I received a sample of this to try out from ChickAdvisor. I honestly thought it would be no different than other lightweight moisturizers but this one really went on so lightweight and absorbed so fast that I was blown away. I wasn't left with greasy, uncomfortable skin. My skin felt smooth and natural.
I do wish that the sample had been bigger so I could use it more than 2 times, but it did give me a good idea of what it is like. I have some cream gels and loved them due to being lightweight but this felt way better than those.
I will definitely be buying this when I use up what I have left of the others. I recommend it.

I received the Premier Protein Caramel Shake to review as part of the Chick-Advisor Review Club. #gotitfree
I expected to hate it. I'm not really a fan of caramel. It tasted very similar to caramel pudding which I do like. Was also thicker than I expected, comparable to milk. Normally with protein drinks you can tell it is a protein drink because of the taste, but if I was given this in a glass, I would not know it was a protein product.
While it doesn't fall into the category of strict keto, I think this could possibly be used while on a keto or low carb diet if you are someone who does dirty keto and only tracks net carbs. This one has 3 net carbs. It has a nice amount of potassium and sodium in it also which is great for keto since electrolyte balance can be difficult to maintain.
I felt satisfied after drinking it. I didn't feel the need to add more volume from food. I think it would be a perfect snack or pre or post workout drink since it is nutritious and loaded with protein.
The only downside I see is that it uses artificial sweeteners. If it had stevia or erythritol in its place, I'd love it.
I've since purchased two more packs of the shakes (unfortunately not this flavour because it wasn't available, but I would definitely buy this one in the future.

I received the Neutrogena Rapid Wrinkle Repair Retinol Oil to review as part of the Chick-Advisor Review Club. #gotitfree
I've been using it for the last week twice a day after using the Skin Prep Cleaning Cream.
It has nice packaging that allows for easy dispensing.
I find that a little goes a long way. 4-5 drops are plenty enough to do my face and neck. I have no irritation from it at all.
I've noticed that along with the prep cleanser, my face has been looking a lot brighter and has a glow to it. My make up looks much better when I wear it.
I really, really like this oil.

I received the Neutrogena Rapid Wrinkle Repair Exfoliating Prep Facial Cream Cleanser to review as part of the Chick-Advisor Review Club. #gotitfree
I found that this exfoliating cleanser was pretty gentle on my skin. I typically avoid physical exfoliators because they can be pretty rough on the skin, but I have had no issues here. It did a pretty good job at cleaning and making my skin soft and ready to use the Retinol Oil that I received with it.
Along with the Retinol Oil, my skin has been looking a lot better. It is brighter and has more of a glow.
I'd definitely recommend it

I received Tylenol Extra Strength Pain Relief Rapid Release Gelcaps to review as part of the Family Rated Review Club. #gotitfree
In the past, I found that Extra Strength Tylenol didn't work well for me (the non rapid release) and my doctor suggested that I double dose. I still found that I had a lingering headache even when doing this. I had always went to NSAIDS first, but I am currently taking a medication that has an interaction with NSAIDS so Tylenol is what is recommended.
Since receiving the product I have had a few tension headaches and one of these pills knocked out the pain totally each time. I did have one really bad, migraine like headache in which I did have to use 2 gelcaps for it to reduce the pain with a bit still lingering. It was very manageable. I didn't really notice a difference in how fast it worked, but it does seem like it is more effective.
Would I buy this in the future? You bet. As long as I cannot use NSAIDs this will be my go to from now on.

I received the Breyers Delights Vanilla Cupcake to review as part of the Chick-Advisor Review Club. #gotitfree
I was really excited to try this one. I am not new to Breyers delights. I often buy the Cookies n Creme flavour and love it. The Vanilla Cupcake was new to me and I was excited to try it.
While I didn't find it tasted anything like a cupcake, it did have a nice vanilla flavour and the sprinkles added a fun texture that reminded me of sprinkled cream on a birthday cake. Halo Top makes a similar ice cream, Birthday Cake that is low in calories, sugar, and up in protein but I prefer this one.
Definitely one I will be buying again...if it is on sale. It is pricey. Although it is "healthier", it doesn't mean it should be overly expensive.

I received the Neutrogena Hydro Boost Body Gel to review as part of the Chick-Advisor Review Club. #gotitfree
I will start off by saying that I normally hate moisturizers because they make me feel greasy and slimy after using them. Often times the ones that work really well to hydrate will often feel uncomfortable to wear and my clothes clings to me.
I had really high expectations for this moisturizer since I tend to do really well with gel based moisturizers. They often will absorb faster and tend to not leave me feeling greasy and they tend to do an okay job at moisturizing.
I have to say that this met and exceeded my expectations! I am in love with it. I put it on after I get out of the shower and wait a bit for it to absorb. It doesn't take long. Then I get dressed and I don't feel like my clothes are sticking to me. The moisturizing seems to be cumulative. I feel that the more I use it, the healthier and softer my skin feels and looks. I also LOVE the scent. One of the best smelling moisturizers I have used yet.
I would definitely recommend this moisturizer and I will definitely buy it in the future.

I received the Dove Go Fresh Apple and White Tea Antiperspirant Stick to review as part of the Chick-Advisor Review Club. #gotitfree
I really enjoy the scent of it. I could smell the apple scent immediately upon opening it. I don't find the scent to be overpowering at all.
The stick is very creamy and glides on really nicely.
I don't find that it lives up to its claim of 48hr protection. I barely get 24 hours before I can start to smell body odour, and that is on days without working out. After a workout, I do notice body odour start to creep up. Normally that is fine since I shower within a 24 hour period.
All in all, I like the way it leaves my underarm skin feeling and how it applies, but I want something that gets me through the day without having to worry, especially on the days I am more stressed out or active. I think I will be sticking with my regular brand.

I received a free product coupon to try Takis Angry Burger to review as part of the Family Rated Review Club. #gotitfree
I have tried all varieties of Takis except the Angry Burger in the past and have really liked them, although they are almost too hot to enjoy more than a few. I was excited to try this type out to see what the taste would be like.
I was expecting the burger to taste like a spicy BBQ burger. I was a little let down. The chips had a strong taste of pickle and there was very little heat to it. It did not taste like a hamburger...just pickles. It would have been fine if it was labeled as a dill pickle flavour. If you are a fan of pickles and want a Takis chip that is isn't as spicy, this one is for you. I still did like it, but I was just disappointed that it didn't live up to its name. I really enjoyed the shape and texture of the chip, as well.
Would I buy it again? Maybe. It depends on if get a craving for dill pickle chips.
