I LOVE this time of year and my favorite scent to get me in the mood is Frosted Cranberry from either BBW or TBS. I bought this scrub assuming it would be like other scrubs I have tried but it disappointed. The smell is fantastic but the consistency is very gel like and I find the product does not adhere well to the skin (waste most of it in the shower/tub). I assumed it would be more scrub like with oils but it doesn't leave a soft, silky feeling or leave the scent on the body. For these reasons, I would not buy this product again but still love the scent! -

I was hesitant to try another body butter as most I have found are too thick or don't leave room for your skin to breath when they are applied. I purchased this product on a buy three get three free promo (I love a deal) and was pleasantly surprised at the results. It smelled lovely but not over powering, went on smoothly and left my skin feeling hydrated for the entire day. I would most definitely buy this product again but not at full price (would wait for a deal). On a side note, this product and size will last months as you don't need to apply a lot to get coverage. -

I received this product as a Chick Advisor and am always one to keep an open mind in trying something. I purchased pants for my growing 2 boys who are husky but not tall and took the opportunity to use try these products out first on their cotton dress pants. I did not want to spend money on hemming them (purchased for under $15 a Old Navy). I prepped them by pinning them and then proceeded to try and place the permanent hem strips on one part of the pants. It was very awkward and even though I figured they would hold, it mostly stuck to my hands and then would not adhere to the pants very well. I fudged my way through it and got them to stick but not sure it would be a permanent fix or make it through a wash (or through rough and tumble play that boys can do). I also don't think it would look good on a more delicate pair of dress pants as it was hard to place on easily and left some wrinkling. I plan on removing the bonding strips after the wedding, hoping I haven't ruined a pair of pants that could still be worn as they grow. I am on the fence about purchasing this product. -

I have tried this product at the same time as I started using BS products. It smells nice (fresh, not flowery, no scent really) and goes on smoothly and evenly without a lot of effort. The one and only thing about this product I do not like and that would deter me from using it again would be the glass dropped that does not work. It barely sucks up enough product into the dropper and I normally end up tipping the product over to get it out. If BS is reading this, please change this!
Otherwise a great product for someone like me in needing to start with age defying products (between 35-45).

I purchased the product at SDM with a coupon I had found & got it for under $10.00 (normally $17-20). I have been using it faithfully throughout the summer and now into fall months. It is easily applied to washed hair (damp), has a fantastic smell and applies lightly and doesn't feel like it weighs the hair down. It keeps my hair feeling soft and light. I would say it can be used on any hair condition (dry, normal, oily) & coloured or damaged hair. I do not normally using any hair dryers but chose to let my hair dry naturally. I would definitely recommend for anyone looking to try out a excellent product at a reasonable price! -

I received this product as a Chick Advisor. First let me say I do NOT sew and am up for anything that can save me time & energy! I was excited to receive this product as I am busy and don't have time to sit and sew buttons back on mine, my husbands or my kids pants. My husband also is not a standard size guy and he has had buttons pop and we have had to MacGyver a quick fix., The product instructions were easy to understand and the product was easy to put on the pants. My concern with the product is the ability to hold under pressure. It didn't instill confidence that with bending and a tummy that it would hold. The quantity in the package was OK but I think the price point is too high. There is convenience of being able to take it on the go which is great. I think in this day and age this product is perfect for the market BUT at a lower price and maybe with a adjustment to button size (larger). Would buy if I need a quick fix temporarily. -

The quantity in the package was perfect for the price point and the convenience of being able to take it on the go is great. I think in this day and age this product is perfect for the market, at the right price and with the ability to be removed easily ~ definitely recommend! -

* I received this product for free as a Chick Advisior. I have used Coppertone spray sunscreen in the past but never this specific one.*
The product was late in shipping to review and came shipped in a brown envelope (love getting my pretty pink boxes normally). It also had no instructions as other products have before.
I used the product for 1-2 weeks during the day when outside/doing errands and found it had the same effect as other sunscreens I had used. The feel and smell was consistent with other brands I have used. I am not sure if I would purchase a face specific sunscreen or just end up using a sunscreen for both my body & face.
The Coppertone brand I have been happy with but when it comes down to price & a sale, I would choose whichever brand had a good name behind it, a high SPF and would not likely buy 2 separate bottles (face & body).

* I received this product for free as a Chick Advisor but have been a faithful Mabel's Labels customer for many many years.*
I ordered this product & received it within a couple of days after. They ship labels in easy envelopes so there is not need to make an extra stop to the post office.
I have two boys and we have a unique last name so I always just put our last name in caps when ordering. I chose to order bright primary colours (more visible) & a football as our logo (have ordered without before, personal preference, sometimes simpler with no logo).
The variety of sizes works perfectly for everything from bags to shoes to clothing. My own little tip ~ make sure label is lying flat with no creases and rub briskly for a minute. Helps seal the label to the clothing or item.
When I have ordered in the past, Mabel's Labels always has promo codes and is always posting the best deals to their social media sites (FB, Twitter). I have tried other labels in the past but there is no comparison in quality, price or selection. I would highly recommend a Mabel's Label for anything or anyone in the house needing one!

I received this product for free to review as a Chick Advisor.
Before using this product, I had not used Vichy products.
This product is to be used at night time over top of Vichy Idealia Life Serum.
The product has a gel like consistency, has no real smell and applies quite well to the skin. I did try to keep it away from my eyes or lips as it leaves a tingly tightening experience. My skin feels nourished going to sleep and feels moisturized waking up. The product is supposed to help your skin heal overnight from life stressors.
The cost is around $50+ ~ I would likely purchase this product as part of a package - would be interesting to see how it works without the Vichy Idealia Life Serum I used it with.
