I have been using this product for a couple of weeks. The product has a nice creamy texture. It is thick but was easy to work into my hair. It does have a light, fresh scent. I noticed a significant improvement to the moisture level of my hair after one use. I really liked that it did not weigh down my hair fine hair as many similar products on the market do. I would recommend this product to my friends and family.

I have been using this product for a couple of weeks. The product feels creamy and has a light, fresh scent. I've found that the scent disappears from your hair after drying. It lathers nicely and doesn't leave a residue in your hair. My hair felt thicker and smoother after a few uses. Alone I didn't see a difference in moisture level but combined with the L'oreal Professional Intense Repair Masque, my hair was much less dry. I would recommend this product and I feel that it's performance is highly competitive with other similar products on the market.

I received this product through the ChickAdvisor review club.
The first thing I noticed upon application was the refreshing, cool feeling. It felt amazing especially on warm days (and can be quite tempting to apply again and again, as others have mentioned). Actually, it reminded me exactly of the cold stones sometimes used during a spa facial. Applying the rollerball is almost therapeutic and very relaxing. It has a nice light scent, which is pleasant and not overpowering. It wasn't sticky or greasy at all and I was able to apply my undereye concealer over it. I didn't notice a huge difference in puffiness, but I think my eyes looked a bit brighter after application...and this product did not irritate my sensitive eyes. The packaging is nice and easy to throw in a purse. Overall, it's probably not a necessity but if you have some extra $$, it is definitely a nice treat!

Physician's Formula Bronze Booster

This product made me go from an anti-bronzer gal to never-leave-home-without-it. For some background info, I am uber pale with sensitive skin and every other bronzer I have tried has made me orange, muddy looking, or spotty. I purchased this product in light to medium.
It is a tad pricey for a drugstore product but considering it's high end quality, it is well worth it and I would definitely repurchase again and again. It looks a bit shimmery in the container but applies fairly matte ( for no chunky glitter!) It applies evenly, even for someone with little bronzer experience and is quite buildable. The thing I love most is how natural looking it is! My friends have commented on my tan, sun kissed look (normally I just get red and freckled in the sun, so looking a bit tan is new for me).
As for the packing, it's a little bulkier than it needs to be but I can live with it. It's very durable and has held up against several falls and banging around in my purse, and I love that it includes a mirror. I don't use the brush that it comes with.
As a bonus, Physicians Formula is known to be eco-friendly and against animal cruelty, as well as paraben free. Overall, great product and highly recommended.

One thing I'll say about this mascara is that it really gives amazing length and doesn't smudge. However, the con's outweighed the pro's for this one. Within two weeks it was so clumpy I could barely apply it and it irritated my eyes. I initially thought the idea of being able to remove it with just warm water was great, but I found that it took a lot of scrubbing/pulling at my eyes to get all the tubes off. This one just wasn't for me. -

Overall, I'm definitely satisfied with this product. My favourite thing about it is that it perfectly matches my very pale skin- while most TM's are too dark or turn orange. It's lightweight, has spf, gives a dewy finish. I've used the whole tube of it I liked it so much! The worst thing about it is that I can't find it in Canada- which is the only thing stopping me from repurchasing. Also it wears off quickly unless set with powder and has next to no coverage, but what do you expect from a TM? -

Thanks ChickAdvisor and Maybelline for offering this mascara to the Product Review Club! I've been using it for a little over a week now, and I'm completely hooked. I have to say this product isn't something I would have purchased on my own- when I heard the name "The Falsies" I pictured a tacky, goo-ey mess. I'm so glad I had the opportunity to try this because I couldn't have been more wrong.
It creates very black, lengthened, and defined lashes. The curved brush makes it easy to apply. This is now my staple mascara for going out. I think it actually creates tooo much eyelash for wearing to work (if that's possible!). I've recommended this to a friend who usually goes for more high end mascaras- she's already bought her own "The Falsies" mascara in the brown-black and loves it. Oh, and my favorite part- no black under my eyes at the end of the night! It has great staying power, but easily removes with my nivea eye makeup remover wipes.

Thanks to Breyers & The product review club for sending a free coupon my way to try this ice cream! I would definately consider myself an ice cream addict, so I like the idea of an ice cream that is 1/2 the fat.
I chose the Creamy Chocolate flavor. I found it impossible to tell it was only half the fat. Breyers did not compromise on taste! I loved how it melts in your mouth and you can stir it up to taste just like soft ice cream. It was very creamy and has an appealing texture. My family tried it as well and everyone was very satisfied. Love it!
The only thing would stop me from purchasing this next time I have an ice cream craving is the price. At 8.69 it is over double what I would usually pay for ice cream. Maybe for an occasional treat I will pick this up again but it is hard to justify spending that much money on a tub of ice cream when there are so many cheaper alternatives, even if it is delicious!

I am so impressed with this product! I picked it up at Walmart for only $4.99 CND. It applies smoothly using only your fingers, sometimes I will use a sponge. It has SPF 15 and really evens your skin tone. I think this has more coverage than most tinted moisturizers, but still feels very light on your skin. I would recommed still using your regular moisturizer under this if your skin is dry. It lasts most of the day, sometimes I need to touch up but for the price it's well worth it. I like this much better than any high end TM's I have tried and the color match is perfect for my fair skin (I purchased in Natural). It says the color is supposed to adjust to your skin tone. It has a lovely dewy finish.
The only con is that it does contain Talc, but so far it hasn't broken me out and my skin is pretty sensitive.
If you get a chance, definately try this one out!

This is a lovely product. I had used the same cleanser for years with no problems, and suddenly my skin started breaking out and becoming very sensitive. I then tried numerous complicated skin regimes to try to get my clear skin back. Finally I decided to try the less-is-more strategy. I bought Cetaphil and used only this morning and night, followed by the Cetaphil moisturizer. In a couple weeks my skin was better than ever. Lately I haven't even felt the need to wear foundation on a daily basis because my skin is so radiant and clear.
The only con I should add is- If you wear a lot of makeup, I'd use a makeup cleansing cloth to remove the majority of your makeup first and then wash your face with Cetaphil. It is a very gentle product and probably wouldn't remove your makeup fully if you have a lot on.
