This mask is meant for hair that is very dry, so if you have heat damaged or very frizzy hair, this may be good for you. The consistency is that of a thick cream, almost like pudding, so it doesn't feel greasy to the touch. However, if your hair is thin or fine, this can weigh it down somewhat. I do have to say, my hair did feel soft after using it. I tried applying it both as a hair mask, leaving it on for about 1 hour, as well as a conditioner which I rinsed off soon after shampooing. For my hair, I like it better as a conditioner, however, I still had frizz after using the product. I really bought this primarily because of the unique banana scent, which I thought would smell very sweet, like a banana popsicle. Although you can tell it is banana-scented, it smells too artificial to me and it's something I don't want lingering in my hair. Another downside is that my container didn't have any instructions on how to apply the product, so if a customer isn't aware of how to use a hair mask, it may not be put on correctly. My container was blue, but I'm noticing that there is now an orange one as well, which may have been updated with the info. I would make sure to check to see if they have included instructions. I did like that you get 500ml of product, which will last quite a while, however, I won't be repurchasing it again when I'm through with it. There are better masks for my hair type out there. -

I used these roasting pans for so many years and they still look brand new, without a scratch or dent on them! I usually use this cookware for roasting turkey or pot roast and the meat turns out so tender, mainly because both the lid and shape of the pan help contain the heat and moisture. Great for braising too. It's an essential piece to have in the kitchen and for any home cook. Makes a great gift that will last for such a long time, so you really get your money's worth. -

The reason I purchased this eye shadow palette was because it was very inexpensive, had lots of shades and they were all wearable colours, which I felt would be great for everyday wear. The case itself is pretty sturdy and it comes with 4 sponge-tip applicators, which I don't use. I prefer my own brushes, however, if you're travelling, these still could come in handy. The consistency is average. It's a little on the powdery/chalky side but it still applies pretty well, without too much fallout. The pigmentation is decent, although some of the darker shades are more pigmented than some of the lighter ones. You also have a good range of highlighting and contouring shades. I do think it's a great palette for beginners and at the price you're paying, it won't break the bank if you do decide it's not working for you. I purchased mine for about 3 dollars, which is a real bargain. I do find myself reaching for some shades in this palette that I don't have anywhere else in my collection, therefore it's a nice addition that serves it's purpose. -

I received this product to try for free. My guilty pleasure when snacking has always been chips/salty snacks, which is why I was excited to try Pirate's Booty rice and corn puffs in the flavour, Aged White Cheddar. The puffs are baked, not fried, which is more health friendly and they are made with real, simple ingredients. Therefore, no artificial flavours or preservatives and they are gluten free, as well. The bite sized puffs just melt in your mouth and feel as light as air. It's really easy to get addicted to. The flavour of the cheese is present, but it's more on the subtle side. I would have liked it to be more pronounced, though. I did, however, appreciate that you get a good amount for each individual portion (28g). It may seem like a small number, but there are so many pieces in the bag to keep you satisfied. Not too messy either. I would consider purchasing this in the future and I do hope to try other flavours as well. -

I received this for free as part of the Product Review Club. Removing makeup and dirt is a breeze with this micellar water. It's a very gentle formula but it's tough on even the heaviest of makeup. The only thing it didn't remove for me was waterproof mascara, but I use coconut oil for that, so I didn't mind so much. I used cotton pads, as directed, to wipe off the rest of my makeup and I didn't have to rub or struggle with removing it. It just came right off as I wiped. I kept doing this until I no longer saw any makeup on the pad. On average, I used 6 cotton pads to completely remove it all. My skin looked and felt so refreshed, hydrated and clean afterwards. There is a delicate scent to it, but it's hardly noticeable, making this gentle solution perfect for sensitive skin. I didn't break me out either, which is another plus for this product. This is just as good as more expensive micellar waters I've tried and I do want to continue purchasing it once I run out. Another amazing product from Nivea, and a brand I can really trust to do what it promises! -

I received this for free as part of the Product Review Club. This is a well thought out product, one that will multitask and make makeup application easier. As a moisturizer, it is hydrating and doesn't make my skin feel greasy afterwards. It goes on very smooth and absorbs well into my skin. The primer really helped in making my foundation look flawless and I didn't have any dry patches. It didn't break me out or clog my pores but gave my skin a soft finish. I also loved how sleek and chic the packaging looks. It makes me feel like the product is high end instead of a drugstore brand. I will definitely want to repurchase this when I run out. -

I received this for free as part of the Product Review Club. This is another great product from OxiClean. I used it as a leave-in treatment on heavier stains like spaghetti sauce, ink and cooking oil and would leave it to pre-treat for at least a few hours. The stains were completely gone after the wash. I tried it with both the cold and warm water cycles and it worked well for both. It also helped ring-around-the-collar disappear. The pump dispensed the product easily onto my clothes and I liked the foam texture, which I found it to be better than the spray varieties. This has been one of the best stain removers I've tried in a while! I found the best results were when I used it in conjunction with the OxiClean Colour Shield Stain Remover Powder. They pair very well together. -

I received this product for free as part of the Product Review Club. I was so glad to have been chosen to test this out. I'm a teacher and not a day goes by where my clothes are not stained with chalk marks, paint or the mysterious, chocolate pudding fingerprints that tugged on my shirt. Needless to say, my clothes are constantly in the wash and I have had to retire lots of them due to color fading because of constant washing. After trying OxiClean's Colour Shield on the same articles of clothing for multiple washes, not only did it remove stains easily and completely, but the colour of the fabric did not fade. I also noticed that my white clothes, especially the ones that had started to turn yellow, looked whiter after the very first wash. I can see this product helping me save lots of money in the long run since I won't need to update my wardrobe as much. The powder was easy to scoop and it didn't leave any residue on my clothes or in the machine either. This will continue to be part of my laundry routine for a long time to come! Very satisfied!! -

This nail polish line is great quality! The shades they offer are so pretty and there's a good variety to choose from. The polish applies very smoothly and the brush makes it easy for it to glide on the nail without too much effort in getting it to look perfect. I usually put on two coats and I find it doesn't take long for it to dry between each one. It's also very long lasting and I usually get a good 4-5 days of wear before I start to notice any chipping. I also love the shape of the bottle. It looks high end and fancy to me. I will definitely continue building my collection! -

I received this product for free to test out. I tried out the Mixed Berries flavour and found that it had just the right amount of sweetness to it. As I mixed the yogurt, I got a good distribution of berries, unlike some brands where all of the fruit stays on the bottom. This allowed me to get the same flavour with every spoonful. I also appreciated the addition of "supergrains", specifically quinoa, chia seeds and buckwheat. It gave a subtle bite and texture, but most importantly, made me feel like I was eating something healthy for my body. The portion size is perfect for snacking or as part of a meal and I enjoyed the way the cup fit comfortably in my hand, making it easy to consume. The only thing I might improve is the tangy aftertaste of the yogurt. I'm not sure if it was just my palate that noticed this, but I like my yogurt to be sweet, not tangy. Other than that, this was a very good snack! -
