I recently received the ReaLemon Flavour Infusions (garlic) for free from ChickAdvisor to review. I've used it a few times since for dipping sauces (mayo based as well as fish sauce based), in a stir fry sauce as well as an extra seasoning in soups and ramen for an added zing. While I can't say the taste of the garlic infused in the ReaLemon is as prominent as I would've like, I do think that this is a very convenient and easy way to pep up your food. The garlic isn't that noticeable but ReaLemon does quickly deliver the tang and freshness you want like a real lemon does. -

CA sent me Dial's juniper PURE micellar foaming hand wash to try out recently and I've been using it for the past few days. Right away I'll have to say that I love the scent; light, bright and slightly floral-y but it also doesn't linger for too long afterwards. It foams very well too, one pump is more than enough to leave my hands feeling clean and fresh! My one issue is that once I've rinsed it off I can still feel a very thin oily layer on some parts of my hands, especially between my fingers. Not matter how much I try to rub it off under running water the oily residue still seems to cling on and I personally find that a bit off putting, unfortunately. Other than that, it'd be a great hand wash! -

As a regular tea on its own it smells bright, floral and citrusy! I've quickly realized however that I prefer it as an iced tea or a base for a lemonade or some other (non-alcoholic) fruit drink; brewed 2-3 sachets for a few minutes, squeezed it all out and then added some sweetener (agave works well all round), whatever fruit juice I want and ice. This tea + honey + lemon juice makes for a nice lemonade! Or add Sprite/7up to your tea and frozen strawberries and/or raspberries and it makes another great summer drink too! -

I first tried it as is with nothing added; the aroma is strong and warm, the taste satisfactory. In the end I much prefer it with some milk and sugar, the taste becomes a lot more well-rounded and rich! I've also tried making milk tea (aka bubble tea but without the tapioca balls) with it and it works really nicely; if you want a good, strong flavour brew two sachets - although you might want to be careful if you're sensitive to caffeine! -

I was given this product to test for 2 weeks by ChickAdvisor.
First thing I noticed: the lavender-sage scent is extremely strong! Having said that I've noticed that it also faded within hours of application? This could be a disappointment or a positive depending on your sensitivity to odors; I was underwhelmed by how quickly the scent faded but on the other hand I also didn't seem to smell bad for the rest of the day! So i guess in that sense it does work decently as a deodorant.
As for the application it was a bit annoying having to wait for the bar to "warm up" against our skin otherwise it wouldn't apply smoothly and/or properly. It also leaves a bit of a film on my skin at the end of the day that's slightly hard to wash off.
Now having said all that, all in all I think it's a decent option if you're looking for a natural, safe deodorant.

I was sent the Aveeno oat mask with moringa seed extract by CA to try out. The instructions are simple and the mask is easy to apply on but I wasn't completely sure how much I was supposed to use. The cream is thick but spreads well and has a nice light smell; I ended up just smearing a very thin layer on my face. And wow, first sensation? It burned! Fortunately it calmed down quickly so that could've been just my skin not being used to the product. Other than that my skin cam out feeling smooth and supple after rinsing the mask off several minutes later. All in all a positive experience so far; I'll have it use it a few more times to see if it does a difference and how my skin will react in the long run! -

I was sent a voucher to try Snapple's Kiwi Strawberry Juice Drink; I was excited as I loved that flavour and used to drink Snapple regularly when I was younger! I'll have to be honest though, I was a bit disappointed by the taste? I don't know if my palate has just changed or if Snapple modified their recipe but I couldn't really taste any specific flavour to this drink. It was refreshing and quenching but overall just tasted generally fruity and very sweet to me. As a fruity drink, I wouldn't mind drinking it again but as a supposedly Kiwi Strawberry flavoured drink I was a bit let down, especially since it took me several stores to find any Snapple bottles. I remembered them being everywhere before! It was alright but not quite what I was expecting/hoping for. -
Tetley Super Herbal Tea IMMUNE - Lemon & Echinacea with Zinc
ChickAdvisor sent this to me to try out a few days ago; great timing too, as my allergies had been acting up. Light lemony taste and I enjoyed it with a spoonful of honey.
