I have tried two other brands of dry shampoo and was just about to give up on it altogether when I tried Batiste. It was GREAT...and nothing like the others I tried. It didn't leave white powdery flakiness on my hair and actually made my hair look clean and ungreasy (unlike the other products). It was easy to style and smelled great. -

Everyone LOVED the product. It looked appealing, was in no-mess packet format, and it did not taste like vegetables. Our boys asked for this as a snack every day and I've already had to go out and purchase more. The flavour was great, it was fairly nutritious, and it was no-mess. Win-Win.

I received this product as part of the Chick Advisor review club. This was definitely a hit with our family, who is always looking for quick and simple snack ideas that have some nutritional value. The taste was great, it was clean and easy to take on-the-go, and I felt like I was offering something healthy. This will definitely be a staple for back-to-school snack and lunch items. -

I received this product as part of the Chick Advisor Review Club. I can't say that I've noticed any differences at all. I was optimistic when I first tried the cream because it was really thick, but it ended up feeling a bit greasy on the skin and it didn't seem to offer much benefit except moisturising. I was really hoping for some tightening affects, but was disappointed. -

I received this product as part of the Chick Advisor Review club. I immediately loved the texture of it. It wasn't gloopy and messy, but felt more silky and smooth. It was easy to spread on the skin without causing added irritation and it prevented the moisture from getting on the skin. Even a slight bit of redness went away with only a couple of applications. -

I received this product as part of the Chick Advisor Review club. I am typically sceptical of eye cream products because I really don't know what results to expect from them, but CeraVe left me pleasantly surprised. First of all, I appreciated that this cream comes in a tube because it makes the application very easy. It is, however, hard to discern how much I've used and how much is left (a clear tube, perhaps?)
The cream is a nice, thick formula and blends quickly and smoothly into the skin. I usually wait about 5 minutes for it to sink in before applying my make-up, and I have no problem with smudging. Overall, it's a good product as it moisturises well, but I'm still not convinced that it did anything to "repair" my under-eye area.

I received this product as part of the Chick Advisor Review club. I was attracted to the durability and the variety of potential applications of this product. While I thought they were quite pricey for the small quantity of labels, they were a great solution to labeling our son's items. We'd been labeling with a sharpie but this would wash off in the dishwasher; we also wanted something that could eventually be removed as we passed it to our younger sons. These have saved time and after several dishwasher cycles and use, these still look almost new. The only one that has come off so far was on the shoes; they peel around the corners and I have tried them on the soles and on the fabric portions. All others have stayed on well and they haven't faded at all! I'll see how they make it through July camp. -

I received this product as part of the Chick Adviser Review panel. I was really excited to try out this product and was looking forward to great results. I really liked the texture of the cream, but thought it might be a bit watered-down. It had a nice gel-like quality and was not as thick as the creams I've used in the past. It felt light and I was hoping it would work well despite the light texture. I woke up to find my skin looking refreshed and bright. I didn't find that it worked much on firming the skin or helping with the fine lines, but I did notice a "glow" to my skin in the morning and it felt quite fresh for the day. I've been using it for 12 days so hopefully it continues to improve from here, but I would appreciate more of a firming quality, more anti-aging properties, and a more noticeable difference in these areas. I really did like the glowing look of the skin and the surface-texture of my skin looked smoother. -

I received this product as part of the the Chick Adviser Review club. I have to say, I was very excited to try and it and had very high hopes, but, unfortunately, I haven't yet noticed much of a difference. It advertises increased hydration, smoother skin with visibly refined pores, and illumination qualities. First of all, though it was moisturizing, this effect didn't last for very long. I didn't notice that it was any more hydrating than a basic lotion. Secondly, my skin texture did not improve much. I still haven't experienced much difference in pore-size and, though, it "illuminates" when you put it on, it quickly disappeared as soon as I added my sunscreen and make-up. I asked a couple of my friends if they had noticed any difference in my skin and neither one could see any improvement. I have been using it for 12 day, but I think that it may show a bit of improvement with a little more time. I think with the product's price-point, it should show a marked improvement in a shorter time-frame. -

I received this product free from ChickAdvisor as part of their review panel program.I loved it! I almost never use powder, but this definitely set my make-up, got rid of the shine, and didn't look like I was covered in make-up or powder. It was light and gave a porcelain-finish look to my skin. It was great. -
