First off I want to note that my rating on price point is based on the $19.99 price point I have seen it as, at various drugstores, not the $50 price tag Ampoe and the Chick Advisor website list it at. I so wanted to like this product. I had read a lot of hype about it and was incredibly thankful to be selected to try it for free. Unfortunately, despite following all of the instructions and trying multiple times to make this product work it just didn't do anything for my feet. I saw no noticeable difference or reduction of callouses on my feet and if you pressed to hard to get a deeper scrub the device stops (this was stated in the instructions, but I do consider it to be a downfall). You aren't supposed to use the device on one spot for more than 3-4 seconds; however, I don't see how my feet could possibly be "buffed away" and "beautifully smooth" in "minutes" This won't replace a pedicure or foot peel for people with minimally but tough to tackle calloused feet. I think this might be better suited towards people with extremely cracked feet, or at least callouses that are easily scrubbed down. -

I can't speak to the effectiveness of this so I just gave five stars, I'm not exactly sure how to tell that a multivitamin is "working" but I can speak to the taste. These remind me of wine gums, these are definitely for adults and not children as the taste is more bitter and less sweet compared to other gummy vitamins out there. I love gummy vitamins though because they are so much easier than swallowing pills. I personally have a very big sweet tooth so these taste a bit bitter to me and I don't think I would repurchase based on that, but that is in no way a reflection of the product, but rather my preference of taste. -

This product was awesome. I hadn't had my legs waxed in years. I remember being all red and it hurting so badly. With this product it smelled great, and it was really easy to use. I think I could have used less prorduct because it was a bit sticky, but the end clean up was easy and there wasn't any pain. I didn't really understand the directions that well but what I did was apply the wax on one area and then use the same strip without applying more wax on an adjacent area and it worked for up to 5 ties depending on how much hair I had in the area and how quickly I was able to press the strip down and pull. I highly recommend this product to anyone looking to get red of leg hair. My only complaint would be that I missed a few spots and then washed my legs so I was unable to reapply the wax, since you need dry skin. That issue is more my fault than the fault of the wax though. I highly recommend this product and will repurchase. -

I received this toothpaste in the Chick Advisor Crest Pro-Health Campaign and was very excited to try it out. I had read reviews about this toothpaste causing allergic reactions and tasting awful so I was a little (not too much) worried about any negative effects. I am pleased to say that I didn't have any allergic reactions (i.e. no white stringy stuff in my mouth) and I enjoyed the taste of this toothpaste. I like when my toothpaste has a very strong minty taste because it always makes my mouth feel very clean.
I brush my teeth anywhere from 2-3 times a day depending on if I come home for lunch or not. I didn't notice any whitening effects but I also didn't notice my teeth getting yellow so I guess I broke even on that. I usually use whitening toothpaste from Crest and I still think I prefer that to this toothpaste but I am a weirdo who is obsessed with white teeth so it isn't anything against this product. I would highly recommend this product to anyone who is looking for a new toothpaste and doesn't want to opt for a whitening line. I don't think you can go wrong with this toothpaste. It s very hard to assess many of the claims such as anti-cavities and anti-gingivitis especially if you aren't suffering from these or prone to them but I hope that this toothpaste does live up to those claims because if it does - boy oh boy, this toothpaste is amazing.

I received this in the Chick Advisor campaign and I think this is the best manual toothbrush I have used in years. I loved that it cleans my teeth way better than any other manual toothbrush but it still doesn't compare to my electric toothbrush. I didn't notice the plastic gum simulators do anything for my gums - maybe I was just using the toothbrush wrong. I also found the tongue and gum cleaner to be useless and I preferred brushing my tongue to using the back of the toothbrush. I tried using the tongue cleaner and every time I had to go over it with the brush to actually get the gunk out of there. If you need a good toothbrush for camping or if you don't use an electric toothbrush and you are looking for a new manual toothbrush, I would highly recommend this to anyone.

This mouthwash claims to kill germs, help prevent plaque, help prevent gingivitis, keep teeth cleaner and not have a "burning sensation of alcohol."
I'm not sure about all the claims but i did find my mouth felt very clean after using it and I love when my mouth feels extra fresh. I wasn't a fan of the rule stating "Do not eat or drink anything for 30 minutes after use." I find after use my mouth feels very dry and I'm thirsty and it's nearly impossible to not drink water afterwards. I also found that this mouthwash left a blue colour on both my teeth and tongue which is not at all what I need when I'm rushing out the door for school.
I found that through my week of using this product I drank water almost every time right after and most of the time I had to brush off the blue colouring from my teeth. I guess it's hard to see the true results when altering the directed use but if given the choice I think I would prefer a Crest or Listerine whitening mouthwash that doesn't leave a colour in my mouth.
I will add that it still left a minty sensation which is the only sensation I ever feel with alcohol mouthwashes so it didn't "taste" or "feel" any different than a regular mouthwash either. I wish there was a "maybe" thumb for recommendation since I wouldn't go out of my way to recommend it but I wouldn't go out of my way to say it sucks either.
I was very happy to take part in this campaign and hope to try many more products through Chick Advisor in the years to come.

I don't like this body wash at all. It feels a bit greasy and doesn't make me feel clean. The scent is okay, but as other reviewers have pointed out, it doesn't last long. This is supposed to improve your skin in terms of softness with regular use, and with regular use until the bottle was nearly done, I didn't notice any change in my skin. I would much rather spend a few more bucks and grab something from Lush. -

This lip balm doesn't only sit on the top of your lips like most products. It really gets deep down and moisturizes your lips for all day softness. That being said there is a "waxy" layer on the top of your lips as well for further protection - in a good way. This is one of my go-to lip balms when my lips are chapped, especially when it's due to cold weather. -

I love this mascara and refuse to use anything else. Every time I try another mascara I always come back to this one. It does everything it promises, it lengthens and adds volume while separating the lashes well. Compared to other mascaras I would say this gives the most natural looking lashes but by adding more coats you can get a more dramatic look as it is very buildable. -

This product claims to soften and relieve dry hands even after several washes and, and help nail cuticle strength. I'm not exactly sure what cuticle strength is but I can say it does soften my hands (and my boyfriends VERY rough hands) almost instantly and has a lasting effect. My cuticles have always been really broken and unpleasant to look at. When I use this product my cuticles look nicer and just based on that I would recommend this to anyone, not to mention the amazing softening effect it has on my hands. :) -
