I too received this product for free from ChickAvisor to review and provide my honest opinion. Nivea claims, this product will provide and even and smooth base for makeup, has an ultra light weight texture that absorbs into your skin instantly, and is non-greasy while providing long lasting moisture.
I can definitely agree with the texture, and the quick absorbency because once you massage it in, your skin just soaks it up. However, as a primer, it wasn't as great. Instantly after apply the moisturizer on its own, i can feel and see that my skin is smoother.
The first time i tried it with only concealer, and it didn't turn out so well, Instantly my concealer was getting into the pores of my skin. Not a good look. Then i tried it without concealer, and just used my foundation. This time it was much better, the foundation sat nicely. But through out the day, I noticed my skin was getting dry patches also my cheeks and my foundation was slowly disappearing from my T-Zone area.
I think, as a moisturizer, this is nice especially for the summer time due to its lightweight texture. However, as a primer, this was not a winner for me.

I received this product for free as part of the #DoveDryShampoo ChickAdvisor campaign. When i was selected to partake in the campaign i was really excited because i personally feel like you can't go wrong with Dove products. But this dry shampoo was a total miss for me. The claim is like any other dry shampoo, to absorb oil and refresh your hair. But this has the added benefits of adding volume. Yes, it does absorb the oil, but after some time, it makes my hair look even dirtier and nappier; worse than prior to using it. Also, I didn't see any volume being added to my hair when I used this product. If you are looking for a dry shampoo, i would recommend the Dove's original one instead of the volume one. Because at least that one had longer lasting results of helping it look more refeshed. -

Thank you ChickAdvisor and Vichy for sending me this product!
This light cream is fairly light weight and spreads evenly, however it was a little greasy in my opinion. Not exactly too the point where it was oily and breaking me out, which it didn't, but it was like a oily silky feel. Which is slightly too heavy for me in my opinion, may work better for me in the winter time. Also, each time i apply this cream, my face feels a little tingly, not sure why. I think i may just say this for the winter time, or maybe the fall time. As right now, it's just a little heavy on the skin. I don't have anything specific to point out about this product, it's neither good or bad, as I feel like it is just a basic hydrating moisturizer.

Thank you ChickAdvisor and Vichy Canada for send me this serum!
I've actually purchase and used the product before, so receiving it for free was really amazing. This product is exactly as it claims. It kept my skin hydrated, even in sweaty humid conditions! It wasn't sticky or oily, and it is SUPERBLY light weight which is great for everyone. The only issue i have with this serum is the scent, it is way too strong. It definitely fades, and you do not have to smell it on your skin all day. But i just can not stand that scent! Which is why I wouldn't repurchase this product. But scent aside, this is a great serum, and does exactly as it claims. The price point and size is alright, pretty standard in my opinion.
If you're not sensitive to scent like i am, i highly recommend this serum!

Thank you Chickadvisor and Vichy for sending me this product!!!!
Ive been using this eye balm twice daily for a couple of weeks now, and aside from the hydration i do not see much difference in regards to my eyebags and how puffy my eyes are in the morning. In fact i feel like my eyes look even puffier after using it! however, it is very light and hydrating which is nice, and my makeup seems to sit will with it. So i would recommend this for those who have dehydrating skin, or are starting out with eyecream and just want to start keeping the area hydrated and creating a routine. but if you already have targeted concerns, i wont recommend this product.

I received this product for free as part of the ChickAdvisor Product Review Club. This was one of the products i was most iffy about because i've tried many other brands of dry shampoos out and they somehow managed to make my hair look grosser than it was. Maybe it was just me, and my inability to understand how to use it. BUT this came with slightly clearer instructions, and you know what i think i was actually able to see some results from this one! Am i still on the fence about it? yes, of course! but since it was the first time i saw some results i'm really happy with this one! I think if im able to fully understand how to use dry shampoo and need to restock, i've definitely buy this one again. -

Hair sprays aren't really my forte, as I only use it for special occasions. but since i received it i felt it was only fair i give it a try. this hair spray is really nice, it doesn't leave you feeling like a helmet, and the hair is still fairly soft. LIke the hair oil, it wasn't amazing but wasn't horrible either so i'd repurchase if i need it and would recommended to friends if they ever ask me.

This oil was just okay for me. It wasn't amazing, but it wasn't horrible either. It just did what it claims to. I dont usually use a hair oil though, so maybe i'm just not too familiar with them. but would i purchase this again? probably, if i felt my hair was dry or is in need of it. Would I recommend this to a friend? sure why not? It's a well known brand which gives you a sorta of brand security and trust.

So i was a little hesitant with this shampoo, as im super loyal to my salon brand. but this i was very surprised at how light this made my hair feel and it didn't dry my hair out at all but left is so nice and soft! So that definitely proves this is a moisture shampoo! So im actually thinking of completely switching over, because it will definitely save me a lot of money. I'd definitely recommend this to anyone who is looking for a drugstore shampoo with salon results.
