I tried the Mediterranean chicken fresh inspirations. I do prefer cooking from scratch and I'm lucky enough to have time for that, but I wouldn't mind having a few Lean Cuisine Fresh Inspirations in the the freezer for a quick meal now and again. I thought this product was superior to other frozen microwavable meals I have tried in the past. I prepared my meal according to directions and chose to mix all of the chicken and sauce with the pasta. But it is nice to have the option of eating the meat and sauce and pasta/vegetables separately if you so desire. I think the separate steaming helps the pasta and veggies retain their nice texture. I liked that the chunks of chicken and vegetables were a good size and amount. The vegetables were flavorful and tender crisp. The chicken also tasted like real chicken and was tender, not mushy or dry . I can also say the same for the pasta. The meal was also visually appealing. I confess that when I opened the package, I thought "this is pretty small, it doesn't look like a lot of food" but it turned out to be just the right amount. -

For several years now I have been mostly using body washes and liquid soaps but I was interested in trying out this bar soap. I love the fresh delicate scent. My skin didn't feel tight or dry after washing with it, in fact my skin felt silky soft. I even used it for shaving and it worked great.

L'Oreal Professionnel Intense Repair Masque
This repair masque worked really well on my dry damged hair. The texture was very thick and I found that I only needed to scoop out a small amount to work through my hair. I was happy with the results.

I didn't care for the smell of the shampoo in the bottle but once I washed my hair with it, I thought it left a quite pleasant scent in my hair. The shampoo got my hair clean, and combined with the masque It did leave my hair smoother and less frizzy. The bottle size is smaller than I'm used to and depending on the price, I'm not sure how I feel about the value. My hair is very dry and the shampoo/masque left my hair less frizzy than it usually is after a washing. -

I loved this product. I was lucky and got it free through a facebook offer and I was very much looking forward to trying it. I usually wax my upper lip, but I'm not crazy about it. I have tried other hair removal creams and didn't like them due to smell, effectiveness and the redness and irritation left behind. With the Olay, you first apply a skin gaurding balm. It has the look and feel of a lipstick, and it's very easy to apply. Next you put on the hair removal cream, and leave it for 6 to 8 minutes. I was pleasantly surprised that there was no strong overpowering odor. It was quite pleasant , and the whole process is very quick. When the time was up I removed the cream with a cotton ball and rinsed the area well. I was really pleased with the results.It actualy removed the hair,all of it. I had a small patch of redness where I must have missed with the skin protecting balm. Other than that, no redness or irritation. This is what I will be using for facial hair removal from now on. -

I had to add my 2 cents worth on this yogurt. We love it! this is all we buy now. In the past I have never been brand loyal when it comes to yogurt, buying whatever happened to be cheapest or on sale. But this yogurt is so creamy,and delicious and heavenly! Theflavours are so natural tasting. It is more like a dessert than a yogurt. -

I have to add my review of this product, and recommend it to anyone with eczema or dry problem skin. I have used cetaphil cleanser for years, it's a brand that Itrust. When I saw this product I knew I had to try it for my daughter. She has eczema that flares up from time to time, especially in her inner elbows. The itching drives her crazy and the redness looks awful. We have tried many different creams and lotions for her with not much success. Even the ones specifically for eczema didn't seem to make much difference. Some even seemed to make it worse. She was having a flare-up so I bought this along with the restoderm moisturizing wash. Ihad my daughter use the wash in her shower, and rub in the lotion at bedtime. The lotion didn't sting the red, raw skin so that was good. The next morning her skin looked much better. And in a couple of days the redness was completely gone. I almost want to call it a miracle, it worked so well. She is also prone to dry red chapped hands in the winter...it worked great on her hands too! -

I guess this is just sandpaper. I really wanted to try this, specifically for my face (upper lip) It did actually remove some hair, but it left my skin very red, with a burning sensation. And the redness lasted several days. Not worth it, I threw it out. Maybe facial skin is way too sensitive for this product. I didn't bother trying it on my legs. I imagine it would be very time-consuming, sandpapering a large area like a leg, even if it did work. I think I'll stick to waxing. -

I was quite impressed with the Garnier Fructis Colour Shield Instant Colour Sealer. I got to try it out as part of a package...hair colour, shampoo, conditioner and colour sealer. The products all worked well together as part of the "system" I used the colour sealer after my hair was freshly coloured, after washing hair and also on dry hair. The colour shield was light and easy to use. I found that a little bit goes a long way. I've nerver used a product like this before and I feel that it has indeed, helped my colour to remain fresh looking and shiny. Also, it's very helpful in smoothing frizzy hair. -

I liked the whole system of shampoo, conditioner and colour shield. The product had a pleasant scent. My hair colour appears to be holding up well after several hair washes. The colour looks shiny and natural. I use a little colour shield in my dry hair on my days that I don't wash my hair. It does a great job of taming the frizz and keeping my hair looking shiny, smooth and natural. I will certainly buy this in the future. Also, with the colour shield, a little goes a long way so you really get your money's worth.. -
