I #gotitfree from @chickadvisor as was thrilled though a bit skeptical. I had visions of “paint” running down my face, and a stripe of colour that didn’t match my hair down the middle.
As you can see from the pictures that wasn’t the case. It took a couple of tries to figure out how to spray it, but once I got the hang of it it was easy and the colour really did match.
There are some drips here and there – tricky when you are trying to touch up the hairline, so protecting your clothes and wearing gloves are a good idea.
The texture once in my hair was quite stiff, so brushing it through didn’t seem an option, but overall it covered well, and I can see buying this again and recommending it to others.

I received this product for free as part of the Chick Advisor program, and so glad I did. Along with the chocolate product I really enjoyed it. It was convenient to bring along as an in between meal snack (low enough in calories you can do it), or as a post workout recovery drink, without the messy mixing of protein powder. My only suggestion is that you drink it really cold, it tastes the best that way. -

I'm quite dedicated to my protein powder I've been drinking for the past 2 years, so I was skeptical of this "pre-made" drink, as they tend to taste like chalk and be high in calories, not this one though. It was delicious, and perfectly compact to take to the gym as a post-work out recovery drink (no messy mixing required). It tasted liked a treat, and because of the low calories you could still have your meal afterwards. I'm so glad I received this free as part of the Chick Advisor program, or I would not have tried it - so glad I did!! -

Pleasantly Surprised at the Taste!
I received the Becel with Olive Oil free as part of the Chick Advisor product review club, and was anxious to compare it to the version we always purchased (Becel Low Sodium) . It was great, in fact I think we will now start to buy this version. I (wrongly) expected it to be oily and taste essentially like Olive oil, but it didn't influence the taste of the food we used it with and on.

Becel Olive Plus™ Oil Blend
Loved the taste of this product. I'm used to using pure olive oil which can impact the taste of the food. I made roasted spaghetti squash as well as a curry cauliflower side dish and both turned out great.

Catelli SuperGreens Fusilli
As with the Smart Veggie pasta, my kids love it! They were always a bit apprehensive with coloured pasta, but we decided to make a cold pasta salad - so the colours made sense, they loved it. It's now a lunch box staple in our house.

I have bought this before, so when I was selected to be part of the review team I was excited to use this opportunity to try something new. We made homemade mac and cheese (light on the cheese) and it was a big hit.

I have been using this scrub off and on since I was a teenager (a loooong time ago). It's stayed true to it's original formula which simply works. It's a basic scrub that is effective on my sensitive skin and yes, smells great too.
I don't use it very often, but when I go to it, it reminds me of high school - love it!

Looking for a defining mascara and found it with this one. It was a bit thick, so I had to "learn" how to use it on my lashes, but once I did - no multiple coats required, I really got to like it. Because it was thick I found it didn't last as long as others, but worth it for the results. -

I received this product as part of the Product Review Club.
PROS:
Light in texture and scent
No adverse reaction in terms of sensitivity or breakouts,
SPF 15
CONS:
No change in appearance - if you have a little bit of dullness on your face this may work for you, but I have some hyperpigmentation and have not seen a difference in the past 2 weeks for me.
Prefer a product with a higher SPF due to my sun sensitivity.
