I've been trying out a "cleanse" tea version from Teapigs. It's supposed to help cleanse and detox your body, helping with feeling bloated.
Taking it out from the box, the scent was so strong that I thought it would have a strong taste, but that was not the case at all. It was very light and slightly sweet with a hint of ginger aftertaste.
I was also super impressed with their 100% plant-based packaging, which means that all of the materials are 100% compostable. So cool!
I also love the fact that all the ingredients in this tea is organic which is great for a healthy lifestyle. It is also gluten free, very suitable for vegetarians and vegans.
I really enjoyed this tea. I'm now curious to try out other flavours from Teapigs!

These Neutrogena Hydroboost makeup wipes are great and very convenient to use. Although I prefer to use cleansing oils that emulsify, these face wipes are much more convenient to use without any possible spilling or getting oil in your eyes. These clean my whole face without tugging the skin, leaving my face very hydrating and non drying. Other wipes I've tried in the past have often left an oily residue on my face, but these do not. These wipes are economical, smells great, effective, works great on both sunscreen and makeup! -
BAND-AID® Brand Adhesive Bandages Hydro Seal™ Advanced Healing, 10 count

One would think that any bandage is the same. That is true in the sense that they all serve the same purpose, but the quality are not all the equal. Band-Aid Hydro Seal by Johnson & Johnson surprised me in how well it kept out water and dirt when I used it. I had washed and showered with it on and it stays put and kept my cut dry. Even after multiple washes with soap! Due to its hydrocolloid gel material, it's flexible and bends with your movement and the curves of your skin while also providing a soft cushion-like feeling to reduce the pain from the swelling of the wound. I've never used any bandage that is this long lasting of such high quality. This is a must have for all household of all ages as part of their first aid kit. -

I'm so glad Chickadvisor gave me a chance to try Love Beauty and Planet Coconut Milk and White Jasmine hair shampoo because I wouldn't have known about it. My hair is very soft after using it and I can tell it leaves it less frizzy, which most curly hair gals would be familiar with. The scent is very pleasant, although I found the jasmine scent was stronger then the coconut scent. I would prefer the coconut scent to be a bit more noticeable, but that's just my personal preference. The shampoo comes out quite thick and rich but makes the hair feels very nice with all the suds as you lather up. Overall, a great product with natural ingredients. -

Thanks to Chickadvisor I have found my new favorite hairspray. I love the fact that it comes in a clear non-aerosol spray bottle because it allows me to know how much product is left. It comes out in very fine mist that does not make my hair feel crispy or hard at all. My hair is actually very soft and flexible while my hairstyle is always being held in place! It also does not smell bad either. I'm a new believer in this product. -

I'm really thankful Chickadvisor gave me a chance to try Love and Beauty Planet Coconut Milk and White Jasmine condition because I wouldn't have otherwise known about its effectiveness and quality. My hair is a bit wavy and this conditioner did not weigh down my hair at all, leaving it really soft. I liked the scent, however I thought the Jasmine scent was a bit too strong and overpowering the coconut scent rendering the latter to be not noticeable to the nose at all. But overall, I really liked the effectiveness of this hair conditioner and I really love the natural aspect of it. This is a great product for every hair type in my opinion, not just curly hair. -

I received Neutrogena Pink Grapefruit Acne Prone Skin Peel Off Mask to try for free. Right off the bat, the scent coming from opening the package was just invigorating. The citrus scent was very lovely and it felt very relaxing as I put it on my face. After letting it dry, it was really easy to peel off. My face felt really soft. I like using this type of msk more than clay masks for the same benefits because it is not as messy to use and does not require an extra step of washing it off. Overall, a very effective and fun way to mask! -

I received Neutrogena Pink Grapefruit Acne Prone Clay mask to try for free. My face was acting up with a couple of pimples that were really red, so I decided to try this clay mask. Initially I found the texture of the mask was a bit difficult to spread on my skin, but as it warmed up on my skin it was easier. The scent is lovely, very citrusy. After washing it off, my face was very bright and my pimples were less red. However, it was very drying for me. I found that I had to immediately moisturize my skin after washing it off because it left my skin feeling very tight. Overall, very effective at reducing acne inflammation, just a bit too drying. -

I received Neutrogena Pink Grapefruit Acne Prone Cream to Foam Cleanser to try for free. I knew off the bat that this cleanser would be too drying for me. I don't have sensitive skin, but I found it leaving my skin very dry and irritated after using it for a week. I do like the lovely grapefruit scent and it lathered really well from cream form. It was very effective in removing all my sunscreen and makeup. I think this would be better for those who have oily skin. Overall, very lovely cleanser, just not for dry skin folks. -
