Love them - they were a hit with the whole family, actually. The price was great, as they were on sale at the local grocery store last week, and we used them to make our own poutine (packaged gravy, lots of cheese - a family tradition). They were perfect - not greasy, and stayed crisp and good even soaked in gravy. Loved them! -

Mr. Clean Multi-Surface All-Purpose Cleaner with Febreze Freshness in Lavender Vanilla & Comfort
I love the smell, and it works just as well if not better then other more expensive cleaners I have tried on my rather old and worn floors. The smell alone, fresh with no chemical smell, will cause me to buy this one again, even without a sale!

I received this product as part of the Product review club.
I have been using the product since I received it four days ago. I am not usually a fan of SPF face moisturizers, and although I know I should use them everyday, I must admit that I haven't been the last few months unless I knew I would specifically be spending time outside. This product is very different then the others. I find others to be slightly greasy with a heavy scent. Clearly Brighter has a light texture when dispensed (and I have no issue with the dispenser - it works delivering the same amount to my fingertips every time and so far no clogs or problems). Only a small amount is needed, so it looks like the provided bottle will last for awhile.
It glides on smoothly, with only a light scent (which seems very refreshing in itself - not quite mint, not quite citrus, but energizing). To my surprise, it absorbed very quickly, and left my skin feeling "tight". Within the first two days of using it, my skin feels tighter and smoother. I have not noticed the physical effects looking in the mirror yet, but it's only been four days. The feeling, however, is immediate and would be worth every penny to me just for that. This morning is the first time I have worn make-up over the moisturizer, and it applied perfectly over it, with no changes to the look or texture of my regular "routine".
I am very impressed with this product, and look forward to see the results going further as I continue to use it.
Thanks for the opportunity to try it - I think I've discovered a new favorite I may not have otherwise!

I received this as part of the Product Review Club. I love the scent, very light with just a touch of "spring" - it smells very fresh and clean. For the first 30 seconds or so, I don't think I was going to like it, as it felt a little "thick" on my face, as opposed to the toner I usually use. However, it absorbed very quickly, leaving my face feeling smooth. I haven't used it long enough to notice any physical changes yet, however, my skin FEELS FANTASTIC - tight and smooth, with a fresh scent. It feels great in the evening helping to take away the stresses of the day, and even better as a "wake-up" in the morning. I will definitely be purchasing this product again - my regular toner/cleanser of the past several years does not even compare to it. Great product! -

Usually if one of my teenage boys does not like a product like this, the other one does and it will get used by one of them. However, both complained about the strong scent of Apollo Spray (and bodywash), and it was thrown out instead of used. My youngest complained that it made his eyes water, even in small amounts. -

I received this as a gift, so am not sure about the pricing, however, I love the product. My eyelashes are long naturally, so I don't use mascara on a regular basis, and found this perfect for my needs. I love the color, and it was easy to apply. It seemed a little thinner then most mascaras, which worked perfectly for me. It stayed for my event and was easy to remove at the end of the night. -

I received this as a gift and loved it - it worked exactly as it was supposed to, with just a very light scent and not at all greasy. I loved it so much I intended to buy more to continue using it, however, it is priced a little out of my budget. It's a great product, just a little too expensive for me to continue using. It's on my birthday wish list, though! -
Baileys Original Irish Cream Liqueur
There is always a bottle in my house - added to coffee on weekends, over ice while reading on lazy afternoons, added to inventive drinks with friends. The perfect luxurious treat for myself, without the luxurious price of other "treats".

I usually drink plain black coffee, so anything flavoured for me is a treat and must stand alone, as I do not add milk or cream. This is an excellent treat, and I very much enjoyed the taste, but found it to be a little more expensive then my usuall brands and therefore probably will not purchase it too often. -
