I received these as part of a review for Chick Advisor's Product Review Club.
Garnier Fructis Sleek & Shine shampoo and conditioner have been in my shower for years. I love them and find them very efficient at what they do, my hair is always nice after using them. Trying out the Colour Shield versions was a great upgrade for me to a product meant for my coloured hair.
The shampoo and conditioners are just as great as the sleek and shine ones I was using, same great smell, same great cleaning and conditioning effects, but now my hair takes longer to fade (a big deal when you are an artificial red head). The best part is the conditioner, I love how my hair feels after using it, but also how it protects my hair colour.
I would buy these again in a second, cheap but effective and they leave your hair colour in place and your hair softer, what else does a gal need.

I received this product from Chick Advisor's Product Review Club.
I've used it before but never in this shade (Sangria). I really love how it is gentle on your hair but effective at developing a deep rich colour. The conditioner leaves your hair soft, the dye leaves your hair healthy, there really is nothing I can say bad about this product.
Sangria came out deep and red, overall it was a great colour for me and I would definitely buy it again. Like all reds it fades easily but that is the price you pay for a red colour.
Overall I would buy this again and use it again. I love the shade, the product and the results.

I really liked this cream, it was light, smooth and moisturizing all at the same time. I liked that it didn't leave my skin feeling heavy or greasy but more light and nutritional.
I like that there is an SPF in it but am saddened it is only 15; 25 or 30 would be better, so I still have to use my facial sun screen in addition to this.
I really liked this and would buy it again in second.

Breyers Smooth & Dreamy Frozen Dessert

I got this in Mocha Fudge Brownie. I love how smooth it is. I love that it doesn't melt super fast like other low fat ice creams and doesn't freeze rock hard like many ice creams.
I found it a little sweet but I liked it that ways. Ribbons for mocha and chunks of fudge tasted great. I'm glad I could find a flavour like this that is less fat than normal

Maybelline New York Eye Studio Eyeshadow Quad

I got two palettes from Chickadvisor to try out. I got 20 - Sapphire Siren and 100- Sunset Seduction. I feel very differently about these two palettes. How two items from the same collection can be so different I do not know.
100 - Sunset Seduction is a great neutral quad. All the shades in the quad are shimmery and pearly without being over powering. The second more red shade is a dupe for Mac's expensive pink! I like the quad and love the looks I can make with it but I do wish there was at least one matte colour in the quad for balance.
20 - Sapphire Siren is a quad with a blue and teal tones. Every single shade in here is super shimmery! TOO shimmery for me. She frost in it are large to pull off. The only non shimmery/frost one is the black which has large chunks of silver glitter in it. Even the lightest shade, it is white, has too much chunky glitter/shimmer to it. Blue on blue eyes doesn't work ether, I have blue eyes so this just made my eyes bright blue colour wash out. Over all I was disappointed in this palette since it was to glittery and shimmery for day wear or even for going out. Unless you are clubbing I cannot see this working out, I felt like a disco ball wearing this.
Over all, they are great priced for the quality, and the quality is there! They are a little soft so a lighter hand is needed when applying, but that is not really a bad things. The colour pay off is great and it lasts all day. I found I needed to pat it on rater than blending it in, I really do love the sunset seduction palette and would consider buying another in the series as long as it isn't as shimmery and chunky in shimmer as the sapphire siren.

I found this to be a nice deodorant that nicely fought off odor and moisture. I usually pass on scents in my deodorant, but I did not mind the scent at all, it did not over power or smell nasty.
I have always liked dove anti-perspirants, this one is no exception. The key feature about it is that it doesn't leave a residue.
I would buy it again and recommend it to anyone who asked what I use.

I got two free bottle from the Product Review Club. I have been using it for the last 10 day and find it a little runny for my taste. It does an average job of moisturizing the skin, I feel like it depite being runny, absorbs easily but leaves a film and leaves me craving more moisturizers. It seems like your average drug store body lotion but more absorbant. I guess I just like richer products. I think I would liked this alot more in the summer time when I need less of a moisturizer. -

This product is the same as Smashboxes O-glow lip gloss but $6 instead of $22!
It is supposed to change colour on your lips and become a custom colour depending on your chemistry.
I found it did not change my lip colour too much...but the same goes for the smashbox version. I bought this and saw very little change, then tried the smashbox, and it did the same. I guess it is just my chemistry. It is a really good quality gloss, and cost so much less then the smashbox version.

I received this product as par of ChickAdvisor Product Review Club. I was very excited to try it out, I am 29 and finding that I need to start to deal with my skin not being the same as when I was 20. In the pas two weeks I have used this twice a day and notice it was amazing for moisture. I am not quite sure yet if it is helping with the fine lines that are beginning, I think I will need more time to find out about that. As for the claim it helps with under eye circles, I have extremely dark under eye circles,, and this product did not help, no product has helped though.
For the most part I liked this cream a lot but do not think it does anything for circles and I think it has potential for early stage wrinkle prevention but it is great for moisturizing the eyes.

One of the best primers ever! Smoothes everything out on your face and makes your makeup look better and last longer.
My only beef is...the container. It is so hard to get the last bits out of it. But now you can get it in a new bottle that leaves you with less waist (if you can find the new bottle, it is always sold out in stores).
There are cheaper primers out there, but they often feel greaser and are less effective.
I think everyone should use a primer, every day!
