Considering it's still "winter", I like the fact that it's thick but doesn't seem to sit heavily on my skin. Not sure if I'll be using in the lighter summer months. The fragrance isn't too overpowering & leaves a light scent. What I can't seem to get over is the fact that it is so white & reminds me of paint or maybe liquid paper - maybe due to the thick consistency. Other than that, it seems to moisture. -

Similar to the Lipidol Cleansing Face Oil, I did not see any benefits in using this product - no improvement in overnight rejuvenation or dry skin. I have an eczema patch on my face & though it didn't irritate it, it didn't improve it. The smell was slightly more pleasant that the cleansing oil but again the list of ingredients gave me a negative impression of the product from the start.

Similar to the Lipidol Overnight Face Oil, I was looking forward to trying something different from my regular route. Unfortunately looking at the ingredients list turned me off, as well as the product scent - isn't the rule to take products that have few ingredients & ones you can pronounce? The scent wasn't anything I could pin-point (Rosemary and Niaouli essential oils?!?) & knowing the list of ingredients was so long, I was worried about the amount of harmful chemicals I was lathering into my skin. I've tried it a few times & haven't really seen any marked difference. Unfortunately I already have adult acne & saw neither an improvement or a breakout - perhaps this is a good thing. I will pass it to a colleague. Maybe it will work better for them.

Had these at my friend's house. She made them for the kids but I think I ate more than they did - the wedges were delicious & the fact that they were already seasoned helped curb the tendency to add more. I'll be looking for them at the stores & maybe I'll buy a bag for my friend! -

I shared this product with a few friends & here are their comments, "Easy to use, but not for heavy material. I think I would buy it (vs using safety pins)". "Easy to use and to fix. I probably would have add extra (I am going to add the white "adjustable" one). Didn’t wash them but so far it is working". "In general, I found the Scotch Essentials are clean, convenient, easy to use and very effective. Even after one wash, the tape has remained intact and stable. I will most definitely be purchasing them for future use. I think they make great stocking stuffers for the coming Christmas season, too. Thanks for the opportunity to try these sample “essentials” free of charge. I can’t think of anything that has a similar versatility on the market." For myself I found more issue with the packaging than the product itself - I think 6 strips would have been more appropriate than 5 with the ability to use 1/2 portions. I noticed that the edges were sticky & stuck to the packaging, sometimes making it hard to remove from the packaging. The instructions didn't really tell you how many strips to use based on the weight of the fabric. I guess only time will tell how long they will last after several washes & if they leave any lasting damage. Thanks for the opportunity to share & review. -

Though I didn't have a button to replace, I did check it out & really like the idea of a pin with the ability to stick your button, or one provided so it has that illusion of nothing amiss until you have the ability to sew the button back on or not ;) Such a simple idea, I'm surprised nobody had thought of it previously. -

I shared the product with a friend & this is what she said ... "In terms of application, I found them to be effortless, quick and easy to adjust. It allows me to quickly adjust the length of pant legs based on the height of my heels. It sure beats threading a needle and/or time and cost of using a tailor. I also like the fact that they can be used for different items of clothing." I would like to add that the sleeve came in 5's. I think 6 would have been more appropriate with the ability to use 1/2 portions. I noticed that the edges were sticky & stuck to the packaging, sometimes making it hard to remove from the packaging. But overall I would have to agree with my friend & say it's an effective solution for something quick & easy. Unfortunately not aware of the price so can't comment. Thanks -
Christie Thinsations Oreo & Chips Ahoy
Not really anything to write home about. Guy at work brought them in to share so I can't really comment on the price. For 100 calories, okay but if you're not looking to count calories, just go with the real stuff.

General Mills Oatmeal Crisp Dark Chocolate Cranberry Flavour Cereal
I received a free product coupon. I was disappointed in the number of chocolate clusters but the ratio of cranberries to flakes was decent. The overall combination was nice. I would purchase it again if it was on sale.

I received this product for free
After the first use, I could see some skin radiance but unfortunately even though it seems to have even out the colour balance, it looks like it has enhanced my dark spots but perhaps that is only because of my pale complexion. Perhaps with continued used it will reduce the dark spots, hopefully. I did like the consistency & scent of the product. Not too overpowering in scent, without any heavy residue. I would recommend this product & perhaps the change in my complexion will encourage others to try it. Thank you for the opportunity to review this product.
