To start- I'm not a fan of antiperspirants because they have tons of chemical junk that doesn't belong in or on our bodies, so for that reason I stick to deodorants. This one however is all natural. Awesome. Let's give it a whirl. Has a nice scent - it doesn't overpower or clash with any of my perfumes. I hate when that happens! It did keep me feeling fresh and dry- but for no where as long as they claim it can/does unless you're sedentary and not sweating or moving about. Realistically about 6 hours with normal daily tasks. In order to keep things natural (without chemicals) I'm willing to sacrifice a bit of effectiveness. I'll just reapply more often. 4/5

This cream is very lightweight and went on smooth. It didn't feel thick or greasy, which is something I can appreciate in any skincare. Clarins is a luxury brand, so with that I was expecting a wow factor. This did deliver on the fact it added a radiant glow to my skin. My husband said I looked like a mermaid lol As I mentioned before it's lightweight and non greasy, but it also did improve texture after a few uses. My skin felt softer. With that being said, as some other reviewers commented I wasn't crazy over the scent. I prefer unscented skincare.I do understand with certain plant based ingredients though it can have some scent to it. Overall great cream. 4/5.

I quite enjoyed this tea. At first look, the packaging is lovely. It just looks high end. The tea itself is very aromatic and fresh. I had a 500mL mug, and used about one heaping TBSP of tea in my steeper. Almost instantly the water went red, and the tea only took about 2 min to steep. It was not strong but it was somewhat tart. Keep in mind I like my tea plain with nothing in it. Overall 4/5

Wow does this polish work! My skin felt so smooth and soft after using this the very first time. The micro beads are so small that it's not aggressively abrasive. It had a nice foam to it when washing, and rinsed off clean. I love the acids in this because they're gentle and don't irritate my skin (which can be sensitive) but they work well enough to resurface your skin to keep that fresh, dewy glow. Overall I love this and I'll buy it again.

Normally I like Neutrogena products, but this one left a bit to be desired. To start, it felt very heavy/thick on my skin which I didn't like at all. It didn't absorb as quickly as I'd of liked, which made my skin feel a bit greasy for awhile. It did leave a bit of a shimmer, but I'm unsure if I'm going to use this as a daily moisturizer rather then a sunscreen under my makeup. I'd give it 3 stars because it did give a nice sheen and glow.

So this serum is pretty decent as far as brightening goes. I found it really helps with dark circles if you have them. I used it on my eyelids for a bit of highlight, even if it's not intended for that purpose. A little goes a long way, so product to money ratio is good. It did leave my face feeling more toned. Goes on very easily, and didn't leave a sticky film that some serums do I've found. I mixed a bit into my foundation for a nice glow which looked dewy and fresh. Overall great product.

I've used Neutrogena off and on for years. One of my favs is the Hydroboost. This cream has a very nice, light texture which I like because I can't stand heavy creams that leave my face feeling and looking greasy. I did however find this gel-cream to be stronger scented which I'm not sure that I like. I prefer subtle, if any, scents in anything I use on my face. It did deliver on the firming and smoothing aspects though and I like the numerous acids to help skin to keep that fresh look. Did brighten my skin too. Overall a very good product. 4 stars.

I recieved a full value coupon which I used to purchase the unsweetened tropical flavour.
I don't like giving my kids anything with added salt or sugar - there's enough of that in everyday foods already so adding to that is something I don't like to do.
My kids said these were "sweet and yummy!" as they inhaled them! There's also added fibre in these cups. Most kids (and even adults) don't get nearly the amount of fibre we should, so this is another great benefit to these.
Last but not least- I really admire that Motts helps fund the breakfast club of Canada to help children get that nutrition they need to start their day off right and fuel their bodies so they can learn better. I shall continue giving this company my business by purchasing these on a regular basis.

Recieved this awesome product to try courtesy of the chick advisor review club.
I literally recieved it in the mail two days before my menses. Talk about good timing.
I tend to get very bad cramping and my back hurts for the first few days of my cycle. My usual go to was acetaminophen (Tylenol) and a heating pad.
A heating pad is fine when you're at home, but when you're working or out and about you need something you can take with you that'll actually work- and this did the job perfectly. I had to take twice as many acetaminophen for the same result and it didn't alleviate my back pain whereas the Motrin does.
Totally recommend this and I'll keep buying this when I run out.

I had the pleasure of trying this product as part of the chick advisor review club.
I'll start my review of the scent: lovely yummy coconut scent. Enough said!
Effectiveness: I have dry hair so this did blend in nicely without making my hair feel more dry nor did it make it look greasy.
While it did freshen up my hair, I don't feel it's as effective as the dry shampoo. I think this would best be used as a light touch up, but not something you'd be able to use a few days in a row as it doesn't have that same level of effectiveness as dry shampoo. Overall 3/5 for this product.
