I received this product as part of the Chick Adviser Product Review Club. I was impressed with the toothpaste's claim to help decrease sensitivity and whiten teeth. My teeth are sensitive in certain spots and some toothpastes can cause pain and a throbbing sensation. However, I did not have that issue with Crest Pro-Health ProFresh. I did not notice any difference in terms of whitening, but ultimately it would take several weeks to determine whether there is a permanent difference.
The paste itself left my teeth feeling clean and silky smooth. However, I did notice that the strength of the flavour burned the inside of my lower lip a little. Other than that, I have no other issues with it burning my tongue or lips.

Essence products sell for a low price here. It is not unusual to find their items for as low as ninty-nine cents. I purchased the Multi Action False Lashes Mascara for less than four dollars to see how it would fare. Imagine my pleasant surprise when I found that this mascara made my lashes look thick and plush. I needed only a single coat on each eye, instead of the typical double coat.
I did not find a great difference in length, but the volume was superb for me. The formula was soft, but not too thin. The brush has short cylinder bristles that coat every lash to the max. It is definitely a good mascara to wear for an evening look.

When I need to freshen up a room, I just give a single spray of Coconut Water room spray, and suddenly I am transported into a luscious paradise of sweet coconut scent. Can you smell silk? That is one way to describe this scent: smooth silk that has been bottled into a spray. It is not overwhelming, and it lingers in the room as a soft, invisible mist.
Usually, I will open the window to carry the smell around the room, or turn on the fan. It is great to use in the kitchen to mask odors from cooking. There are a variety of sprays available, but this is one that is on the top of my list.

I do not usually go for lip glosses or tints; I am more of a lipstick sort of girl. Nevertheless, when I spotted this lip tint in Simply Mauve-lous, I decided to purchase it. The colour is mauve, but has undertones of pink and brown. The result is a shade that really matches my natural lip colour. I was pleased to see how pretty the tint looks, with a soft shin. I feel this is a good switch for a nude lip if wearing smokey eye makeup.
Simply Mauve-lous is made with natural igredients such as shea butter, olive fruit oil, mango seed butter, rosemary extract, and peppermint oil. The latter ingredient gives off a tingle, and slightly plumps up the lips as an added bonus.

Now that summer is here, you got a pedicure, scrubbed your feet of rough skin, and you're ready to slip on your sandals. Before you do, you may want to think about having them smell just as nice as they look. Peppermint Cooling Foot Spray, by the Body Shop, has a refreshing peppermint oil to combat foul bacterial odours, while menthol is to keep your feet cool. Grape extract is to suppose to keep the skin smooth.
I do notice that my feet smell nice with this spray, although I have not experienced any lasting cool or tingling action on the soles. Nevertheless, I find that the price is fair enough that I have no regrets purchasing this spray. Plus, Community Trade peppermint means you are doing a small bit to give back to farmers.
This product is small enough to put in your bag and take with you as needed. For extra coolness, store in your fridge or a cool place.

I received this product to review from ChickAdvisor as part of their product review panel. Right off the bat: I give Revlon extra points for creating girlish designs that attract the eye. They are certainly a change from the usual squares I purchase to buff my nails. Their small size made buffing and polishing the nails easy, and the shape was helpful to go around the curve of the cuticles.
I noticed that the buffer side was gentle enough that it did not scratch off too much top layer. Some buffers do that, and as a result, the underlying layers of the nail become too thin, weaken, and tend to crack more easily. However, I did not see this particular problem occurring here.
The polishing side is my favourite. It creates a high gloss shine that glistens in the light. It really makes the nails look healthy and well-manicured. Also, after I removed my nail polish, I was pleased to see that the shine still remained on the nails, as normally they become dry and clouded after being painted.

I received this product free to test as part of the ChickAdvisor Product Review Club. I have used Tampax Pearl in the past, and my opinion was favorable. Regarding the New Radiant Peal- the product is more or less the same. It has prettier packaging, and I do like the smooth grip applicator. I had no discomfort wearing it, and experienced no leakage, which is also a bonus.
I was a bit confused about the purpose of the resealable packaging. If it is for the purposes of disposing of the tampon, well, try inserting a used tampon back into that little seal without some struggle. Things quickly get messy. I understand it might serve a purpose if one is without a garbage can nearby, but generally, it would be easier without the bother of saving and then using the wrapper.

I received this product free to test as part of the ChickAdvisor Product Review Club. One first thing that caught my eye about these pads are their thinness. I dislike bulky pads, especially when you sit down and rise three inches off the chair. However, these proved to be comfortable to wear to the point where they would not be noticed.
I saw that the center has a little sieves that quickly and efficiently absorb liquid, which keeps the wearer dry and avoids any messiness. I did not experience any issues with leakage, and was pleasantly surprised by the delicate scent. It was also nice to see that they did not bunch up and kept their shape throughout. Certainly, it makes things easier during a time when we want the least trouble!

Everybody wants to have a beautiful smile, and white teeth are a surefire way to enhance it. Plus White 5 Minute Speed Whitening Gel is a good way to brighten your smile and eliminate surface stains. I have been using this for a while now, and anytime I feel my teeth need to be brighter, I use this for a couple of days to get them back to a whiter state. The difference was especially noticeable when I posed for pictures with friends, and noticed in the photographs that my smile stood out, even though in real-life, my friends' teeth could hardly be described as yellow.
My teeth are a nice natural shade of white (not the colour of White-Out or fake veneers), which does not make it obvious that they have been treated. I feel that this product works best on light-to-medium surface staining, and teeth that are described as dull or "beige". For heavy staining or discolouration, the results may be minor.

I have received the product to test as part of the ChickAdvisor Product Review Club. The first thing I noticed about these liners is that they are thin, almost paper-like. That proved to be an advantage because they felt comfortable, not bulky like some liners feel. At the same time, they offered solid protection without any leakage.
I love the fact that one can wear them with different types of undergarments, as it becomes costly to buy different forms of liners to accommodate one's choice of underwear that day. I found that no matter what activity I participated in, the liner stayed in place, and adjusted to the shape, never crinkling or shifting. That certainly gives one a feeling of security. Given their thinness, I do not think they are suitable for even light menstrual use, but they are ideal for everyday use.
