I received this as part of the Product review club. I am a fan of Vitamin Waters in general and I was excited to try Aquafina's take on it.
The price (1.99/bottle) is very reasonable and lower than the competitors.
I also liked the flavors that were labelled clearly (vs names like Energy etc where you have to read more down the label to decide if you're going to like it or not)
I also really liked that there were only 10 calories per bottle.
The apple pear flavor was my favorite, although I would also buy the lemonade flavor again.
The product gets high scores from me for price and flavor - my only criticism is that there is a bit of that sweetener aftertaste - when the beverage is very cold or if you eat it with food, it masks that a bit for me.
I believe the "higher" calorie vitamin waters usually pack about 100 calories, so because I don't love the aftertaste, I will mostly stick to those although these are a good lower calorie alternative!

I've never used a Kiehl's product before, but when a friend told me that this new eye "de-puffer" had been sold out for months, I decided to give it a try. I have both eye puffiness and dark circles and I'm happy to report that this product seems to have improved both! it does take some geting used to, it's in a stick form (like a chapstick) but the formula glides on easily. It also absorbs very quickly and has a very good effect. The only disadvantages - a) i think the applicator is a bit too large for the eye area and b) it seems to be much cheaper in the US! But I will be adding this to my beauty staples, stocking up on it the next time I'm across the border:) -

Thank you to the chickadvisor product review club for letting me try this mascara.
For me, mascara is prob the most important product I use and I'm pretty picky about which ones I buy (usually not from the drugstore).
Bottom line, this product had some pros, but it definitely didn't make my eyelashes look false and in fact was a product I would prob mostly use for day to day use.
Pros: I found it quite volumizing and the brush was good at seperating my lashes
Cons: the actual formula of this mascara was prone to clumping and everytime I used it I had to clean up my lashes with an eyelash comb which was an additional step I usually try to avoid.
For night out, dramatic falsh looking lases, my preference of mascara is still mac zoom lash.

I tried this as part of the Product Review Club. I bought the strawberry ice cream bars and they were delicious! I am definitely an ice cream lover and previously, to save the calories, I have always bought the breyers 100calorie cups. These bars were creamier, still a healthier choice than regular ice cream and I felt like the portion was more satisfying. Although the regular price was pretty steep, I would buy these again, especially because I find breyers often goes on sale... And with summer here, I can't live without ice cream! :) -

I was lucky enough to get this product through the product review club
The pros:
1. When I first opened it, I thought the material for the brush part would be too rough for my skin (and I don't even have particularly sensitive skin) however, I found it to be quite soft and actually it felt relaxing when I used it. Another pro, it cleans really easily.
2. I loved the smell of the product - fresh and not too perfumy
3. The open/close feature lets you dispense however much product you want
Cons:
1. overall, I didn't feel like it made a huge difference to my skin (maybe I need to use it longer) Even though I really liked the product, I think the actual formula of the cleanser wasn't too great - a bit too drying for me.
I loved the idea and function of the product, but wouldn't buy it again because I didn't particularly like the cleanser. The feel of the brush though was relaxing and felt like a little mini facial
Thanks for letting me try it!

I got this through the product review club and have been using it for the past couple of weeks. I am already pretty loyal to dove anti-perspirant because I love the silky feel and light smells of the product. I couldn't really tell if it made a difference in hair growth, but it was very moisturizing. The downside of all the dove anti-perspirants is that they leave white marks on clothing and are a bit heavier (maybe from the moisturizers?) than several other brands. Since I like the smell and feel, I would still continue to use it and recommend it. Also it's more of a day to day product than one i would use if I was going to work out or heading to the gym (both because of the whiteness and because it's not that strong) -

I received this product through the chickadvisors product review club and have been using it regularly. I don't yet have fine lines around my lips and I don't regularly wear lipstick so although I did try the cream the benefits of step 1 are sort of lost on me and because I didn't really have an issue, I didn't use it too much.
the plumper side was much better - I didn't notice a huge plumping difference but it was very moisturizing and not sticky - I really liked it.
at this price point, I wouldn't buy this again b/c half of the product isn't useful for me but if maybelline sold this as two seperate products I'd probably buy step 2!
thanks for the chance to try it:)

I got this through the product review club. I use body cream religiously and I've tried all different kinds. I loved the smell of this cream and it absorbed quickly. It moisturized well and wasn't greasy. I did think it moisturized for the whole day. My only downside would be that the bottle is pretty small and I did have to use quite a bit each time, so I don't think this would last as long as some of the lotions that offer more product for a cheaper price - however they might not do as good of a job. As long as you like the citrus-y scent, this is the product for you! -

Overall, I liked this and it was better than other Dove washes I have used. Personally, I still need to use lotion afterwards, but it was moisturizing. I liked the smell, but prefer to use products with a stronger scent - i suppose this would be good if you have sensitive skin/don't like fragrance. Overall a good product! -

I reviewed these for the product review club and they came right at the beginning of my period. They are SUPER thin... the first time I took one out of the pack I took two by mistake. They are also quite small. I usually wear liners for my period (it's really light) but I wouldn't wear these. I think they would be good for people who wear liners for spotting or discharge. I'm going to stick with the always regular kind:) -
