I received this product for free as part of XY Stuff review club. I have tried Axe body sprays and washes but never a stick anti perspirant. I like that this product actually controls sweat compared to just a deodorant spray that masks the odor.
The stick is similar to many others on the market, however it is supposed to be effective for 48 hours. I am not a heavy sweater and after my man tried this, he didn't feel like it would truly last 2 days. Most people shower daily therefore you would have to reapply anyways.
I really loved the hint of lemon zest that I got from this fragrance and the cool sensation. It is definitately a fresh fragrance and different from your typical cologny musky male scents.
The anti perspirant stick itself glides on very smooth, it does not create any lumps, however it does not show completely clear. Be careful if you are wearing dark shirts, this can leave traces.
If you are a moderate sweater and do not have the worse body odor, this product is very effective. However, I received this sample during cold Canadian winter months and would need to try it again during our humid summers to determine how well it performs.
I recommend this for the fragrance foremost.

I received this product for free as part of XY Stuff review club. I am familiar with Axe's range of body washes and deodorant sprays but had never tried a shampoo until now.
I loved the shape of bottle right away, found it easy to grip and easy to pour - just wish the opening was a tad bigger to dispense more product. In terms of scent, this is definitely a unisex fragrance I find that could be appealing for men and women. It's fresh and "icy" cool.
The shampoo had a good consistency, not too runny or thick and lathered extremely well. It left a slight tingling sensation and made me feel super clean.
I often find that the 2 in 1 reference is gimmicky as I could not really tell a difference from regular shampoo. I am assuming that this formula is meant to be more moisturizing however it behaved just like a regular shampoo.
If you have greasy hair, I would recommend to rinse and repeat with a second wash.
In all a great product that is pleasing to the nose and hair.

I found these oven baked crackers to be dull and lacking in flavor. Even when masking with dips or toppings, I found it was like eating bird food. The heavy seed and crunch texture just wasn't a match for me.
I think the price point was also too high considering the overall taste and quality of the crackers. I would not recommend.

I have found other products from this company to be high quality in terms of ingredients, but the application or final result hasn't always been the best. This shampoo and body wash has a great mild scent. I like that it comes in a push bottle that produces foam however be careful if you have kids bathing themselves as young ones may love to use more foam than necessary. The foam is a great way to lather yourself but as a shampoo I prefer an actual gel consistency. I found that I needed to use a lot more product than I normally would and for the price, this becomes quite expensive.
It left skin moderately moisturized and wasn't special enough to warrant the price.

I really love the packaging and feel of this lotion. The bottle is sturdy and stands out from the competition. I like that it is fragrance free and contains many natural ingredients ideally suited for sensitive skin.
However, despite being "fragrance free" this product still contains a light smell, similiar to grapeseed oil or cocoa butter. It's hard to describe. I found it a little off putting a first but it dissipates throughout the day. Just a word of caution that if you are senstive to odors, this product does contain its own natural aroma - they just did not add anything extra to change or mask this aroma.
The lotion feels slightly sticky or gummy when you first apply but it absorbs surprisingly well and does not leave any greasy feeling. I have been using this all over my body and I find it ideal for every day use. If you have extremely dry skin, or rough patches, you might need to apply two coats or choose a thicker moisturizer. It's a verstaile moisturizer that can be used by any age group.

Upon first glance, all the Babyganics products look beautiful. The packaging is clean and fresh and they stand out from the competition. I was happy to learn that these baby wipes are fragrance free and are made of gentle ingredients, including many natural essential oils.
I am however dissapointed by the sticker top packaging. I wish these wipes came with an actual lid instead of a resealable sticker. It becomes a little more difficult to reach the wipes if you are in a hurry. I also haven't had the pack long enough to find out but I'm afraid the sticker will wear off. This is the type of wipe that would be ideal to transfer into another container if you have one.
The quality of the wipe itself is just average.I have come across many wipes that are far more luxurious, thicker and soft. These are on the thin side and it seems like you would need several for big messes. They are practically see through. Since they contain some natural oils, they feel a lot more slippery and dont give you that "clean" feeling. I actually think they would be great as make up wipes.
I personally wouldn't purchase these myself because they are too thin and oily for my liking. If you or your baby have extremely dry sensitive skin, it might do the trick.

