me with a few lip products before). I will definitely be looking for it in store to see if they have a shade that I would wear because the product feels so good to wear.
Thanks Chick Advisor and GOSH Cosmetics for the chance to review it!

I received this product to trial and review as a GOSH Goddess. I have worn it for a few days and here are my thoughts. I like the packaging, was easy to open but hygienically sealed which is important to me. As a mineral makeup fan I have tried many finishing powders and with my oily skin I use them most days. When I first opened the product I was nervous about how white the powder was and wondered if I would look chalky. The first application put those worries to rest. The powder is completely translucent on application and does not alter the colour of the foundation used at all. What it does do is cut shine. All. Day. Long!! With oily skin I am used to reapplying powder throughout the day to eliminate shine but I didn't have to do this once! I used the powder as both a primer and a finisher (so I applied before and after my mineral foundation) and I am so impressed with the shine free finish. I am so excited about this product and highly recommend it!

I am a huge mascara fan as I have really fair lashes, this product is a keeper! From the very first swipe I was sold. Often the first swipes of mascara from a new tube can be clumpy and over loaded with product, some mascaras don't get a smooth application until they are almost gone. This one was smooth from the first swipe with no clumping and good separation. I like a fairly natural look most days so a single coat was perfect, it added volume and definition without looking overdone. I can easily see that a second or third coat would give a great dramatic look for evenings out and look forward to trying that next time I'm headed out! I have tried many different mascara brands and keep going back to the same ones because so many are disappointing but I really love this one, it's a keeper!
