I received this product as part of the Review Club. I love dry shampoo! I wash my hair about every 2-3 days, so I am a big user on day 3. What I liked: being a spray, it went on easily. It did help refresh my hair and it even felt thicker. What I did not like: I had a white film on my hair for the day if I put too much on. I had to be quick and specific about where I sprayed; sometimes it misted and sometimes it came out whiter. I would be inclined to use this it doesn't run out quickly as other spray dry shampoos have, but the thick feeling and whiteness really were off-putting. -

I received this product as part of the Review Club. I don't use hairspray often but when I do, I want it to hold without looking stiff or being sticky. I found that the Dove hairspray really lived up to its name, it was very flexible and if I ran my fingers through, they did not get tangled or stuck/sticky. Even a day when it was starting to rain ,the spray held up! I liked that I did not need to use much, the scent was pleasant and not overpowering. I could see myself using hairspray more often now. -

I received this product as part of the Review Club. I am a fan of dry oil for my body, especially after a beach vacation/end of summer, but I had not tried it on my hair before. Because I have a chin length bob, I found that I did not need more than 1 pump. More than 1 pump made it feel greasy immediately when I was blow drying it, and second day hair looked worse. I really like how it left my hair shiny and smooth, and made the ends lay flat and sleek. I think for the price, it is well worth it as it will last a long time; I can't see using it daily, maybe only monthly or when needed. -

I received this product as part of the Review Club. I found that I really did not need much of the product for it to be effective (I also have a chin length bob). My hair was soft and fell nicely, meaning no flyaways/static as well as laying nicely in its layers. I would use this conditioner again, with or without the matching shampoo. -

I received this product as part of the Review Club. I am a fan of Dove products and had used this product in its previous incarnation. There is a noticeable difference with the new formulation, one being that the shampoo is much thinner in its consistency. I also found that it didn't feel like my hair was clean (that squeaky feel-I know its not a good thing to look for). I wash my hair about 3 times a week, and it is in a short bob so I like a shampoo that doesn't make my hair look greasy the second dayy. I liked that I did not need to use much product overall. Until I use it more, I can't say if I like it better than the previous version. It does moisturize well and I had good volume using it, meaning that it didn't look like it was weighing my hair down. -

I received this product as part of the Review Club. I liked that the moisturizer went on smoothly and absorbed quickly into my skin. At the end of the day my skin still felt moisturized and not oily (as I tend to get at the end of the day). I can't say that I saw any difference in a brightening of my skin. I have some sun spots and freckles and they appeared the same as before the product. I usually wear a moisturizer with a much higher SPF, so I am disappointed that this has the minimum 15 SPF.
Overall, it was a good moisturizer but I didn't see any noticeable change in my skin's appearance.

I received this as part of the Chick Advisor Review Club. I am bad with taking off my makeup at night (mascara, shadow, concealer and eye liner) so I was very interested in trying this product off. I loved it! The water takes off the makeup quickly, with no stinging or residue. My own test is what my eyes look like in the morning, as some other products there is residue that appears the next day. I was happy that with the water, there was very little residue and it really depended on how attentive I had been the night before. I found I didn't need to swipe hard at my eyes to get the makeup to come off. Overall it was gentle, easy to use, there was no perfume (a plus!), it was non-oily and really effective. I would definitely buy this again and recommend it as a product. -

I received this as part of the swag bag from the Dufferin Mall Shopcrawl. I have had facialists say that my skin is dry but I hadn't really noticed it before I used this product. My skin was less tight after washing, and what sold me was when I forgot to put on moisturizer one morning and didn't notice because my skin was still soft as if I had put it on. I had to get around the use of a gel, it soaks in much quicker than a cream-based moisturizer. I like that there is no film left on my fingers and there is no scent to the product. -

I received this product as part of the review club and was really excited to install it! I found the instructions clear, and the the installation (as far as I got) easy. The pieces themselves have a solid weight to them that made me think security. I liked the fact that you could program multiple numbers, and that there was a light for at night for when you forget to put on the porch light (like I do often). Unfortunately, the hole in my door was too small and we did not have the correct tool to enlarge it, but we will this weekend! I can definitely see this going on our basement apartment door because then we wouldn't be making keys after each tenant. -

I was provided this product as part of the Review Club. I used it every morning but not at night. I liked that it went on smoothly and had decent coverage, i.e. I didn't need a large amount to cover my face and neck. I then put my normal moisturizer on about 5 minutes after. The biggest effect I noticed was that later in the day, I still had a fresh look to my skin and my skin felt hydrated throughout the day. I would have to use it without the Idealia Skin Sleep to really see what difference it makes on its own. -
