I received this product from ChickAdvisor and Crest to try - and I'm so glad that I was selected.
This mouthwash is brilliant - not the best tasting one out there, but it minimizes that horrid burn-effect and leaves my mouth feeling fresh. I have only been using this product for approximately a week, so although I cannot comment entirely on the whitening effect, my smile is certainly sparkling a lot more now than it did prior to using this product.
I highly recommend this product and will be buying again.
Thank you CA and Crest!!! xoxo.

I was incredibly fortunate to Test the Radiant Collection as part of the ChickAdvisor Product Review Club.
I finally finished my period and had a chance to test the entire line that had been sent as a part of the package. I was instantaneously attracted to the packaging - it's absolutely lovely and eye-catching, and very convenient in terms of being easily opened and sealed. Now, moving along to what's inside of the box!
The Always Radiant Incredibly Thin Liners are truly thin and flexible, and yet there is no sacrifice in terms of coverage and absorbency. I found these liners to be very comfortable and left me feeling clean and fresh. I love that the entire liner sticks nicely to any underwear, regardless of its size, and you don't have to worry about the liner moving or rolling up while you're wearing it. With this liner, you get flexibility, comfort and great absorbency. The only downfall is the lack of packaging- I do wish that they came individually wrapped to facilitate portability.
I absolutely adore these liners and can say that they are now the only liners I will be purchasing - I highly recommend this product to all women! Thank you Chick Advisor!

Now, moving along to what's inside of the box!
As many others have noticed, as soon as you open the package, you can smell a wonderful light scent, one that is definitely not overpowering in any way, that helps leaving you feel fresh and clean throughout the course of your period.
I absolutely love that the pad itself is not bulky, and yet has amazing and endless absorbency - perhaps the best from any pad that I have ever used! What's more, the entire pad sticks nicely to your panties and you dont have to worry about the pad moving or rolling up while you're wearing it - including the wings! These pads even make wonderful overnight pads - I didn't leak at all and my pad stayed in place!
With this pad, you get flexibility, comfort and great absorbency. I normally have heavy periods, and these pads were a dream to use! I will definitely being purchasing these pads and dont think I will ever look at any other brand again.
I absolutely adore these pads and can say that they are now the only pads I will be purchasing - I highly recommend this product to all women! Thank you Chick Advisor!

Although I'm not a frequent tampon user, I must admit that I love these tampons! The Tampax Radiant plastic tampons come in a very sleek design with a CleanGrip applicator, one that makes it easy and comfortable to insert. The tampon has great absorbency - I felt very confident while wearing these tampons and was never concerned with the potential for leakage. What I find very unique about this product is the resealable packaging for disposal - what a clever idea!
Given that I'm not a frequent tampon user, I may or may not personally purchase these tampons given the higher price, but I will definitely recommend this product to all women! Thank you Chick Advisor!

I received the Febreeze Car Vent Clip as a free sample from Febreze and ChickAdvisor as part of their product review panel. Thank you Febreeze and Chick Advisor for this wonderful opportunity!
I am a huge scent junkie, so I was super excited to try this product in my car. Although our car doesn’t smell bad, the absence of a scent definitely has left me longing for some scent in my tiny home away from home. In the past, I have normally used solid air fresheners, hanging fresheners, and compressed sprays – although many of these products generated a nice scent, that scent was always temporary in duration. The Febreeze clip is extremely easy to install – just clip and go! Along with the convenience, the freshener has such an attractive design and highly compliments my car. On to the scent! The freshener produced a nice soft scent, one that was definitely not overpowering nor offensive. I absolutely adore the scent of linen, so this is definitely a plus for me.
The downfall to this product is that, unlike other products, it only emits a scent when the vent is turned on. Nevertheless, this one downside is negligible in comparison to the wonderful Febreeze scent!
I will definitely be purchasing this product again given the product’s life span despite the compact size, pleasing scent, it’s aesthetic appeal and reasonable price. I am an avid purchaser of Febreeze products and will be adding this item to my long-term collection. Thank you so much Febreze and ChickAdvisor for allowing me and my family the opportunity to try this product… I will be recommending this product to my family and friends.

