Vichy Normaderm Purifying Astringent Toner is a fantastic addition to my skincare routine!
It's really done well on the deep pores / blackheads on my nose - better than any other product tried to date.
While the first few days seemed to bring forth subdermal acne on my t-zone, it's cleared about 90% and the rest is covered with makeup. As a result of this process, it appears to have given my skin a smoother finish.
Make sure you wash your hands really well after handling this or any of the products in the acne line, as they're potent. I wash and re-wash my hands just to be sure before handling any food. Learn from my experience.
Great stuff requires a touch more attention to detail, but the results are worth it!
Thanks to Vichy & ChickAdvisor for the opportunity to try and review these products for free! I've already made recommendations and exclusively use this set, as I cannot wait to see what more it will do for my skin.

Vichy Normaderm Deep Cleansing Purifying Gel is a light, refreshing and effective part of my skincare routine. While the first few days seemed to bring out subdermal blemishes, the acne treatment trio have shown that waiting a few days can result in an impressive change. It has healed the majority of imperfections to a point that makeup can take care of the remaining redness. It's refreshing, great consistency, and easy to rinse off. My only caution would be to really be careful how you remove it, as it's so easy to move around, and any product that gets near your lips/mouth taste awful. Wash your hands very well afterwards, as remnants are likely.

Vichy Normaderm Corrective Anti Acne Treatment 24hr Hydrating Lotion is a silky, smooth, easy to apply lotion that dispenses from a pump. A little goes a long way, so there is no need to depress the pump as much as I did the first time. A full press is ultimately too much for facial use which will help extend the life of the product even more. There is a light scent, but it's less noticeable than the other in this acne line. The packaging feels like great quality. It was a touch drying for my skin, so I wait until it's fully dry and add a salve over top that has very few ingredients and the two work well together. My skin is looking great after the first few days where it seemed to get worse, but it's like the 3 products (this + 2 others) were pulling out subdermal blemishes and starting anew or it's simply a coincidence.

Nivea Creme was a nice bonus in my recent Product Review Club kit!
The sample size tin is perfect for on-the-go travel. It resides in my purse for those days where winter dryness is taking it's toll.
It light, creamy texture applies easily, dries nicely, and it's heavily scented like other creams, making this a great everyday option throughout the year. It's a great go-to staple for anyone looking for a reliable and affordable skincare solution.
Thanks to Nivea & ChickAdvisor for the surprise review opportunity! Very much appreciated..

Admittedly, I was skeptical about this product. Washing off a moisturizing in the shower seemed illogical.
I was clearly wrong! My skin loves it, but more than anything, the creamy moisturizer smells like heaven!
Of all the products - I have ever tried - this is easily in the top 3. Cocoa butter can be amazing or a fail, and it's clear - Nivea outdid themselves on this formulation. It's my favourite product they sell!
No adverse reaction or dryness. It does what it says, even if the method is atypical.
I will definitely buy this again. I just need to practice more self-discipline on the amount used. I definitely used more than I needed to, as the love of the scent, trumped my good sense.
Thank you Nivea & ChickAdvisor for this amazing new product review opportunity!

The Nivea Q10Plus Anti-Wrinkle Serum Pearls had a great, silky finish once you work out the beads.
It took more rubbing than I would expect to smooth them out and apply, but it was worth it.
In my opinion, it was far too scented to be part of my regular beauty regime.
The package is simple and clean which I like. You always hope companies spend more focus on what's inside than outside, especially when it comes to facial skincare.
If they came out with a shea butter scent or unscented, I would absolutely buy this again.
Based on it's current formulation, I would have to pass due to the overwhelming scent.

Garnier's SkinActive Miracle Anti-Fatigue Hydra-Gel was received on a complimentary basis in exchange for this review.
Gel glides on easily, cleanly and with a slight coolness.
No tacky finish or residue, making it a great choice with or without makeup.
Value for the would-be investment seems great as a little goes a long way.
Leaves skin feeling refreshed and awake, while looking natural with no shiny finish.
Anti-Fatigue properties seem more capable thus far than moisturizing ones. I have and will continue to use my moisturizer in tandem to get optimal winter protection.
Looking forward to seeing how this performs over time.
Thank you ChickAdvisor & Garnier!

Garnier's SkinActive Micellar Water was received on a complimentary basis in exchange for this review.
The micellar water comes in a generously-sized bottle and given the modest amount of product used during each use, it offers great value.
The application of the product and its packaging are refreshingly simple. I was not sure what to expect, but it's been a pleasant experience. While I find it less suitable for eye makeup like eyeliner/mascara, it' proves capable in other areas and quickly gets the job done without irritation or scent which are important skincare considerations.
I will definitely keep using it as I enjoy the way it leaves my face feeling so refreshed and clean. I am hopeful prolonged use will show even better results as my skin adapt to this less harsh way of removing makeup than I previously used.
Great experience overall!
Thank you ChickAdvisor and Garnier!

Our dog absolutely LOVES the Nutrience Grain-Free SubZero (Canadian Pacific) food!
It disappears in quick fashion and the enthusiasm never wanes!
The quality of the dog food is often in the output! We were so happy that there were no adverse reactions upon transitioning our dog to this food. We were truly impressed with Nutrience's attention to detail by including advice on transitioning a dog to the new food. It was wise, thoughtful and professional. In a world where companies are quick to push their products in their entirety, Nutrience took a far more mindful and pet-first approach.
The packaging is top quality and really eye-catching! Definitely a win for their marketing team!
It's biggest drawback is the price, but its performance has us truly considering a switch.
The $5 off coupon in the box was a thoughtful inclusion to help families try it again.
Bravo Nutrience! Thank you on behalf of one incredibly happy and satisfied dog (and owners)!

Our child really enjoyed the Mott's Fruitsations Unsweetened Strawberry-Kiwi fruit pouch. The contents disappeared so quickly, with an immediate request for another one. When that did not prevail, a request for one came the following days for a *Motts pouch* and this flavour was the favourite of the two offered in the sample.
The packaging is really nice quality with bright colours and cute designs. The design was really kid-friendly and had great appeal to a child who really loved to see the Motts' characters on the front that came with the review kit.
The Motts's characters were a huge hit and have been to the grocery store and all through the house. The marketing department really did well here, as now there is notable brand recognition, delicious product and a child who wants more! One tattoo went on each arm before heading out, so if anyone had a keen eye, your marketing lived on beyond our household.
The ingredients were definitely better than expected. It really was a refreshing change to see no artificial sweeteners added. While we also have to watch natural sugars, we would have to with all such products.
Thank you to Motts and ChickAdvisor for this opportunity and generous kit sent to us!
