I used this serum twice a day for about 2 weeks before writing this review. On the first day, I thought I felt a tingling when I applied the serum but didn't experience it any other time. After about 2 weeks, my skin felt a bit sensitive so I stopped using the serum for a couple of days. I think my skin looked brighter and smoother after the 2 weeks of use. I plan on adding it into my routine for a week every month. I received a sample of this serum for writing this review. -

I received a sample of this moisturizer as a part of a promotion to review. The suncreen is not greasy at all. It has a thickness to it that made it a little hard to spread over my face in the winter. I assume that in the summer, when I'm warmer, it would be just fine. I love that it is SPF 30. My usual moisturizer is on SPF 15 so I'm excited to try this when summer hits Southern Ontario. This moisturizer has a slight whiteish cast to it, which may be more noticeable in the summer. -

This lotion has a nice light scent to it. It felt cool to the skin and was very quickly absorbed. I used it in the winter and my legs and body felt moisturized all day. I was not used to the gel feel and at first doubted whether it would be effective, but it proved to do a good job at preventing any dry and scaly patches from forming. The lotion is a light blue colour.
I received this product to try for free in return for this review.

I like fizzy water and I was excited to give this a try. I don't taste the pomegranate very much but the cherry taste was there. I love this on a hot day, over lots of ice cubes. I normally get watermelon or mandarin flavoured sparkling water. This is a nice addition to the drinks menu for the summer. -

I #gotitfree through the Chick Advisor product review club. It took me a long time to work up the energy to try it. In the time between applying for the review product and the time I got selected, I had changed my hair colour. It had been a deep auburn, but then I changed it to black. Once my roots started to show quite a bit, I decided there was no harm in giving it a try. I would describe it as a coloured hair spray. It is relatively easy to use, although you have to keep the bottle upright. Spraying some of the hair on top while keeping it upright is not easy. The spray feels cold hitting your scalp. My scalp was coloured a pinky red by the auburn sample I had. Once your hair is sprayed, you can't really comb or brush it. It washes out so it is good for a couple of days and then it's gone. You have to decide whether it's worth the effort of continuing to use the spray before you colour your hair again. -

The texture of the bar is easy to eat - soft, chewy and not dry. The flavour is mild and not too sweet. The bar would be handy to have around after a workout or if you need a healthier alternative to a chocolate bar. I ate it for my mid morning snack and I was full until my late lunch. -

I thought the bar tasted pretty good. I like lemon poppyseed flavours in general and this hit both notes. The texture was good - soft, chewy and not too dry. I generally buy clif builder bars which are very chewy and sometimes need a lot of water to get through. This Power Bar didn't have those problems. My only complaint was that I had some explosive after effects from this bar. It shot out of me with some force! Sorry if that's TMI, but I was so worried about this effect that I couldn't try the other flavours while I was away at a training camp. I needed to be able to get to a washroom, just in case. You might not have this effect. -

I received this as part of the chick advisor product review club. The cream didn't have a strong scent and moisturized my hands very well. I wouldn't use it on my face - it feels too thick for that. I tried it during the summer and my hands felt good. I would need to try it during the winter to see if it is a keeper. -
