I was absolutely craving full fat extra sugar peanut butter cookies or chocolate peanut butter cups for a few days when I received a box from chickadvisor containing powerbar plant protein bars in the three flavors and two bars each flavor. I carefully read the nutrition info and was extremely impressed that no extra sugar were used as well as fake sweetners. I immediately dove into the dark chocolate peanut butter bar and oh my gosh it was so dang delicious. It answered my cravings perfectly and I didn’t have to feel guilty about giving in. I like that the bar is lower carb than most protein bars less sugar and does not. Compromise test at all. I will be buying these again absolutely. Two thumbs up !👍🏼 👍🏼 -

This is a perfect example of salt and sweet. I love how there are no added sugars or artificial sweeteners in the bar. The cashews are heavenly. So good. My husband and I live a very clean lifestyle but both of us like these bars. I will absolutely buy them again. I received three flavors of the powerbar plant protein to try and write an honest opinion about them. -

Beautiful healthy fatty nuts with no artificial sweetners or extra sugar added makes these bars a delight to eat. My husband and I eat fairly clean and live a low carb, no sugar lifestyle yet I would eat these bars. Most protein bars are full of added sugars and carbs where they are no longer healthy for anyone’s diet. The sea salt with the dark chocolate is sinful in the best way possible. I was sent two samples each of three flavors to try before I buy. As I. Mentioned earlier both my husband and I really enjoyed these. -

I was able to try this almond milk Breyers peanut butter vanilla ice cream for free. Honestly this is my favourite non-dairy out there. You get a lot more for what you're paying than you do with other brands and I love the peanut butter swirled into the vanilla in this one. So satisfying. It is delish!
I have since purchased both the Oreo and PB and vanilla breyers ice cream. It’s my families new favorite. I probably prefer the PB and vanilla the best still though.

I wear sunscreen daily because I am extremely sensitive to the sun and that is why I picked Neutrogena Ultra Sheer Dry-Touch Sunblock SPF 110. I have lupus and the sun can actually cause my Lupus to flare. ☹ This sunscreen does work and it makes my skin feel soft. But......
I can't wear black or dark clothing well I have this on. I get nasty little white balls of sunscreen stuck to all of my clothes. It doesn't matter if I rub my sunscreen in completely and wait at least five minutes to dress. This may not be as big of problem if you only needed sunscreen for a vacation etc... but as I mentioned earlier I need to wear sunscreen daily no matter what. I can't walk around looking like I need to use a lint roller.
I would have rated this lower but it does work, it does not clog my pores or go on streaky. I really want to love it 110% please Neutrogena fix the little white balls.

I received a coupon to redeem for a free a sample of the Motts Fruitsations + Fiber Tropical from Chick advisor- all opinions are mine alone.
I loved the taste of the Tropical applesauce with added Fiber. It was fantastic. I put it in the fridge and had it chilled it was so good that way. It had perfect balance between Tropical fruits and the apples. I love that I can add more Fiber into my diet without thinking about it or hating the taste.
This flavor was very difficult to track down it has been sold out at 3 grocery stores in my town for a few weeks so when I saw that it was in stock I bought six of them. My not so guilty pleasure. ☺️
So I guess if you haven't figured it out I love this applesauce.

This is a perfect snack for both Mom and baby. I love that there is no added sugar and extra fiber. The raspberry gives you a nice tart taste which is perfectly paired with the apples. I love being able to throw these in your bag and having them as aa snack well out. I also grabbed this fruitsation when I was craving something sweet and I felt satisfied.
All in all this is a you betcha I'm purchasing these fruitsations applesauces!!! Two

This Maybelline New York Facestudio Master Blush color and Highlight kit is awesome. It absolutely is on par with more expensive palettes that I own. It is pigmented, but not too pigmented that it is hard to use or blend out. The highlighter actually shows up and gives you a great glow. I absolutely love the colors, great for any look!! I find that you only need a little bit on your blush brush and I only use the first three colors. The highlighter and the peachy blush and light pink. The fourth color is just a little to dark. Still for the price this is a fantastic buy and I will most definitely buy this palette. I was able to try this for free from Chick advisor. -

I tried Maybelline New York the Colossal Big Shot mascara for free from Chick advisor but all opinions are mine. Anytime my lashes can have mega volume in one coat I am a happy lady.
The mascara wand or brush is full and easy to use. I applied my first coat and it looked decent nothing spectacular but my lashes were coated. I applied the second coat and my lashes were so clumpy and gross looking. I took off the mascara and tried it again and when I applied the second coat I used a plain wand to comb out my lashes. They looked just ok. After four hours I had flakes all under my eyes and it looked like I had zero mascara on my actual eyelashes.
I tried the mascara for a week with the same results just so/so on the volume and terrible longevity. Who wants to go to all that trouble to look like rocky the raccoon instead of a girl boss.
My opinion is to skip the Colossal Big shot mascara there are too many other good mascaras that are both budget friendly and more high end. It's a pass for me.

I was excited to see the Maybelline New York 24k Nudes eyeshadows. The shades are so beautiful and anytime that you can find a dupe for eyeshadow palettes that are triple the price is a great day! I was lucky enough to receive a free eyeshadow palette for from Chic Advisor to test out but all opinions are my own.
The 12 shades are very earthy and mostly matte with a few shimmering shades. The palette shades are perfect for anyone who prefers a nude or natural look. It was disappointing that the palette only comes with an eyeshadow applicator with the sponge tips since i only use eyeshadow brushes now.
I applied the eyeshadow with and without using a eyeshadow or eyelid primer. I will talk about how the shadow worked with the primer from now on.- The base color was very patchy and had a little too much shimmer or glitter for me. I found myself going over my lids a few times to get the color even and I felt it still really wasn't but I looked very sparkly (which is not always a bad thing.) Next I used a medium brown over the lid and the darker brown to cut in the crease of my eye. These colors were muddy and didn't blend nicely together. It took again multiple tries to get and color to show up with out being blotchy. Not willing to give up I attempted a new look the next day- I used a beige all over my lid again I had primer on my lids. I wanted to try to see if I could get a saturated eyeshadow look. I used the gold on my lid and this is the only color I found that showed up and didn't take much work. I used a brush and tapped the color onto the lid then in the cut crease I wanted to use the olive green shade. This shade was again muddy and took a few tries to get the look I wanted. I died wet my brush with setting spray and use the olive green shade and gold as eyeliner and that worked fine. I also used the brown with setting spray on my eyebrows to fill them in.
Next I used the palette on my 60+ mother with using an eyelid primer. The results were the same patchy in places and settled in a few of her fine lines around her eyes. It did just an okay job. The shimmer in the base color was again too much and it took a few tries to get the shadow to not look so muddy.
My overall consensus is that the 24k eyeshadow looks great but doesn't perform like the palettes double or triple the price. I would rather spend my money and get a good quality eyeshadow that I don't have to fiddle with to get good consistency and coverage on the first try. So for me this is a pass. I will be happy to try the Maybelline 24k eyeshadows again if they improve the shadow.
My 16 year old niece received a gift and she loves the palette. It is perfect for beginners.
I have a photo attached of my mothers makeover wearing only Maybelline products besides eye and skin primers. She looks great!
