I received the Febreze Noticeables from the Product Review Club and thought it did a great job of reducing odour and it was very easy to use.
I found the scent pleasant but a little too strong when I first started using it but I haven't had plug in air fresheners in a while.
I had the Morning Walk and Cleansing Rain first plugged in the kitchen but found that it wasn't complimentary to cooking smells. I moved it to the living room and thought it worked much better there - it smells like fresh laundry.
I liked that you had the option of adjusting the level of scent and that when plugged in, it still allowed for the other outlet to be used but I do prefer air fresheners that you don't plug in. I'm sure it uses very little electricity but still, I'd rather it be a standalone unit.
I would recommend this product to others as its effective and smells nice.

Febreze NOTICEables Dual Scented Pluggable Air Freshener Lavender Comfort & Gentle Vanilla

I received the Febreze Noticeables from the Product Review Club and thought it did a great job of reducing odour and it was very easy to use.
I found the scent pleasant but a little too strong when I first started using it but I haven't had plug in air fresheners in a while. I had the lavender and vanilla scent noticeables plugged in upstairs in the hallway. I actually moved it to the bedroom and bathroom for an afternoon but the scent was too strong to leave in an enclosed space - better in the hallway.

I received a bottle of the Neutrogena Ultra Sheer Water-Light Daily Face Suncreen about 2 weeks ago and started wearing it on a daily basis.
It stated that it was great under make-up and I thought this was true but I found the days I went without foundation, it did cast a white mask (but I do have say that it would happen with any other sunscreen) and probably more appropriate for a casual outing versus going to work. I generally use a oil-free Neutrogena facial moisturizer (spf 15) and found this sunscreen was a good substitute.
I found the formula very light and easy to put on. While the size is great to travel with, I found it a little small (and pricey) if used on a daily basis.
I would recommend this sunscreen but not for days where you're wearing light make-up (no foundation). It's a great product but definitely on the more expensive side.

I love the fact that these are super thin and effective. No problems with adhesive and fit well in your panties, whether you're wearing regular underwear or a thong. It's great that its flexible and you only need to buy one product.
The one thing that I wished it came with was a little travel pouch. I liked that they weren't individually wrapped in plastic (better for the environment) but maybe one reusuable pouch would be great as its not convenient to take the entire box with you on the go.
I'll definitely keep using these and recommend them to others.

I've always used Always so am very familiar with their product line and am a fan of the wings. The first thing I noticed about the product when I opened the individual package was how thin they were compared to even their thinnest pads! Great for added comfort.
The second thing I noticed when I put it on was how big the actual pad was. It covered my entire bottom (I would say I am average-size). I think this is great for night coverage to avoid leaks but a little excessive during the day.
I know the whole idea is that you can use these all the time but I don't think I would need all that coverage during the day.
I will definitely use these again but likely save them for night use.

I got this product through the review club and really enjoyed the mascara.
To give you some background on my lashes, they are very sparse and short so I need all the help I can get! I generally find "cheaper" mascaras to flake and not last through the day, not to mention not excentuate my lashes. My usual mascara is $25 plus so a less expensive mascara would be a great alternative.
I really liked the vibrating feature so I didn't have to wiggle the wand manually. This made application quicker. I could get 2 coats on back to back and without a mess. My lashes looked longer and thicker. No flaking evey after being out all day. I guess one feature I would have loved for this mascara would be for it to also curl my lashes but I guess it can't do everything so using a curler beforehand opens my eyes up nicely.
I will continue to use this mascara and definitely will consider purchasing it in the future.

I've been seeing Athena for the past 10 years plus! She is a great colourist and can get the colour that you're looking for. I used to get highlights and now get an all over colour. Regardless of what I ask, the end result is amazing. I highly recommend Athena if you're looking for a salon in west end Toronto. -

The loose powder foundation was the one product I was looking forward to and overall, it didn't disappoint.
I got the product in "Classic Ivory" and it went well with my skin tone. The consistency of the product was light but provided good coverage that lasted all day.
One thing that I didn't like that could be due to the season (spring and still very dry air) was that the product was a little too drying on my t-zone which generally is oily (combinatio skin). So extra moisturizer was required. Otherwise it looked flaky around my nose and between my eyebrows. As warmer weather is approaching, I don't t think I'll be having as much of a problem with it.
I thought the brush was a little small and not very soft but given its included with the product, its okay. A larger size, softer kobuki brush would work better.
I recommend this product and will be using it this summer.

While I don't recommend this concealer for under eye (too heavy), I thought it worked great to cover pimples - good coverage there!
I wore this one day under my eyes to cover dark circles and it looked like a mask, not very natural. Mid-day, it started to look greasy and didn't work well with my mascara (I ended up with racoon eyes). However, it covered the blemishes wonderfully.
So while I do recommend it for blemish coverage, I wouldn't for dark circles under the eye.

I'm with McKchick - I wasn't too impressed with this product. After putting on concealer, foundation, and blush, this finshing veil felt very heavy. I generally wear all the above on a daily basis but I wouldn't add this product to my regime. I went with "light" and the colouring was too light compared to all the similar shade makeup in the line. I also didn't like the sponge applicator - too much product dispensed so hard to control how much you want to use.
This on its own is not bad. Handy for a mid-day touch up but I really don't need something else to carry around on a daily basis. So in my books, not something I'll use regularly and non essential.
