It's been awhile since I've used any sort of peel-off mask, so when I received this product for free from Chickadvisor and Aveeno, I thought it’d be great to try out again and incorporate something new into my skincare routine. This product is housed in a squeeze tube container, with this mint-coloured, thick creamy-like consistency. As you apply it to your skin, it feels sticky and starts to turn into this gel-like texture and continuing to turn transparent like you have this egg wash on your face. After a few minutes it's no longer sticky and dries down all the while your face just feels slight tight. Avoid any product on your hairline, eye area and eyebrows. It has this sweet fruity scent but you don't notice too much once applied. Leave on for 15-20 minutes tops otherwise you’ll have difficulty peeling it off. If this happens, it’s nothing a warm, damp towel can’t take care of. Just steam your face with it and slowly wipe off. Don't rub because your face feels sensitive at this point. Rinse your face if necessary to remove any residue and what is revealed, is a much fresher, cleaner and clearer skin than you had before. I did, however, notice that the pores underneath my eye area, around the nose, were more visible than before, probably because your pores are open now; but it doesn't look terrible.
I'm not sure how often to use this mask, since it contains AHAs(exfoliants). I would try to limit the use to maybe twice or three times a week just in case because I have sensitive skin. Overuse of AHAs can irritate and cause redness in the skin in the long run Try using this mask only at night and make sure to wear sunscreen during the day. In any case, I definitely enjoyed incorporating this new product into my weekly skincare routine and will continue to do so.

I love sleep masks in general and have a couple that I alternate with, so when I found out that I’d also be receiving this product for free from Chickadvisor and Aveeno, I was excited to try this one out. I first saw this being used by Jen Chiu of Chiutips on Youtube. It made her skin look quite radiant and plump.
This mask is great when you need that little bit of assistance where dry skin is concerned. This one has a "no mess" applicator tube. Attached is a silicone paddle, as you squeeze the product out, you slide the paddle across your face as if you were using a flat foundation brush on your skin. A little goes a long way so you really don't need all that much. Apply an even layer. As it comes out of the tube, it’s a thick, rich consistency that feels so nourishing. It's a bit tricky at first trying to apply this on your face because of the paddle applicator as it doesn't go on evenly but as you apply maybe every night it becomes easier to use. In areas that need more hydration like the cheeks, forehead, sides of the face near the ears, and the chin, you can apply a bit more there. Though the directions say not to rub it in with your hands, I just used my fingers to gently pat and press the product into my skin.
Feels like this protective barrier all over your skin afterwards. It absorbed rather quickly and your skin feels so soft and smooth - Plumper. Use this as the last step in your nightly skincare routine, right before sleep. When you wake up in the morning just wash it off as you normally would in your AM routine. Wow, my skin felt more hydrated and less dull. Love it!

I was so excited when I knew I was going to be receiving this product for test and review! Thank you Chickadvisor and Aveeno Canada for this free product. I first saw these glow drops being used by Jen Chiu of Chiutips on Youtube. It made her skin look amazingly fresh. This serum is housed in this adorable glass dropper bottle and all you need is just 2 -3 drops; wear alone or mixed in with your moisturizer. Perfect for those no makeup days but still want to look put together.
I mostly use these glow drops mixed in with my moisturizer and I have to say, it leaves my skin glowing like I've just freshly washed my face. It has a very sweet fruity scent but not overpowering. Once applied the scent seems to dissipate. No greasy feel afterwards. The fact that glycerin is the second ingredient, this product does help draw in that moisture into the skin allowing me feel hydrated all day long. I have also worn this under makeup and it helps my makeup stay put all day. I can't get enough of it!!!

I have extremely dry skin so when I found out that I was going to be receiving this full-sized product for free from ChickAdvisor to try, I was totally psyched! I’ve noticed over the past couple of years as I age, my skin has gotten progressively drier and no over the counter creams or lotions had little effect on giving me any sort of relief. My skin would soak up any product and then become dry again. I’ve been using this cream for almost a week now and I absolutely fell in love with it.
.
I think it has been a total game changer for me. I love this line and am a big fan of their Hydro Boost face gel cream as well. This body lotion is very lightweight and I think it’s the hyaluronic acid in this product that really adds kick locking in that moisture into our skin and it does just that. You need to apply this lotion daily for it be effective. I only applied a thin layer of this cream all over my body after a shower/or a bath and my body is so happy! I’m no longer itchy or dry. A non-greasy formula, it absorbs quickly into your skin leaving your skin feeling nice and soft and smooth to the touch. It pumps out thick into this slippery-silicone texture, and melts into your skin like a lotion. I would compare this lotion to the "Cerave Moisturizing Lotion" but I find the Neutrogena one works much better for me and nips my dryness in the bud. This product kinda smells like rubbing alcohol even though it's unscented but you don't smell anything once applied to the skin.
.
My skin is extra dry in certain areas like my forearms, around my biceps, and ankles so I apply a second layer. I’ve got my daughter using this as well and she too has dry skin. She absolutely loves it! This product is perfect to help us combat dry skin during these harsh winters and good for any time of year really. Thanks Neutrogena for introducing my family to this amazing product! It's definitely worth every penny and am definitely recommending it to my friends and relatives!

