I received this product in my swag bag from Dufferin Mall Crawl. After reading the ingredients (Butane, propane, isopropane, alcohol..) I was reluctant to try it on my hair, and rightly so! I tried it on my dad in hopes it might be something he could use as he finds it hard to wash his hair as often as he used to due to breathing problems. I held the bottle well back and sprayed lightly.. And nearly died laughing at the sight!! His dark brown hair was greyish-white and beyond dry!! I combed it trough hoping it would spread evenly and blend in, that didn't happen! What happened had both my dad and I in tears from laughing so hard! I was able to comb his hair straight up into a mohawk!! Better yet, he shook his head around and his hair didn't move!!! -

I was excited to receive this in my swag bag at Shop Crawl as I had heard a lot about it but couldn't seem to find it in my area. Having eczema, my skin is always dry and itchy, regardless of how much moisturizer I use. I am typically stuck using creams and products made for eczema which tend to be absurd prices! This is the first product I've used in years that actually moisturizers my skin! I LOVE IT!!! My skin doesn't itch nearly at all, and better yet I don't need to use other lotions that can run $30-$80!! My skin is especially hard to maintain at this time of the year when the air is so dry, and this absolutely does the trick to combat that! I'm so impressed!!! The only issue I have with it is that it makes my shower extremely slippery!! Luckily I have a grab bar, as I've nearly wiped out a few times while rinsing the cream off, so that is one thing to be aware of when using it. But over all, I absolutely love it!! -

I cannot express how shocked I am that I LOVE this product!!!!! I got a sample of Gay Lea Nortica Smooth Cottage Cheese, Vanilla Bean flavour, at #ElevateLoungeTO. I had tried a few kinds of cottage cheese over the years, and it didn't matter what flavour, I couldn't stand it!! When the girl serving the samples said it was smoother and almost like yogurt, I thought it was worth a try.. I am SO GLAD I tried it!!!
Unlike other cottage cheeses, like the name states, this is a very smooth, creamy texture. Similar to yogurt, but a bit thicker. The rich vanilla flavour was natural tasting, not like some fake tasting vanillas found in some similar products. I was surprised that this product also kept my hunger at bay for several hours! Additionally, as I am unable to tolerate much protein, I was surprised at how my body accepted it! It was absolutely fantastic!! I will definitely be purchasing tons of this product!!! It would be great as a snack, or even as a nice treat as it also satisfys a sweet tooth. I am also excited to try using it in recipes! Very versatile product! Definitely will be purchasing!!

I got a sample of Nexxus Therapee Caviar Complex Shampoo at #ElevateLoungeTO. I had never tried Nexxus products before, partly due to price and them rarely being on sale, but also due to previously negative experiences with main stream brand hair care products. So many main stream products make big promises they do not deliver on, and often left a film on my scalp, making my hair dry, and leaving my head dry, flakey, and extremely itchy!
I am SO EXCITED to positively review this product!! When I first applied it to my hair, I was shocked to realize that I did not need nearly as much as I would typically use! I have long wavy/curly hair, so it's typically not unusual to have hand-full globs of product! Applying half of the amount I would typically use, I already felt the softness in my hair! Typically, applying shampoo leaves my hair full of suds, and working it through made my hair feel extremely dry, and basically like a rats nest full of knots! This would require my to apply globs of conditioner! Using conditioner wasn't primarily about helping my hair so much as it was just giving me the opportunity to get a comb through it to get the knots out! Because the shampoo didn't dry out my hair so badly, it remained manageable! I only required half the amount of conditioner that I would typically use, there wasn't any knots, and I didn't need to brush it at all while it was still wet!!
My hair was already soft and manageable before applying the Nexxus conditioner! I was worried about the softness as this typically would result in my hair being poofy, frizzy, and unmanageable, requiring more products, especially on high humidity days! I allowed my hair to air dry and was completely shocked by the result!! I used no additional product, and my hair was soft, silky, so much lighter than it usually is, absolutely no frizz, super shiny and healthy looking, and enhanced colour that not only showed off my highlights, but actually looked like I had several different shades of highlights and low-lights! It enhanced the died colour, but actually made it appear like my normal hair colour!
Additionally, I would typically wash my hair twice a week due to it becoming heavy, frizzy, greasy, dull.. It's been a week since trying this item, and not only does my hair still look like it was just washed, but it still behaves like it was just washed!! It's completely manageable, not greasy, not flakey or itchy, still light weight, and still very shiny!!
I didn't use any additional products this week! I didn't even need to use any additional items or oil to straighten my hair a few days ago, several days after washing it! Additionally, straightening my hair left it so soft and shiny, and it didn't make crackling sounds as if my hair was burning, like it usually does with oils!
I will absolutely be purchasing this item again, and am so excited to try the different items Nexxus has on the market!
This is one item where the higher price actually reflects the higher quality of product!!
