This is my favourite dry shampoo I've tried and I've tried a lot (both high end and cheaper), The scent is heavenly (and I am pregnant so I'm sensitive to scents but it doesn't bother me in the slightest), it soaks up all my oils - so much so that I can go an extra day without washing. My hair is super fine and super oily and if I use this I can go three days without washing and it still looks good. I also like this dry shampoo because it doesn't leave a gritty, dirty texture in my hair. It does leave a bit of a white cast when you spray but once you tousle your hair a bit it disapeers. It also gives great volume! There is really nothing bad about this product. Love it!
*I was sent this from Chick Advisor to test out in response for an opinion. I am being 100% honest!

I'm sick with a nasty cold right now which reminded me how much I love this stuff. My mom used to apply it to my chest when I was little and fighting a cold, and now I apply it under my nose right before bed. It really does work. It's cheap and effective. Love. -

I felt my throat getting sore this past weekend so I popped some Cold FX and continued to follow the directions on the bottle, taking 2 a day (I had extra strength). I am now getting over probably one of the worst colds I've ever had. I think this product is mind over matter, honestly, and do not believe it works at all. I think for those it works for, it's a coincidence completely. I think CBC's Marketplace did a study on these and found they did absolutely nothing as well. Just brutal how consumers (including myself) fall for this - I think everyone would love to find a cure for the common cold, but pharmaceutical companies just continue to make so much money on medicine for cold and flu, that they would never even think about trying to find a cure! Complete waste of money. -
Dove White Beauty Bar

This is the only bar soap I use, and have used for as long as I can remember. I absolutely love the scent of just the regular one - it smells so clean and fresh. It's moisturizing and the bar lasts a fairly long time. I use this every.single.day. I always get sick of products, but never this one! I've tried other bar soaps (Jergens, Olay, Zest) and none even come close to how much I love this one. I even use to it shave my legs and it leaves them silky smooth. Highly recommend. -
NIVEA Essential Lip Balm

This is a great lip balm, and I am surprised I liked this as much as I did because I am a Blistex girl hands down. But this really impressed me, and I love the sleek packaging (as I do with all Nivea products!). My husband has been using this as well - so for men looking for a lip balm that won't make your lips look glossy, has unisex packaging (I'm sure most men won't use the cute eOS balms), and moisturizes, this is a great option. It doesn't work 12 hours for me, more like 3-4 and then I have to reapply, but that's okay, I still enjoy it. *I received this complimentary as part of the PRC, but that would never compromise my honesty. -

This is a very thick cream. I always see it on the shelf but have never tried it for myself until now. I've talked to others who say their mothers and grandmothers swear by it and they have the nicest skin, so there's proof it works as well! While it does a very good job moisturizing, and I LOVE the tin, the scent is a turn-off for me. I think it's a standard Nivea scent, but I just found this too overpowering, do I dare say a little old lady-ish?. It does however work well for very dry skin that needs extra moisture. It was a little greasy for me, but I am fairly oily as it is, so someone with dry skin would likely benefit from this. The small 10ml tin was what I was sent to try through the PRC, and it's great for my purse, just wish the scent was a little less strong! Overall, a nice cream for very dry skin. -

This deodorant was nice - the scent wasn't too overpowering and was clean and fresh which is what I prefer. I like the packaging as well - I'm a sucker for packaging! It did the job as I didn't smell and didn't feel wetness in my underarms. I didn't test this for 48 hours, more like 15 hours and it seemed to do the trick - if it was super hot out I would likely reapply mid-day just for peace of mind. Overall quite nice! -

I like these wipes and I'm pretty picky about face wipes. I actually have been using them to remove my face makeup before I work out, and one wipe does the trick (although two works best). I was skeptical at first because they don't seem as moist as the Neutrogena wipes, which have always been my fave, but they did a really great job at getting most of my makeup off. I have never tried using to remove my eye makeup though as I find no wipes do the trick as I wear a ton of mascara so coconut oil is really the only thing that gets everything off. I like the scent as it's not too perfumey - just more clean-scented, and the best thing is that after I use one my skin doesn't feel dry, so I don't need to add moisturizer back to the skin. Also, on a somewhat strange note, I love the classic Nivea packaging; I really like how this brand sticks to their roots!
*I received this free to test out as part of the CA PRC, but that would never compromise my honesty!

Unfortunately I'm not a fan of the way this cleanser left my skin. Instead of feeling clean, it felt like there was a lot of residue left over, almost like a tacky film that wouldn't come off unless I scrubbed hard with a wash cloth - even then I could still feel it a little. I really wanted to like this though, because I LOVE the scent. HOWEVER - my husband LOVES it! I think it works for him because he's a one step kind of guy, meaning he just wants a quick cleanser that will not dry his face out - so this basically serves as his cleanser and moisturizer in one. He's the new owner of this since it doesn't work for me, and he really enjoys it. So for more low-key guys who have no desire to do the whole cleaning, moisturizing thing, this is great :) -
