I am totally surprised at how well this product worked for me. Honestly, I didn't even expect it to work so well on my very light blonde hair. This year, I have twice dyed my hair (very light blonde). Unfortunately, this totally damaged it and I had found myself driven into a corner. My roots started growing out fast along with lots of baby hair after giving birth (my natural colour is dark blonde) and I didn't want to dye it again permanently because as mentioned above it was already brittle. So, a semi-permanent creme remained my last resort at that time. The L'Oreal Paris Casting Creme Gloss did completely cover the light blonde at the very first attempt. Moreover, the attached conditioner significantly smoothed my hair - plus, there was enough to use it even twice! The only disappointment came afterwards - the colour was supposed to last up to 28 washes. Mine did only up to 10-14. But, I guess it's because it was a major colour change. I read once that it is advised to stay within two shades of your current colour when dying at home. Maybe if I had dyed my hair in two steps (very light blonde -> blonde -> dark blonde) it would have lasted longer. Anyway, I'm no pro and still I'm very satisfied with the results I had gotten within literally 15 minutes at home at an affordable cost. -
the honest company lip balm (lavender mint)

I didn't know the value of this lip balm until a week ago when my lips started getting really dry, sore and scaly (so annoying!). So far I just have been using it as a daily lip moisturizer because I haven't experienced any lip issues in many years. Now it's my number one remedy for chapped lips. Works instantly - I just put some balm on my lips and in few seconds they feel soft again. Perfect for a busy mom who doesn't have much time for sophisticated cosmetic procedures. All in all, I love this lip balm for many reasons: it's organic, easy to use, effective and comes in different scents. I bought a package of 3 different scents at Indigo the other day - it was an unplanned purchase but so worth the price! -

I received two chocolate shakes as free sample. Unfortunately, it didn't meet my expectations - mostly regarding the taste. In my opinion, it's too artificial, sweet and milky - therefore I could hardly drink it. It looks like for now I will still stick to my old home made shakes. However, I plan on adding some of the Premier shakes to my home made ones. Maybe they will be more enjoyable this way. -

I received four samples of this product in two different flavours: chocolate and vanilla. I have been drinking them:
- day 1: on an empty stomach before and during workout,
- day 2: after workout with a protein bar,
- day 3 and 4: as a snack between meals
Unfortunately, it's totally not my taste: too milky, tastes quite artificial and is way too sweet for me. I tried many combinations (as mentioned above) but I managed to take only few sips.
I'm quite disappointed. I honestly expected them to taste much better because many people I know swear by them.

I bleached my hair twice recently. Obviously, it damaged my hair quite a bit so I was on search for something that would help it look nice again. After trying it just once I could already tell it really was worth its price. It leaves my hair feeling silky smooth and never oily or limp after use. Now I have a new go-to product if I happen to over-process my hair again. -

I received a sample of this product and after several days of using it by our whole family I have to admit that it really works. I initally intended to use it on my 11 months old daughter who gets some eczema flare ups from time to time. Fortunately, she haven't gotten them for couple of weeks now. Instead, my husband and I have been putting the ointment on our faces and my husband additionally on his leg. I'm struggling with some redness, break-outs and oily face skin right now because I burnt my face several times the past summer (forgot about the sunscreen). My husband has been fighting with rosasea for the last three years and few months ago he got an eczema-like flare up on his right leg. The skin on our faces is definitely smoother and less inflamed. Hubby's leg looks bit better, too
We'll be using the product for the next couple of weeks to see if we can get even better results.

I was looking all over for a cleanser that would work with my sensitive, but break-out prone skin, and for some reason, Tammy Fender was one of the last I tried, which makes no sense at all given that I swear by her Intensive Balm. That being said, now that I've tried it, and fallen in love with it, I'll be sticking with it. It's great for my sensitive skin, and has calmed my skin considerably. I love the smell and how my face feels after using these. I will definitely be purchasing this cleanser. -

My favourite soap from Osmia so far! It did such a great job of calming down any body acne. I don't get it often but I would use this soap all the time anyway. Even my husband, who used to use those awful deodorant soaps from the grocery store, is a convert! -
Zoe Organics - Belly Oil
The oil has an amazing smell. I used it on my breasts, hips and belly while pregnant to prevent stretch marks during pregnancy. It went nicely on the skin and kept it moisturized and not itchy. Well worth it!