First and foremost, thank you so much Chick Advisor for the opportunity to test the L'oreal Intense Repair Masque!
First, a quick explanation of my hair type - I'm of East Indian descent and was blessed with long silky wavy/curly hair. Nevertheless, given my infatuation with straight hair, I decided to take the plunge and have my hair chemically straightened... BIG MISTAKE. This, along with ten years of straightening, have turned my once beautiful tresses into a horrifying mess of long straw-like frizzy dry hair
.
I was super excited to find out that I was going to be receiving the L'oreal Intense Repair Masque. Having used the conditioner several times upon receipt, here is what I have found so far:
My overall experience has been quite pleasant. I do wish that the masque came in a squeeze bottle, as I am not a fan of using twist container when dealing with wet hair. Also, I would prefer squeezing the preferred amount into the palm of my hand as opposed to scooping it out of a container. The scent, similar to the shampoo, reminded me of a light blend of cucumber and oats - although it's a pleasant and light 'summery' smell, it's not one that I am accustomed to as I am more inclined to use products with a floral/perfume scent (not necessarily a good thing!). The consistency of the masque is nice and thick, something you definitely wish for in a masque - you can, however, easily coat your hair with a small amount. Upon application and rinse, my hair definitely feels smooth and silky! The best part is that I don't seem to have as much hair fall out as I normally do after I rinse out my regular conditioner.
When my hair has dried, I haven't noticed a significant change in terms of moisture levels, smoothness and health. However, I haven't used this masque nearly enough for it to have made a noticeable impact as of yet - I definitely am positive that there is potential over long-term use!
Although I haven't used many repairing masques in the past, if I had to compare this product to others that I have tried, I would rank it highly due to the fact that I've been finding hidden curls that I had thought I had lost forever given all the chemical and heat damage I caused my poor hair. Also, I love how smooth and silky my hair feels as soon as I rinse it out and towel dry it. Thus, I am hopeful that it will help with the overall moisture, smoothness and health of my hair as well! I just wish there was a greater quantity!
The product is rather pricey, so for me to purchase it again or recommend it to a friend would require heavy justification - if the smoothness, texture and health of my hair is restored, as long as my curls, then I would seriously consider purchasing again! Thank you again Chick Advisor... you rock!!! :)

Thank you so much Chick Advisor for the opportunity to test the L'oreal Intense Repair shampoo!!!!

This, along with ten years of straightening, have turned my once beautiful tresses into a horrifying mess of long straw-like frizzy dry hair.
I was super excited to find out that I was going to be receiving the L'oreal Intense Repair Shampoo. Having used the shampoo several times upon receipt, here is what I have found so far:
My overall experience has been quite pleasant. Although the bottle is smaller than one would hope for given the price, it is easy to handle the bottle and squeeze the desired amount. The scent reminded me of a light blend of cucumber, oats and sunscreen - although it's a pleasant and light 'summery' smell, it's not one that I am accustomed to. The consistency of the shampoo is rather thick, however, it is applied easily and you can easily spread a small amount throughout your hair. I'm more used to shampoos that build noticeable lather, something I did not find with this shampoo - perhaps this means there is less chemicals? Definitely something nice to believe!!! :) The downfall is that my hair doesn't feel as clean as with other shampoos... this might be a reality vs. perception matter given the lack of lather.
I haven't noticed a significant change in my hair in terms of moisture levels, smoothness and health - unfortunately it still looks like frizzy mess. However, I haven't used this shampoo nearly enough for it to have made a noticeable impact as of yet - I definitely am positive that there is potential! Here's the exciting bit... it seems that a few of my curls are coming back!!! I thought I had lost my curls forever given the damage I have done to my hair, but after only a few uses, it seems that there is hope!
If I had to compare this product to others that I have tried, I would rank it highly due to the fact that I've been finding hidden curls. I am hopeful that it will help with the overall moisture, smoothness and health of my hair as well... only time will tell! I do wish, however, that there was a stronger scent and greater quantity in the bottle!
The product is rather pricey, so for me to purchase it again or recommend it to a friend would require heavy justification - if my curls are restored, and if the shampoo delivers on it's claim of "Intense Repair", then I will definitely consider purchasing again. Again, I'm not even halfway through the bottle, so only time will tell! =)

