I always have had issues with dry lips so I have tried just about everything on the market over the years. I resisted buying his even when my 17 yr old starting using it on a regular basis. I'm glad I finally gave in after a severe case. Though nothing completely solves my problem this did work better than many. I like the way it felt, it gives good coverage, lipstick style container was a good size and price was reasonable. I do wish there was a better selection of scents/flavours. I would recommend it to anyone looking for a new one, something to try as a first. Another good product from Nivea -

Love this product! My husband, bless him still likes to do his own laundry and I started him on these about 3 years ago. The 3-in-1 makes it faster, easier and simply to get his laundry done. I LOVE that we don't have to remember to catch this cycle and that cycle or to add a fabric softener sheet in the dryerI! I really love the line of Purex products and think they do a better job than many of the bigger, more well known brand names. I originally tried Purex to save money and stayed with it because it cleans well and has a wide range for our families needs (I have 2 little ones with Eczema and so far have only been able to use Purex Baby for their clothes). It has great scents to choose from and works well for his clothes, mine and our teenage daughter's clothes. Unfortunately it doesn't seem to be available here any more which I find surprising. Thankfully I stocked up at a Walmart sale used every coupon I could get my hands on and bought what I thought was a year supply for about $20! It has actually lasted 2yrs and we still haven't used it all! Best of all they still work just as great as the day I bought them. If you can find them I say try them and if you like them scoop as many as you can! I highly recommend these as well as all the Purex products! -

I've been wearing contact lenses for 30 years and I've tried lots of brands & solutions over those years and never really found much of a difference between them. Then I tried Bausch & Lomb Biotrue multi-purpose solution. I could actually feel the difference it made with my eyes when wearing my lenses. I've had very few probems with lenses & solutions over the years, but now in my 40's my eyes aren't what they once were and they are finally getting drier and seem to have more protein deposits on my lenses. The days of over wearing are gone and I need every extra bit of moisture and comfort they can get when I wear my lenses. My eyes feel so much better when wearing my contacts since I started using Biotrue last Summer. I tried a free sample and fell in love with the product. I love that is "PH balanced to match tears", "provides moisture & comfort throught out the day", it still cleans/disinfects and I don't need a separate cleaning solution, and the bonus of a clean new case in every pack. It's easy to forget to get a new case and this means I don't have to think about & purchase that separately. I like everything from the bottle style to the packaging. I love the case included and that I can fill a travel size bottle for air flights to the specified size and travel in general. It is also available in a travel size you can purchase. My only dislike is the price I do find it expensive compared to what I paid in the past for other brands/solutions. I try to remind myself it includes a case in the price and then it doesn't seem so bad. I try to stock up when on sale & use coupons. It's usually $10-$12 CAN (Sale $7-$9 CAN) depending on whether you but individual, packs of 2 and or travel size which is less than standard packages. I find Walmart usually seems to be the cheapest and the store that has it on sale most often. I highly recommend giving it a try, a think it is a great product that does what it says and makes wear contacts more comfortable & pleasurable. -

I first smelt Febreze Air effects spring Renewal at the office I used to work at. We had an ongoing problem with smells emanating from the restrooms that would drift through the office, it was awful. One of the women in my department took matters into her own hands and tried it to combat the smell. It was like a godsend in a can! We didn't think anything would make it bearable but this helped a great deal. I suggest this for lingering or bad smells...especially great for the restroom or bathroom for this reason. Also just a pleasant scent that works in the line of Febreze Air Effects products. Not too sweet, floral or feminine, a good crowd pleaser. I use it and highly recommend it. -
Febreze Air Effects Sweet Citrus & Zest

I'm a long time user of Febreze Air Effects and this is definitely one of my faves! It has a wonderful citrus scent that is fresh, clean, crisp, and always picks up my spirits when sprayed. Though they use "Sweet" in the name it isn't too sweet or over powering in my opinion. For me this almost as good as that fresh laundry scent , it brings a pleasant smile to my face. Another scent in the line that I would use in any room. I find it works well and does what it should. I love it and highly recommend it. -

I really like Febreze Air effects Air Freshener line of products. I've been using them for several years and find they actually work. I love that they have many different scents. Thai Dragon fruit is a different scent from the usual. Sort of slightly floral, but still slightly fruit, neither is over powering. It was a scent that seemed to be enjoyed by all 5 of us which is another bonus. I sometimes prefer certain scents for certain rooms, but this I would use in any room. I will buy again and do recommend this scent along with many of the other scents. -

I've loved using Febreze Air effects since they've been on the market. I'm a scent person and love being surrounded by a pleasant fresh smell that lasts for more than a few seconds. Febreze Air Effects delivers long lasting scents. There's such a fuss over Gain this & that, and I do like Gain products, but I really wasn't sure of it as an air freshener scent. To my huge surprise I LOVE it! Yes, I admit I love the smell of any house doing laundry as I walk by. That wonderful renewed smell and sense of clean, & fresh, makes me smile. We're a household of 5, so there are days when unpleasant smells abound and it just needs to be gone! I find Febreze Air Effects with Gain does this very well, quickly and it last for awhile. I do advise not spraying too much as it can be too much if overdone for some people...read my husbter lol. I love this product and highly recommend it and the others in the line. It's often on sale and coupons are also often available making it an even better deal. -

I wondered if this could really help my dry hands and still clean my dishes, pots and pans. My hands need all the extra TLC they can get so I gave it a try. To my surprise it did reasonably help my hands and still clean our dishes. Normally I have to put lotion on after each round of washing with this I didn't always have to which was a nice change in my busy world. As a family of 5, I do a lot of washing during the week so it was put to the test each time I bought a bottle. Definitely another good product from Dawn. Nice pleasant scent, something I expect from a Dawn detergent with their wide range of scents, as well as types of dish detergent. I will buy again and would recommend giving it a try if you have dry hands and are the family dishwasher lol. -

I've used Dawn in the past and liked it, but I have to say I found Dawn Ultra Platinum (Fresh Scent-Green) a let down. I didn't find it delivered what it was supposed to. It was supposed to be the equivalent of an overnight soak in 3 minutes. Even overnight I didn't find that it id a great job or any better than any other Dawn detergent. I thought it would save me time & effort and it didn't. It still soaked well over 3 minutes (hours to overnight) and still scrubbed just as much as I usually do. Maybe I had more than usual baked on, cooked on stuff but I don't think I did. I'd say try with low expectations. -

Balea is exclusive to Shopper's Drug Mart and I have been impressed with products I've tried. My fave is Balea Moisturizing Lotion w/Vitamin E & A. Of all places I found out about this amazing lotion at my dentist's office! My hygienist gave me hers to try in a pinch and I was surprised at how well it worked on my dry hands. I have extremely dry skin all year round and finding products that actually work has been hard. What a love about this is it works quickly and doesn't feel greasy or sticky. I've always had to rely on products that were to get my skin to lock in moisture, so it's nice to not have to any more. It has a simple smell, not unusual like many of the heavy duty lotions and creams I've tried to deal with my dry skin. It's affordable and works which for me is a great find. I highly recommend it. -
