First I'd like to thank ChickAdvisor and Vim for choosing me to try out this product. I was very impressed with how well Vim Power & Shine Bathroom Spray cleaned my whole bathroom and kept it smelling clean and fresh. I was using four cleaning products plus Windex for my mirrors before I received this Vim to try. Just one try was enough to convince me to use switch to this bathroom clear for good! I have a husband and two sons that are in their early twenties that can be pretty hard on our one and only bathroom. Do to my health troubles; it can be hard for me to keep up to the mess the three of them make. My package arrived right when my bathroom needed cleaning the most so I was really able to put it to the test. You name it my guys had it all over our bathroom, from dried on toothpaste, and dried on shaving cream, to soap scum around the tub, shower walls, and all over the sink. They even left black grease in the sink after they washed their hands from who knows what. Yes my guy's are complete and utter slobs when it comes to the bathroom! So you can imagine cleaning the bathroom isn't a job I'm thrilled to have. I’ve tried a lot of bathroom cleaning products and I admit I was sceptical this one product could clean all of that, but to my surprise it worked! I couldn't believe my eyes when all I had to do was spray Vim Power & Shine Bathroom Spray on the bath tub, shower walls, the sink, and even the potty and than just wipe all the crude away, I was honestly shocked. When I was done and everything was dry I ran my hand over everything to see if a white film was left behind, and there was nothing to be seen or felt. My old tub was as smooth as a baby’s bottom! Every bit of chrome was shinny and the bathroom smelled fresh and clean. I even tried it on the old mirrors that we have in there. They have to be over fifty years old and no matter how much I tried I couldn't get the top portion of them to come clean. They had like a fog to them. Even though it didn’t say it was to be used on mirrors I sprayed Vim Power & Shine Bathroom Spray all over them any way and at first I thought I made them worse than they had been. But after whipping them down really well and giving them a spray with Windex, all that old fog was gone! Another thing I really like about it is how long my bathroom stayed smelling clean. Usually after I've cleaned the bathroom it will smell clean for a few hours than that just drifts away, but that wasn't the case with the Vim Power & Shine Bathroom Spray. Every time I went into the bathroom it not only smelled clean it smelled fresh! I'm definitely sold on Vim Power & Shine Bathroom Spray and if you haven't tried it yet, I highly recommend that you give it a try. Don't just be satisfied with a clean bathroom like I was, clean it with Vim Power & Shine Bathroom Spray and your bathroom will not only shine it will smell so fresh that you'll want to soak in your tub and melt away the day with a good book. -

This is another product that I received in my Premium bag of goodies. I don't use many scrubs, but out of all of the scrubs that I have tried through the years, this one is my favorite so far! I've had combination skin that has gone from supper oil to oily/ dry as I've gotten older and its always been a pain to care for because of this. This scrub has super fine scrubbing beads in it that gets right down deep where I need it the most and you can feel it working to remove that yucky top layer of dead skin as you wash your face. The first time I used it I thought this was going to scrape to much skin off and my face would look as red as a beet and be sore, but that wasn't the case at all. As I rinsed it off, I could feel how soft and rejuvenated my skin felt and once I stepped out of the shower, I could see the difference in my skins texture. I was having a hard time finding it in a store near me, so I haven't been using it very often, but today I found it at a Shopper's in my area and I can't wait to pick a full size bottle up for myself. It was priced around $34 a bottle at this Shopper's, but from what I've seen on line its selling for about the same price every where. I just don't like to order things on line if I don't have to. So you can buy yourself some Vasanti BrightenUp Enzymatice Face Rejuvenator just about any where you'd like and I'd definitely recommend you treat yourself and give it a try. Your skin will love you for it! -

I'm so pleased with the Le Petit Marseille's Extra Gentle Shower Crème and I'm in love the orange blossom scent that this one has! When I first received it in my little bag of Premium goodies that it came in I didn't have a shower puff as I call them, so I tried it with out one. The results weren't that good as far as it lathering up when used this way, but I fell in love with the orange blossom scent right away. I didn't find it to be to strong, but it also wasn't so light that you couldn't smell it either. I thought it was just the right amount of scent, for my taste any how, others may disagree with that in one way or another. I finally bought myself a shower puff and when I tried it with the puff, it lathered up just the right amount for me. You only need a small amount of it to get enough lathering to wash your whole body, other wise you'll be rinsing the shower puff off forever trying to get it free of bubbles. It felt silky going on and rinsed off very easily leaving me skin not only feeling clean, but also feeling silky soft. It was just what the Dr. ordered for my skin after a long winter of having the heater running for months. I can see this being the prefect shower crème to use after a hot day out in the summer sun as well. For the size of the bottle and the small amount you need to use each time, its well worth the price and than some. I've just recently seen three other scents that are available at Shoppers Drug Mart, so if you aren't a orange blossom type of girl try one of the others, I'm sure you find one you'll love as much as I love this one. -

