Neutrogena’s Bright Boost Resurfacing Micro Polish is the first step in the Bright Boost skincare regimen. The product states it will prepare your skin for the rest of the skincare line. It will also brighten, smooth and alleviate dull, tired looking skin to reveal and immediately radiant complection.
I received this product complementary of ChickAdvisor in order to provide an honest review of the product. As per the directions, I used this brightening exfoliator 1-3 times per week. After the first week of use, I decided that once per week is enough for my skin. While the “skin smoothers” aren’t so rough that they hurt to wash my face, they are rough enough on my skin that I find more than once per week would be too much. Each time after use, my skin was left a bit red and patchy and I feel that it was a bit harsh on my skin.
I do find that this micro polish does leave my skin feeling a bit smoother after use. However, contradictory to its claims, I do not find that the polish leaves my skin looking “immediately radiant”.
One other thing I should mention that I really dislike about this product is its fragrance. I have no idea why, but this face wash is quite scented and reminds me of a sporty-fresh scented women’s deodorant.
Furthermore, after using the wash and drying my face, the scent lingers for ages on my skin. I personally don’t want my face smelling like that, especially since this product is intended to be followed by more skincare products, which are likely scented too.
Overall, while the Neutrogena Bright Boost Micro Polish is a fair enough product by quality standards, I do not think it’s very efficient at awakening dull skin and making it visibly brighter. Also, I do not think it yields good enough results to justify dealing with the off-putting fragrance of this product. Thus, unfortunately, I will not be recommending this product to my family or friends.

Alterna Haircare Bamboo Smooth PM Anti-Frizz Overnight Smoothing Treatment

I purchased ALTERNA Haircare Bamboo Smoothon sale not really expecting much. I was simply hoping that it maybe would help to defrizz my hair a bit. Well, let me tell you, this stuff is amazing! You apply this treatment onto your hair before bedtime and sleep with it in your hair. No need to worry about it getting on your pillow, because this product is "pillow safe" (really, it is). It's a funny product. It doesn't make your hair wet, and yet it's not dry. It coats your hair and yet it doesn't transfer to your pillow.
The next morning you wash and blow dry your hair and that's when the magic happens. Your hair blows out so smooth and sleek. I couldn't believe how frizzless my hair was without needing to use a flat iron! Furthermore, the results of Bamboo PM does last for 72hrs, as advertised. I can actually wake up the next morning and my hair isn't a huge, frizz-ball of a hot mess! I am so impressed with this product. I really recommend it!

This Honey Propolis mask by Soo'AE NY is great. I was seriously impressed and surprised by it's effectiveness. After using the mask my skin looked brighter and better. It also made my face so soft and it lasted into the next day! The mask is easy to use and is just like your typical sheet mask. It is advertised as suitable for sensitive skin, and I agree, because I myself have very sensitive skin and it didn't irritate my face at all. I really like this mask! It works really well, it doesn't bother my skin and it's totally affordable at ~ $3.50/mask. Fantastic! -

I finally have had the chance to try Frank's Red Hot Original Seasoning, and you know, it's not half bad. I tried using mine on popcorn and it's pretty tasty. It isn't overly spicy. I like that, because it means that you can add more or less seasoing and control the level of heat you want your foods to have. I think it would be good on french fries, or even better, I think would make really good spicy chicken burgers.
This Red Hot Seasoing is a quick and easy way to add a bit of kick and flavour to your dishes.
**Please note that I received this product complementary for testing and review purposes.

I have never used a retinol treatment before, so I was really pleased to have Chickadvisor send me this Neutrogena Rapid Wrinkle Repair Retinol Oil to test and review. This retinol oil is an interesting product. Even though it's an oil, it doesn't make your face feel like a total grease slick. Rather, it is a very thin, viscous oil that you dispense with this really cool dropper that has a button to dispense the oil. I really like the dropper because it's really efficient and prevents you from using too much product.
The first time I used this oil, like the box warns, it did make my face feel a bit warm for a minute or two. But, since then it hasn't happened.
When I apply the oil to my face, I can still feel it 20 minutes later because it doesn't completely absorb into your skin. Because of this, I personally would only use this oil at night. Also, I should note that this oil has no scent it for those of you that are sensitive to it (I am!)
After using Neutrogena's retinol oil for 2.5 weeks, I do think that it has made visible improvements to fine lines that I have.
I think that Neutrogena's Rapid Wrinkle Repair Retinol Oil is a product worth recommending to someone that has an interest in retinol products. It seems to be effective and is a more affordable option, compared to other brands.

Neutrogena's Rapid Wrinkle Repair Prep Cleanser is a creamy face wash with little purple micro exfoliants. Thankfully, these exfoliants are not plastic micro beads. The cleanser has a fresh, light, clean scent to it. I use it morning and night before applying my Neutrogena Retinol Oil, as it is gentle enough to do so. The exfoliants are not too rough and don't hurt at all. Thus, like the bottle advertises, you can use this cleanser everyday if you like.
After cleansing, my face does feel and look smoother. It does not dry out my face or strip it of its moisture.
I think that this is a good and quite effective exfoliating cleanser.