I received this full-sized conditioner from Chickadvisor to try for free. The bottle is very attractive and slim looking with a pump dispenser attached to it. I find the pump dispenser makes it ideal when you are in the shower for easy dispensing. About 2-3 pumps is enough for my long hair This product has a perfumed scent to it with a hint of that signature Dove scent that we all love and know. It has a milky-creamy texture that’s very lightweight and easily absorbed. Though the directions say to leave in for a minute, but because my hair is extremely dry and damaged, that wasn’t enough for me so I left it for about twenty minutes and that worked wonders. I made sure to only focus on the dry areas of my hair which was from the ears down to the ends.
After a few uses, I've already notice a difference in my hair. It leaves it nice and soft, shiny, bouncy, and more manageable. It doesn't weigh it down like most conditioners do to my hair. The ends of my hair though in the end were still slighty dry, but better than before I used it. I would very much love to see this haircare line expand its formula in a hair mask form or leave-in conditioner. That would be wonderful! It would definitely help smooth out my tresses. Overall, I think it’s a pretty good deal for what you are getting and this product definitely is easily available at your local drugstore or big box store. I will definitely continue to use this conditioner to see what it does to my hair over time to help repair my hair from over-styling and dying. I would definitely recommend it anyone who has dry damaged hair like myself. Thank you Dove for giving me the opportunity to try this. I love it!

These 1/2 moon-shaped cakes take me back to my childhood to the days my grandma would visit a friend of hers and bring back these chocolaty cream-filled goodies. Back then there wasn't a hard chocolaty coating there is now on these cakes, but it gives it that extra dimension in taste and texture. A very yummy, light tasting chocolate sponge cake and vanilla cream filling through out.
Now these are my daughter's favourite treat! They are the perfect snack size for a kids lunch pack and for us adults when we just want a small sweet treat!!

I originally received this product as a sample in the mail. I loved it so much that I purchased this product in the store. After showering with body wash and rinsing you apply this milk all over the body. It's water activated. I rub it on like I would lotion and just leave for a couple of minutes and then rinse off. It leaves your body hydrated and soft. I often use this on those nights I work late and come home too tired to do my usual body care routine or after the gym when I don't have time a whole lot of time afterwards. Perfect way to keep moisturized especially on these cold and dry winter days. -

I received this product for free. I bleached my hair beforehand so the dye would adhere better to my hair and achieving more of the blonde look rather than just a lightened look. This dye is very easy to use. Has a numbering system. When product is developing in your hair, you need to wear a shower cap otherwise it will start dripping. I didn’t notice much of a difference on my grey hairs. The conditioner provided was very thick, of a creamy consistency and was very nourishing. Afterwards my hair felt really soft. The dye itself has a perfumey scent but not overpowering. It did not burn my scalp or give me a headache because of its scent. -

I received a free sample of this product. The serum is stored in these tiny rose gold capsules, giving you the right amount of serum for your face. A little goes a long way to prevent over application. It mentions to use it only at night and when using Retinol(Vitamin A) it makes your skin more sensitive to the light so be sure to apply sunscreen when heading outdoors.
When this serum is applied, it has a very silicone-like texture to it leaving your skin feeling matte. It feels like a protective barrier has formed over your skin to moisturize it. My skin felt extremely soft and plump after the first application. I applied nightly after my cleansing and toning routine. I wait a few minutes to let the serum absorb into my skin before continuing moisturizing with my night creams.
My skin appears visibly smoother and the redness that's around my eyebrows and cheeks have diminished as well. Love this product so much!!!

This “Nivea Nourishing Care Cream” does not disappoint. I've never had a product by Nivea that did. This cream goes on thick when applied but absorbs quickly into the skin. It turns into this buttery texture as it melts into your skin. With a non-greasy feel and matte-like finish, it's surprisingly light and airy. Plus, it has the typical Nivea cream scent that I love but is very lightly scented. Love it so much!!! -
