Chapman's Original Canadian Maple Crunch Ice Cream
Of the four people who tried it only one of us found it to have any maple flavour. The vanilla ice cream was to be honest a little flat. There was not oomph to it. Very little maple flavour and no crunch. Kind of disappointing

The Degree spray does what it promises goes on dry and keeps you dry. I do tend to sweat quite a bit especially if I'm running around doing (not literally!) I put it on fresh after a shower Saturday morning and honestly didn't feel sweaty or moist in the underarms at all and it was a pretty busy day and lots of time spent in a hot kitchen. Sunday morning didn't feel the need to apply any additional coverage.
The scent is subtle and doesn't linger which is great because a strong scent sticking around would overpower any perfume or anything else.

A rather surprisingly light version of a ginger beer. The Canada Dry Premium Ginger Beer is almost completely clear of any colour no doubt due to the natural ingredients. A very light sweet taste comes through. The ginger itself not as overpowering as your regular ginger ale it self. I would suggest and did indulge in adding an alcoholic ingredient (rum in his case) as it made for a perfect drink with out being too strong. -
Mott's Clamato Reserve
I love me a good Caesar and believe that the spicier it is, the better so I was excited to try this new mix. Unfortunately, it didn't live up to my expectations. It had a bit of kick to it but not that hot. Texture-wise it was similar to tomato soup... +
I love me a good Caesar and believe that the spicier it is, the better so I was excited to try this new mix. Unfortunately, it didn't live up to my expectations. It had a bit of kick to it but not that hot. Texture-wise it was similar to tomato soup so it felt a little heavy for a drink. Apart from that, I couldn't tell the difference between this one and the regular Clamato so price-wise it isn't worth it. -

What I loved about this product is that it is tiny - the size of a mascara! So it's easy to throw into your makeup bag, or purse and perfect for when you walk into the bathroom at work and realize there is a bright grey hair sticking straight out! Super easy to use, quick swipe/brush through and pretty much a mess free application. You'd really have to mess it up to get the dye on you.
I'm a little hesitant about the price point - at $15 it's a little steep, for something that washes out immediately. But depending on just how long it lasts it would be worth it. It would be interesting to see if it will clump like mascara or dry out.
it really is perfect for a quick touch up, definitely to hit up all the strays but not a full cover up. And it is definitely easier than a spray. I'd definitely keep it around for an emergency

I chose the Mai Tai premade cocktail mix to try. The basic description of the flavor was pineapple and almond, and weirdly the almond was very predominant. I wasn't expecting the almond to come through but it was pretty tasty. Obviously you need to provide your own alcohol, which it helpfully tells you what you need- Rum in this case.
I liked that it is pre-mixed, for those of us that are a little too lazy to buy separate ingredients, and measure it up this is super easy. The basic recipe on the side of the bottle also makes for really easy mixing.
It was a little sweet, which I assume is what its supposed to taste like. I did have to add more rum than it called for -but that was personal preference.
All in all, its fantastic for the quick drink without having to do all the work yourself

I've tried a few dry shampoos, and while I haven't seen any huge difference in any of the brands there are a few smaller things that do make a difference.
The got2B has a great smell, a very summery fresh clean slightly sweet (fruity?) scent, which is great. It freshens the scent of your hair (which on occasion does not always smell great!) but it's not overpowering that it lingers all day (which I personally hate).
The bottle notes that it will remove the oil instantly - and yeah I have to say it really did. I don't know where it goes, but it definitely does disappear. It also added volume which is an added bonus.
Definitely would recommend as a between actual shampoos option.
My only issue was the price- regular price at the store I happened to be at was $11.99 - on sale for $5.99. Would I spend $13 on it...no. $6 might still be a little pricey since it isn't a very big bottle, and you can get bigger bottles for less money

I was very happy to have tried this for free through ChickAdvisor. I have to say, having used it a couple of times, I'm still undecided. I did recommend it, as I think it would be great on less stubborn grey hairs and possibly for people who are big on hair products as most of my issues stemmed from application
The concept is great- a quick and relatively easy way to touch your roots up between colors. I say relatively easy as it is a spray, and I personally couldn't figure out if closer meant that color hit your hair better, or if that is what caused the spray back (resulting in tiny spots on my hands!). That and I wasn't sure do I need to comb it through or assume that it was fine. I assume the box comes with some sort of instructions. I have stubborn greys...so the color didn't stick to some of them, again I wasn't sure if it was the application itself or the hairs.
Finally the more you sprayed - the weirder the smell....
All in all, I guess if I could master how to apply it would be great as an in-between fix.

Le Petit Marseillais White Peach & Nectarine Extra Gentle Shower Gel

First off I love the smell! I am normally extremely fussy about any scent I put on myself. I don't enjoy the strong smells and I really don't enjoy the lingering smell either. This is a delicious smell! Its the epitome of early summer fresh peaches and white nectarine but not over powering at all.
That said the scent doesn't linger once you "apply" and wash off its pretty much gone. A very faint smell on your skin but not enough that anyone could smell it.
I found it didn't lather or foam much when applied and maybe would have if I used a sponge.
That meant of course that it does wash off and doesn't leave that slightly filmy feel that most body washes do.
I can't say it improved my skin in any way but it did do its job of getting me clean!
