I redeemed my free test product coupon at a Save On Foods Location and was surprised to see the regular price for a small bottle was almost $9. Much higher than alternatives. The liquid itself is pleasantly scented and very thick which makes it easier to measure. I used it in a dark load and a light coloured load on cold water wash. While this detergent cleaned and refreshed, as I expect any detergent to do, I did not find any special properties to it. Granted I didn't have any unusual stains to treat but it didn't get my dingy white socks any brighter than usual either.
My opinion would be to buy a separate stain remover product (which OxiClean also makes) and a lesser priced detergent for better results.

$16.150ml squeeze tube. Contains Shea Butter, Soya Oil and Glycerin. Paraben free.
I was not impressed with this lotion. Did not find it to have any lasting moisturization - skin still felt tight and dry after use. Its labled for 'extra dry skin' but may be more suited to regular skin.

200 ml tub. Contains Hemp seed oil from England and Shea Butter and Cocoa Butter from Ghana.
For very dry skin - $19
Has a strange smell but is amazing for dry, cracking skin. Use on knees, elbows, heels etc before bed (then the smell wont be a problem.) It is a bit pricey but I take advantage of the 2 for 1 or better sales and stock up.

Pleasant, fresh scent that doesnt compete with my perfume. Light texture that is fast absorbing - my skin quickly drank it up! After one week I was seeing great improvement with my chronically dry knees.

I bought this to use with a new primer and foundation I was trying out. I usually use a flesh toned powder but the advisor suggested this universal powder - its actually very white but works for me.
You flip the compact over and then upright before popping open the lid.This causes a measured amount of powder to be dispensed into the 'holding tray'.. Then I just dipped my big brush in, swirl a bit and apply. Repeat until you have your desired coverage. Lasted all day on my nose area - which is my problem spot. I love this powder but its quite small (0.24 oz) compared to drug store sized powders.

*Photo added to review album shows the new and old style buffers*
When I received the 2 pack of Revlon Buffers to test I had high hopes. You see I had a previous version that was at least a year old and works wonders, but very different from these chubby buffers. Maybe I got a defective set but the first time I used the heart shaped buffer, not only didnt it do much of anything, the green buffing texture started wearing off the pad. I suspect this isnt supposed to happen - at least it didnt with my old one.
As they can also be used to revive the shine of polished nails I tried that too. I had on a dark blue polish that was a few days old, used the white shine side but not much of anything happened again.
IF you can find the very thin (like 1/4 of the thickness), original version then yes! loved it! Worked great and I even used it on my hubbys nails...but I am very disapointed with the test product I got.

Revlon Spotlight Eyelash Curler

I love how easy this curler is to use. One handed function - no two fiddlely handles to work. I didnt even need a mirror to use it. The light is interesting but I dont really need that option. My only concern is how long the plastic flip down lever will last before it breaks, and how difficult it may be to find replacement rubber pads. -

Dove is an average product. It does lather very well and it cleanses my body just fine but not any better than most soaps Ive tried. I would stick to my less expensive but as effective bar soaps.
I dont use soap on my face so I cant comment on its effect/ineffect that way.
The main reason I would not purchase Dove is the overpowering scent. I could actually taste it in the back of my throat - and that's not pleasant.

I have been buying other Kelloggs All Bran Bar flavours for some time so when this new flavour arrived I jumped at the chance for a change of pace. Im soooo glad I did as they taste awesome! Much nicer that the chocolate chip or original. Even the scent of orange coming off the bar is so nice. The bar is sweet and satisfies a craving that may have led me to cookies or something not as good for me.
Each 30 gram bar has 130 calories, 9 grams sugar and 4 g fiber

I am very impressed with this product. I found the 'candy banana' like fragrance very nice and the consistancy is so thick and creamy you dont need to use alot. I wouldnt usually pay this much for a masque but as it proved its great quality I would recommend it! Even if it was a once a week treat and not used regularly.
I didnt follow the 'apply to towel dried hair' direction as I never do before any hair treatment, and that's just a hassle! After washing my hair, I squeezed out the excess water, applied and left it on aprox 10 minutes while I did my regular shower routine. As it had quite a slick feel on my hair, I was sure to rinse well. I usually apply a smoothing cream and air dry my hair but skipped the cream and viola - found it less poofy and no tangles! It worked equally well both with the matching L'Oreal shampoo or my regular shampoo. I can say I do prefer this masque to my usual drugstore branded hair treatment.
