Since using it, I've noticed my skin is definitely softer and less dry. And I love that it has SPF in it. What I don't love is how thick it is. While my skin is softer and more moisturized, It gets greasier in a shorter amount of time. The consistency is more what a night cream should be.

This is a new Blistex product I saw in store. I was looking for a basic lip balm that also gave a bit of natural looking colour. I find that my face looks kind of blah in winter, and I don't want to wear lipstick. And other lip balms with colour (such as Baby Lips) are too expensive and don't give me the colour I want (Nivea pearl is too frosted and makes me look washed out).
Lip Vibrance makes my lips so soft, and give me some nice colour that could be my own lips...just better. Plus it has SPF 15 which is an added bonus. It protects my lips from blustery winter winds and adds a bit of pop to my face!

I received a box of the Quaker Harvest Crunch Quinoa Bars as part of ChickAdvisor's product review club.
The bars had a nice crunch to them, and I liked the chocolate on the bottom. However, I eat quinoa on a regular basis, and expected there to be a lot more nutritional value to the bars. In the small 35g bars, there is: 6g fat, 24g carbs, 1g fiber and only 2g of protein.
The bars are ok to have on hand when you need to grab something really quick to snack on, but at $3.49/box of 5, there are many better options out there.

Carter's / Osh Kosh
Carter's is my favourite place to shop for my LO. The selection is always good and the prices can't be beat - at the rate he grows, I don't want to spend a lot!

I really enjoyed this product. I use scents at home and on me, but never in the car. I've always found the little pine trees to be unsightly!
Enter the Vent Clip. It is small and unassuming, which is perfect. The scent is really nice. It is fresh and natural.
The vent clip has a dial to choose the strength of the scnet, and the lowest one is perfect. My husband thought it was too strong even then, but I like it.
My only complaint is that I cannot adjust the vent with the clip. It hasn't been an issue due to the weather, but in the freezing cold or summer weather it might be more of an annoyance.

I got this as part of the Product Review Club and I was really excited to try it. I got it just before I would be attending the Diet Coke TIFF party, so I knew that the enxt morning would be perfect for a test drive.
When I put it on, I liked how the metal rollerball - it felt cool on my tired, puffy eyes. I also felt a tingly sensation. I think it did help with the puffiness first thing in the morning.
However, the bad outweighs the good.
I did not like that it takes so long to dry. With other brands I've used, I put it on and then can pretty much apply concealer right after. This one takes a while to dry, so I needed to change up my routine and apply it, then dry my hair, then do my makeup. Not a huge deal, but anooying when I forget to do it. Once it dries, it also has a bit of a sticky residue which I did not like. I also found that it didn't reduce the colour of my undereye circles - this after using it daily for 2 weeks.
There areother products on the markey that are better (such as the Garnier eye roller). I would skip this one!

This is honestly a miracle product.
I have soemwhat limp hair, so I like to blowdry my hair upside down. Unfortunately, while this gives me some lift, it also gives me all of those little baby flyaway hairs. Then, one day I was at the drugstore and saw this product...for less than $10 I was willing to try it.
It is amazing! It gets rid of all the little flyaway hairs and makes my hair nice and smooth. It doesn't make my hair greasy, and makes it nice and shiny. It is small and compact, so I can take it with me everywhere, and has a nice scent. I highly recommend this product!
FYI I have very straight hair, so I am unsure of how it would work with curly hair.

I got this as part of the Product Review Club, but I do not like this one as much as Morning Walk/Cleansing Rain.
I plugged this in as soon as I got it and I've been using it for just over a week now. I placed this one in my upstairs hallway, and it does keep the entire upstairs smelling like anilla/lavendar. I still like that I can choose the level of scent I want.
I find the vanilla and lavendar scne to be overpowering and fake smelling. Just like laundry, I want my home to smell clean and fresh...not like a candle store. I won't buy these scents anymore.

I got this as part of the Product Review Club and I'm really glad.
I plugged this in as soon as I got it and I've been using it for just over a week now. I placed this one in my living room and it smells up my whole main floor. The morning walk/cleansing rain scents are fresh and appealing.
What I liked about this product is that I could choose what level I want the scent to be at. I found the lowest level to be perfect.
The scents are not overpowering, and they justmade my home smell fresh. I will definitely buy the refills when these run out!
