I wish I was able to use this longer before reviewing because I feel like it needs more than two weeks to really see a difference. That being said, it feels quite nice on the skin. The packaging is beautiful but light and plastic, which takes away from a fully luxurious experience, however, the serum itself feels rich and substantial. I found it took more than three pumps to get all three serums out.
I found that if I wore this on bare skin I could feel a mild sting so I tried putting on a niacinamide serum first and this second and that seems to keep the sting at bay. I suspect it is my skin reacting to the vitamin c, which I generally don’t do well with. I am looking forward to seeing what my skin looks like with a few more weeks of use.

7 days is not long enough to notice a difference with any skin care product and it's unrealistic to believe you can get instant results like that. That being said, this is not a bad serum by any means, but it would have been nice to be able to really try it out for a few weeks and see if there was a noticeable change in my skin's firmness and smoothness. -

A week isn’t really long enough to see results with this product. It’s is easy enough to incorporate into your daily routine though, the powder is tasteless and dissolved quickly so you don’t even notice you’re drinking a supplement. I’m looking forward to seeing if there will be any difference once I’ve been using it longer than a week. -
NEUTROGENA® Hydro Boost Hand Gel Cream

I have very dry hands and am always looking for a hand cream that won't leave my hands greasy (typing with greasy fingers is NOT ideal) and I was very excited to get this from Chick Advisor for review. Earlier in the year I was sent the Hydro Boost Body Gel Cream and was hoping the hand cream was just as good. And it is! The product absorbs quickly and doesn't leave that greasy film that so many rich hand moisturizers do. I find that I'm only moisturizing once a day and yet my hands still feel soft and hydrated throughout my work day. This will be a permanent staple at my desk at work. -

I regularly use the Clinique City Block sunscreen, but I was eager to try the Neutrogena because I wanted something lighter weight. I wear a full-face of makeup regularly and while I have few complaints about the Clinique sunscreen, a lighter weight product would work better for my needs. The Hydro Boost Sunscreen has been wonderful for daily wear. It does not feel heavy on my skin and allows my skin to breath, which I like quite a bit. The texture doesn't leave a greasy film on my skin and also doesn't matte down my skin or emphasize any texture issues and does not break down my foundation or concealer.
I think this will be my new permanent sunscreen.
I was sent this for review by Chick Advisor.

I've used the Neutrogena wipes previously to receiving them from Chick Advisor for testing and, in fact, had purchased a travel-size pack for my weekend away before the Neutrogena box arrived at my house. They are wonderful for travel and I've packed the singles in my work bag for emergency situations. While I wouldn't recommend them for regular use (it's very wasteful, hence the 3 stars for value) they are perfect for one-off situations. And like the full-size wipes, the singles are just as good at removing all traces of makeup without being rough on the skin. They even remove the most stubborn, stay-put eyeliners and mascaras I wore on my getaway. I wholeheartedly recommend these for travel and keeping in your bag. -

The winter really did a number on my skin this year. My skin was dry and itchy and this has really helped. The smell is fine, not unplesant, but nothing to write home about either. It dissipates quickly, which I appreciate. The moisturizer itself aborbs very quickly without leaving a greasy finish and leaves your skin feeling rich and plump. Your skin is left feeling moisturized for hours even after washing your hands. Would recommend for anyone with dry skin. -

The primer has a a nice citrusy scent that isn't over-powering and goes on smoothly. It feels soft as it goes on and did not pill with my skincare products. Foundation goes on smoothly and evenly over the primer and isn't heavy or silicone-y or heavy feeling under makeup. I set my foundation with powder, but my skin did not feel dry at all with this combination. However, by hour 5 I was starting to get some shine and my makeup broke down and did not last 8 hours (I tend to have long days and usually need my makeup to last 8-15 hours). This may not be the case with using the primer with it's own brand foundation/products as companies tend to not test their products to work with competitors products.
Would recommend for short wear or in conjunction with a setting spray.

The shampoo smells much more heavily of shea butter than the conditioner does, which is nice, because it doesn't add to the scent of the shampoo (the scent isn't unpleasant, and dissipates quickly to something softer). I don't usually condition my scalp, but because I did with this and the conditioner did not weigh down my hair as conditioners tend to (which is why I usually only condition the ends and not my roots). My hair was left soft and shiny and my scalp stopped feeling dry and itchy from the winter. I really liked this product and I would consider buying it again. -

I received this from Chick Advisor 2 days before the review was due, but that was obviously not enough time to test out a dry scalp shampoo for effectiveness. I've now used it 3 times, and the dry itchiness I was experiencing because of the winter has basically disappeared. The shampoo smells heavily of shea butter at first, but dissipates to something much softer, and still pleasant as the day goes on. My hair was soft and shiny and when I let it dry naturally, my curls did not frizz. I really liked this and would consider purchasing it again. -
