I had never heard of the brand Le Petit Marseillais until I was chosen by ChickAdvisor to review their Extra Gentle Shower Crème in Orange Blossom.
After trying out LePetit Marseillais Orange Blossom Shower Creme for past last week. I'm very happy to have discovered this wonderful product. This Orange Blossom Shower Creme gently cleans the skin, it's super smooth and easy to rinse with a sweet, fruity, floral fragrance. The smell reminds me of Orangesicle. Yum! My skin was left feeling soft, moisturized and nourished. I would purchase again. Highly reccomend if you love a great smelling gentle bodywash.

No more dingy, yellow stains thanks to OxiClean Versatile Stain Remover Powder!
I used OxiClean MaxForce Spray to pretreat the stained areas on two of my favorite tops, one white and one dark purple. After pre-treating for an hour, I threw them both in the same wash with a scoop of OxiClean Versatile Stain Remover Powder along with a cap full of my usual liquid laundry detergent as stated in the directions on the package.
After just one use I am hooked! My two favorite tops looked so much better than when I used other 'stain removers' on them. My white top is white again and the antiperspirant stains on my purple tops are gone. The OxiClean MaxForce Spray used in combination with OxiClean Versatile Stain Remover Powder really takes the stains out of whites as well as colors without doing the rest of the fabric any damage.
I love that this product can be used on not only laundry but also on multiple surfaces like carpet, upholstery, kitchen and bath surfaces, outdoors on gutters, unfinished decks, and patio furniture. I look forward to testing it out on other surfaces around the house!
If you're looking for an easy to use, versatile stain remover that works, I highly recommend this product! I will be purchasing OxiClean Versatile Stain Remover Powder again in the near future. #gotitfree

My whites are actually white again thanks to OxiClean MaxForce Spray!
I used this spray on two different shirts. One of my favorite sleeveless, white cotton tops with colored embroidery on the front had dingy yellow stains around the armpit area (due to the aluminum in the Antiperspirant I use along with sweat) and also on the neck drop on the inside. The other shirt was a dark purple 3/4 sleeve top I wear quite a bit, that developed dark stains in the armpit area. Both shirts have been washed frequently prior to me using this product with another so-called stain removing product and the stains remained. Due to this, I thought for sure these stains were set in indefinitely.
After spraying and saturating the stained areas on both tops, I let them sit for an hour so the product could work it's magic and then threw them both in the wash with other colored clothes on the colors cycle. I don't usually separate my colors from whites after a handful of washes because none of my colored clothes are new and I always use cold water.
To my surprise both shirts came out entirely clean! The dark stains in the armpits on my purple top were completely gone with no damage or discoloration to the rest of the fabric. The yellow stains on my white top were also completely gone. My white was WHITE again! The colors on the front also came out a lot brighter! Which I wasn't expecting.
If you're looking for an extremely easy to use stain remover spray that actually works and is color safe, I highly recommend OxiClean MaxForce Spray. I will definitely be purchasing it again. #gotitfree

Garnier SkinActive Micellar Water worked well at gently removing my makeup with very little effort on my part. My skin was left feeling fresh and clean.
Although Garnier SkinActive Micellar Water claims to be 'no rinse'. I still ended up having to rinse my face afterwards as I found the formulation to be a bit on the 'soapy' side. After applying this product to a cotton round makeup remover pad and using it, I could clearly see suds left on my face afterwards.
Because of this, I found that without rinsing it off and using a good moisturizer afterwards. I had dry patches on my cheeks. Due to somewhat of a soapy residue left behind on my skin.
I recommend rinsing after using this product and applying a good moisturizer afterwards. Other than the couple of negatives I mentioned. Garnier SkinActive Micellar Water worked well at removing makeup without rubbing and left my skin feeling clean. I will buy this product again.

