I would definitely buy Dial's bodywash after trying this product for free in exchange for my review from XY Stuff.
It suds up really nice, smells good, washes away easily and though I'd never use this as a shampoo (I've never been that cheap or lazy) it works awesome as a bodywash.
I definitely recommend this product.

I received the Tresemme hair spray from chickadvisor for free in exchange for my honest review.
First, I didn't care at all for the smell. And unfortunately that smell stuck around ALL DAY! Plus it made my hair sticky and clumpy. It doesn't compare at all to other hair spray I've tried.
It barely left any texture in my short hair. Making hair clumpy and knotted isn't exactly attractive in the way of what little texture it did leave.
It did stick around all day, so I guess it has that going for it...
I wouldn't recommend this hair spray to anyone.

I received a free product coupon for Breyers Delights from chickadvisor in exchange for my honest review.
I originally was looking forward to the cookies and cream flavour, but had to choose vanilla bean because it was that or chocolate at my local valu-mart (I'm in a small city).
First, this is not ice cream. I had thought it was since Breyers is known for good quality ice cream. It's actually a "frozen dairy product." (Skim milk) And unfortunately the flavour of "vanilla bean" is not provided from any real vanilla beans, or even vanilla extract. The flavour comes from "natural vanilla flavour." Whenever that is listed on a product, it means there's a whole bunch of chemicals to provide that flavour.
Now all that trickery would be fine if the frozen dessert tasted good. Or was at least affordable. But Breyers Delights is neither. My local store charged $7.30 for a 500ml container. Thankfully I didn't pay. Otherwise I'd be going for the cheaper and much richer and better tasting Ben and Jerry's chocolate chip cookie dough ice cream. As for the flavour of Breyers Delight in vanilla beans, there is the slightest hint of vanilla. But otherwise it tastes like you're literally eating chunks of frozen skim milk plain. It's definitely not a taste you can acquire.
If you're going for this product based off the very low 250 calories for 500ml of frozen dessert, I really recommend just having a smaller serving of your favourite real ice cream. Just make room for it in your calorie budget for the day. Because it's not worth wasting a cheat meal on eating cold skim milk.
In conclusion, because of the high price, lack of flavour and lackluster ingredients, I do not recommend this product.

It's been ages since I had corn twists and boy did these hit the spot. I really enjoyed eating Old Dutch's Popcorn twists. They have the perfect crunch. Great taste (obviously no nutritional value). And they melt in your mouth (but not super fast and they don't turn into a weird powder like Chester's corn twists). I will definitely buy these again and highly recommend them. It's unfortunate that they obviously can't have a higher star value because they have no nutritional value. -

I recently had Old Dutch corn twists and they were awesome. Perfect texture and taste. I saw Chester's corn twists and figured their crunchy Cheetos are pretty good. Unfortunately the texture does not translate to their corn twists. The taste is bland and worse yet they dissolve too rapidly. You can break it with your tongue. I would not recommend these to anyone. Definitely would not buy these again. -

I received Got2B's Creative in Electric Blue for free in exchange for my review.
It came out of the bottle in a bright blue, which looked promising. It was very creamy and easy to spread on the hair. Unfortunately Got2B doesn't believe in good customer service so there was sufficient instructions provided to show that your hair should be a very pale blonde before even attempting this hair colour. My dark hair was only lightened to a dark orange. The resulting colour was green after applying the blue.
What makes me most furious is the fact that the company lies and has false advertising by claiming that Creative is a TEMPORARY hair colour. It is NOT temporary. It literally stains your hair. I shampooed my hair a total of about 60 times in the shower. Until it got to the point where hardly any green was coming out of my hair anymore. Although every time I shampooed I got that really unpleasant chemical stentch from the colouring agent. I ended up having to pay $80 out of my own pocket to fix my hair and return it to a normal hair colour.
I sent an email to Got2B's customer service about 2 weeks ago and have yet to receive a reply. I think that's pretty subpar customer service.
I would most definitely never buy this product in the future. In fact, I'm having second thoughts about ever buying another product from Schwarzkopf ever again.
I included a photo of my hair freshly dyed, you can see it's slightly blue, but mostly green in spots. And then in the picture with the pink pajamas I show the horrible ashy-green colour my hair turned to. I had to walk around with that hair for a little over a week before I could scrounge up the money to get it fixed.

I am not impressed at all about Got2B's bleach. I'm even less impressed by Got2B's customer service. Or lack there of.
I have very short thick dark brown hair. There wasn't enough product to cover it all. The shape of the bottle also made it difficult to even squeeze the product out.
There wasn't enough instruction on exactly how light your hair should be before using Got2B's brighter colours provided. Had I known my hair should have been a paler blonde instead of a light orange, I never would have bothered dying my hair further. I answered the survey describing my hair colour and the makers of Got2B should have known that a second box of lightener was required to get my hair to the desired lightness before colouring.
I also found it hard to tell where I applied the lightener. There should have been more of a tint to it to be able to tell where it went on my hair. I also found the hair 'conditioner' (it's technically not a conditioner) awkward to use since you had to wash the bleach out first, step out of the shower and then towel dry your hair, step back in the shower and apply the 'conditioner'.

Fiber 1 Chocolatey Fudge Brownie tastes like the real deal. For 90 calories this is like a very small portion of a real brownie. The texture is like a soft baked, fudgey bar.
Nutrition wise, it does pretty good at only 7g of sugar, 3g of fat, 1g of protein and 5g of fibre. I do think they could easily up the fibre and protein content without sacrificing taste. Even if that were to add 10 calories to make this an even 100, it would be worth it.
I will definitely buy Fiber 1 Chocolatey Fudge Brownies again (when they're on sale, because regular price for only 5 bars is a rip off). And I won't be saving any more money on no name rip offs. You definitely notice a change in the taste and texture.

Fibre 1 Cinnamon Bun flavour is actually pretty close to that of the real thing. It doesn't have that same melt in your mouth consistency and they're a bit stingy on the frosting taste. But everything else is good. Tastes pretty strong of cinnamon. I would buy these again if I wasn't craving chocolate.
Nutrition wise, they're a pretty decent snack at 90 calories. I wish they could pack some protein in there too. And one bar contains 8g of sugar, which is decent, but i feel like it could and should be less. Fiber is only 5g. I feel like they do better there too. I do like how short the ingredient list is.
I would recommend Fiber 1 Cinnamon Bun flavour to anyone looking for a light snack to hit that cinnamon bun or pastry craving. Stock up when they go on sale. Because regular price is a rip off for only 5 bars. (The photo shows 6 of "cinnamon cake" which is not true to title).

President's Choice Fibre Chocolate Brownie

President's Choice Fibre Chocolate Brownie (made with "ancient grains" - whatever that means), might look like it's a good (and cheaper) substitute for Fibre One's Fibre brownie, but it's not. Not even close. Calories are good at 90 calories a bar and 5g of fibre. It also has 3.5g of fat, 17g of Carbs (not too shabby with only 5g of sugar) and a measly 1g of protein.
It looks like it tastes. Dry and with the faintest hint of chocolate. If you're watching your calories and are craving something chocolate, seriously, go for the brand name. Even Fibre One's brownie isn't that great, but it's more moist and more chocolate brownie like than President's Choice version. President Choice usually gets their food right, but in this case, it's a pass. And you honestly only save a few cents going for the President's Choice version, so it's not worth it even for those savings.
