I received this item for free from the chick advisors product review club. I'm not normally a juice drinker, but I can remember snapple being super popular when I was in junior high, and then it kind of disappeared. So, it was interesting to give it another shot. At $1.59 for a small bottle, the price wasn't too bad, but I guess my tastebuds have changed, because I just found this way too sweet. It did have a good taste, but there is def way too much added sugar in there. Not something I would drink on a regular basis. -

I received this free from the chick advisor product review club. I have fine, thin hair, and it feels like I have tried every product on the market to try and thicken my hair, so trying a new one is something I was very much looking forward to, hoping for some results.
At first I noticed the strong, almost medicated smell of this conditioner, which is a little off putting, but maybe a sign that it will work.
I've used it for 3 days now, which for a product like this, is not really long enough to say if it works or not. If I do start to see some results, I plan to pick up the rest of this product line.
As a stand along conditioner, it does leave my hair feeling very soft and smooth, without having to use very much product at all.

I received this free from the chick advisor product review club. When I first looked at this product, I was hoping it would live up to its claims. I have dry skin, even worse in the winter, and wearing makeup tends to make my face even dryer.
The first day I used it, I noticed a slight tingly and burning sensation in a few areas of my face. This subsided, leaving some redness, so I continued with my makeup application. After about 3 or 4 hours, I noticed my skin was very dry, and my make up flaking in the same areas I experienced the tingling sensation when I first applied the cream.
Tried the cream again the next day, with no burning sensation, but still the same dryness issue after a few hours of a normal day. Was hoping this cream would be super moisturizing, but it wasn't. Doesn't hold a candle to my regular Vaseline intensive care lotion.

Received this free from the chick advisor review club. Have been using it for a few days now, and even though it claims to not dry out your skin after using, it did find it very drying. Left my skin feeling tight and uncomfortable. I've tried other micellar water products before, with somewhat similar results, but this one was especially drying. -

Received this free from the chick advisor review club. Have been using it for two days now, rather pleased with this cream. Absorbs very quickly, is very lightly scented; not at all overpowering; and not greasy feeling. Left my skin feeling very soft, and not at all sticky. Even hours after application, my skin was noticeably softer and smoother. -

Received a free item coupon for this from the chick advisor review club. I was selected to try the Pina Colada flavor.
Blended this up using the recipes in the book that came with my coupon. It's actually rather tasty, but be prepared for a sugar rush, it is super sweet. I added rum and chocolate syrup for my first try, and cut the recipe in half.
I'd try this again, maybe a different flavor, it is very reasonably priced. Might be an idea for them to come out with a reduced sugar/sugar free version.

I received this as a free sample from the chick advisor review club, and was excited to try it. I always use a primer under my makeup, and sometimes I just wear a primer without makeup. My usual brand is Urban Decay, which is a little pricey, but you get what you pay for. This primer can't even hold a candle to it. It is way too thin, it goes on like a lotion, dries, and leaves my skin feeling dry. Also the smell is just very unpleasant, I didn't enjoy trying this at all.
The whole point of a primer is to make makeup last longer and look fresh all day. This primer didn't even achieve that. No lasting effect at all. I would not recommend this.

I got this free from the chick advisor product review club. I've spent a few days using it, and it's definitely way more effective than I thought it would be.
My usual brand is a salon brand, and I find that drug store brands usually just can't compare, especially in terms of a long lasting, strong hold. I was actually pleasantly surprised by how high quality and strong the hold is on this product. I even tested it on a windy day, and while I did have some fly-aways, it wasn't anything too serious. And it doesn't seem overly harsh on my hair, as some salon brands with extreme hold can be.
Overall a fairly decent drug store brand.

When first unboxing this product, I was struck by the size of the jar! Upon opening the jar, I could see that the cream was super thick, and this, combined with the size of the container, makes me think this cream will last me for a long time.
The cream goes on nice and smooth, and is definitely not greasy, leaves my hands feeling protected and moisturized. I use a prescription steroid cream for my severe eczema breakouts, but as this tends to thin my skin, I only use it when absolutely necessary. So, I like that this cream seems to work well for me without the use of steroids.
My only complaint would be the smell. The only thing I can compare it to is the smell of fresh baby diapers. It's not overly pleasant, but it's really only strong at first, it does dissipate.

I received this free from the Chick Advisor product review club. The top coat leaves a great shine, goes on nice and thick and dries very quick. The applicator brush picks up a little too much product for my smaller nails, just enough for thumb nails. The top coat itself doesn't seem to make the polish last any longer, I had chips within 12 hours of normal wear. So, a nice polish all in all, but I didn't find it very much different from normal nail polish. -
