I had the chance to try this product for free via the Chick-Advisor Product Review Club. It's difficult to assess skin care products after only a couple of weeks of use. I stopped using all of my other skin care products to get the most realistic experience of these products.
The serum was rich, silky and hydrating and I loved the texture and how it made my skin feel. My skin felt very smooth after application.
Within a few days of use, my normally pasty and pale complexion had a rosy glow.
The product is pricey and the main deterrent to purchasing in the future. But I will keep my eye out for sales.

I admit when I opened it for the first time, I thought it looked like every other solid anti-perspirant I'd ever seen.
I have preferred Dove brand over others in the past as it tends to be more gentle on my skin, so I was looking forward to trying this product.
When I applied it, I was impressed with how smooth and silky it went on. And the "Beauty Finish" scent was light, fresh and not overpowering. Often when I'm in a rush to get going for the day and I can't remember if I've put on anti-perspirant, I will do a "finger check", as most brands leave a film that is easily detected. I don't think that test will work with Dove Go Sleeveless as it left virtually no residue!
It's lovely to use an anti-perspirant that is kind to my underarms. After less than a week's use, they are noticeably softer and I did not experience the irritation after shaving that I normally do! Great product, will definitely be purchasing.

Though I've been coloring my hair for years, I've never used this type of product before and likely would not have, had I not received this as part of the Garnier Colour Shield products via the Product Review Club.
What I liked;
- refreshing fragrance
- light texture, did not weigh hair down, easy to rinse off hands
- side benefit of taming my sometimes fly-away hairs!
- no fading of hair colour and it's been over 4 weeks!

I received Garnier Colour Shield shampoo and conditioner as part of the Product Review Club to try after using the Garnier Nutrisse hair colour.
Garnier Fructus has been a favourite brand of shampoo/conditioner and being 40-something with more than a few greys, I was excited to try the product made especially for coloured hair. I loved this hair care duo as much as every other Fructus hair care product I've tried;
-great shampoo lather, easy to rinse out
-delicious fragrance
-conditioner rinsed easily out of my hair
-hair was left soft and manageable, yet strong
-no fading of my hair colour!
I will definitely buy these products again!

I received this product as part of the Product Review Club.
From the 5 days I have been using it, these are my thoughts;
-serum is very light and fluid; somewhat greasy texture
-initially concerned about the greasiness, but the serum absorbed into my skin quickly and did not leave any residue
-left skin soft and smooth
-lovely, light, citrus fragrance
-great easy-to-dispense pump
-reasonable price at ~$24
I would need to test this product longer to note any changes to my skin as a result of using it, but I'm enjoying it so far and will continue to use it!

I was lucky to get a free sample of this product from Chick Advisor (though not the product review club) and I was thrilled with the product!
Having chronically dry skin, I've tried most every lotion out there and I've only found a handful to be even marginally effective. I did not have any expectations from this product and likely would never have bought it on my own.
But wow, it really works. It's not greasy and absorbs quickly into your skin. The scent is delightful and I love it! I would love to have a perfume in this scent! I apply the product after my morning shower and my skin is moisturized and soft all day. I noticed a few other reviewers mentioning stickiness - I did experience this the first time I used it, but not on subsequent uses. No idea why.
I also wish to mention the container design! I find many lotions with pump dispensers leave up to 1/4 of the product behind and difficult/impossible to get out. This is a squeeze bottle which you store upside down so there is no product waste - perfect!
Pros;
-lightweight yet not "drippy" in texture
-absorbs quickly
-fabulous scent
-works! Skin is soft and moisturized all day.
-awesome container design
This product is a new regular in my life!

I had the opportunity to try this via the Product Review Club.
I used the product as per the directions twice daily for about 2 weeks and saw no difference at all in the plumpness of my lips. (Temporary or otherwise.)
This product consists of 2 creams and 2 steps - an "anti-feathering" cream you apply around your lips, and the actual plumper, which is applied to the lips afterwards. (I thought this seemed like a bit too much work - especially when I'm in a hurry to get out the door in the morning!)
Positive;
-creams absorbed quickly and were not unpleasant in texture or smell
Negative;
-no noticeable plumping of lips!
-tedius application process
have tried other temporary lip-plumping products which work much better.
I give this product a 2-thumbs down.

This is my favourite facial scrub - you can't beat the price and it leaves my skin very soft and smooth. (I buy the renewal version of the product.)
I've tried many *much* more expensive scrubs and none have worked nearly as well. I've been using it for well over 10 years now. ;)
