I am such a fan of this antiperspirant! First off...it doesn't leave white stains on my clothes...which is huge! It has a very lovely cucumber scent, probably my favourite scent of all deodorants/antiperspirants. It smells fresh and clean. Most importantly of all...I don't sweat! And believe you, me...I am a sweaty gal! -

Let me start by saying that I am a fan of this product, for the most part. The scrub is very creamy, and the micro-beads are non-abrasive, which my sensitive skin thanked me for. The downside is that it didn't lather very well, which means you're using more product.
My skin is definitely clearer after using this scrub every other day for 3 weeks. It's quite mildly scented so it shouldn't be an issue for those with scent sensitivities.
My only other problem with this product is the high price point. The scrub works well, my skin looks and feels great, but I can't see myself spending $20 for a facial scrub when I can get a comparable product for less than half the price. If it goes on sale, I would consider purchasing again.

I have had amazing success with Vichy products in the past (thank you Chick Advisor for past campaigns) and I really wanted to like this one too...just from the name alone. The first time I used the Fresh Cleansing Gel I broke out. (to be fair, my skin is prone to break outs, and we were in the middle of a crazy hot spell...so it may be due to that.) I was ready to give up...but promised Chick Advisor that I would give it a 2 week try. Oh boy...am I ever glad I did.
The pimples were definitely due to the weather, and after 4 days of using this product, they cleared right up. My skin has been fabulous in the 2 weeks that I've used the product,
There is a very mild scent (not enough to concern those with scent sensitivities, I don't think.) The foaming action is amazing...takes very little water to get the suds. After 2 weeks my skin is soft, soft, soft...and not zits!!
I would 100% recommend this product too friends and family. Hell... I'd recommend it to complete strangers too!!

I received a free sample of this product in the mail, and thankfully it was a large enough sample that I could use it a couple of times...enough to give it an honest review. (note: this review is from washing my hair in lake water, so city water may not bring same results)
Soft?? OMG, hair was so soft after using this product!! I colour my hair at home, so it tends to be dry unless I use a colour shampoo...and I had no problem with Dove Regenerative. My hair was softer than normal, great scent. (for those with scent sensitivities...be careful. It's a lovely smell...but fairly strong )
Bottom line, my hair felt squeaky clean, and I had no issue with my colour fading. I would 100% recommend this product to friends and family.

Disclaimer: I received this product for free from the Chick Advisor Product Review Club in exchange for my honest and unbiased opinion.
I love this product, I really do. Removes even waterproof makeup very easily and effectively with no tugging or pulling. It did leave my eyelids a little oily, but that's no an issue, as makeup removal is only the first step in my cleansing routine. No issues with my eyes stinging or burning, the cleanser was very gentle.
My only issue is the price point. I find it fairly expensive ($19.95). So while I would definitely recommend the product, I don't know that I would purchase it when my $8 bottle of micellar water has pretty much the same results.

I've purchased Salada green tea when it was on sale, not my usual brand. It's a decent tea, lots of flavour...but really no different than any other green tea on the market. I've tried it hot, and iced (both with a Stevia packet), and definitely prefer it hot. When iced, the flavour seems a little "off".
Would I recommend it? I dunno...I give it one thumb up. But I would buy it again if it goes on sale.

I traded my Keurig in for a Tassimo a few months ago, but when I still had the Keurig, I ALWAYS had a box of the Lipton Berry Hibiscus K-Cups on hand. They have a really fresh berry flavour, with just a hint of flower scent. I usually had one in the evening while relaxing after work. I found this tea very soothing. Great hot AND over ice. I just usually add a Stevia packet to my tea, making it a bit sweeter.
I recommend this product, and wish I could find them in Tassimo pods.

This is, in my humble opinion, the best bronzer on the market. It's a little on the expensive side ($38.00 CAD at Sephora) but well worth every penny. It has 2 colours which can be used separately, or swirled together for the ultimate fake bake. It's not too orangey or shimmery...just a beautiful "natural" sun-kissed glow.
I would recommend this for any skin tone.

I can't say enough good things about this dessert! A classic combination of chocolate, espresso and mascarpone cheese all swirled together. The first bite hits you with the coffee flavour (I wasn't sure if I liked it at this point...the coffee taste was quite strong)...but then the other flavours take over. The sweet chocolate, the rich mascarpone...it is seriously Heaven in a bowl!
At 130 calories and 4.5g of fat per 1/2 cup, it's a treat to have once in awhile...but still 25% lower in fat than other Chapman's brand ice creams.
This will be THE flavour of the summer for me!
