I requested the 15 day trial because I have very sensitive skin and I have only found one product in the past 50 years that doesn't irritate it! I have sensitive combination skin, with rosacea and an occasional tendency to mild breakouts. And at 50, I also have the typical fine lines and lack of resilience that my skin used to have. I decided to set aside my ENTIRE routine (even the proven cleanser that I love) to try this family of products for a couple of weeks. It actually removed my makeup quite well, left my skin feeling clean and soft, and after two weeks I feel like it was even firmer and more refreshed looking. One of the products - the daily moisturizer - made my skin turn quite red after application though, a rosacea flare-up that I always try to avoid.
If the purchase price is reasonable, I might consider the serum and peel, and I might even replace my beloved cleanser with Riversol's Cleanser. I won't be buying the Daily Moisturizer, though.

Biotherm Total Renew Balm-to-Oil

This product has an incredibly long name - Biotherm Total Renew Balm BIOSOURCE Balm-to-Oil Deep Cleanser and Make-Up Remover. That's my only complaint. I call it "gold in an orange jar". This balm melts into a silky oil when warmed in your hands, and then transforms again into a milky cleanser. I use it every morning with my Foreo cleanser, and I'm told it works wonders with Clarisonics as well. When I run a cotton pad with toner over my skin afterwards, there is zero makeup or dirt residue. My skin is absolutely clean, and in the gentlest fashion. My skin is 50 years old, sensitive to the dry air, and prone to rosacea, yet this balm-to-oil doesn't irritate, agitate, or dry my skin at all. In fact, it feels fresh and moisturized afterwards. -

I received this little sample size in my stocking, and I must admit that I was disappointed not to get a full size! The smell is nice - it has a presence but is not too overpowering. Because of the small size, I saved it for my hands. What I loved is that it soaked in beautifully, and left my hands feeling instantly moisturized and smooth, but also remarkably dry (that is, no icky residue or greasy feel). Afterwards, my hands feel as though they are encased in silk gloves. I love this product...if I can't find it locally, then I will definitely purchase it online. I definitely need it in a pump bottle on my desk! -

This curry comb works wonders for coaxing massive amounts of hair off my super-shedder Lucy (she's a Rhodesian Ridgeback). She loves the Kong Zoom Groom, and even after half an hour of attacking the spring shed, she was still comfortable and enjoying the massage. My only complaints are the size (a larger surface area would benefit larger doggos), and the lack of a hand strap or something similar. Gripping the brush tires out the hand after a period of vigorous brushing. -
Batiste Dry Shampoo XXL Volume Big & Bouncy

I love trying new products, but I'm also very loyal to the perfect product. Bastiste Dry Shampoos are a staple in my vanity. I love them. So of course when I first saw XXL, I had to see what it could do for my fine-but-thick hair. What a shocking disappointment! I couldn't believe it was Batiste! I don't like to wash my hair every day, which is one reason I use dry shampoo. But Batiste XXL made my hair look and feel dirtier than it did before I applied it, and it was nearly impossible to run a brush through it, let alone style it. At the end of the day, by hand got stuck in my hair when I tried to run my fingers through it! It also didn't follow through on the promised volume boost. My hair remained as flat as ever, and even the curls fell out (texturizing to keep curls in place is the other reason I use Batiste). I never thought I'd see a full can of Batiste in the trash...but I quickly replaced it with another Batiste Dry Shampoo. -

I honestly gag at the smell of this stuff, but I think I may be the only one! I have bought many jars for my daughters though, and they always loved it. It keeps very well and is a nice consistency. My review is mixed - I just can't get past the musty, old chocolate smell and taste, but I also can't deny that my kids love it and it seems to handle well when they are cooking with it or just eating it. -
Cadbury Cream Eggs

Since I was young, there have always been certain treats the defined a holiday - it's not Christmas without a mandarin orange in my stocking, it's not my birthday without a Caesar, and it's definitely not Easter without a Cadbury Easter Creme Egg! The chocolate is so thick and delicious - excellent quality chocolate. And the creme...what do you say about the delicious, thick, sticky, perfectly sweet creme? It's heavenly. No one has been able to duplicate it. I love that first bite, and seeing the "yolk", and I'm so disapponted when I pop the last bit in my mouth. The only downside is that it's a sticky treat. But is that really a downside? I think it's actually a good reason to enjoy it just a little more when you're done, by licking your fingers! -
Blistex Medicated Lip Ointment

I have pretty dry lips, and live in a pretty dry area to boot, so of course I gave this a shot. It had some decent reviews. But for me, it was not at all worth the money. I actually found it didn't help my dry lips - maybe because it was too thin and didn't provide any kind of barrier, maybe because it is medicated and my lips grew reliant on it. But my main issue was the stench and the taste. It reminded me of the hospital. I admit that like a nice, sticky, pretty smelling lip gloss - medicated Blistex is a bit of a shock when you're used to candy lips. -

Until our dishwasher broke down, I really had no idea how important dishwashing soap could be in my life! I had two brands on hand when the crisis hit - Dawn Ultra Dish Washng Liquid and another popular brand. i learned quickly that Dawn was the one to grab for the greasy dishes and the dishes that sat overnight. It leaves my dishes squeaky clean (no film or residue) and my wine glasses clear and spotless. The scent is OK...definitely better than oranges (why did I buy a dishwashing liquid that smelled like oranges?) I'm going to replace the dishwasher, but I will probably always buy Dawn Ultra going forward. -

I'm a bit of a wino, to be honest. I love a good wine, but I also drink at glass or two every day so I have tried many wines in the lower price ranges in an effort to find something affordable as well as palatable. Jackson Triggs Chardonnay is my favourite in that "every day" price range - as a matter of fact, I have a box of it in my fridge now! Yes, even the boxed wine is tasty and remains drinkable for quite a while, lol. For dinner parties and special guests, this wine is not my wine of choice, however it is still always stocked at my house for myself and unexpected visitors. -
