I wanted to love this product but it just did not work for me. The smell was pretty good and the product itself is VERY smooth, almost gel-like in consistency; unlike most natural deodorants which are more chalky. Unfortunately this did not help with odor control at all. I was stinky halfway through my work day every time I used this product. I love the consistency so if they could make the odor protection actually work I would love to try this product again with a different formulation. But for now, I do not recommend this product as there are other aluminum free deodorants on the market that work.

I received this product for free to try from Chick Advisor in return for my honest opinions. I almost exclusively use foaming hand soap from a brand that is known for its soap, body care, and candles. This soap was very comparable to my usual brand. The product comes out of the pump dispenser as a foam and lathers really well, many soaps I need several pumps to feel like my hands are being cleansed but just one pump and my hands had more than enough soap with this product. The scent is fresh and natural smelling but is also not overpowering. I also like that I didn't have any sticky residue on my skin after washing. With the increased handwashing due to current world conditions, my hands didn't feel too stripped after multiple washings which is always a plus. I would recommend this soap to anyone looking for a good drugstore alternative to other foaming hand soap brands. -

This shake is less sweet than the caramel flavour, I like my sugar but the caramel one on it's own can be sickly sweet. This chocolate flavour is sweet but not overpowering. Just like the other flavour, I can't speak to the results of the protein itself; i.e. muscle gain etc., because who really knows if their protein is working after 2 drinks, but I can say that this didn't keep me satiated for any amount of time. I understand that this isn't a meal replacement; however, I prefer my protein shakes to have more of a filling effect and for me, I was still hungry after drinking this. I personally feel like this would be a drink for people looking to gain weight or muscle mass as opposed to someone looking to lose weight. These would probably be good blended with a banana and diluted with some unsweetened vanilla almond milk. I do think the purpose of these drinks is to just open and drink though so I'm not sure these are the best choice for me. -

Although this is an affordable aluminum-free deodorant, I didn't find it worked. I was smelly halfway into my night shift and regretting my choice to test this product out in public. For some reason, this also made my underarms incredibly itchy, I don't have any known allergies (besides Morphine) so I'm not sure what would have been causing that effect but it was very uncomfortable. The scent was great, not too chemically and light and refreshing, but a good scent doesn't make a product work. Unfortunately, Dove needs to go back to the drawing board for this one; For now, I am sticking to my regular natural deodorant brand. -

I received this free from ChickAdvisor. I liked this conditioner but unfortunately didn't love it and it won't replace my current conditioner. This formula is thin as far as conditioners go, but it was still very hydrating. The only problem I had was that you need to use a lot of product so I would prefer a bigger bottle. I also found this product to have way too much scent and it isn't a great scent (in my opinion), I prefer fresh, fruity or herbal scents and this was more of a perfumey scent. I do appreciate the soft plastic as opposed to a regular hard bottle since it makes it easier to get out as much product as possible. Overall this was a good drugstore conditioner, so I would recommend it to someone, but just not as good as the current non-drugstore product I am using. -

I received this product free to try from ChickAdvisor in exhange for my honest review.
First, I enjoyed the product, but I was disappointed with the packaging. I don't like tub containers as they don't last as long as a tube since you are constantly introducing germs into the pot when you reach in. Additionally, when you initially open the lid, there is a foil liner which is nice in theory to seal in freshness; however, it was impossible to take off in one go and was messy since there was no pull tab.
On to the product itself, it has a fresh clean scent that is present but not overbearing. The consistance is thinner and fluffier (almost whipped) than most clay masks which I liked, it was easy to spread but stayed put on the skin and didn't drip off. This consistancy was perfect for application with a brush which is how I applied it. I immediately felt a cooling sensation which was refreshing in this summer heat. I left it on for about 5-10 minutes which is longer than the recommened 3 minutes but I like it put it on when I am getting ready for work. The best thing about this product is that dies down a bit but doesn't give you that tightening drying feeling that most clay masks give. I used this product when I had a few zits and I did see a noticible difference before use and after use in calming down the redness in my zits.
This product is a reasonable price for it's ingredients and effectiveness. A little more pricey than the typical drugstore products, but it also feels nicer on the skin than many of those products and you get many uses out of the tub. Compared to mid or high end brands this mask is a steal that I would highly recommend to anyone looking to add a zit fighting mask to their beauty routine.

I received this product for free to try in exchange for my honest review. This product worked well. I used it with red polish and it helped protect my nails from staining and allowed for an even application of the colour. This base coat is also very fast drying. I will for sure look for this the next time I need a base coat. -

I received this product for free in exchange for my honest review. The colour I received was Nocturne It Up (glittery black). I was very disappointed with this nail lacquer; the formula is extremely thick and nearly impossible to work with. All the coats went on streaky and I couldn't get the polish even or opaque. -

I received the CND Creative Play Top Coat to try free of charge from ChickAdvisor. I didn't like the formula of the polish from this line, but the top coat worked well for my regular polishes, and kept them chip free for at least a week. The topcoat is fast-ish drying, but doesn't do anything for drying the polish underneath which is an issue here in Vancouver. I was VERY impressed with CND Creative Play. #gotitfree -
