I was fortunate enough to have been selected by Chickadvisor to try this product for free. First of all, the bottle is massive! There's a lot of product in here! I was very impressed by that. When I first started using this product, I found that it seemed almost it identical to Phisoderm. The consistency and the way it cleanses is so similar to Phisoderm that I don't think I'd be able to tell the difference. I really like that it's fragrance free and that it doesn't lather. Because of that, I think it would be a really great cleanser in the winter because it feels like it doesn't strip your skin as much as other cleansers that are made for acne prone skin. And that's another great part of this cleanser as well. So many of my other cleansers make my skin feel really tight after cleansing. I don't experience that at all with this product. It really is very gentle, hasn't irritated my skin, and has made my skin feel supple and soft. Overall, I'm really happy with this product. You get a lot of product for your money, and only need to use a little to cleanse. I feel like this is a more affordable version of Phisoderm that I'll definitely be switching to once all my Phisoderm is gone. I'm a very happy customer! -

I'll admit that I'm not a fan of Nutella, and I was excited but hesitant to try Kraft's Hazelnut spread. I actually really, really prefer it. It's way better than Nutella! I find that the consistency is much better and that it's less sweet than Nutella. It has really good flavour too. I like that it doesn't have any added palm oils and other unnecessary ingredients. I just wish it were less calories than it is. The high calorie count is the only thing keeping me away from purchasing again. I slapped my free sample on a banana and it was delicious! -

I'm really impressed with the Skin Balancing Micellar Wipes. I've never used a micellar/makeup wipe that didn't burn or irritate my skin (even though my skin isn't sensitive). I didn't notice any burning after using these. They also were effective in removing all of my makeup, even some stubborn mascara and super set concealer. There is no need to go in a second time or double cleanse after using these wipes. I did feel like these left a film on my skin and had the urge to rinse off my face with water after a while, but I experience that with all micellar water type products. The big star of the show is that these are compostable so I'm not feeling as if I'm creating more waste with a single use product. I like that I can throw them in my compost bin instead of the trash. Overall, these are the best makeup wipes I've tried so far because they don't bother my skin and actually remove ALL of my makeup. I likely wouldn't purchase them again for at-home use, but will absolutely buy in the future for convenience when travelling. -

I was selected by Chickadvisor to test out this product for free.
This clay cleanser is amazing. I regularly use clay masks for my oily skin and was really intrigued to see what the clay cleanser would be like. It feels creamy and smells great! Not sure if it's a natural scent due to the clay, but it's the best smelling cleanser I've ever tried and isn't overly potent. It doesn't contain soaps or sulfates, so it doesn't lather like my other cleansers but I don't mind. The consistency of the cleanser is very smooth and creamy. I've used it for about a week now and I've noticed a big difference in the texture of my skin. My skin feels very soft and smooth. I typically use salicylic acid cleansers which make my face feel tight, but after using this product my skin doesn't feel stripped or tight at all. It feels very gentle and non-irritating. Overall I'm really enjoying this cleanser. I think it would be especially great during winter as it deals with oils without overdrying the skin. The one thing I dislike about it is the pump. You can turn the pump head to open and close, but it seems kind of fragile and everytime I turn it I feel like I broke it. It doesn't really matter in the grand scheme of things, but I just wish it were a bit sturdier.

Clinique Beyond Perfecting Super Concealer Camouflage + 24-Hour Wear

As the title states -- this is the best under eye concealer I've ever used. This concealer is the most watery, liquidy I've ever seen but is extremely pigmented. A few dabs goes a long way. It completely conceals my chronic purple under eyes. And because a pinpoint amount covers a large area, it has great value even though it's a higher priced item. It comes in a tube which can get messy, but nice that there's no applicator that could spread bacteria. Overall I'm super happy with this product. I love that it feels lightweight, doesn't get cakey, doesn't crease, stays all day, and completely covers. I'll definitely be purchasing again. -

I was lucky to have been selected by Chickadvisor to try out this product for free. I have very oily, acne-prone skin. First of all, I find the individually wrapped wipes to be very convenient. Especially in our pandemic mask-wearing age, it's handy to have these thrown in my bag for when I need an emergency face wipe when out of the home. I also like that having them individually wrapped means that there's no potential for the entire pack to dry out. As for the wipes themselves, I wasn't a fan. I think there's some ingredient that didn't agree with my skin. After using it, my face felt like it was chapped. It felt tight, but also shiny at the same time. That being said, it was extremely efficient at removing all my makeup. With the second wipe I received, I finished with micellar water to remove any potential residue from the wipes, and the cotton pad I used was completely clean. I was impressed by how well it removed all of my makeup, including mascara. I'd probably purchase these in the future for travel, but not for at-home use. -

I was lucky enough to have been selected by Chickadvisor to try out this sunscreen for free. To preface my review, I have very oily, acne-prone skin. Every facial sunscreen I've ever used has left a streaky white residue on my face and made it super shiny and sticky. And when I try to get rid of the streaks the product just pills off my face. I was pleasantly surprised that I really, really loved this sunscreen! It has a fine mist which is a necessity for a facial spray product. It doesn't leave a weird white residue that I have to try to get rid of. It absorbs really fast and doesn't make my skin look incredibly shiny. It also feels lightweight compared to the sunscreens I've used in the past. The only worry I have is that I don't know what type of coverage it's providing to my face. Because it's a spray and not a thicker lotion, I don't know what parts of my face it may be missing, whether I need to apply more, etc. But that just my worry and not an issue with the product itself. Overall, I'm very glad I was offered the opportunity to test this out because I've discovered my new facial sunscreen. I will definitely be switching to this in the future. -

Basically what the headline says. This is honestly the worst deodorant I've ever used. It smells exactly like turkish delight, which is a good thing to me! It smells so good. The scent lasts for a decent amount of time. What I dislike most about it is the texture. It's incredibly rough. It feels like it's exfoliating my underarm. And when you swipe it, it begins to crumble apart. It is not creamy and leaves big chunks on you. I would never purchase this again as every other type of anti persperant/deodorant is way better than this. Not worth the money at all! -
Rimmel London Royal Gloss Delicious Lip Gloss
This is by far the stickiest lip gloss I've ever used. The fact that they have on the package that it's 'non-sticky' is laughable! I do love that it's in a squeezable tube and that you get so much product. But it's so thick, so sticky, and needs to... +
This is by far the stickiest lip gloss I've ever used. The fact that they have on the package that it's 'non-sticky' is laughable! I do love that it's in a squeezable tube and that you get so much product. But it's so thick, so sticky, and needs to be constantly applied and doesn't have much staying power. The shades are really nice though and it has a great sheen when applied. -

I found these blotting sheets in a 2 x 100 pack on clearance at Shoppers for $1. What a great bargain! There is definitely a difference in quality when comparing these to my previous Boschia and Clean & Clear purchases. The Joe Fresh ones are smaller and white. I feel like pricier brands come in coloured sheets so you can see the oil being absorbed. It's harder to tell with white, but it eliminates my shine and I can see that it has worked. I don't need to pay more to see it on the sheet because I notice the difference on my face. Overall, great purchase and I'd recommend! -