I was fortunate enough to be selected to test and review this product by Chick Advisor – first and foremost, thank you so much Chick Advisor and Oral B for this opportunity, as I would never have had the opportunity to try this product otherwise.
As soon as I opened the package, I was instantaneously drawn to the sleek and simple design of the Oral B power toothbrush – it’s very lightweight and manoeuvrable. Holding it is as simple as with a manual toothbrush (although it is a touch heavier, you easily become adapted to this with a few uses), and the cleaning head is the exact right size that one would want it to be to target all the hard-to-reach areas (i.e. behind the mouth). I am not the biggest fan of the precision tip given the roughness of the bristles, but I am becoming accustomed to it over time and know that they play a key role in a good cleaning job.
The toothbrush allows you to select a “clean” or “sensitive” mode. I personally find the vibrations while on the “clean” mode a bit too strong for me, so I have stuck with the “sensitive” mode and find it to work absolutely fantastic. I have only been using the toothbrush for less than two weeks so cannot comment on my teeth being whiter, but they are definitely cleaner – as many others have described, my teeth feel as clean as they do when I leave my dentists’ office. With my manual brush, I often find myself brushing a lot harder then I should so that my teeth feel clean – this power toothbrush has definitely eliminated that need… I just hold it in place and let the brush head work away! My teeth and gums feel unbelievable clean, and my mouth overall feels fresh longer. I actually enjoy brushing my teeth now!
The charger is in the form of a compact stand, which is excellent in terms space conservation on the bathroom sink. The stand also allows you to store two brush heads, which is great if you’re sharing the handle with another individual. A full charge allows you to utilize the brush for a total of 30 minutes – although I find myself brushing longer than the recommended time allotment since I am so in love with this tooth brush and brushing my teeth now), I have only had to charge once in the week.
To expand on the mention of the recommended time allotment, the toothbrush has a timer feature that notifies the user when they’ve sufficiently brushed one quadrant of their teeth, and can then move onto the next. There are four divided quadrants which are two be cleaned for 30-seconds each as per the timers recommendation; the same noise is repeated twice consecutively to notify you that you have brushed your mouth for the dentist recommended 2 minutes. This is definitely a handy feature as I often forget how long I have been brushing for and if I have done a thorough job.
My only apprehension with this product is the cost of it, as well as the accumulative cost that once would incur with having to purchase replacement heads. Nevertheless, good oral hygiene is necessary for good overall health, and as such, the cost is an investment for good health – a cost that is easily justifiable.
There is absolutely no comparison between the Oral B electric toothbrush and a manual one – the Oral B Pulsonic will come out on top every time given the amazing and unparalled results. I will definitely continue to use this product and will be recommending this product to family and friends!
Thanks again Chick Advisor!!!! =)

I absolutely adore this liquid liner!!! This is absolutely hands-down my newest fav addition to my beauty must-haves.
To begin with, although the applicator is felt-tip, it is firm so that you are ensured to have a straight application each time. I love that the tip is thick enough so that multiple layers are not required.
The liner has incredible staying power even on top of the most shimmery eyeshawdows - I apply it in the morning, and it does not budge until I remove it at night. The pigmentation is amazing and intense - I never need to apply multiple layers to get an ultra-rich look.
The value for the price is well worth it in my opinion - the product lasts long and does not irritate the skin or eyes.
Definitely a two thumbs-up!!!

I always have loved making my eyes pop out by using liquid liner. After having used several different brands of liquid liner, I had settled on this one quite some time ago.
The felt tip definitely makes the liquid liner easy to apply; once you get used to the way the tip moves along your lid line, application and manoeuvring the tip becomes quite easy.
The liquid liner definitely has staying power, however, I often find that my liner seems a bit lighter and worn at the end of the day than at the start – nothing too drastic or concerning though. I love that this specific liner never irritates my eyes; many other liners make my eyes water all day, which always result in me smudging the line I created. This liner has proven to be the best for me in terms of being non-irritating.
I do find when I place this liner on extremely shimmery eye shadow, it doesn't really stand out, but for regular day wear, I highly recommend this product! I use this liner everyday and the little tube lasts for ages – definitely worth the cost, which in comparison to other liquid liners, is highly reasonable and affordable.
