I was lucky enough to be part of the Vichy Idealia Skin Sleep review team, and received this product for free.
I have been using it at bedtime for the last 2 weeks, along with the Vichy Idealia Life Serum which was included as a bonus.
Packaging is nice, and the cream itself is tinted a light pink. Looks pretty and smells great.
Over the first few days I didn't really see any difference but over the last week and a bit I have definitely noticed that my pores are smaller and not as noticeable. Skin texture is smooth and soft.
My skin is sometimes sensitive but I have had no issues with this product at all.
My only concern is the price, it is more than I have paid for any face cream in the past. If I can find it on sale, I may splurge and buy it, but otherwise probably not.

I was given this product to test buy ChickAdvisor
I don't usually use mouthwash or any dental rinse on a regular basis, but I did like using this product.
I like the minty taste, and it doesn't burn, even with my sensitive teeth and gums. It makes my mouth feel very clean and fresh. Although with only 1 week of testing time I have not found any noticable difference in whiteness.
Even with regular brushing in the past, I have always found that by midday I have a coating on my tongue, but since using this rinse and the companion brush, I am not finding the same coating building up during the day. Whether it is the rinse or the brush or the combination it is hard to tell.
I do find the price a bit high, but will watch for sales.
The only downside to this product is that they suggest that you not eat or drink anything for 30 min after rinsing, not an issue at bedtime, but a little awkward first thing in the morning.

I never really thought there was any real differences between the different types/brands of toothbrushes. But I love this toothbrush!
The bristles are soft, even the extra row of rubber bristles along the edge. This brush covers more of the teeth and gums than a regular toothbrush. There are rough edges on the back of the brush head to rub your cheek and tongue with but they are not scratchy or irritating in any way.
Even though I have always brushed my tongue when brushing my teeth, I've always found that by midday I had built up a bit of a coating on my tongue again. But this week, using this brush (and the matching toothbrush and dental rinse) I am not finding any coating buildup again by midday.
The only thing I find is that the price is a little bit high, but I will watch for sales and definitely buy this toothbrush again.

I was given this product to try by ChickAdvisor.
I love the fresh minty taste of this toothpaste. My mouth and teeth did feel very clean after brushing, however with only 1 week to try it I did not find a big improvement in whiteness.
I find the regular price a little high, but typically look for sales to buy the products I like.
I would buy this toothpaste again.

This tooth brush is not your usual clunky, cordless toothbrush. Very streamlined and light, much like a regular toothbrush.
It is very powerful. I prefer to use the sensitive setting, as I found the vibrations a bit to jarring whenever I would hit against my teeth with the body of the brush (ie not the bristles). The timer function is improved over previous also, a pause after every 30 seconds lets you know when to switch quadrants.
I have used another power toothbrush in the past, but one of the budget models, and never really noticed my teeth being whiter or brighter, but have to say I have definitely noticed my teeth being whiter using this brush over the last couple of weeks. This has worked great, but glad to have been given it by ChickAdvisor to review, because I don't think I would ever spend this much on a tooth brush.

COVERGIRL & Olay Simply Ageless Foundation
I like this product. It covers well, and I found it easy to find a match to my skin tone. I really like the fact that I can control how much I use whether I want just a light more natural look, or more coverage for a dressier night out.

Bought a combo pack from Costco with the lotion, eye lift and cleanser. Would not recommend this line of products.
Texture is nice. Cleanser is very creamy but smell is a bit overpowering. Definitely not for someone with sensitivity to scent.
But worst thing about this product is the packaging, it is very misleading. Both the lotion and the eye cream come in containers with 2 sides. Single pump on the lotion blends both sides. Double pump on the eye cream lets you use each one separately.
However it gives the apprearance that the tubes are full of the creams/lotions as the colour matches what comes out. I thought I would see the product being dissappearing from the tubes as I used it. But that does not happen, the tubing is also coloured to match the creams. Therefore you are getting a lot less product than you think. Lotion did not last long at all.
Negligible improvement so not worth the money - even with the combo from Costco.

Bought this as part of a dual pack from Costco that was on sale.
This product does rate more favourable than the Anti-Wrinkle Serum it was paired with.
No overwhelming smell, nice texture. Absorbs quickly.
Wouldn't say it really reduced wrinkles, but did provide a lighter appearance to under eye area.
Packaging is horrible, printing is so small its difficult to read the instructions,
I found the product to be of decent quality, but probably not worth the price

I bought this product in a dual pack from Costco - it's one of the normally higher priced products that I would never pay full price for.
Very dissappointed. First it has a faint coffee smell - not really a smell I want on my face. Packaging is horrible - printing is so small its hard to read, and there are really no directions for use - should it go on before moisturizer, after moisturizer etc ....
Saw no noticable difference in skin at all
Not worth it, even from Costco.

I received a free trial of this product and am very happy with it. It smells great, has a really nice creamy texture. It leaves my hair very shiny and smooth. My hair is very recently coloured so I am very interested to see how this helps with colour retention over the longer term - unfortunately I have to have the review entered now.
But as of now using Garnier Nutrisse Cream Colour, Garnier Fructis Colour Shield Shampoo and Conditioner and Garnier Fructis Colour Sealant - my hair looks great, definitely as good as any salon colour at a much better price.
Will definitely use these products again.
