Both my husband and I tried the Pomegrate-Cherry Canada Dry club soda and were very disappointed with it.
Opening the first tin, the scent was very tantalizing, but the flavour is pure club soda. It was a terrible letdown as the smell made my tastebuds tingle, but there was absolutely no flavour of either pomegranate or cherry.

I was excited to try the Schwarzkopf Root Retoucher free from Chick Advisor. While the bottle looks wonderful, the instructions are hidden away so carefully that it required a magnifying glass to find them on the peel back label, after two messy attempts at using the spray. After reading the instructions my efforts were not rewarded much more than one or two percent.
Pros - The colour does match enough to get away with.
Cons - If you sleep in it your bedding will stain.
- It leaves your hair crunchy like old fashioned hair spray.
- Do not use for any activity you might work up a sweat at, or run
your hands through your hair then as it runs, stains towels, leaves
funky marks down your clothing and skin.
- If you dye your hair at home it is cheaper just to buy another box of
dye.

I received the Premier Protein Shakes from Chick Advisor to try. I have always been skeptical of claims made by many products, but was pleasantly surprised that the shake truly did give me an energy boost. The light flavour and texture did not make me overfull, and the second half of my physically demanding shift at work seemed easier, I even had some energy left once I got home! -

I loved the Premier Protein Chocolate shake I received from Chick Advisor for free to test. While it had the chocolate taste of chocolate milk, it was not overly sweet like milks, and it did not leave me feeling bloated or too full to work. My job involves hard physical labour and the shake gave me a great boost of energy making the second half of the work day seem much less strenuous than usual.
I will definitely be buying these to use at work, and am sure they would be great also for sports, workouts, and even tough school days!

I tried this for my sensitive dry skin but was disappointed in the lack of results. The lotion does soak in quickly but on my dry skin it also seemed to disappear without moisturizing. I was also not a fan of another scented product, most scents irritate my skin, are not permitted in my workplace, and I have no wish to smell like my granny's bath talc.
For those with normal skin the lotion would be effective enough I am sure, and the price is right for you.

My husband bought this as the factory he works in does not have air conditioning and working with heavy equipment and steel in temperatures above thirty degrees Celsius makes for sweaty pits. The first time he put in on and came near me I almost choked, the cheap perfumy scent made me feel like I was in a bordello, not with my man.
Thereafter he applied it after arriving at work, and reported back to me that it was actually less effective then his regular deodorant that costs half the price of the Dove. I definitely prefer my husband to smell like himself, and highly recommend passing on this one.

I bought this Dove body wash as I suffer from very dry skin, hoping that I would not need to moisturize three or four times a day, unfortunately this wash left my skin as dry as before, but also irritated and itchy.
I also found the scent overpowering and unappealing. I wish companies would stop acting as if we all love scented products,.
I would not suggest this Dove for anyone sensitive to scented products and/or with sensitive skin.

I was a bit skeptical when I first decided to try Vim, as it is half the price of my usual bath cleaner. It turns out that more money does not equal better quality. The light foaming action of the easy to spray Vim clung to the greasy bath ring from my husbands showers (he works with oily machinery all day), I left it sitting for five minutes then simply wiped with the sponge, rinsed and voila - a sparkling white tub.
It was just as effective on all areas in the washroom, and the one bottle goes a long way. Definitely a winner for those of us who clean but hate it.

On the days when the weather was dry, this worked very well for me, light and non greasy with soft touchable results. Unfortunately in the rainy humid weather my hair seemed to ignore the spray in and I ended up at work denying that I stuck a fork in the electric outlet. Perhaps this is better suited to tamer hair, but it does leave me feeling marvelous on those dryer days. I will definitely buy this in the winter! -

I was impressed with the results after using the shampoo and conditioner the very first time, but as I prefer not to shampoo more than twice a week I normally use conditioner only on the other days. What a shock to find out that using only the conditioner left my hair more tangled and dry frizzlike. I will continue to use the shampoo but the conditioner to me lacks any conditioning effects at all. -
