I received a bottle of Love Beauty and Planet Tea Tree Oil & Vetiver Radical Refresher Conditioner free as part of the ChickAdvisor Product Review Club #gotitfree
Love Beauty and Planet Tea Tree Oil & Vetiver Conditioner has a lot of the same great qualities the shampoo has - no parabens, silicones, dyes, animal testing, etc. and that same great refreshing scent! While I love the way my hair smells after using it, I have noticed it's much more difficult to brush my hair after showering due to tangles. Whereas other conditioners would be able to smooth my hair, this one doesn't seem to be able to do that. Perhaps it's just my thin, tangle prone hair - I'd love to see how other people are finding it. That being said, I like the final product the Love Beauty and Planet system provides - my hair has been looking great and quite a bit less greasy in the two weeks I've been using it on a regular basis. I would certainly recommend this to friends and would probably purchase the conditioner again. I'm hoping with continued use my hair will get stronger and better behaved because I would love to continue using this product line!
Thanks Love Beauty and Planet and ChickAdvisor!

I received a bottle of Love Beauty and Planet Tea Tree Oil and Vetiver Radical Refresher Shampoo for free as part of the ChickAdvisor Product Review Club #gotitfree
I'm so glad that ChickAdvisor has provided us all with the chance to try Love Beauty and Planet products. I have naturally quite greasy hair so I was happy to have the opportunity to try this shampoo that promises to refresh and cleanse hair from all of the bad things that bring it down. In the short time I've been using it, I've noticed that I could almost get away with not washing my hair everyday, as my hair doesn't look greasy in the mornings. The smell of tea tree oil and vetiver is quite divine but not too strong after your hair is dry, and the smell doesn't linger very strongly either. As with their body wash which I also tested, I love the cruelty, paraben, silicone, and dye free formula they use, and would highly recommend their products to friends. I intend to purchase them again and look forward to seeing how much healthier my hair looks the longer I use them.

I received a bottle of Love Beauty and Planet Daily Detox body wash free as part of the ChickAdvisor Product Review Club #gotitfree
Every time I use it I come out of the shower smelling and feeling so extraordinarily fresh and clean! I feel great about using Love Beauty and Planet products for a number of reasons including that they're: cruelty free, paraben free, organic, silicone and sulfate free, and contain ethically sourced ingredients. The tea tree oil and vetiver (which I had never smelled before, or really known about) are very relaxing and invigorating scents and smell fantastic, especially when used together with the shampoo and conditioner. I would recommend this body wash to others and intend to purchase it again without a doubt. I'm also interested in trying the other scents/varieties they have in their line. I've seen their products readily available at many of the stores I shop at so I don't see there being any problem with availability. The prices are roughly in line with similar organic products, and I would say they are worth the price considering their quality.

I received a Breyers Delights scoop and coupon to redeem for a free Breyers Delights in Vanilla Bean from the ChickAdvisor Product Review Club #gotitfree
Although it took a few different stores to find one that had Breyers Delights in stock, it was definitely worth it! At 16g of protein and 280 calories for the entire container, I would buy this again without a doubt. I thought maybe the flavour and texture would be affected but the vanilla bean came through and the texture was fantastic! It was creamy without being too heavy and my favourite flavour of vanilla bean was divine, with real vanilla bean being noticeable in the flavour and in the ice cream itself. No bowl is required for this one! I could have easily kept eating and finished the container. I would recommend Breyers Delights to friends and will certainly be purchasing it again. The $6.99 price is a little bit steep but not too much more than comparable sizes, and it has the definite advantage in terms of protein and calorie count!

