I received the Vichy Idealia Life Serum from ChickAdvisor to try for two weeks. This product comes in a pink pump which makes it easy to squirt out a bit of the cream and apply. The cream itself is fairly light weight and doesn't leave your skin feeling greasy. The scent is a fairly mild, but still noticeable. I would have preferred if there was a little less scent in the product. I can't say that I noticed a huge difference in my skin tone and texture while I was using the product. The instructions suggest that you put the serum on under your normal moisturizer in the morning. I found that if I did this my pores started to clog up. I had better luck just using the serum in the morning on its own.
The product isn't bad, but I'm undecided if I would purchase it again. If I was going to spend my money on a Vichy product again I think I would invest in the Idealia Skin Deep instead.

I received the Vichy Idealia Skin Sleep from Chick Advisor to try for about two weeks. I have never tried a Vichy product in the past and was generally impressed with the skin sleep product. My skin tends to be dry as I work outside on a regular basis. After using the product nightly for the two weeks I found that my skin appeared fresher and some of the 'love lines' were less noticeable.
The cream didn't have a heavy fragrance which I really liked; there was a mild, pleasant smell though. I also found the product went on easily without a really heavy, greasy feeling. That being said, I generally applied it right after washing my face for the night and just before bed. The cream contains hyaluronic acid, LHA, and vitamin B3 just to name a few. I also suspect (but don't know) that there is something alcohol-based in the product though, since I experienced a mild tingling when I applied the product for a few nights where I had an small scrape on my skin.
I will continue to purchase the product and I liked the jar that it came in, since it was pretty easy to use.

The Diaper Rash Cream does work really well. It is unscented (yay) and goes on really easy. The zinc oxide helps to protect from diaper rash and smears on easily without going on as a thick paste like other diaper rash creams. My child didn't react to it either, which is an added plus. -

CeraVe Eye Repair Cream contains the ceramides all CeraVe products have, which is a benefit. The product helps to moisturize the eye area (or wherever you decide to use it). I loved the small container with the dropper sized tip; which makes it super easy to apply. The product is unscented, which I love! The non-greasy cream goes on easily and rubs in without leaving the feeling of a film or heavy cream on your skin. My only wish would be that it contained an SPF since I work outside and would really like to have the SPF included in my moisturizer (yes, even my eye moisturizer).
I would absolutely buy and use this product again. I'm really happy that I was given a chance to test this for ChickAdvisor.

It definitely helped to soften my lips and limit how much they dried out. I would purchase the product again in the future. -

I liked the Listerine Smart Rinse' they did help to increase the chances that my kids had clean teeth and mouths. The kids enjoyed the characters on the bottle and would use the product at night before bed. I only bought the mint flavoured one because I don't like the idea of mouth wash tasting like bubblegum or berry, but I know other parents would likely prefer the 'sweeter' flavours. -

I was asked to try the Arm & Hammer Spinbrush Truly Radiant toothbrush for Chick Advisor and I liked the product. I did notice a difference on how well my teeth were cleaned and the unit wasn't super heavy to hold, despite being battery operated. I would definitely recommend the product and will be purchasing it in the future. I would highly suggest getting the soft bristles though. -
Arm & Hammer Clump & Seal Complete Odour Sealing Clumping Litter

I was really impressed by how well this product worked. As much as I love my pet, you definitely know when she has visited the litter pan! Arm & Hammer Clump and Seal definitely masked the odours coming from the kitty litter and the mess was easy to clean up because of the clumping action of the product. My cat had no problems switching over and using the product either, which is a plus. My only issue is the cost of the product since it is a little on the high side for the volume you receive. -

I was one of the lucky ChickAdvisor's who received a coupon to try Lean Cuisine's Fresh Inspirations and I tried out the Chicken Thai flavour. As far as flavour, it was amazing! The chicken was tender, the rice cooked up nicely and was not clumpy or sticky, and the vegetables still retained some of their firmness so all of that was good. The Fresh Inspirations do a much better job on the rice then other microwavable dinners. I know that the Fresh Inspirations say you can customize the amount of sauce you can put in, and you can (sort of) but not really well. Basically you dump what they provide on the rice and vegetables.
I would recommend this product to a friend and will buy it again, when it is on sale.
The primary drawback I have with this product is that the serving size is small (especially for the non-sale price). Other issues are that the instructions don't provide a guideline for cooking if you are using a smaller microwave, they just tell you to cook it longer. Unfortunately, if you overcook then the rice and vegetables don't turn out well, so your really need to play it by feel. Also it would be nice to see the Inspirations included in the Stouffer/Lean Cuisine rewards program, especially since they are more expensive.

Crest Pro-Health ProFresh Toothpaste did leave my mouth feeling cleaned and minty fresh. I sampled and tested the mint flavour and liked the taste of the toothpaste. While using the product my gums, tongue, and cheek tingled a little bit but nothing extreme or much different from other minty toothpastes. The one drawback I found was a roughening or tight feeling around the tissue of my mouth after use. The feeling would (and still does) last for up to 15 minutes after brushing. I can't say that I am sold on that feeling. I would likely recommend the product to a friend if they were looking to try to whiten their teeth and clean them appropriately to boot. As for buying the product again, I would likely pick it up if it were on sale.
