I buy this products again and again -it always makes my hair feel soft and silky, and moisturized without making it oily or heavy.
It's hands down my favourite shampoo, and smells amazing. It retails anywhere from $20-$25 in salons and drugstores for the large bottles, but can often be found at discount stores for $9-15 like Winner's and Marhsall's in Canada, and Khols and Marshall's, in the US. Totally worth the price because it lasts a long time and you don't need as much as other brands.

I received it in a goodie bag from an event, and absolutely love it!
I started to notice my hair was getting really damaged from repeated hot styling tools over the years, and getting worse as I get older and my hair changes and starting to get some grey hair. I wanted a solution that tamed my unruly frizzy hair (curly in some spots, wavy in others, and complete frizz too). When diluted a bit, this creates natural looking beachy waves, without major frizz, oiliness, or making it crunchy looking/feeling. Watering it down [with distilled water] also makes the product last much longer as the price is a bit steep for a drug store product.
It smells great too, as long as you like coconut. Even though the bottle suggests it's a product geared for blonds, you can use it on any hair color -my hair is a medium auburn and always gives me soft waves pretty waves with no added weight.

I bought this product when my usual go-to body wash (Dove sensitive) was out of stock in my local store, and I've permanently switched to the Nivea.
Like many people my skin gets extremely dry and itchy during the winter months; I often experience scaly eczema patches as well. This product has made a noticeable difference in my skin this year, and the smell is so clean and soothing. I really can't express how much I love this body wash -even my husband switched.

This is my favorite go-to product for over-the-counter external treatments for sore/painful muscles and spasms. It starts working within seconds of application to alleviate my tense neck/back muscles. I prefer it to many of the other creams and gels on the market because it works better than any I've tried.
The only issue for me is it has a very strong odor -mint and medication mixed together, and the smell lingers until you wash it off the effected area. There are unscented versions of this product but none are as strong or effective as the scented versions. I recommend wearing disposable [vinyl/latex] gloves during application -especially if you fail to wash the product off completely before using the washroom afterwards!

I have suffered from allergies, sinusitis, and sinus migraines for most of my life, so I was excited for this product as an alternative to oral/internal medicines to alleviate my symptoms.
I was also excited for the hands free aspect of this product, since it's normally messy to apply any type of mentholatum product, the clean-up is greasy, and the smell stays on your hands for hours afterward. The roll on aspect is good BUT the product is sometimes difficult to dispense, requiring the user to squeeze the bottle or lay down in order to apply a sufficient amount to the skin.
The consistency is still a bit thick and greasy, which means it doesn't absorb into the skin when applying to the face, leaving a thin layer of 'greasy' shine visible, unless you rub it into the skin with your hands which negates the best feature: hands-free.
I also find that this product isn't extra strength as promised; Vicks and other store brand vapor rubs are usually stronger than this product, which means it doesn't work for more than an hour or so, and needs to be reapplied much more often than traditional vapor rub. When reapplying, I usually have to remove some of the residual [greasy] product leftover on my skin from the previous applications otherwise the reapplication isn't as strong or effective.
Overall, I would recommend this product to traditional Vicks/vapor rubs when I need to alleviate sinus congestion BUT I am still looking for an alternative that is stronger/requires less applications, and is easier to apply without clogging or forcing the product out by force.

I have been using Nice N Easy for a couple of years now, and have had generally positive experiences so far -the colors are fairly accurate to the box (except for some of the more copper-reds), and the grey coverage is as promised.
The formula used to be more of a liquid mix but this new formula is more of a cream, and is less drippy and a bit easier to apply; it also has much less of a chemical odor, with a light floral scent.
I was a bit worried at first during the application process, as it didn't resemble the usual reddish brown color after activating the color at all. I thought perhaps I'd missed a step and mixed the tubes incorrectly because it starts out a light cream color, and turned into a dark indigo-violet color after some activation time has passed; it didn't resemble the usual reddish brown color after activating the color at all.
All in all, I like the new formula better than the old. The only downside of the new formula's creamy consistency is that if you were trying to get more than one use out of a single box (for a root touch-up, or super short hair) it would be more difficult to get the mixture ratio correct.
