I received this product to try for free from ChickAdvisor and I’m glad I did!
It was decadent, flavourful, and creamy! Loved the flavour but am not sure I would buy it at regular price.
The amount of cherries is perfect! Love the chewy and smooth textures of this ice cream. It was also not a struggle to convince my husband to eat it with me! No weird aftertaste (like other similar products made with tapioca) and just as tasty as dairy ice cream.

I received this product free to try for review.
Although it’s a bit difficult to follow the instructions completely (avoiding roots entirely and going easy on the top), this hair mask is quick, effective, and fool proof! As long as you have medium length hair, you actually might be able to use one package for two applications as well; I personally found there was A LOT of product inside and ran out of hair to put it on! For someone with very long hair though, this is probably the perfect portion.
Like other leave in treatments, this mask is super dense and hydrating, and goes on very rich and creamy without leaving hair feeling greasy (when I first tried the combination of all three hair products from this line, I actually thought this mask left my hair feeling greasy only hours later, but after trying the shampoo and conditioner without the mask, it turns out the conditioner was actually the thing that was too rich for my liking!).
While you probably don’t need to use this product more than once a week, it’s super luxurious and is like a mini salon treatment in a packet.
It left my hair feeling very soft and manageable (I normally have a difficult time combing out tangles after every shower... and there are PLENTY of knots) as well as looking super shiny!
Highly recommend this product! The perfect solution for someone with dry and damaged, coloured hair!

I received this product to try for free and was blown away by how creamy and luxurious it went on! Although there is not a lot of lather (my husband is all about lathering, so I’m sure there must be others out there who require a nice soapy loofah to feel like their getting a good clean, haha!) the rich moisture it provides is super hydrating on dry skin like mine.
I have very dry elbows and cracked hands and this was actually even soothing on those areas! Realistically, this body wash almost goes on like a moisturizer more than a wash and although when I first saw the texture, I was a bit sceptical, I absolutely love how hydrated my skin felt after showering.
Highly recommend this product for others who experience awful, dry skin like I do... especially during the winter! This body wash is a game changer for dry skin!

It could just be my hair is a bit on the thin and damaged side, but I found this conditioner a bit too greasy. Perhaps, I’d advise to just use left than half of a regular conditioner though? I normally use salon brands and find about the size of a quarter is just what my dry and damaged hair needs! With this one, the drop was more about the size of a nickel but a day later, I still felt it was quite greasy for this short of a time.
The smell of this product is wonderful though and unlike the accompanying shampoo, has more of a fruity banana scent rather than the overpowering floral fragrance.
The texture is also nice and soft and goes on pretty smoothly; the first day as application, my hair didn’t feel too bad either but throughout the day, I did find my hair starting to feel heavier and heavier, which I’ve noticed my hair does with certain conditioners!
I received this product free to try and wanted to love it, and although I love the beautiful packaging, scent, and feel of this product, it just didn’t seem to agree with my hair.

I received this product as a gift to try from ChickAdvisor and although I was very impressed by how squeaky clean my hair felt immediately after rinsing the shampoo out, I was not a fan of the smell. While the company is definitely going for a floral scent, the fragrance reminded me way too much of a perfume counter; it was quite strong and I wasn’t exactly sure what I was smelling!
On a positive note, a little bit goes a long way! This shampoo provides an excellent lather and is incredibly easy to distribute easily throughout even the thickest hair; while my hair is more on the thin side (bleached blond), my mom has roots and a very full head of hair, and she noticed the same ease of application as I did.
Even in a shower where I hadn’t shampooed my hair in a few days, only one dose of this product was necessary to give me the same clean as on a day where I shampooed my hair the morning before.
Overall, it’s a very effective product but I probably wouldn’t use it again based on the smell. For someone with a less sensitive nose or a fan of heavy floral, perfume fragrances though, perhaps you’ll actually enjoy this one.
On another note, I was surprised that the conditioner, body wash, and treatment packs actually smelled amazing! So, don’t bypass this line bases on the shampoo. It is still definitely worth checking out!

I received this product as a gift from ChickAdvisor and absolutely loved the colour options available when I was making my choice. I ended up selecting Laven-dearly which appeared to a white colour with a purple undertone.
When I received the product, it was actually more purple than white though, and while I was surprised, I wasn’t entirely diaapppinted. It went on beautifully!
This nail polish doesn’t smell too strong like others I’ve tried but it does go on quite wet, so you do have to use the neck of the bottle to remove some of the liquid on the brush. It will drip otherwise as the consistency is very watery. The drying time was also not too bad; a bit longer than some but by the time you paint one side, the other will have dried about 50%.
The application was pretty good besides the wetness of it but seeing as the colour is very sheer, this makes sense.
I used two coats and achieved a pretty nice tint but if you’re looking for a bright, bold statement, this is definitely not the polish for you. For those who prefer a modest touch of colour though, this is the one you’ve been waiting for!
Have worn the polish for about a week now and still no chipping, which is awesome. Overall, I’m very happy with this product and would probably purchase it again.

While I’m normally a huge fan of anything pineapple (hello, Hawaiian pizza!!), something about this flavour just didn’t work for me. Like the raspberry, the texture and consistency were great but I definitely wouldn’t go out of my way to have this one again. A great snack for kids and busy families on the go but I’m not crazy about the price or the concentrate. Not for my family but maybe it’s for yours! I might recommend this to others depending on the openness of their taste buds and schedules :p Not a terrible product, just not for us! -

Great on the go snack for fussy eaters. As it’s unsweetened, the flavour is not bad and this snack is a healthy alternative that is perfect for both kids and adults! The consistency is smooth but not too thin which is also nice. Not crazy about the price though and would rather make something similar from scratch with zero maltodextrin and zero concentrates... however, for a busy working mom or dad, I think this would be the ideal lunch box add on! -
