Got 55% off our first order. It was still $30 but I thought we’d try it. The items arrived a week later. We tried them 2 mornings after. Huge chunks of fruit that nearly destroyed my blender and even stretched my food processor to its limits. I wasn’t impressed. My teen thought they were ok. I went ahead and “paused” the account (couldn’t find the “cancel” section) even though we weren’t schedule to have more for another month. Low and behold, I get an email saying “thanks for your second order”. I checked my credit card and they had billed my card the day after we received our first order. I have no idea what is coming or when. Contacting them was a joke. I finally cancelled everything (after a long search to find out how) but now every piece of subscription information has disappeared (including my cc info) It shows I paid for a second order but nothing says when it is coming. Customer service repeats the same line “sorry but...” IF these things show up, I’m stuck with 15 unpleasant stupid “smoothies” at nearly $100. BUYER BEWARE! -

We received this as a product test.
My 13 year old daughter has mild to moderate acne. She tries to be very diligent with her skin care routine but sometimes she has breakouts, no matter what she does. The first couple of times she used this product as a mask. She said it stung her skin and she didn’t leave it on as long as the instructions say. She decided to use it instead as a regular cleanser and is thrilled with the results. It does not sting and has cleared up her breakouts significantly. Her face is not drying out and the tone and texture of her skin has improved noticeably. Definitely a product we will purchase when this container runs out.

I received a trial of this product to review. I have dark brown hair that I colour on a regular basis to cover the gray and silver streaks that are coming through. I was excited to try this product!
First thing I noticed is no instructions on how to use it. I mean, pretty straightforward but still. Beyond the warning to "SHAKE WELL" on the front of the bottle, there are no other directions to use. So. I shook well. I first sprayed in a burst fashion but that caused the product to actually drip from the tip, onto my skin and bathroom sink. It stains. Not impressive. So I covered my shoulders with a towel and tried again, this time using longer sprays. It covers fairly easily and well enough to satisfy me. I didn't go for total coverage....I just wanted to try it quickly....but I think it will work well for when I want coverage between colouring. Would I actually go out and buy it (I believe it retails between $15 and $20 locally)? Undecided, only because I am not thrilled at having the stain marks on my skin where the product dripped. I really didn't need more freckles. The application is direct but a little messy which I why I gave it 3.5 stars in Quality.
(I did upload 2 files but only 1 is showing. That is the "After" look. I did have approximately 1" of gray/brown showing at my roots.)

Veet Ready to Use Wax Strips

I don't know where to begin. I have used wax strips for years on my upper lip. Loved the Nair Soft Touch green apple glitter strips. But they are hard to find anymore. I bought a big box of the Veet face & bikini strips, thinking 'How different could they be?" Ummmm....WAY different! The wax is hard and takes a lot of rubbing the strips between your hands to make it pliable. Sure, it rips out the longer and thicker hairs with ease but leaves the finer hair behind. The after waxing wipes are hard and hurt when you use them over the sensitive, newly waxed skin. Not to mention they do not stay moist at all. So 2 wipes per box just isn't enough. I waxed yesterday and today used a honey mask...and it burned over the waxed area! Never had that happen with the Nair product and this same mask! So. I am done with Veet products. I will grow a hairy lip if I have to. -
Mott's Fruitsations +Fibre Unsweetened Raspberry
We were able to try both Tropical and Raspberry flavours. While the raspberry was good, the Tropical flavour had a more appealing taste. What I love is that the kids get that extra boost of fibre....and like it ;-)

It took a while to find these - not all stores carry the + Fibre version - but when we did, we all loved it! We sampled both the Tropical and Raspberry flavours but much preferred the Tropical. I am not a fruit-sauce lover. But this was tasty and the consistency was much nicer than normal sauces. The Tropical is unsweetened but the natural flavours keep it sweet enough without needing to add anything else. Its an easy and convenient snack that I don't mind my kids grabbing at any time. Nice to know there is a little added fibre as well! -
Arm & Hammer Slide Easy Clean-Up Clumping Litter (Multi-Cat)

It took a bit for me to find this in the local stores but finally did. I set up 2 litter boxes for our over-sized cat - 1 with his regular soft paper litter and the other with Arm & Hammer Slide. He is pretty finicky about what he puts his feet and his feces into and has been known to do his business outside the box when the litter hurts his precious toes. So I was a little apprehensive about the Slide litter as it has a fine granular consistency. Well, the cat surprised me. 5 days in and the only box he has used is the one with the Slide in it! So far, so good! It is easy to scoop, seems to be excellent on keeping the odor down, I certainly do not need as much of this as I do of the paper litter, and it isn't sticking to the sides or bottom of the litter box. I was very skeptical but am quickly becoming impressed.
The only real con I see so far is the price. The 6.4 kg box goes for around $15 (which seems steep to me) while the 12.7 kg is $23. I figure I should get one more litter pan out of the smaller box whereas my $20 bag of recycled paper litter lasts about 6 fills. So I am on the fence about whether or not I would buy it for our next time. We will see what cat thinks after the next fill :-)

I have to admit, I was very skeptical before I tried this. But I have rosacea and sensitive skin and most make-up removing products/cleansers are very hard on my skin. So I purchased three of these - 1 for me and 1 each for my 2 daughters. I was shocked the first time I used it. Straight warm water, no rubbing, and all of my make-up (even the waterproof mascara) was gone! I used a cotton pad with my usual micellar water and wiped my face. It didn't pick up any leftover make-up. While I still use a special cleanser alternate days, the make-up eraser is my 'go to' every day. Easy to clean, easy to use, and works very well! -

LOVE this stuff!! I used to colour with whatever happened to be on sale. Then I started going to the salon. However, having dark, dark hair and 1/4 sliver/gray meant I was in the chair more often than my bank account could handle. After my last disastrous salon visit, I decided to try doing it on my own and a friend recommended Inebrya Ice Cream. It took a little to get used to. I discovered it is best applied with a brush. Complete gray coverage. Easy to use. The product is thick enough to stay where you put it and covers well. It did not have any noticeable fading and left my thick coarse hair soft and manageable.
Just finished my second time with this product and am thrilled with the results, again!
The price makes this even better (under $15).

It is a pretty looking product but don't be fooled. I was only able to use this three times - the burning in my eyes made me stop. While it seems to have taken off all my waterproof eye make-up, it took over an hour for the irritation in my eyes to ease! Not only that, but it left an oily film and feel that I have never experienced with other waterproof eye make-up removers. No amount of shaking the bottle eased this experience, either. It says no greasy finish but that is not true. I even had my daughters' try it, thinking maybe I had a sensitivity to it. Nope...same problem. I am sorry Vichy. I love so many of your other products but this one was a bust :-( -
