I have been using Arbonne skincare for a while now and because I have color treated hair, I wanted to try a shampoo and conditioner that would help my color last longer. What drew me in was Arbonne's claim that the shampoo is clinically shown to help retain color vibrancy and longevity for up to 20 washes. As for the conditioner, they claim "Our exclusive colorLast Technology maximizes color longevity while providing softness and shine. With fortifying ingredients that help prevent strands from further breakage and damage, conditioner restores needed moisture to chemically treated hair."
The scent of both the shampoo and conditioner is pleasant, however, after using them for a few washes, I have to say I really didn't notice any big difference between the Arbonne brand and other brands I have tried other than the price.
Yes, the Arbonne shampoo and conditioner are very pricey, even if you are a rep/consultant (retail price is $46 - $30 if you are a consultant)
Bottom line for the price it's not something I will purchase again.

I only just received my package with the Le Petit Marseillais Extra Gentle Shower Creme 4 days ago and was able to try it once before leaving for vacation. The deadline for my review is today (June 18th) so can only give a preliminary review.
The shower creme has a subtle orange smell and lathered up nicely. I am used to Bath and Body Works shower gels/cremes so am used to a stronger scent. Once rinsed off. there was no residue and my skin didn't feel dry, however, using it in the winter vs. summer months may change that.
I will update my post once I have had a chance to try it a few more times.\

I received this as part of the ChickAdvisor Product Review Club along with the Nivea Q10 Firming Body lotion and Nivea Q10 firming body oil. I always have dry hands and had yet to find a lotion that nourishes my rough hands. Thanks to ChickAdvisor I have found a lotion that actually works to moisturize my hands. I started applying it before bed then realized I liked it so much I purchased another tube to keep in my purse. The lotion is fairly light and doesn't have a strong scent which are definite plusses. Definitely recommend.

I received this as part of the ChickAdvisor Product Review Club and have been using it in conjunction with the Nivea Q10 Firming Body Lotion. I haven't noticed any firming but will continue to use it in the coming weeks. The oil itself is light and has a nice scent. It's not a greasy oil and absorbs well into the skin. My skin feels nicely moisturized when using this and the lotion. Would definitely recommend

I received a 1 oz (30 ml) sample size of this with my Chick Advisor Premium Membership welcome package. It smelled heavenly and was very thick coming out of the tube. Applying it to my hands, it wasn't greasy and absorbed nicely into my skin. My only dislike is that a full tube costs about $22 CDN which is a bit more than I am willing to pay for a hand cream no matter how well it works. Not sure if I would repurchase. -

This foundation has gotten a lot of buzz on social media and I finally broke down to try it out to see if it truly is a very natural medium to full coverage foundation.
The idea behind this foundation is your skin is supposed to look perfect like you were born that way.
I picked this up in Ivory which online was indicated as fair with neutral-to-golden undertones. This is an oil free foundation infused with coconut water and there are 18 shades to choose from.
After prepping and priming my face as usual, I dotted the foundation on my face and used my beauty blender sponge to blend the foundation onto my skin. The first thing I noticed was that the Ivory (which is my normal color) was a bit too yellow for my skin tone and a little of this foundation goes a long way. It was easy to blend and did look more natural than other foundations I have tried.
I did have to powder the foundation (I used my Two Faced Primed and Poreless) and use a setting spray to stop it from transferring.
After about 8 hours of wear, I noticed that my face looked a bit shiner than normal but this could have been remedied by blotting or dusting with my Two Faced Primed and Poreless. By the end of the day, the foundation had mostly worn off.
Overall I think this is a pretty good foundation but would need to be blotted or powdered sometime during the day to keep the shinies at bay. If I were to repurchase, I would definitely choose another color - preferably one with more pink undertones as the Ivory was much too yellow for my skin tone.

Our family of three cats was chosen to review the new Arm & Hammer Slide litter as part of the Product Review Club. Even though I received this product for free, this is an unbiased and honest review.
The first thing I noticed was that this litter is a bit on the pricey side (I picked it up at Walmart where it was $15 for 6.4 kg package). The litter is much finer than our regular litter - very much sand-like - and there was no dust upon filling the litter box. There was no discernable odour to the litter. Our cats seemed intrigued by the new litter and didn't hesitate to use the litter box which is good as they can be picky with what litter goes into their litter boxes.
When it came time to clean, the litter definitely clumped well, however when scooping the clumps, they did stick to the litter pan somewhat, although not nearly as much as with our regular brand. The odour control was excellent.
While I did like the product, I sadly won't be purchasing this brand in the future as the price is just too expensive with three cats and two litter boxes.

Keeping in mind that these are cleansing cloths rather than makeup removing wipes, I use these every morning to wake up and cleanse my skin. They don't irritate either my sensitive skin or my eyes and after a few weeks of use, I've noticed my dark spots are fading. They make my skin feel lovely, and they smell delicious - like an orange creamsicle! There is truly something fabulous about these cleansing cloths. -

I was excited when I was chosen to review the Canada Dry Orange Mandariin Club Soda. I usually love any carbonated soda/water drinks however, I am sad to say I was very disappointed in this product. There was virtually no orange mandarin flavour - it tasted just like normal club soda but with a more bitter taste. Sorry, but I will not be repurchasing or recommending to friends/family.
