I love love love these drops!! I’ve been looking for a serum to add some life back into my dry skin and these are incredible. They have a lovely fresh scent, I’m sensitive to fragrance and they don’t irritate me at all. They have a thin consistency so a little goes a long way but are super hydrating and I could tell a difference in how plump and glowy my skin felt after only a few days! I’ve used them on their own and mixed in with my usual moisturizers and they work great both ways, I prefer to apply them on their own and then layer other products on top, I feel like they absorb better that way. They also play great with makeup and don’t mess with my primer or cause any sort of pilling. I received them free to test and review but I’ve already bought a backup because I feel like they may sell out once more people have a chance to try them! Definitely recommend:) -

Thank you Vichy and Chickadvisor for the chance to try this awesome stuff for free! I was terrified of facial oils in my younger years but now 2 kids and a lot of stress later, my skin isn't looking so hot - it's dull, dry and crepey. This was exactly what I needed! It's super lightweight and absorbs literally instantly, I don't like feeling greasy or super shiny and this didn't give me that problem whatsoever. It smells SO good, lovely and fresh! I dispense 3-4 tiny drops into my palms, rub them together to warm up the product and press gently into my skin for 30-60 seconds morning and night after moisturizer, it leaves my skin feeling nourished, glowy and just all around healthy and beautiful. This was the one product that has garnered me the most compliments on my skin over the past month! Pro tip - always apply oils like this AFTER your moisturizer to seal them in and promote better absorption. The molecules of this product are so small and light, they'll prevent your moisturizer from sinking in properly if you apply it first! You can also mix a drop or 2 in with your foundation for the most beautiful healthy glowy finish, I highly recommend! -

Thank you Vichy and Chickadvisor for the chance to try this amazing stuff! I'm a huge skincare junkie, have always eyeballed Vichy products but never took the plunge because the price tag can be quite high. Definitely kicking myself now, this cream is worth every single penny and I can't live without it! My skin is combination, super parched and dry on my cheeks and around my eyes and oily in the tzone, my fine lines are creeping up on me very fast (thanks motherhood!). I applied this every morning after cleansing and before sunscreen and slathered it on every night before bed and my skin has been super balanced and glowy! It's rich enough to plump up and hydrate my dry spots but doesn't make me feel super gross or oily anywhere else, it's like my skin works with it to take exactly what it needs. Also smells amazing, light and fresh and clean! I'm sensitive to fragrances and this didn't bother me one bit, I highly recommend it whether you are young or older, I've already purchased a backup for when this one runs out! -

I have combination skin and have been using this daily for over 3 weeks, I really like it! However, I don't use it how they market it, I've found a way that works better for me. As for my skin, my tzone and chin get oily and breakout, but my cheeks are dry/flaky and I have some fine lines and dehydration around my eyes. They say this is used as a one step makeup remover, cleanser and toner and while it does remove 85% of makeup, I found I had to scrub a bit too much to remove stubborn waterproof makeup and had some eye irritation. It doesn't lather or foam, it just turns slick and milky with water and leaves my face feeling clean and with a layer of moisture leftover. I can't tissue off though, I have to rinse with water. If you're anything like me, you need that foaminess to REALLY feel clean and this alone doesn't do it. However, when I cleanse with a regular cleanser and follow up with a massage of this and rinse, it works AMAZING to keep my face from feeling too dry or tight, just comfortable and soft. It's a fantastic addition to a more heavy duty cleanser if you have combo skin, really helps to balance everything out! I'd def buy it again, great value and not too pricey :) -

