* Received product free from ChickAdvisor product review club.
Just tried this product out today, on day 3 of not washing hair, so it was a bit greasy. I used this product to restore my hair to a just washed look. My hair color at it's roots is dark brown. Good news when spraying product, I was not able to detect any brown residue on walls in the bathroom. I followed the instructions, sprayed my roots, massaged into scalp then styled my hair.
The scent is thankfully not as strong as my normal dry hair spray, which is got2be. I found that as a dry shampoo this product works as well if not better then my current product.
After massaging your scalp you may notice some brown on your fingertips, but don't worry the product washes off completely and easily. When I brushed my hair with my roll brush, some dark residue was left on the brush, again easy to remove with just water.
If you like to keep the nozzle clean, simply wet a q-tip and swab it around. Then use the dry side to clean up. For me the product is a bit on the pricey side, but it is a good product and works really well. '
I cannot say how much brown this product really applies to my hair, but I do think that if you had blonde hair, that was dyed brown then this would help keep your roots looking less grown in, as well if you are dying your hair brown and you have gray hair. It did seem to add a nicer brown tone to my hair, but again hard to detect with my eyes.

Received a free single use sample from Garnier and you can see my review for the shampoo in the shampoo review. The conditioner also smells wonderful, but not as good straight from the bottle as the shampoo. The conditioner was extra slippery so it applied well to my hair and I always focus on the lengths and tips. I have baby fine hair it's also super thin. I always leave conditioner on for about 3 to 5 minutes. It took a considerable time to wash out the conditioner, I look at this as a good thing. Once dry, my hair smelled much like the shampoo and that comforting milk and honey smell came back. My hair feels soft and squeaky clean, and its now the second day! -

Received a sample from Garnier. The smell is like milk and honey, comforting. The lather is rich, but thick and paraben free. Which is a good step for Garnier. Since I only had enough shampoo for one application I can't comment on long term use, but I have to say it's an absolutely wonderful smell. Rinses out well. -

I got a small sample of this in a magazine and loved it. I'm not sure whether I fit the anti-aging demographic yet but I'm 33. I was not terribly fond of the smell, but I loved how the product made me feel, in fact I kept the sample around to continue the use of the product. I will be buying this product. -

It is a very refreshing awesome tasting product. When you first open the can the smell is heavenly, the liquid itself appears mostly clear. It tastes very blackberry and less so on the gingery side. I was hoping for a more blended flavour. But for others this might be exactly what they are looking for. If you are craving a really nice blackberry flavoured drink, consider back when Canadian Clearly was around and actually making products, this is what it reminds me of. The calories are 130 for 355ml can and as long as you are not having too many it's not a bad investment of calories. It smells awesome and tastes awesome, but I was expecting it to be more gingery and it basically tastes like blackberry pop which is fine in itself. Don't get me wrong you can tell there is ginger in there, just I expected it to be a little more strong. There is a strong tartness that you will feel in the middle of your tongue when drinking. I purchased mine at RCSS here in Ajax, if you can't find it, phone around. I purchased it for $4.99. -

I really enjoyed this product and did feel it was refreshing, the smell is very pleasant and not overly fragrant. Smell dissipates quickly. I like putting this on at night before I go to sleep and I use a CPAP machine. I love gel moisturizers and do like Garnier quite a bit, but the price is a little over the top. Makes my skin feel supple and touchable.
I received this product free from the Chick Advisor product review club.

If you like Micellar water, this one will not disappoint. If however you are like me, I do not understand what the fuss is all about. Micellar water, is basically extremely small oil droplets suspended in soft water. I thought this would be a really cool type of product to try out, but I'm not sure I really get it. I mean yes, it does remove oils and dirt from your face. I can't speak of makeup as I'm usually a makeup free gal, but many say it doesn't remove eye makeup very well. I suppose my biggest problem with this product is when it dries it smells like algae water. Am I the only one? Anyhow, if you are a Micellar water fan, great price and quality, if not skip it and stick to your regular routine. -
Nutella Hazelnut Spread
I've been using nutella for years. What I like is that if you have no chocolate in your house, you can easily cure your craving with a slathering of this on a simple piece of bread. It tastes good on almost any type of bread, especially sourdough... +
I've been using nutella for years. What I like is that if you have no chocolate in your house, you can easily cure your craving with a slathering of this on a simple piece of bread. It tastes good on almost any type of bread, especially sourdough. Although it's supposed to be chocolate hazelnut, I usually find I mostly notice the chocolate flavour rather then the hazelnut, but you can tell that it does have a vaguely toasted hazelnut flavour to it. I will always purchase nutella, I have purchased off brands and still find Nutella to be the best. -

I really enjoy this face oil. It smells very much like Bio-Oil,which this company also makes. When mixed with water it emulsifies and lifts dirt and debris from the day. I do not wear makeup so I cannot speak to the effectiveness of that aspect of the product. I do enjoy using this product and it does not overly dry the face. Simply apply the oil over your face, then gradually add water. You will notice that it gets kind of creamy, then after doing that to your whole face simply rinse off. Your face will remain smooth and will not feel oily. It did not for me, so I was happy. I enjoy oils and this one does not disappoint. -

I really enjoyed trying Lipidol Overnight Face Oil. I find oils cleans better without stripping your face of oils overall. The smell of the product absolutely awesome. I don't really wear makeup so I cannot comment as to it's ability to remove makeup but it does effectively remove daily debris. I will definitely purchase again. -