I received a package of Knorr Selects Tomato, Basil and Garlic with Volanti Pasta for free from Family Rated in exchange for my honest review #gotitfree
While I was very grateful for the opportunity to try this pasta, unfortunately, as with the other Knorr products I received, this one really wasn't up to scratch either. The sauce thickened a bit better and quicker than with the pesto volanti pasta, but the noodles never really softened and the taste just wasn't very strong. I like that the new Knorr Selects don't contain preservatives, artificial flavours, or colours, and that they direct customers to use water rather than milk. However, using milk and olive oil rather than milk and butter or margarine would have improved the taste and texture. Also, despite using the olive oil and stirring as directed the pasta still really stuck to the saucepan. Overall, I would not purchase again and would not recommend to friends.

I was very grateful to receive three Knorr products including this Knorr One Skillet Meal free from Family Rated in exchange for my honest opinion #gotitfree
Unfortunately whether through the way I made it or the directions/ingredients of the product, the rice and quinoa tasted both undercooked and burnt :(. I think using milk instead of water would have made for a tastier, thicker formula. I had never purchased steak strips before so I'm glad that testing these also made me try something new! I would be willing to try it again with milk or more water or perhaps in a different pan because I love quinoa, rice, and steak, and appreciate the concept of a one skillet meal as I don't have a lot of time to cook.
I personally wouldn't recommend it but it could be a cooking error or a water vs. milk error that caused the problems, so I'm looking forward to reading other reviews.

I received a package of garlic pesto with volanti pasta free as part of the ChickAdvisor Product Review Club #gotitfree
I enjoyed how quick and easy it was to make the pasta, and that Knorr is dedicated to leaving out preservatives and artificial colours and flavours in their products. I was impressed that you only needed to add olive oil and water as usually their products require milk and butter. I liked the taste of the pesto and garlic but found that the sauce never really thickened up despite following the directions and then letting the pasta sit for a longer period after. As a result, the pasta was a bit more watery than I would like which detracted from the taste a bit. However, I still think this would be a great side with chicken, beef, lots of veggies or maybe a simple grilled cheese sandwich, especially if one is able to thicken the sauce perhaps by using less water than directed.
I would recommend these to friends and family based on the ease and quick nature of the preparation and taste. I will probably purchase again and would love to try other variations from the same line.

I received this Nude by Nature mineral powder foundation free as part of the ChickAdvisor Product Review Club in exchange for my honest opinion #gotitfree
The first thing that struck me, besides the great natural cruelty-free ingredients, was the attractive design of the package. The copper lid is reflective and also includes a platform to pat off excess powder. There are a wide variety of shades available and the ivory w2 I selected was a great match for the winter. The container also includes a handy mesh sieve to only decant some of the product at a time. The product is long lasting but did look a bit heavy on some spots of enlarged pores on my face. However, a couple of quick swipes of the foundation on my face makes my complexion more even and prepares me for my day.
I would recommend these powder foundations and intend to try other products in their range.

I received this brush free as part of the ChickAdvisor Product Review Club in exchange for my honest review #gotitfree
I don't often think about the brushes I use as I am more concerned with the products themselves, so it was nice to have a high quality brush to use with my new products. The bristles are very soft and of good quality materials. The brush is easy to use and I am going to use the original packaging to store it to keep it clean and so as not to damage the bristles. It was great at picking up generous amounts of powder foundation and applying it evenly. I would recommend nude by nature brushes and products to friends and am interested in trying other makeup accessories.

I received this primer free as part of the ChickAdvisor Product Review Club #gotitfree
I was very excited to try Nude by Nature because I am always looking for more natural products to test out. The brand was started in Australia and I'm just starting to see the products show up in drugstores here in Canada. I found this primer to be quite effective in providing a canvas for foundation and for making my makeup last a little bit longer. I know a little goes a long way with primer, but the price point for such a small tube made me give a lower value score. I can appreciate it costing more to have natural ingredients though.
My only concern with the effectiveness is the printer's ability to shrink pores, as other primers I've tried have. I found this didn't do much for pore shrinkage, which made the powder not sit smoothly in some areas.
I have already recommended Nude by Nature products to friends and would like to try more products from their line.
