I got to try this for free from ChickAdvisor. I really enjoyed the fragrance of this moisturizer. A total pick me up first thing in the morning. It was fresh and clean. I do like gel moisturizers, the right formulation is light and airy which this one was and lead to the awake feeling when I used it. I did find it a bit sticky some mornings, not sure why though. My skin felt well hydrated and smooth. I didn't see any reduction in my lines or a glow. I did only use it in the AM, the scent was too invigorating for me at night. Because I didn't see all the possible results I don't know if I would buy it again. But an added value feature I like is the type of bottle it's in. It's in a pump so no contamination. With the type of pump you get all the product, no waste either. -

I usually use skim milk for everything. But I can't quite handle that much milk when I have a smoothie. So I usually buy the unsweetened version for this purpose. I like this version better, it doesn't interfere with the flavours of my smoothies or add extra sugar. I do like having this around, it's convenient and if I forget to buy milk I can use this instead. I usually buy it on sale, otherwise I do find it a little pricey. -

Got a trial size of this product to try out. I didn't see 10yrs come off my face, but was happy with my results over a 4 week period. I have combination skin,but during this winter I noticed it was quite dry. The first thing I noticed was the quick change in how my face went from being dry to being moisturized. I did not feel greasy but just right. My make up went on smoothly and my powder wasn't caking on. After a few more weeks I was pleasantly happy on how my skin had a bit of a glow and looked smoother. It looked like some of my wrinkles were smoothing out, probably because of the moisture I was getting into my skin. It claims to reduce pore size as well, but I haven't noticed that. Perhaps if I continue using it maybe down the road. A little goes a long way, so if my trial size can last me 4 weeks; and I'm not finished yet, a full size is possibly good value. It's nice to see Olay "grow up". -

I received this product from ChickAdvisor to test. After using this product I will be going back to using thread and needle. This product is great for emergencies but it would depend on the fabric. I did use it on a light fabric and it was closer to the bottom. If it was higher I do believe it would pull and change the drape of the shirt. I also find the backing a little annoying against the skin. Overall I'm happy with the product but I don't know if I would purchase it again. -

I received the product from Chickadvisor to test out. Just my luck I have a few pair of pants to fix. The instructions are easy enough. The only tool I needed was an iron. I ironed my pants to get a guide line and then used the stickers. They are really sticky! I used a full sheet peer hem and it wasn't quite enough. I did get some puckering and there was a bit of twisting. I did get some on the glue on the hot iron, so I'm dealing with that now.
I hemmed 2 pair of pants, one was a light cotton/poly blend and the second was a heavier cotton. I am a little wary of the second pair, but time will tell. I haven't washed either pair yet so I don't know how they will stand up.
So for now I'm happy with how easy it was and how quickly I was able to do it. Much better than staples and safety pins! Price is pretty good, approx $10 a box; I've hemmed 2 pair of pants. The only thing that would change my rating is if it didn't last very long.

The shape of the packaging is what drew me to this lip balm, it is non-traditional. The price is good, I got it on sale, so even better.
I first bought it because I had a cold and was breathing through my mouth at night and my lips were chapped. It is moisturizing and has some staying power. In a couple of days my lips were pretty much back to normal. It has a pleasant scent, not too overwhelming. The taste is sweet as well.
In the end I am not a fan of the shape, it doesn't fit in a pocket very well, or a clutch. Now I only use it at home or take it with me when I carry a bag. It's also not easy to clean, the grooves pick up lint and you can't completely get rid of it all, not very appealing when you want to use it. With the traditional shapes you can wipe it much cleaner.

I've tried a few different foundations over the years, but always return to the Lancôme Teint Idole line. The line has gone through a few changes but so has my skin! I remember a matte formula quite a few years ago when that was the rage, but am glad that they have a lighter formula now. Still great coverage and easy to work with.
I like the level of coverage for everyday wear. It covers redness and blotches nicely. You can also build up the coverage if needed. It is still long lasting and is still quite smudge proof like the old formula.
I think it's a little pricey, but a little does go a long way.

When I was 12 Sensodyne was prescribed to my by my dentist, I stopped using it after a few years and have now decided to use it again. Back then it was because I had sensitive teeth. Now I want to use it to help rebuild my enamel. The texture is smoother than I remember, the taste...a lot better! The price, still a little high. But I'm willing to try it out again, based on how it was effective for me back then, I'm hoping it continues it's track record. -

Glad that the original version is back! The Pepsi version right now is good too, but the fewer the ingredients and ones that I can pronounce is always better, even when it's junk food! They say always with moderation. Find it refreshing on a hot day like today with some ice and a chilled glass! -
