I've been using this about a week in tandem with the Deep Cleansing Gel from Vichy. I've had no surprise break outs while using these products together. It also didn't leave my face feeling dry.

I used this product first thing in the morning and before bed each night.
I recommend this product for anyone with sensative skin. There's no overpowering scent, lathered well and left behind no slimey residue. It left me with a fresh, clean face ready to face the day.

This formula is lightweight and does work well for my hair type (fairly thin). It didn't leave my hair chalky or feeling like I'd just put it in a cast like some other brands.
Run that stuff in! Then brush it out! Don't just leave it sitting at the top of your head or it won't be able to do its job.
I enjoyed the scent and didn't find it overpowering.
I did have to reapply later in the evening as my hair was getting excessively oily once again.

Like many of you I also received a coupon to try out Good & Simple's Cranberry Orange + Flax Bars. It took a bit to find these bars as my local Freshco had a little stand at the end of one of the bakery aisles with a couple of options to choose from. Luckily the two products I had been chosen to review were available.
A box of these bars was $4.49 for 5 bars (at Freshco) and $3.97 at Walmart. I was unsure of how this review would pan out as I am not a fan of cranberries and wasn't at all looking forward to trying this flavor. I was surprised after trying one that I didn't completely hate the pairing as the orange flavor balanced the overpowering cranberry flavor so well that I couldn't taste much of it. The bar itself was a little denser than other similar products and stuck to my teeth. The bars are individually wrapped so a person who does enjoy this flavor combo can easily grab one on the go.
I wouldn't purchase this product again because it's a flavor I don't enjoy and because for the price being nearly $5 I could purchase something I would enjoy more.

Like many other reviewers I received a coupon to try out Good & Simple's Chocolate Chip Oatmeal Muffins. I found this product as recommend at Freshco for $4.49 for a box of four individually wrapped muffins while being $3.97 for the same amount at Walmart. Being individually wrapped the muffins were easy to throw into a lunch bag but I could have just as easily put the muffin into my own reusable container and avoided the extra bit of waste.
I was a little disappointed that the "oatmeal" was a small sprinkling on top of the muffin and not mixed throughout. While I don't object to the taste of these muffins I didn't find anything that would make them stand out to me against other products of the same variety.
Personally I likely will not purchase this product again as I don't often snack on baked goods and nearly $5 for four muffins seems a bit costly for me as I could easily pay that $5 and get six muffins at Freshco.
I'm very unsure what to make of this branding. Yes the snacks did taste good and had simple ingredients listed on the box but to me it seems as if they are being marketed as a "healthier alternative" to other baked snacks. A quick online search of the brand didn't help clarify this either as all I could find were links back to other reviewers here on Chickadvisor and a Facebook page that rehashed all the information found on the box.

Like many others who have reviewed I received a coupon for this product. I was a little disheartened to find that it retailed for $17 regularly at the Shoppers Drugmart's in my area, however was on sale for $12.69. I decided I'd check at the local Walmart as well where it sold for about $13 for the same 439g container.
At first glance at the container I was a little annoyed as I can be a bit sensitive to certain fragrances and creams. Nivea has only listed it's fragrance as "fragrance". I like to know exactly what I'm putting on my skin.
Due to my job I tend to wash my hands or use hand sanitizer frequently so they are often quite dry, sore and cracked. I used a little there first to test out my reaction to this product. At first I didn't get much of the cocoa scent but more of a light floral scent. It felt a little slimy going on but after a few moments completely absorbed into my skin.
My hands felt moisturized and like I hadn't washed them a million times that day and the fragrance didn't bother me at all so I moved on to trying it on the rest of my body the next day after showering.
It took a bit to work this product into my skin but it was worth it. The body butter leaves me feeling like I've just applied lotion even after washing and rewashing throughout the day. I would defiantly recommend this to people but perhaps not for the $17 price tag at Shoppers Drugmart when you can get it cheaper at Walmart!

This product is quite expensive when purchased at Sephora but I'll grab a bottle or two everytime I see it on the $19.99 rack at Shoppers.

I love the scent of this bodywash. Also loving that a little will go a long way leaving my skin clean and soft. Wish the bottle was a little bigger for the price though. I usually buy it on sale.

I purchased The Body Shop's Cheek & Lip Stain for $16 in the shade Dutch Tulip. I usually use this product to add a touch of color to my lips followed by lip balm as I tend to shy away from lipstick. The price at first glance can seem a bit steep for 7.2ML of product, however I'm loving the price in comparison to other popular lip tints.
I don't use this product as a cheek stain although it is advertised as one. I'm no pro at make up application and find that if I've made a mistake (or doesn't look right) I will usually have to clean off everything in the area as the product does leave splotches and start again. Besides who really wants to apply something to their lips that was just stuck in concealer and foundation?
I defiantly recommend this product for some one who is new or experimenting with lip colors or who, like me, just isn't quite ready to delve into the calamity of lip liners and vibrant lipsticks.

I found this product online for about $6.68 Candian at Walmart. However I purchased it in Shoppers Drugmarts' sale bin for $5 along with the matching conditioner. $10 for a shampoo and conditioner I've never tried before. Sure.
I generally have lifeless, brittle and thin hair. While this product doesn't do all that much to the thickness of my hair, I find that it does add a nice sheen and when used with the matching Dove nourishment conditioner It leaves my hair feeling like hair and not like straw.
