I love the packaging Zoella and her team have chosen for all of her beauty line. The packaging makes these fizzers good enough to eat, but unfortunately I didn't find the results to be too extraordinary. As others have noted, they don't fizz very much and once you open the package and break the seal, the macaron scent is not very strong. A year ago or so I ordered the Zoella Beauty Fizz Bar which is from her original beauty line rather than her "Sweet Inspirations" line which is what Le Fizz is part of. The original fizz bar gave a more powerful fizz and the scent was divine and strong (like the scent of her Soak Opera bubble bath from her original line. I still like the product and would possibly purchase it again, but in my opinion her original fizz bar was better. -

I received a large sample size of this product directly from Dove along with a coupon. While I haven't purchased a full size version yet, I definitely will in the future because this product leaves my skin feeling soft and moisturized, as promised. As others have mentioned, the scent is strong and does linger, but I happen to love the smell. You don't even have to wear perfume when you've used it because you just naturally smell great. I wish I knew what ingredient it was that made it smell so great. As always, I would choose to purchase this when it is on sale and/or when I have a coupon. Generally Dove body washes are priced quite high so I wouldn't pay full price even though it is a great body wash. -

I've been using and repurchasing Arm & Hammer detergents for a while now because the added baking soda and formula leaves my clothes smelling fresh and looking very clean and stain free. I got this one at a bargain price as they are usually on sale and I had a high value coupon. I haven't tried many higher priced detergents but recently bought a bottle of Persil with a coupon as well. I think it would be hard to beat Arm & Hammer because I got 50 loads of laundry for $2.50 and the scent really is fresh. My one concern is that it sometimes leaves residue on my clothes but I normally wash things inside out so it's not a huge deal. Perhaps more of an issue with the machines in my building than the detergent. Would recommend and will purchase again for sure! -

While I love anything coconut scented, I was really disappointed in the quality and performance of the Ogx Coconut Miracle Oil Conditioner, especially considering I thought of it as an expensive treat for myself. I have thin, oily hair and it is prone to dryness and damage. I thought this would be very moisturizing and work well for my hair but instead I was left with a tangled straw mess and it was very painful to brush. I wish I could pin point what ingredient in the conditioner did this to me, but it definitely did not give me "silky, soft island girl hair," even though I stuck it out for almost two weeks to see if it would take effect. Thumbs down from me unfortunately. -

I find the OGX brand to be a bit pricey compared to most of the bargains I find, but I was able to find the shampoo and conditioner in coconut miracle oil for $7 each at Shoppers one day. I'd been wanting to treat myself for a while so I decided to pick them both up and start using them. While the shampoo lathered well and smelled great, it didn't really do anything different than my lower priced branded shampoos and there has been so much hype about this brand and about the properties of coconut oil. I found the conditioner to be a bit poorer in quality but I will cover that in another review - although the smell was great I found my hair to be like straw after using both one after the other. Full of tangles and painful to brush. Just not for me I guess! The coconut scented version they had before this worked much better on my hair (the coconut milk variety). -
Club House Slow Cooker Beef Stew Seasoning Mix

I have been making a lot more meals in my slow cooker and I've found that Club House mixes have the best seasoning combinations for meals. It says one package will serve eight, but I find that my slow cooker and 2lbs of stewing beef makes more like 4 large portions for my lunches. My only concern is like taco mixes, the powder doesn't always absorb into the water when you're preparing it; however, last night I used a whisk and it all combined perfectly. I would recommend this mix for sure and will be watching for any sort of sale because it is usually just full price at $1.79. -

I am a big fan of Cherry Coke and usually not a fan of regular Pepsi. However, this wild cherry pepsi is delicious. I think it is more of a seasonal thing in Canada which is the same as the Cherry and Vanilla cokes - we can only get them in the summer! I should purchase a bunch to tide myself over because they're one of the few flavours of pop I drink regularly. -

I received foil pack samples of the shampoo and conditioner from a Sears order I placed online. The shampoo and conditioner both smell fantastic and the smell lingers on after your shower (not too strong though!). There was a decent amount of product but my hair is very thin and prone to tangles so I felt it wasn't enough for me to douse my hair. After towel drying my hair and trying to brush, it became apparent that I was right and some of my hair was a bit harder to brush. However, overall my hair feels very smooth and I'm sure if I used it regularly it would improve the health of my hair. As I said in my review of the Shampoo, the price point of $6 per item is higher than I would normally spend but I will likely purchase a set of these to treat myself soon. -

I received foil pack samples of this shampoo and conditioner with an online order from Sears. I've never tried this particular new range of Herbal Essences shampoos so I was very interested to try these out. Firstly, the sample size was very decent and enough for one use on medium length hair. The smell of the argan oil is just amazing and it had me reacting like those old Herbal Essences commercials (you know the ones I mean, chicks!). My one quibble is that even though I used a lot of product, it didn't lather as much as I would have hoped. If I had a full bottle I would have been tempted to use a bit more product even though I used more than I normally do this time. I have been making the rounds trying the different brands' more natural lines and this is my favourite so far. It left my hair feeling clean and smelling great. The bottle promises to 'bring your hair back to life' in just 21 days, but I'm not able to test that out because I just had the single use sample.
The price point is a bit high for me as I saw the shampoo and conditioner on sale for $6 each. I do have a coupon that was included in the sample package, so that is the only way that I would purchase these unless I was treating myself (which I will probably do soon as my Tresemmé is running out).

I loved receiving a trial size of this product in my UK Glossybox recently. While it says it is gentle enough for everyday use, I used it a few times a week and got a little addicted to how soft it made my skin! It activates instantly when adding water and provides instant results. As others have noted, this brand is very expensive and generally used at spas. While it wouldn't be my first choice normally, if money were no option it would definitely be something I repurchased. -
