I received a coupon to try Mott's new Mango Peach +fibre apple sauce, and while it took me a while to find it in my local stores, I'm so glad I kept searching til I did! This is a delicious flavour and just the right amount of sweetness - sort of like eating real fruit. My family loved it. Mott's Fruitsations is already a staple in our house, this new flavour is definitely going on the shopping list! -

I was pleasantly surprised by how natural this hair mascara looked. The colour was a little dark for my hair and I'm not sure if I just chose poorly or if there just weren't quite enough choices for me. In spite of that, it went on smooth and easily, it covered my greys and it didn't weigh my hair down excessively. As my hair lightens in colour, I'd like to try a shade lighter and see how that works for me. Could be a great way to ease into grey hair and still be able to cover it a little for those times when I just don't want to show my age! ;) -

I got the Listerine Total Care floss as part of a goody bag at my last dental checkup and I fell in love with it. It's kind of stretchy, so it doesn't break and it fits between my tight teeth and works very effectively between my more gappy teeth. I used to have to double up floss to clean there, but not with this one. Plus, it's not slippery, so I can grip it even with a short piece of floss. I use WAY less floss with this product and that's better for my budget and for the environment - win/win! Also, the texture is super effective at getting the plaque off with less effort. It's my new favourite and I recommend it highly and without reservation. -

MOTT'S FRUITSATIONS +FIBRE RASPBERRY was absolutely delishious. My family loves fruitsations to begin with, and this one was no exception. In fact, rapberry may well be our favourite ever. And I love the added fibre. The texture is great, the flavour is great, no down side to this one! -

Though the tropical fruit was not our favourite flavour, the Mott's Fruitsations +Fibre treats were still a thumbs-up in my house. I've tried store brands similar to this and they just end up sitting on the shelf because the taste/texture is just not right. Mott's gets it right every time and I'll be buying these again. I love the extra fibre hidden in a snack that my family can really enjoy. -

A friend gave me this hair mousse because, quite frankly, she didn't need hair thickening products and it was too much body for her. For me, however, this stuff works like magic!
I have never found any stickiness from it and it doesn't leave any flakes or residue. There is no scent, which I love. My hair is just fuller and livlier with no downsides that I have found. It works great when I just let my hair air dry and then put in the hot roller or if I blow dry and style right away. I will definitely buy this again, it's worth the price.

I received my free SCHWARZKOPF ROOT RETOUCHER very late in the trial so I appologize for posting my review so late.
What I loved about it - the colour matched and blended with my hair really well. No scent. Wipes off skin and bathroom vanity very easily if you catch it quickly.
What I didn't love about it - it didn't stay on my hair, just my scalp!
When I first sprayed it on, it looked great, I just wiped the excess spray off my face very easily with a damp cloth. But the moment I touched my hair to get to more roots, the colour came right off the grey roots but the spray on my scalp stayed nice and brown, making the grey even more noticeable!
This product just isn't for me, but I think for someone who has thicker hair and a hairstyle that necessitates covering roots maybe just down the centre part, it could be great. Also, I don't know if the grey no-stick issue is just my hair or maybe it just doesn't stick to grey, I don't know. I'm really sad to say this product just didn't work for me.
(I can't post a picture because the results were just unphotographable!)

I found these dryer balls at London Drugs for around $15 for a 3pack (which was the best price I've seen so far.) Took a chance and I am so glad I did. Dryer balls do everything they say, shorten drying time, fluff and separate laundry (less bunching and wrinkling, I've found), and all without adding any nasty chemicals to your clothes. My towels have never been so soft! They say they will last for up to 3 years but I can't testify to that yet since I've only been using them for about a month so far. Of all the 'green' switches I have made over the years, this one is the one that delivers on every level with absolutely no compromises or drawbacks. Best idea ever, and Gleener has made them affordable. -

I am SO grateful that I was selected to try the Rubbermaid FreshWorks Produce Saver through ChickAdvisor! To be honest, I probably would never have tried this product otherwise because of the price. I mean, on the shelf it just looks like a really over-priced plastic container - but it's NOT!
I picked up my container and brought it home in the same trip where I bought some fresh strawberries that looked like they would be lucky to last the day (ripe and warm) - the perfect test. I ate a couple berries and put the rest in the FreshWorks container in the fridge and promptly forgot about them for 3 days. Amazingly, every single berry was still eatable when I went back for them. In fact, they seemed even nicer than the first day!I
I made myself leave some of the berries in the container and waited another few days -- STILL fresh and unchanged!!
Today has been 8 days and those last berries are still good - but I'm eating them anyway because this is getting ridiculous!
I'm heading to the grocery store this week to buy another larger container (or two) because my fridge always has tons of produce and way too much of it ends up in the compost due to spoilage from humidity. I think that the savings in food waste over a month will offset the price of the containers, easily!

I tried Mott's Mr & Mrs T Blue Raspberry Martini Cocktail Mix free from ChickAdvisor in return for an honest review....I can honestly say I loved it! I mixed it according to the simple instructions on the bottle (with vodka) and it was super yummy. The slightly tart raspberry flavour is perfectly balanced with the sugars, and the blue colour looks impressive in the glass, even if you don't dress it up. I did, though, with a sugared rim and fresh raspberries on a cocktail pick. I'm really looking forward to trying it in some of the recipes from the booklet that came with the coupons. Such a quick and easy way to make really impressive cocktails for friends (which we did) and just as simple to make them alcohol free for kids or non-drinkers (which is something we always have to consider at parties). These cocktail mixes have been one of the funnest review club scores yet! And the price is very reasonable, so the fun has only begun!
