I was very happy to try out product.
After using this product the first time I figured out how my hair stylist gets my hair silky smooth every time I go to the salon - now I can get this salon look at home!
I don't dye my hair but I do blow dry it and flat iron it, and with the dryness of winter my hair doesn't like to cooperate!
I used it a couple of times without involving my regular shampoo and I did find my hair got oily slightly faster then with my regular shampoo but my hair never became frizzy nor did it give me any problems when straightening or blow drying my hair, it stayed smooth.
I decided to use my regular shampoo again to see how long the effects of this intense repair lasts. The results for me last a full week. If I use this treatment 4 times a month, my hair will stay silky smooth using my regular shampoo in between which is fantastic.
If you have dry or frizzy hair I would recommend this product.

I've been using the Oral B Pulsonic since I received it through the product review club. (I was using the Oral B BrAun and previous to that a manual toothbrush.)
Benefits:
- Easy to Use
- 2 speed settings
- Cleans better than a manual toothbrush
- retains charge for a long time without being plugged in.
- Brush head is the same as a manual brush if that's what you like!(Most electric toothbrushes have a round head like the dentist)
- Nice slim design
- Precision tip an excellent addition.
- Kept teeth white
- Reduced plaque
Downside:
- I could only use it on the sensitive setting even though I don't have sensitive teeth or sensitive areas. The "Clean" setting was just too powerful.
- The brush head is the same as a manual brush, I prefer the little round head on an electric toothbrush
- Doesn't reach back teeth as well as the BrAun.
I have been using this brush instead of my usual electric toothbrush and I have to say that though it is a very good toothbrush and does a much better job than a manual brush at cleaning, I still prefer my Oral B BrAun because I can use it on a stronger setting and it's smaller brush head helps me reach the back of my teeth a little easier. That said, I will continue to use the Pulsonic for the precision tip, it does a great job and I'm really impressed with that particular feature!

Baléa shave gel was on sale last time I was at Shoppers Drug Mart so I thought I'd give it a try. Awful. The foam you get from the gel is thin and doesn't stay on your legs (unlike a Skintimate or Satin Care which lathers and protects your skin) You have to use so much of it in order to get any kind of layer over your skin.
I definitely will not be picking this up again!

As part of the product review club I received three flavours - Blackberry Blueberry, Strawberry Lemonade and Fuji Apple Pear.
I started with the Blackberry Blueberry - it was alright.. didn't love it, didn't hate it. The next day, moved on to the Strawberry Lemonade. This one was my least favourite, it tasted like lemonade that wasn't properly mixed, I honestly would have preferred to be drinking just straight water and lemon without the strawberry. The last one I tried was the Fuji Apple Pear and this by far was my favourite. It actually tastes fantastic, not too sweet, didn't taste watered down and left a good aftertaste. If I ever purchase any of these, it will 100% be this flavour!
Maybe I'm just used to other vitamin waters which taste a lot sweeter, more like juice than this, so it could just be my taste buds!

I received this as part of the product review club and I'd never tried Febreze plug ins before (though I've tried other brands) Of the two scents I reviewed, I personally preferred the Morning Walk & Cleansing Rain scent. That said, like the other scent I had to keep this on low.
The scent fills multiple rooms leaving everything smelling fresh. It definitely masks odours because all I could smell was the frebreze scent. I put this one in my bedroom and I really enjoyed walking in after work to the scent. I'll definitely buy this as a refill.
I also really enjoyed the night light on it. Nice added touch.

I received this as part of the product review club and I'd never tried Febreze plug ins before (though I've tried other brands) While I loved the Lavender Comfort & Gentle Vanilla scent, I could only have the plug in set on Low. Putting it on high was far too overwhelming for my liking.
Even on low, it is very powerful. The scent fills multiple rooms leaving everything smelling fresh. It definitely masks odours because all I could smell was the frebreze. I will say that it was nice walking in the front door to the smell of the plug in.
I also really enjoyed the night light on it. I plugged one in in the bathroom and it was nice to have a small light in there in the middle of the night!

These pre-moistened towelettes are fantastic!!! You get 30 in a pack and if you buy at Walmart you get two packs of 30 for the price of one. The towelettes have a refreshing cucumber scent and contain cucumber extracts. One side has small microbeads on it to exfoliate and the other side is soft to just strictly cleanse. I have very sensitive skin and I've found to be gentle, it doesn't irritate my skin and it leaves it feeling smooth and soft.
These are great if you don't have time to get through your entire beauty regiment or when you travel because there is nothing worse than trying to take everything with you.
I would highly recommend this product.

I had a completely different experience with this deodorant. I was a devoted Dove user and I've switched. I have very sensitive skin and for the first time, I found a deodorant that doesn't irritate my skin, that I can use right after shaving and actually lasts the entire day!! It also smells fantastic. I find it to leave my skin feeling smooth!!
Not everyone has the same experience with products but if you do have sensitive skin or find you get razor burn I've found that this product really is gentle on the skin and helps solve the problem.

I got this product in a swag bag. A few weeks later I ran out of exfoliant so I decided to give it a try. It really is fantastic. The microbeads in the the cleaner are so fine that you barely notice they are there - it feels more like an AHA exfoliant. It has definitely improved the overall look of my skin and kept it smooth and soft. I will continue to use this product in combination with a regular daily cleanser. For it's price range I would say it's very high quality. -

I use both this eye make up remover and the gentle eye make up remover. This eye make up remover does really well with dark shadows, dark eyeliners and waterproof mascara. It is a cream base which I like more than the oily based waterproof mascara removers. It leaves your eyes moisturized but not greasy. I prefer the consistency of the gentle eye make up remover but this one has its purpose with the tough stuff and I am a believer in it. -
