I received two Febreze NOTICEable units as part of ChickAdvisor's Product Review Club. I tried both units at the same time in two different bedrooms. Febreze NOTICEables are very easy to use. You just attach the two oil containers to the unit, and then plug into an outlet. There are two settings, low and high, that you can use to control the intensity of the scents, and you can switch between low and high on the back of the unit. I used the Morning Walk and Cleansing Rain scents in the low setting. It didn't take long for the scents to permeate through the entire room. The scents smell fresh, but I prefer the Lavender and Vanilla scents to these scents. I like that there is a light on each side of the unit indicating which scent is currently being used. However, you have to unplug the unit to turn it off, and this is pretty inconvenient.
The idea behind Febreze NOTICEables is quite ingenious. When the human nose is exposed to a smell, it recognizes it. Eventually, when that scent is not taken away, the sensory mechanisms in the nose become accustomed to it and the brain doesn't the register the scent any longer. However, when a new scent is replaced with the previous one, the nose senses it, and the brain recognizes it. So, when the NOTICEable alternates the two scents, we are always aware of a pleasant scent in the environment. The developers of this product really took our physiology into account when designing this product.
In addition to using Febreze NOTICEables, I use air freshener sprays and candles to make my house smell good. Febreze NOTICEables last longer than either of the other products. I've been using the NOTICEables since they arrived about two weeks ago and the oil levels haven't lowered much. Moreover, you have to remember to use sprays and candles. With the NOTICEable, you can just plug it in and forget about it. Your house will always smell good. Also, you can adjust the intensity of the NOTICEable easily, unlike the other products.
The price of a Febreze NOTICEable unit is around $12 currently, and a refill is $6.50. So if you buy a unit, you can just buy refills afterwards. I definitely think the price is right, especially since a refill will last around a month. I will be buying refills for the two units I have now after the oils run out. There are a variety of scents to pick from. And, I will definitely recommend this product to others. It is well worth it.

I would like to begin by thanking ChickAdvisor for letting me review The Falsies mascara. Many people would love this mascara and many would not. If you like the formula of your mascara to be wetter in consistency than normal, then this is your mascara. It applies almost wet and takes a minute to dry allowing you to pack on layers without clumping for your desired effect. I wouldn't pick this up if you prefer a drier consistency. Where this mascara fell short was its promise to appear as if wearing false lashes. Although I haven't tried false lashes myself, my friends and sisters have confirmed my suspicion that The Falsies does not volumize my lashes enough to justify the false lash effect claim. However, it does the job of a regular mascara, and it does it well. As for the shape of the bristle brush which is spoon-like, I felt that it was definitely one of the better factors of the mascara. The shape allows the brush to grab almost all of my lashes and coat them evenly simultaneously. And, you can use the other side to apply extra coats as well and with this side you can target your application to specific areas.
So, in conclusion, I will recommend The Falsies if:
1. You prefer a wetter mascara formula consistency
2. You prefer a bristle brush for application
3. You would like to try out a spoon-like brush which for me has improved application
4. You like the colour purple ;)

I love Carmex! I'm just about finishing my first tub of it and want to the try the tube version next. I recently substituted my lip balm for Carmex and it was a great choice. It refreshes and moisturizes my lips significantly. Dry lips are no match. I find that re-applying it is often necessary and the menthol may be too strong for some. However, it is a winner in my arsenal of products. -

I was excited to get a coupon for this product in the mail from the Product Review Club. I recently got a sample in the Botanical kind with Cypress and Eucalyptus extracts. This lotion works really well and smells really good. The scent is not overpowering or offensive. When applied, the product is absorbed well by my skin and leaves it smooth and silky to touch. The product claims that it will be absorbed through three layers of skin because it is infused with a special complex. I find that it it does absorb very well and leaves my skin moisturized for a good amount of time. The lotion is not greasy and is pretty light-weight. This is a good product and I'm glad I got a coupon for it because as other reviewers have noted, the retail price is quite high. I will recommend this product to other people when it gets cheaper to buy. -

