I received this product in exchange for my honest review. At first bite these bars are delicious and taste like cake, but like other reviews stated, the texture of this product is quite powdery tasting, making it difficult to swallow. This bar also tasted like it was packed with sugar which made me want to eat several at a time. I think this bar tasted too much like junk food for me to believe that it is healthy and it sparked cravings in me that healthier bars tend to subside. I probably won't buy this product, despite lemon poppyseed being an amazing flavour. -

I received this product for free in exchange for my honest review. These bars had a different texture than I was used to in a protein bar. They tasted like little cake bars. I can't say if these gave me any more energy, but they did keep me full for a couple of hours and they taste amazing. Although they say they are reduced sugar they tasted like they are packed with sugar and are probably not the best choice for someone who is trying to stop eating sugary foods.The taste of these alone had me wanting to eat more, which I foresee as dangerous. -

I received this product for free in exchange for my honest review. This body wash is wonderful. It smells great, but not too strong. It also lathers a lot without needing too much product. I don't really like the square bottle design but that isn't a purchasing deciding factor. This body wash also cleaned well without leaving any residue on my skin, and actually felt quite moisturizing. -

I received this product for free in exchange for my honest review. This product said to mix it with whole milk; however, I only had skim milk which could have decreased some of the intended results. For example, it is supposed to be a meal replacement but this only kept me full for an hour or so. The taste on the other hand was great - much better than what I expected pretty much tasted like any powdered hot chocolate mix. I think this is better for a mid morning snack as opposed to a meal replacement. -

I received this product from ChickAdvisor for free to try in exchange for my honest review. This product was very oily, so I recommend using it in the shower. It was extremely hydrating, especially after a long day at the beach.I'm not sure about sun protection since I also used other sun protection products when I went out, but it was a great after skin product - not sticky like some of the other after sun products out there. I found this difficult to work into my skin and ended up using a lot of product per application when using it dry which is another reason I recommend using it in the shower instead. The price point of this product is steep, especially for part-time workers or students. I personally wouldn't repurchase, but for someone who can afford the product I definitely recommend it. -

I received this product from ChickAdvisor in exchange of my honest review. This product had a slightly perfumed scent that I wasn't fond of, but that is just because I am used to tropical smelling sunscreen. The thickness was perfect and easy to apply. This sunscreen was very white and did make my skin appear pale upon application. I was protected from the sun though: I was at the beach for hours and only reapplied once and didn't burn at all. To be honest I barely tanned, which for me was a "con", but then again, my skin is that much safer from skin cancer. I found I used a lot of the product for one application, but you are supposed to do that with sunscreen anyway. That being said, that is a lot of product to use in one application for a $30 bottle of sunscreen. Although this product did work extremely well, I wouldn't repurchase only because it was so expensive. If you have disposable income this might be the product for you. -

First off, I received this product from ChickAdvisor for free in exchange for my honest review. The first thing I noticed when I saw this product was that it was tiny; however, it should be noted that a little goes a long way. It comes out runny, and it feels very oily. Putting it on my face was also a challenge since the product was a liquid and didn't rub in well. I understand what Vichy was trying to do by making this product extremely thin, but it ended up being harder to use than a regular sun lotion. I will say that this did not break my skin out, which is a great selling point for me since I have relatively sensitive skin, but the price is not right. I think Vichy needs to go back to the drawing board on this one. -

I received this toothbrush for free from ChickAdvisor in exchange for my honest review. This product lives up to all of it's claims, my teeth look and feel cleaner and brighter after each use, and I do think the value of the toothbrush is great.
I do think being battery operated it's a plus if you are traveling, but annoying for at home use since you can't charge it and have to buy batteries. I'm not sure what the battery life is like but so far it hasn't died.
Additionally, I have used an electric toothbrush in the past and this toothbrush is MUCH bulkier both inside and outside of your mouth and MUCH louder than any of the other electric toothbrushes I have encountered. To the point that I just use my regular toothbrush at the gym becuase I like to brush my teeth in the shower at the gym. Unfortunately this brush is so incredibly loud that I am afraid that people would think I have a different type of electronic device in the shower.
I think this toothbrush is best for people that travel a lot and/or looking for a cheap and incredibly effective alternative to the much pricier electric toothbrushes on the market.

I received these Adrien Gagnon Super Energex liquids from Chick Advisor for free in exchange of my honest review.
Package: The product is a liquid contained in plastic tubes that are connected together. I needed scissors to disconnect the products from each other. I wish it had been easier to open the actual product. There are perforations at the tip to break off to open the actual product.
Smell: The liquid smells very herbal/medicinal.
Taste: The taste is very strong, even with juice you could taste it. It was also herbal/medicinal tasting.
I actually didn't find these helped me with energy throughout the day. I had some energy in the morning, but by the afternoon I was ready to crash and have a nap.

I received these Adrien Gagnon Decadent Fudge Nutriforme Bars from Chick Advisor for free in exchange of my honest review. I really enjoyed these bars, I have included a breakdown of the product below.
Package: These bars come in a box and are individually wrapped in foil like regular granola bars. The were easy to open.
Look: It looks pretty big compared to your average granola bar, but keep in mind this is a meal replacement, not a regular protein bar or granola bar.
Smell: These bars smell delicious, just like a chocolate bar or other chocolate bar type thing (brownies etc.).
Taste: These bars taste like a chocolate bar/candy. But there is a lot of sugar, not sure I would use these in the future, but these for sure taste amazing.
Texture: These bars were super smooth, not grainy and there was no weird aftertaste that a lot of meal replacements, or fitness bars have.
Who Should Buy These: People who don't have time for breakfast in the morning, people who aren't concerned about their sugar intake, people who are looking to manage their weight, people who want a delicious meal replacement alternative to the typical shakes.
