I received this as a #freeproduct in exchange for my honest review. The product claims to work similarly to a dry shampoo, but for wavy/curly hair to preserve styles and smoothness, as well as drying in only 60 seconds. I was super excited to try this since embracing the ways of the curly haired masses, but I'm not thrilled about the results. While it smells great, and dispenses easily, I feel like the foam was already drying by the time I'd put the can down and started applying it. Unfortunately, this makes it really hard to apply the product to anything but the top layer of hair, and it would need to be applied directly to the roots/scalp to do anything. There's no white residue, but I found it left my hair limp and just kind of blah looking, without offering any styling benefits. I'll experiment and try to use up the can, but I think this would be best suited to shorter, thinner hair types, and probably won't purchase again. -

I received the GÖT2B UNLIMITED in Sunburst free for review, and the only good thing I can say about it is that it was free. I lightened my hair previously, and still these dyes did barely anything. I followed all directions exactly, and applied in a blended ombre, but the only colour that took was the red on the ends. The purple came out ashy, the pink was brassy, but the red was pretty great. On top of all that, when I washed my hair 2 days later, what little colour there was faded, leaving me with brassy hair and red ends. I ended up buying using a couple other direct dyes and am much happier with the results I got on my own. -

I received this for review through ChickAdvisor, and was super skeptical about this polish, but mostly because I received a color that was not something I would have picked for myself. I tried it, and while I was surprised by the color, I found the opacity lacking. It took 3 coats to look even, and then once I applied the top coat it thinned out again. Sadly, this is not an item I would consider purchasing in the future. -

I received this for review through ChickAdvisor - Overall, I'm kind of indifferent about this top coat. Great consistency, dries quickly, and no overly offensive smell like some other top coats, but I didn't really find it lasted that long. I have really strong nails to begin with, and expect my nail polishes to last through my day-to-day, but this chipped within a day or two, whereas my current topcoat seals everything until my nails have grown out and need repainting. I probably would not buy this. -
CND CREATIVE PLAY Base Coat
It's base coat. It goes on smooth and evenly, dries fast, and is just tinted enough when applying to know where it's applied. It's not sticky like other base coats, which I like. Overall, I'd recommend this to others interested in the brand.

I got the Premier Protein shakes free for review, and I'm really glad that I hadn't purchased it myself. I was really excited when I received it, as it's low on calories for what it is, and there's almost no sugar in it, which is a huge plus for me. Unfortunately, it's almost sickly artificially sweet, with a slightly gritty/chalky consistency which immediately turned me off of the product. I wasn't able to finish the first shake I tried, and won't be purchasing it again. If you can get past the texture, and don't mind things that taste like artificial sweeteners, this would likely be a really good, reasonably priced item for you, but unfortunately it was not for me. -

I received this as a sample, and was totally shocked to find the full size can waiting for me! It smells amazing and works really well, however I'd be happier with it if it wasn't so white. I've got really dark hair, and have to spend a lot of time brushing this out, and really, it doesn't save me any time in the end. -

I received these for review through Chick Advisor. I was pretty excited to try these, as I tend to avoid meals while at work, so I don't end up feeling lethargic during the day, and then end up over eating once I get home. These are definitely the cure for that! They're not overly filling, but provide plenty of energy and are satisfying both as a meal replacement and as a sweet treat. I'll be buying more of these, and trying other flavours as well. -
Adrien Gagnon Super Energex

I tried this supplement 2 different ways, first in a glass of water, and then in a glass of orange juice, as recommended by Chick Advisor. In water, it's awful. It's similar to smashing a b-vitamin and mixing it with water, but there's also almost a wheat grass/dirt flavour. It's much better in orange juice, and almost tastes like a little vanilla added to the juice. I didn't really find it gave me any energy though, and I probably won't ever purchase it again. -
