I received a sample size (15mL) of Clarins re-boost cream courtesy of ChickAdvisor in exchange for my honest and unbiased review #gotitfree.
The re-boost moisturizer has a nice floral scent but for those who are sensitive might feel that it's too strong. I feel like there's more plastic than product in this sample size tube. I only got a few uses out of it so my review will be based on that. After applying the cream, my face felt really soft and smooth. It did leave my skin feeling hydrated. As for a rosy glow I didn't really notice it.
I would probably purchase this again and would recommend this to those that are not sensitive to scent.

I received the teapigs super fruits herbal tea courtesy of ChickAdvisor in exchange for my honest and unbiased review #gotitfree.
I have heard about teapigs tea but have never tried them until now. I love the ingredients on this tea. I actually recognize all the ingredients and love the fact that Im putting some natural stuff in my body and not ingredients that I can't even pronounce.
The herbal tea smells so fruity and it was strong. I love sipping teas and love the fact that I can enjoy a cup of this after dinner because it is caffeine free. You can see the leaves in the tea bag unlike some other tea where the leaves are all crushed and the tea bags are so dusty/powdery.
I would definitely purchase this herbal tea again and would recommend it to those looking for a caffeine free tea to enjoy all day long.

I received a full size bottle of Garnier Fructis Repairing Treat Shampoo courtesy of ChickAdvisor in exchange for my honest and unbiased review #gotitfree.
The shampoo nourishes and repairs dry and damaged hair. It is 98% derived from natural ingredients.
The shampoo has a clear liquidy consistency. It contains papaya extract so therefore gives off this tropical smell to it. It leaves your hair smelling nice but the scent is very mild.
I usually don't really like clear shampoo as it makes my hair feel greasy the next day. However, with this repair treat shampoo my hair was still nice and soft the next day and didn't feel greasy at all. It also lathers up really well and did not leave my hair feeling sticky and tangled.
I would purchase this again along with the conditioner and try it both together. This product left my hair feeling smooth and soft since I blow dry my hair daily.

I received the schmidt's Lavender and Sage mineral enriched natural deodorant courtesy of ChickAdvisor in exchange for my honest and unbiased review #gotitfree.
The schmidt's Lavender and Sage deodorant has no aluminum salts, no propylene glycol, and no artificial fragrance. It also helps neutralize odours and keeps you smelling fresh.
The schmidt's Lavender and Sage deodorant leaves a white film on your armpit because of its creamy consistency. I try to let it air out a bit first before wearing any dark clothing. The scent of the lavender smells really nice and light and keeps me smelling nice for the whole day.
I would purchase this natural deodorant again and would recommend this to anyone trying to find something more natural that contains no aluminum.

I received the Motrin super strength courtesy of ChickAdvisor in exchange for my honest and unbiased review #gotitfree.
I am so glad I got the Motrin just in time for that time of the month. I have always taken advil on the first and second day for my cramps.
The Motrin super strength was easy to swallow and it worked rather quickly. I would say within 15 mins. I took the Motrin for my back pain and cramps. I took it once for 2 days. The Motrin super strength works.
I would definitely recommend this and will buy it again for pain and cramps relief.

I received the Premier Protein Chocolate Flavour courtesy of ChickAdvisor in exchange for my honest and unbiased review #gotitfree.
The Premier Protein Chocolate Flavour contains 160 calories per 325 mL serving, 30g of proteins, 1g of sugar, low fat, and 24 vitamins and minerals.
I find that the chocolate flavour is a little lacking compared to the caramel flavour. The one good thing is that it is not as sweet as the caramel flavour. However, I find that the chocolate flavour in this protein shake is not as rich and taste kind of watered down. It has this artificial chocolate taste to it. The protein shake consistency was smooth but wasn't as thick or rich as the caramel one. After drinking this chocolate flavour protein shake it also left this sweet aftertaste in my mouth. It wasn't a bad aftertaste though.
I would probably purchase this again because it did keep me full until lunch as I drank it on the go but I'm not too sure about the chocolate flavour though but I would recommend it for those that prefers a less sweet protein shake.

I received the Premier Protein caramel flavour courtesy of Chickadvisor in exchange for my honest and unbiased review #gotitfree.
The protein shake has 1g of sugar per serving and contains 24 vitamins and minerals.
I drank this protein shake as part of my breakfast and lunch meal replacement. It actually kept me feeling satisfied. I didn't crave any junk food. The smell and taste was amazing. It didn't taste like artificial caramel flavouring at all. I was impressed. The only thing was it left a bit of a sweetener like after taste but it wasn't bad at all.
I really enjoyed drinking this caramel protein shake and would definitely recommend it and purchase it.

I received the Vileda scrunge courtesy of Chickadvisor in exchange for my honest and unbiased review #gotitfree.
The Vileda scrunge is heavy duty, extra durable, and removes tough dirt without scratching. It is 20% longer lasting than other sponges and it rinses clean to help eliminate buildup.
I was really impressed with the Vileda scrunge. Normally when I have to scrub pots and pans, after 1 use, the sponge would feel slimy with the food debris stuck on it and little pieces of the sponge would start to break off. However, this is not the case with the Vileda scrunge. It did not break apart after scrubbing and the scrunge did not feel slimy from the food particles. The scrunge actually held up from the scrubbing. I also used the scrunge to clean my stove top after cooking and it did not leave any scratches. I'm a little hesitant to use it on my nonstick but will give it a try in the future if needed.
I'm really impressed with the Vileda scrunge and this will replace the sponges that I'm currently using and will definitely become a staple cleaning sponge for all my pots and pans. I would definitely recommend this.

I received the Dove 0% aluminum cucumber and green tea scent deodorant courtesy of Chickadvisor in exchange for my honest and unbiased review #gotitfree.
I was really excited to try this deodorant because it is aluminum free and a lot more affordable than other products that also contain no aluminum.
The packaging is nice and sleek and has a turn base not just a knob. It has a really nice and refreshing scent.
When you first apply it, it feels a little damp but it dries up quickly. The deodorant did not stain my clothes and left me feeling nice for the whole day even in this hot weather.
I would probably purchase this again and would definitely recommend to those that want an aluminum free and affordable deodorant.

I received the Neutrogena Rapid Wrinkle Repair Retinol Oil courtesy of Chickadvisor in exchange for my honest and unbiased review #gotitfree.
This oil is clinically proven to reduce the look of stubborn and deep wrinkles and to nourish and renew the skin while you sleep. The product states that you can see results in 1 week.
This retinol oil comes in the form of a dropper in a pale yellowish oil and is lightly scented.
This is my first time using a retinol product so I used it every night for a little more than a week now.
I dispense about 5 drops into the palm of my hand and then take some product with my other hand and massage it gently into my face. I have combination skin and thought the oil would be too oily on me. I was wrong. The oil absorbed readily and left my face feeling smooth. It felt lighter and nicer than a night cream/ lotion. My face did not feel sticky at all. I didn't really get any tingling sensation but after 10-15 mins my face felt a little itchy but it goes away. It didn't irritate my skin at all. Just a little annoying having to scratch it lightly. There was no redness and my face looked fine.
After using it for a little over a week, my face looked pretty much the same except it looked a little more hydrated and the smile lines are not as apparent. I would have to use this longer to see better results.
I will definitely recommend it and will probably purchase this again. This is my first time using a retinol and I have to say I had a great experience.
