With wipes, I kind of feel like they are all the same. I do not think there was anything special about these ones. I tried them through the Product Review club, which is great because I wouldn't pick these up on my own. I only usually buy wipes for travelling, and usually just whatever ones are on sale.
I didn't think it removed make up any better then any other wipe I have purchased in the past, nor did I feel like it was any less affective then any other brand I have tried.
The scent was nice, but again, I have never picked up a wipes that I thought smelt bad!
Not blown away but not turned off either. I would reccommend if you were travelling and needed a go between cleanser to help stay fresh.

I tried this out through the Product Review club--and I am so glad I did! I have not really changed my antiperspirant brand for several years, I found something that worked and never looked back. Moisture is a big part of an under arm deoderant for me and I feel like this fits the bill. The stick goes on smooth and clear and not messy.
There is a light scent but its kind of refreshing not have to have something with a strong senthetic smell.
It appears to be working! Its been about a week and I have not soaked through the pits of my shirts! I will definitly pick this up when I am out of this tester! Really happy with it!

This has always been a favorite. You get a lot of product for what you pay, and it always works great! I love how Nivea hasn't made any changes to this formula or packaging. My husband likes it too! Anytime I have really bad chapped lips I feel like this works right away, its so creamy without being thick or globby. Always a go to. -

I tried this product through the product review club. I used all three products as instructed, but actually liked this toner the most. I feel like you get a lot for 19.95 and it will last me quite a while.
After using the face wash, I would apply with a cotton pad and instantly feel refreshed. It did not dry out my skin, but I liked that I felt like it was purifying my skin. I could see this actually reduce redness and pimples right away. I do think I would use this with my normal facial cleanser and could still keep it part of my routine.

I tried this product throught the product review club. I have used vichy products before but not the whole system of face wash, toner, and this treatment cream. I definitely reccommend using all three together.
The cream I believe is quite affective at attacking pimples. You massage a small amount over your skin until its absorbed. I did feel like it reduced the size of imperfections, and I felt like it was killing bacteria. I did not feel like it prevented all signs of acne however as it claims as it keeps returning.
The scent is clean and the cream didn't stain my towels or pillows. I didn't find this over drying.
I don't think I will purhase this when it runs out, but I do think this would be suitable for someone with ocassional acne.

I tried this product through the chick advisor review club, and I am happy with the product. I don't think 19.95 is too much to pay-but I do think this product is only as good as the system, which if you buy each product it adds up to about 70 bucks. I think thats fair, especially if you are on a drug store budget but thats definitely high for some.
I like the smell of the gel, and it lathers nicely with just a small amount in your hands. I will be using this for several more weeks before it runs out, so again, price seems fair to me.
Effectivenss wise... I wasn't super impressed. I have combination skin and I do break out occasionally but I didn't feel like this system cleared it up any faster than any other routine I have used. The gel dried out my skin initially until I swiped the toner over my skin-which makes me think the whole system is required. The product claims to not dry out skin, but I definitely felt tightness.
I guess I have mixed feelings. I felt like it did reduce the look of any pimples I had, I just didn't feel like after 5 weeks of use that I saw dramatic results, which I thought I would with the whole system together. This product claims to prevent new imperfections, but just today I got a new flair up of red bumps...
I am giving this 4 out of 5 for effectiveness because I felt like, paired with the rest of the system, that it did well for a drug store product and kept me clear for the most part. Maybe I just have some problem pimples that need more attention that Vichy just can't help with.

I really like this foundation over others and I don't use foundation that often.
I like this one because it went on creamy and not flaky. I often find foundations get flaky while I am applying it, or almost smudgy. I am referring to other drug store brands.
I don't really get the smart shade thing, but it did look good on me and didn't look like the wrong color.
I would buy this again, however, I am on a BB cream faze and don't think I will be switching any time soon.

I don't wear pads, but these ones could change my mind!
Packaging aside:
They smelled GREAT firstly. I loved how thin they were and the new absorption pad worked so well, I didn't think about my period once. Isn't that the point?
There was no bunching, they stayed put without curling.
The only thing stoping me from purchasing these is that I am happy with my routine now of tampons and for extra protection I use a liner. I haven't touched pads in over 10 years, and so I see no reason to change!
I recommend 100% for those that wish not to use tampons, you will be worry free!

UGH why do these companies insist on trying to make tampons more exciting then what they really are?
What would make me happy is if feminine hygiene products were not taxed.
I do not care about the extra sticky closure on the packaging that I THROW OUT, I do not care what color they applicator is or if it has a special grip, and I am not about to pay more for that either.
It worked just as well as what I normally get so I marked it high for that part. But the technology behind it is the same, it protected against leakage and I didn't feel it.
I wouldn't bother with these. I can see perhaps my teenage sister appreciating these as these are in a cool box and pretty packaging. That doesn't do it for me though.

Thank you Chick Advisor for chance to review these liners :)
My favorite part about these is the fact that they are flexible and made to be used in just about any size/shape panti any of us ladies could own. The whole back side is adhesive so you are guaranteed against bunching or that other issue where it bunches, turns, and gets stuck to YOU!
That, and they are SUPER thin. I don't know where I have been recently, but when did liners get wafer thin?? I am not even aware that I am wearing one.
Down side, I don't find they are very odor absorbing. TMI? I don't have a problem in that area usually, but I felt like I had to change it frequently.
When you are just looking for some extra protection, or even just peace of mind, look no further then these INCREDIBLY thin liners.
