I received a free sample from Febreze and ChickAdvisor as part of their product review panel.
After using this freshener for a little over a week, i'm not completely sure i would buy it in the future. The scent on this freshener was very strong and we found we had to keep it on the lowest setting or else it became overpowering. If anyone was sitting directly in front of the vent, we had to turn it off because the scent was so strong. However, the scent itself was nice if it had been more subtle. The freshener was effective in freshening the car up, but again because the scent was really strong it became too much. The size of the clip was a little big for our car because it sometimes interfered with the controls, but overall it was very simple to use and installed very easily.
I would suggest this product for someone who needs to freshen up their car very quickly. but i wouldn't use it for a long term. I probably wouldn't purchase this again. The concept was very interesting though. It is pretty comparable in quality to other air fresheners but i'd say it lasts a bit longer than other ones might.

I also received a coupon from ChickAdvisor to buy this product and was excited to give it a try. I have skin that tends to be slightly dry, so i was curious to see if this moisturizer did anything to help it. Unfortunately, I was disappointed in the results. When i went to buy the product, i noticed the bottle was very small in size compared to other moisturizers i've used. Considering the size of the bottle, the price of the moisturizer seemed extremely high for what you were getting. If i didn't have the coupon for a free bottle, i wouldn't have purchased this product. When using the product, i found it very thick. It felt like it took forever to absorb, and i don't know if it ever did absorb. It constantly felt like my skin had a film of moisturizer just sitting on top of it, not soaking in whatsoever. It felt very heavy on my skin. I bought the "Mineral" type and found the scent was alright, although it seemed a little strong and couldn't really be paired with perfumes. Overall, i didn't love this product, and found that it didn't do anything special for me. -

I love this hand lotion. It works very well and does a better job than most moisturizers i've used. I have issues with dry skin, especially in the winter. My hands are normally very dry and rough during the winter season. After using this product, my hands were left feeling very soft and smooth. I was impressed with the fact i saw a difference the first time i used it. Typically, most moisturizers and hand lotions frustrate me because i find they take forever to soak in. However, this product soaks in very quickly and i was happy with the results i saw. It was very non-greasy which is also a plus because i hate having slippery hands all day. I have also found my cuticles stop splitting and cracking with the use of this product. The smell could be better; i personally think it smells slightly like celery after i put it on, but i don't find it too overpowering. Overall, i would definitely recommend this product. -

I think this product is great. Personally, i usually go for products with added moisture in the winter to keep my hair from drying out completely. I think the Hello Hydration shampoo and conditioner work great at keeping my hair moisturized and therefore soft and silky. My hair is smooth and shiny after using this product. The smell is incredible too; it smells like coconut and definitely has a summer-y kind of scent. The only complaint i have about this product is the fact it makes my hair look a little greasy/oily by the end of the day. Normally this isn't an issue with other products. Aside from this, i think Herbal Essences Hello Hydration shampoo and conditioner are nice products for a very reasonable price. -

This body wash didn't do it for me. I also got this product through the Product Review Club. I was excited to give it a try because it pretty much advertised all the things i want in a body wash. I used it faithfully for over a week and was somewhat disappointed in the results. It's pretty much your average body wash and does what most others do. I was mostly disappointed because i wasn't left with soft, smooth skin like i would expect from Dove. In fact, my skin almost seemed as dry, if not drier than it normally is. My skin was slightly flaky. I still felt the need to use a moisturizer after i showered. The body wash wasn't necessarily bad though. It is a much thicker formula than most body washes and has a nice lather to it. The smell was fresh and clean, and not too overpowering. It was nice and smooth and kind of glides over your body. So overall, the in-shower experience was alright. But i found it just didn't live up to what it advertised. So while it wasn't necessarily a bad body wash, it just wasn't amazing. I wouldn't reccommend it because it doesn't do anything that other body washes can't. -

I was very skeptical about this product to begin with. I doubted its ability to perfectly match my skin tone. But i was pleasantly surprised. There are three shades to choose from, making it much easier to find a shade that works. I, having fair skin, chose the "light" shade. It worked very well for me. It comes out white, then as you rub it in it turns slightly brown and eventually into your skin-tone. You definitely have to make sure you rub it all in and keep rubbing until it blends in. It gives a nice, light coverage and doesn't feel too heavy or caked on. I found it looks very natural if you use the right amount. I like the fact it has SPF in it. It is slightly expensive, but a little goes a long way with it, so it lasts a fair amount of time. It leaves my skin smooth and soft. I do agree though that if you want a foundation that has a ton of coverage and covers all blemishes and imperfections, this may not be for you. -

This moisturizer isn't anything overly special to me. I used it for a few months. It's very average. It does basically what most other lotions do. It moisturizes alright, and isn't necessarily over-greasy. But for my combination skin it didn't really do a whole lot. It left my skin slightly greasy and didn't do an amazing job of getting rid of my dry skin or flakes. But it's basically your average lotion. The scent was ok, but after using for a while i got a little sick of it. There really isn't anything extremely amazing about it that would make me want to recommend it. -

This moisturizer is great! I have had an off-and-on problem acne and currently take acne medication which has extreme drying effects and dries out my entire face. My dermatologist recommended i use this moisturizer and I've loved it ever since. It gets rid of my painfully dry skin, and eliminates all flakes. I can actually put makeup and powder on without having very obvious flakes on my face. I also don't have to worry about breaking out and haven't had a problem with it on my acne-prone skin. I have talked to many other people, acne-sufferers and not, who swear by Cetaphil. I would definitely recommend it. -

This powder works pretty well. It does what i expect a powder to. It gives me nice, even coverage and takes away shine. It gives me a matte look, and helps further blend with my concealer to help cover blemishes. It's a nice finishing touch to help sort of set my makeup and looks very natural. However, i wouldn't be able to use it alone for covering blemishes. Also, like most powders, dry skin becomes very apparent when wearing it. So i definitely suggest using a good facial scrub or moisturizer before putting this powder on. I have oily combination skin, and find i need to reapply mid-day, but it is very light and portable so it's easy to bring with you to reapply. It has a light scent, but can also be bought fragrance-free (it's the green one). -

I think this razor is great! It's the best razor I've tried this far. It leaves my legs feeling nice and smooth for days. A close shave is important to me. I personally can't stand the feeling of slight stubble that some razors leave behind. This razor satisfies my close shave needs. I am left feeling like the razor has truly shaved as close as possible. I also find its sleek design is easy to grip and works well for shaving even knees, underarms and bikini area. Since i have sensitive skin, i tend to get slight razor burn and bumps from most razors, but i find with Schick Quattro for Women this is very minimal. Any time i try different razors just for comparison or variety, i am always brought back to this one. Schick Quattro for Women gets the jobs done. I am very happy with this razor :) -
