I was recently given Schwarzkopf Root Retoucher in Dark Blond for free to try as part of the ChickAdvisor Product Review club. I have been dying my hair for a few years, lately at a salon and have a base colour of dark blond with light blond highlights.I have never bought these type of products before because they seemed expensive, but I was excited to try this free sample.
I really liked this product. It works better than I expected, and covered the grey regrowth along my part line very easily. It blended well with my base colour without staining my scalp.
The nozzle is very narrow but I guess that is to better direct the hair colour. The hair does feel a bit coarse and there is a slight vinegar smell, but the smell disappears after a short while.
This works great if you don't have the time to cover your roots permanently and I would highly recommend it.
Based on some of the other reviews both positive and negative, it seems like this works great to cover a lighter regrowth (ie grey) with a darker colour, but not so good the other way around.

Dove Nutritive Solutions Daily Moisture Shampoo
I usually like Dove products, however I did not like the smell of this product, it was too heavily perfumed for me. It worked just as well as other shampoos I have used, but I prefer their fragrance

I received this product for free as part of the Chickadvisor review team.
To be perfectly honest, I am not really sure what this product is supposed to do, there was no noticeable change to my laundry in the 3 loads I have used it in so far. I did have some clothes with grease stains, but I also pre-treated them before washing and feel it is the spot pre-treatment that was the main reason the spots were removed.
Maybe over time this product will help my clothes stay colourful and bright and reduce fading. But since reviews must be added within a short time frame, I cannot judge that at this time. Unfortunately at this time I really can't see any benefit to adding this product to my laundry on a regular basis.

I was lucky enough to be given this product for free to test by Chickadvisor. The first load I used it on, I had a couple of items that had spots that hadn't come out in previous washes. One was a food stain and the other items had grease spots. I pre-treated with OxiClean MaxForce Foam Laundry Pre-Treater and let them sit for a few minutes, both items came out clean with the spots removed. The next load I did right after having some grease splatter while I was cooking, multiple spots on a cotton shirt and sweater, and all the spots came out in the first wash. I would recommend this product as it removed the stains without damaging or altering the colour of my clothing. I like the foam as it is easy to apply and easy to ensure you have hit the right spot.
I will buy this product again

I was lucky enough to be included in the Free trial samples from ChickAdvisor for BOOST Just Protein. I use protein powders at least 2 - 3 times per week, so was really interested in this products simplicity. #gotitfree
Have to say though that I was quite disappointed.
Pro's - I like the small scoop, makes it easier to add exactly the amount of protein you want to your smoothie. No sugar or sugar substitutes.
Con's - Small can would not last very long, and I consider it to be quite expensive for that quantity at $17.99. Although no extra sweetness is added to the smoothie I find there is a bitter chalky aftertaste that I did not like.
I would definitely not buy this product again at full price. I would consider using it in the future mixed 1/2 and 1/2 with my regular protein powder. I find my current powder a bit too sweet, so think the combination of the two powders would be just right, and hopefully the bit of sweetness from my regular powder would cover the bitterness of this product. However, I would only buy this product on sale.

Dove Nutritive Solutions Energize Shampoo
This fragrance of this shampoo is a great morning wakeup, absolutely love it. Shampoo works well, leaves my hair soft, light and fresh. Regular price is ok, but this product comes on sale at Shoppers quite often, so I stock up when it does.

I use this product all the time for my ears and to remove traces of eye makeup after washing my face.
The tips are soft and pick up dirt easily. It is a little pricey for what it is really, but I have tried cheaper brands and they do not work as well at all.
This is one product that you need to use the brand name version.