I love this stuff! I'm 29, turning 30 and starting to notice more and more dryness, wrinkles and fine lines forming around my eyes and mouth. With that said, I still get very oily in the tzone and I'm very prone to hormonal breakouts on my chin, so I have to be careful that my products don't aggravate that. I was given the chance to try the Nivea Serum Pearls free through the ChickAdvisor Review Club and have been using it faithfully for just over a week. In the mornings, I cleanse with my usual cleanser and Clarisonic, follow with 2 pumps of this serum all over my face and neck, follow with sunscreen and makeup. It smells nice, but the scent is the one thing I would change or take points off for, it is SO STRONG. Almost nauseating strong, like floral baby powder perfumed serum. Thankfully I'm not super sensitive to fragrance so it doesn't irritate me, but this would be a major issue for anyone who is. The texture is a strange lumpy yellow gel once it's pumped out, but it smoothes on beautifully and absorbs in seconds, leaving behind a soft and powdery matte finish. A word of advice, be careful not to use too much of this, 1-2 pumps MAX because it does ball up in chalky chunks if you overapply. Bonus points because it makes a lovely makeup primer! My foundation went on smooth and lasted longer than usual. As for the results, it's still too early to tell but I definitely notice a difference in my skin texture and dryness, my face feels smoother and seems to drink my moisturizer in better, I definitely recommend this serum and I'm looking forward to sticking with it to see the results with my fine lines! Please make this fragrance free and it would be perfect! -

I was invited to try out a DQ cake for free through the ChickAdvisor Product Review Club and I`m thrilled I did! It could not have come at a more perfect time as we were celebrating my Moms birthday September 19th.
I was happy to find that my local DQ does take online orders and the ordering process was very easy. There was a great selection of cakes from fancy blizzard flavours to basic decorated cakes. We ordered the Turtle Pecan Cluster in the 8`` size for 30.99 and not only was the cake perfect and delicious but much bigger than I had pictured in my mind. My order was confirmed in seconds and the cake was ready to go right when I requested pickup 3 days later. I was in and out the door in 2 minutes flat. I`m super pleased with my experience and will definitely be using the service again! Thanks!

I love these shadows!
They're super creamy, super pigmented and come in a ton of beautiful shades! What I love about these is that not only are they really easy to blend and smudge out, but they set to a beautiful not-gonna-budge-for-anything finish. They work flawlessly as a base to make your powder shadows pop and last all day (skip the primer, it's unnecessary!) but they also lock on and don't crease at all if you wear them alone.
The price seemed steep at first (roughly $10 or so in stores here in Ontario) but I've had mine for over a year, used them pretty regularly and I've barely made a dent. They will last you fooorreevverrr so definitely a steal for that price. My all-time favourite shades are Tough as Taupe and Bold Gold - both beautiful on any eye colour. Highly recommend! :)

I was fortunate enough to have the chance to test these through the ChickAdvisor product review program and I'm so glad I did! My 3 year old son and I are staying with my Mom temporarily and lately it's been hard to find snacks that work for all of us.
These bars are fantastic, they have just the right amount of sweetness that my son loves them, but not too sickening sweet like most granola bars that the rest of us won't enjoy. The quinoa has a rich, hearty flavour and pairs perfectly with the touch of chocolate on the bottom. We brought a couple to the park and tried them for a quick dessert the next night, they were a hit all around!
Combine that with a great price, good sized bars and pronounceable ingredients and it's safe to say we'll be purchasing these again when we do our grocery shop this weekend. Highly recommend! :)

I have a ton of lip balms, everything from cutesy fun to strong and medicated. This is my everyday favourite for all year round! It's incredible hydrating, smells & tastes like cherry candy and you get a generous amount in the tube so it lasts forever even with multiple times a day use. It has just a hint of colour, not enough to look like a gloss or stain, it just makes your own lip colour look healthier and more alive. I keep one by my bed, one in my purse and one by my computer, it's perfect! -

While this moisturizer alone doesn't get rid of acne, it's a great addition to a good acne-fighting cleanser. When you use strong acne cleansers, you want a moisturizer that is enough to hydrate dry flakey bits, but not so heavy that it makes the cleanser obselete and clogs up your face all over again. If that sounds like you, give this a try! It has a pleasant fresh scent, feels cool and refreshing on the face and absorbs very fast with no residue or oiliness. Works perfectly before applying makeup and one bottle lasts me a few months, I use it with the Clean & Clear Advantage 3-in-1 Cream Cleanser (which is very drying but works a charm) and they pair perfectly. I will keep repurchasing this. -
