I received this product for free from a ChickAdvisor review club - however I am very critical of skin care products. I'm happy to report I really liked this product and would be happy to pay the 24.99 (it's suggested retail price). One word of caution is that you really only need 1/2 to 1/4 pump from this bottle per application - so this tube really goes a long way. I found when I applied to much my makeup tended to 'slide off' during the day... however once I figured out how much I really needed it was far more effective than my previous moisturizer routine. The scent is light and refreshing... not overpowering at all. Looking forward to using this every morning and will be sticking with this product from here on out. -

I received this product for free from Chick Advisor but I was surprised to see you get 30 strips for 7.99 - that seems like an incredible price. I actually tried this out on a blouse I had with cuffs that were too long. I was going to toss the blouse because the price to get it tailored outweighed the actually cost of the blouse - so I didn't have much to loose. I was so impressed how smooth of a hem this created and that it has stayed. I also tried these out on a pair of my husbands pants and they worked great. Not sure I would even bother going to a tailor to have pants hemmed now! Even basic jeans are at least $7.50 in my area and with this pack of strips I could hem many, many pants. Loving it :) Thanks Chick Advisor!! -

I received this product for free from ChickAdvisor and I was really excited to put it to use. I find a lot of my dress pants with invisible hems tend to fall or come undone. We don't often use the services of a dry cleaner so it's kind of a pain to take a pair of pants into the tailor for just one hem. I tried it out on a pair of my pants and they looked great. I've washed them about 5 times and the hem is still holding. I don't know how long this would last but ti's a great option for a quick fix! Overall I was impressed. -

I gave this product to my husband to throw in his desk drawer at work. He always seems to loose buttons on his shirts and pants (then doesn't bother to tell me) so his clothes sit in a pile in his closet after he gets home from work. I figured at least if he can fix it himself until it can make its way to me then I can sew them back on properly. I received this product for free from ChickAdvisor and overall I was impressed. It did what it needed to do (hold the button on) until I could get it home to fix it. Great if you are in a pinch but overall not necessary if you have a needle and thread to fix it immediately... haha but most of us don't exactly just carry a needle and thread around in our purse. Each button stayed on for 2-3 washes which surprised me! -

These Sweet Pea Diaper covers are great. I have used the snap covers and they wash and dry quickly. I typically use them with a trifold insert or a fleece insert. Because they have the double gusset feature around the leg hole the diaper covers never leak. There is a bit of a learning curve to get a squirmy baby to lie still long enough to do up the snaps - but practice makes perfect. I'm so glad I bought these covers as they are affordable and work great. -

I tried this product for free through a door delivery sample. I have to say I'm shocked at how well they worked. However when I went to Loblaws to buy some more I was shocked at how expensive they were. I'm a chronic 'non-rinser' when loading the dishwasher but even the driest, crusted on dish came clean with these. I wish they were a little cheaper :( -

I received this product for free to try from ChickAdvisor. I really liked the packaging - which seems silly but the standard cereal packaging makes a powdery mess in my pantry. My baby liked the cereal but I wish it had a flavour too it. I ended up mixing some yogurt into it to make the taste more exciting. Plain oatmeal flavour might be interesting for a 6 month old baby but my 10 month old needed a little more pizazz. -

I have heard about these labels before but didn't know that they shipped to Canada. A few kids in my sons preschool have everything labelled with these labels and I had been eyeing them for some time.
When I heard from another mom that they stayed on the kids cups in the dishwasher I knew I had to get my hands on some. Lo and behold the next week I was emailed a free offer from ChickAdvisor to try these labels for free and I LOVE them. We have already had two on my sons cups and a pair of underwear (yes I know... strange) returned to us that would have otherwise been lost. I'm about to place a second order for my husband to label his lunch gear that always seems to disappear at his work.
I would totally recommend these to anyone and will happily pay full price for a second set!

Burt's Bees Beeswax Lip Balm with Vitamin-E & Peppermint
Love love this product. I only wished they had some that contained SPF in them so I could wear it in the summer. It's the only product I will put on my child's lips (uncolored of course).

I really liked this product... but like a few other testers I was confused as to when I should be adding it in to my front loader washer. There isn't a compartment for it on my washer so I kind of just chucked a scoop in before I started. I have to wonder if this effects how well the product works....
However I did really like how well the product got the gray grime off my sons socks. I had kind of just accepted the fact that I should not buy a toddler white socks (maybe gray next time) as I could never get them back to white. I've tried using bleach before but found the smell so overwhelming and didn't like the idea of keeping it in my home where my toddler could potentially get to it. But when I used this product on his socks with a hot wash I found a significant difference in the shade of gray his socks had become. I would certainly buy this product again.
