I received this eye roller for the Product Review Club. I didn't expect anything special from this but I'm always interested in making my dark circles look less intense.
I'm expecting twins(5 months pregnant) and have been having trouble sleeping 3 hours in a row, lately. I'd say that since I've been trying this, the puffiness and the the color has been getting better and better but I do still have it. When I do manage to get enough sleep, even if I use this product, nothing happens. But if I am lacking sleep, it does what it's supposed to do.
Unlike other people, I have not gotten any type of bad reaction by applying it under my eyes.
I'm satisfied with it by the fact that it does what it's supposed to do but I still find that 20$ for it to be quite ridicule to fit it in my budget.

I have no idea how much they cost but REGULAR TP is getting so expensive I think I just don't get the point of using 3 plys...More expensive??
While this is great quality TP, I am always afraid that it'll plug the toilet since it so thick that It's as though you're using paper towel. I do like Cashmere's regular toilet paper though. I would not change from regular TP to this one because of these reasons and because it's just not "green".
Thinking about it: why the heck would anybody need 3 ply TP, really?
I might recommend this to some of my relatives that I know love another brand name 3 ply TP.

L'Oreal Paris Root Rescue
At that price, I'll buy a regular box. I prefer refreshing my color and taking care of my gray hairs if I'm going to pay that price. While it did do a good job, the previous reasons are my main ones.

Thanks to Chick Advisor and The Product Review Club I got to try this hair coloring product. I've been doing my haircolor at home for past 13 years(I'm 29) so I pretty much know what I want from a product. I've had pink, purple, black, blond, red, and brown hair in my life so color doesn't scare me. What I mean by that is that depending on the product you may or may not get what you want (and what they claim...). I sometimes get a surprise result from a color and then the final result will grow on me(literally...).
The color I had before using this was a golden brown: I was trying to grow out and wash out the redhead that I was for the past year.
And so I chose this time, #510 Medium Ash Brown to get the brassyness out of there and get it a tad darker.
Result: It came out as a DARK brown, I even thought it had gone black! Remember, I had black hair a few years ago, liked it and kept it like that for 3 years BUT I did not have the intention of dying it THAT dark.
I have washed my hair 3 times in the past week and it still smells like hair dye (stinks!) and now, it looks more like a dark chocolate color under bright lighting. I've bought cheaper hair dyes that didn't smell as much and had no ammonia in them either.
I also prefer conditioner in a tube because 12$ for a small sample sized one is insulting at that price.
Verdict: While it doesn't wash off easily(until now) and the color is very rich(I have long hair and one box was all it took), smells like all other products out there, has a one time use conditioner, and in no way was close to the color shown on the box.Unless it is on clearance I will be using other products to satisfy my haircoloring needs.

I also received this cream as part of the Review Club. I try to buy local as much as possible(especially when I love the products!) and since Marcelle is a Montreal based company ( the head office is about 5 minutes away from my apartment!!), I am always happy to buy their products.
I was surprised by the texture of the cream when I first opened it: looked very creamy and high end, to me.
I like the texture but since we had a week and a half of crazy hot weather in Montreal, it made my usually dry skin break out. On normal days, it behaved well enough. I, as others, think that this would be a perfect cream for colder months. I would also prefer a spf 30 or more.
I walk a lot and am more than 15 minutes outside, per day so better coverage would be more practical.
The price is a bit high but worth it considering the quality of the product. But I might still be tempted to buy something else for that price with an spf of 60, instead...

I got a sample of this perfume and wasn't expecting much. I usually think most perfumes (especially the expensive ones!!) smell awful on me. Maybe they have too much alcohol or musk, I just don't know. But I found that a couple of drops of Covet smells "clean" on me. I can definitely smell the lemon, as stated in the description of the product and even a bit of the chocolate which makes it smell less like a soapy kind of "clean". It last about 4 to 6 hours on me, but of course you have to lean a bit to smell it: perfumes aren't make to engulf you in other people's smell.....
So this is better for me than Thierry Muegler's "Angel": Boy! That stank!!!! Like B.O.
P.S. Fragrance.com sells full sized bottles for 15$...

I also had the opportunity to be part of this product tester's club review!! These are the questions we had to answer:
a) How was your overall experience using this product?
I wear glasses and when I saw all that shimmer, I got scared...But I actually love them!! I found that they actually made my eyes look brighter: I have tired eyes that needed a major pick-me-up. I do have oily lids( I do not wear primer) and did find it to crease(like all the others) after a couple of hours. I also did spot a couple of glitters on my face during the day but maybe I had put on a bit too much. I love the velvety feeling upon application like others have mentioned and find it to be exactly the same as Smashbox's. If you absolutely hate shimmer, stay away from this thought. But I do recommend that you try it.
Next color I want to try? The blue/ turquoise one (picture above!!)
b) What kind of color result did you achieve?
answer: I tried wearing each palettes at a time on the first 2 days. But since I didn't really go anywhere but my classes(university) and downtown (to shop) I mostly used the palest shades. I even went back to my Smashbox eyeshadows (which I looove) for a day and found the colors to look dull on me compared to these babies!!
c) How would you describe the look you created? (Eg. dramatic, romantic, subtle, etc)
I went for a more romantic/subtle look mostly (since I wore it mainly for daywear)
d) Did anyone comment on or compliment your new look?"
answer: I did not see any of my friends since I got the quads. My boyfriend made no comments(as usual...) on my makeup.
e) Which palettes did you test?
answer: I tested the "Taupe Temptress" and "Green with envy" palettes.

I got to try this product for free because I'm a member of the Product Review Club. Thank you so much!
I tried the product for about 2 weeks without noticing any changes. But about a week ago I read on another website that if you dab the lip contouring cream instead of spreading it on it works better. I did notice a difference since I started doing this. But since I don't really have lines as of yet( I'm "only" 28) the difference is more as my lips being a bit more defined.
I really like the lip FILLER( it's NOT a plumper...stop saying that). I would buy it if it was sold on it's own. Makes my lip lines less noticeable and really soft. So because of this I would recommend it but only if it was less expensive.

I got to try this product thanks to Chickadvisor! The smell is very nice and clean. Not too empowering. I tried it for two weeks, not noticing any change in the hair growth or anything. On the third week, I noticed that my shaved underarm hair was a lot thinner when growing back. I think the longer you use it the better it works because I stopped using it a couple of days and Wow! It grew back darker and thicker. (I know this is a bit graphic but I'm just trying to explain the difference I saw). So: It works!! VERY surprised.
I think people who shave their underarms see a bigger difference than those who either use a laser treatment or simply wax them.

I received this product as part of the ChickAdvisor Product Review Club. I was, first of all, impressed by the packaging it came in : a big round box (like a hat box). That was awesome guys!
As soon as I opened it I tried it. My legs are already getting flaky (sorry girls, I now it's kind of disgusting) after I shave them since the weather is getting colder and colder. The smell really got to me. I thought it was just perfect:not too flowery, not too sweet, clean and fresh. I didn't expect that much of a cooling sensation. It lingered for more than 10 minutes. It was as thought I felt it going deep down, where the moisture needed to be. It absorbed very quickly. So quickly I had the urge to put some more but the moisturizing sensation was there and the softness of my legs to prove it!!
I am very happy with it and will buy it again but maybe if it's on sale. I will recommend it.
