I received NIVEA Q10 Firming Body Oil for free as part of the Chickadvisor Product Review Club for free in exchange for my honest review.
At first I assumed this oil would be a mess to apply, I found that it ended up being easy to apply, no mess. I put it on after my shower before work and I liked that it didn't leave me feeling oily, or transfer over on to my clothes.
Like the other Nivea Q10 products though I didn't like the scent. It was a bit too flowery and bothered me throughout the day.
It did absorb quickly in to my skin, and did feel like it helped to moisturize it. I didn't really notice a difference though to the firmness of my skin or the look of stretch marks. It wasn't really that impressive so I plan to just stick to my lotions I already use.

I wasn't too wowed by this lotion. It's not bad, but I found it to be comparable to your average lotions available.
I used it mainly on my legs, it did a great job of leaving them soft moisturized. I found a little lotion went a long way, it is a fairly thin / watery lotion, I probably needed only one pump per leg.
I wasn't a fan of the scent, it was too flowery to me. I sit on the side of my bed and put lotion on in the morning before work and I found that when I went to bed at night I could still smell it on my sheets which bothered me.
Personally I didn't notice any difference with my skin over the few weeks. I don't think it felt or looked anymore firmer than it did when I started. I probably wouldn't get this lotion again because of the scent, but overall it's a decent lotion.

Of the three products I received I liked this one the most. It's a thicker lotion and absorbed quickly. It didn't leave my hands feeling greasy and they felt so nice and soft.
The size of the bottle is great as well, perfect for keeping in my purse to have with me at all times.
I wasn't a huge fan of the scent, I found it to be a little too flowery for my liking. Since I only used it on my hands it wasn't too overpowering but I probably wouldn't buy it again in the future just because flowery scents tend to bother me.

I received PowerBar's ProteinPlus Reduced Sugar Lemon Poppy Seed for free as part of the Chickadvisor Product Review Club for free in exchange for my honest review.
I so badly wanted to enjoy these! I've been looking for a quick grab and go breakfast that would keep my full so I had high hopes with this one. Another bonus was that they are gluten free and low in sugar.
Unfortunately I am not a fan. First off the texture of these bars was not enjoyable. I found them to be very dry and chalky / gritty. It took a bit to get it down. I usually love lemon flavoured food items but this was almost too lemony, it was also a little two sweet for my liking and I didn't really get much of a poppy seed taste.
Another no go for me was how it made me feel. While these are low in sugar they do contain Sugar Alcohol, I found that these made me really gassy later in the day and I think it is from the Sugar Alcohols included. Definitely not a fun feeling.
I do have to say though that they did keep my full. I ate one in the car on my way to work and it did keep me satisfied until my lunch hour. Though I don't know that it was worth the having to force myself to eat it and the tummy problems later in the day.
I won't be eating these bars again.

Unfortunetly I am not a fan. First off the texture of these bars was not enjoyable. I found them to be very dry and chalky / gritty. The chocolate peanut butter was not as bad as the lemon flavour but I still wasn't impressed. this flavour also was not as sweet as the lemon so I did like that.
Another no go for me was how it made me feel. While these are low in sugar they do contain Sugar Alcohol, I found that these made me really gassy later in the day and I think it is from the Sugar Alcohols included. Definitely not a fun feeling.
I do have to say though that they did keep my full. I ate one in the car on my way to work and it did keep me satisifed until my lunch hour. Though I don't know that it was worth the having to force myself to eat it and the tummy problems later in the day.

I received Maybelline New York's Fit Me Matte + Poreless Foundation for free as part of the Chickadvisor Product Review Club for free in exchange for my honest review.
I would say this product was average, it didn't quite blow me away but I would probably use it again.
I found it was pretty easy to apply with a foundation brush. It comes in a glass bottle that you kind of have to pour out to use, a pump or squeeze bottle/tip would have been more ideal. I ended up using my finger on top of the bottle to get some out which I would then dab on my face and then blend with my brush. It went on very light, I felt like I needed to use quite a bit to get full coverage, a change from my usual foundation (Mary Kay) where a little goes a long way.
The colour matched my skin tone perfectly and blended in really well. I wouldn't say my skin looked poreless but it definitely made a difference in smoothing out a few imperfections.
I will continue to use the bottle and see how long it lasts. It's definitely a decent and cheaper alternative to other foundations, but if I need to use more than I usually do I might just stick with my regular brand as I don't have to use as much.

Before getting this item I didn't even know brow highlighter was a thing. Oh my goodness. I am obsessed. I love it!!
It has an angled applicator which I found was really easy to apply. Before trying it I was nervous about not doing it right or it being really noticeable. But all was good! I just glided it on below and above my brow and patted it with my finger to blend, easy peasy. It really made my eyebrows pop and brightened up my brow bone.
I would definitely keep using and buy this one again!

I enjoyed using this blush and highlight kit. I've never used highlighter before and I think it will now be added to my routine.
The kit comes with a good colour palette that you can mix to get other shades. I loeed using the highlighting colour with the blush, I felt that it gave my skin a dewy glow.
One thing I would have liked to see was a brush or applicator! From past experience with Maybelline products they usually include one with their eye-shadows and blushes and for some reason didn't with this one. Not a huge deal as I'd usually just use one of my own brushes, but it's nice to have for when you're on the go and don't want to bring your whole makeup kit!
Despite the lack of applicator I would definitely buy this one again.

I received Maybelline New York's Color Sensational Inti-Matte Nudes Lipstick for free as part of the Chickadvisor Product Review Club for free in exchange for my honest review.
The colour I received was Brown Blush. I wanted to add this lipstick to my daily routine but couldn't bring myself to do it. The colour just wasn't me. I found it to be too brown, very 90's-esque.
It did apply really nice and was very creamy, it didn't feel heavy on. The colour is very pigmented so you don't need a lot.
I would try this lipstick again, but I think I would need a bit lighter or a pinkier nude.

I really liked the eyeshadow palette. It comes with 12 different shades that all really compliment each other. On the back of the package there are examples of what colours to pair together and different ways to apply them to your eyes for 13 different looks!
I found the colours to be very well pigmented, a little went a long way. I also liked that when applying them I didn't end up with eye shadow everywhere else on my face.
Another bonus, my colour lasted all day! I would definitely buy this palette again.
