I had the opportunity to test the Lancôme Tient Idole Ultra Foundation Stick as part of the Chick Advisor product review club.
As the package arrived yesterday, I will write a first impression style review, and will update it down the road once I have been able to further test this foundation.
Application: The foundation comes in a twist up stick style. It glides easily on the skin, and blended quickly and easily with a Sigma buffing brush. It quickly dried to a matte finish, without clinging to dry skin. I lightly set the foundation with powder. Coverage was medium, but easily layered without looking thick.
Wear: I had a busy day today, running errands with my toddler, playing outdoors, going for a walk, cooking dinner, and bath time. The foundation stayed put, stayed matte, through the entire day. I did not touch up, and was pleasantly surprised with the coverage that remained at the end of the day.
My makeup routine has been increasingly simplified since becoming a mother. My usual foundation is Lancomes Tient Idole Freshwear, which was discontinued. The Tient Idole Ultra Foundation Stick is a wonderful addition to Lancome's foundation lineup, and will be remaining in my makeup bag. With an upcoming trip next month, I can foresee that it will be the perfect travel companion.

While the conditioner counterpart wasn't able to meet my needs, I really enjoyed the shampoo. My hair didn't feel overly stripped after shampooing, I got a decent amount of lather, the scent was pretty mild ... Overall a great choice for a daily shampoo!

I had the opportunity to try Dove Pure Care Dry Oil as part of the Chick Advisor product review club.
I found that two pumps of oil were all I needed after a shower to keep my ends shiny and looking healthy. I would put another pump on the ends on the days I didn't shower.
I have no issues with the scent. I don't find my hair any softer than after using my other hair oils, but was impressed with this oil based on the price. As I have only been using it for two weeks I can't reflect on whether it is helping to prevent split ends.

I had the opportunity to review Dove Refresh + Care Dry Shampoo as a member of the ChickAdvisor Product Review Club.
My long curly hair hates being washed daily. I find every third day is the perfect frequency to avoid set, frizzy hair. However, this leaves me with roots that are a little limp and oily.
Dove Refresh + Care Dry Shampoo was a welcome addition, leaving my roots looking refreshed. The fine powder blended easily and was lightly scented. I would repurchase it again when my current bottle is through.

I had the opportunity to try Dove Style + Care Flexible Hold Hairspray through the ChickAdvisor Product Review Club.
I don't usually style my hair every day, but I'll do a side braid, french braid, or half up style. More intricate styles are reserved for weekends and nights out. I have naturally curly, long hair that just loves to frizz!
I have used Dove Style + Care Flexible Hold daily for the last several weeks, and have found it meets my needs for a daily hairspray. Sprayed onto a brush and brushed through my hair, it helped to smooth down frizz. Spritzed on before and after curling led to curls that slightly relaxed yet lasted all day.
It didn't quite hold up to a half up/down crossover style, but it is also a flexible hold spray. I would have to try a strong hold next time.
Overall, I would repurchase. I like the aerosol can, the scent isn't objectionable and the quality is great for the price.

I was sent a bottle of Dove Nutritive Solutions Daily Moisture Conditioner courtesy of the ChickAdvisor Product Review Club in exchange for my honest review. I've been using it every second day over the last two weeks.
My impressions so far? On my long, curly hair, it is just so-so. It keeps my hair lightweight and moisturized, but wasn't enough for my dry ends. I ended up still using a leave in treatment and oil afterward to make sure my ends were sleek and shiny.
I didn't detect much of an overpowering scent, and found the consistency to be a bit thinner than my preference.
This would be a great conditioner for someone with short to medium length hair that is looking to maintain their level of moisture. My hair (which reaches the small of my back) needs a little something extra to ensure it stays strong and healthy!

I've been using Micellar water to remove my makeup before washing my face for several years. I usually purchased another leading brand, and was curious to see how Garnier SkinActive Micellar Water held up.
I was sent a bottle in exchange for my honest review as part of the ChickAdvisor Product Review Club.
The verdict? I was impressed! While not exactly the same, Garnier SkinActive Micellar Water did exactly what it needed to do . . . removed all traces of makeup while being gentle on my skin. It removed mascara, eyeshadow, eyeliner, brow pencil, foundation and powders without leaving a trace, or irritating my eyes.
While I would continue to purchase my other brand when it is on special, at less than half the price and 90% of the effectiveness, Garnier's micellar water will be added into my rotation.

I've been using the Garnier SkinActive Miracle Anti-Fatigue Hydra-Gel Moisturizer each morning for the past two weeks. It was sent to me courtesy of the ChickAdvisor Product Review Club in exchange for my honest review,.
I really liked the texture of this moisturizer. It was lightweight, but hydrating, without leaving any residue on my skin. I was able to apply makeup over it without any issues. I found it wasn't strongly scented (always a plus!), and I also liked the pump style container (less chance of bacteria from dipping into an open jar).
I found a little goes a long way, and still have plenty of product left in the container. Once the weather warms a bit, I could see this being the perfect moisturizer to store in the fridge and apply after a warm day in the sun.

I had the opportunity to sample Brookside Fruit & Nut Bars as part of the ChickAdvisor Product Review club.
Of the three flavours that were sent,the Cranberry with Blackberry was my least favourite. It's not that it tasted bad, it's just that the other two varieties tasted so good!
I was impressed by the 9 g of fiber per bar, and enjoyed this bar as a snack while waiting for dinner to finish cooking. My husband snuck a bite and enjoyed it as well. A nice balance to the texture (not too soft, not crunchy), and not too sweet at all.

I had the opportunity to sample the Brookside Dark Chocolate Fruit & Nut Bars as part of the Chick Advisor Product Review Club.
Blueberry with Acai was my second favourite of the flavours that were sent. At 9 grams of fiber per bar, it was enough to pack in my daughters diaper bag to eat on the go. It's filling enough to keep hunger off until I could make it home.
Even with the chocolate coating on the bottom, I didn't find the bar to be too sweet.
