I use dry shampoo sparingly. I have short hair and wash my hair every day... well not every day but most days. When I received a free can of the Dove Invigorating Dry Shampoo via Chick Advisor I didn't use it immediately.
Soon after I got ill and couldn't get the energy to shower but couldn't stand my terrible hair so I tried the shampoo. Guess what? I became presentable again! Huzzah!!
It works as well as many luxury priced brands, has a good scent and overall did the job.

After using a very pricey dry hair oil for about a year I was very happy to receive a free bottle to try from ChickAdvisor. I've enjoyed various Dove hair products over the years so had fair expectations on this product.
I wasn't disappointed. This oil did not over "slick" my fine, short hair. My hair appears smooth, non-frizzy and it continued throughout the day. Pleasant scent and works as well as the other product.
Will definitely repurchase.

When Chick Advisor sent me a free full sized bottle of Micellar Water from Garnier I took the opportunity to try a more modestly priced version.
I used it each evening after I cleansed my face using my face oil to ensure that all of the makeup and dirt was gone especially around my eyes. This product was excellent and definitely removed any leftover makeup without any irritation. I also used it in the morning before applying moisturizer and makeup - I am very pleased that this product did not need to be rinsed. It provides a fresh, clean base to apply everything else.
I would definitely purchase when my bottle runs out.

Coincidentally, my daily moisturizer had run out around the same time that ChickAdvisor had the opportunity to try Garnier at no cost to me so I jumped on applying. My needs for a good face moisturizer are simple, good sunscreen, no/limited scent, not greasy and leaves my skin looking better than before I put it on. With 40+ yo skin I am mindful of using products that have Vitamins, gentle exfoliation and on and on. But it's not my priority in a moisturizer for my face. I use other products too.
When I started using this product it ticked all of my requirement boxes: Sunscreen (15 - although I prefer a 25), no real scent, emollient but not greasy and my skin appeared to be a-ok. While I didn't experience the level of claims on the advertising, it's a solid moisturizer.

This oil is the reason I love the ChickAdvisor Product Review Club. And to get it free no less!
After I cleanse my skin with the Lipidol cleansing oil and use a micellar water I apply the overnight face oil. It absorbs quickly, an extremely pleasant scent and just kicks up the softness of my skin a notch! I had a horrible dry spot under my eye and I concentrated each night to ensure that I massaged in this oil into the spot. After 3 days it was gone and my concealer applied like a dream. That is a win for me.
Definitely will repurchase. No question.

I love face oils and up to now I have relied primarily on more pricey offerings so when Chick Advisor put out the opportunity to try a more modestly priced cleansing face oil I was in! Especially since it was at no cost to me.
My first impression of the oil is that is has a slight medicine scent which wasn't offensive but not necessarily appealing either - but I wasn't worried. The oil was good at "melting" the waterproof liquid liner and mascara; then when I applied the water and really worked it in to my skin it removed the majority of the eye makeup and definitely all of the foundation and other products.
No excessive oiliness after and it didn't cause any breakouts or other wonky things with my skin.
It is a pleasant cleanser in the morning too as it doesn't make my face feel tight or dry.
I would definitely keep using this product and repurchase. No complaints at all.

When chickadvisor sent a free 5kg bag of the Canadian Pacific Formula for my 55lb pitbull I was cautiously optimistic. Gertie Goo loves the fish flavoured kibble so I figured this would be a solid bet.
Little did I know that she would adore it. Seriously love it... We introduced the kibble a little at a time as advised to a 50% ratio.
Two things I noticed: a) she poops more but not concerningly so b) it's a premium price ($90 for a large bag)
We've decided to keep her on the 50% ratio - we don't have the heart to take it away from her.

NARS Blush
While I didn't like the sheer volume sparkle/glitter for my use, the blush is very pigmented and easy to apply. I would likely enjoy a NARS Blush in a matte formulation.

This is a beauty subscription from the UK called Lip Love from So Susan. I think the name is a little misleading as the bag has a selection of different items not just lip products.
Each month a subscriber receives 3 makeup items and 2 bonus items.
These products are their own branded items.
100% cruelty free.
Most of the items I have received have become part of my regular makeup rotation. Some are outstanding, some are ... fine.
