I got a small tester of this product, and boy am I glad I didn't spend money on the full size bottle. I can't say for sure if this actually benefits your skin at all, as I only tried it once and I certainly won't be going back to it. I like the SPF feature and the texture and the way it goes on smoothly and disappears into skin. What I absolutely despise is the fragrance. I feel like I'm rubbing floral perfume on my face and the smell lasted throughout most of the day. It was absolutely horrible and way too strong. I also do not consider myself to have sensitive skin, but when this went on it burned my skin. And I continued to feel a slight burning for a few hours afterward. That thankfully wore off eventually, but the smell most certainly didn't go away soon enough. -

I received Vitafusion MultiVites Gummy Vitamins from Chickadvisor for free in trade for my honest review.
I currently take Vitafusion's vitamin D gummy supplement as I am 25 weeks pregnant and had low vitamin D levels to start with, and I find pills very hard to swallow right now. I do plan to purchase that product again as the dosage is exactly what I need at 1000 IU per pill (I take 4 a day as studies have shown babies need little to no vitamin D supplements when the mother has been taking at least 4000 IU a day).
These Multivite vitamins are a gummy candy consistency (think gummy bears) and taste very good. The only problem is, I would not look at this as a complete multivitamin. And you would assume it is such since it says 'Multivite' and the summary at the bottom says 'To help maintain good health.'
For the people saying they've been taking this and have noticed a huge improvement in energy, all I can conclude from that is that they were severely malnourished prior to taking this vitamins. Because you do not notice any difference physically. You're just taking these vitamins hoping they have what they say they have in them, and they're not just glorified gummy bears.
These vitamins for a full size (about 150 I think, the trial size I got for free was 70) are about $15 (Canadian) or so. This is the breakdown of ingredients and vitamins included on the label, I've doubled the amount as it does say to take 2 gummies a day and the way they list the content is only for 1 gummy (which is a big mistake, you're forcing people to calculate themselves, despite the fact right on the directions it says to take 2. So therefore the ingredients listed and amount of each vitamin should be calculated for 2 gummies, not one).
Vitamin A - 2500 IU
Vitamin C - 30 mg
Vitamin D - 400 IU
Vitamin E - 15 IU
Vitamin B6 - 6 mcg
Folic Acid - 400 mcg
Vitamin B12 - 6 mcg
Panthothenic acid - 10 mg
Choline - 40 mcg
Non-medicinal ingredients:
Glucose syrup, gelatin, natural source flavours (orange, berry, lemon), citric acid, colours (cucumin, beta carotene and lycopene, blueberry extract, carrot juice), L-lactic acid, aqua, fractionated coconut oil and beeswax (yellow).
The product also says that it contains no gluten, milk, eggs, peanuts, shellfish, or soya (though was manufactured in a plant that contains soya).
These vitamins contain absolutely no minerals. So you're much needed calcium will have to be taken from another source. Along with Iron, Zinc, Magnesium, etc.
Despite taking the recommend dose on the bottle, you still won't be meeting your required amounts for vitamin intake for the majority of vitamins listed on the bottle.
In conclusion, if you have a very good diet with lots of veggies, fruit, protein, etc. then these vitamins would help to supplement your bare essential vitamins, but absolutely none of your minerals. Which for most people, even with a good diet, they can be deficit in.
But as most people who want to take vitamins have an average diet, or below average diet, you're better off looking at other brands to get a more complete multivitamin with higher dosage in vitamins and one that includes all your essential minerals. Vitafusion's MultiVites is NOT a complete multivitamin. The only thing it has going for it that I can tell is the ease of taking it, as it's just like eating a gummy bear.
I am grateful to Chickadvisor for providing me a free trial of Vitafusion's MultiVites, but I would most definitely not purchase this on my own.

Tom's of Maine Children's Fluoride-Free Toothpaste

I kind of like the taste of the strawberries, but I find that I just don't feel like it's cleaning my teeth as effectively as the adult version of Tom's of Maine. I suppose because it is meant for children, that would be the reason why it doesn't foam up a bit more. I'm assuming it's safe to swallow. But because of that, I find I have to use a lot more product and this bottle, despite being cheaper than the original Tom of Maine's and slightly larger, you end up paying more in the end because it doesn't last you as long as the original Tom of Maine's. I'll use this product until it runs out, but I won't be buying it again. I'll stick to the original. -

I like that this product is natural. I find it a little hard to find though in my local Walmart. Sometimes they won't carry it, other times they do. It's a bit pricey if you compare it to the larger bottles of toothpaste you can get for the same amount of money. But at least this product doesn't have fluoride. You can taste the baking soda, but it's not a very gritty icky taste, by any means. I find that it cleans my teeth very well, and considering the size of the tube, it lasts me a very long time I find. I would definitely buy this product again. -

This product works well in cleaning and exfoliating the skin. It doesn't leave the skin tight like using some cleansers will do. There's no scent, which is nice. The price is a bit much for the amount of product you get, but it does work better than most cleansers. I'm not sure how well this works on ridding your face completely of makeup, as I don't wear any, so I can't comment on that. I would buy this product again. -

I love the little scrubber that comes with the product and find that's pretty much the only exfoliating action that you get out of this product. The scent is a little bit strong, and the cleanser is okay in terms of getting rid of dirt and oil. But when it comes to actually exfoliating, I don't find this product works that well. I would not puchase this product again. -

This is the best moisturizer I have ever used. The ceramides and acid in it help to exfoliate your skin, and the other moisturizing ingredients really help to penetrate your skin and improve the softness of your skin. It truly is fragrance free (a lot of products will say 'unscented', but they'll have 'fragrance' or 'perfum' listed, thousands of chemicals can hide behind those titles). I find, for the amount you get, for this product to be a bit pricey. But it does work very, very well. There's definite lasting silkiness from using this product. I use it every time after I bathe (the best time to use moisturizer). And my skin has never been smoother. I will most definitely buy this product again. I also love the delivery system of the pump. -

DO NOT USE THIS SCRUB! Even if you don't have sensitive skin, the scrub particles are too uneven and will scratch the crap out of your skin. You don't see the damage, but as some people have mentioned, if you go to a dermatologist and get your skin closely examined, you will see that your skin is scratched all over. The apricot is way too abrasive and uneven to do a proper job. This product only does damage to your skin, please use any other kind of scrub. -

The price is great for the size of product you receive. The smell is okay, not too strong. I do find it moisturizing, but don't really think there's any lasting benefits to using it. I used this mostly on my hands during the winter months and had to reapply a lot to get any kind of benefit from it. But during the warmer months, it was suitable to use. I personally, would not buy this product again because I know there's better out there, but if you want an average lotion, this does the job. -

For me, this product does not work. I've never in my life had a skin reaction to any kind of cream or lotion I've used, but for some reason, Eucerin makes me break out in tiny little red bumps all over. I found this cream to be hard to rub in, takes quite a while to absorb. The price is average for the amount that you get. It did seem to moisturize well though. So it's a shame that I was allergic to some ingredient in this lotion. -
