I received this free product in Electric Blue from the Product Review Club. The box claims that you can do a full head of dye with one box, but the full tube of dye and the full packet of pastelizer only covered my roots. I ended up just doing the blue as a shadow root, as I would have needed multiple boxes for a full head of the vibrant colour.
The damp application made the entire process shorter, as there's no need to dry hair after lightening, but the dampness made it difficult to judge how the colour was processing. It was hard to get even coverage on wet hair as well, so I had to go over some sections multiple times, which still wasn't enough. The finished look was very patchy. Some sections were bright and vibrant, while others were pale and washed out. I wasn't happy with the coverage at all.
Overall, I would not recommend this product. The box doesn't go far and the coverage is very uneven. I'll be returning to my usual brand next time.

I switch up my deodorant/antiperspirant pretty often because I have a hard time finding something that lasts through my intense dance classes. This Dove antiperspirant is one of the better ones I've tried though, and I will likely be repurchasing. While I still sweat, of course, it doesn't leave me as sticky feeling as some products. The scent is fresh and remains fresh even after a two-hour class. I still feel the need to reapply after a full day of work if I'm going out in the evening, but I think I feel that way with pretty much every antiperspirant. -

I received this product as part of the Product Review Club offer. It claims to diminish and prevent acne while moisturizing skin. I didn't notice much of a difference with my acne, but for a product containing salicylic acid, it was surprisingly hydrating. I loved that I could put it on in the morning after cleansing and it would provide extended hydration without leaving my face feeling sticky or oily throughout the day. I just wish it did more for my acne! -

I received this product as part of the Product Review Club offer. It claims to diminish and prevent acne, tighten pores, and reduce oil. As for the acne, it really didn't make a difference. I did, however, notice that my pores were generally smaller after use, and my skin has been slightly less oily. I sometimes find toners to be very drying and irritating, but this one isn't too bad. I wouldn't say I'm amazed by this product, but it does what a toner is supposed to do and it's an affordable price. -

I received this product as part of the Product Review Club offer. It claims to diminish and prevent acne, but I'm not so sure it did much of that. My acne didn't really change at all after using this cleaner. However, I know that my acne is hormonal, which means topical treatments generally don't do a whole lot to help.
As a normal cleanser though, it was pretty good. It has a light, fresh scent and doesn't irritate the skin. It got the majority of my makeup off and paired really well with my Clarisonic cleanser. The price is good, so even though it didn't help my acne, I would still recommend it as a good cleanser for sensitive skin.

For the price, this is a decent cleanser. It gets the job done by removing all makeup, dirt and oil. However, I didn't notice any difference in blemishes over a period of two weeks and I'm also not a huge fan of the formula. I find it to be a little too watery for a cleanser - I prefer thicker, creamier cleansers. But if you're just looking for an affordable cleanser that won't irritate your skin, this could be the one for you. -
Red Rose Orange Pekoe Black Tea K-Cup Packs

I highly recommend these for the flavour, but not so much for the price. Like most K-Cups, they're pretty pricey and not great for the environment. They taste just like making tea from a bag, so that's great, but you could just as easily buy a box of Red Rose tea bags and run your Keurig sans K-Cup. Same result, but less money and better for the environment. -

I received a box of these bars as part of the Product Review Club and I'm quite impressed by them. The price is fair, considering you're getting five full meals for $11, and they taste great, which is more than I can say for some other nutrition bars I've tried. Plus, they actually fill me up! I have an early lunch break at work, so I'm usually starving by dinner time, even if I have an afternoon snack of some sort. When I ate one of these Nutriforme Bars for lunch, I was still pretty content by dinner time, which helped me to eat less for dinner. It's hard to say whether these have helped with weight loss, as I only had five to test, but I'd definitely buy more to find out. -

I received a package of Super Energex as part of the Product Review Club. I initially mixed it with water, which was quite unpleasant, but it tasted much better once I started mixing it with orange juice.
I'm really not a morning person, so I took the Super Energex in the morning in an attempt to boost my energy levels. While I did feel more awake and energized in the morning, I found I crashed hard in the afternoon. I was completely drained by about 2pm every day that I took this. I can't say I'd recommend this product because I really don't think the boost of energy is worth the crash later on.

I received this polish free as part of the Product Review Club.
Test #1:
The directions clearly stated that you need only two thin coats of colour and one coat of topcoat, so I decided to forego my usual basecoat application for the first test. The colour #181 Salmon Run does not apply well. I found it to be very streaky and it required a third coat to achieve any opacity. I made sure to cap the tips with both the colour and topcoat. I applied the polish around noon and had several chips by dinner time. By the following day, almost every nail was chipped and peeling. I figured it was likely due to the lack of base coat, so I removed the polish and began test #2.
Test #2:
For this test, I first applied one coat of Glisten and Glow's Stuck on Blu Basecoat (my go-to) and then three coats of the colour polish and one coat of topcoat, making sure to cap the tips again. The application was still streaky, but it lasted much longer with the addition of the basecoat underneath. I'm now on day 6 of this manicure, and only have one small chip on the tip of my thumbnail.
The colour I received was pretty finicky, as are most lighter creme polishes, so I'd definitely be willing to try Vinylux again with a different shade. The wear was great, as long as I used a basecoat, and the high-shine finish remained in tact throughout the week. The price is a little bit higher than I normally spend on salon brand polish, but is on par with most of the indie brands I buy, so I wouldn't mind putting the money out for a few shades that I really like. If you like your manicures to last a full week, I would definitely recommend Vinylux, but if you change your polish often, it may not be worth the money.
