I won this protein powder from being a member of That Clean Life. At first I wasn't sure about a vegan protein powder and whether it would be effective. This powder makes your smoothie taste like a vanilla cake! It is thicker than whey powders however. I am really liking it as my breakfast now tastes like dessert. -

I received this as part of the Review Club. I normally use whey protein powder on an almost daily basis, either vanilla or chocolate flavours (no brand favouite, whatever Costco has). I almost exclusively use powder in my smoothies, sometimes in yogurt. I found the Boost Just Protein to be ok, I liked the fact there it was unflavoured but then I missed what the flavour brought to my recipes. I also found it to be a bit gritty and not as smooth as my current product. I did appreciate that the scoop was small and the instructions indicated how many scoops to get the fullest amount of protein per serving. That said, if using 3 scoops daily, I can see that the container would be used up very quickly.
I am putting that I am not recommending it, however, it is from my own personal reaction and preference.

I received this product as part of the Review Club. I try not to wash my hair often, every fourth day. So dry shampoo is a big part of my beauty bag. I found that the Dove Volume really did a good job. I had some instant volume (though is fell within an hour, but that is normal for my hair), it did not leave a white residue as some other products have, and the scent was not overpowering. I found even the day after using it, my hair felt thicker and much less oily. -

I bought this at a time when I thought I was sweating a lot and my shirts felt damp. This was almost too strong. I did feel that I was dryer, but the trade-off was that my underarms felt like there was a film on them that would not wash off the next day. It also still left a trace of white if I put a shirt on too quickly after applying, as it is a creamier application than the normal stick. I only use it now in really hot, humid weather. -

I had this bottle, along with the shampoo, as travel sizes. I really like them! The conditioner did not weigh my hair down (my hair is fine and limp by the second day usually). I found I did not have to use much, which I appreciated. Whether it helps with breakage, I won't know until I have a full sized bottle and use more regularly than just travelling. -
TRESemmé® Anti-Breakage Breakage Defense Shampoo
I don't know how I got a travel size of the shampoo, but it has been great! I found that it did a great job, left my hair feeling light and clean and I did not have to shampoo twice. Will definitely grab a full size bottle soon!

I received this product as part of the Review Club. I liked the fact that the moisturizer was unscented. It went on smoothly and absorbed into my skin really quickly, leaving behind soft skin for the day that did not feel greasy at the end of the day. The consistency was very light, and slightly thin. Something that I liked was that the bottle gave instructions on how to put on the moisturizer (upward and outward), a little thing but good instructions -

I received this product as past of the Review Club. I found that the water was pretty effective in removing my eye makeup (shadow, liner, mascara) but the next morning I would still find black rings under my eyes. I did like the non-oily feeling of the water and that it didn't sting or dry out the skin around my eyes. -

I think I received this in the swag bag from the Dufferin Shopping Crawl with Chick Advisor. I decided to try it because my normal body lotion was still making me feel dry during the day. This lotion is the best!!!! It goes on so easily and I feel great all day long. We went to Mexico over Christmas and my skin always gets hyper dry about 2 weeks later. Using the in-shower body lotion really helped alleviate that problem.I have even skipped the next day and my skin still felt great. I don't think I may use a traditional body lotion again. I even got my husband to use it. He found it more convenient to have as part of his shower routine than remembering after he got out. -
