As I received this as a "product review" I have no idea what the price was- but based on the small size I imagine it isn't cheap. I use salon products normally as I do notice they make a difference but was a bit weary as to whether L'Oreal could compete. And they can! This product, used with the L'Oreal Professionnel Intense Repair Masque, really made a difference! Easy to use (and I had to travel over the last week - so easy to travel with also due to the size), nice light scent, and thick creamy texture were the first things I noticed. I have thicker dry hair and always have issues with frizz. I immediately noticed a resulting smooth texture, less frizziness and softer texture after my initial use of this product along with the accompanying masque. I would definitely consider purchasing this and highly recommend it!

I was very excited to be chosen to review the Oral-B Pulsonic Power Toothbrush – I’ve been wanting to see if the electric toothbrushes really make a difference and this was my chance – and what a difference it does make!
The toothbrush comes with a plug-in charger, which has a place to res the handle, the brush attachment and the flossing attachment and it’s all pretty compact (doesn’t take a lot of space on the bathroom counter).
There are two settings – clean and sensitive – and at first I did find the “clean” setting to be a little rough as it’s pretty fast. As anticipated, there was a little bleeding the first couple of times I used it, but that passed, and soon I came to love how squeaky clean my teeth felt after each use.
I LOVE the timing feature which allows 30 seconds for the four sections of your month and lets you know once you’ve completed brushing at 2 minutes and I think when I brush normally I’m always in a rush – but this slows me down and allows the proper amount of brushing time. I also really like the second “flossing” head which I use on the sensitive setting as it gets between the teeth (I still floss after but I do think it makes a difference using this brush first).
I’m completely convinced that this is a great product!

While I normally don't use bronzers, I decided to give on a try over a recent vacation and have had some good results with MAC lately so decided to give their product a try. I found the bronzer to be excellent - subtle enough that I didn't look like I had poured sparkles on my face, but also noticeable enough to give my skin a very nice subtle shimmer and golden hue. The product was also very light - and didn't feel heavy or oily even in extreme heat. I even used it a few times with some concealer, avoiding my foundation altogether and it looked great, even providing some coverage. -

First off, thank you PRC for sending me this product and giving me the opportunity to try it out.
As I have sensitive skin, I was excited to try Marcelle's hypo-allergenic day cream. I'm at an age where while not burdened with lots of wrinkles, I can see them forming a bit and thought this may be a way to nip the problem before it even started. I also was eager to use a SPF15 face cream as my current face cream doesn't have SPF and I've been considering switching to a cream with SPF.
I was sorely disappointed with the results. My face stung a bit when I put the cream on - and I felt like I was just rubbing sunscreen on my face. The formula didn't agree well with my sensitive skin and I'm not sure which ingredient was the cause for this. While I continued using to give it a fair chance for two weeks, I did not see any improvements in the areas of my face where wrinkles are forming. The effect that the cream had on my skin will prevent me from buying or recommending this product.

First of all kudos to Chick Advisor for allowing me to test this product – it definitely eased the pain when after a dedicated four-week application, the results were not completely as promised.
That said, I have minimal cellulite and had high hopes to get rid of that little bit which, I feel has to some degree disappeared, I still see traces of it. Regardless, I must admit that those areas where I applied (while wishing and hoping) do seem a little more taut.
Also, the product has a wonderful smell that I loved – but had to wonder what it was masking as the ingredients list many products, none of which seem natural.
All in all, I will continue using this product as I’m not completely done with the formula but don't think I'll run out for a refill. For those with minimal cellulite, you may notice some results but don’t expect a magical potion. Perhaps some things are too good to be true?

I'm not sure if the fact that my lips are somewhat full has any impact but I found, after using this product for a couple of weeks, it made no impact. I was disappointed with the result as I thought I would notice some brief change or difference but nada.
It's worth noting that the product packaging suggests it's for women experiencing fine lines, etc.. and I'm not yet at that age so perhaps that could have had some impact as well.

I wasn't sure what to expect from this mascara as I've used mascaras that plump but never really lengthen my lashes. I was really impressed when I used LashBlastLength because not only did this mascara seem to extend my lashes giving me lots of noticeable length, but the wand gets all the lashes towards the ends of my eyelids which gives a really nice full appearance that frames my eyes and lasts. -

While I saved this flavour to savour last, as I LOVE cheesecake, it definitely paled in comparison to both the Dark Chocolate Velvet and Banana Cream Pie. While I expected a delicious rich ice cream, filled with strong cheesecake flavours - what I got was a nice chocolate ice cream with very mild cheesecake flavours. Had the ice cream not been named "Chocolate Cheesecake" I'm not sure I would have noticed the cheesecake at all. I much prefer cheesecake ice creams with actual chunks of rich cheese cake embedded throughout and think Breyers may have to give thie one another go. -

I was a bit wary of the Banana Cream Pie only because in the past, other banana flavoured frozen desserts have had such overpowering faux banana flavours, that they resemble that banana-flavoured medicine I used to have as a kid. But this was quite different. Along with my ensemble of ice-cream samplers, we dug in to a rich creamy ice cream with a delicious crunch of graham crackers swirled throughout. The flavour was just the right amount of banana and, complimented by the graham cracker, it actually tasted like Banana Cream Pie! At the actual tasting, this flavour was an instant hit despite many of us agreeing we may not have reached out for it while grocery shopping had we not just tasted it. It definitely hit both the ice cream spot and the dessert craving - you don't need to side it with anything BUT it goes nicely with the Velvet Dark Chocolate. -

I was excited to be chosen to sample Breyer's three new flavours, and even more delighted at the adorable sample kit with three bowls and spoons nicely packaged in a chocolate brown box....but on to the real chocolate: The Dark Chocolate Velvet was smooth and creamy with a rich chocolatey flavour that did not overindulge in sweetness. It was a delicious dark chocolate ice cream, and despite paling in it's title compared to Breyer's other recent releases, it was the flavour most-craved by my ensemble of 6 post-ice cream sampling. It also lends itself well to toppings and combinations (try this with the Banana Cream Pie!) as it wasn't too sweet on its own. -
