I already use the regular Nestle Gerber baby cereal for my baby so I was excited to try this Organic version. I do want to incorporate more organic food into our diet and this seemed like such a simple way. There is very little difference in the consistency and flavour to the regular baby cereals she's eaten and she was quite happy to chow this one down. There were no side effects like gassiness or stomach problems so I'm quite comfortable switching to Nestle Gerber Organic cereal for our baby and would completely recommend it to other parents as the price is comparable to other baby cereals.

After using this product for the recommended 4 weeks, I haven't noticed any significant changes to my stretch marks although the marks weren't too horrible to begin with. Maybe if the marks were a lot darker, it would have been more of a noticeable improvement. Having said that, my skin is feeling very smooth and supple so there's that. I did like that the product is fragrance free since a lot of offices and organizations now prohibit scents. So it's nice to find a natural, moisturizing product that is gentle for skin and sensitivities. It was a thicker, creamy consistency than my regular moisturizer but it applied very smoothly and absorbed well and wasn't greasy. Despite not seeing major improvements or disappearance of my stretch marks (but I don't believe there is any product on the market that can really make them disappear), I liked this product as a moisturizer and would recommend it as such.

This product came in a small tube which I much prefer over other brands that come in a jar. I feel it is a more sanitary way of distributing the product than re-dipping my fingers into a jar. It has no smell and the consistency is like a thick cream. It goes on white but after rubbing it in a bit it will clear up. It helped with minor irritations of my baby's bottom and prevented chafing against the diaper. I found this product worked very well and would recommend it to other moms who are concerned about chemicals.

This product comes in a small tube with a narrow, pointed applicator which I really liked because it prevented the cream from coming out too fast which helped the product last longer. I only needed a small dot for each eye area. I used my fingertips to dab onto the area and found the consistency a little thicker than other eye creams I used so it wasn't as fluid an application but the dabbing motion helped set it in the skin well. There was no fragrance to the product which is good for those with allergies or sensitivities and require a gentler product. The next morning, my eye area felt very moisturized and plumped even after my morning face wash. I do highly recommend this product especially to those looking for a more natural, fragrance free product. A little product goes a long way. -

The limited camp edition of Mabel's labels came with a wide variety of sizes and shapes. I was very pleased with how legible the name was and how cute the animal/style/colours I chose turned out. The stickers easily removed from their backing and could be applied easily to all types of clothing - I've put them on shirts, pants, jackets, hats, shoes. I've stuck the clothing adhesives directly on clothes as well as labels and they seem to be stuck on quite well despite me having to re-position a few of the adhesives. My daughter loves sticking her name on all sorts of her belongings - notebooks, pens, thermos. They go on easily and stick on strong - she can easily do it herself. The tags that came with this combo seem to be of higher quality than other companies I've used in the past where the chains have snapped/broke soon after using it. Hopefully these ones last longer. I am very happy with Mabel's label's products and have highly recommended it to all my friends with kids!

I received a full sized sample of this product and upon receipt, eagerly applied it to my face for testing. Using a round, fluffy brush, i fluffed it over my entire face and it applied smoothly and evenly. It considerably reduced the shiny, oily appearance of my face. I felt it was a good primer before applying the rest of my cosmetics - eyeliner, eyeshadow and blush. It did smooth out my complexion and did not make me break out (very important factor for my skin!). A really nice product overall.

I received Gosh's defining brow gel in #002 part of Chick Advisor's Product Review Club. It comes in a tube very much like a mascara tube with a wand very much like a mascara wand. I applied the gel to my brows and was pleasantly surprised by the ease of application. The gel is very translucent and thin with just enough colour to fill in bare spots. I didn't have to use much for full coverage and because the gel was so thin, any mistakes were easily wiped away. -

I am always on the lookout for a good mascara that will enhance the look of my eyes. I was very intrigued by the dual action of this mascara. It comes double-ended, with a wand on either end of the tube - one for upper lashes, one for lower. I found this mascara to be on par with other mascaras that I've used but I do like the fact that it came with a specific wand for lower lashes as those are always harder to swipe with regular wands. I like the fact that I was able to separate my lower lashes better giving me a slightly different look than my regular.

I received this product as part of Chick Advisor's Product Review Club and as it was my first time trying a lip lacquer I didn't know what to expect. Well, I was blown away. The colour I received (006 Funky Lips) was not one I would normally choose for myself. It was a bright pinky red. I but when I applied it, I discovered that I really liked this colour! It applied easily and was not at all sticky, compared to other lip glosses and lip slicks that I regularly use. After many testings, I found you can apply it heavily for a real pop of colour or sparingly (with lots of blotting) as a berry stain to the lips. I actually like the stain it leaves on my lips if I blot it with some kleenex. Then I apply just a bit of colourless gloss for shine. Overall, a fantastic product! -

Upon receiving this product, I found the directions to be very easy to follow and quickly got down to waxing my arms and bikini area. I cut all the cloth strips in half (some even in quarters) and heated up the jar for 30 sec as directed and let it cool down for a few minutes before doing a test area. The was spread easily and I found it best to use just a really thin layer as opposed to a thick one. A thin layer stripped off easier than a thick layer. The smell was yummy and any was residue on the skin washed off really easy. The hair on the arms came off more completely than the bikini area so I don't know if I'd use it on the bikini area again. Also, the directions said the cloth strips could be rinsed off and reused. I'd never attempted to do that before, but tried it this time and to my pleasant surprise, just running it under warm water rinsed off all the wax completely! My one suggestion would be to provide a couple more wooden applicator sticks just in case the one it came with broke or just for hygienic reasons. Loved this product overall and would definitely recommend it to other people!
