I was one of the lucky ones selected to review this product, and am really glad I was. I've been colouring my hair at home for a couple of years now, but have never stuck to one brand..
Very glad to have tried this series of products. The colour was great, it covered my grey really well. After the 2nd colouring when I started to use the shampoo, conditioner and colour shield, I found the colour stayed more true to the colour after just dying my hair.The products smell good and felt good. I use the Colour Shield sparingly, so haven't found it greasy or sticky as others have.
I would definitely consider buying this brand of products regularly in the future, not just buying what is on sale.

This was a great summer read. Found it in a recommended book list in a magazine, and checked it out of my local library. Wasn't too sure about it since I was never a big fan of the circus, but thought I'd give it a try.
I didn't want to put it down. I really enjoyed it, the main characters were great, and I loved the ending it made me want to laugh and cry at the same time, very moving.
Can't wait for the movie!

I was very glad to be chosen to review Garnier Nutrisse Cream Hair Colour. I received my first sample just in the nick of time, my roots were really grey.
The product was very thick, so I found it very easy to apply and spread through my hair. No drips.
I did the brand new application (even though my hair is already coloured, I wasn't sure how close the colours were) and left it on for 25 min as recommended.
I found the smell pretty strong when I was first applying it, but didn't really notice it while waiting for the colour to develop.
The one thing that really stood out from other hair colour experiences was how moist the colour still was when it was time to rinse. I've had other products almost dry while waiting for the time to expire. When I added the little bit of water and massaged it was a very nice feeling, very rich and creamy.
The colour is great, my hair is very shiny and it definitely covered all my grey.
I would recommend this product.

I was very excited to be chosen to review this product (Thanks very much ChickAdvisor).
Received the product by UPS very promptly. Have been using the serum both morning and bedtime under usual moisturizers as directed for almost 2 weeks.
It has a very pleasant smell - hint of orange and very subtle licorice (from the fennel). Really enjoyed this as I find many products are too heavy on the fragrance.
My skin is sometimes a bit sensitive, and was happy that there was no reaction or breakout caused by the serum.
It goes on very lightly, although gets a bit sticky as it dries. Stickiness does dissappear.
Have to say though I am disappointed, have seen no change what so ever to skin texture or fine lines, let alone to deeper lines. Claims to reduce signs of aging, but haven't seen any improvement.
Will continue to use regularly and provide an update if I do start to see results.
One other comment on packaging - all the printing is so tiny, both on the box and the bottle. Considering the product is aiming for an older (aging) audience, The Body Shop should print an info sheet that does not require a magnifying glass to read.
So although I love The Body Shop, I wouldn't recommend this product.

I loved this book. For those of you who are fans of chick lit or Brit lit, its a must read.
Husband says he's fallen in love, leaves his wife and 2 young boys and drives into a tree.
Due to the 2nd mortgage her husband had taken out, Jo is forced to relocate and start over.
Great bunch of characters - best friends, new friends, family. Her relationship with her boys is so sweet, you want to cry, except you're already laughing at what the boys have said. so realistic.
Just wish they'd thrown in the knitting patterns.

The Time Traveler's Wife by Audrey Niffenegger
This is a great rainy weekend read, especially if you don't have to go anywhere, because the book is hard to put down.

They call it a magic eraser, but really all it does is cover up.
I've used them on walls and it covered scuff marks, although they eventually they re-appear.
But tried it in my bathroom, as suggested, and it left a white coating on my tub. Yuck.
So its great if your just trying to cover a mark, but it doesn't erase anything.

COVERGIRL LashBlast Volume Mascara
Wasn't supposed to clump, but I found that I had lots of flaking and clumps under my eyes by dinner time.