I'm with the rest of the ladies with this chocolate bar, it was a big hit for me! It had just the right amount of caramel mixed with the chocolate and cookie gave it that nice crunch. Its prefect to satisfied anyone's craving for something sweet creamy and crunchy all rolled into one. I just wish the sample was bigger! If you enjoy all three of these tastes together than you have to give this new Hershey's cookie and caramel chocolate bar a try its one of the best chocolate bars I've ever tasted! -

Garnier claims that their new Fructis Grow StrongFortifying Mask can make every inch of your hair ten times stronger and after trying a sample of it, I not only believe their claims, I fell in love with it! My hair was so badly damaged that it felt like straw and I thought the only thing I could do was cut it all off. That was until I tried this mask. It has a wonderful citrus scent to it that makes you open up your eye’s and say, “Wow, is this ever nice!” You don’t need a lot of it at a time to get great results, while its on your hair it make’s it feel like silk and it rinses out very easily. I have long hair that tends to tangle and I need a good condition just to get through the aftermath of washing my hair. This mask has changed my hair from the mess I mentioned into soft touchable hair and unlike some other deep conditioners tend to do to my hair, this one doesn’t make my hair look or feel greasy in the slightest. I can go a few days with out washing my hair again and it still feels so soft that I keep finding myself twirling it between my fingers, something I haven’t wanted to do in a very long time! Another thing I love about this mask is that you don’t need to use it every time you wash your hair and its afordable. I’ve found that twice a week is more than enough to keep my hair looking and feeling the way it did when I was a child and who doesn’t want their hair to feel like that. I’d definitely tell you to give it a try for yourself, I’m sure you’ll love it as much as I do. -

I received a free sample of the new Tresemme Beauty-Full Volume Conditioner & Shampoo and although there was only enough for one use, I was able to form my opinion of it. I was very sceptical of this new way of conditioning my hair than shampooing it simply because my hair is long and it tends to get full of knots when I wash it. Unfortunately the day I tried them my allergies were acting up, so I really can’t tell you if the pares scent was nice and pleasant to use, to strong and over powering, or just right. I can how ever tell you that the conditioner went in and cover all of my long hair, it felt really nice on my hair and it was very easily rinsed out. I was able to run my finger through my hair with out coming across a ton of knots, at that point. Than it was time to shampoo and I even told myself, ”This could turn into a nightmare, or it could actually work for me.” The shampoo lathered up way more than I was expecting that small amount to do, but it was also very easily rinsed out. How ever while I was washing my hair I could feel the knots beginning to form and by the time I had the job completed, my hair was just full of knots. I thought for sure I was going to have to use a detangling product, but to my surprise I was able to get through every knot with out pulling half of my hair out of my head. As for this new Tresemme Beauty-Full Volume Conditioner & Shampoo giving me wonderful volume and great looking hair, it was a big fail for me. I let my hair dry on its own like I normally do, but saw no big change in its volume at all. It left my hair feeling soft and it wasn’t furzy at all, but it definitely wasn’t full of volume either. Myself I won’t be buying it, but I know as of today you can still get a free sample to try for yourself. I’d say that would be your best bet before you buy it and find out it wasn’t for you. -

Thank you ChickAdvisor for choosing me to try out the Nutriforme Decadent Fudge Meal Replacement Bars. I was expecting them to have an awful taste like any of the other's I've tried, witch isn't many simply because everyone I have tried were awful. But to my surprise these weren't near as bad. You can definably tell they are a nutrition bar and not a candy bar from the first bite because they don't have the sweetness of a candy bar. They are nice and fudgy witch was the one thing I think made me able to eat the whole bar. The chocolate is a dark chocolate that gives it a bit of a biter chocolate taste and there is some sort of a crispy thing with in it that gives it a bit of a crunch here and there, but not much. They do fill you up when you're on the go, or just don't feel like making some thing just for yourself, but the price point for them is pretty high considering you only get 5 in a box. My husband even took two in his work lunch with out telling me and he said they were just alright, they filled the hole so to say. I was surprised he even finished one never mind eating two because he has a real sweet tooth. So this isn't something I would have thought he'd even take one bit of never mind eat all of both. So they do have something good that make's you continue to eat all of them unlike those other nutrition bars that just don't taste very good to me at all. If you don't mind pay this much, I'd tell you to go out and get some for yourself, other wise I wouldn't bother buying them for myself, or my family on my own. They just didn't have enough to them to make me want to spend that much on them. -

