I received an awesome Vichy box (including three products) as part of the product review club. I must admit, that of all three skin care products I tried, this was my least favorite. Although I recorded the sensitive skin lineup of products, this solution still seemed to leave a slight burning sensation, not enough to discontinue use, but enough to cause discomfort. I also experienced more breakouts during the use of this product. I first it did not do a great job cleansing my skin. My skin also felt a little dried out, until I applied the awesome Vichy Day Care Moisturizer that I had also received (I gave a glowing review of the product!). Unfortunately I don't think I would purchase this cleanser again. -

I received this product as part of the Product Review Club. When I first opened the packaging I was surprised at how the applicator looked. It is an inch long, flat, rubbery applicator that reminded me of a beavers tail. There is a small hole in one of the sides where the tofu get comes through. I must admit I wash waiting at first, but I ended up living the application! The specialized applicator prevents wasted product and helps guide and smooth the eye cream into all fine lines and creases. Over the course of a few weeks I was able to see a difference! The product itself has a slight tiny to it and blend well into natural skin tones. I most definetly will purchase this product! -

Upon receiving this product as part of the Product Review Club I was impressed with the sleek packaging. I know you shouldn't judge a book by its cover, but the product packaging definetly gave me a good first impression. The first morning I used the Day Care moisturizer I noticed a difference in the way it left my skin feeling. It is a light weight product that smooths and softens the skin with one application. My skin felt soft and it was light enough to use under my regular cosmetic routine. I have sensitive skin and this product was gentle and did not cause any sort of skin reaction or discomfort. I have since priced out this product at various locations and plan on exploring other products in the Vichy line! -

I must say that I was excited about trying this product... I was hopefull that it would leave a nice, light and airbrushed look....However, I was VERY disappointed and will not be purchasing or recommending this foundation in the future.
This foundation was very hard to apply. It came out of the container like hair mouse, and at times would shoot all over the bathroom. A large "blob" of mouse would be on my finger tips, again, much like hair mouse. I then struggled to apply the product evenly on my skin.
Big dissapointment.

I received this product as part of the product review club and am certainly glad that I did!! I am currently struggling with getting our fourth child trained through the night. I have found in the past with my other children, once they get use to a "pull up" through the night, it is really hard to break that dependance...especially if they still "dribble" during the night.
The GoodNites Disposable Bed Mat is a great option! My little one definetly felt like a "big boy" wearing his own underwear to bed that night. The mat had great sticking power and did not shift and move and was a good size.
I would greatly recommend this option for those parent working to train their children through the night.

I received this product as part of the Product Review Club and must say that I had mixed feelings about the Dove Original Beauty Cream Bar. On a positive note, I found the bar to create a creamy and luxurious lather. The thick and rich suds left my skin feeling very soft and moisturized. However, I found the scent to be WAY overpowering and a little hard on my nose. As soon as I opened the box, I could not get the scent out of my nose...it seems to linger in the air. I would recommend this product for it's moisturing properties, but I would probably recomend unscented or a different scent, other than original. -

As a mother of 4 kids, my mini van always has a certain "scent". Therefore, I'm always on the hunt for the next great deoterizer and air freshener. I was extrememly excited to receive this product as part of the Product Review Club. After taking it out of the package, I was blown away with the awesome scent... the linen and sky was fresh and bright.
Unfortunately, after trying this vent clip for the past week and a half, I am slightly disappointed. I thought the scent had very little staying power and would only put out a consistent scent when I had my vents on; which in the middle of winter is not very often, as we most often use the defrost settings. Every once in a while I would get a wiff of the brilliantly clean scent, but it would soon dissipate. I also found that the vent clip did not securely fasten to the vent in my van, it was wiggley and loose and hard to position. It was also hard to set the strength of the scent...the little switch at the bottom was easily bumped out of position, therefore decreasing my desired scent strength.
I probably won't recommend this product, and I'm pretty confident that I won't purchase it again. Although I really enjoyed the actual scent, I found it too hard to maintain a consisent and adequate scent.

I LOVE, LOVE, LOVED this product. I was fortunate enough to be choosen as part of the Product Review Club and can't say thank you enough! I struggle with dry, frizzy, fly away hair in the winter months and in the course of one week of using this product, I was able to see visible changes in my hair. Once I received this product I used it every day. The repair masque is thick and creamy and completely coats the hair. A slight lather is created and the product did not drip away from my wet hair. I left the masque on my hair for apx. 5 minutes and then rinsed it away. My hair actually felt like it was stronger and more resilent. It was soft, silky and incredible easy to comb through.
I used this product on my 6 year daughter who has very fine hair that tangles and matts very easily. I was so impressed at how this product helped to strengthen her hair. Her hair felt thicker and had less tangles. There were no tears when we were combing through her hair...just another added bonus!!
I would definelty recommend this product and I will most likely continue to use this product on a regular basis. However, I will probably only use it every week or so - due to the higher price point.

I received this product as part of the Product Reviewers Club. At first, I was a little shocked at how small the bottles were...I was expecting a regular size bottle. However, they say that good things come in small packages and I feel that slogan works in this instance.
My short, colored hair is usually dry and uncontrolable in the winter months. I often come home from work looking disasterous! I used this product for a week and was surprised at the results. My hair held well throughout the day and did not have as much "fly away" stray pieces as normal. I also found that I could go a day inbetween washes and my hair still had that fresh, just washed look. It added more body and an extra shine. I also used it on my daughters hair. She is 6 years old and still has fine, tangley hair that matts in the back. After using this product it was much easier to proceed with conditioner. The results on her were extremely noticalbe when it came time to comb her hair.
The smell is not overpowering, fruity or intense. It is a soft, subtle, almost non existent smell. The lather created is thick and rich. I definetly enjoyed trying this product.
For the price of this product (apx. $30.00) I would recommend it as a once a week treatment and not for everyday use. My budget could not handle the price of this product as an everyday habit:)

Recently my husband and I made the switch from preground coffee to purchasing beans and grinding them ourselves. As we have experimented with various types of beans and brands, we have come to discover the many blends offered by Kicking Horse Coffee. As mentioned in the previous review, it is a Free Trade, Certified Organic coffee that is roasted in Canada!!
They offer various blends and roasts with fabulously creative names: ex. 454 Horsepower, Grizzly Claw, Bugaboo, Cliff Hanger Espresso!! Upon opening the bag, the most delightful smell will engulf your senses!! The beans themselves are shiny and perfect and the brew even better. Smooth and not bitter, each blend offeres a distinct and most enjoyable cup of coffee.
We often holiday near the Kicking Horse facility in Invermere, BC and are actually going to stop in next time we are in the area. Greatly recommend this awesome coffee company!!
