I received the Cottonelle Flushable Cleansing Cloths to try and wasn't really sure what to think of them at first. Without a dispenser it was a little awkward, but I just tossed them in a freezer bag and they didn't dry out at all. My kids loved them! When I first pulled one out to look at it I thought it was a little large and I was surprised by the mild scent, I expected it to be a lot stronger. I also expected them to be very wet, like baby wipes, but it wasn't. We live in an old home and I was worried about flushing issues, but no problem there either! Fantastic!
Overall, a great product but would work better in a dispenser instead of a freezer bag ;)

Thank you Chick Advisor for the opportunity to try and review the Febreze Card Vent Clip Freshers! Wasn't sure if I would like this as car air fresheners are normally very overpowering. I put this one in my car on the lowest setting and I'm very happy with it - I haven't had to adjust the setting due to a strong scent, it's very light and fresh. As for being able to overpower tough odors... Well, thanks to the Febreze car vent clip I had no idea that my son had left half of a bologna sandwich under his car seat for a couple of days until I cleaned out my back seat! Couldn't smell a thing!! -

I received the Loreal Professionnel Intense Repair Masque along with the Intense Repair Shampoo to try, and I love it! Thank you ChickAdvisor for letting me try this great product!
I found the masque quite easy to use, as long as I remembered to loosen the lid on the jar before I got into the shower! I didn't towel dry my hair, but instead used the masque as I would a normal conditioner and used it right after shampooing and left it on for a few minutes. It is thicker than normal conditioners so it stays on your hair, and you don't have to use a lot. , The scent is very light but doesn't last once your hair is dry. It rinses out easily and leaves my hair softer, smoother, and a lot more hydrated than any other product that I have tried! My hair looks healthy, and I just love how it feels now!
Downside: Price. As much as I love this masque, I really can't justify paying almost $30 for it. I know it works, and I wish I could continue using it, but it is exceptionally expensive. I would absolutely recommend it to my friends, but unfortunately its just not in my budget at the moment to pay $30 for this product.

I was very excited to receive the Loreal Professionnel Intense Repair shampoo to try! My hair is very dry and I'm always looking for a shampoo/conditioner that can make my hair look wonderful. I think I found it!
When I first received the shampoo, I was very surprised by the smell. It was very mild and not flowery like a lot of other shampoos. It kind of reminded me of bananas! I did find though, that the scent didn't last long and that once my hair was dry, there was no scent left at all. I would prefer to have a mild scent that lasted throughout the day, but its not a deal-breaker for me!
When I first used this shampoo I figured that I'd have to use a lot, as I have very thick, crazy hair. I was surprised that I only had to use a little to get a very good lather. I had no problems rinsing it out, and I noticed a difference right away. My hair was smoother, softer, and felt a lot more hydrated. I've used other products in the past that promise these results, but this is the only one that has actually delivered!
The only downside that I can find is the price. Its definitely a fantastic product, but at almost $30/bottle, I know its not something that I can afford to use regularly. I would absolutely recommend it to friends, but I will watch for it to be on sale before buying it for myself!

I was skeptical when I received this toothbrush to try, as I didn't believe that a toothbrush could give me a "dentist clean" feeling. After using this toothbrush for a week, I'm happy to report that it really does!! I found that the "clean" setting was almost too strong, but I got used to the feeling quickly. The 30 second pauses are a great idea, although I thought it was supposed to be an audible tone? Overall, a great product that I am excited about using and telling my friends about! -

I received this product as part of the product review club. I was really excited when I received the Whitestrips Express kit and was hoping for good results! When I opened the box I was surprised to see 4 tiny little foil pouches in a really big box - I know we're rating the product, but packaging could be a little less ;) I was also a little nervous about trying them as there were very basic instructions included with the package.
The strips themselves were super sticky. When I first put it on I was afraid that it would be sliding all around but it didn't! Once its in place, its REALLY in place, so you better get it positioned correctly on the first try. My teeth aren't perfectly straight and I found it a little awkward to try to get my teeth fully covered. As for tooth sensitivity, towards the end of the 2 hours I found that my teeth were a little achy, and I had a couple of sharp jabs of pain. That's when I decided that it had been long enough and went to remove the strips.... It was a little difficult to remove the strips but they finally came off leaving only a little bit of residue which came off when I brushed my teeth. I saw immediate results, whiter and felt so clean! The only downside is that a couple of my teeth are still a little yellow around the gumline where my teeth are uneven... but its hardly noticeable. And the pain/sensitivity went away pretty much as soon as the strips were removed. As for the retail price of the kit, I think it might be a little high (approx $60-$70), but I guess when you look at it as being 4 treatments its still cheaper than the dentist. Not sure that I would pay full retail for it though.
I have to say that I'm really surprised by the results of the Crest 3D Whitestrips Express, and very happy! I will definitely use the other 3 treatments (thanks Chickadvisor!) and will be recommending it to friends. I just hope it comes down in price before I have to buy it again!

I received 4 rolls of this toilet paper as part of the product review club. I made a lot of jokes about testing toilet paper but, all joking aside, this product is awesome! It doesn't have the "dust" that other toilet papers leave behind and its super soft. I also found that you don't even have to use as much. The only down side was that the tear lines are not as prominent as they are in other tp's, so I had to tear off a few and leave them folded up beside the toilet for my little guy so he wouldn't use the whole roll or destroy it trying to get a single little square off! Other than that, I'm happy with this toilet paper and have already made the switch - went out and bought a jumbo package today to replace the "crappy" other brand that we had (come on, you couldn't expect me to write a whole review on toilet paper without one little joke!)!
Thanks Chickadvisor!!!

I received samples of the new Aquafina flavoured water as part of the product review club - Thanks ChickAdvisor :)
I was excited to try the different flavours of water but I was really disappointed by them. The flavours were not strong at all - I thought that the apple/pear drink was horrid and the strawberry lemonade was a letdown for not being strong enough. The black and blue berry one was probably the best of the 3 because it had the most natural flavour, but with the Pure Via sweetener it left a horrible aftertaste. I would much rather drink the other vitamin waters that are available with no sweetener added or just plain water
The other downside was the size of the bottle. As the water warms to room temperature the taste gets worse.... if it was better tasting then the size wouldn't matter as it would all be gone before reaching room temperature!
This is definitely not a water that I will recommend to family or friends, but thank you for the opportunity to try it!

Febreze NOTICEables Dual Scented Pluggable Air Freshener in Morning Walk & Cleansing Rain

I received 2 Febreze noticables from ChickAdvisor in the lavender/vanilla and morning walk/cleansing rain scents. I have to admit that I was super excited when I got them and it was no problem to set them up and get them plugged in right away! I was like a little kid at Christmas :)
I have a dog that tends to get stinky, so I figured the walk/rain noticeable would be great to hide her, um, smells :) And it did. I plugged it in in our living room but I found it to be a bit overpowering. I turned it to the lower setting and now its tolerable... but I'm not sure that this is a scent that I'd buy myself.
I put the lavender/vanilla one in our upstairs hallway and its so nice to go to bed and smell something so wonderful and relaxing.... and wake up to it too! It wasn't overpowering at all, and even my kids commented on how nice it smelled and they don't usually notice things like that.
I really like that the scents change before you can "get used" to them - it seems that the scents in the noticeables last longer than other plug ins because it still smells new to me! I would definitely buy the Febreze noticeable again, and I would highly recommend it to friends.
Thanks ChickAdvisor and Febreze for letting me try these - Its going to be hard to wait those 30 days till I can try another scent ;)
