I got this in my Chick Advisor test pack and it arrived at the perfect time. I had been struggling with dry lips for almost a week and had been using a different product, which I want to love - but it just wasn't doing the job :( I applied Nivea Essential Lip Balm before heading out for a shopping trip and immediately noticed it was working better than my week-long use of something else.
I find this product a bit waxier than what I typically use, but maybe that's why it works better. My only real complaint is the taste. I wasn't intending to get it in my mouth, but at some point after applying it, I got a taste of it and ugh :( Not the worst, but not great. Since it's not intended for use inside your mouth, I think in the future I would just be more careful about application to ensure I don't get any in my mouth. This would not deter me from buying this product in the future. Worked really well, otherwise.

I used this as soon as I got it out of my Chick Advisor tester pack. I loved the consistency of this product -- not too runny that it would run off my face as soon as I applied some water, and not too thick so that it would clog up my pores. As with all Nivea products, I like the scent. It left my skin feeling really clean, and not tight like some cleansers do. I have combination skin, so I have some trouble finding products that don't cause that problem. I used it morning and night and had great results. Clean, clear skin! Great product :) -

I wanted so badly to love this product! I liked the packaging, the smell was nice. It applied really smoothly and didn't cause any irritation to my skin. When I first put it on, I thought, "This is great! I'm going to love this!" I went grocery shopping and came home -- checked to see how it was working, :( Not working. In its defense, there is currently only one antiperspirant that I can use which actually works for me. I've tried many over the years and unfortunately, this one, like those, leaves me smelly :( I think this would probably be a great product for the average user and I hate giving it a negative review. This is very much a case of, "it's not you, it's me". -
Farmers Birthday Cake Ice Cream
I got this on sale and used a coupon, so it was only $0.49, but it's usually around $5.99 I think. I wasn't sure what to expect. I don't usually buy foods that are electric blue, but since it was such a great deal and only part of it was blue... +
I got this on sale and used a coupon, so it was only $0.49, but it's usually around $5.99 I think.
I wasn't sure what to expect. I don't usually buy foods that are electric blue, but since it was such a great deal and only part of it was blue (the ribbon of frosting throughout the ice cream), I figured, why not?
I was a bit surprised by the flavour of the ice cream itself. It really did remind me of a vanilla cake, and maybe the sprinkles were what made it more convincing. It wasn't just like vanilla ice cream, but it almost felt crumby (like cake) -- so the texture was okay. Too many sprinkles for me (and I like sprinkles), but some people would love it. I can see how this would be a hit with kids.

Farmers Coconut Macaroon Ice Cream
I had a coupon for this product, so decided to try it. I think it's regularly around $5.99 and it was on sale for $2.49 and I had a $2 coupon ... so who wouldn't try ice cream for $0.49? Anyway, this had a really good flavour. If you're looking... +

Anyway, this had a really good flavour. If you're looking for a super sweet macaroon taste, this isn't it. The sweetness is more subtle and the coconut throughout the ice cream was just the right amount. I would have liked more chocolate in it (who wouldn't?), but that's easily rectified with a little bit of chocolate sauce. I will definitely be buying this one again, with or without a coupon.

I got these as a sample when I bought a box of regular Q-Tips. I used them for make up and found they worked really well. I don't use eye liner but do line my lids with eye shadow. These precision tips worked well for that.
I also tried them while crafting :) I'm a scrapbooker and they worked well with my chalks and with my inks.
They're a little pricey for me. I'm pretty frugal so loved the trial pack but probably wouldn't buy them at full price.

My daughter nursed as long as possible but when I went back to work, we had to switch her to formula. We tried a couple different kinds and this was the ONLY one she'd take willingly. It had a good consistency to it, didn't have a weird smell which I found some other formulas did, and overall was a great choice for her. I always recommended this to other new mothers!

Of all the diaper rash creams that I have tried, this one by far, beats the rest. My daughter (fortunately) doesn't need this type of product often, but this is hands down my favourite. It provides protection for her delicate skin but isn't so cakey and thick that when it comes time to clean her that I have to scrub hard. It doesn't stain fabrics and doesn't have a strong smell. I have recommended this to new mothers left and right. Totally worth the money and works everytime! -

I buy these for my daughter. She's a great eater, but sometimes, I need to be able to give her something that's not junk but still very portable (and that I can safely leave in my purse at all times). She loves these! AND I've also used them when making cookies for her. Easy way to get more fruits and veggies in! -

I LOVE these :) Eating them as I type.
They're not too spicy and just cheesy enough to be perfect! I love really spicy food but my husband doesn't, so these are a pretty safe bet at our house. I'm finding it more and more difficult to find them, so I'm hoping that they're still going to be available!
