While Schwarzkopf Root Retoucher did deliver on covering my skunk-like roots, it left my hair very sticky. To really test it, I left it in my hair for a few days. I must say the grey did stay covered but I suspect it is because there is some kind of adhesive that attaches the colour to the hair.
I don't think I will purchase this one.
However, I am grateful for the opportunity to try it first.
Thanks Schwarzkopf.

Tried this one along with the chocolate flavour. I have to say I didn't care for the vanilla. Maybe it has too much artificial sweetener along with the artificial vanilla. I usually love vanilla but this one missed the mark for me.
I won't be buying this one again until the flavour is corrected.

I have avoided these protein shakes in the past because they contain so much sugar. Finally, there is a tasty protein shake for me. I am a self proclaimed choco-holic so this tastes like a cheat but is good for me too! I have to admit, it is almost too sweet for my taste buds. However, I like to mix other things into it - like my morning coffee. It is a tasty jump start to the day without feeling like I had a bowl of sugar.
I will definitely be adding this to my regular shopping list.

I, as always, am happy to have the opportunity to sample and review things from ChickAdvisor. When I was selected to try this PowerBar, I did my happy dance.
This Lemon Poppy Seed PowerBar is reminiscent of the muffins I used to love to eat. Having taken on a low carb lifestyle a few years ago, those were no longer part of my eating habit. However, I must say that this bar was a beyond my expectations. The flavour is real and the bar is satisfying. Actually, I found that half a bar did the trick for me and I felt like I was 'cheating' on my own lifestyle!
The sweetener used in this is perfect and allows the lemon and poppy seed flavours to shine through.
I was expected to not like this bar and was pleasantly surprised by how really delicious it is.
Big thumbs up for this PowerBar!
Thanks.

PowerBar ProteinPlus Reduced Sugar Creamy Chocolate Peanut Butter

I was so excited to receive the opportunity to sample and review this PowerBar. Finally! A PowerBar that isn't super high in sugar and carbohydrates! I was delighted. I mean, come on, Who doesn't love chocolate and peanut butter?
However, the sugar substitute used in creating this lower sugar alternative overpowered the taste of my beloved chocolate and peanut butter.
I hope that they will adjust the amount of sweetener used (or try a different one) so that the peanut -ty goodness can shine through.
While I love the idea, I cannot recommend the flavour of this one bar.

I received the opportunity to try la Roche-Posay Ultra Micellar Water for Reactive Skin a couple of weeks ago and have been using it at least daily ever since.
This not only lives up to the claims, it exceeds it! Often, when I try a new product, my skin gets red for a few days till it gets used to it. Not this! From the first day all it did was really clean my face. I used it after my regular cleaning regime and it took even more off that my regular cleanser missed. Wow! My face also felt, not just clean, but moisturized. (Everything else I have tried left my face craving my moisturizer - STAT!)
I have never been this excited about a face cleanser in my life! lol It even takes my eye makeup off without stinging like my other stuff.
To say I am sold on this is the understatement of the year. I am now a lifelong FAN!
Thank you La Roche-Posay. And Thank You Chick Advisor.

I have been using Dove Style + Care Amplifier Mousse for a few years now. I first bought it while on vacation (when I forgot my usual mousse at home). The price was very reasonable and I liked other Dove products so I gave it a try. This mousse worked well and left my hair feeling soft and natural rather than crunchy like other mousse. Though the price is great, the adage of "less is more" is appropriate for this mousse. An egg sized spray is more than enough for long hair. Use too much and your hair might appear a bit greasy and weighed down. But using a bit less, it holds well and hair looks and smells great. -

I suffer from sensitive and dry skin. I cannot tolerate fragrances so this lotion was interesting to me. The lotion is creamy but not greasy. It absorbs into my hands quickly and leaves them feeling 'normal'. I really like this lotion.The price point is reasonable because you don't have to use a lot to be effective. -

Loved using it and will use it at home for my regular cleaning regime now.
thanks Nivea!

I decided to wait to try this till opening night of a play in which I am performing. No higher stress than worrying that you might forget a line or a cue. Add the hot stage lights and it could be a recipe for disaster. But Secret Clinical Strength invisible solid to the rescue! Not only did it keep me dry and, um, "fragrant-free" , it didn't rub off on my costumes.
This antiperspirant works well! Thanks Secret! - This will be a secret no more as I shout it from the rooftops!
