I also dont have the sticky , hard lashes like some other brands give me. I also like that it's waterproof, where i live we've gotten lots of heavy rain lately, which was the ultimate test. My lashes stayed as nice as they were when i was done doing them.

I received this product from Chickadvisor to try for free #gotitfree. The colour I chose was the Cotton Candy.
I've always been a little curious about having different coloured hair, so when I saw this campaign I was excited. I could try having an "out of the box" colour, that washes out in a couple washes, and decide if I want to go to the next step of having a more permanent colour.
Firstly, I noticed the product smells really nice! It doesn't have that harsh, make you have trouble breathing chemical smell.
Next, the nozzle seems to really spray the product all over. After reading some reviews prior to using my own, I couldn't understand how someone could spray everything in their bathroom. Perhaps re-evaluating this aspect would be beneficial in the future.
My hair is dyed a copper blonde, so I thought this colour would work well. Turns out, my hair could have been a shade lighter to really notice. I found the pink to be kind of dark, so if you have a darker blonde, this wouldn't be for you. It was there, just not as I had anticipated.
The instructions are a little confusing. The box says wet or dry hair, while the insert says wash your hair, then apply to damp hair. I washed my hair and applied it that way. I also used a comb to distrubute throughout my hair, then I blow dryed it.
After my hair was dry, I found that my hair seemed dry and crunchy, which I didn't really like. The product also washed fully out the next day when I took a shower.
I feel that this product would be good if you want to be different for a day or 2. I will buy it again, and will dye my hair a lighter shade of blonde. I also have a daughter who I could use this on if she wants to have a day of "dressup" etc with mommy.

I received this from ChickAdvisor for free to give a try. It took a while to find as I live in a small town and don't often leave to shop at bigger places like Walmart.
I always taste things as they are before mixing because I like to taste things for what they are. This drink is so good! It's not as sweet as the other one, and not super bitter either. It seems to have the right combo of sweet/sour.
I mixed this with some rum and oh my, it was awesome! I'm not into drinking many different kinds of liquors so rum or vodka is my liquor of choice. I did notice a bit of a familiar taste to it, it reminded me of a slushie or a blue freeze. I think this would be a hit at a party or gathering, or just sitting around the camp fire. It's also something you could use to make your own "safe" slushies for the kids to enjoy on a hot day.
Would probably buy this again.

First, this product was hard to find. I live in a small town and I don't often leave to travel to bigger places to shop at places like Walmart. One of my grocery stores finally received it, so I'm glad that I was able to try it.
Upon tasting it just as it is, I noticed it's very strong in flavour. It's really sweet, yet has a bitter kind of taste. Using just regular ginger ale, I mixed just a little in a glass, and it was still kind of over powering - however, it was good!
I will try this with some rum or vodka and see how that goes. I'm thinking though, this product is one of those "a little will go a long way" types of products.

I received a free bottle of Orange Blossom body wash to try. First I noticed the bottle is not big and bulky like alot of other companies. It's also fairly flat, so it fits nice in just about any spot on the shelves in the bathtub. There was no fussing about, which was nice for once!
The scent was nice and sweet, yet mild.
I tried it for about a week, and just realized I went past the deadline for review, oops! Life happened, but during those days felt clean and fresh thanks to this product. My skin is nice and soft and clean feeling after my daily shower. I also find my skin isn't dry either, and as such, I haven't had to use any moisturizing cream which was also nice. Nothing worse than taking a shower, only to have to slather a bunch of lotion on cause it's dried you out like a prune!
I would recommend this product to friends and family, and would probably buy it again.

This margarine has a nice, mild taste to it. It's not over powering and can be used for anything - cooking, sandwiches etc. The best part that I like about it, is that it doesn't make my toast soggy! I have tried numerous other brands and they tend to make my toast instantly soggy, no matter how little I put on it. Soggy toast, with horrible tasting margarine is a quick way to ruin a good meal. This margarine is also more healthy, and the price isn't that bad, either.
I would recomend to friends and family, and will definately use it again.

I received this to try through Chickadvisor #GotitFree.
I am really impressed with this product. It tastes like a regular oil, but leaves a fresh taste to things you've cooked. I backed a cake and it turned out light, fluffy and moist. I also used a little when frying up some meat or veggies, and it kept the taste of my food and worked well.
I will most likely buy this product again.

I'd first like to mention my review is kinda late because I live in a small town and it sometimes takes a while for new products to find their way here. Also, at the time of actually finding it in local stores, we had just did a fresh litter change, so we waited till it was time to once again clean and change the litter.
I have 2 cats - one is an older cat and the other is only 3 years old. There are days where they drink more than others, which ultimately causes them to use the box more. Sometimes this can cause a headache when it comes time to clean the box, as there's stuck litter all over. It's wet, smelly and gross. Who has time these days to scrape smelly cement off the bottom and sides of a litter box?? My husband and I thought there was no way this litter would just "slide right out".
The scent was nice and mild. I don't mind scented cat litters as it helps in keeping a fresh scent around, but some can be terrible and over powering.
My cats love to dig around and while I'm thankful for having a covered litter box with a door, they tend to still make a mess all over the floor with their litter. This particular one seemed to stay more in the box, and less sent flying around my bathroom. That in itself was also a nice feature. There was also less smell during the time of usage - other litters after a day seem to smell no matter what you do to them, and this was virtually smell free till the end.
There was also not as much dust as some other litters have, and that was nice.
When it came time to clean up, it literally slid right out. I'll be honest, we slacked a bit with scooping and our usual upkeep due to being a little extra busy. But even still, there was no scraping and being grossed out by the stuff that is usually stuck inside.
I will definately mention this to friends who are looking for new cat litter to try, and may even purchase again. I find the price a bit high, but it is a new product and new items tend to start off on the higher end of things for a while.
I'm very glad to have gotten to try this item, and I think my cats were as well.
Thanks Chick Advisor and Arm & Hammer!

Upon getting this in the mail, first thing I did was smell it. The smell is more lime like rather than coconut. I'm not a fan of this smell at all, rather disappointing really.
The conditioner works well. I find you don't need alot - a little goes a long way. My hair is left nice and soft, manageable, and tangle free. There's no oily residue or anything left in my hair which is a bonus.
I'm undecided about buying again due to the smell. I like nice smelling hair products, and this doesn't live up to my preferences. It is a good product though.

That being said, this shampoo works well. My hair is left clean and there's no residue or oily feel to it. Combined with the conditioner, my hair is left light, soft and manageable.
