The L'Oreal product exceeded my expectations, as well as my mom's. The product worked perfectly on my mom's short black hair; it left her hair soft and shiny. The applicator brush makes it quick and easy to apply the product to her hair. Within 10 minutes her grays were evenly and naturally concealed. There was no staining to the scalp and the color blends perfectly with the color she normally uses. She'll definitely recommend L'Oreal Root Rescue and use it again between her colorings. -

Thank you Chickadvisor.com for sending me a box of the Garnier Nutrisse Cream in Liquorice #10 to review. This hair dye provides a long-lasting grey coverage, and the gentle formula leaves my hair incredibly soft with a brilliant glossy shine.
The dye is rich, creamy, and thick so I had no dripping issues. Yay! The product did lightly stain my scalp and the bathtub but the staining did not cause irreversible damage. Thankfully, the light stain can be lightly scrubbed away. My hair color is now a healthy deep black – the color matches my natural hair color quite precisely. I would repurchase the Garnier Nutrisse Cream Hair Color and I suggest my friends and family to check this product out.

Thank you Chickadvisor.com for sending me a bottle of the Garnier Fructis Color Shield Instant Color Sealer for review. The Instant Color Sealer product is amazing and it’s a must have! Similar to the Garnier’s Shampoo and Conditioner the sealer smells wonderful!
The product is light weight, and non-greasy to the touch. My color-treated hair is silky soft, sleek, and shiny! This formula controls flyaways, frizz and moisturizes my hair all day long. The seal keeps the colour vibrant and my hair looking healthy.

Thank you Chickadvisor.com for sending me a bottle of the Garnier Fructis Color Shield Shampoo, and Conditioner to review. I love color of the bright pink and green bottles, which is quite easy to locate when shopping. I also love Garnier’s hair products - the distinctive energizing fruity scents.
The hydrating shampoo and conditioner, in my opinion, are gentle and safe to use everyday. The products do not strip my hair of its natural oils or add heavy oils. In other words, the shampoo and conditioner leaves my hair smooth, soft, and shiny without weighing my hair down.
I have found that my color lasts longer than when I use store branded shampoos for color-treated hair. Garnier's shampoo and conditioner saves me time and money, since I don’t have to color as often. I would repurchase this dual system and urge my friends, family, and co-workers who have color-treated hair to check out Garnier's Color Shield line.

Thank you Chickadvisor.com for sending me a tube of Maybelline New York The Falsies Volum' Express Mascara to review and coupons to share with friends, family, co-workers.
The highly pigmented, and rich pro-keratin fibre formula significantly lengthened my lashes and provide noticeable volume. In my opinion, this mascara adds more length than volume. I have yet to find any other mascara that lengthens as well as The Falsies, but I have had achieved better volume with Maybelline’s XXL Pro Volume Mascara.
My next amazement was the technology behind the brush. The curved brush was able to grab every single eyelash (yes, including the baby lashes) and fan out my lashes. Finally, I’m very happy that the product is long-wearing; I did not experience any flaking, smudging or clumping. In other words, this mascara has lasted through intensive physical activity (i.e. running), heat, and humidity.
Despite applying several coats of the product on I wasn't able to achieve the 'false lashes look' or anything close with this mascara. However, the product was not a total disappointment for me. I intend on purchasing this mascara in the future and I have already recommended this product to several friends. This is my favorite mascara on the market that I have stumbled upon.

Thank you Chickadvisor.com for sending me a full size bottle of lemon scented Vim Cream to try. My family and I really appreciate the opportunity to review the product.
Unlike other cleaners that overpower one's senses, the light yellow Vim Cream smells natural. The shape of the bottle is well designed. It is easy to hold on and squeeze the powerful formula easily onto surfaces. The cream is phosphate free, has the consistency of lotion, and stays in place. The gentle but gritty texture is quite unique for a cleaner. The formula is somewhat like Crest Pro-Health tooth paste.
The product cannot be used on certain surfaces, which include linoleum, textile, leather, and painted wood. And extra caution must be used when applying the cream to painted enamel, aluminium, and other soft surfaces.
I used the product on my bathtub, kitchen sink, and white runners. I'm pretty satisfied with the results. The cream was able to remove soap scum, and everyday grime without scratching my belongings. I'm slightly disappointed the product was not able to remove hard water build up from the shower head. Overall, the cream required less scrubbing and elbow grease, and the cleaner saved me time. Thanks to the makers of Vim Cream; the awesome formula has certainly rejuvenated my place.
I still love my current eco-friendly green cleaners because I'm a tree-hugger. I would only buy the Vim Cream to clean my white runners and would suggest the it to my work out buddies.

My family and I are big fans for Burt's Bees because their formulas are natural and Earth-friendly. My brother and I especially love the Beeswax Lip Balm. The lip balm smells like freshly grounded peppermint. We discovered the lip balm when we were on Accutane/Clarus. It is a miracle lip balm since it relieved us from our sore, cracked, and dry lips. Once the product is applied your will lips feel tingly and cool. The formula is soothing and provides long-lasting hydration. This is a classic lip balm that we have in the car, bathroom, computer desk, etc. Bottom line: we can't live without it and highly recommend this product to friends and family. -

I went on a cleaning spree with the product, and I am genuinely surprised by the results. When Clorox named the product Natural All Purpose Cleaner the company really meant it is an all purpose cleaner. The product is tough on stains and grime, but gentle on your household items and hands. In other words, the cleaner didn’t strip paint from my IKEA desk, yet it was able to remove stains and grime from the stove top, fridge, bathtub, and sinks! Also, it left my mirrors sparkling! Now my home is clean, and smells lightly of a lemon-lime (like 7-Up—the soft drink) scent. -
Breyers Smooth & Dreamy Frozen Dessert

Thank you Chickadvisor.com and Breyers.ca for sending me a beautiful green ice cream scoop and a free product coupon (FPC) for a 1.89L tub of Breyers Smooth & Dreamy Ice Cream. At the request of my family I picked up Strawberries & Cream from The Real Canadian Superstore. The product sells for ~ $7.89 CAD.
What is unique about this ice cream? Well, the proprietary Cream Press System splits the cream into ultra fine molecules which allows the droplets of cream to expand at its maximal capacity in the freezer. The Smooth & Dreamy ice cream collection still has the same wholesome taste of regular ice cream but half the fat. 1/2 cup (125 mL) of the Smooth and Dreamy ice cream is only 120 calories!
After cracking the lid open I instantly fell in love with the appearance of the marbleized ice cream, and aromatic smell of vanilla and strawberry. The Strawberry & Cream is a vanilla flavored ice cream surrounded by freshly pureed pink strawberry swirls. I am happy to report that the ice cream is thoroughly consistent in taste and texture.
I was further amazed by how fluffy, and scoop-able the ice cream is. I find regular ice creams rock-hard and difficult to scoop, but I wasn't met with the same challenge with the Smooth & Dreamy product.
The Smooth & Dreamy ice cream doesn't taste like bland low-fat or “diet” ice creams. My family and I were extremely pleased with the smoothness and richness of the Strawberry & Cream ice cream. The ice cream is refreshingly flavorful and completely satisfying. Although, I personally found the product is a bit sweeter than other regular ice creams.
Nevertheless, Strawberry & Cream is premium quality ice cream that I have recommended to friends and co-workers. I have already re-purchased the Strawberry & Cream flavor for the hot summer months ahead.