I was lucky enough to receive Vaseline's clinical care extremely dry skin rescue overnight cream to try for free. This rich, thick, non-greasy cream claims to deeply moisturize your skin and aid in it's natural renewal cycle, overnight.
This cream is definitely an intensive moisturizing treatment. It is quite thick, but applies very easily and smoothly onto the skin. It absorbs well, although I do find that you can still feel it a bit on your skin even after it's been on for a bit. I don't find this to be much of a concern, however, since this cream is intended to be used before bed. Once in bed, you really don't notice it, or you fall asleep; whichever comes first. I personally used this on my very dry legs that were dried out and a bit scaly in parts. This cream muchly improved the appearance of my skin and hydrated it well. Plus, it didn't make my skin burn like some creams do when you put them in dry, chapped skin.
The product itself comes in a pretty big tub (201g), which I think is a good size for a cream. I am fairly certain that this tub will last me for ages. It is also hypoallergenic and fragrance free!
Overall, I am very satisfied with Vaseline's clinical care dry skin overnight cream. It works well without being greasy or scented and it is a good value.

I received Vaseline's clinical care extremely dry skin rescue healing moisture lotion complements of Chickadvisor to try and review. This lotion it meant to transform skin from very dry to healed and hydrated in just 5 days.
I really like this lotion. I have very sensitive skin and also, cannot tolerate synthetic fragrances. This lotion is fragrance free and it did not irritate my skin at all; which is fantastic! It absorbs very quickly and doesn't feel greasy at all. Which is good, because I can't stand lotions that are greasy or tacky feeling in the slightest.
I have such dry skin, especially on my hands and legs. I used this lotion during the day and sometimes before bed and I found that it does work. My legs feel so much better than they did before I started using it. My skin actually feels soft, not dry, and they visibly look better.
I definitely would recommend this lotion to anyone, but especially to those with skin in need of some serious hydration and people who have sensitivities.

Coconut and White Jasmine #2 hairspray is an eco-friendly brand product by Love, Beauty and Planet that is meant to provide light hold, frizz-control and leave your hair with a fresh and light, nature inspired scent. It is both vegan and cruelty-free and does not contain parabens or alcohol. I have had the opportunity to review and test this hairspray for free, thanks to Chickadvisor.
I tried using this hairspray in a few different ways. I tried using it to help hold a braided hairstyle in place; to tack down frizzies and fly aways; and before styling with heat tools. After testing, I have found that this hairspray really isn't like a traditional hairspray. It really is more like a scented hair mist that is meant for control of frizz and fly-aways. It does both of these things well. If I use a spritz or two and brush out my hair so it's smooth, it will stay that way, free of frizzies and fly aways. Also, it doesn't leave your hair feeling stiff, crunchy or sticky. It makes your hair smell of coconut milk and fresh jasmine.
I did not find that this hairspray really provided much actual hold of my hair when it came to styles like braids or with hot tools. I also found the consistency of the spray nozzle to be, well, inconsistent. Sometimes the mist is fairly fine, while others it comes out in bigger drops. It can make controlling the amount that is applied to your hair difficult.
I personally probably wouldn't buy this hairspray, mainly because I prefer unscented hairsprays, but also because I would like just a bit more hold from my hairspray. But, I would say that this coconut and white jasmine hairspray is a good fit if you are looking for something to tame frizz, fly aways and leave your hair scented. If you are looking for anymore hold than that, or if you really dont want a hairspray whos smell is going to stay with you all day, then this isn't the hairspray for you.

Love, Beauty and Planet's Devine Definition conditioner, with coconut and white jasmine is a product that you can feel good about buying. It is free of silicones, dyes, parabens and animal testing. It is formulated with plant-based detangling agents and contains "fast rinse" technology: meaning it rinses from your hair quickly to conserve water.
I received the Devine Definition conditioner complementary for testing and review from Chickadvisor.
I never buy conditioners unless they are thick. I want to make sure that it is going to coat all of my hair and stay on while it does is job. So when I found out that the Devine Definition conditioner is a nice, creamy consistency, I was pumped to try it out. It is indeed a nice, thick consistency that allows it to evenly coat your hair from room to tip. This conditioner was no trouble to rinse out of my hair. However, I am not really sure if it rinses out any faster than other conditioners, like it advertises.
This conditioner is scented very much like it's shampoo counterpart, just perhaps not as strongly. Notes of coconut milk and jasmine are definitely the predominant fragrances.
In general, this conditioner is effective in detangling your hair and works pretty well. After drying, it leaves my hair shiny, fairly soft and looking healthy.
I don't really have anything negative to say about this product. It seems a good value, it works, and it's eco-friendly. If these are characteristics that you value in a conditioner, then you should give this conditioner a try!
