I love these wipes! They are paraben and sulphates free, organic and certified vegan. I got the packs with plastic lids so that is very handy for preventing drying of the wipes which is my biggest pet peeve when it comes to wipes. Another great thing I like about them is the smell, it is the best one among all the wipes I have tried so far. They are a little bit more expensive but worth every penny! -

I tend to like switching shampoos and in my books when I keep going back to buy the same shampoo after I have already finished a bottle of the same brand means one thing - I really like it. First of all - it smells great! And most importantly, I can see my hair feeling moisturized, soft and less frizzy for sure. My hair gets wet constantly in our pool and the chlorine has made my hair very dry and straw-like. After washing it with this shampoo, I can definitely feel great improvement, my hair is smooth and soft. The only draw back is that it is a bit on the expensive side but still very much worth purchasing. -

I love this product! My eyes are very sensitive and I have tried many different products to try to find the right eye makeup remover. Some of them have caused burning of my eyes which can be very unpleasant. The Garnier Fresh Eye makeup remover is very gentle yet effective and I like the smell of grapes a lot! Feels very light on my eyes, doesn't dry the sensitive skin around the eyes and does a great job removing all my makeup. I will continue to be a fan for a long time to come! -

I actually got this initially for my fiancée, he complained of sore muscles after workouts and I went to the store to see if there is anything I can pick up that is not going to break the bank. I have heard of Dr Teal's Epsom salts but I never really knew that there are foaming baths from the same brand as well. I poured him a bath and even though he thought I went all girly on him with the bath and the bubbles, he tried it and at the end said that the bath worked magic on his achy and sore body so much so that I had trouble getting him out of the bathtub :) Needless to say, I had to try this. I am not a fan of mint flavour but the combination with eucalyptus makes the product very nice and I felt like I am in a spa. I didn't have to use a lot, which is nice change from the normal foaming baths I have used before that require half the bottle before the bathtub has enough bubbles for my liking. The whole bath felt relaxing and soothing, I couldn't ask for more. I will continue using this product and am very curious to see what other scents they have. The bonus was that even long after I had drained the bathtub, my bathroom continued to have a nice smell to it. This is great product, I will definitely buy again! -

I am in love with this product!!!
I was looking in the body wash isle and as usual was trying different sniffs of different bottles to try to find something that smells yummy. I know it might sound strange but for me if the smell of a body wash makes me want to go and grab a fruit smoothie, then I know I have a winner. When I spotted the tangerine and guava label (it is a new product for Dial), and when I opened the cap, the first thing I noticed was the super fresh and natural fruit smell. Sweet, tart and juicy! Simply delicious! Being a sucker for fruity smells, I was hooked. Needles to say my other body wash took a back seat, I really wanted to try this product. And I love it! The only way to describe the way this body wash feels on my skin is to say that it wraps around me like a silky scarf. I used just a little bit on my bath sponge and it produced a nice lather that glided on my skin. It was divine! My skin felt fresh and clean after using it. I am very happy with this product and highly recommend it to anyone who likes fruity smells and for all of you that like to pamper themselves without breaking the bank. Great buy!

I tried the Fresh start Tresemme dry shampoo before and wasn't very impressed with the results, literally a few hours after applying the dry shampoo my hair used to get really oily again. So I was a little bit sceptic when I picked this product from Winners but I was pleasantly surprised. I chose the "Diva" one and loved the smell. It was very easy to apply and after applying it in my roots, I brushed my hair for a few minutes and my hair felt light and clean again. It is a very welcome addition to my hair products for the days when I roll out of bed way too late and have to skip washing my hair. I paid $7 for it so the price wasn't bad at all. Highly recommended! -

I heard so much about BB creams and was super excited to try this one. Actually I had to keep coming back to the store as they were constantly out of the light/medium shade. I do use a couple of other Garnier products in my daily routine and even though the price for the cream was a bit on the higher side, I still paid it. I did like the smell and the texture was nice and smooth. However, the cream is way too dark for my skin, even if I love having a bit of tint on my face, this was plain and simple looking unnatural, like I had applied a spray tan on my face. I tired blending it for good 7-8 minutes and it still looked dark and orange on my skin. It was better if I mixed it with a little of my foundation but still I wasn't pleased with the results. It also felt a little greasy on my skin. It is too bad because I really was looking forward to using this product and it doesn't work for me. Perhaps, if Garnier can come up with more color choices, I might try it again. But for now, it is a no for me. -

