Thank you for providing me with the Vichy ProEVEN Advanced Daily Dark Spot Corrector cream to try out. I've been using it as a day and night moisturizer for the past couple weeks. I love how hydrating it is and that it doesn't feel greasy on my skin. It also has a whitish pigment to it which I notice helps to brighten up my skin tone. I really like the product for these reasons.
I didn't notice a difference in it lightening dark spots that I have but did notice that it brightened up my overall skin tone due to the white colour of the cream. I have tried other whitening creams in the past but sometimes their formulation causes the white component of the cream to flake off or not go on evenly but there was no issue with the Vichy cream. It does have a bit of a strong scent so if people are sensitive to fragrances or perfumes, they may not like this product.
Overall, I think this is a great cream to use. However, it is a little more expensive compared to other creams and comes in a smaller container (30 mL) compared to most creams (50 mL). However, having said that, I found it to be a nice, moisturizing cream with skin lightening properties. I was happy with it overall.

I will agree that this is one of the best gluten free pastas on the market. It's made of a combination of different grains (rice, corn and quinoa) so the structure and taste is very similar to regular pasta.
I highly recommend it to people who are looking for a gluten free pasta that closely resembles the taste and texture of regular pasta. I honestly couldn't tell that it was gluten free pasta when I made it. It's a great option for people who are avoiding gluten. The price isn't too bad either.

Thank you Chickadvisor for giving me the opportunity to try this product. I have always wanted to try a pencil eye shadow! I see these all the time on beauty video blogs that I follow and I love how easy and fast they are to use and apply. I have narrow, Asian eyes so sometimes I just want to put shadow along my lower eyelid (eye shadow pencils can help to give the illusion of a double eyelid).
I love how easily and smoothly it glides on. However, the formula is quite slippery so I found that the colour and the sparkles ended up all over my eye after awhile (even though I only lined my lower eyelid). I even used an eye shadow primer to try to stop the smudging but it wasn't effective.
I think I might be more inclined to purchase this product if it came in non-metallic, non-sparkly colours and had a more matte finish vs. glossy (which might help prevent smudging).
Good idea though.

Thank you Chickadvisor for giving me the opportunity to try this product.
I really liked using this as a setting powder as it goes on very light without adding any extra color and doesn't make my make up look cakey. It's great for reducing shine and leave a nice, natural looking finish. I prefer to only use it as a setting powder as I find that when I use it as a primer underneath powder foundation that my skin feels a little dry.
I would continue to use it as a setting powder.

I like the fun, pink packaging of this product. The formulation is great in that my lashes definitely look thicker and longer. I definitely would recommend this mascara for that reason. However, I am not a big fan of the brush. I find that it makes my lashes clump together so for that reason I am only giving it an average rating.
However, if they changed the brush it could definitely be one of my go-to mascaras.

I really liked the super pigmented colour of this lip gloss. It goes on really easily and provides a lot of shine and moisture. The colour is a little bright for me but it's a great colour for people who like to wear bright colours.
The packaging itself is unique in that it looks like a small nail polish bottle but when you open it, it has a small lipstick sponge that you use to apply the gloss. The shape of the bottle is larger than your typical lip gloss/lipstick tube so it might be hard to fit in your pocket or compartment that you usually store your lipstick in.
Overall, I give this product a thumbs up for it's moisturizing properties, shine and the saturation of colour. It's nice to see bold, bright colours available in a lipgloss that doesn't go on heavy or sticky. The only draw back is the packaging which is a little different and bulkier.

Thank you Chickadvisor for allowing me to review this product through the Product Review Club.
I received two boxes of Kellogg's Special K Popcorn chips. Butter flavour and Sweet & Salty flavour.
From an appearance standpoint, they look similar to Doritos with their triangular shape but they have a denser texture similar to rice cakes. In fact, they remind me a lot of the Quaker Oats rice snacks which are mini flavoured rice cakes.
I found the Butter flavour to be a little too salty for my taste but I really enjoyed the Sweet and Salty flavour. However, I find the packaging a little dangerous as I know I would likely eat the entire box. I'm not sure how much a box costs but if it's comparable to a small bag of chips, I might be inclined to choose these over potato chips when I feel like something different.
It's a pretty tasty product overall.

I've always liked the idea of using mouthwash after I brush my teeth but I've always been too cheap to try it. I'm so glad I had an opportunity to try a bottle through the ChickAdvisor Product Review club.
At first, the mouthwash felt strong and very tingly as I swirled it through my mouth. However, it definitely left my mouth feeling minty fresh. Although it's pretty strong, I appreciate the fact that it left my mouth feeling clean and fresh. I would definitely add it to my regular routine after brushing my teeth. Thank you ChickAdvisor for giving me the opportunity to try this product.

I received the Oral-B CrossAction Pro-Health Toothbrush from the ChickAdvisor review club. This is my new favourite toothbrush. I love the study feel of this toothbrush and the firmness of the bristles. I've never had a toothbrush with the gum massaging bristles on the side and the tongue scrubber.
The bristles feel really sturdy so it feels like I'm thoroughly cleaning my teeth and gums and I really like the tongue scrubber which is rough enough to be effective but not too rough. I also noticed that the handle of this toothbrush is wider than most toothbrushes and it feels really good in my hand. I'll probably look for this toothbrush when I need a replacement.

I received Crest Pro-Health ProFresh Toothpaste from the Chickadvisor Product Review club. I'm actually familiar with this toothpaste because my dentist gave me a small travel sized tube at my last appointment. It's supposed to be a competitor of Sensodyne toothepaste for people who have sensitive teeth.
I have to say that the packaging and look of Crest ProHealth is much nicer than Sensodyne. I also like the fact that it was a minty gel. The taste was refreshing without being over powering and it left my teeth feeling clean and fresh. From what I've noticed, it performs just as well (if not better) than Sensodyne and I don't have to be self-conscious about having an old school looking toothpaste in my bathroom. Crest's branding is clean and modern. I'm glad that started their ProHealth line.
