I was sent Seventh Generation Glass Cleaner, Sparkling Seaside scent to try and review #gotitfree. I was not previously familiar with this product, but was quite eager to try as it is all natural.
The size of the bottle is fairly large. It is easy to hold and carry. The nozzle is easy to use and comfortable as well. The spray covers a wide area.
I liked the scent very much. It is light, and no scent remained after cleaning.
In terms of cleaning ability, I was very impressed. The Glass Cleaner did a great job on my mirrors, and especially on the bathroom faucets. It did not leave any streaks or marks.
It worked well and quickly. I didn't need to reclean any areas.
I would buy this product again.

I was sent Seventh Generation All Purpose Cleaner, Fresh Morning Meadow scent to try and review #gotitfree. I was not previously familiar with this product, but was quite eager to try as it is all natural.
The size of the bottle is fairly large. It is easy to hold and carry. The nozzle is easy to use and comfortable as well. The spray covers a wide area.
The fragrance is fairly light, but pleasant. I did not find any scent to linger after cleaning, which was a slight disappointment as I like that "fresh, clean smell".
In terms of cleaning ability, I was very impressed. The All Purpose Cleaner did its' job well, and got rid of tough grime easily. I used a larger amount of liquid than I would with my regular cleaning product though. Afterwards, I could visible see that the area was clean, so I was happy with that.
I would buy this product again.

I received the Vichy Liftactiv Serum 10 Supreme for free to try and review.
I quite liked the modern appearance to the container, though found the shiny silver outer packaging made it harder to read the box. I was disappointed that there were no instructions included. I was not sure exactly how to use the serum, and how much.
I greatly dislike the applicator. I found it to be messy as the length of it gets covered in serum, but you only use the dropper to put a bit on your finger; however the extra serum would drip off the applicator. Also, the applicator doesn't give enough serum to do your entire face, so you need to reinsert and pump a couple times. On occasion the pump button would stick in the down position, so it was not filling the applicator well. I think this product would greatly benefit from a regular spout.
There is a nice light scent to the serum, nothing long-lasting once applied.
I found it to absorb well. I did not feel greasy afterwards, but was not hydrated either.
After using daily for one week, I don't see any noticeable improvement to any fine lines. My skin was not illuminated and plumped as the product claims. Saying that, Vichy says results after 10 days, so perhaps I need to continue use for a few more days.
I find the price is too high for this brand and for a serum, and for me, the product was not effective. I would not purchase it.

I received the Vichy Liftactiv Supreme Day Cream for free to try and review.
I quite liked the modern appearance to the container, though found the shiny silver outer packaging made it harder to read the box.
There is a nice light scent to the cream, nothing long-lasting once applied.
I found the day cream absorbs very well and a little cream goes a long way. I did not feel greasy afterwards, but was not extremely hydrated either.
After using daily for one week, I don't see any improvement to my complexion. My face does not look brighter, more rested or younger as the product claims.
Perhaps with continued use I would see more results.
Overall, I would say this product is an average moisturizer.
I find the price is too high for this brand, and for me, the product was not effective. I would not purchase it.

I received a coupon to try this product for free in order to review it. Usually we purchase whole wheat breads, but I was excited to try the Villaggio Classico Thick Sliced Italian Style Bread.
I found the bread to be soft with a light dusting of flour on top.
Upon first use, I did find the slices to be much thicker than I am used to. I decided to use just one slice for my tuna salad sandwich.
The texture of the bread was nice -- slightly chewy, which I enjoyed.
Nothing overwhelming about the flavour, but enjoyable.
I also used the Villaggio Classico Thick Sliced Italian Style Bread for toast. It toasts nicely -- crispy on the outside, and softer on the inside.
I preferred the taste when toasting it.
It is a nice bread, and priced well, but for my preferences, I would like a thinner slice and a whole wheat bread, so I would not purchase this for regular use.
I think the Villaggio Classico Thick Sliced Italian Style Bread would be a great bread for french toast, and will use it this way next.

I was very excited to try the Johnson's No More Tangles Detangling Spray, as my daughter has curly, long hair that tangles easily.
On first use, I found the pump very difficult to use. I thought I just had not opened it properly, but it continued to be hard to pump.
When we got the bottle to spray, the pump provided a good amount of product and fairly good coverage. I applied several pumps to her hair, and then we brushed.
I didn't find the brushing to be that much easier with the Johnson's No More Tangles Detangling Spray applied. Maybe we did not put enough on?
We have a different detangling spray that is more oil based, and this seems to work better on her hair type. Due to that, I would not repurchase this product. The Johnson's No More Tangles Detangling Spray might not be strong enough for my daughter's hair.

I received this product for free as part of a try and review promotion.
I quite enjoyed the Johnson’s No More Tangles Shampoo. The colour of the product is pretty and it has a nice scent. My daughter is getting older, and doesn't want to use Johnson's Baby Shampoo anymore so this is a great alternative.
The shampoo worked well, and provided a nice lather. My daughter's hair felt clean afterwards and smelled nice. I *think* the shampoo helped with the tangles. We normally brush her hair right after washing, so hard to say if it was more the brushing that helped.
We will continue using this product.

I received the Nivea Micellair Water for Dry and Sensitive Skin for free as part of a try and review program for ChickAdvisor.
I have tried Micellar Water in the past (another brand), and due to that experience was highly doubtful on how well the Nivea Micellair water would work for me.
Luckily, I was pleasantly surprised. the Nivea Micellair Water for Dry and Sensitive Skin was gentle on my skin and did remove the make-up quickly and easily.
The only issue I had was that even though I had my eyes closed, I did get a bit of stinging while trying to remove my mascara.
I did not feel the need to rinse my face with water after using, and my face felt clean.
I will continue using this product.

The Nivea Care Nourishing Cream can be used on your face, body and hands. It is not as thick as the Nivea face cream I am used to, so for me, that is better. I was a little doubtful about the effectiveness of using the same product on my face and my body though.
I first used the cream on my face. It is thicker than my usual facial moisturizer. Saying that, the Nivea cream did absorb well and did not leave me feeling thick or greasy on my face.
I used the cream on my legs next, and liked this usage the best as it provides good coverage and again, absorbs well, leaving my skin feeling soft, moisturized and protected.
For my hands, I liked that a little bit of Nivea cream goes a long way, but I did have a lingering residue feeling on my hands, which I do not enjoy.
The Nivea Care Nourishing Cream does have a slight fragrance to it. I notice it more when I open the container and when applying. The scent does not become overpowering on your skin, and seems to go away quickly.
Overall, I had a good experience with this product, but I prefer my current product for moisturizing.

The Fruits & Passion Cucina Corainder & Olive Tree Hand Soap is a nice addition to the kitchen. The clear bottle is attractive and allows you to see when you are running low of the product.
I like the pump. It is easy to use and provides the perfect amount in one pump.
I find the scent to be a bit too strong when first pumped out, but only a small bit of scent remains on your skin after washing.
There is no feeling of any residue left on my skin after rinsing,
After using, my skin feels clean and refreshed and also soft. I like to use it after handling food to ensure I am getting the best clean.
