I received this from Chick Advisor review club along with the shampoo and conditioner in the Aqua Light line. I am not a fan of this spray. I often wait until my hair is almost dry to blow it (to save it from heat damage) and this spray made my hair crunchy feeling as it dried, which I don't like at all. I usually use a conditioning spray as a detangler after showering for my long highlighted hair so i can get a comb through it. This did not provide enough detangling for me and smelled a bit alcoholey. For detangling and light conditioning after a shower, the regular Pantene leave in conditioning spray is great - smells a lot better than this too, i love that product but won't use this one again. -

I have healthy, highlighted blonde hair that is not dry at all. i was hoping the new Pro V aqua light shampoo and conditioner would moisturize my highlighted hair without any weight but it just didn't moisturize enough. It felt really dry after a few uses and was REALLY tangled. I spent double the time i normally do combing it out. I usually use Pantene shampoo and conditioner (the one with the green top) and love how it leaves my hair, so i'll just go back to that. I love how silky it leaves my hair and the smell is really nice.
I would recommend this aqua light one for someone with very thin, oily hair only.

Love the Dove classic beauty bar. The scent is lovely and soft, not perfumey or overpowering and it effectively strips away makeup without leaving my skin sapped of all its moisture. I still need to apply moisturizer after (but who wouldn't after cleansing?). I have used this on and off for years and always come back to it for both face and body.

Marcelle Essentials 1st Wrinkles Day Cream SPF 15

I really like that there are now products coming out for early wrinkles - I am too old for young skin products and too young for the heavy anti-wrinkle regimens that I see on the market. So, I was happy to try this new line from Marcelle.
The woman on the box looks like an alien. Her skin is so taught and perfect, she must be French....The jar feels nice and heavy, it's the glass bottom that gives it the weight.
My experience with the cream was not great. It is a nice consistency but a wee bit too thick, especially for a day cream - maybe appropriate for night but not day. I have sensitive skin that can also be oily at times in the tzone and dry on the cheeks but also getting early wrinkles. Because i'm sensitive, i react to some products with a rash unfortunately, so I'm extra cautious with products that have SPF. This has an spf of 15, which i love the idea of but others are doing it better than marcelle is in this product.
Back to the product: It smells like a sun screen, which i disliked immediately. It also leaves a sticky filmy residue, which screams sunscreen to me. Sadly, i will not be using this on my face again. The spf is not high enough to use it as an outdoor/weekend facial sunscreen product and it's too icky-sunscreeny to use during the week for work under makeup on my face. I will however make use of it by applying it to the backs of my hands as a sunscreen (but I'll immediately wash the palms of my hands because the sticky feeling it leaves behind is yuck).
I am unclear as to what the anti-wrinkle properties are in this cream. From what i could tell, it was just the SPF that is the anti-aging quality.
Two others that are good to try if you're looking for spf in a face cream for the mid-30s group: Clarins Multicorrect day lotion with SPF (Comes in a pump, from the US, not yet available in Canada) and for lower price point, Neutrogena has a 25spf that is good - Ageless Essentials continuous hydration lotion. Really good. I don't break out, good under makeup and no suntan lotion smell.

I tried this and the scent was annoyingly overpowering. It's also a small size so you run out very quickly. As for the texture, it was nice and I felt that the moisture lasted, but I had to relegate it to a foot cream at night because anywhere north of that the smell bugged me and interfered with my perfume. -

I started using this product right after it arrived, focusing the slathering on the back of my thighs and rear, typical problem areas for most women. I like the scent and consistency, no complaints there and the tube is nice and sleek looking.
However, I had to stop using for a week or two because i found it made me itch during the day when I was sitting at work, so assumed some ingredient was irritating when wearing nylons or leggings. I waited a few days and started using again this week. So far haven't noticed any difference in the cellulite but will report when I have finished using the tube. Will keep at it until it's gone! Bikini season is coming and worth fighting the orange peel with all I've got.

I have used Dove bar soap for over a decade so was glad to try the new body wash. I have been using this body wash for the last month. It's very rich and thick (much thicker than any other that I have tried), which is nice because it doesn't run off of the puff. The lather is great and it truly is moisturizing. I am able to sometimes skip moisturizer after the shower with this product, which is nice when I'm in a rush. The scent reminds me of Donna Karan's Cashmere mist perfume a bit, soft and subtle. I would recommend this to a friend as long as they don't mind scented products.

I recently had a family heirloom ring resized there. Service was quick (it was done that afternoon) and the diamonds have never looked this sparkly. I actually wondered if it was the same ring (or if the stones had been replaced with sparkly CZs!!!). The location is deceptive - looks a bit ghetto but apparently Tiffany sends people there when they're too busy to handle the work.

I was lucky enough to try three flavours of the SoftLips Pure product - unscented, citrus and bergamot. I actually like this one, though at first the scent reminded me of citronella candles (bonus if it actually repels skitters from my face in the woods!). The scent is vaguely "Aveda-ish", which I liked. And, like the original Softlips products, it was smooth and moisturizing without goopiness, stickiness or a waxy feeling. Definitely worth trying!
