I received this cake for free as part of the ChickAdvisor Product Review club. It was fantastic! So easy to order online and pick up in store. The only suggestion I would offer is for the website - you could choose between an 8 inch or a 10 inch cake, and it would be nice to know how many people each size would accommodate (kind of like when you order a pizza, and they tell you how many slices is in each size). I'm really pleased with the DQ Cake, and will definitely order one again. -
Dove White Beauty Bar
I received this soap as part of the Chick Advisor Product Review Club. I love the way it smells, and it is quite moisturizing for a bar soap (as opposed to a cream wash). It's great value, and I would definitely pick this over other bar soaps.

I have long, thick, color-treated hair, and living in Canada, it gets really dry and gross in the winter. I've used other hair masques before, but they leave my hair feeling greasy and limp. This hair masque is amazing. So moisturizing, but it doesn't leave a residue on your hair - it rinses clean.
After one use, my hair felt so soft. And after a couple weeks of using it, my hair actually seems healthier.
I received this for free through the Product Review Club, but I will definitely be buying more when I run out. So worth it.

This shampoo is great. It is really moisturizing, but rinses clean, without leaving an icky residue. It doesn't have a fancy smell, but I don't care about that. I want the shampoo to wash my hair, not stink up the bathroom! It doesn't smell bad, it's just not heavily perfumed like other premium shampoos I've used in the past.
I received the shampoo for free as part of the Product Review Club, but I think I would pay $30 to buy it in a salon. Sometimes you get what you pay for.

This toothbrush is amazing!
I received it through the ChickAdvisor Product Review Club. I've never used an electronic toothbrush before, and now I see what all the fuss is about. Using this toothbrush for regular brushings makes you feel like you just got a professional cleaning at the dentist's. My teeth have never felt so clean with a normal toothbrush. I think they look whiter too, since they're so clean.
I also really like how small this toothbrush is. It doesn't take up much space on my bathroom vanity. It would also be really good for travel.
I got this toothbrush for free, but I would pay for one in the future. It's really worth the money.

Huggies Little Swimmers Disposable Swimpants
These swim diapers are the best. I love how they don't get all soggy and heavy, and they fit well under my daughter's bathing suit. Easy to remove too - so handy. A must for your beach or pool bag!

I was sent bottles of the Aquafina Plus Vitamin water to test as part of the Product Review Club. I received 3 flavours - Strawberry Lemonade, Fuji Apple Pear, and Black/Blueberry. I really liked all three flavours, and was overall quite impressed with the product.
I usually don't like drinks with artificial sweeteners, but these drinks have stevia (natural) as a sweetener, not aspartame or another artificial sweetener. The drinks are also enhanced with vitamins, so they give you a nice kick of energy, without a lot of calories or sugar/carbohydrates.
My only issue with the Aquafina Plus Vitamin enhanced water is the size of the bottles! At almost 600 mL per bottle, that's a lot of drink. I found I put one in my purse to sip on while out running errands, but it was heavy, and took me forever to drink that much liquid. If the bottles were available in a smaller size, I'd definitely get a smaller one.

This is a great sunscreen. I was a bit confused at first - I thought it was a sunscreen/moisturizer. So I put it on every morning for a week after washing my face. But then I realized, this technically isn't a moisturizer... but it didn't matter, because it works well as both.
The best thing about this sunscreen is how light and non-oily it is. It absorbs quickly, and then is dry - not greasy. You could easily use this product and then layer makeup on top.
For the summer months, I'm going to use this every day instead of moisturizer. In the winter, I'll probably switch back to my regular moisturizer when my dry skin needs an extra boost.

I tried the Mocha Fudge Brownie flavour of the Breyers Smooth & Dreamy Ice Cream. It was really good. Very very rich and creamy - honestly, you would not know that this is the low fat version of the ice cream! The mocha flavour was nice, and the fudge is very decadent. You only need a little bit of this ice cream to feel like you've had a treat. It's comparable to gourmet brands like Hagen Daas.
The only downside is the price - at Loblaws, it's $7.99. That's not as much as Hagen Daas, but still, that's a fair bit to pay for a tub of ice cream. If I was feeling like a splurge, I would buy it again.

I received this anti-perspirant as part of the Chick Advisor Product Review Club. It's a great product - I'm very pleased with it. I usually use another Dove anti-perspirant, but this one smells better, and has a lower aluminum content, which is good. This product is supposed to make your skin less irritated and less stubbly than other anti-perspirants. The product definitely didn't irritate my skin, but I don't know if it made it less stubbly. I really didn't notice a difference in that department.
When I run out of this one, I'll definitely buy more. This is a good product.
