I gave up dairy a few years ago but there are a few things that I miss, including ice cream. This stuff is delicious and really 'hits the spot". It's texture is a little different (not different enough to matter) though still creamy and it's full of cookie pieces. It wasn't easy to find in the stores near my house though so that was a bit of an issue. -

I was given the opportunity to review this through ChickAdvisor. I inquired because the questions suggested it was a cruelty-free product. Upon receiving the sample, I noticed that, though it is not tested on animals, it contains both bees wax and lanolin, which are animal products, and therefore, not entirely free of cruelty, despite the designation.
Because I promised to try it, I used for a few days and it does seem to be a good product. It has a light scent, goes on smoothly, and is a good base for my foundation.
I won't, however, be purchasing it in the future because I don't use products that contain animal products. Thanks to ChickAdvisor for the opportunity, but this one isn't for me.

I received this through the Product Review Club. I find this conditioner much the same as the other drug store brands (not a complaint) and I can't really think of anything about it that sets it apart. But it's works just fine for conditioning and the price point is quite average (I only buy shampoo/conditioner on sale anyway). The only thing I have noticed is that I think I'd like it a bit better if it was a little heavier, especially at this time of year (fall) as I'm noticing that my hair is a bit frizzier/dry than it is when I use other conditioners. This is only a problem though, because I have really thick hair. The scent is nice and also mild, which is a must for me. Overall, I'm happy with it. -

Full disclosure - I received this for free from the product review club.
I wasn't expecting to like this product all that much because when I use a mint tooth paste I want it to have a really powerful mint flavour (think Colgate with Scope), and though it wasn't *that* minty it was better than expected. What I liked the most about this tooth paste was that it was thick and on the abrasive side. I don't know if that makes it clean your teeth any better but it certainly feels like it does.
The only thing that might be slightly negative is that the tube only contains 90 ml so I feel like it's only of average price at $2.99 since usually tubes contain 115 ml for that price.
All in all though, I was pleasantly surprised and would buy it again.

**Full Disclosure** I received this product free through the Product Review Club.
I really like this stuff. When I first went to apply it I felt like it might be a bit too thin (especially for winter in Ottawa) but upon application it leaves my skin feeling soft, smooth, and moisturized. My only complaint is that I wish it had SPF. I don't wear a lot on my skin and I feel like this would be enough *if* it had SPF. I still need to apply moisturizer afterwards for that reason.
I feel like the price point is slightly high but I do really like the product and would consider buying it.

**Full Disclosure** I received this free through the Chick Advisor Product Review Club.
This is a giant bottle of make-up remover (400 ml). I only use it on my eyes since I don't wear make-up on my skin and I like that it's not greasy but I do have to rub a little harder to remove my mascara effectively than I do with oil- or cream-based similar products. Having said that, the price point is amazing which makes it worth it. It will last for a long time. I should also note that it doesn't really leave a residue and there is no stinging in any capacity.
With respect to the packaging, the lid needs to be improved. The product is like water and it just drips out of the lid and it's hard to see how much you've poured. I often end up using too much because of this.

I've enjoyed this product. It's easily applied and even though you can totally tell you're wearing it, it doesn't feel heavy or greasy. It makes my skin feel smooth and I feel like it gives it a boost.
I generally have combination skin but I've recently developed rosacea; I don't find that this product aggravates it at all.

We have all standard builder issue door knobs in our home so this one is certainly a nice upgrade. The brushed nickel finish is lovely and very modern. The handle glides very easily and the installation was a breeze (which is super-important since neither my husband nor I are particularly handy). The only thing that disappoints me is that it doesn't lock. While I almost never lock the door to the room I put the new door handle on, it would still be a nice option. I probably won't be buying any more in the near future, but only because we don't currently have a budget for such things, not because we don't like the product. It's great.
And I can't comment on the price of this product, as I received it for free as part of the Product Review Club. Thanks so much! :)

This is the only tooth brush I want to use. I find that it's thick enough to feel like I'm getting good cleaning coverage of my whole tooth and it's very soft and comfortable on my gums. The handle grips are very comfortable as well. I was given a chance to review this but I bought these before as well and will continue to use them.

Crest Pro-Health Multi-Protection Rinse
I don't use moth wash on a usual basis but I really like this one. The taste is strong and lets you know it's cleaning your mouth, but isn't offensive, making you want to spit it out. I find the size is good for the price as well.Editor's Note:... +
