I received a free sample from Febreze and ChickAdvisor as part of their product review panel.
I looked toward to trying this new product because since I carry teenagers and their stuff in my car, it usually doesn't smell that great in my car. Quite frankly, most car air fresheners don't usually do the job. Linen scent is my favorite scent because it's not overpowering and is super light and fresh. This product besides was so easy to install in my vent by clipping on; so easy! The scent doesn't lasting long once the vent has been turned off... you kind of have to keep it on all the time. I would buy this product again because I do love linen scent and I love Febreeze!

I was thrilled to have been selected by the ChickAdvisor Product Review Club for the opportunity to try the Oral-B® Pulsonic power brush.
My overall experience was great … while you should read the instructions, I tend to not do so. It was super easy to get the product ready to use; once ready, brushing my teeth was no longer a chore! You can’t compare a power brush with a manual brush … it wouldn’t be fair because a power brush is so much more advanced. The Oral-B® Pulsonic power brush is very effective at cleaning and whitening your teeth. It features more than 27,000 gentle sonic vibrations per minute! The handle is lightweight, and slim, which allows for better control and maneuverability. My manual brush ended up where it belongs: in the garbage! Very quickly, it was apparent that a power brush is an oral health must-have! Here’s something for you to think about: the Oral-B® Pulsonic power brush helps to whiten teeth in two weeks by removing 94% of surface stains. Let’s see your manual toothbrush top that! I really enjoyed my Oral-B® Pulsonic power toothbrush and would definitely consider purchasing this product in the future. Until then, I recommend that everyone give it a try because I know that all who do will fall in love with it.

This is an eyeshadow that blends easily because of it's soft texture. What's great is that the powder doesn't break up and fall all over your eyelashes/face. All you need is one application: great colours that don't crease. Love it! Bonus: comes off easy too. -

Poise Hourglass Pads are very simple to use; just like a menstrual pad, you peel off the strip and then stick the pad to the under garment. The Poise Hourglass Pads are shaped like an hourglass, so they’re comfortable to wear; however, they’re also larger than I had expected (similar to a thick maxi menstrual pad). Poise Hourglass Pads are very effective and absorbent. They keep you dry all day; especially compared to using regular menstrual pads or liners, and you won’t have to change them often. When/if my LBL gets more advanced, I will definitely be using Poise Hourglass Pads … I definitely recommend that anyone with LBL consider trying them.

Crest 3D White Whitestrips 2-hour Express

I have only used another whitening treatment in the past (I don't recall the name brand, but it was years ago and all I remember was squeezing some gel onto a rubber mouthpiece). I was selected, by ChickAdvisor, to review this product. This was perfect timing for me because I had a wedding to go to on September 17th; I probably would not have purchased a whitening treatment because of the cost involved. Applying the strips was very simple (although somewhat sticky), and the instructions were simple enough to follow. I really liked that the strips stayed in place, and didn't slide around in the mouth. The taste wasn't pleasant for me, and I did not like the gooey feeling ... even less when it accumulated in the mouth along with the saliva. Ew. In fact, the top strip kind of burned my inner top lip (at the corner of my mouth) ... perhaps it got stuck to it? Removing the strips was easy, and all the gooey residue left behind can be brushed away. I experienced tooth sensitivity while wearing the product, and I the next day I felt an ache in my teeth that wouldn't stop.
The end result: yes, my teeth did appear to gone a couple shades lighter. I must also include that the whiteness was only where the strips had been applied ... no where else.
Would I consider buying this product in the future? I'm not so sure I would. I have always used Crest; however, I'm not so sure that Crest has converted me to their 3D White Whitestrips 2 Hour Express Clan. I experienced a significant amount of discomfort while using the product. I don't think I'd like to experience the same again.
The facts remain:
-you do see a difference in the colour of your teeth
-it is expensive to whiten your teeth, so the cost of this product might be an advantage to some
-teeth sensitivity or discomfort isn't experienced by everyone
Although I wouldn't use Crest 3D White Whitestrips 2 Hour Express again, I would recommend that if someone was interested in whitening their teeth, they might want to give this product a shot. It's not too much time, or too many hours to invest ... and the results might be worth their while.
I'm glad that I received this opportunity; my teeth are just much too sensitive for this. I might consider trying the Crest 3D White Whitestrips Gentle Routine in future.

Gillette Venus Embrace Razor and Razor Heads

The 5 blade Gillette Venus Embrace Razor works much better than a 3 blade. I get fewer -to almost none- nicks or cuts, and the blade lasts much longer before going dull. I love the shape of the handle; it curves just like the curves of your leg, so you can manouver a lot easier. Since I first switched to Gillette Venus Embrace Razor, I haven't gone back to the previous one(s). -

This is a quality bathroom tissue that is both strong and soft. I like that it is thick and absorbant ... you'll find yourself using less TP at a time (unless you happen to be a kid-they just don't get it!). The tissue doesn't fall apart easily because it's thick and even "quilted". I don't know if I would pay the regular price for this bathroom tissue because the retail price is quite high (in my opinion); however, if it was on sale I'd definitely pick up a pack. All things considered, if price were the same as other brands on the market, I'd completely switch from my usual brand to Cottonelle Ultra. I would not hesitate to recommend this brand to friends who like comfort quality bathroom tissue. Our family agrees that Cottonelle Ultra is super comfy to use; this paying mama says: while quality and effectiveness is not an issue, paying full price at the checkout may hurt my pocketbook! -

My overall experience with using L'Oreal Pris (#8 Matches any Medium Blonde) Root Colouring Kit with Built-In Conditioning was very pleasant. The kit was very easy to use: just mix the product, and use the Quick Precision Applicator to colour! The applicator tip made it much easier to apply, and it didn't make a mess either! It only took 15 minutes (for me), because I have some pretty icky grey hairs that don't like to get coloured! After the application, I found my hair feeling very soft and the colour match was pretty dead on! My friend was impressed (she uses a different root touch up product) and said that L'Oreal's Root Rescue totally rocks, in comparison! Would I buy this product again? Yes! Next time I use it, I'll have to leave LESS time in between hair dyes. Recommend it? Yes! ... and so does my friend! -

I was happy to be included to try this product. I must say that the colour I chose was very wrong for me...it was much too dark. I didn't wear it to go out; however, I did try it at home to see how it would work. I like the fact that the formula is enriched with Goji Berry to help tighten and improve skin elasticity; however, the applicator is not my cup of tea! The sponge tip allows too much product to come out at once, and you really can't control it. The product, itself, felt wonderful going on....it felt smooth and light! I would have enjoyed to really be able to experience the product more, had I chosen the correct colour. Since the colour was too dark, I didn't put it on every day, I didn't wear it enough to comment on its' effectiveness to "erase" the look of lines and creases. I know that Maybelline makes great product; in future I would try it again (with the correct colour), but I stand firm about the applicator. -

I loved the smell of both the Color Shield Shampoo and Conditioner. When in the shower, my hair felt like silk, and when I dried my hair if felt healthy. My second colour appliation, when paired with the color sheild products, seemed to leave my hair super soft & sexy! I noticed the difference: the colour doesn't seem to fade as fast. My hair looks healthy, my colour looks natural and vibrant, and it feels so amazing!! I would definately recommend the Colour Sheild Products to my friends. -
