I picked this up at Shopper's Drugmart after experiencing some moderate breakouts on my face. I didn't have much luck with products that contained salicylic acid and decided to try one benzoyl peroxide. The Oxy Acne Vanishing Treatment contains 5% benzoyl peroxide.
It did help with the minor pimples I had. I found it really drying, which is typical with acne treatments with benzoyl peroxide. I didn't do much for my deeper, cystic type acne.
Within a few days my skin was really itchy, flaky, and dry. A used an oil free moisturizer to help this.
All in all, I would recommend this for someone who is experiencing minor breakouts, but not for anything major.

Goody Ouchless Hair Elastics

I recently purchased Goody Ouchless Hair Elastics because I was tired of having my hair get snagged in the metal on other elastics. The price was really good for the amount of elastics in the pack.
While I do like that these do not have any metal, I found to stretch out after using them a few times leaving them too loose. My hair is always falling out of them when I go for a jog or exercise. I also have had a lot of them break on me, without over-stretching them.
I would recommend them for children or for a loose pony tail.

I received this product to review from the Chick Advisor Review Club.
I used this masque after washing with L'Oreal Professionnel Intense Repair Shampoo. I really liked the smell of it. it wasn't too overbearing. The texture was really nice, it is similar to that of a lotion or a thick conditioner. After leaving on for 3 minutes, I rinsed it out and was surprised at how soft and conditioned my hair felt.
When my hair was completely dried, I noticed that my hair appeared to feel softer and lighter than when I use other conditioners. It was also a lot shinier. My aunt had visited after I used it and couldn't believe how soft and shiny my hair was.
I was really impressed with this product and would definitely recommend it to others if you have dry hair.

I received this product to review from the Chick Advisor Review Club.
Upon first seeing the bottle, I was surprised at how small the bottle was for the price. I opened the bottle up and wasn't hit with a strong fragrance like with most shampoos.
The shampoo had a light fragrance that in my opinion smell liked grass. I wasn't particularly fond of it, but it wasn't too bad. I decided to first start out by trying a small amount of the shampoo to see how much would be needed for my long hair. I was surprised that I was able to use a lot less shampoo than other brands. The lather was just right. Not too sudsy. It rinsed out fairly easily. When used without conditioner it left my hair feeling softer and healthier looking without feeling weighed down. I think it is a great shampoo that works well on its own to hydrate dry hair on the days where you are in a hurry or don't feel like using a conditioner. When paired with L'Oreal Professionnel Intense Repair Masque, you get major hydrating results.
Although the price is a little high, I would definitely recommend this shampoo to others.

I received this product to review from the Product Review Club.
Upon first seeing the product, I noticed that it was a lot smaller than I expected and then I started wondering whether or not that made it less powerful than the other power toothbrushes I have seen and heard of. When I first tried it, I couldn't believe it! I had to change it to the 'Sensitive' setting because it was a little too strong!
After knowing what to expect for the next time, I started using the stronger setting. I did experience some minor gum bleeding, but that went away after a few days. The bristles on the brush are a little harder than what I am used to, so I attribute the gum bleeding to that.
After trying the Oral-B Pulsonic for a week, I have to say I am amazed. The brush offers a very thorough cleaning that I haven't ever experienced at home. The precision tip allows me to get to areas that I couldn't ever reach before. I am starting to get white patches on my teeth where the stains have been coming off. I love it. My whole mouth has been feeling fresher and cleaner.
I would definitely recommend this toothbrush to others!

I love this face wash! It has a very light scent. A little goes a long way! I just use a little dab and with a little added water, it foams up enough to wash my face and neck.
It is one of the only face washes that I have used that has my face feeling soft and clean, without feeling tight and itchy. It rinses well, without leaving any residue. It is very gentle, but cleans very well.

I was selected to review the Crest 3D White Whitestrips 2-hour Express as part of the product review club. I had just kicked my 15 year smoking habit, so I was looking forward to getting rid of the nicotine stains.
The strips were easy to apply and stayed in place for the 2 hours I had them on. I didn't have any pain while wearing them. I continued to drink water during the 2 hours and had no problems with them loosening or moving.
Removing the strips was easy. There was a little bit of residue left over, but it was easily removed by brushing. I noticed my teeth were now a few shades whiter, but not as white as I had expected.
I noticed some sensitivity in my teeth earlier in the evening, which quickly turned into throbbing pain. Pain relievers did not help. I had to take a sleeping pill to help me get to sleep.
It is now the next morning and the pain is still there, but it has lessened some.
In the end, I probably wouldn't recommend this product to others. It did whiten, but the results were not what I expected for a product that is used for 2 hours, every 3 months. The sensitivity and pain was not worth it.

I had a love-hate relationship with this foundation. I like the coverage it provided, but if my face was the slightest bit dry, it would accentuate it. It had an attached brush that I found a little too stiff. There wasn't much of a selection of shades, which made choosing a shade without trying it first really tough. For the amount of product in the container, the price was a little high compared to buying other drugstore foundations. It was also quite messy. Brushing it on often led to a fine dust getting on my clothing and the surrounding area. There was a mild odor that I did not like, but it wasn't much of a problem.
It was quick and easy to apply though, and it made my face feel soft and smooth. I was left with a light-medium matte coverage.
If the price was lower, I would definitely recommend this foundation.

I received a free product coupon to try Clairol Nice 'n Easy Color Blend Foam earlier this year. The color I purchased was Medium Brown, which was closest to my natural hair color as I wanted to just cover the greys. The color came out to be dark brown, almost black. The color did not look natural for the first week or two. I did receive many compliments on the color a few weeks after the dye though.
I found the foam to be quite runny and messy. At one point I was squeezing the foam bottle with my gloved hands and the bottle slipped out and flew a few feet, hitting the wall and leaving stains. I did not like the smell of the product at all, and it seemed to stay for a few days afterwards.

This is my most favorite body lotion! The kind I use is deep moisture with cocoa butter, jojoba & vitamin B5 for normal skin.
It is the only lotion that makes my skin feel silky smooth and hydrated, without making it feel sticky or oily. It absorbs rather quickly and has a light fragrance that isn't too overbearing. The lotion has shimmer added to it that makes my skin look radiant.
