I do like this product but unfortunately, I do not recommend it because I don't feel it's worth it in regards to what it claims. I received this free for my review but as I know the price point, I don't feel it's deserving and do include that in my judgment.
I like the packaging, the easier to pump or dispense the better. I got the hang of pumping out just what I use so it's fine. I use it after I cleanse and moisturize so as a last step as a sleeping mask but it's not really considered an occlusive I don't think.
It's ok in texture, not too thick but I'm getting really dry so it helps feel soft and moisturized. I don't mind the smell as I usually dislike strong scents but this has a nice scent.
I do like the brand as well. I think they deliver quality products.
This however, did not bring me obvious results. No antiaging.

So I gave it a great rating which it really deserves because this thing is bomb! However, the scent needs help. I guess I would consider myself oversensitive to scents but I love the scent of the invisible one. This particular one was sent to me for testing purposes and I do love it. You don't really smell it after the initial spray.
Sometimes with other deodorants, you get a whiff of the scent every now and then when you're moving but this spray is dry through and through. I don't have to worry about stains or that wetness feeling.

I gave this to my brother in law to try as I received this complimentary for testing purposes. He rated it as average. Nothing special about it apart from the scent which I found a bit strong when I sprayed it on to try it as well but he liked it.
He doesn't smell it throughout the day as he moves around however he does not have a physically exhausting job. He does need to spray more when he plays volleyball at night. He says he won't mind buying it if it's on sale.

I used the pastel just to see what it would be like but by the end of it, I used what I could where I could as there wasn't enough product for my hair.
I have thin and very fine hair and would normally have tons left after. I dye my hair often so I'm not a noob to home kits and had recently dyed my dark Asian hair before I used the lightener that chickadvisor sent with this one free for me to try.
So, my hair was left yellow as the sun and mixed with blue, that makes green! it's not a bad colour to be left with mind you, but honestly, they don't expect my hair to be stark white after the lightener unless I left it on for 2 days or something. So I really had no choice.
I had it for about 3 hours maybe I can't remember now but it was a long time and it seemed to have darkened a lot. It washed out anyway.
So big tip is to use a dark towel unless u don't mind a stain for washing your hair each time throughout the weeks that the colour stays.
Not 15 washes at all.
It's been a few weeks now and my hair is still semi green but it's very faded now. I will say how amazingly soft my hair is. I honestly thought I ruined my hair into straw like features as I experienced from previous dye jobs but honestly my hair is nice and soft and manageable. Still experience hair loss af but I dunno what that is.
I want to like this product, but they really need to improve the pigment for ppl who can't possibly lighten anymore. We need more product as well or else don't advertise as something you can use for whole head and for the love of god, improve your directions and gloves. The ones provided are ridiculous. I didn't even bother with them. I dunno how anyone could've used them.

I have oily skin with dry patches and I get hormonal acne in the same areas. I used this item on my problem areas which are: chin, nose and between my eyebrows.
I have dark pigmentation there from previous acne and a new breakout which I was able to try it with and I think it made a difference.
I had a cystic acne on my chin which is painful and a new scar around my lip and nose which I treated for a few weeks religiously.
The chin one went down a lot before it became too painful and the lip one is no longer a raised bump. The nose area has decreased in darkness more quickly than usual.
The item itself has that witch hazel herbal scent which I expected and welcomed as I expect Burts Bees to be clear of added fragrance.
The product stung upon contact but I love that kind of sting. The product itself dries immediately so be fast.
I recommend it; I just dislike the packaging as it was hard to find amongst the other products with the same name unless you know what you're looking for. I don't think it works within the 2 week claim but I really do think it works eventually.

Garnier Nutrisse Ultra Color
I dye my hair frequently but all last year I didn't touch it so I was definitely due a change. I had no high expectations but it does claim to lighten dark hair so I was hopeful for some colour

I took this with me on my trip as it is travel sized and doesn't weigh a lot or take up much room.
I love the brand, it's trustworthy and popular. It's convenient enough to buy. I can always count on good ingredients and it really smells nice. Sometimes I spritz it just for the smell even after I've washed my hair.
It doesn't however perform well for volume or as a dry shampoo. I like my DS to be long lasting but this just doesn't cut it for the greasiness. I usually do 2 days without washing the hair and I have shoulder length hair so I'd say I fall on an average woman rating.
The product however is mediocre and doesn't lift me at the roots at all. I would not purchase this. I did receive it free for my honest review #gotitfree

This product seems to be directed toward people with oily roots or people who do not wash their hair everyday. I try to go 2 days without washing my hair and rely heavily on dry shampoo. Using this product lately and I have noticed a difference; not a big difference yet as it is still fairly new but I see its potential.
Its main ingredient and selling point is the clay. Now I'm familiar with clay as I use it for skincare and I know the results it has for drawing out the grease. So, if you have dry hair, this isn't the right product for you.
If you're like me and have oily roots and dry ends, then give it a go. The scent is quite nice but doesn't stay unless you use it with the conditioner I reckon. It is also good for the value. I haven't given it 5 stars purely because I want to see how well it fares once I've used it religiously then I'll edit if it's warranted.

Align is a very popular brand for digestive care. As a probiotic, it's meant to reintroduce good bacteria back into the system which I think everyone can benefit from, young or old. This item contains B. infantis where B stands for bifidobacterium. It claims to relieve and manage symptoms of Irritable Bowel Syndrome. I received this item complimentary for testing purposes.
It's not something that most people would notice a difference from but I have found that most of my IBS symptoms have calmed down slightly since taking this supplement. I have been suffering from bloating but it does warn you that you may experience temporary changes as it gets introduced to your body.
I don't mind this product for IBS relief. I like the package, as well as the easy capsules in the foil packet with days that make it easy for you to keep track of daily intakes. That's a plus. I don't care for the included tracker & guide paper. I find that wasteful and I doubt anybody uses it.
I was hoping it would be an information guide on the product as a probiotic. If an item is claiming to provide live friendly bacteria back into the system, I would expect it to show more clearly the number of bacteria and types of bacteria it contains. There is only one small mention on the side of the package that it is bifidobacterium longum infantis with 1x10*7 cfu/capsule. I'm a nutritionist, I am very particular.
Also, only a small mention of storing in room temparature on the other side of the package. I find that for probiotics, you have live organisms that you need to care for properly. You must emphasize keeping it safe from light or heat. It does say keep it in the blister package but it doesn't explain why.
I would probably consider to get this as an IBS relief supplement but not solely for probiotics. I want to ensure that the capsules do survive all the way through to the intestines, I also prefer more than 1 type of bacteria.
