I recieved this product for free as part of a review club. I didn't have too many expectations as I haven't use this type of product before. Seems like a lazy way to attempt to wash your hair, it's basically hair spray that absorbs some oil but won't actually leave you clean. I don't like the smell and residue. Doesn't replace a regular hair washing that's for sure. -

I received this product for free as part of Chickadvisor's review club. I've often purchased coffee from McDonald's and now being able to enjoy it at home or at the office with my Keurig maker is amazing and convenient.
This coffee has a strong enough flavor that won't dilute even if you enjoy drinking it with lots of milk or creamers. I personally like adding flavors and find that the coffee has a distinct enough aroma that shines through. It's doesn't have a bad aftertaste and is simple enough for everyone to enjoy. Very pleasant and rich aroma. The Kcup format makes it easy to carry to the office or use everyday at home. I love it!

I received this product for free as part of Chickadvisor's review club. I have tried Neutrogena products in the past and I was very surprised with this Bright Boost cream since it was better than expected. The cream is a light gel that is pleasant and light. Although it is an overnight cream, it does not feel heavy or sticky like other products I'm used to. The texture is just like gel and absorbs quickly without a greasy residue.
I used this for a week and felt like my skin was noticeably brighter and more moisturized. I think it is ideal to wear during the day too and in the summer since it won't weigh you down.

I received this product for free as part of Chickadvisor's review club. I've tried Dial soaps before but never in a foam sort, and this is also the first time I've seen "micellar" soap. Micellar molecules attract and lift dirt easily when used in its water form, to remove make up for example. This hand wash is gentle, smells great and lathers well. I'm not sure I can sense any difference compared to a regular foaming wash without micellar water, however I do appreciate it doesn't leave my hands dried out.
The only drawback with this type of foam is that you have a tendency to use a bit more. If you have kids, they may be tempted to pump more than necessary just because it's fun.

This is a new product that launched for summer 2020. It's a great sunscreen that you can use on the go, the bottle fits in your purse and it's ideal for quick reapplications during the day. Although it is a face mist, it is a preferrable that you spray and then rub it in a little. This product is oil free, but does leave a slight sheen on your skin. You will have to let it absorb for a few minutes. The scent is not overpowering and the texture is thin. Much better than a thick cream or lotion. I would use this around the neck and even on my arms when I want something light. -

I am used to using Becel for everyday cooking and have been doing so for years. I love margarine over butter when you want to spread it easily on toasts or sandwiches.
The new Becel plant based bricks are a much closer alternative to butter if you are looking for a firmer, slightly richer flavor. They are ideal for baking as the bricks are the same size as butter and don't need much measuring if your recipe calls for a whole brick, half a brick or a quarter, I find it easier to portion out rather than scooping it out of a large tub.
The new bricks come in unsalted or salted, I opted for the salted version as I love eating it on bread and found the flavor to be a little less salty than the original Becel in a tub, and a little less firm than real butter.
I've cooked it with it as part of breakfast when frying eggs for example or meats and it works very well in the pan.
Great alternative, but the price point is a little steep, I think the original tub is a lot more economical. If these were under 3$ a brick, it would be a real contender for me.

This light gel cream is perfect to use on its own or under make up. I use it during the day and at night and it's a lovely texture. It melts into the skin very well and doesn't leave you oily or sticky. I would however not mix this with the serum since that could make it too heavy.
I feel like the Bright Boost name is more of a branding than anything else. I don't notice that my skin gets visibly brighter or healthier looking. Perhaps this needs to be used for weeks or months to notice a difference.
I would still recommend this moisturizer since the texture and scent are very pleasant. It's easy to use as part of your everyday routine.

I'm always looking for a good SPF and was glad to find something that could boost some radiance into my face. Similarly to the serum in this Bright Boost collection, this lotion also has a lot of shimmer in it, so that when you apply it to your face, or your hands, there is a light golden glow. This is a make up effect and what gives your skin that instant shine.
Applying too much can make you look very oily and you have to wash your hands as the shimmer is too apparent.
Other than the shimmer, I didn't notice that this spf moisturizer did anything special to my skin. It did stay put and wasn't overly thick or oily throughout the day, however it does have that typical sunscreen smell, despite the added fragrance in this formula.
Do not wear this if you need real sun coverage, the fact that it has so much shimmer means you're likely not to use as much and not reapply.

I received this product for free as part of Chickadvisor's free product review campaign. I tried the whole set of 4 products I was gifted and unfortunately this was my least favorite.
This serum is meant to wear under a moisturizer but I can't imagine combining multiple products with this as a base so the serum felt sticky and oily. It also has a lot of shimmer which creates that healthy glow, but it acts sort of as a cover up. I didn't like all the glitter in it and had to wash my hands after applying since they were all golden.
The bottle applicator is a good idea in theory but the tear drop type applicator can get messy. I would have preferred this to be in a normal pump bottle so I can dispense the product on my fingers directly.
I didn't feel like the serum was light enough or comfortable on my skin and other than the physical shimmering particles, my skin didn't feel brighter or healed in any way.
This is a product that can mask and temporarily revive your skin but it doesn't seem to treat it or transform it inside out.

I loved that this polish delivered on its promise of brighter skin. I found the micro polish particles to be surprisingly abrasive therefore I would not recommend this for sensitive skin. Perhaps I used too much of the product as well since I noticed some redness once I was done. Particularly around the eyes and cheek, this polish can be a little too rough. Make sure you use just a pea sized amount and limit usage to once or twice a week.
Instantly after rinsing my face, my skin felt brighter and looked fresh. I loved the delicate scent but wished the product had a foaming agent, instead it just feels creamy and not exactly like a face wash. If you have oily skin or any make up residue, it is best to finish off with a mild cleanser.
