I received this product for free in exchange for my honest opinion. The Air Wick Scented Oil Starter Kit is the perfect way to make your home smell wonderful. You just attach the essential oil bottle to the plug-in compartment and then to your electrical outlet. Just leave it be and enjoy the lovely scent as it fills the room. I tried Crisp Linen, which smells very clean and light. I also love that the fragrance wasn't overpowering but it did manage to last a long time. The warmer is also aesthetically pleasing and fits with any decor. I would definitely consider purchasing this kit in the future. Excellent product! -

I received this product for free as part of the Product Review Club. This is my first experience trying a matcha green tea and I am very impressed! I do drink regular green tea on a daily basis and the matcha, for me, was a step up. I found it to have a more pronounced taste than regular green tea, but is still delicious. I tried it as is, with only boiling water, as directed, as well as with some milk to make it into a matcha latte. Both options were great. The little pre-portioned packets make this very convenient to bring along with you to work and it's a mess free process. Nothing to measure, just drop it into a mug and pour in the water. I also liked how easy it was to whisk together. There weren't any clumps, making the tea very drinkable. I will certainly be keeping my eye out for this in stores. I'm really glad I got to try it out! -

I received this product for free as part of the Product Review Club. I really enjoyed the experience of trying out this flavor of tea. I'm a fan of ginger so this was right up my alley. The first thing I noticed when I steeped the bag in my cup, was the wonderful, soothing aroma. It hinted at a spicy, sweet citrus mix. The flavor reflected those same notes and I really think the ginger and orange were made for each other, making this a very drinkable tea. I tried the tea both hot and cold (as iced tea) and loved both ways. It was the perfect tea to have after a meal and I felt that it made me digest well. I also liked how sturdy the tea bag was. There was no fallout of loose tea leaves floating in my mug. This is definitely a tea I would consider purchasing in the future. Great product! -

I purchased the original scent formula and really liked how fresh it smelled. The scent is rather prominent and I did smell it on my clothes afterwards. I especially love using it for my towels as it removes that musty smell they get after being washed constantly. I use about a quarter to half a cup, depending on how big the load is. The scented beads dissolve nicely in the wash. This does not act as a fabric softener, therefore, it's an added expense and basically, still does what a fabric softener would do in terms of adding scent. I purchased this because I had a coupon, but don't think I would purchase it at full price or regularly. Therefore, great product, but not something that's a necessity for me. -

This chamomile tea is by far the most soothing of its kind that I've ever tried. It has a light, smooth taste that makes it easily drinkable and the scent is calming, as well. I'm a regular drinker of chamomile tea, but this brand is top quality. The bag is of a generous size and I like that it comes attached to a string that is not stapled. It's also caffeine free, which is a great choice for drinking before bed. I like how sophisticated the packaging looks. Great for serving to guests. -

I really liked the results I got after using this facial cleanser. My skin felt refreshed and clean, not to mention very soft afterwards. The consistency is indeed of a gel but it also contains very fine particles that are meant to gently exfoliate as you are cleansing. The particles did not irritate my skin and I would describe the texture as being extremely fine, but still noticeable as you are massaging the product onto your skin. It rinses away very easily and it didn't leave any traces of particles. It lathers slightly but quite nicely for a gel cleanser and the scent was light but very pleasant. After immediate use of this product, my skin felt fresh and looked radiant. I did not experience any tightness or dryness afterwards. As it's meant for combination to oily skin, I was afraid that this would be too drying for me, but on the contrary. My skin felt like it was hydrated. I do have combination skin in my T-zone but also a few dry patches here and there. This kept my skin feeling and looking balanced. I will seriously consider repurchasing this cleanser in the future. Well done Nivea! -

I received this product for free in exchange for my honest opinion. I'm very pleased with what Activia has to offer with their Pure yogurt. I tried the plain flavor and was surprised at how good it tasted on its own. I usually find plain flavors a little too tangy for my taste but this one was delicious. I also tried adding a touch of honey to it and I really liked it that way, as well. The texture is super creamy and smooth, not too thick or runny either. I'm happy that this is an all natural product and it only just contains milk ingredients. That means, no added sugars or artificial flavors or colors. If you're looking into eating clean, unprocessed foods, then this is the yogurt for you. I don't think there's anything better on the market than Activia Pure. I'll definitely make this a constant staple to my diet! -

I've been using this laundry detergent for a few months now and have generally been pleased with the results. It does take out regular dirt stains and makes my clothes smell clean and fresh. The baking soda element probably helps with that. The scent of the detergent is more overpowering in the bottle than it is when the clothes are washed, so it didn't really bother me. Some of the more heavier stains like tomato sauce did require the additional use of a stain remover product, but the clothes did come out perfectly clean afterwards. Added bonus is the fact that you can wash with the cold cycle, making this product energy efficient, which does save you more money in the end. I bought the 50 load container on sale and have also bought the big 140 load container, which saved me more money. Good product that I'd purchase again. -

I'm a fan of Lay's chips in general and thought the Lay's Stax in the Original flavor would have been a good choice. In terms of the positive features, I liked how sturdy the chip was, which also made it great for dipping. Not too many crumbs at the bottom of the container either. The container itself is made of plastic which protects the chips inside, however, I did find that the lid required some effort to remove and the shape of the container made it a little difficult to reach your hand inside. I had to shake the chips out instead, which is probably better, anyway, if you'll be sharing with others. In terms of taste, I found the chips to be too salty. I was constantly reaching for a glass of water when eating these. However, I noticed that this occurred mostly with the chips at the top of the container. The ones closer to the bottom, weren't as salty. Now, this could have been a product "defect" or I had eventually become accustomed to the taste that it didn't come as a shock anymore. With that said, it's a decent chip, but not my favorite. I prefer the regular Lay's chips to these but the Stax are still good for dipping. The dip did offset the saltiness so it did taste better this way, for me. I'm not sure if I'd repurchase them, though. -

I received this product for free as part of the Product Review Club. The CND Vinylux Weekly Top Coat was a breeze to use. I applied it over a nail polish from the same product line, which I got for free to test out. The top coat went on smoothly without smearing the nail polish underneath. It didn't create any air bubbles, which I sometimes struggle with when it comes to some of the top coats I own. The shine was amazing and I really appreciated how well it dried. The manicure set quickly and I was able to go about with my work without having to worry about messing up my nail polish. As for wear time, I tested the nail polish without the top coat first and it lasted 4 days without chipping. With the top coat, it lasted 5 days, which is pretty good for the type of work I do with my hands. The only thing I would recommend is to have this in a clear bottle instead of a black one so that we can see how much product is left. However, I do understand that this may have something to do with the top coat's ingredients, as the instructions do say to keep it away from sunlight. There is also a warning to not make any skin contact with the product, therefore, you do have to be careful when applying it. Other than that, it's very efficient and worth the purchase. It is a little pricey for a top coat, but you do get what you pay for, so I'd definitely splurge on it. -
