Thank you to Chick Advisory for the opportunity to try this product as well as the Vichy cleansing foam for free! Before trying these products, I had never tried any Vichy products before ... although I really wanted to because I had heard nothing but good things about the brand! Well, I will have to say that the wait was worth it because I am very impressed. I rarely wear water proof mascara or other water proof products, but when I do, it's always a struggle to remove this makeup at the end of the day. This Vichy makeup remover though, made it seem like a cakewalk! I have very sensitive skin, so I'm so so happy that I no longer have to stand there and scrub at my eyes when I'd rather be in bed reading or sleeping! -

Wow! This product is really powerful. I really like the scent, since it's a really nice smell and it's not too strong. I could tell how concentrated this product is when I put it on my face though, since I felt a cooling sensation on my skin the entire time that I had it on! Another indicator was that one should only leave the mask on for 2-3 minutes max! My skin felt very clean and refreshed afterward, and I do think that it combated my acne from the very first use. I also want to note that I have been following the instruction that says not to use this product as a mask more than once a week! I think that listening to instructions like that is very important, especially when it comes to skincare. I also like that this product can also act as a cleanser! Really great overall, and I look forward to seeing the results it has on my skin in the long run. -
Breyers Vanilla Peanut Butter Non-Dairy Frozen Dessert

I have tried a number of non-dairy ice creams before (I do not remember who made them), and always found that they were lacking. They just weren't delicious enough to make up for the lack of dairy. I love the flavour of dairy, but my stomach and skin are not great fans of it. Anyway, when I saw that Breyers would be coming out with a non-dairy ice cream, I knew that I had to try it! I have tried Breyers ice cream before, and had faith that their non-dairy options would be delicious as well. I was selected to try out the Vanilla Peanut Butter flavour (although the Cookies & Cream option sounds delicious as well) and was very excited about this because I love both vanilla and peanut butter. I will admit that I was a little afraid that I might be let down again flavour-wise ... but it turns out that I had nothing to worry about! The Vanilla Peanut Butter flavour is delicious, and I couldn't even tell that it was made with almonds / almond milk! To be honest, if I hadn't know that it was non-dairy, I might not have been able to tell. This has definitely been the best non-dairy ice cream that I've tried so far, and I will for sure be purchasing the vanilla peanut butter flavour again, and will also be trying to cookies and cream flavour for sure! -

I had become a little skeptical when it comes to makeup primers because I have tried them in the past, and while they HAVE worked, there have also been some downsides to them. When I say that they worked, I mean that yes, they kept my makeup on longer. And when it comes to issues, I mean that there would be flaking, buildup of product in certain areas, and even oiliness just a few hours into wearing the primer under my makeup. I have combination skin, so I always struggle with my skin being too dry in places (causing flakiness, yugh), and too oily in others (double yugh)! Something about the formula used in this Nude by Nature primer though really seems to work with my skin. Everything stayed on nicely an remained matte, and there was also no flaking and no product clumping. I'm really happy with this and will be buying a full-sized tube once I run out of this sample tube! Thank you for sending this to me to try for free, ChickAdvisor! -

3/5 stars overall.
I’d used other products by this company before, and have always been impressed. The mask itself was moisturizing, and made my skin happy. There was no residue after I removed the mask and worked the remaining moisturize into my skin. I did not enjoy the scent of this mask, however, which was disappointing, because I was expecting something like apple pie. I ended up removing this mask before the indicated time, because I didn’t like the smell. Luckily, the smell didn’t linger very long after I removed the sheet from my face and worked the remaining product into my skin.

I really liked the smell, and was happy to find that you only need to use a very small amount of product to get a good foam going. My skin felt fresh and clean after every use! This product comes in other scents, but I’m glad that I received the pomegranate one, because I’m not sure if I would have appreciated the other smells, haha. -

I love honey-scented things (more so than real honey smell, haha), because I find it soothing, and am a big fan of sweet scents. This mask was very relaxing, and left my skin feeling supple and nourished. The smell was subtle, and the mask was moist enough to stick to the skin, rather than it being too dry and peeling off (which has happened to me with other sheet masks that I’ve used in the past). The only complaint I might have, is that the mask dimensions (eye holes, mask size, etc.) were not the most suitable for my face. Overall, though, I really liked this mask, and it was a great experience for me, considering that this was the first time that I tried a sheet mask by It’s Skin! -

This banana squeeze bottle is super cute! It smells fantastic, and moisturizes my hands without leaving any sticky or oily residue. I was very happy with this product, and will likely buy some on my own when I run out. (For those of you who have had korean banana milk before ((mmmm)), this hand cream actually smells like that drink!) I’ve been using this hand cream almost daily since I received it in a subscription box on March 1st, and its lasted me pretty well, since I’m not out yet. -

I’d always wanted to try and wear blue nail polish, but never really felt brave enough for it. I was impressed that I only needed 2 coats to get the right opacity and colour. The colour was vibrant, the formula of the nail polish felt great, and I was very pleased at how long this nail polish lasted on me, because I’m not very careful when it comes to my nails, and find that I usually destroy at least one nail by the first day, haha. Overall, I would give this nail polish (or at least this particular shade by this brand) 5 out of 5! -
Aveeno Ultra-Calming Daily Moisturizer with SPF 30

Combined with the cleanser, these 2 products have been the most successful so far at reducing the redness in my face (especially after taking a hot shower). I used the cleanser while in the shower, which reduced some of the redness already. Then after drying my fave, I applied this moisturizer and waited a little. Members of my family noticed right away, when I stepped out of the bathroom, that my skin was very very calm compared to other times that they've seen me step out of the bathroom post-shower. I did find that when I applied another layer of the moisturizer (because my skin gets really dry in the winter, and need a little more help), the sunscreen started collecting on my eyebrows, and along the edges of my face. I do appreciate that there is sunscreen in this moisturizer, but could do without it as well. That being said, I think that this moisturizer would be perfect for me during the summer months, because I would need to use less product (so there would be no accumulation of sunscreen), and because of the SPF 30, -