The Good:
The Garnier SkinActive Clearly Brighter Brightening & Smoothing Moisturizer did work well at brightening up my skin as well as evening out my skin tone though. My face definitely looks more refreshed and full of life. Though I'm not sure if my skin looks any smoother than it normally does.
The Not So Good:
In the first week of using Garnier SkinActive Clearly Brighter Brightening & Smoothing Moisturizer. I found my skin to be really dried out. Especially on my cheeks and forehead. My T-Zone is usually oily. So it was a bit surprising that this product that claims to moisturize. In fact did the opposite and sucked the moisture out of my skin.
For some reason, this always happens if I apply any skin care product with SPF on my face. I don't have this issue with moisturizing products that don't contain SPF.
Because I did like how bright the skin on my face looked. I decided to go back to using my regular 'go-to' moisturizer and use Garnier SkinActive Clearly Brighter Brightening & Smoothing Moisturizer on top. This seemed to work better for me. My skin is moisturized again and also brightened using the two products together.
At the moment, I'm undecided if I will purchase Garnier SkinActive Clearly Brighter Brightening & Smoothing Moisturizer again. I'm a little disappointed that I had to add a moisturizer to skin first to get the brightening benefit of this product.

I've never been a huge fan of Dry Shampoo's. Sadly as exciting as they sounded, they've just never worked out for me. Dry shampoo's have always left my hair feeling more dirty that it did before I used them. And that dreaded grey tone! Oh that dreaded grey tone. Which I might add is definetly noticeable on newly dyed hair! I dyed my hair with Clairol Nice & Easy Natural Mohaugany Black hair!
I have to say, I'm pretty damn impressed with Batiste Dry Shampoo Original Clean & Classic.
This was the first dry shampoo that I've used that didn't leave my hair feeling really weighed down. It also didn't leave a powdery white residue on the top of my head! BONUS!
I used it on the 3rd day of not washing my hair. It usually takes about 3 days for my hair to start feeling oily. I noticed a difference in the feeling of my hair instantly! It felt clean, refreshed and full of body and texture. Batiste Dry Shampoo smelled great too! I would describe it as a very light floral scent. Not over powering at all. I actually like the smell. This coming from someone who doesn't usually like floral scents.
To use: Shake can vigorously and spray Batiste into the roots, keeping the nozzle 30cm from hair. Massage through with fingertips. Brush hair and style as usual.
This shampoo works really well when the directions are followed closely.
Upon reading about Batiste Dry Shampoo Original Clean & Classic on their website. I was happy to see that it comes in quite a few different scents. 7 different fragrances to be exact.
ORIGINAL - A clean classic fragrance (Mentioned in this review).
BLUSH - floral & flirty
FRESH - cool & crisp
TROPICAL - coconut & exotic
CHERRY - fruity & cheeky
WILD - sassy & daring
FLORAL ESSENCES - bright & lively
I'm looking forward to trying them all! Especially the Tropical and Wild fragrances. ;) Who would have thought I'd become a fan of dry shampoos? I sure didn't!
Whether you use a dry shampoo all the time or have never tried one before. I highly recommend trying out Batiste Dry Shampoo Original Clean & Classic. I'm pretty sure you will love it! I will be purchasing this again.
Disclosure: I received a travel sized Batiste Dry Shampoo from ChickAdvisor to facilitate this review. The opinions expressed are my own and were not influenced in anyway.

I've been looking for the perfect facial scrubber. Honestly, this is it. I've tried 3-4 different brands, from drug store to paying... entirely too much. This is obviously on the pricier side, but it works extremely well.
The cord is my favorite feature. As with most rechargeable, there's usually a socket for the plug to connect to. Over time, those begin to break, warp, acquire gunk or just in general need to be replaced. The 'snap' magnet that the recharge cord has is fantastic.
Mine holds a charge for a few weeks without having to be recharged, so it's a perfect for travel (with a little pre-charging before you depart, of course). There's a small indicator light that flashes different colors to tell you where you stand with battery life on the back-it's fairly easy to see.
Small and compact, I barely notice it in my suitcase.
It's easy to clean. I've tried a few different soaps with it, but that's really up to the user's preference I suppose. All you do is twist the brush off the head and rinse off the handle, then snap it back on. Really simple.
It just feels solidly built, with the extra finesse of some touches like the cord and cleanup. If I had to buy it over again, I would. But it's still going strong.

I have never tried a waterproof/smudge proof eyeshadow before so I was excited to try this product out. I can vouch that these are in fact waterproof as well as smudge proof. Gosh Forever Eye Shadow sticks do not budge!
Don't let that scare you though. Removal is easy. All you need is a gentle eye makeup remover. These eyeshadow sticks are highly pigmented and can be used as an eye liner below the eyes too which is a top trend this year.
These shadow sticks don’t need sharpening as they wind up and they also don’t crease on the lids. Another positive is that you don’t need a brush to apply them because they are easily blendable in the first few seconds of applying.
