I was so lucky to have been able to try three flavours of the Brookside Chocolate Tablet Bars for free as part of the Chick Advisor Review Club. I really enjoyed the Brookside Dark Chocolate Tart Cherry Crisp with Pomegranate, it was my second favourite of the three bars I tasted (the other flavours are Blueberry Almond with Acai and Mango Coconut Crunch).
I have tried many different Brookside products and I find that they are a great quality company with really interesting mixtures. The chocolate table bars retail for an average of $3.69 and I think that this is a great deal and well worth the money.
The dark chocolate in the Tart Cherry Crisp with Pomegranate is rich and creamy with the perfect amount of sweet. You get a great combination of cherry, pomegranate crunch in each bite. It is chewy and crispy and tart and sweet all at the same time which I really liked.

You can immediately smell the mango when you open the Brookside Dark Chocolate Mango Coconut Crisp packaging. The chocolate is creamy with the perfect amount of sweetness. I did find that the mango was the star of this chocolate and I would have loved if you could taste the coconut a little bit more. I also really like the crispys as they give a great little crunch.

I was so lucky to have been able to try three flavours of the Brookside Chocolate Tablet Bars for free as part of the Chick Advisor Review Club, and I have to say the Blueberry Almond with Acai Flavour was my absolute favourite. Actually, almost any chocolate with almonds has my attention so I was almost sure before I tried them all that this would be my number one (the other flavours are Mango Coconut Crunch and Tart Cherry Crisp with Pomegranate).
I have tried many different Brookside products and I find that they are a great quality company with really interesting mixtures. The Brookside Chocolate Tablet Bar in Blueberry Almond with Acai Flavour had a great creamy chocolate texture and I loved the bits of almond for that great crunch and the blueberries added a great chewiness. There are tons of blueberries in the bar but the fruit flavour is pretty mild which I found a perfect indulgence for my sweets craving and I would absolutely buy this to satisfy my chocolate urges.

I Received the Vichy Idealia Skin Sleep complimentary from Chick Advisor Product Review Club.
I was pretty excited to get the chance to try the Vichy Idealia Skin Sleep because I was really looking for a little help with my skin and this cream is a bit on the pricey side so I am happy to try before I buy. It would be great if it's claims to provide radiant, smooth and rested skin upon awakening truly worked (even a bit).
The packaging is pretty, a pink jar that opens easily. As for the ingredients, it contains - Hyaluronic acid: (hydrates, re-plumps), Glycyrrhizic acid: (protects skin's natural hyaluronic acid from breakdown, ensures cellular functions), Repairing oils rich in omegas: (ensure deep moisture within the skin, restore barrier functions), Vitamin B3: (anti-inflammatory, soothing), Caffeine: (stimulates micro-circulation, drainage and cellular energy), & LHA: (exfoliates, promotes cellular renewal). The cream is also paraben-free and hypoallergenic so it should be good for all skin types. I think that covers all the basis for a great start...
The cream itself is pink and has a gel/balm texture and a light scent which is supposed to be a relaxing mix of jasmine and green tea. The scent is not my favorite but it is not strong and fades away very soon after application. I don't normally like products in jars because it immediately is exposed to the air and any contaminants that might be around as well as what ever may be on your fingers when you put them in the jar are added to the mix. I have a few extra spatulas around so I used one to get the rich cream out before applying.
When you first put it on the mask feels a bit sticky to the skin but just wait for a few minutes and then rub it in to your skin until it is fully absorbed. I don't love the tacky texture but after it just feels smooth and soft on your skin which I adore. I don't want to exaggerate but even after the first application I was impressed with how well the product worked. For this review I used it for two weeks applying about every second night and I noticed that my skin absolutely felt much softer and was definitely plumper. I think what I was most appreciated was that my skin looks vibrant, fresh and toned.
Overall I REALLY liked this product - it works so well and feels great and a little bit goes a long way.

I am so happy that I go to try the Batiste Dry Shampoo. I have tried tons of different kinds (mainly through subscription boxes) and Batiste is by far my favorite. My hair is very fine and on the thin side so I tend to wash it almost every day because if I don't it gets really limp and very oily.
I found that It sprays out a light mist that distributes an even amount of product directly to the hair. My hair is very dark so I have to make sure that I really rub/brush it in or it can leave a bit of white residue. I think that I would try the one made specifically for dark hair next time. The scent is also nice and not too overpowering but it comes in many scents so there is quite a bit of variety.
I was really impressed with this dry shampoo it absolutely does what it says - it absorbs the excess oil and most importantly (to me) is that it provides added body and texture to hair. I will definitely use again.

Mirenesse - Lip Bomb in 13 Retail Value $35.
This is one costly lipgloss and is not for the budget challenged. This lip product is supposed to be a combination of gloss, stain & lip lacquer. It feels velvety when it is applied and does have a lot of staying power but the color stays on top of the lips and doesn’t blend well. I tried using a lip brush on the highly pigmented color and that helped a bit but is still looks a bit unnatural. I think the thing that I liked least is the smell of the gloss - it has a strong chemical odor. I would not recommend this product especially considering the expense.

I absolutely love this product!
I originally received a sample of it and immediately fell in love. It smells terrific and leaves your hair so soft and shiny. It is completely weightless, my fine hair can easily be weighed down by product and in turn can cause it to look limp and greasy, but even by day two my hair feels light and looks smooth. Although I think the product is worth the $24 price tag I find that it's a little on the expensive side.

I don't like to wear foundation but I find that this cc cream has a light but flawless coverage. It evens out my skin tone and covers my skin imperfections. I do set it with a loose powder and it lasts all day and it does not look overdone in the least. I have a light complexion and I purchased the 'fair' shade and it matches my skin tone perfectly both in natural and artificial lighting.
With an advanced, lightweight formula, this color-correcting cream is a game changer with the proven ability to visibly lessen the appearance of dark spots, sun spots, and post-acne marks instantly and over time. It neutralizes and brightens skin for a more even complexion and primes, perfects, protects with SPF 30, adding moisture without creating excess oil.

Your new go-to blush! This flattering shade of pinky peach blush can work with any skin tone. It can be worn very lightly for a shimmery flush or layered for a deep glamorous glow. There are some sparkly golden tones in the blush that add a beautiful highlight. This blush is on the higher cost scale but it will last you for a long time and can be worn all year round - looks amazing with a summery tan! -

To say that I love this mascara seems like an understatement. This is absolutely the best mascara I have ever tried. It thickens my lashes and lengthens them without looking clumpy. I can put it on in the morning and it still be perfectly applied without smudges when I get home from work 10 hours later! The wand is perfect for getting at the tiny lashes in the corner of my eye and separates each lash. It is on the medium to high scale for price but it truly has the quality to deserve it's price tag. -
