Takis Xplosion Chips Review

I decided to let my kids pick the flavor for us to try and they chose hot chili peppers and lime. This was a mistake!

Both myself and my husband hated the flavor, my son said it was like eating rolled up Doritos that used too much seasoning to cover up the fact that they taste gross, my daughter said she liked them but she has yet to eat more than the small handful she originally took.

We have found they are somewhat fun to play with since they are rolled up like little sticks but no one seems to want to actually eat them.

My kids were originally pretty excited to try these Takis as they see kids all over their school eating them but they both said they are happy that we received a coupon to get them for free because they think they are a waste of money.

I’m hoping that it is just this one flavor that everyone in my house dislikes because I plan on buying every other flavor for us to try before I say with any certainty that these are not the chips for us.

Mentholatum No Mess Roll On Review

I was beyond excited to receive the Mentholatum roll on for free from family rated, and I was beyond ecstatic when I opened the box to see the cutest little Teddy ever inside, but that is where the excitement ended. 

I was so disappointed with this product!! The box & applicator both said "extra strength" but I swear it had to be mislabeled, I could barely smell any menthol without shoving in up my nose. 

The product packaging boosts "no mess" and while my hands did stay clean the roll on felt really oily, when it worked. I found I had to squeeze the bottle while rolling it across my skin like crazy just to get anything to come out.

I tried this on both of my kids as well as myself and to be honest, I'd rather use Vic's & just wash my hands after application.

Dove Advanced Care Powder Soft Antiperspirant Stick

I regularly buy dove products but only when I can get them on sale. Both my daughter and myself love this antiperspirant though my daughter uses antiperspirant more than I do, I switch between deodorant and antiperspirant depending on what I am doing and where. 

I love the scent of the powder soft, it isn't overpowering like many other brands. 
Dove does have a leg up on other brands as dove always leaves my pits feeling soft and it never burns when I put it on even after I shave.

got2b Fresh It Up Tropical Boost Dry Shampoo Review

After receiving my coupon from ChickAdvisor I excitedly ran to the store to get this dry shampoo but to my disappointment it didn't work at all. I tried it on myself, my daughter and even my son. All three of us ended up with greasy, funky smelling hair. 

I tried this product a few different times with varying amount of greasiness in my hair and it didn't work. The best result I had was 24 hours between washes and the only thing this did was make my hair smell like product.

Aveeno Positively Radiant Exfoliating Body Wash Review

I made the mistake of using the Aveeno positively radiant exfoliating body wash right after I shaved my legs and wow did it hurt... 

I enjoyed the exfoliation on the rest of my body and I felt really clean when I was done. My skin looks and feels wonderful after using the positively radiant exfoliating body wash and when paired with the Aveeno positively radiant body lotion I feel like a whole new person.

I will have to remember to use the body wash before I shave my legs though lol on the plus side, while it may have hurt I didn't get any burns or redness at all so I'm really happy and will definitely be buying this again.

Aveeno Positively Radiant Body Lotion Review

I got the Aveeno positively radiant body lotion expecting it to be just like every other lotion ever and it was so much better than I expected! 

I have spent the last week in and out of doctors offices and my hands have been saved by this lotion. Normally when my hands get dried out by the sanitizer at the docs nothing works or they leave my hands feeling extremely greasy. 

The Aveeno worked wonders helping keep the moisture in without leaving my hands greasy at all. I actually enjoy using this lotion so much that I told my mother in law to get some of her own and I told my daughter the same thing lol I'm not sharing this one, it is all mine!

Neutrogena Bright Boost Collection Review

Thanks to Chick Advisor and Neutrogena I received the bright Boost collection for free to review 

I love it and hate it! The entire collection smells amazing and it does exactly what it says it does, it cleans and hydrates really well. 

My problem is, just like almost every other facial cleanser or moisturizer I have ever tried, it causes breakouts and leaves my skin feeling oily after a couple hours.

I let my daughter try everything and it works really well with her skin type, her skin feels really clean and soft and she had zero issues with her skin peeling or burning or feeling oily afterwards. 

I will be giving my daughter the collection but I will be sneaking some of the moisturizer for myself every now and then lol

The serum alone left my face feeling great and not oily at all, I didn't start running into problem until I used all four steps

As a stand alone sunblock I wouldn't choose this over my usual sunblock, however as a Moisturizer I very much enjoy using this. 

It smells great however it did leave my face feeling extremely greasy, so much so that I ended up washing it off as best I could

I discovered that I am unable to use the micro-polish, my skin started to burn and then subsequently peeled off after only a couple minutes. 

At first I thought it was just dead skin flaking off but the burning and redness afterwards proved me wrong 

I did let my daughter try and it worked really well for her despite her sensitive skin. She is now in love with the entire bright Boost line
