I received the #IdealiaSkinSleep from Chick Advisor's Product Review Club.
I have acne prone, dehydrated skin.
First of all, the texture of the cream is so different from anything I've tried before - it's like a cross between a gel and a balm. I thought it might break me out, but it didn't at all! It has a really nice, light floral scent, not too strong. It soaks into your skin really quickly, and the next morning you wake up with INCREDIBLY moisturized, plump skin! Love it!

I received this as part of the product review club. As background, I wax regularly and I've uses both strips and microwavable wax. This is a microwavable wax that's supposed to ease some discomfort from waxing those sensitive areas!
ghr first thing I noticed was the scent. It actually smells nice - a little sweet with a hint if citrus. It comes in a microwavable container which I microwaved and used the spatula provided to spread it. It seems to be more spreadable than other waxes I have tried which is nice. I did find that it really wasn't as painful as normal and was very easy to remove. It removed hair very effectively although it took me a couple of tries to really get it down. The post waxing wipes were so moisturizing I just loved them. Overall, great experience!

Biore Deep Cleansing Pore Strips
Okay, I'm obsessed...i think it's all the gunk that you can see when you remove these. So satisfying! My skin feels nice and smooth after but I don't think it really truly helps in the long term. I tend to use them 1/week and I don't have a ton of... +
Okay, I'm obsessed...i think it's all the gunk that you can see when you remove these. So satisfying!
My skin feels nice and smooth after but I don't think it really truly helps in the long term. I tend to use them 1/week and I don't have a ton of black heads on my nose, but I don't find it does a great job on the sides of my nose. If I could find a cheaper alternative, I so would jump on it.

It's insane!!! First of all, the texture is like perfectly cooked rice...every time.

Flavour is good, texture is great and they have some healthy options as well. Winner!

The prices would be okay if you were getting an expert in waxing, which is what you think because that's all they do, right? Umm no. I tried 3 different people and not one of them did a great job.
Then, they go and cancel one of my appointments without even telling me, which I hear has happened to other people as well. REALLY?!
Save your money and go somewhere else that's better and less expensive and has better customer service.
They can use a lesson in aesthetics and customer service.

I received a coupon to try this product through the product review club.
I purchased the garlic chicken with vegetables flavour. I'm not one for frozen dinners so I had low expectations. I liked the convenience of this and also that it was slightly healthier. The good news is that the veggies were crunch and tasty. It wasn't dry at all. I didn't really like the sauce and I found it a little salty but it was better than expected!

I received these as part of the product review club to try.
First things first, I thought the price was a little high for only 5 bars but I was excited to try them because I love quinoa and I'm always looking for healthier granola bar options.
When I scanned the list of ingredients, I was a little disappointed to find so much sugar and processed items in the product and it didn't have as much protein as I was hoping it would.
The taste was great, can't go wrong with chocolate and the texture was great, nice and crunchy!
If I was looking for a treat I would rebuy, but if you're looking for a healthy snack, I would probably pass.

Now, I've never been into the whole Flushable Cleansing cloths, I just didn't get the concept,although I loved the TP!
I have to say these were quite nice and think, the felt moisturizing and refreshing, however they did dry out quite quickly and would be too bulky to carry around with you. I'm not sure I would use them again as I don't love that wet feeling but I can see how some people would like it!

I received three flavours to review: Fuji Apple Pear, Strawberry Lemonade and Blackberry. First things first, I'm a big water drinker so I was excited at the possibility of getting my daily water in-take in the form of a slightly flavoured drink.
I found that all three had a slightly artificial taste and were overly sweet, especially Fuji Apple Pear. I do like that I can get my vitamins and water intake at the same time, but I would not purchase these on a regular basis. I would prefer a more lightly flavoured and much less sweet drink, or else, sweeten my drinks myself.
