From the first time I rinsed this shampoo from my hair I felt a difference. My hair was suddenly so much easier to run my fingers through. I have long, thick, wavy hair (and more than a few split ends).
While this shampoo didn't do anything to correct my flaky, itchy scalp, it didn't make it worse, either. So that's a definite plus. Using this in combination with the conditioner has left my hair fluffy and fancy free as ever!

I received this product for free through the Chick Advisor Review Club.
From the first day I started using this conditioner with the shampoo, I found myself sliding a hand through my hair just marveling at the soft texture. I have long, thick, wavy hair and it can feel very dry, even with moisturizing shampoos, conditioners, and oils. My hair just sucks it all up!
I also have a very dry scalp and while this didn't resolve that issue (I'll still use another shampoo to combat that), it didn't make it worse, either, which is really saying something.
Absolutely no heavy residue from this conditioner, my hair is as fluffy and fancy free as ever! I can see myself using this in conjunction with the shampoo that keeps my itchy scalp at bay.
I don't know how this preforms on coloured hair, because mine is (currently) natural colour.

I tried this dry shampoo through the Chick Advisor Product Review Club. I was very excited to try a dry shampoo, up until now I'd only used corn starch, but I've had friends talk about dry shampoos with zeal.
The first time I tried this product I used it incorrectly and it did not work! Just know that there is a learning curve here. The instructions say spray 20-25cm away from hair, and they mean it! And less is more! The second time around I parted my hair in just a few places and sprayed in short blasts just a couple of times per part, making sure to hold the can at least 20cm away from my head. Then I rubbed the product around and brushed out. That did the trick.
Did I have luscious, freshly-washed hair? No. But I was able to get on with my day without feeling self conscious of my in-need-of-a-wash hair. I typically wash my hair only 3 times a week, but once in a while my hair misbehaves (ok, I misbehave, I need to not touch my hair!) and gets a little slicker a little quicker, and this dry shampoo seems to help keep my hair looking good.
I do wish the scent was less, or even non-existent, but it didn't bother me as the day went on. Did it do a better job than cornstarch? I think cornstarch does a better job on greasy hair, but this dry shampoo is far less messy overall. I'm a little concerned with the warnings about how flammable the product is, however.

I will state straight off that while this hairspray worked for me, the scent is so overpowering and lingers for so long that I can't recommend it.
I don't often use hairspray, so I didn't exactly put this product through the wringer. However, as it was part of the Dove products I received from the Chick Advisor Product Review Club, I gave it a shot.
I have long, thick, wavy hair (my hairdresser calls them beach waves). I used this hairspray for general hair control more so than to keep a specific style in place. One morning I was just having a totally bad hair day. Rather than bundle it up with a clip as per usual on a bad hair day, I applied some of this hairspray all over my hair and ran a brush through it. The frizzies were tamed, the wayward waves calmed down, and nothing was crunchy. Win! Did it make my hair luminous? Well, it didn't look dull, so I'll say yes.
I also used it on damp hair to see if it would keep my freshly-washed natural waves for a little longer than normal. It worked, and again my hair wasn't crunchy. I'd even worn a hat for part of the day!

This is my favourite lip balm of all time, and I've tried many. First discovered at the One of a Kind Show in Toronto, I always search out their booth to stock up on their shea lip butter. Wonderfully moisturizing, no scent, no taste, long-lasting and made in Canada. Always yes! -

Totally lives up to the hype: smooth, moisturizing, and doesn't melt in your pocket! This is a vegan product which means it is without beeswax, and I'm so used to beeswax in my lipbalms that the sheer smoothness of this lip balm took a little while to get used to (I had to stop myself from smushing my lips together so much!), but it does a good job hydrating, and has a gentle scent and no taste. Love it! -

I bought the Green Beaver Honey Lip Balm at Fiddleheads for $3.99 a couple of weeks ago and I'm delighted. It's all natural, doesn't melt in my pocket, and feels good. I don't find I need to reapply very often either, so that's a big plus. The scent is mild, and it doesn't taste like anything, which are both qualities I look for in a lip balm. -

I've tried some natural deodorants before, but never have they worked like this. It's like magic, and I'm not exaggerating. Over the last year I have put this product through the gamut of "testing" or, you know, life. This includes sweaty treks on the treadmill, and a multiple outdoor summer concerts, one being 8 hours long. And in all of this, Purely Great has lived up to its name. I don't stink, clothes don't stink, no re-application required. Oops, did I forget to put more on this morning and it's dinner time? That's ok, still don't stink! And I love that it's made in Canada!
My tip for best results is to wash your underarms before application.
My only downside is that my skin became irritated using the scented deodorants, but that's ok because unscented works just fine! And beware application right after shaving. Stings a little.
