I received this product for free when I went to the Pantene blowout event at Blo Salon. I like the shampoo. It definitely leaves my hair feeling clean and lightweight, but I don't love how my hair feels between shampooing and conditioning (although I know it's the conditioner's job to make it soft). But I would buy it again to use at home, for sure. -

I have coloured hair, so I'm really picky about my conditioner, and I found this one to be quite good. As a day-to-day conditioner it leaves my hair soft and bouncy, sufficiently moisturized but not weighed down. Once a week I use a masque for deep conditioning, but this one is very good for daily use. And the price is perfect. -

"I received a free sample from Febreze and ChickAdvisor as part of their product review panel."
I have used another similar product in the past, but this one was far superior. The other one I used before was difficult to install and would break easily. This one was very easy to open and install, it doesn't take up so much space, and the scent is very nice. You can adjust the setting of the scent from lighter to stronger, but I keep it on the lowest setting and it gives my whole car a nice, pleasant scent, not overpowering. I liked the other one I used before (when it wasn't broken), but I like this one much better, so I will definitely be buying this one from now on.

L'Oreal Professionnel Intense Repair Masque

I have been using this masque for a couple of weeks now, and I find it very good. The smell is nice, but not overpowering. The instructions say to apply to towel-dried hair, but I'm not about to get out of the shower, towel dry my hair and get back in...so I just squeeze as much water out of my hair as I can before applying it. It is easy to distribute evenly throughout my hair. When I rinse, I have to admit it is hard to tell when it is completely rinsed out as my hair feels quite slippery. But the end result is very good. My hair is soft and manageable, and doesn't feel weighed down in the least. I use L'Oreal hair products all the time, and this lives up to their standard. The only downfall is the price. I would never pay that much money for a hair masque/conditioner. Too bad it's so expensive because I really liked it and would buy it otherwise. -

First of all, I was very happy to receive this to test for the Product Review Club...thanks ChickAdvisor!
I generally use L'Oreal shampoos and conditioners, and a L'Oreal masque too...but the ones you can get at Shoppers Drug Mart, and I already think they're pretty good. I thought this "expert" shampoo and masque were as good as those, but not so much better as to be worth such a higher price.
After using them for a week, here are my thoughts: I thought the shampoo lathered well, smelled nice (although not wonderful), and rinsed clean. The masque distributed easily throughout my hair. My hair feels soft and smooth when it's dry. My long hair is not weighed down. My hair is also coloured so I worry about tangles and brittle ends, but this left my hair feeling healthy.
The instructions for the masque say to apply it to towel dried hair, which I think is unrealistic. I am not going to get out of the shower, towel dry my hair, and then get back in. So I just squeezed out as much water as possible before applying it.
So, it's really more of a "Sure" than a "You Betcha!" but I thought it was a good enough product, if the price was right.

As soon as I smelled this I was transported back to the beach in Florida when I was a child. I love the smell of this! It makes me feel warm and happy. I like the solid perfume, because with normal "spray" perfumes I tend to put on too much, and in the wrong spot (usually up my nose). This one I can put on exactly where I want it. A little bit floral and a little bit citrus, it's not an overpowering scent, and it lasts a long time. And the price is perfect! -

I received this as a Christmas gift and I liked it. The texture was great, very creamy, not greasy. It absorbed well, and my skin felt soft and moisturized all day. The scent also lasted well. I couldn't tell if I smelled like a Lemon Meringue Pie or furniture polish, but either way I liked it! I only received a little trial size bottle, so it ran out quickly, but I will definitely be buying more. -

This is not a fancy place, but the food is authentically Chilean (just like my mother-in-law's home cooking) and delicious. The prices are excellent too. It's a great place to go for a quick and simple lunch. I recommend the empanadas, the "Pastel de Choclo" (corn pie) and for dessert, the alfajores. The Chilean salad, with lettuce, tomato, onion and avocado is also very good, and a healthier choice. -

Las Brasas is in Toronto at 1201 St. Clair Ave., just west of Dufferin.
The food here is delicious. This is not a Mexican restaurant....the meats are cooked in the traditional Argentinian style, served with bread, maybe some potatoes, and great wines. Everything is wonderful. The atmosphere is relaxed and enjoyable, the music suits the atmosphere, and the price is quite good. The Parillada for 1 is $19, but is more than enough food for 2 people to share, and take home a doggy bag.
The only downside is that the waitstaff seem like they really don't know what they are doing. On one occasion the food was quite a long time coming out (and I don't usually mind waiting...I'm not one to be in a big rush). On another occasion it took about 45 minutes for them to bring out the bill from the first time we asked...seriously! We had to ask several times. Thankfully we weren't in a hurry. They are friendly enough, just not really well organized.
But the food makes it all worth while. Every time I go there it is a really enjoyable dining experience. Highly recommended.
