Thank you ChickAdvisor for giving me and my husband the opportunity to try Trojan™ H2O Water-Based Liquid Lubricant in “Closer”. We are fans! It is non-sticky and has a thinner, more liquid consistency than other liquid lubricants we have tried. Compared to the Durex product we were previously using, Trojan™ H2O Water-Based Liquid Lubricant is significantly better because it lasted longer, left no sticky feeling, and because it's more of a liquid consistency (rather than gel or goopy), there was more sensation in all the right places. We will happily buy this product and the price point is a little lower than comparable products so that's a bonus. -

GOSH Mineral Powder
This Mineral Powder goes on heavy, almost cakey so the trick is to have a great brush and blend, blend, blend. The coverage was good if you are looking for a full coverage powder, but the "matte finish" left my skin looking dry and dull.

I received this product free thanks to Chick Advisor's Product Review Club. This Lacquer is easy to apply and feels smooth and rich on the lips, probably because of the addition of Argan oil. The Lacquer goes on shiny and bright, but the shine is short lived. The colour faded in under an hour. It definitely wouldn't stand up to food and drinks. For the $12 asking price, I don't find the results worth it. -

GOSH Double Precision Mascara is my new mascara of choice. The large brush is meant for the upper lashes and the small brush is meant for the lower lashes. I don't wear mascara on my lower lashes so I used this mascara in a different way. First I applied a coat to my upper lashes using the small brush. This helped define and separate the lashes. Next I followed with a couple coats using the large brush, adding length and volume. The results were amazing. I had voluminous, defined, clump-free lashes. This mascara lasted all day with no fading, flaking, or smudging. Love it! -

Thank you to Chick Advisor for the opportunity to test this product. Much like the accompanying shampoo, the Repair Maque had a pleasing scent. The product itself works well and left my hair soft, smooth, silky and tangle free. The issue I have with the Intense Repair Masque is that when used as directed, it can be very time consuming. The directions state to apply the product to towel dried hair, waiting three minutes then rinse. For me, this required showering to wash my hair, then showering again after application to rinse out the product. I barely have time to shower once in a day let alone twice and for that reason, this is not a product I would buy again. I followed the advice of some other reviewers and used the Masque as a traditional conditioner, rubbing it into the ends of my hair and that was beneficial and much more user friendly. Since I only rubbed it into the ends, I didn't have to use a large amount. Bottom line - too time consuming for this to be part of my regular beauty routine.

Thanks to ChickAdvisor for the opportunity to try L'Oreal Professionnel Intense Repair Shampoo. It smells great, which is a MUST for me when it comes to my hair care products. My hair has been incredibly dry lately because of the weather (and being overdue for a haircut) and this product left my hair super soft and silky smooth. I noticed a difference immediately after my first use. After a week of use, my hair is so soft and feels less dry and brittle. The other bonus - my hands were extremely dry lately due to excessive washing and the shampoo made my hands feel softer and smoother too! I'm a happy camper for sure and would buy again.

Danactive tastes fine. It's a smooth creamy texture that goes down easy. My issue is with the health claims and the fact that there is WAY too much sugar per tiny serving. This is definitely not a meal replacement or even a diet supplement. I can get all the same probiotic benefits by eating a cup of plain yogourt at less price and with zero added sugar. -

I LOVE Benefiber. I add it to everything. It mixes well into any liquid from your morning tea or coffee to yogourt, cereal and soup. There is no chalky feeling in the mouth and aftertaste at all. I have made this part of my daily routine and I have noticed results. Less bloat and more regular. I cannot recommend this one enough! -
Philosophy Hope In A Jar Daily Moisturizer

I did not have a good experience with this cream. It is strong smelling, but not offensive. It is way too thick and rich to be used as a daily moisturizer and would be better suited for a night cream. It also lacks SPF that I look for in my daily moisturizers. The biggest issue I had was that it caused my skin to sting and I am not prone to sensitive skin. I had to discontinue use as it caused redness and stinging.
