The first thing I want to say about the maxglow infusion drops is that I really don't like the smell. It smells like that generic conditioner you get any home hair dye kit, a sort of phony Floral hair product scent. I use the product directly without mixing into a moisturizer, which is an option. I didn't find that it's smooth on very easily, it had a bit of a tacky drag to it as I applied. In addition, the applicator didn't pull up the product as easily as it should nor did it release it very well. It may be that I had a faulty bottle. I will say that once the product was absorbed into my skin it did leave me with a fairly smooth feeling on my face. Unfortunately I could still smell the product sitting on my face, and as I mentioned I didn't particularly enjoy the scent. It would probably take a while to be able to actually evaluate whether this product makes your skin look more glowy.
Over all, I probably wouldn't use this product again. There are too many other products out there that I prefer and the scent just really bothers me.

I was so happy to receive this product from chickadvisor to try.
Hyaluronic acid is a great product for facial skin care and now it's great for body skincare too! The Neutrogena Hydro Boost body gel cream has a wonderfully light consistency and goes on so smoothly. It is a fast-absorbing product that does not leave any sort of greasy feeling on your skin. And it definitely moisturizes really well! It's really great to find a body product that contains hyaluronic acid. It is very effective at not only eliminating dry skin but maintaining soft supple skin.
I am particularly thrilled that the product is fragrance free. This makes it very good for anybody with sensitive skin.
I recommend this product to anybody struggling to find something that is actually effective for their dry skin or who needs to eliminate the dry skin that we often struggle with during the winter months. This one is definitely getting added to my roster of regular products.

I was thrilled to have the opportunity to try these buns and they did not disappoint. I served them a couple of days ago using both regular hot dogs as well as vegetarian hot dogs. They were the perfect accompaniment for both, extremely soft and delicious. They are also the perfect size, holding lots of toppings without splitting apart like some buns do. I don't know if it's the olive oil that makes them so soft and tasty but whatever it is I will be buying these again and again. Highly recommended. -

I was thrilled to have the chance to try this tea courtesy of Chick Advisor. It's the perfect combination of spicy and citrus, in fact that describes the lovely fragrance when opening the container. The turmeric lends a subtle earthiness to the citrus taste and is very balanced, there is definitely none of that fake fruit taste you sometimes get. Make sure you steep as directed, I found not steeping long enough meant it seemed a little watery flavoured.
This one is definitely joining my tea cupboard. I love that is it caffeine free making it a great bedtime sip!

This Micellar water is amazing! I have been using this product(the dry and sensitive formula) for just under 2 weeks now and I have to say I really like it. It does an amazing job at both removing my makeup and as a general cleanser. It does not leave any tackiness on my skin just softness and a fresh clean feeling. I have also not had any problems with breakouts which is something I have had with other similar products. I think this is one of the better drugstore level brands for the price and value. I recommend this for anybody who has dry or sensitive skin and just needs a gentle effective cleansing product. -

I was fortunate enough to be chosen to try the Nivea care nourishing cream. I have found this to be an excellent product for dry skin, something that I tend to deal with in the summertime. It goes on smoothly and definitely leaves my skin soft and moisturized, totally taking care of any dry patches. It does have that familiar Nivea aroma, so if you are looking for a product that is unscented or low scented, this may not be for you. This product comes in a very generous sized package, I anticipate it will last for a while. -

I was so happy to be chosen to try this as I absolutely NEVER actually suntan but love using self-tanner in the summer.
This product is so easy to apply and doesn't feel heavy or greasy. It also didn't have that overwhelming fake tan smell some products have. I found it a breeze to apply without missing any spots.
It seems to develop over the next few hours after application. I thought the colour was very natural and real looking, not too dark but it definitely added a lovely glow. It's noticeable enough to eliminate needing foundation (and you won't want to cover it up anyway!)
I will be continuing to use this product because even though it's pricier than some other drugstore type brands, the quality of the results makes it worthwhile. A summer winner!

I've spent the past week using the Sukin Revitalizing Facial Scrub. It's a great product! My skin can sometimes be reactive to super abrasive products but the exfoliating in this one is fairly gentle and didn't cause any soreness or redness. It has definitely left my skin feeling soft and fresh with no residual tightness. I love that the exfoliating comes from natural sources which makes it better for your skin and the environment. It has no phony smelling fragrance and my face feels clean and ready for the next steps in my beauty regime. I Will absolutely continue using this product. -

The perfect choice going into summer for coffee lovers! The Kicking Horse Kick Ass Cold brew was just as amazing as their regular coffee. Rich, full-bodied and dark, there is no lack of flavour here. The coffee flavour is on the strong side so it helps if that is to your taste. It's definitely not bitter though! I thoroughly enjoyed this as a replacement for my usual hot coffee; made the morning pick me up refreshing AND delicious! I like that there are no added sweeteners, just wonderful, balanced coffee flavour. I drank it straight but I bet this would be delicious blended up with some cream or a flavoured creamer. -

I had the opportunity to try the Cherry pomegranate club soda recently, and it was the perfect bubbly summer drink. The flavor is very subtle and not overwhelmingly sweet which is nice. It's a nice foundation for adding other flavors, I tried adding some pineapple juice and pieces of pineapple and it was amazing. To me, the slight cherry flavor was far more prominent than any pomegranate.
If you're looking for something different than pop with a bit of fizz and a light fruity flavor, I recommend this. Not only is it delicious as is, but I think it would be delicious with a splash of gin or vodka.
