I received this moisturizer as part of the Chick Advisor Product Review Club. I have normal-to-dry skin that's a bit sensitive. My skin gets really dry in the winter, but I don't always use moisturizer - mostly because I'm lazy, and also because I hate using moisturizer that takes forever to dry. I want to get out of the shower and get dressed - I hate waiting for products to soak in.
I was really pleased with the Vaseline Sheer Infusion moisturizer. I put it on my arms and legs, and it soaked in right away. But it actually did it's job too - it is a good moisturizer. My skin feels smooth and hydrated, but not sticky or damp. I can put this on right after showering, and then put on jeans and a sweater, and not feel all sticky and gross.
The product is lightly scented, which is nice. It's not overpowering, and within a few minutes, the scent is gone completely (doesn't linger on my skin).
I really like this moisturizer and I will definitely buy it again.

I was sent this product as part of the ChickAdvisor Product Review Club. I've never tried an eye cream before, so I didn't know what to expect.
After using the product for a week, I really didn't notice a change in the wrinkles around my eyes. But, the skin was more moisturized, so that's a bonus. I usually have pretty sensitive skin, and this product didn't bother me at all. So that's good too.
Overall, it's a good product that moisturizes well, and doesn't upset sensitive skin. But I'm not sure if it really works on wrinkles or not.

This is a great moisturizing body wash. It smells really nice, and is really really moisturizing. But it doesn't leave a weird film or anything - it washes away clean. After a few days of using it, I noticed that my skin was softer. In the summer, this would be enough for daily use without needing a moisturizer afterwards. In winter, I'd probably still use a moisturizer after.
I like that this product is a good cleaner, and a good moisturizer, and it rinses away. No weird residue or sparkle or anything left over. I will definitely use this moisturizing body wash again!

Breyers Creamery Style Dark Chocolate Velvet Frozen Dessert
This ice cream was delicious. Very very smooth and chocolaty. Very rich. Comparable to Ben & Jerry's or Haagen Daaz - it's that good. Excellent for a chocolate craving!

This ice cream was pretty good. I'll say up front that I don't really like Banana Cream Pie, so I wasn't the best candidate for this flavour (I was sent the ice cream as part of the Product Review Club). The Banana wasn't overwhelming, but it's still not my favourite. I'm much more of a chocolate ice cream kind of gal. -

This ice cream was just okay - in comparison to the other Double Churn ice creams. The cheesecake thing didn't really taste like cheesecake, but it didn't really taste like ice cream either - hard to describe. If I'm having a craving for actual chocolate cheesecake, I want something really decadent, and this just wasn't it. -

This is a great foundation. It was a bit difficult to match to my skin tone, so I chose a shade a little bit darker than my normal skin colour. It will work perfectly in the summer when I'm just a little bit more tan!
This foundation applies really easily - I love the pump. No mess. It goes on really smooth - almost more like powder than liquid. It feels really silky and smooth, and has a nice finish. Once applied, it really did a good job evening out my skin tone, and made my skin look soft and powdery (but not too cakey or mask-like).
After applying, I didn't notice I was wearing the foundation. It lasted for hours, and I didn't need to add powder later to cover up oil or shine.
This is a great foundation for people that hate feeling like they're wearing makeup - it's very light, but effective.

Nestlé NOIR Mousse Delicate Milk Chocolate

The packaging is quite attractive and makes the chocolate special - this would be a nice gift for a stocking stuffer.
The price is a bit high, but there are 10 pieces, and I couldn't eat more than 3 in one sitting - lots to save for later. So overall, I think it's good value for the price. And because the packaging is so nice, it really seems like a treat.
Even though this is a milk chocolate, there is a bit of dark chocolate in the centre, but it's still really yummy.
I really enjoyed this chocolate, and would definitely recommend it.

These wipes are very good at cleaning - bathroom, countertops, etc. I even used them on some old dirty patio furniture, and they worked very well.
The packaging is very attractive, and the wipe dispenser is really handy - just grab a wipe and go. Just like baby wipes.
BUT - it smells like chemicals. And there are a lot of chemicals listed on the container. I'd be weary of using these on anything in the kitchen where food could touch. I usually use Method brand, which is priced well, attractively packaged, handy, and doesn't contain harsh chemicals (and smells divine).
I liked these Clorox Wipes for their effectiveness, but because of all the chemicals, I think I'll stick with Method.

Like everyone else, I got this mascara as part of the Product Review Club. Also like everyone else, I love the packaging.
But the mascara itself is just okay. Not bad, but not amazing. The first time I used it, I applied two coats (the packaging recommends multiple applications). I won't do that again - it was so clumpy. The next few times I used it, I only put on one coat, and it wasn't clumpy at all. The wand does a good job of separating the lashes. But I found it didn't make my lashes any fuller.
