I received this item for free from the Chickadvisor Product Review Club in exchange for my honest review.
I definitely won't be buying Adrien Gagnon Super Energex in the future. I really was not a fan of these.
The first issue I had was the packaging, the product was in these plastic tubes that were attached in groups of five. They looked easy enough to separate / break apart, but when I tried the top ended up coming off of one so I had to use it right away (I was planning on taking one to work with me to try the next morning). They can be separated, I would advise using scissors.
Once I opened one of the tubes the smell had me wary. It definitely does not smell great, the colour is also off putting. It's this sluggish brown / green shade.
Definitely take these with juice!! The first time I tried one I used a glass of water. It did not taste anything like orange as the package indicated. It was horrible. After that I always drank it with juice. Juice helped mask the taste a little bit, but I still tried to drink it as fast as I could.
Last but not least, I really didn't find that it did anything for my energy levels. I'm usually tired throughout the day and exhausted in the evening, that didn't change at all over the few weeks I made myself try these.
I like to try find a positive in any item I use, with these I'm sad to say that I just couldn't.

I'm a huge tea fan so I was pretty excited to see this tea included as a gift with one of the recent Product Review Club packages I received! The first thing I noticed was the smell, this tea smells AMAZING! It has such a strong blueberry scent.
I enjoyed the flavour of this tea, when I used the recommended amount on the package (1.5tsp) it had a very light sweet taste. I find with most flavoured teas you do need to use a lot of the product to really bring out the flavouring, as a daily tea drinker I am aware of this, for someone new to flavoured teas you might be a bit disappointed. The amazing aroma of of this tea is a bit misleading. I found if I used more of the product I did get a stronger blueberry taste, I also found that adding a sweetener also helped develop the flavours as well.
I probably wouldn't buy this tea again, I did like the flavour, but to really bring it out you need to use a lot more than recommended which is not worth the price for me. I would recommend this to someone though that does not mind using more of the product to get the desired taste.

I was a little hesitant to try this at first because of the baking soda, I don't know why, the idea of it just kind of turned me off. When I first used it, the baking soda was the first thing I tasted and I wasn't really a fan. I also found it to be slightly gritty / rough feeling. After a few uses though I found that I really didn't notice the baking soda taste or texture as much.
This toothpaste is really minty, when they say "Clean & Fresh" they mean it! I found that my mouth really did feel that way for quite some time after brushing. Even after having a meal a few hours later there's still a hint of the mint there.
After using it for a week I feel that it did brighten my teeth a bit. I will continue to use this toothpaste and will buy it again. I loved how clean it made my mouth feel, and the price of it is great!
One thing I would change, and this is so minor... the cap is twist off, I do love a flip top cap on my toothpaste, no chance of dropping and losing it in a germ-y bathroom. Lol!

McCain Superfries Crinkle Cut
I love using these fries to make poutine, the ridges are great for grabbing on to the cheese and gravy. Though I do find that I have to bake them longer than the bag suggests. I prefer my fries to be a bit crispier than how they come out.

I received this item for free to review as part of the ChickAdvisor Product Review Club.
The first thing I noticed as usual with a new product was the scent. I wasn't a big fan of this one. I found it to be too overpowering and bothered me, I found that I noticed it most of the day.
At first when I used this dry shampoo I decided right away I did not like it. I usually wear my hair up on my dry shampoo days so I like a product that gives me more texture for styling. This one didn't. It definitely got rid of the oil in my hair, but didn't give me the texture or volume I like to achieve for the usual up-do I go with.
I decided to give the dry shampoo another shot the day after having my hair cut. My stylist had straightened my hair and I was loving the look. I usually would not dream of wearing my hair down on a day where I didn't wash it. This dry shampoo surprised me though. It got rid of the oil, and it left my hair feeling very soft, I could still run my fingers through it and it looked pretty great!
I would recommend it, but 'm not sure if I personally would use it again. I liked that I could wear my hair down on days that I skipped a wash, but the scent really turned me off. If Dove made the same product but with a different scent then I may give it another shot.

I enjoyed using this hairspray. When I think of hairspray I think of hard and crunchy feeling hair. I didn't experience this with the Dove Hairspray!
It definitely held my style in place, and when using it when I had my hair down it still left it feeling soft and well, flexible! My hair could still move, yet also still look great. I actually ended up using it more often than I would normally use hairspray, it worked great for taming my flyaways!
I'll definitely be buying this one again.

I was pretty nervous at first about putting oil in my hair, I generally find my hair gets oily on it's own pretty quick. I was pleasantly surprised to find though that this product definitely did not leave my hair feeling oily.
I like the smell of it and I also found that a little bit went a long way. I can see this bottle lasting me a while! My hair felt very silky and was definitely moisturized after using it. It didn't leave my hair feeling heavy or weighed down, so another plus!
I don't know that this is a product I would need all the time, but it's definitely nice to have to add to my routine in the winter when I do find my hair is a bit on the dry side.

The first thing I noticed and loved was the smell of this conditioner (just like the shampoo)! I find that with most Dove products I try I'm not a huge fan of the scent. I found this one to be a bit fruity and not overpowering. I actually had a few people at work comment on how good my hair smelt when they were walking behind me! lol!
Like the shampoo I did feel that it left my hair feeling moisturized which is definitely needed in the winter, and not oily or greasy at all! It also made it very manageable after drying, my hair was soft, didn't feel like it was weighed down and didn't tangle. It's definitely a conditioner that I found I could use everyday.

The shampoo left my hair feeling great all day. It felt light and didn't weigh it down. I think it did help moisturize it, being that I tested it in the winter I didn't find my hair feeling dry at all. The nice thing is that I also did not find it going oily fast! It felt fresh and clean all day.
I definitely would use this shampoo again.

Like the Micellar water I wasn't a big fan of the Garnier SkinActive Miracle Anti-Fatigue Hydra-Gel Moisturizer. First off I found I definitely needed more than a pea size amount that the bottle recommended to get full coverage on my face.
It didn't leave my face feeling oily like some moisturizers at first which is nice, but I didn't really feel moisturized or hydrated, I actually felt my skin to feel a bit dry. I felt that it dried on my face pretty quick, but almost felt powdery, it reminded me of how a makeup primer would feel when you apply it.
I actually broke out a bit the week that I tried this product and on a place on my face that I don't normally have issues with. I won't be buying this one in the future.
