As I have gotten older and had 3 kids to chase after I find my body has changed in so many ways, including how I sweat and smell. I have had a lot of issues with deodarants not working and would either cause a rash or give me horrible B/O (TMI I knkow, but this is a review - LOL).
I did like this deodarant - it was smooth to apply and had a nice scent. It did not give me a rash and most days did its job in keeping me fresh. There was no sticky feeling under my arms, however we did experience a couple of really hot days and I don't think the deodarant measured up to my current one in keeping the 'sweat smell' away.
If you are a person that does not sweat a lot or have sensitivities to certain products, then I think this product is great. However, if you do expereince issues with scents or your product reacting to certain products to allow for optimal 'scent coverage' then I don't think this is the right doedarant for you.

I have tried Facial Cleansing wipes in the past and swore I would never use them again as they have left my eyes red and irratated and I had to still wash my wash to remove my makeup as the wipes never took everything off. In all honesty I was expecting the same with these wipes. Boy was I wrong.
It only took one wipe to remove my make up, and didn't leave smudged mascara (or Racoon Eyes as they are reffered to) on my eyes. They are soft, smooth and have a mild 'signature nivea' scent. It did not irratate my eyes or cause them to water.
I would definetly recommend these wipes.

This product comes with a flip open cap which is great for traveling as it won't pop open and squeeze out all over your bag. The lotion itself has a nice creamy consistency which makes it easy to use and a mild pleasant smell.
I have very dry skin and after using this product for a week, my skin feels noticably smoother and brighter. This product is also great for removing makeup. As a stay at mom mom I don't typically wear a lot of makeup during the day (only a little) but with a wash cloth and warm water this product helps to remove my makeup quickly while leaving my skin nice and soft.

Just like the lotion in this line I did not like the Shower-Gel Cream either...The consistency was very thin and I found I had to place handfuls of the product in my hand to rub on my body in order to get it to coat....and at $16.95 a bottle this would not last very long at that rate.
The smell really got to me. I did not like it at all and reminded me of something my grandmother would smell like. It did not moisturize and left me feeling greasy. I would not ever buy this product and was very disappointed given Vichy's reputation and the success I have had in the past with a couple of their other products.

I have never used a replumping product in my life. My lips are very rarely dry but extra moisture is always a good thing, so I was excited to try this, especially given the cost of the product (one I would never spend on my own).
I did not like this product at ALL....Instead of plumping and softening my lips it left a greesy feeling and a gross taste in my mouth. It rubbed off very easily which in turn I guess contributed to the 'non - plumping' I experienced.

I have dry skin with eczema on my arms since I was a child, so I constantly have to moisturize to keep flare ups from happening. I found this product to smell very strongly of perfume and the scent does not go away. I did not like the smell at all and wanted to wash it off (reminded me of an old lady..LOL). This left my skin feeling sticky and was looking forward to actually washing it off.
Being the company that it is and the cost of this product I expected a lot more. I have more success with products I buy at the drug store that are a fraction of the cost.

I finally tried the Kirkland Baby Wipes after lots of my friends had told me that they loved them. I must admit that I am really enjoying them - they are not thin and do not tear easily. There is no scent but unlike other unscented wipes I have tried I am happy that these wipes do not leave a 'poop' smell on my kids even though there is no scent. Price/quantity is comparible to other brands. I would recommend these wipes to everyone. -

As most moms know the cost of diapers and wipes are crazy....so when I was frusterated with the amount of money I was spending on wipes (even though I LOVE the brand I use), I thought I would try these as they were cheaper.
The price was the ONLY good thing about these wipes - but then I should have thought you get what you pay for. There is a slight smell in these wipes even though it says unscented but nothing strong at all. First off the wipe itself is not moist at all, its paper thin and you need about 10 to clean a poopy bum.
The worst thing I found was that after changing my kids it left an odor on them that smelled like they had a poopy bum still even though they didn't (and they are bathed daily)...It was gross, the stink was wierd almost like it wiped the poop off their bum, but the poop smell stayed on them...JUST GROSS!!!
I will never buy these again, I will stick to my regular brand and pay the extra to know it cleans their bums properly and doesn't leave a poopy smell.

I was so excited to be approved by Chickadvisor to review the new Canada Dry Blackberry Gingerale. I am a huge fan of regular Gingerale and it is really the only pop I consistanly drink, I picked up the free case from the store and brought it home to try.
The can is designed just like the regular gingerale can just with a nice purple colour to distinguish it from the original. The flavour itself is really good but definetly needs to be served as cold as possible (Ice is a must). You can definetly taste the blackberry flavour and it is good, however I find it to be VERY sweet. I can never finish a full can because it is just way to sweet for my liking. My husband however is HOOKED!!!! He absolutely loves it and does not want to drink regular gingerale at all. If you are like me and find this to be too sweet maybe mix it with a little club soda or for you drinkers out there....some Vodka LOL
From a price standpoint though...I think this is great...I found the cheapest price at my local Walmart - They are selling it at 2 for $8.00 (so $4.00 for a 12 pack - you can't go wrong at all).
All in all we will definetly be buying this again!!!
