Brookside Chocolate Tablet Bar in Tart Cherry Crisp with Pomegranate Flavour
Loved the texture of this, with the rice krispie type bits and the chewy parts. Flavour was nicely balanced, and it was a satisfying treat even after a couple of squares.

Canada Dry Club Soda - Lemon-Lime

I wore this during a triathlon, and even with the swim component stripping some off, it held up pretty well! It definitely didn't irritate my skin, but I did find it very hard to blend in, which isn't ideal for more delicate facial skin. That's the only thing that would stop me from buying again in the future: I prefer something that blends more easily. -

I received this from the product review club, and I like it a lot. I've never used a night cream regularly before, so this was a good introduction.
I like it better without the Idealia serum, since I find it absorbs quickly without it, and with the serum I felt like it sat on my face for too long. I will keep using it as a night cream: it's a nice bit of nourishment without being too heavy. I do think my skin seemed a bit smoother and brighter.
The only thing I didn't like was the strong scent, which was too much for my liking.

I got this product from the product review club, which was very exciting! I found it to be a bit heavy overall: I felt like it still coated my face in the morning. Also the scent was so strong as to be off putting. My skin has looked good in the two weeks of using it, but I don't know that it's dramatic enough to warrant the price tag. -

Leave in conditioners are especially tricky for people with fine, light-coloured hair (it looks greasy so easily!), but this conditioner was a good fit for me. It's great if you need a little extra conditioning for heat styling or untangling, and never makes your hair feel greasy or heavy. I did find the fragrance a bit strong. Even if you didn't use it daily, a nice product to have on hand.

I have fine hair, so I always like a nice light conditioner, and this one does the job. It smells nice, rinses clean, and gives my hair a good level of moisture without wearing it down. I don't actually feel it's quite moisturizing enough if used with the shampoo, which I found rather harsh, but used with another product it's a great, light conditioner.

The shampoo and I started off on the wrong foot, since something defective or broken in the cap meant it leaked everywhere, all over the other products in the package (and some of the Canada Post mailroom!) Hopefully this wasn't a problem for many people.
The shampoo has a nice scent and lathers well, but I felt for a "Light" shampoo it was too harsh for my hair, it actually felt stripped down after I'd used it. If you have really oily hair, it could be a good thing, but it wasn't a feeling I liked.
Once dry, my hair did feel nice and light, and blow dried well.

I received this product as part of the product review club. Nice texture and smell and lather. After a few days in a row, I noticed my hair did seem stronger and shinier, though ti felt a bit heavy for my fine hair. I'd use it for regular treatments rather than as a regular product. -