I received the Johnson's Cottontouch Newborn Wash & Shampoo for free as part of Chickadvisor's review club.
I love Johnson's products and use them for myself. I am familiar with their lines of products and having also tried the matching Cottontouch lotion, I found this to be very complimentary.
The new packaging is lovely, it looks great in the bathroom and is easy to use with the pump dispenser. This is perfect to use as an all over body wash and shampoo because it is mild and doesn't sting eyes. I found this to be ideal for babies but for adults who enjoy using it too, it may less of a satisfying wash. Since the product is so gentle, I find that it doesn't quite have that rich lather you would get from other body washes and if you have greasy hair then it also doesn't clean you well the first time. You definitely need to rinse and repeat.
The scent is not too strong and dissipates upon rinsing off. I would recommend this product for any child, or adult with sensitive skin and isn't fussy about a strong lather.

I received the Johnson's Cottontouch Newborn Face and Body Lotion for free as part of Chickadvisor's review club.
I love Johnson's products and use them for myself. They are great for sensitive skin or when you don't want an overpowering fragrance.
At first glance, this new packaging really stands out. The shape, color and feel of the bottle is beautiful. The makeover was a good move as the line of products has a more modern appeal to compete with some of the newer lines (ie: Dove Baby).
The only drawback is that they shrunk the packaging - the content used to be around 440 ml of product and it is now 400. I can't tell for sure if this change is also reflected in the price but it could mean you get a few less uses out of this bottle.
The only other slight drawback is that the this a regular flip lid, the bottle I received did not have a pump, but the same sized body wash did. I think the pump dispenser would be ideal however this makes for easier traveling if you need to carry the bottle around.
As for the product itself, the lotion is of great quality. It goes on very smoothly and it is extremely light - true to its name of "cotton touch". It has a mild baby fragrance that dissipates maybe an hour or so after application, and does keep you moisturized for the most of the day. If you are an adult using this lotion, I would recommend it for summer months for when you need a simple and light moisturizer. This will not be ideal for dry harsh Canadian winters as the lotion is just too thin and runny to give you that coating of protection cracked skin could need.
It dries quickly and is easy to apply. It's good for babies, kids, adults, just about anyone who enjoys the fresh comforting baby scent and quality product for sensitive skin.

I have tried a similar product in the past and find micellar waters in general to be quite revolutionary in terms of face cleansers. This Nivea water is no exception.
Although I do not wear a lot of make up, I regular wear sunscreen and find it hard to remove. This micellar water penetrates through the cream and just dissolves it. When using a cotton pad and I can actually see the water turn a milky white, signifying that it is cleaning off the sunscreen residue. It doesn't feel greasy, and it has no distinguishable odor. It doesn't even need to be rinsed, I however do like to wash my face afterwards for an extra refreshing feel.
Best part is, it doesn't sting your eyes and doesn't require a lot of product to get the job done. The water is like a magnet for dirt and residue while being very mild.
Strongly recommend for every day type make up but if you are wearing heavy duty stuff, you may need the regular version of this product, not the one intended for sensitive skin.

I absolutely love the classic Nivea and this new formula is even better. It has the classic scent and branding you know and trust but with a lighter, non greasy texture that is easy apply and great year round. I found this formula true to its description, it is non greasy and absorbs quickly. I was hesitant to try it during the summer (right now we're in August) but it did not leave me feeling sticky or uncomfortable. This is truly the best moisturizer you can use year round.
The version I got comes in a pot that is easy to scoop out of and allows you to use every last bit of product. It's solid and good for traveling, you don't have to worry about having any spill out. However I have seen this same product in a tube form as well which can be easier to apply for some.
As for the result on my skin, this cream left me hydrated all day and did not smell or feel overpowering. I would strongly recommend it if you love classic nivea but want something you can use in the summer too.
