I tried this bar and the cashew bar when I #gotitfree from Chick Advisor. I preferred the cashew bar to the almond one as the creaminess of the cashews kept the bar moist and contrasted nicely with the crisps. This almond bar I found to be a bit more bland, though I did appreciate that it wasn't overly sweet. The bar was lightly salted but the almond flavour was lost a bit. I liked the crunchiness of the bar, and the bar was dense and filling, perfect for a post work out snack. However I didn't like the slightly bitter, vegetable aftertaste - probably the pea protein - that lingered afterwards. -

I #gotitfree this power bar from Chick Advisor and was excited to try it. I'm always in need of a protein rich snack after a work out. At first this bar tastes pretty good - not too sweet, a little salty, I liked the crispy rice crisps and the creaminess of the cashews comes through. But afterwards there is a bit of a weird aftertaste - probably the pea protein powder, it's a bit bitter and grainy and really lingers in your mouth. The bar was very filling and made for a great post work out snack, but I would not recommend this bar to my friends, and probably would not purchase. If I had to choose - I preferred the cashew bar over the almond bar. The creaminess of this bar helped to balance out the rice crisps. -

I used this top coat over two coats of the CND VINYLUX polish. The top coat applies nice and thick, yet dries quickly, which is great. No need for more than one layer of top coat. Attached is a photo after 7 days and it did chip a bit but not as bad as some other brands. -

I loved the colour of his nail polish! Bloodline was a pretty, dark rich red. The polish went on smooth and thick, and dried quickly. The brush is a bit too thick and wide, making it harder to control vs a regular polish brush, it would have been better if it was less thick as it soaks up way too much polish. I used this with the top polish. The photo is after 7 days of wear, as you can see, it still chips about average, if slightly less than a regular polish. -

i love this product line! I started out with the face cream and now have the hand cream and body butter. This hand cream is even better than Burt's Bees in my opinion. This cream absorbs really nicely and has a light but not overpowering fragrance. You need the average amount so I do go through the cream quickly. Not greasy at all but thick and buttery. Also their creams contain sea buckthorn which is really good for anti-aging and sun spots. -

I like Nivea products in general and this was no exception. This huge tub of cream goes a long way! The cream is thick but not greasy and absorbs nicely on the skin. The smell is subtle but not overpowering. I used this when I came back from Hawaii and my tan started to peel - and this cream totally fixed my skin! I find it a chore to always moisturize after a shower but this was such a nice experience that now I look forward to it. Well done Nivea! -

Nivea 3 in 1 Micellar Water is an effective cleanser, makeup remover and leaves the skin feeling refreshed!
I received this product from Chick Advisor for free.
I have used the Garnier Micellar Water and would say that I now prefer the Nivea Micellar Water.
The water is a very effective makeup remover and removes eye makeup smoothly and easily. The water removes the foundation from my face as well, without drying out my skin. When I use a wash cloth after the water, there was no makeup residue on the cloth. A great, quick and easy remover and cleanser on those nights where you're too lazy to do your full evening beauty routine!
I will definitely be purchasing this product in the future, and would recommend to my friends.

NIVEA 2-in-1 Moisturizing Primer for Normal Skin is a refreshing, light moisturizer and effective base primer for my makeup.
I received this Nivea product for free from Chick Advisor.
The product feels great on your skin, and gives you a fresh, tingling sensation. A little goes a long way, which I appreciate. The product absorbs quickly, and isn't greasy at all. My skin felt smooth and moisturized. I was able to use my liquid foundation immediately after, and the my foundation went on smoothly and lasted the whole day.
I love skipping the primer step, and having a good facial moisturizer is a bonus.
I would definitely purchase this product, and recommend to all my friends.

First off I was really unimpressed with the ingredients: dairy, gluten, soy, canola oil, sugar and corn syrup - really unhealthy. With the first bite the chocolate was a bit tasteless and waxy, typical of this type of bar. The soy crisps were a nice crunch and balanced out the soft nugat-like substance inside. The bar overall didn't taste unpleasant, but I wouldn't describe it as decadent fudge. Pretty typical of this type of meal replacement bar, but I noticed it had a lingering after taste which I didn't like. But I wasn't hungry for a few hours afterwards so good for an emergency, but I definitely wouldn't diet with this bar. -

My first impression of Super Energex was not a good one. When I opened the capsule the liquid sprayed all over my face! I was on a detox, and I wasn't sure if it was detox friendly, as I'm pretty sure there is sugar in this but it's not listed in a nutrition breakdown. My first impression of the taste was very caramel - but more like burnt caramel. I didn't really like the taste very much. Next I noticed that this drink was really dehydrating, mid way through the drink I felt more thirsty than ever! My energy level was good, but I would not get this again because it most likely has sugar and because of how thirsty I felt while drinking it. -
