I received this chocolate bar to review as part of the ChickAdvisor Review panel.
The tart cherry flavor has a sweet, natural cherry flavor that is really pleasing to eat. It's also a flavor that I haven't seen paired with chocolate from other companies, so it is a welcome change. The extra texture given by the rice crisps give some variety to each bite, and each nugget of cherry that is included is the best part. The dark chocolate itself tastes very rich in chocolate flavor, but it isn't too heavy. The cherry flavor might be a bit too sweet for some people, but I found it just right for me.
This is really a very decadent, high end chocolate at a very affordable price.

Thank you to ChickAdvisor for giving me the opportunity to review this DELICIOUS chocolate bar. One bar was not enough! I now need to go find this in my grocery store so that I can stock up!
The first thing that I noticed when I opened up the wrapper was the yummy tropical smell. That first bite into the decadent dark chocolate was an explosion of textures and tastes. I really liked that there is nothing artificial tasting at all. Everything tasted so fresh and natural. This is one chocolate snack that I can feel good about indulging in.

For less than $4 at my local drugstore, I got over 200g of product which is a fantastic value. The powder does a good job of keeping my face matte for about 2-3 hours before I have to reapply again. The shade Sandstorm works well with my olive complexion. I don't mind that there is no powder brush included as it saves me some money and I much prefer using my own brush. -

I got this as a freebie with one of my YR online orders, so my expectations weren't very high . I have to say I was pleasantly surprised. At first spritz, the vanilla is quite predominant, but it dries down to a soft, powdery musk which I find quite comforting. The staying power is decent. It lasted approximately 3 hours on me. This is more of a scent suitable for winter vs spring or summer. -

I am so glad that I got this product to review from ChickAdvisor. I love it, love it, love it! Did I tell you that I love it?
I love shopping, but one of the banes of my shopping experiences is that most pants are made for leggy models. Unfortunately, my legs are a lot shorter. So whenever I am trying to decide on whether to buy a pair of pants, one of the factors is how much work it will be for me to hem them.
I am pretty handy with a sewing needle, but it takes time and work to make a professional looking hem. This product gives the same result in a matter of minutes. It's incredible how easy this product is to apply. I had a pair of new wool blend pants that I hadn't gotten around to hemming yet. I am happy to report that the permanent bonding strips have held up. The pants have already been laundered twice since the strips have been put in. The hems are still looking crisp, and I do not see any signs of the hems coming loose.
This is a must have product to make your life easier and save you time when it comes to hemming.

I received this product to review from ChickAdvisor. This item is fantastic in terms of function! I often wear flats, but do wear heels now and then. Before, i would separate my pants out into "pants for flats", and "pants for heels". With this product, I effectively have now doubled my wardrobe options as I can now wear my "pants for heels" with flat shoes by using this as a temporary hem solution to shorten those pants.
The product is very easy to use. It's definitely easier applying the strips in shorter lengths along the hem. I cut the strips half again as I found that it gives a better hem look and seal. I like how after using the tape, it's very easy to take off and does not leave a residue after my pants have been laundered.
I did find that the lasting power was better with softer fabrics than with with my heavy denim jeans. When I used them with my crepe pants, the hem stayed put until I took the tape off. With my jeans, I had to periodically press the hem back into place.
Overall, I still love this product and absolutely recommend it if you want to be able to double the wearing options for your pants.

I was lucky enough to receive this product from ChickAdvisor to review. It certainly came in handy on the day that I wore a new blouse for the first time to work. Halfway through the day, I realized that there was a gap between the buttons over the chest area that totally allowed anyone and everyone to see my bra whenever I stretched my arms out! Luckily, I had this nifty, little item stashed in my purse. Out came the pin and the black button. It was so easy to position the pin and close that gap in a jiffy, and the button stuck to the adhesive very easily. It really helped that my blouse was black, so the button was very inconspicuous. I am happy to report that the button stayed stuck on the whole day through work and through an after work dinner.
Before I received this product, a safety pin would have been what I would use in this situation. This is so much more attractive and easier to use than a safety pin. I definitely recommend that everyone carries this little kit in their purse.

I got to test this product from Vichy for ChickAdvisor, asnd I have been using it consistently at night for almost a month. I use this in conjunction with the Vichy ProEVEN Advanced Daily Dark Spot Corrector. Together, they make a dynamic duo to lighten and brighten some of the hyper-pigmentation that I have from tanning and overall make the texture of my skin smoother. The ProEVEN Night serum has a nice, light fragrance, and I find that it absorbs nicely and doesn't "grease" up my face like some other night serums that I have used before. I like how "awake" my skin looks in the morning. I do wish this came in a larger size for the amount that it costs, but it's definitely something that I would go and buy when I use up this current tube. -

I LOVE this new product from Vichy that I got to test for ChickAdvisor. I am always a bit skeptical when it comes to products that claim to lighten the dark spots on my face as I have tried many of them, and most were not successful. I can honestly say that after using this product for almost 3 weeks, my skin looks a lot brighter, and the dark spots seem to have lightened somewhat. Mind you, they are still visible, but they don't look as glaring as before. The serum is quite light and absorbs well, and i can pretty much put my additional moisturizer on right away on top of it. The only minor flaw is that the tube is quite small for the amount that you pay, BUT you are paying for quality ingredients that WORK! -

I love shopping for my shoes from this Canadian online company. They carry a lot, A LOT, of styles for men, women, and kids. They not only sell shoes, but active wear, underwear, socks, shoe accessories, bags and purses, too. Their prices in general are very much in line with the prices from the shoe brands' online sites. What I love most about them is their excellent customer service. They offer free shipping, returns and exchanges. The few times that I have had to return something, there was never any hassle. Their customer service reps are easy to deal with, and once they went above and beyond to help make an exchange very easy for me. I highly recommend this company! -
