I tried Adrien Gagnon Super Energex with optimism, but unfortunately, I felt the product fell short. I dislike the taste and do not find it effective. The first day I tried the ampoule with water and did not like the taste, it's not awful, but not something I would choose to drink. The second day I decided to mix it with orange juice and it wasn't as bad, but still not great. I tried mixing it with a few other drinks over the next few days, including smoothies, tea, and other fruit juices, but found the orange juice best masked the flavour. I can get over something tasting bad, but I also didn't find this at all effective. I have been especially stressed out and tired lately, so maybe that limited the effectiveness, but I did not find that these helped to increase my energy, resistance to stress, or fight fatigue and would not repurchase. -
Adrien Gagnon Decadent Fudge Nutriforme Bars

I use meal replacement bars from time to time, usually when I know I'm going to be very busy and will not have time to eat. I thought these were comparable to other replacement bars I've tried in taste, texture, and effectiveness, but a little pricier. I love chocolate, but found these too rich and filling for my taste. I realize these are meal replacement bars and are suppose to be filling, but I couldn't eat a whole one on my own, it was just too much. However, my boyfriend got my leftovers and absolutely loved them. I wouldn't have purchased these again, but my boyfriend liked them so much he already bought another box. They are definitely convenient. -

I really enjoy the flavour of Canada Dry's new Blackberry Ginger Ale. Great combination of flavours! The blackberry is not too overpowering and enhances the ginger ale. I'm a big fan of Canada Dry's Green Tea Ginger Ale, but I've got to say the Blackberry Ginger Ale is my new favourite. This is going to be one of my go to summer drinks, very refreshing. I will be purchasing another case in the near future (glad the case included a $2 off coupon). Highly recommend! -

I’ve never used a cleansing water before and was a little sceptical that it would do a good job cleaning without having to be rinsed off, but I was pleasantly surprised. It does feel like water, there’s no residue left behind on my face, and it cleanses my skin quite well. If I was wearing heavier makeup, it may not do as good a job and wouldn’t give me that deep pore cleasing I’d want, but for everyday use it works well. I often find toners are either ineffective or too strong for my skin, but the cleansing water was nice and gentle, effective, and left my skin feeling fresh. Great product! -

Great moisturizer! I love how lightweight this cream feels while keeping my skin feeling moisturized for hours. I have sensitive skin and this cream causes no irritation. I didn't notice a bad smell that other reviewers mentioned, on the contrary actually, I found the product seems very fresh with no discernible scent. My one small issue is that it is a little too light for night time moisturizer in the winter, but it doesn't have SPF which I like for daytime use. Still, I really like the way it feels and would repurchase. At first, it does seem a bit expensive for the bottle size, but a little goes a long way. -

These are by far the best makeup remover wipes I have ever used. The last review I wrote for make-up remover wipes I mentioned that I always feel like I still have to wash my face after using wipes, but I was so happy with these. Simple Micellar Make-Up Remover Wipes leave my face feeling completely clean and refreshed. Just as the packaging claims, there is no residue left behind and they really do remove waterproof makeup with just one wipe. These are everything I have been looking for in makeup remover wipes. I highly recommend this product and will definitely purchase again. -

Cetaphil Gentle Skin Cleanser
I love Cetaphil's Gentle Skin Cleanser. It's effective, but light and gentle. Amazing product for dry, sensitive skin. I highly recommend this cleanser!

I received a free pack of NIVEA 3-in-1 Gentle Cleansing Wipes from Chick Advisor. I find cleansing wipes rarely leave my skin feeling clean and unfortunately I didn't find these to be an exception. Rather than leaving my face feeling clean, I felt the wipes left my face with an oily residue. The wipes do take off the majority of my makeup, but I have to do a follow up wash to feel fully clean.
For eye makeup, I found the NIVEA Express Eye Make-up Remover much more effective at removing waterproof eye makeup and gentler on my eye area.
I wish the wipes were moister. Each wipe felt a little dried out when I went to use it. I'm not sure if that's how they are meant to be, if the packaging was letting in too much air, or if my house is just too dry.
I do have sensitive skin and these did not cause any irritation. I like the clean scent and the convenience of the wipes. I may purchase the wipes in the future if they were on sale.

I received a free bottle of NIVEA Express Eye Make-Up Remover from ChickAdvisor and am happy to say the product does what it says it will. Waterproof eyeliner and mascara are cleaned away quickly and easily. I like that I don't have to rub the makeup off, which means I don't have to remove my contacts before using, and it doesn't cause burning or irritation. It does leave my eye area feeling a little greasy, which I imagine is due to the hydrating ingredients, but that's something I think I could get use to given the benefits. I would recommend this product to a friend and would purchase again. -