I got samples of L'Oreal's Collagen Filler Lip from the Product Review Club. I don't have any wrinkles around my lips/mouth or severely fine lines on my lips yet so for me this would be a preventative measure. Overall, the product did not exceed my expectations. The Collagen formula that you apply around your lips for anti-feathering just seems like any regular moisturizer, and my lipsticks/glosses don't really feather out of my lip area so I don't know how effective this cream is. However, the formula is very hydrating and since the formula contains collagen, it is an excellent way to prevent future wrinkles in the area around the mouth. I don't know how effective it would be at reducing existing lines/wrinkles. It says the cream also helps define the lip line, but I didn't see an effect as my lip line is pretty defined. The lip plumper serum is a very subtle plumper. I know a lot of people said they didn't notice any results, but I did. When I applied the serum on my lips there was a tingling sensation on my lips and within a minute my lips got slightly fuller. I use this now to prime my lips before putting on lip products. However, with time the tingling sensation has almost disappeared and I don't know what that means. I'm glad I got this product by being in the Review Club, because I would not pay full price for this product. It certainly needs to be cheaper than what it is right now to be a valuable product. If there was an option between 'You Betcha!' or 'Fugheddaboutit' for recommending this product I would've chosen it, but since I did have a slightly more positive experience than a negative one, I'm gonna go with 'You Betcha!'. -

I received two samples of this product as part of our review club: Wild Rose and Nature Fresh. I've been using Nature Fresh for a couple of weeks now. It is a good anti-perspirant: I apply in the morning and the product keeps me dry and odourless all day. Its scent in not offensive since it's pretty light and probably can be universally appealing. The Wild Rose scent is also not too strong. Additionally, Dove infuses their anti-perspirants with moisturizers and this product is no exception so application is incredibly smooth. I don't notice much residue on my clothes but I can't say that there isn't any at all. The amount is comparable to or a bit less than most other products out there. Coverage is almost invisible when applied moderately. Dove claims that this product contains Pro-Epil which will make underarm hairs less visible over time, and I feel I haven't been using it long enough to comment on that aspect yet. I'm going to keep using this anti-perspirant and hope that it will make a difference in underarm hair appearance. Also, I love that Dove always offers consumers something new and exciting where anti-perspirants are considered. First it was infused moisturizers and now reduction in underarm hair. Pretty cool.
I will update this if I notice a difference in underarm hair appearance.

I have this in Nude Blush and it is the prettiest nude pink lipstick I own. This lipstick is so moisturizing that I was so surprised at first. I'm not used to lipsticks being extremely hydrating. It's almost like a lip balm. Since it was so hydrating I was expecting the pigmentation to be really low but I was pleasantly surprised in that regard as well. Moisture Extreme offers very good and long-lasting pigmentation. I carry this lipstick with me everywhere I go and I'm almost out of my 2nd tube. It's my emergency pick-me-up for my lips. The red tube is really cute as well! -

This anti-perspirant is effective and does its job properly. I don't sweat for at least 7 hours following application. The downside to this product is that it does stain clothes like others have said. There is no anti-perspirant that I know of that doesn't stain. Let me know if there is one! Recently I've been wary of ingredients in anti-perspirants, and was on a hunt for a natural deodarant and bought one. However, the natural deodarant only gets rid of odour and doesn't prevent sweating. So what I do is apply a layer of the natural deodarant (which is clear and glides on smoothly), and then apply a thin layer of Dove anti-perspirant over that. It has been working well for me so far. But I'm on the hunt for a product that prevents odour as well as sweating with harmless ingredients. I rated this a "You Betcha!" because there isn't an option in between "You Betcha!" and "Fugheddabout", and because it is a decent product that I've used for a long time and I wanted to be nice. -

MAC's 'lipglasses' come in a wide variety of shades and formulations. There is a colour to suit every skintone. They are generally pretty thick and sticky but are pigmented and long-lasting. In my experience with other lipglosses, they are usually sheerer, thinner and less lasting compared to MAC's lipglasses. In my opinion, MAC lipglasses are worthy of their price tag. I wish they were cheaper so I could more...lol -
