Chickadvisor Vichy campaign

I received these product for free from ChickAdvisor and Vichy, which I thank them for.

ChickAdvisor had a campaign in which you choose a routine from their list and if you were chosen you would receive these products for free. I had chosen the Hydration (Dry Skin) routine, Hydration which is the sensitive skin products.

Here is a picture I took of the three products

Image is mine.

What did you get and how do they work?

First product I had received is the Vichy purete Thermale Cleansing Foam Radiance Revealer which is a facial cleanser that foams. You just damp your face and use one pump and gently cleanses and wash off with water. This cleanser restores radiance and freshness of the skin while it gently removes impurities.

Second product is the Vichy Thermale Spa Water which is a water that is a spray that helps reduce redness and irritation and discomfort of the skin while reinforcing the skin's natural defenses against external factors and prematured aging.

The third and final product is the Vichy Aqualia Thermal Rich Cream which is a day cream that it re-hydrates the skin and lasts 48 hours.

What do you think each product?

I personally think all three products work really well. The cleanser works pretty well, it leaves your skin clear and nice and smooth with no redness. The spray is fantastic, when you have itchy irritated skin, it really does work to keep your skin calm. Lastly the cream absorbs really quickly into the skin and you don't feel like you have any cream on your face once so ever, and lasts 48 hours which is a plus. I would likely buy these products in the future.

Where do you get the products and how much do they retail for?

You can find these products in drug stores and major department stores such as sears and hudson's bay. The cleanser retails for 19.99, the spray retails for 13.00 dollars, and the day cream is 39.99, all prices are Canadian.

Nivea Nourishing In Shower Body Milk

I received a free sample of the Nivea Nourishing In Shower Body Milk in almond oil from Nivea when they were in my province, they had a pretty cool display with a bathtub and with two women handing out samples with towel dresses, which was pretty neat.

What is the product and what does it do?

The product is a in shower lotion, in which you apply after you finish cleaning your body with body wash or soap and then you apply and wait a minute and wash off and that will leave you with moisturized skin for 24 hours. This version is made for dry to very dried skin. They have other types of lotion as well for people that don't have very dried skin, if you would like to check that out then you can click here.

What do I think of this product?

I personally love this stuff, it works really well, not only did it absorb into the skin but it made my skin feel super soft and hydrated, I would definitely buy a full sized product. This is something I would need in the winter since I do tend to have dried skin during the colder seasons. Over all a good product.

Here is a photo, of what I received.

My Nivea skincare routine part 2

This is my Summer routine of the Nivea skincare line. As I said previously this is an easy 3 step routine, just 1.cleanse,2.tone and 3.put cream, night cream is optional as well.

On hotter days I use the Purifying Cleansing Gel to wash my face, Purifying toner to tone and lastly Mattifying Day Cream SPF15.

Here is a picture I took of the bottles

Image is mine.

Who are these products for and where to get them?

These products are formulated for oily to combination skin, which can be used all year round but for myself I prefer to use these products for the summer/warmer days. These products can be found in major stores, online and grocery stores as well.

What I think of them?

I find this product line is gentle and easy to use. I really love the Mattifying Day Cream, it's really light and isn't greasy but don't put to much on because it may become greasy.

Over all I would say so far, one of the best skincare lines I've tried that works well for my skin. I hope you enjoy them as well. If you have any questions you make ask them.

My Nivea skincare routine part 1

I've been using Nivea's skincare line for I would say about at least a year now and I love it. It's really easy to use and instructions are clear , all you have to do is 1. cleanse, 2. tone and 3. put your cream on, you can also put a night cream on but I don't do that due to not wanting to put to much product on my skin, my personal choice.

Due to having dried sensitive skin on colder days I use the Gentle Cleansing Cream to wash my face, to tone I use the Gentle Toner and lastly for cream I use is Nourishing Day Cream SPF 15 but at the moment because I ran out of the day cream I use the Mattifying Day Cream, review is here to learn more about that cream.

Here is a picture I took of the bottles

Image is mine

Who are these products for and where to get them?

All of these products are formulated for dry to sensitive skin, if you are looking for a affordable skincare routine that may work for you then it this might be it. These products are sold in most major stores and even in grocery stores and online as well.

What I think of them?

Reasonable priced and affordable. These products work really well on my skin and I don't have any allergic reactions to it and my skin feels nice and smooth and looks fresh without greasiness. Tip only use a bit when applying the day cream you actually don't need to use a lot.

Over all I would say so far, one of the best skincare lines I've tried that works well for my skin. I hope you enjoy them as well. If you have any questions you make ask them.

Here is a photo.

What does the foot mask do?

It peels the dead skin off and makes your feet smooth.

What are the instructions?

First make sure you have time because you will need leave product on for two hours

What you need to do is wash your feet, soak them in warm water for 10 mins

Than apply masks for two hours, but you will need some plastic wrap or plastic covers for your feet. Depends on what you buy some include wraps.

After you have to wash off residue and wait up to 7-15 days for peeling. Do not put lotion on this time and do not peel your skin either.

What do I think of the mask?

I enjoyed it, made my feet pretty smooth and it works well. I love the smell, it would be nice if they had of some sort spray that smells just like the product because it smells so nice. I really liked the product. I would probably re-buy again in the future.

L'OCCITANE EN PROVENCE free sample tin

Back in April L'OCCITANE EN PROVENCE had a promotion and I signed up and printed out my coupon and received my free sample. I know it's a bit late but I decided to make a review due the fact I did not post this on my blog.

The samples came with a tin. The samples in the tin came with Delightful Rose and Vanilla Bouquet, they both have 20% shea butter in them.