I'd like to thank ChickAdvisor for choosing me to try Adrien Gagnon Super Energex drink. Unfortunately I was more than disappointed with this product. I had very high hopes that it would help my energy levels, but that's not what happened. When I first open it and smelled it, it almost knocked me off my feet, it was awful! I mixed it with the water like it said to do and tried a sip and it wasn't the worst thing I've ever tasted so I did drink all of it. After drinking it I sat at a window watching my husband cut the grass waiting for it to kick in so I could get out into my gardens, but that's not what happened. It ended up having the opposite effect on me! I'm not sure if this was because it had some kind of an effect on the medication I'm on, but I ended up in bed for the whole weekend unable to do a thing! It seemed like it suck the energy that I did have right out of me. It wasn't until Monday morning when I started to feel like I could at least get out of bed and do something. After experiencing all that I never tried it again, more because I was afraid to, not because of it's smell and taste. If it would have helped me, I would have drank everyone of them and even went out an bought more. Unfortunately for me that's not going to happen and I'll have to find something else. As for recommending it, I'd tell you if you are on a lot of medications like I am, it would be best to talk to your Dr. first. -

I put off buying Sally Hansen Miracle Gel Polish and top coat for a long time because I felt the price was too much for me. I finally broke down and bought some last week only to become very disappointed in it and to be honest with you ladies, I was also a little tick off! I did every thing they say to do to get the right effect and at first I thought it was pretty good. Both of the brush's are a nice size, the color went on nicely and I didn't have to use any more than two coats to get the color coverage that I wanted. I was able to get the top coat on in a timely manner as well and it didn't take to long to dry. I was actually thinking to myself, "Why haven't you broke down and bought this for yourself before now." Well that was all well and good until the very next. I had done my nail's at night and when I got up the next day they looked nice, but that all ended when I sat down to my computer. As soon as I started typing the polish began to push back from the tips of not one nail, but all of them! By the end of day all of my polish was damaged to some point and three of my nails had big chunks out of the polish. I could actually peel the polish back with little effort using one of my other nails. As you can imagine I wasn't happy. But than when it came time to remove this so called great gel polish, it became a night mare! I'm guessing I didn't have the right nail polish remover for gel polish, but I thought since its peeling off so easily it wouldn't make much of a difference. Boy was I wrong! I had to soak every fingernail in polish remove and scrub the stuff off of each nail. A job that normally only took a few minutes took me an hour and the skin around my nail's were still discoloured from the polish that I couldn't fully get off. It took another three days to get my skin to clear up. Not only would I NOT recommend Sally Hansen Miracle Gel Polish and top coat, I'd tell you to return it before you even try it. Unfortunately I tossed my reseat out, or I would be returning it!! -

I’m in love with this Hand Chemistry hand cream! I can’t believe I actually found a product that not only advertises that it works, it truly does work! My hands were starting to get very dry, scaly, and old looking last summer and nothing I tried was changing them back. They were so bad that even my oldest son asked what was up with my hands looking so old. Other lotions, or creams I tried would make them look better, but the effects never lasted long. Once I’d wash my hands they’d go right back to looking old and dry again. One day I saw an ad for Hand Chemistry in the Shopper’s flier that showed the difference in someone’s hands after they had only used it for a week. (I’ve added the same pic. so you can all see this change.) Well we all know what some ads can be like, so I made a call to an expert, my mom. It turned out that she had already been using Hand Chemistry and she did nothing but rave to me about how well it works. She told me that some women in England love it so much that they’re now using it on their faces as well as their hands and are having great results with that as well. So I took my experts advice and bought some for myself. With in one day my hands felt so much better and with in a week, they actually looked like the hands of time had traveled backwards. It has a pleasant scent to it that doesn’t linger and you only need to apply a small amount in the morning and again befor bed and you’ll see and feel the difference with in a day. You do have to continue using it, other wise these great changes begin to slip backwards, but once you have tried Hand Chemistry and you see how well it works for your self, you’ll never forget to apply it again. I paid $19.99 for a 100ml squeeze bottle, but because you only need a small amount, it lasts a very long time and its well worth the price for the great result you end up with! -
