I am head over heels about the re-introduction of dry shampoos in the market. I've tried a few from different brands at different price points and came to the conclusion that the higher the price the better the product.... Until I tried dove. I read an article on beautyeditor.ca and she swore by the dove product and raved about the cheaper price tag so I tried it. I really like how light and airy this product is and I'm super excited with how inexpensive it is especially for the size of bottle. I didn't have the same experience as beachbabe - Suomi wonder if maybe there was an issue in the production line that a number of bottle were not filled correctly. My bottle seems to still have quite a lot in it after a number of uses.
My only warning: this spray does not go on as clear as the other products I've tried. It goes on pretty white and takes a little massaging to set it in. But after 20 seconds you don't see any trace of it anymore.
Love this product. And I will definitely buy again

I've been using this tooth brush for about a week now and I'm really enjoying it. I haven't used an electric toothbrush in a while so the first thing I noticed after my 2 minutes was how clean my mouth felt! I noticed myself running my tongue along my teeth through out the morning - they were so smooth! I feel spoiled using this toothbrush my mouth feels super clean and I feel really great that I know I've brushed for at least the full 2 minutes.
I don't think I will ever go back to a manual tooth brush - I know now that the price is worth it for how great this product is. So ladies, spoil yourself for a change and buy this product! You'll be happy you did!

I was so excited about the opportunity to be a part of this product review club! I've used Crest White Strips in the past, but never the 2 hour kit. I've been curious about it though after seeing the commercials on TV I wanted to know if they would really work as well as they suggested.
I tried the strips two days ago and I had mixed emotions.
1) I was really impressed with the adhesiveness of the strips. They are 5X better than the regular strips; I wasn't worried they were going to slide around... which is good since I had to keep them there for 2 hours. I also liked that none of the gel slid around or out from the creases of your teeth (this had also happened to be with the other strips)
2) I removed the strips and my teeth felt really smooth (always a good feeling) and they were definitely white and sparkly... though how much whiter is tough to tell. I'm really happy with the results though and I'm even more excited that the package comes with 4 sets of strips so I'll be able to maintain the results for a whole year!
3) When the package mentions some sensitivity ... expect it! I didn't really notice the sensitivity of my teeth the night I used the strips, however the next morning my teeth experienced a dull ache all through the day... it was very disheartening and I chose to wait to do my review and see if the discomfort would go away...
4) The sensitivity is only temporary! I was right, the achy teeth were all gone within a day and I don't notice any sensitivity anymore.
I'm really happy with the results and I'm excited to use them again (I'll probably give one of the sets to my fiancé and we'll use them right before the wedding in January (maybe 2 days before to get over the sensitivity). Perfect timing ChickAdvisor... I can use them again in just 3 months!
I'll be recommending these to my bridesmaids and really anyone else that asks me about my teeth or what they can use. Thanks Crest! and Thanks ChickAdvisor!

I tried this parfum for review purposes and I can't stop spritzing it! I really love that the scent is light and feminine but the hints of jasmine and honey make it warm and sensual rather than flowery. The only thing I don't like about it is the bottle is so small. I'll have to order another one soon. -

I've tried whipped foundation like this before but I've never liked how it applied or how it looked. I probably wouldn't have bought this just to try, but I was lucky enough to review it for free. I'm really glad I did because this foundation is a lot better than the others I've tried. The foundation is very light but it applies thicker than others I've tried and it seems to have more lasting power (I used it in combination with my L'Oreal magic base so that might also have something to do with it), I like that this foundation feels like it breathes but it's still heavy enough that you know it's going to stay on your face.
*Although this has nothing to do with the products performance I have to say I am a huge fan of how cute the glass jar and bright pink lip the foundation comes in!
I would buy this product in the future... especially if it was on sale!

NARS Nail Polish in Poker Face

I hardly ever wear colour on my nails. I'm more of a grays and browns kind of girl. But, I got the opportunity to try NARS Poker Face Nail Colour this morning and I may have been sold on this colour thing after all. The colour is bright and cheery and I can't stop looking at how cute my nails look :)
If you're thinking NARS is a little pricey, don't sweat it the polish is great quality so you won't be re-doing your nails constantly and using the bottle up in a week. Totally worth it!
ally worth it!

I've been using this product (that I got free for review) for about a week now. I normally love all TRESemme hairsprays, so I was excited to use one that promised to protect my style from wind, humidity and dry air but this one was just okay. I liked that my style stayed in place, but I can't say that it worked any better than any of my other sprays. If you are looking for a lighter spray that won't weight down your style and still give you some flexibility with your hair than this might be the perfect spray for you. I also suspect that this spray would work well for thinner hair (mine is pretty thick). Overall, good product but I'm not sure I would buy it over another version of TRESemme spray. -

I finally went in to grab some lunch a couple weeks ago and I enjoyed the most delicious grilled ham panini. I've also tasted one of these chocolate cookie balls. I would eat there everyday if there were no such thing as calories.

My cuticles always get super dry in the winter and this crazy back-and-forth weather has not made it easy for them to recover. I started using VitaSurge Cuticle gel 5 days ago when I received it free for review purposes and I've been applying it to my cuticles everyday (twice if I remember). The first time I applied it to my cuticles I couldn't believe how fast it worked! My cuticles instantly felt smoother and softer and the cracked parts were nowhere near as sensitive. I've started to see a visible improvement in the look of them now that 5 days has past.
I used the Sally Hansen Miracle Nail Growth a while ago and it also helped my cuticles, but nowhere near as much as this product. I also like the applicator brush for this gel, it's just like a nail brush (only more of a sponge), it make the gel super easy to apply and it means you will get 95% of the product out of the bottle so there is little wastage. I'd recommend this product to anyone whose cuticles/fingers need some TLC.
