Good & Simple Blueberry Oatmeal Bars
I tried good & simple blueberry oat bars as part f the review club and quite enjoyed them. They were a bit small but tasty and a good option if you don't have time to bake. I'd buy them again.

I tried Good and simple banana bran muffins for the review club and was impressed with the quality and flavour of these muffins. Most store bought muffins have a slight chemical taste but these did not. They were slightly heavy and a bit more greasy than homemade but are a good choice if you don't have time to bake. I'd definitely buy them again. -

I received a sample of this deodorant from the review club.
It was ok. Not a huge fan of the scent so I probably would not buy it again. It worked well enough but wasn't so great that I would switch from my regular brand. The formulation is quite creamy and so goes on smooth, but not so creamy/soft that too much goes on at once. I did not test the 48 hour claim so I don't know if it works that long.
The applicator is a bit oddly shaped so the size of the actual deodorant is kind of small compared to other brands. Because of this I felt like I had to go over the area few times to make sure I got it everywhere. This plus the heavy scent are why I would not recommend the product. However, if you like the scent its a good product so give it a try.

These wipes worked well and removed all my eye make up in just a few swipes. They seemed gentle and left my skin feeling quite soft. I cannot however recommend these as something in them made my skin burn. It was uncomfortable enough that I had to rinse and the wash my face immediately after using the wipes. As with most Nivea products they are quite heavily scented so possibly the perfume irritated my skin (although the other products I tested from the review club sample pack did not irritate me and had the same scent).
I would not use these again but for someone who doesn't experience the same uncomfortable tingling, they are a good option for a cleansing wipe.

I received a tube of this lip balm in a review club sample pack and loved it. I have been looking for a good lip balm for quite some time. Most are either too greasy they feel heavy on my lips or so light that they wear off and need to be re-applied constantly. This balm lives in the happy middle ground. Its rich enough it lasts for a long time but not heavy or gloopy feeling.
Unlike most Nivea products, this one is almost unscented! it has a very light slightly sweet almost fruity scent and no flavour.
All around a great lip balm.

I received a bottle of this cleansing lotion from the review club. As with most of the products in the Nivea bundle, I did not expect to like this product as much as I did. It effectively removed make up and left my skin feeling clean nd fresh but not dry at all. It left my skin quite soft and moisturized even before applying any lotion. My skin actually felt so good I didn't even need moisturizer some nights after cleansing.
The only cons are that it does have a strong scent (the traditional Nivea scent), so it would not be good for anyone who doesn't like the smell of Nivea lotion or who is sensitive to perfumes. if they made an unscented version without parabens it would be perfect.
I'd consider buying this product in the future.

There's a reason this is a classic...
I received a sample of Nivea Crème through the Cick Advisor review club and I'm glad they reminded me how great Nivea is!
This is a solid all over moisturizing cream. Although the package indicates it is safe for the face, I would be hesitant to use it as it is very rich and might be too heavy. For every where else it is fantastic. Very soothing for dry skin. Not irritating despite the quite strong perfume. If an unscented variety were available I'd give it 5 stars across the board as the scent is still quite strong, slightly medicinal slightly floral. However, it's also the same perfume this cream has had forever so it is a bit nostalgic. Putting it on reminded me of being a kid and playing with my moms products. Price wise, this cream is relatively inexpensive as a little goes a long way. It's also very easy to fid and is readily available in most drug stores.

YUM.
Received a set of 5 of these to sample from the review club. They are absolutely delish. I've tried many meal replacement and protein bars in the past and most taste not great. These are very dense and fudgy with a bit of chew. There are also rice crisps in there that give the bars a nice crunch. Overall a great option for a morning when I'm too rushed to have breakfast and to keep in my desk for crazy days when I don't quite have time for lunch. The meal plan included was reasonable and I fully intend to try the full plan in the future.

Received a free sample of this through the product review club and really wanted it to work as promised. Unfortunately, I didn't enjoy this product at all. I didn't feel like it gave me any more energy than just a cup of coffee on it's own would. The only effect it had was to give me a slight nagging headache all day. Perhaps with continued use the combination of herbs would work to give you more energy but as a pick me up in the morning it didn't work for me at all. -

Having never used a micellar water before I wasn't sure what to expect with this product. I was pleasantly surprised as it gently but effectively removed all traces of eye makeup. It was also a very gentle soothing cleansing water. Due to the dry cold weather lately my skin has been quite dry and this was a nice soothing way to cleans my skin without over stripping it of oils. It would likely also be a good soothing cleanser in the summertime. Finally, the bottle is huge for the price paid making this a very cost effecting option compared to many of the overly expensive toners out there that don't work nearly as well -