Here is a photo of the samples, ring is not included.

Image is mine

I would say the samples were alright. I only used them over night due with gloves due to the fact that it was a bit to greasy for the amount I needed for my hands but they do smell really nice. I liked the Vanilla one better than the rose. Over all both worked alright so I'll give it 4/5 rating.

I would love to try their other products as well since they have some interesting items and their stores are amazing looking and have very nice staff. So maybe in the future I will do just that.

Fruits & Passion Special Care FOOT MASK

I had bought this the other day. At first I thought this was a peeling mask for the feet but it's just a foot mask for moisture but still good for the price and worth it. Make sure you read packages and know what you are looking for in case you make the mistake.

These masks are good when your feet are dry or if you just want to use regularly.

image is mine, star fish is a hair clip not included*

The directions:

You just have to separate your socks and open them and leave them on up to 20-30 minutes but I recommend 30 mins than you just massage your feet the lotion is completely absorbed into skin.

What it says on the back of the package:

Enriched with Shea butter, the Fruits and Passion foot masks offer you long lasting moisturization, leaving your skin soft and supple. A care worthy of the spa in the comfort of your own home!

Where to buy and how much are they?

You can find these at pretty much any Fruits and Passion store for 3.50 but I only paid 2.50 because of sale but it is still worth it at regular price. They also have hand masks as well at the same price.

What do I think of the foot mask?

I enjoyed the product and it made my feet really soft and nice, not sure how long it lasts though. Over all a good buy.

Mario Badescu Skin Care Free Samples

You can sign up here for your free samples, if you would like to try them out. You donot have to pay for them, they will arrive at your home within 6 weeks I think. Make sure your address is written correctly or they will be sent back.

images are mine.

You will receive a booklet that's personalized for you and the instructions are there for each product and when and how to use them properly.

I've received 6 samples but I was told to have 7 but unfortunately the product isn't available to sample.

The following samples I've received are

For the morning routine

Orange cleaning soap

The cleanser doesn't feel like soap, it feels more like a gel. I didn't really enjoy that to much sadly.

Aloe Lotion

I liked this aloe lotion, it's a liquid that goes right into the skin and dries right away. It feels nice and makes your skin soft. No reactions, which is good.

Hyaluronic Eye Cream

Light weight cream, not sure if it made a difference honestly.

The Moisture Magnet SPF 15

A bit to moisturizing for warmer weather, so I think it's best for winter due to being a heavy moisturizer.

For the night routine

Flower & Tonic Mask

The mask was nice, it made my skin feel smooth.

Kiwi Face Scrub

Gentle on skin and does a nice job.

Bee Pollen Night Cream

Same as the day cream a little to thick unless for colder weather.

Lastly that was not included was the Drying Lotion.

Dr.Oz Naturals products review

So I saw that you can get up to 4 free products from Dr.Oz Naturals

To sign up you can go here.

This is how it works, you sign up and choose a product that's available to your country than you get it sent to you but you must review it on Amazon and send your link after two weeks of testing than you may get another product. You can get 4 products. You will be emailed.

I had my products sent from March until May 2015.

I had chosen the

1.Ocean mineral facial cleanser, which is the turquoise bottle

The ocean mineral cleanser is alright, although the cleanser somewhat leaves a bit of residue. My skin didn't have a allergic reaction. This product does not contain mircobeads, which is a plus. The product it's self isn't badly priced, it's about 25 to 28 dollars Canadian. Not sure if I would buy it.

2.Vitamin C Cleanser which is the orange larger bottle

I prefer this cleanser over the ocean mineral. This cleanser apparently is good for dark spots, freckles etc to help fade them or completely rid of it. I've used both cleanser and serum, which work pretty good. This cleanser doesn't leave a sticky residue. This also has no microbeads and is also about 25 to 30 dollars. My skin took a liking to it. I would say use this more in the Summer and Winter seasons.

3.Amino herbal hydration mask which is green bottle

This mask is a clear mask that's a gel based, which is different than the usual creamy types I've tried in general.

This mask is easy to use just put it on your face for 30 mins and than rinse with water. I did enjoy it. It did make my skin soft and I had no reaction to it. I think this is best used for Winter season or when you need refreshing mask in the Summer for some hydration.

4.Vitamin C serum the smaller orange bottle

Really easy to use. I liked that it you barely needed any to apply and it sinks right into the skin. I would recommend if you have the vitamin c cleanser use that first than the serum afterwards. I didn't have an allergic reaction, which is good. It does work but it does take some time. You have to apply daily to start seeing results.

Also on the boxes, they say to cleanse, use exfoliation, use serum, and moisturizer but I just use cleanser and serum. Over all I really liked the products. I hope you enjoy yours, if you decide to try it.

Here is a photo I took of the products I had.

Here they are up close.

If you have any questions I will try to answer, you can also find out more information on products on the website or Amazon.

Kiehl's Calendula Deep Cleansing Foaming Face Wash Free Sample

Kiehl's is a company that does skin care products, body and more. Stores are located in many countries.

I had received a free sample of the Calendula deep cleansing foaming face wash from Kiehl's from an online promotion sometime in May I think it was.

They had a promotion on their Facebook page or website and I signed up.

This is what the card I received looked like

This what the sample looks like.

Images are mine

Over all I enjoyed the sample and found it works really well. It's suited for normal,oily skin and I think sensitive as well.

The wash foams up and does not leave any residue and feels nice. The only down fall is the price for a 250ml is 35 dollar.

Other than that if you are interested it's worth trying. Hope you enjoy it.
