I was given this product to test out for free from ChickAdvisor. I have been on the hunt for a natural, aluminum free deodorant that will keep me scent free for the day for the past 2 years. They haven't always been natural, like this one, but for the past 10 years, nothing ever worked unless it was a "clinical deodorant". Many won't last, irritate my underarms, leave a residue or I become sticky.
So this Dove deodorant, it's 100% for me. There's no residue, it's thin, balmy texture. I love the great, light cucumber scent, which is typical for Dove products. It does keep me generally scent free for the day, not dry, which it doesn't claim to do. It would be perfect except this formula leaves my underarms sticky. I hate that feeling. My skin sticks to my skin, clothing sticks to it, any "fuzzies" get caught up in it. So because of that, I'm not a fan

Canada Dry Lemonade Flavoured Ginger Ale
If you're a fan of ginger ale or lemon drinks, you may want to pick this up for a change. I this has a light lemon taste, nothing to sweet or tart. It's for sure more tart, but it's more of a hint. I'm not a fan of lemon aid, but this would be a... +
If you're a fan of ginger ale or lemon drinks, you may want to pick this up for a change. I this has a light lemon taste, nothing to sweet or tart. It's for sure more tart, but it's more of a hint. I'm not a fan of lemon aid, but this would be a great substitute. Drinking this on a hot day, would be a nice refreshing drink!
My only complaint is the amount of sugar in this drink. It's nothing crazy for a "regular" drink.

I was able to try out this moisturizer for free from Chick Advisor. I have used the Neutrogena face gel cream moisturizer and if you like the feeling of that product, this is pretty much the same. There is no scent, it's got a great thick gel/cream texture, glide onto your skin. Absorbs quickly, hydrates all day, and leaves your skin feeling super smooth and soft. There's no wet or sticky feeling. I love using this on my arms, it really does something good for the skin, and I can notice it there. Also the fact that they have a short pump is great, but the pump locks!! That's amazing to have on a drug store product. -

I was excited to get a chance to try this product for free with Chick Advisor. I haven't bothered dyeing my hair as I have a "lovely grey streak" in the front of my face, and more sparse greys along the rest of my hair. If I dyed it, I would go crazy with watching the roots as it grows out, so instead I dye the rest of my head and leave the streak alone.
I'm still on the fence with this product after trying it a few times. I love the colour match, I have dark brown hair and the dark brown shade matches me perfectly. There's no red undertone which is always a concern of mine. The packaging is great, the brush works perfectly. The brush is a short plastic bristled brush that easily combs the product on you hair and allows you to do it with some precision. I do need to rub off some of the extra product when using it. If you layer it on to thick, it won't dry down and it then transfers. It doesn't make your hair "crunchy", however I did only use it on my roots. It also gives you hair a natural look, not shiny/oily, nor matte. There's no scent to the product, I was worried it would have a paint scent.
So is it a good product, yes! Long term, no! If you have an event or something that you don't want your roots showing, this is a great quick and cheap fix. Would I purchase it again, I'm not sure, I would need it for the right event.

I've been trying to stay away from my favourite clinical deodorants and have switched to all natural ones. This have been a challenge! In the middle of this precess I picked up this dry spray as I kept seeing lots of people raving about it. Well it's not clinical or natural, but it is easier on my underarms and it did kept the stink away! It takes a bit to get used to the sprayer, but it's a good product. -

I have never tried a flavoured club soda, however I do drink flavoured carbonated water. I like club sodas to begin with, so being able to try a pomegranate-cherry flavoured one for free was a great bonus!
I find flavoured waters aren't always the best, the flavour is lacking and then if it is carbonated water, it gets flat very fast. This isn't the case with this flavoured club soda! I like the light fruit flavour and especially that it is natural and not artificial, as so many of artificial flavoured drinks taste terrible. But the carbonation is with you till the last drop.
This is an great option and it's not really priced higher than any other brand.

I don't always use hairspray, as I'm always concerned to end up with "helmet head", so when I was able to try out a newer formula for free, by ChickAdvisor, I was pretty excited.
I'm not much of a hair girl, slowly I'm learning what works and helps with my short hair, one thing I'm always looking for is volume. This hair spray does help and as it says, no stickyness, the hair is still touchable, but there is some hold! I love the "hourglass" shape and how much smaller the bottle is, without decreasing the amount of product. It fits in your hands nicely, the sprayer is nice, not to powerful, so you're not getting blasted with more hairspray than you want, which seems to happen pretty often to me.
So I like the bottle/packaging and the product, but I'm not a fan of the scent. It's not strong, but it is that old school hairspray scent. It linger a bit, when I touch my hair, I smell it stronger. So it's not fully a deal breaker, but it is something that should be mentioned.

I have only ever used a conditioner that had Tea Tree in it as it was a scalp treatment. So when Chick Advisor gave me a chance to try this other, easier to find brand of conditioner for free, I was excited! I would normally use my other scalp treatment/conditioner with tea tree oil, when my scalp felt dry and itchy, which is about once every 1-1.5 weeks and it seems to take that itchiness away. So I used this shampoo with it's coordinating conditioner to make sure I got the most out of it. I have normal hair, with oily roots. I wash my hair every 3-4 days and use dry shampoo daily. This conditioner helps soften my hair and sooth/re-balance my direr scalp and it seemed to give more volume to my hair.
The conditioner is a nice semi-thick cream, it spreads easily into my hair. While rinsing it out of my hair, the hair feels very soft. So really I was pretty impressed with this conditioner and will keep using it, alternating it with my others.

I have only every used a Conditioner that had Tea Tree in it as it was a scalp treatment. So when Chick Advisor gave me a chance to try this shampoo for free, I was excited! I would normally use my other scalp treatment with tea tree oil, when my scalp felt dry and itchy, which is about once every 1-1.5 weeks and it seems to take that itchiness away. So I used this shampoo with it's coordinating conditioner to make sure I got the most out of it. I have normal hair, with oily roots. I wash my hair every 3-4 days and use dry shampoo daily. This shampoo helped take away the product build-up, re-balanced my scalp but also made my hair feel lighter, softer and I seemed to have more volume.
The shampoo is a clear thick gel with a light scent of tea tree. It lathers quite a bit, actually more than the corresponding body wash. While rinsing it out of my hair, the hair feels very clean, no squeaky clean and not stripped. So really I was pretty impressed with this shampoo and will keep using it, alternating it with my others.

I received a coupon to try this ice cream in Cookies & Cream for free from Chick Advisor. I know this is a review for the ice cream, but I'm going to review the whole process. I find this occurs more often than not with Chick Advisor, that you get a product to review, and they don't give you enough time to do it. I got the coupon on Friday and the review was due Monday. It's ice cream, it's easy enough to do, that is if you can find it! I like in a small town and our local grocery store has a very limited ice cream selection, so on Saturday we went into the city, to 3 larger grocery stores and none to be found, only one store had empty spots. So on Monday we went again to a different town, to their only grocery store... empty spots where they should be... Anyway I got my hand on a container now, a little late however I still have never seen the Cookies & Cream or a spot for it in any of the stores and therefore I'm reviewing the Vanilla.
The ice cream is great! I normally don't pay much attention to calories, when it come to ice cream it's all about flavour and just limit myself to a small bowl. Well for vanilla, it's the best I've tried (I do prefer vanilla to most flavours). The ice cream is pretty creamy, very satisfying. I don't have other ice cream to compare all the calories of those to this one, to really see if there's much of a difference, but it's well worth it.
It is pretty pricy for such a small tub, as most are of this size. So I would re-buy this ice cream, but only in a larger size.
