I purchased the Colgate Extra Clean toothbrush in the soft texture. On the very first use, the bristles still felt a little stiff but it did feel better with repeated use. It didn't irritate my gums either. I do like the shape of the brush head for cleaning most of my teeth but I found it to be too big for my back teeth. This could vary according to everyone's individual mouth shape/space but for me, personally, it could have been smaller. In general, the toothbrush does the job and is worth picking up when it's on sale. -

This toothpaste is both very pleasant to use and effective. It calmed my tooth sensitivity right after I used it but the best result was with repeated use. It also tastes great. Not overly minty but your mouth feels so fresh afterwards and it did give me the feeling of a really clean mouth. I also liked how the gel-like toothpaste easily brushed onto teeth and rinsed out easily. It's easy to dispense from the tube and I don't need to use a huge amount to get the desired results. I will certainly repurchase. -

If you like peanuts and loads of them, then this protein bar is for you. I, on the other hand, didn't care much for it. It was a one-note flavour - you guessed it, peanuts. Even though there was a layer of chocolate underneath the bar, all I could taste were the peanuts. This also made for a very dry-tasting bar. There are also bits of dried cranberries and some sunflower and flax seeds, but not enough to make a difference. The bar also crumbled on me as I was eating it. In terms of ingredients, I would prefer that palm oil not be in there. Overall, I don't think I'll be repurchasing this. There are healthier and more flavorful bars out there. -

I enjoyed the feel of this lotion as it was very easy to absorb into my skin and didn't feel greasy at all. The formula is very hydrating, which makes it perfect for when my skin gets super dry. After just one use, it felt rejuvenated and soft. The smell was also quite pleasant. The only reason I gave it a rating of 4 is because it does include parabens, otherwise, it would be perfect. -
Hask Placenta Plus with Olive Oil

I'm not too impressed with this conditioning treatment. The scent wasn't at all pleasant for my taste. It smelled like a mixture of olive oil and some weird chemical. It's not too overwhelming, but it's not something I want my hair smelling like either. It also contains parabens, which goes against their "natural" claim.
The conditioner is meant to be used as a mask treatment but since I have fine hair, I used it as a regular conditioner instead. I noticed that if I applied it to the roots and scalp, it left my hair feeling oily once I dried it. Therefore, I could only use this on my ends and only a dime size amount. The other thing I didn't like is that the product comes packaged in a packet much like the ones shampoo samples come in, which you have to cut open. It's convenient for a one time use but for those who want to use it multiple times, it can become messy to try and squeeze out the conditioner while you're washing your hair. They should consider bottling the product instead, which will probably make it more cost efficient than having to purchase individual packets every time. The only advantage I can see with purchasing these packet formats, is if you'll be travelling.
Although it left my ends soft and manageable, I will not be purchasing this again, especially not in this scent. There are also better conditioning treatments that are more natural than this claims to be.

I received this product for free as part of the Product Review Club. The Becel salted sticks are very convenient to use, seeing as they are premeasured and already softened, making them the right choice for baking or cooking, in general. The taste is not too salty and I did feel like I didn't have to add too much extra salt to the meal because this already gave it some flavour. It spread very easily on toast and I also used it to grease pans when baking in the oven. No need to wait for it to get soft at room temperature, therefore it saves time in the kitchen. I will be purchasing this again in the future and hope to try the unsalted variety, as well. -

I received this product for free as part of the Product Review Club. I really enjoyed how versatile this oil was. I used it in both savoury and sweet recipes and they all turned out great. It has a light flavour so it doesn't impact or compete with the end result too much. I also appreciate that it has a high smoking point, which made frying foods easy and it also didn't make my food smell heavily fried either. This had avocado oil blended in, with the added benefits of Omega 3, which is something that would attract me into buying it, as a consumer. However, I would have preferred a different oil other than canola, for health purposes. With that being said, if I ever need to purchase a canola oil in the future, I would probably opt for this blend, instead of just a regular canola oil. It's good, overall. -

I find these Snapea Crisps to be tasty and not too salty for my liking. I appreciate that they are a source of fibre and less fatty than potato chips, but I do think they should still be considered in the same family as potato chips and not purely peas. I wouldn't be opposed to purchasing them again, as they are pleasant and light to eat, however, healthwise, I'd rather stick to eating actual peas and getting unprocessed nutrients there. -

I received this product for free as part of the Product Review Club. I've tried other makeup wipes in the past, but after trying the Neutrogena All-in-One Cleansing Wipes, these are now my favorite. I used one wipe (front and back) to remove lightly applied makeup. I did need two for heavier makeup, but the end result was a clean, refreshed looking face. The wipes removed the makeup gently without the need to rub over and over again. Waterproof mascara took a little more effort but eventually came off. I did apply a toner with a cotton pad afterwards and noticed that there wasn't any residue left so these cloths really do the job of cleansing your skin. I like how soft the cloth felt against the skin and did not irritate it. The cloths themselves are of a good size, however, I would like a better way of sealing the packaging, as the resealable sticker eventually curls up and opens, making it possible for the cloths to dry out. Other than that, great product. I'll definitely purchase these again, especially when I need to travel. -

I received this product for free as part of the Product Review Club. This Neutrogena gel cream is a very interesting product. It's a face moisturizer, without really feeling like your typical moisturizer. What I mean by this is that as soon as you rub the gel onto your skin, it instantly disappears. My skin did not have any dampness or tackiness afterwards, like typical moisturizers will do. This makes the Neutrogena gel cream perfect for applying before makeup. There is no wait time for your skin to dry, therefore it's great for when you're in a rush and need to apply makeup quickly. It did keep my skin feeling soft and got rid of some minor dry patches. The scent is very light, almost unnoticeable, so it's great for people sensitive to scents. It's on the expensive side for a drugstore moisturizer (almost $20) so I'm not sure if I'll make it a regular repurchase. I will keep it in mind, though, as being a great product and if the occasion fits, I wouldn't mind using it again. -