I received Marcelle Essentials 1st Wrinkles Day Cream from the Product review club and was excited to try this out. Being in my early 30s now, I want to be proactive when it comes to the skin on my face. I don’t find too many suitable products on the market that are targeting women that are just starting to get first lines and don’t need heavy anti-wrinkle creams. So big thanks to Marcelle for coming up with this product.
There were things I liked and things that can be improved. What I liked about the cream was that it does have SPF although a little lower than I would prefer. (30 SPF level would have been ideal).
The cream is supposed to be unscented, but it had an odor I didn’t like. I do understand that because of my sensitive skin, this feature would be a bonus as it the cream is unlikely to cause irritation, however I would much rather prefer a cream with a light scent that smells well, nice
On the positive side I found that even though the cream was a little bit on the heavy side, it absorbed quite nicely and my skin didn’t feel greasy. It moisturized quite nicely and I used it as a make-up base as well. For the week, I have been using the product, it is hard for me to tell if it has any effect on fine line and first wrinkles, however I plan to use the whole jar and find out.
One thing though that is plain inconvenience (as pointed out by other reviewers) is the jar. I always have to use a little tissue to get a bit of the cream out to use but would much rather prefer a pump.
Overall, I have to say I enjoyed the way the product works and will consider buying it again after I finish the jar. The price seems reasonable for the quantity you are getting as well. I would say that a little improvement with a higher SPF and more convenient pump jar would make this products even better.

Thank you Chic Advisor for sending me Maybelline’s “The Falsies” mascara to review. Here is a summary of my experience using this product.
I know most people don’t consider the color of a packaging too much, but I personally loved it. I always carry an oversized purse and my makeup products tend to get lost inside so I found that the purple made it easier for me to locate my mascara.
I have to admit, this mascara was a little bit on the runny side that I had wished, I always had to try to remove part of the product from the brush before applying it, otherwise it resulted in clumping. I have to agree with previous reviews that in terms of smudging, the mascara was pretty good and once dry it lasted the whole day without problems. The shape of the brush was both good and bad – good because it was curved and I was able to reach all of my lashes but then again it was hard to avoid clumping unless I tried rotating the brush and applying it from different angles, which I have to admit was a hard at first but with practice it got to be better.
The mascara did magic extending the length of my lashes but did nothing for volume, unless I applied at least three coats, then it was ok. If I just left it with one coat it was ok for a minimal make-up office look but for out-on-the-town look it was definitely not enough. I actually started combining the mascara with a little mini-brush (which I use to comb my lashes) to prevent clumping. The effect was great but it is time consuming when you are trying to get ready in less than 10 min, I found that I didn’t have the time to do this routine every time I applied makeup.
Overall, I find the product average, I have used mascaras that do better job with less hassles so I would say if you are looking to extend the length of your lashes, this works great but if it is more volume and easy application you are looking for – then this product is not for you.

I was selected to review this product through the Product Review Club and was happy to try it for about 10 days. The color I received was Ivory since I use this color for my normal foundation and I found it to be a little lighter than what I would normally use. One thing I noticed was that even though the foundation label says it is perfume-free, I did find it to have a particular smell, however it didn't bother me too much. I loved the pump function; I found it to be such a nice change from my usual foundation, convenient and less messy. The words I can use to describe the feeling of applying this foundation on my face are "whipped cream" - that is because the foundation has a milky and fluffed quality about it. It was easy to apply and gave me a good coverage. The skin on my face is combination of oily spots and dry spots so I felt that the foundation gave me a nice moisturizing feeling and while it didn't feel oily it also didn't emphasize my dry patches. It never felt chalky or heavy but I found I needed an extra coverage during the night with a heavier makeup.
Overall, I think I am going to continue using Marcelle foundation as I really feel how light and breathable it feels on my skin. Great product!
