Now that we are changing toward gel manicures from regular polish because they last longer and wear better, a product like this really piqued my interest. While the "top coat" application process was relatively easy by topping off well-dried regular polish and curing with an LED lamp, the results were sub-par. I usually get 7-10 days of perfect wear out of my gel manicures and with this product, I had chips and peeling within a day (even worse than my regular top coat)! Ironically, when it got to the point of no return, removal was cumbersome and took forever with an acetone-based remover. Great idea, lacklustre results. -

Dry shampoo is a life saver - must have for all modern-women-on-the-go. This volumizing one from TRESemme, unfortunately didn't make the grade. I have fine, dark hair, and while there was some revival on the dry shampoo front, there wasn't much in the way of volume. I actually think this formula weighed me down a bit. -

I was stoked to try this volumizing conditioner as I have fine hair so I am always welcoming a little extra boost. I found the results were not very impressive, my hair was soft but not much in the way of noticeable volume. For the price and mediocre results, I would take a pass on this particular Nexxus product. -
Becel® Salt-Free
This is a great margarine. It tastes great, non-hydrogenated and no salt for heart health. It works like a charm in baking and cooking alike. Don't worry about fancy plant sterols as a gimmick in margarine- this one will do the trick.

I'm a big fan of this spray deodorant! It goes on cool, dries quickly, doesn't leave marks on my clothes, and best of all lasts all day. Although there is some dispersion into the air when you spray, it is minimal. A great product that is refreshing and keeps you refreshed, even with sensitive skin. -

This is a terrific, natural dry shampoo that really gets results. The nettle absorbs oil on the scalp to freshen your hair in just 2 minutes. I have fine hair and this gets me through the week with 2-3 wet washes, even with going to the gym daily. Just apply, wait 2 minutes and brush out (use a blow dryer when you brush out for extra volume). -

Finally! A sunscreen that feels light, non-greasy with high SPF that can be used every day. And it comes in a super fun mousse! I bet that kids would even have fun putting it on. This is probably my latest favourite product. The product actually delivers - it comes out as a mousse (just like for hair) and absorbs really well and quickly into the skin with a watery texture that has a truly light finish. The SPF performs well, and is water resistant so we know we have to reapply, but with this it is FUN. The price is ~$20 for a bottle and not all stores carry, it but in my view the money and the effort to find it is worth it all day long. I will never buy another sunscreen again if I can help it. Thank you, L'Oreal! -

This is a spray sunscreen that promises weightless coverage without being sticky or greasy with high SPF. The biggest downfall is the spray mechanism itself - about half the product gets aersolized into the air in fine particulates that make you cough and choke despite adequate ventilation, not to mention the waste of the product being put into the air instead of onto the skin. The feel once applied isn't too bad, and it does seem to provide sun protection if you can get enough onto your skin, but watch out as it can leave white marks on furniture and dark clothes. It is alcohol-free which is a step up from the usual spray sunscreens on texture. For nearly $20 for a bottle, this product is a good concept that was executed poorly - unfortunate! -
