I loved this shampoo. I got it as part of a review package right when I was running out of my normal shampoo, so the timing was perfect. It lathers well and leaves my hair feeling super soft and light. I've also found fewer split ends/frizz. I didn't notice much of a scent as I showered, so that is something to consider if you are either sensitive to odours, or you prefer perfumes in your shampoo. -

I'm usually hesitant with mousse, because no matter how carefully I work it into my hair, I seem to be left with a few clumps of "crunchy" hair. But I found this time, my hair had volume and body, yet still felt soft. It left me with well-shaped waves, and no frizz, which is always a bonus. -

I got this product free as part of a review package, but overall I think the lotion is a quality product. I can't say at this point that I notice a difference in the firmness of my skin, but it certainly left my skin feeling soft and smooth. It's a fairly thick lotion, so it lasts quite a while. -

I got this product free as part of a review package, but i think I will likely buy it again in the future. The product says firmer feeling skin in two weeks, and while I can't say whether I think my skin feels firmer, it definitely feels softer. I like the scent of the oil, and i love the fact that it isn't greasy. My skin absorbs it very quickly, and it doesn't leave a film. -

I received this as a free trial, but I will definitely be buying it in the future. I have the orange blossom scent, which is pleasant, yet subtle. The creme lathers very well, and left my skin very soft, which is a big thing because I have horribly dry skin. It's just as good as any other body wash/creme I've tried, but I think it has a nicer smell than most other products. -
Vichy Normaderm Purifying Pore-Tightening Lotion
I have noticed an improvement in my pores since I started using this toner (which came as part of a sample kit.) it feels good on my skin, and doesn't leave it feeling right like some other toners that I've used.

Vichy Normaderm Anti-Acne Purifying Gel Cleanser
Since using this cleanser (which I received as part of a sample kit) I have noticed a real difference in my skin. My pores are definitly less noticeable. My skin doesn't feel dry after using it either.

I tried this product when I got a box as part of a review package. My job requires me to work a variety of different shifts at different times of day -- including overnight -- so I'm familiar with most energy boosting products.
When it comes to providing long lasting energy, these definitely work. I found when I mixed one with water when I arrived at work, I managed to make it almost the entire overnight shift without feeling tired. I also didn't get jittery or feel nauseated like I do with some other energy drinks or supplements. So they are great in that sense.
However, they really taste awful. The package I received claimed it was orange-flavoured, and I shudder to think of the kind of oranges they've been eating if they think this is what an orange tastes like. They also left my water bottle with that weird herbal supplement aftertaste long after I had rinsed the bottle out. It's also best not to actually look at the liquid when you drink it, because it looks revolting. I also found that it is a diuretic, so if you use it, make sure you can get to a bathroom easily and often.
However, at least the taste issue is only a brief inconvenience -- especially if you use a paper cup or wash the glass out with soap soon afterwards. I will probably keep these on hand, because the effectiveness is impressive.

I got a box of these as a review package, and was pleasantly surprised. I've tried meal replacement bars before, and they usually taste a little funny and still leave me hungry. But these really taste like chocolate, and actually filled me up. With tax they average to a little over $2 a bar, so they aren't super cheap, but if you consider them a meal, it works out to be a good deal. I think they'd be ideal to keep in your desk for busy days when you don't have time to eat. -
McCain Breakfast Potato Pancakes
As far as frozen potato products do, these are pretty good. They are super easy, which is always handy when you haven't had coffee yet. They can also satisfy hashbrown cravings when you don't want to head to McDonald's.
