I received Softlips Luxe in Creamy Coconut for free as part of the Chickadvisor Product Review Club for free in exchange for my honest review.
I loved the Softlips Luxe balms! First off I found the packaging to be eye catching, I loved the bright base and the fact that you could see the product right through the tube, it even piqued the interest of some of my girlfriends right away when they saw it.
I really liked that this balm was shaped like a tube of lipstick, it made for easy and precise application.
Like Silky Shea, the Creamy Coconut scent wasn't overpowering, it had a very subtle coconut scent. It also didn't have much of a taste once it was on my lips, which I liked because I wasn't constantly licking it off my lips meaning it lasted longer until I needed to reapply.
I definitely found that it moisturized my lips and left them feeling soft and smooth. I will definitely be buying Softlips Luxe again in the future!

I received Softlips Cube in Berry Bliss for free as part of the Chickadvisor Product Review Club for free in exchange for my honest review.
I liked the Softlips Cubes, but definitely not as much as the Luxe tubes.
The packaging is fun, the little cube is different than most lip products. It was a bit bulky though for a smaller purse or clutch. I also wasn't a huge fan of the big dome type applicator, I felt like i was getting balm around my lips as I applied it.
I really loved the scent of Berry Bliss, it's very fruity, which I enjoy! I did find that it had a bit of a fruity taste when I wore it, because of this it didn't last as long as the Luxe tubes because I would be licking my lips more often.
It did leave my lips feeling smooth and moisturized, but because of the shape of the balm (packaging and the product) I probably wouldn't buy the Softlips Cubes again. I would love to see the Berry Bliss scent (maybe with less of a taste though) in the Luxe form!

I liked the scent of the Fresh Mint cube, but I wasn't really a fan of the taste. It was a sweet minty taste, but tasted like a fake mint. I really didn't like the taste of it, I don't really know how to explain it, but it was different from other mint balms I've tried in the past. Like the Berry Bliss I felt I was licking my lips more because of the taste.
It did leave my lips feeling smooth and moisturized, but because of the shape of the balm (packaging and the product) as well as the taste I wouldn't buy the Softlips Cube in Fresh Mint again.

I like pretty much every lotion Vaseline comes out with. I find they all work great at moisturizing my skin and don't leave me with that greasy feeling once it sets in.
The Intensive Care Cocoa is by far my favourite though, I'm not sure if it works any better or not than any of their other lotions, I find the ones I've used are always great. I just love the scent!! It's not too overpowering so it doesn't bother me throughout the day as some lotions do (usually flowery scents get to me), it's a lighter scent that smells delicious so I can use it all the time!

Personally I don't notice a difference in taste from the regular mayo, so why not lose some of the fat! I go through these jars pretty quick, I love making my own veggie dips and dressings and Hellmann's Light Mayo works and tastes great in them.

I've bought this item a few times, I swear each time I buy it I forget that I've used it before and that I wasn't a fan.
It does leave my face feeling clean and refreshed after using it, and my skin very soft because of exfoliating bits in it.
The issue I have though is that it definitely does not control blemishes for me. I actually find that I tend to break out more when I use it. I don't generally have sensitive skin, but this product has always given me problems.

My main use of Q-tips has always been for touching up my makeup, the precision tips are perfect for this! Same great quality of the regular Q-Tip brand, but the smaller tip works great for touch ups.
I'm always using these to with my eye-makeup as I apply it to remove the smaller imperfections without having to start over.

I received this item for free from the Chickadvisor Product Review Club in exchange for my honest review.
So I didn't really think the Adrien Gagnon Decadent Fudge Nutriforme Bars were anything to write home about. They were ok.
Now to give them credit, they are definitely filling. I found that I actually had trouble finishing an entire bar in one sitting. They did keep me satisfied from a hunger standpoint. I also liked the weight loss meal plan that was included in the box.
I really wasn't a huge fan of the taste, I wouldn't compare it to decadent fudge, it had more of a coffee flavouring, but off from coffee, I couldn't quite figure it out. I think the taste and texture were a part of what made it hard to finish. It was very heavy feeling, kind of thick, and had a weird texture, almost grainy (it had some crispy bits in it which were nice, it definitely wasn't these that gave the graininess, it was the chocolate itself.)
While they did keep me full they definitely don't fulfill that craving for chocolate since the taste and textures were off, because of this I probably wouldn't buy these again.

I received this item for free from the Chickadvisor Product Review Club in exchange for my honest review.
I definitely won't be buying Adrien Gagnon Super Energex in the future. I really was not a fan of these.
The first issue I had was the packaging, the product was in these plastic tubes that were attached in groups of five. They looked easy enough to separate / break apart, but when I tried the top ended up coming off of one so I had to use it right away (I was planning on taking one to work with me to try the next morning). They can be separated, I would advise using scissors.
Once I opened one of the tubes the smell had me wary. It definitely does not smell great, the colour is also off putting. It's this sluggish brown / green shade.
Definitely take these with juice!! The first time I tried one I used a glass of water. It did not taste anything like orange as the package indicated. It was horrible. After that I always drank it with juice. Juice helped mask the taste a little bit, but I still tried to drink it as fast as I could.
Last but not least, I really didn't find that it did anything for my energy levels. I'm usually tired throughout the day and exhausted in the evening, that didn't change at all over the few weeks I made myself try these.
I like to try find a positive in any item I use, with these I'm sad to say that I just couldn't.

I'm a huge tea fan so I was pretty excited to see this tea included as a gift with one of the recent Product Review Club packages I received! The first thing I noticed was the smell, this tea smells AMAZING! It has such a strong blueberry scent.
I enjoyed the flavour of this tea, when I used the recommended amount on the package (1.5tsp) it had a very light sweet taste. I find with most flavoured teas you do need to use a lot of the product to really bring out the flavouring, as a daily tea drinker I am aware of this, for someone new to flavoured teas you might be a bit disappointed. The amazing aroma of of this tea is a bit misleading. I found if I used more of the product I did get a stronger blueberry taste, I also found that adding a sweetener also helped develop the flavours as well.
I probably wouldn't buy this tea again, I did like the flavour, but to really bring it out you need to use a lot more than recommended which is not worth the price for me. I would recommend this to someone though that does not mind using more of the product to get the desired taste.
