I received this product to try and was a bit nervous about how my skin would react to the Retinol. Instead it was gentle and effective! I started slow with once a day application (instead of the twice daily recommendation) to see how my skin would react and when there was no dryness I increased to twice a day. Over the past month I have noticed a change in the fine lines around my eyes. Definitely reduced which is great! I’m hopeful that the next improvements will be my neck lines. -

The smell of the cleanser was amazing. It was light and fragrant but not overpowering. I usually find exfoliating cleansers too harsh on my skin but this was incredibly gentle and I had no redness or dry patches. It was gentle enough to use twice a day in the morning and at night after taking off my makeup (which I did) and my skin was noticeably brighter and softer. I had no sensitivity at all and my skin was so soft to the touch. I love this cleanser! -
Nude by Nature Perfecting Primer
I use primer under my foundation daily for work. I would say I prefer the silicon style that feels like it sits on top of your skin to create a smooth surface rather than the kind that seem to fill in “holes” to create the surface. The Nude By... +
I use primer under my foundation daily for work. I would say I prefer the silicon style that feels like it sits on top of your skin to create a smooth surface rather than the kind that seem to fill in “holes” to create the surface. The Nude By Nature fits into the second category so not my first choice. It worked well as a base for my foundation and I’m pleased with the performance. My one complaint is that I did not like the fragrance (too earthy and vegetal). -

Received a sample from Chick Advisor of this and the creamy chocolate peanut butter flavour. I am aways on the lookout for quick pre exercise foods that provide energy while not being hard to digest or upsetting your stomach so was excited to try them. Had this before a workout class and had more than enough energy to do the class. The flavour was fine my not my favourite. Overall both bars were absolutely perfect for my energy needs without having too much sugar. -

I had this bar pre 10km run last Sunday morning and I gave me a great amount of energy to sustain me. I often struggle to find something suitable to eat before running that won't either feel like a brick in my stomach or make me a bit queasy. This bar completely hit the spot and will be my go to pre run breakfast -

I received a sample with the body wash from Chick Advisor. The scent was fantastic and while the application of the cream was great, it felt sticky on my trunk. I honestly think the fact that I have hot flashes was the reason. It was great for my legs so I definitely recommend it for that. I passed on to a colleague who loved it overall. -
Aveeno Daily Moisturizing Yogurt Body Wash, Apricot and Honey
This body wash has fantastic lather and leaves your skin very soft. My partner said to me "you smell nice" after my first use. It had a luxurious feel. Love it!

Received this through a free sample, arrived early last week.
After reading the suggestion on the box, I decided to use it as a primer for under my makeup. Since I use a primer anyways, I felt it was a way to use a primer that had additional skin care benefits. It worked really well as a primer for a base underneath my foundation. Went on easily and my face was very smooth. I liked the texture and the fragrance. Too soon to tell about the anti-wrinkle benefits as I only used for the last 3 days in the week and this morning, but I really like the product. I'm calling it Primer Plus!

After reading a suggestion from another reviewer, I used this in place of shaving cream. I found it to be an excellent use of the product, because it left my legs soft and smooth. I also used it on the rest of my body but really prefer it as a shaving lotion. And I liked that it didn't leave the bottom of my tub slippery. -

II was excited to try the sample of the Vichy Idealia Life Skin Sleep to try and be more diligent with using a cream at night. I have been pleased with the results and ysing it almost every night. It took me a bit of experimenting to find out not too use too much so that it absorbs. Less is definitely more or you end up with a thick layer fairly easily. My skin as been noticeably softer and smoother with the night cream and serum combination. And I love the light scent and texture. Definitely a great product for happy, moisturized mid-40's skin. -
