I received this product for free as part of the ChickAdvisor product review program.
I am a girl who loves to have white teeth despite being a coffee drinker. One of the biggest selling points of toothpaste for me is the whitening factor, so I was excited to try out Arm and Hammer's Truly Radiant toothpaste which claims to give a radiant smile in just 5 days. I have been using the toothpaste, day and night, for a week now and I do notice that my teeth feel whiter and brighter, so I am happy. The only downside for me is that I'm not used to using baking soda toothpaste and so I had to get used to the taste of it initially. However, I've also heard that this would be great for those with sensitive teeth and gums as well! Overall, I am very pleased with this product and recommend it to those who love a bright smile :)

Thank you Chick Advisor for letting me test out Nair's new Candy Apple Sugar Wax. I've tried at-home waxing before but always resorted to shaving because I found waxing to be too messy, difficult, and not worth the result. This product has re-opened my eyes to waxing as an effective method to hair removal!
Upon receiving the product, I found the instructions to be straight forward and easy to follow. The package includes 15 reusable cloth wax strips, a wooden spatula, and the jar of wax. The first thing I have to say is.. I was extremely impressed with the scent of the wax. It smells exactly as its name states - sweet and apple-y! The wax went on nicely and smoothly, and the bright red colour made it easy to see where I had applied the product. The effectiveness of the wax still isn't 100% there for me.. but it may be because my hairs were still quite short. I will be trying this product again after my hair has grown in a bit more. One major pro is the clean-up. The wax rinsed off my legs very easily, and the wax strips and wooden spatula were also super easy to clean. I appreciated that a lot!

I received this product as part of Chick Advisor's product review club. I was extermely excited to try it out as I've wanted to purchase it in store but wasn't willing to shell out the cash.
The strips are easy to use and adhere well, even to my never-been-braced imperfect teeth. I was a bit worried that some teeth would turn out whiter than others, but the whitening effect was even throughout. I continued to talk and drink water like normal with the strips on, and they stayed one with my teeth throughout the whole two hours.
After my first use, I noticed whitening right away.. they were at least a shade whiter (quite white to start out with). There was a bit of sensitivity but it was nothing major. After using them for the entire week, there is a definite difference. I have gotten quite a few compliments on how much whiter my smile is. It is definitely a confidence booster and makes me want to smile more! Thank you Chick Advisor for the wonderful opportunity! I will definitely be re-purchasing this, and it is well worth the price.

I received the Revlon Crazy Shine To Go Buffer as a part of the ChickAdvisor review club. These are the perfect size to stow and use on the go. They work extremely well and made my nails buffed and shiny within 5 minutes. I also used the patterned side over previously applied nail polish to revive the lustre and that worked well too. The patterned side does create a squeaky sound that makes me squirm when buffing my nails, but that's a small issue that is nothing in comparison to the effectiveness of this product. Highly recommended! -

These tampons are a great product. They are easily and comfortably inserted, absorb great, and what makes them stand out from other tampons is their re-sealable pouch for discreet disposal. What else can you ask for from a tampon? Definitely give this product a try, you will not be disappointed!

Out of the pads, tampons, and liners I received from ChickAdvisor to write a review on, I was definitely the most excited to try these. Let me just say... they did NOT disappoint! I fell in love with the fact that they accompany to all types of panties, including thongs. They're so thin I forget that they're even there, but they do their job and absorb very well. Great overall product! -

I was chosen as a Chick Advisor to test out the Always Radiant Infinity Pads.
When I first received them, I was attracted to the sleek packaging, but a bit turned off by their scent. Upon using them, however, I feel in love! The absorption ability is the best I've experienced, and there is no disgusting moistness I get from other brands. The scent also grew on me, it is a nice fresh clean smell. Overall, an excellent product and I thank ChickAdvisor for letting me try these out!

I was lucky enough to chosen by Chick Advisor to use and rate Oral B's Pulsonic Power Toothbrush. This was my first time using an electrical powered toothbrush and to be honest, I was at first skeptical about how it would differ from a regular manual toothbrush. Boy, was I wrong! After only one use, I felt like my teeth were cleaner and more polished than I could ever get them with a manual toothbrush. I've been using this toothbrush twice a day for less than a week and I already notice visibly cleaner teeth. I also appreciate how slim it is and how the small stand doesn't take up much room on my bathroom countertop. I love my new toothbrush, and I'm excited to see a whiter smile soon too! -

I was chosen as one of the ChickAdvisors to try and rate Garnier's new HerbaShine, an ammonia free demi-permanent hair dye. I was extremely excited, as my hair was dyed a few months back and my dark, nearly black coloured roots were sharply contrasting the light brown that I had dyed it, looking awful. I chose a dark brown (colour #400) in the hopes of giving my hair a nice, even rich brown tone.
First off, I could not for the LIFE of me get the cap off of the activating cream!! I asked everyone around me to help and must have spent a good fifteen minutes figuring out different ways to get the cap to twist off, but it didn't even budge. I gave up and had to improvise with another bottle I had lying around... it made dying my hair very difficult and drippy. The process of dying my hair was thus made more aggravating than normal, and the formula was also more runny than I'm used to. On the plus side, I did appreciate the fact that it was ammonia-free, making me feel a bit better about colouring my hair. And it smelled very nice. However, the final result was still disappointing. My black roots are still black, not dark brown, and my light brown hair is still light brown. If I hadn't told my friends I dyed my hair, nobody would have noticed.
Overall, I wouldn't recommend this product. The fact that I couldn't get the cap off of the activating cream made the entire process more difficult than normal, and the results were not up to par to my expectations. The only thing I appreciated was the conditioner - by far the most amazing I've used! Super thick, nice smelling, and my hair does feel smoother. I just wish the colour changed was more obvious.

I was very happy to be selected to attend the Breyers Smooth and Dreamy ice cream tasting event. I tried all the flavours, and it wasn't until after my second scoop and it was announced that the ice cream was half the fat that I had realized. I almost could not believe that this sweet, delicious, creamy goodness was half the fat!
As far as flavors go:
Mocha Fudge Brownie: my personal favourite. the mocha takes the sweetness down a notch, making it perfect. little brownie chunks also add a nice texture change to the ice cream.
Dulce de Leche: second favourite. If you are a caramel lover, this is the ice cream for you!
Vanilla: always a classic. Stays true to its flavor and the creamy texture just makes it so much better.
Strawberries and Cream: A bit too sweet, and I personally perfer strawberry pieces rather than a swirl.
Chocolate: Tastes like a churned fudge-sicle!
The product is great. The only downside of it is its price. $9 at my local grocery store, it is definitely pricey for a bucket of ice cream. However, for people who are watching their weight and see ice cream as a rare chance for indulgence - this maximizes yummyness and minimizes guilt!
