I was excited to be chosen to review this deodorant as I have always wanted to try a natural, aluminium-free deodorant. The Schmidt's Rose + Vanilla Natural Deodorant smells really good but I hardly notice the vanilla scent. It could be a little overwhelming to some people but I find it perfect for since it didn't give me any headache. I would say this deodorant works like any other brands however the texture is very different from the ones you normally find. It has a very grainy/sandy texture which I don't like. I also didn't like how the deodorant kind of rub and fall off as you are applying it to your armpits. The instruction says that you have to hold the deodorant against your skin to warm it up before applying which discourages me to use it more often since I have to spend a little bit more time in order to use this product.

I have seasonal allergy and around this time of the year, my eyes become very itchy and red. It sometimes becomes dry too. It is really hard for me to resist the temptation of wanting to rub them. However, with the help of Visine for allergy eye drop, I don't find myself touching my eyes anymore, which is great (especially during COVID-19 period)! This eye drop works like a charm; it does give me some tingling most of the time (especially after I rub my eyes) but the feeling is just temporary. This product usually becomes on sale during allergy seasons, which is a plus! -

I own 3 pocketbac hand sanitizers from Bath and Body Works. Two of them are from their Aromatherapy Stress Relief line in the eucalyptus tea and lavender vanilla scent if I am not mistaken. And the other scent is sweet pea.
The sweet pea is my favorite amongst them as it has a nice floral scent. I wouldn't say the scent is subtle but at least it doesn't give me headache like their eucalyptus tea or lavender scent. I already gave the lavender one away to my friend as every time I use it, I get a headache. It has a very strong scent that lingers and remains throughout your day. Even after I wash my hand with soap, I can smell it. This scent is way too overpowering. The same applies to the eucalyptus tea one. I still have it as it is nearly impossible to find hand sanitizers nowadays due to the COVID-19 situation but I prefer washing my hands with soap than using this hand sanitizer.

Disclaimer: I received Joico Hydrasplash Hydrating Gelee Masque from ChickAdvisor to try in exchange for a review however, opinions are my own.
This product contains dimethicone, which will obviously soften your hair and provide some shine but it doesn't to nourish your hair as it is only sitting on the surface like a coat. I would say dimethicone is "bad" for your hair as it can attract dirt and make your hair feel heavier. It is also easily washable.
I would stick with Joico Hydrasplash Conditioner as it doesn't contain dimethicone and it made my hair feel softer, nourished and lighter. The gelee masque is not a necessity (I would personally avoid it) as their conditioner is effective enough and better for your hair!

Disclaimer: I received Joico Hydrasplash Replenish Leave-In from ChickAdvisor to try in exchange for a review however, opinions are my own.
Although this product made my hair feel light and soft, I don't think it is necessary for people to buy it. I believe using Joico conditioner is good enough to achieve the same or similar result. To be honest, any product with Dimethicone would make your hair softer.
I'm unsure about their claim of making hair shiny as I didn't feel it made a difference to my hair (I have long, thin and straight hair). I wouldn't recommend this product as I find their conditioner to be more effective. I had the expectation that this product will give an extra boost of hydration to my hair but I didn't feel it did.

I also received Joico Hydrasplash Hydrating Shampoo and this product already made my hair felt light, soft and moisturized. However, when you use both the shampoo and conditioner together, it can make your hair even softer! It also made my hair felt lighter and more hydrated. I feel like this product can be used with another shampoo brand since Joico Hydrasplash Hydrating Shampoo already gave similar result (makes hair light, soft and moisturized). So, unless you want your hair to feel extra light, extra soft and extra hydrated, you can use Joico shampoo and conditioner together.

I usually alternate between shampoos but recently, I have been using the same brand of shampoo and I felt like it doesn't cleanse my hair as effectively as before. My hair felt heavy, stiff, dry and greasy at the same time. However, after using Joico Hydrasplash Hydrating Shampoo for the first time, my hair finally felt clean, refreshed, soft, light and moisturized. The shampoo also has a great smell but it is a bit overpowering. More importantly, it is silicones and parabens free!

Disclaimer: I received Batiste Waterless Cleansing Foam with Cactus Water from ChickAdvisor to try in exchange for a review however, opinions are my own.
It was my first time using mousse cleansing foam. At first, it felt weird since I am not used to this kind of texture but this product dries pretty fast, so the weird "sensation" disappeared pretty quickly too (a bit too fast as I don't have enough time to rub it into my hair).
I really like the scent of this waterless cleansing foam and how it did not leave white residue on my hair. However, after applying this product onto my dirty hair, it just made my straight and thin hair flatter (maybe it works better for curly hair people). To be honest, I feel like it only made my hair smelled nicer. I wouldn't replace my shampoo or my dry shampoo with this as I don't find it that effective. I also think the price doesn't justify its value/effectiveness.

Disclaimer: I received the Motrin Super Strength Liquid Gels from ChickAdvisor to try in exchange for a review however, opinions are my own.
There are a couple of things I like about this product. First of all, the size of these capsules. They are not too big and easy to swallow. I also have a preference for gel capsules as I feel like they work faster as compared to tablets.
Although the product is designed for headache, fever, migraine, muscle and joint pain, I used Motrin Super Strength Liquid Gels to relieve my menstrual cramps and pain. I have to say, it works pretty well to relieve my discomfort on the first day of my period, which is usually the day I feel the cramps.

I'm usually not a big fan of caramel product since most of them are too sweet to my liking. Although the Premier Protein Caramel Shake is filling but I find it too sweet. I usually add it to my overnight oat and I had to add some unsweetened almond milk to dilute the sweetness of the shake. I prefer their Vanilla or Chocolate flavor Protein Shake.
