St. Ives® Naturally Clear Blemish Fighting Cleansing Cloths

I'm not a huge fan of cleansing cloths in general (I like a lot of water and suds when I wash my face) and I don't get breakouts anymore, so I'm not really the target market here. What I will say is that they were about what I expected from cleansing cloth made to fight blemishes. They were effective at cleaning light makeup and oil off my face while traveling, and that's really all I asked of them. I know, not all that helpful, right? I guess my disinterest is probably more with cleansing cloths in general; these were pretty much like all the rest to me. -
Simple Kind To Skin Smoothing Facial Scrub
I love all the Simple products I've tried, and the Skin Smoothing Facial Scrub was no exception. My skin felt smooth and comfortable, looked brighter as it should after a 'scrub'. I'd buy it again and I would definitely recommend it.

I was given 2 samples of Nexxus Lavish Volume Shampoo while shopping a few weeks ago, so I tried it for free for a whole week and I loved it. My hair was shiny and easy to manage and, as the name says, had lavish volume. Going back to my regular shampoo was a bit of a let down (but I have to finish off the bottle, 'cause that's just how I am!) When it's time to buy more, I will be seriously considering going with Nexxus, since I already know it does deliver what it promises. -

I tried the Adrien Gagnon Decadent Fudge Nutriforme Bars for free through Chick Advisor.
I really liked the taste, but I love all things chocolate. The texture, the taste, it's all good. It's also filling as promised and keeps me satisfied for a good while. My husband loves them and after sampling a bite of mine, chose to make this his lunch on a couple of occasions. He said they were great and he'd be happy if I bought some more.
I'm not as easily sold because I don't like that much sugar in my meals (it is a meal replacement, after all.) But eating half a bar on a busy day to carry me through til dinner, I can see myself doing that now and then. As I said, I liked the taste.

I was excited about trying Super Energex for free through Chick Advisor.
I found the taste unappealing, but I just swallowed it quickly and it really wasn't an issue. Orange juice works better than water, if you really need to mask the taste. I still have a couple and I think I might try 'hiding' them in smoothies as others have suggested.
I didn't think the price was that bad IF the product works for you.
As for effectiveness, I haven't really noticed an effect, other than the little boost I get from the caffeine (I don't consume caffeine typically, so I am a little more sensitive than most, I think.) I might not be the right 'target market' for this product because I found it to be a lot like an energy drink....I don't like or need to use those. The long-range effect (which is what I need) was imperceptible to me, but for anyone looking for an instant boost and the knowledge that they've taken their vitamins too, this product could work.

NIVEA Waterproof Eye Make-Up Remover
I found the Nivea Waterproof Eye Make-Up Remover effective and gentle on my eyes. I was able to remove all mascara and eyeliner without a lot of rubbing and tugging. The price was reasonable and I'd buy this product again.

I've fallen in love with essie! I bought one bottle (Make Some Noise) from a clearance shelf on a whim. I was amazed at how smoothly it went on and how incredibly well it wore, so I was expecting a battle when it came time to remove it ...... but it came off as effortlessly as it went on! I've bought 2 more colours since then and I love them all. Worth every penny! -

Yum!!! I really don't drink tea much anymore, but when I received a free sample of David's Blueberry Jam Black Loose Organic Tea as a bonus with a ChickAdvisor product to review, I fell in love with it. The tea it'self is delicious, no bitterness or any of the nonsense that turned me off tea in the past. And the blueberry flavour comes from actual tiny blueberries! The smell alone is heavenly. (That mug became my instant favourite as well!) -

It was so much fun opening my ChickAdvisor package and finding my free sample of Garnier SkinActive Micellar Water. I've only used one other brand of micellar water (a pricey one) and the SkinActive is actually more effective at removing makeup. It did a good job of removing my eyeliner, etc with minimal rubbing and my skin is definitely hydrated after washing! I poured some of it into an empty foaming pump bottle and found I really like using it that way for general cleansing; I used a cottonball to remove eyemakeup specifically. I would definitely buy this product again and I have already recommended it to friends. -
