I used Nestle Good Start formula with my baby on the advice of my doctor - it is recommended for families that deal with allergies and recent studies have shown that other formulas can trigger allergies in babies. We have had no issues with gas or fussiness. Would highly recommend, especially for families with a history of allergies!

I was fortunate enough to receive my labels as part of the Product Review Club.
I ordered the Little Kid Combo Pack, and popped them on my son's stuff right away. They were really easy to apply, and so far, they seem to be holding up pretty well to the rough life of a three-year old!
What impressed me the most was how fast they were shipped out and got to me - it was literally a couple of days, super fast!
The only thing I didn't like was the lack of selection in design/colours. When I have ordered from other companies I was able to pick from a wide range of designs and customize the colours. BUT - that is probably why Mabel's Labels are able to ship so fast!
Overall, I would recommend them :)

I received this product for free from the Product Review Club. I was already a fan of CeraVe products before receiving this, and was very excited to try it. After two pregnancies, my tummy is covered in stretch marks.
The thing that I loved the most about the stretch mark cream was the consistency - thick, smooth, and not at all greasy. I started to use it daily on my belly, and saw changes within a couple weeks. The biggest change was the moisture level in my skin - it is smoother and obviously well-moisturized now - it;s a great heavy duty moisturizer that would work well for sensitive skin, with or without stretch marks.
The big question was whether there was a change in my stretch marks - and there was. It was not a huge change, and it definitely will not make your stretch marks disappear, but they did lighten them and smooth them somewhat, making them a little less pronounced. So, in my books, that is a big win!

I was chosen to review the CeraVe Bebe DIaper Rash Cream through the Product Review Club. I was already a fan of CeraVe products for myself before receiving this product, and it did not disappoint. I have been using it on my toddler and newborn for the past couple weeks, and it works great.
What I like the best about it is the texture - it's thick but not paste-like or sticky. It feels thick and rich, and coats skin easily. It is fragrance free, and works well to soothe and prevent irritation and rash.
Unfortunately, the kids did not have any major flare-ups during the test period, so I do not know how well it works with severe diaper rash - maybe it works too well in preventing it ;) Highly recommend this cream for all the mommas out there!

I received this product for free from the Product Review Club.
I have used CeraVe products in the past and have always been impressed with them, and the eye cream was no exception.
One little thing that I really liked is that the cream is in a tube, as opposed to a pot - good for travel, and easy to squirt onto your finger.
The lotion itself is thick without being greasy, and is fragrance free.Most importantly, I noticed a change when using the cream regularly (once a day). I noticed a big change in the bags/puffiness under my eyes within a few days. There was a smaller, but still noticeable change in the dark circles (although as a mom with a newborn, it can't be expected to work miracles ;)
Overall, it's a great product at a great price-point that delviers results.

Initially, I was a little bit choked to spend this much money on a breast pump (at the time, not knowing anything about breastfeeding and pumping), but quickly grew to appreciate it. I tried a single electric as well as a manual pump and they did nothing compared to the Medela double pump. I struggled with low milk supply and ended up having to pump after every feed for quite a few weeks - I don't think I would have been able to struggle through it without a quality pump like this.
It comes with a lot of great extras, like the cooler and ice pack (fits four Medela bottles perfectly for travel), as well as a car adapter and battery pack so I could pump on the go.
I did have to buy different size flanges, but they were affordable and easy to find.
This is a fantastic pump and well worth the money.

I received this product for free from the Product Review Club. I will say, it was ridiculously simple to install, with minimal tools and no direction from my hubby (although he was on standby if I needed him!) I actually had the tools needed (screwdriver) to install it, and it was done in under fifteen minutes.
Looks wise, I think it looks great. The biggest downfall now is that it makes my builder-quality brass doorknobs look even crappier than they did before, and have me itching to change them. The one con of the doorknob is the price - the doorknob retails for $49.99, which makes it a bit pricey to change all the doorknobs in the house, but it is obvious from the look and feel of the knob that it is durable and high-quality.
Looks fantastic in my house - I have attached a before and after photo of the doorknob.

I received this product through the Product Review Club.I am no stranger to cream blushes and cheek stain, and usually use Tarte's cheek stain (which is substantially pricier at approximately $35). I would say that GOSH's blush is comparable. Although the colour provided to me was a bit light, I did like it, and love the dewy look it gave me. It was easy to apply, was long-lasting, and is easy to throw in your purse to carry around for touch-ups.
I would definitely recommend it, and plan on buying another one in brighter shade to try again.

GOSH Mineral Powder
I received the GOSH Mineral Powder through the Product Review Club. It was easy to apply, and gave medium coverage. It was light and did not cause any breakouts. The only downfall of this powder was that it didn't last as long as I expected it to.
