This is a fantastic product that I've been using for years. When on sale, it costs about $8 and the bottle lasts for several months with almost daily use. I have long wavy hair and scrunching a dollar-size amount of product through the ends helps define my waves and keep them feeling soft all day. The scent is minimal. It doesn't add volume so sometimes I'll use mouse closer to my roots. -
TRESemmé Boost Compressed Micro Mist Hair Spray Hold Level 3

The mist was fantastic - fine particles covering a large area made it easy to lightly coat all my hair. The shape of the can was easy to hold and I like that there was less gas than in similar products. The scent was pleasant - the usual hair-spray smell - and not overwhelming.
Unfortunately the product did nearly nothing for my naturally wavy hair. Though I liked that my hair still felt soft and manageable after applying the product, I was not able to create any volume with it. The product may have helped hold the shape of my waves throughout the day, but that isn't usually an issue for me. I would expect this result from a level 1-hold hairspray, but definitely not level 3. This product may be most useful when my hair has been dried straight and I want to reduce frizz, but I was unable to test this given the cold winter weather.

This cream has a nice milky texture and took a couple minutes to absorb. The smell is lovely and not overpowering, consistent with other Nivea products. My skin felt moisturized, but I did not notice any difference in firmness or a reduction in the appearance of imperfections. However, it may be too soon to see results. The packaging looks great and the pump seems like much better quality than similar products.
At $9.99 a bottle, I would stick with more affordable creams/oils since I am not yet convinced that this product would help reduce the signs of aging long-term.

This cream has a nice milky texture and certainly leaves my hands feeling moisturized, though it took a little longer than expected to absorb - my hands felt a little greasy for a few minutes. The smell is lovely and not overpowering, consistent with other Nivea products. I think that with long-term use, this cream could help prevent signs of aging on my hands. -

I love the lightweight moisture that this oil provides but didn't notice firming effects or reduced appearance of imperfections - at least not yet. The product smells great (like most Nivea products) and absorbs quickly without losing the moisturized feeling. The packaging is good quality but dispensing the product can get a bit messy since it's tricky to control the amount that comes out. I needed quite a bit of oil to cover my body which makes the $14.99 price a little too expensive. -

I enjoyed this protein bar, particularly because it wasn't as chalky-tasting as similar protein-enhanced products. However, it didn't have the lemony poppyseed flavour I was hoping for - probably because of the reduced sugar. Maybe the flavour is best suited for cake. Either way, it was a nutritional snack that I felt good about eating. The texture was nice and soft, not as thick and pasty as similar products. The packaging is great too. -

I'd consider this an expensive product at about $60 for 1.7 fl oz, but it's one of the few tinted moisturized I've used that keeps my skin hydrated throughout the day while still delivering lightweight coverage. SPF 20 is an added bonus. I use the "nude" colour on my pale skin and even though the product appears a bit orange, it still blends in nicely. This is a great option for someone who doesn't like to use foundation - just depends if you're willing to pay the price. I've found that Maybelline Dream Fresh 8-in-1 Beauty Balm is a good, cheaper alternative. -

I got this product as a sample and am really surprised by how long it's lasting, while still delivering results! I lather it on the top and ends of my hair (not the roots) once a week for about 5-10mins and it leaves my hair feeling softer without any noticeable residue. I recently discovered that you can buy the sample size in stores - it comes in a pouch about the size of your hand and costs around $3-4. If you're interested in trying this product as well as a few other March Anthony treatments, I would definitely recommend giving this smaller product size a try. -

This is a fabulous product for those like me with long (somewhat thin) wavy hair. It enhances waves so that they hold their shape throughout the day while still looking soft and not at all crunchy/stiff like other gel-type products. I usually use a dollar-size amount on damp hair. The only critique I have is that when I recently repurchased the product, I noticed that the packaging has gone from a 245ml bottle to a 177ml bottle hidden in a box (see photo), while the price has remained about the same. -
