I air dry my hair about 99% of the time, so when I heard about this product, I was quite intrigued.
The product is very light weight. I don’t feel like I’m putting anything in my hair and the feeling is not sticky at all. It is very easy to apply. I also enjoy the scent of product. I always love using hair products that leave a subtle lingering fragrance in my hair.
Now, what caught my attention the most was its claim to fight frizz. My hair tends to get pretty frizzy during the air drying process, especially during those humid and rainy days. On a normal day, I found it did reduce the amount of frizz and fly aways, but not by much. On a more humid day, again, it did reduce a little bit of frizz initially, but the frizz came back, and in full force too.
I haven’t used this product too many times but so far my experience seems to be the same every time. I really want this product to work so I am going to continue using it in hopes it’ll help with the frizz.

I received this product to try out for free in the mail and I ended up using it on four-old day hair.
For one, I love how weightless the foam is. The mousse is so light and airy. Goes on wet but dries incredibly fast, making it very easy for a quick hair refresh. It gave my hair that clean shine I get when I actually do wash my hair.
The scent is also really nice. The smell is fresh, but subtle. Every now and then I will get a waft of it during the day, and I am a huge fan of subtle, lingering hair scents!
Also, it's nice that I don't have to worry about any white residue left over in my hair or clothes that I tend to get from other dry powder shampoos. The only thing I would say is missing is the volumizing aspect I would normally get from a dry shampoo.
But overall, I feel this product is a pretty good for refreshing hair in-between washes. I believe it does everything that it claims to do and is worth giving a try.

Personally, I prefer my thermal protection in a spray bottle form. It's simple, keeps my hands clean and lightweight. This protective shield, however, does feel lightweight in my hair.
I do enjoy the fact that this product includes protection against thermal styling AS WELL as UV damage. Not many products (or that I can find) has protection against the sun's harmful rays.
Other than the protection it gives to my hair, I don't feel any difference in feel or look.

I wash my hair in hard water and this conditioner does a pretty decent job softening my hair and detangling it. For my personal use, I wish the consistency was a little bit thicker for more hydration, but otherwise, no complainants here. My favourite thing about this conditioner is the scent. I love hair products that leave a lovely lingering fragrance in my hair all day long, and it does just that. -

After trying out the whole Defy Damage line by Joico, I must say that this masque product in particular is my favourite! It has a thick consistency to it which I felt really hydrated my hair. I, unfortunately, wash my coloured hair in hard water and no matter what I use, my hair usually comes out as a tangled mess, but not with this product! I leave my shower with soft, silky and healthy looking/feeling hair, and I'm all for it! -

I used this shampoo after 3 days of not washing my hair and after a two day hike. As the product claims, it did a great job at gently washing away all the oil. It lathered quite nicely and it didn't leave my scalp feeling dry or itchy (which is usually a problem for me).
Overall, I enjoyed using this product and the top selling points for me was the gentleness, the creamy texture, as well as the scent.

I really enjoyed the combination of all the flavours. Everything complimented each other so well and it definitely hit my sweet tooth craving. My favourite part of the ice cream were the peanut butter gobs, so delicious!
For a non-dairy ice cream, it still tastes very creamy. I am looking forward to trying out their other flavours and I hope Ben & Jerry come out with more.
Thanks to ChickAdvisor for sending me such a yummy little treat.

This is my first time using an antiperspirant in spray form, so I resorted to the instructions at the back of the bottle. I was able to use the product ok, however I was not sure how much product I should've been spraying.
The product claims that the spray goes on instantly dry, however I didn't find that was the case. For me, it was slightly damp to the touch (similarly to applying a stick antiperspirant). I thought this was maybe because I sprayed on too much but I received the same results after the second, third and fourth try.
I also felt like the scent was overwhelming when it is first applied, but it does go away once everything settles and it leaves a nice fresh scent.
It does go on clear and I haven't had any problems with staining on my clothes, which is awesome.
It kept me sweat-free all day.

I received this product for free to test out from ChickAdvisor.
Right off the bat, the brush is very soft and feels pretty nice against the skin. Before using it, I washed the brush to see if there was any colour leak or shedding. There was no colour leak and only 3-4 of the bristles came out, nothing major.
I used this brush to apply the Nude by Nature Radiant Loose Powder Foundation. For me, the bristles were not packed together tight enough to give me the application that I wanted. I think this is more ideal for a light dusting of powder rather than providing coverage. I also found it difficult to use this brush around my nose or underneath my eyes, due to the size of the brush and how freely the bristles moved around.
I would personally prefer a denser brush to apply powder foundation, however this brush would be great for applying a finishing powder.
Brand Response:
Thank you for your feedback and we are pleased that you had a chance to try the Mineral Brush. The brush is handcrafted, so may lose a few bristles when initially used but this should not continue. Please contact us directly if you have any further questions or require assistance at [email protected].
