I tried the Creamy Chocolate tub of this wonderful ice cream and I loved it. As someone who tries to eat healthier options, I can't say I have had the regular Breyers ice cream to compare this to. However I really couldn't tell that it was a "less fat" ice cream.
I thought the texture was light yet creamy and it wasn't overly sweet. It also didn't have an artificial taste, which some of the light products can have.
I would definitely try some of the other flavours in this line of products. I have already recommended this ice cream to several of my friends.
My only issue with it, is the price. I happen to get it on sale for $4.99, but the regular price of $7.49 seems a bit steep.

I received this product from the Beauty Review Club, and was very excited to try it. At first I quite liked the smell, but found that it soon became overwhelming. The gel texture was quite nice and it went on very smoothly. However, when I put it on right out of the shower/bath, I found it make my thighs tingle. I am not sure if that is what it was supposed to do, or if I was having a sensitivity to the fragrance.
I used this product mostly on my thighs and hips. Unfortunately, I didn't find any long term benefits. Right after I used the product, my skin did feel smoother and looked more supple, but once the product wore off (ie during the day) or was washed off, my skin went back to the way it was before.
Overall, I would say that the product was average and wouldn't suggest it to people with sensitive skin as the fragrance is quite strong.

I received this product as part of the Review Club and I love it! This time of year it is great to have a great moisturizer.
Here is what I love about it:
• Goes on smooth
• Doesn’t leave you feeling greasy
• Lasts all day
• Great on any part of the body
• Made my skin feel silky, not sticky
• Really gets deep down into your skin
• Quick absorbing
Even my boyfriend found it worked wonders on his dry elbows, and he thought it wasn’t an overly feminine scent.
Right from the bottle I am not a huge fan of the scent, but it doesn’t linger very long.
Overall, this is going to be my new moisturizer and will stock up when I run out!

I received this product as part of the review club and have been using it now for 2 weeks. I have tried a few other eye creams, but I would say that this one is my favourite! I have oily skin and found that the other creams often made me break out and were too oily feeling. The texture of this cream was great. It absorbed quickly into my skin and there were no issues using it underneath makeup. I love that it is scent free and didn't irritate my eyes at all, even when I accidentally got some in my eye.
Though I haven't noticed any change in the appearance of wrinkles (though I only have a few), nor any chance in puffyness or dark circles, I will continue to use this product and will likely buy it again when I run out.
I would recommed this product to everyone!

When I first heard about these types of mascaras, I was very intrigued. But now that I have tried this one, I am a little disappointed.
First off the pros:
-doesn't have that chemical smell that some of the recent Maybelline mascaras have had
-my lashes are soft and flexible (not stiff and spidery)
-goes on smoothly
Cons:
- the main feature of the mascara (the vibration) didn't help at all in the application
- had to apply more than 1 coat to cover all my lashes
- I found the vibrations kind of irritating to my eyes
- a bit challenging to hold down the button to make the wand vibrate and apply at the same time
Overall, I think this is an interesting idea, but I think it needs more work to make it worth the almost $20 price tag.

When I first heard about this product, I was expecting it to be like a truffle type of chocolate on the inside. This was not the case, but that is not a bad thing. I would compare the "mousse" part of the chocolate to have a marshmellow like consistency. I was quite pleased that the mousse had a very similar taste to the chocolate on the outside. I have found that frequently when the inside of the chocolate is a different type of consistency the taste is different.
I am not a huge dark chocolate fan, and the mousse inside is supposed to be dark chocolate. However I really could not tell that it was. It was not bitter at all, which I have found dark chocolate to be.
My only issue with this chocolate is the price. Though you do get 10 pieces in the package, I think that $4 is a bit much for this. But it would be nice for a treat once in a while, or if you want something different than the regular chocolate bars.
Overall, I would certainly purchase this product and would recommend it to my friends!

So I was chosen to review this for the Product Review Club and boy was I excited! However I wasn't totally excited about the product.
What I didn't like:
-The smell: it has that same gone bad/chemically smell that the Maybelline Colossal Volum' Express had
-It didn't give ANY volume: which is something I really look for in a mascara. My mother even commented that it looked like I wasn't wearing any mascara
What I did like:
-It didn't leave any clumps or globs: didn't have to comb my lashes afterwards
-It gave good length
-Looked natural
-Didn't leave my lashes looking "spidery"
-Leave lashes feeling soft: I believe they called this a satin finish
-The packaging: the tube looks like a stiletto heel
I say that I do tend to like a more dramatic effect for my lashes, and this was more of a natural look. And that my lashes are pretty long to begin with and so I have never looked for a product to lengthen my lashes.
Overall I would say that it did exactly what it said it was going to do, lengthen, but that isn't what I prefer in my mascara.

Having tried every kind of hair removal out there, I was excited when I received this item as one of Ali's Top Ten contest items, so that I could try. At first it looked like a torture device (I don't understand why my boyfriend wouldn't let me practice on him?!), but once I got it started there was hardly any pain. I would say that it hurts less than waxing, and takes about the same amount of time. So far I have only used the lower speed, but I can't think that the faster speed would hurt that much more.
It does leave little red dots from where the hair was removed (but much less than waxing), but they usually disappear by the next morning.
I have found that it doesn't get every hair with one pass, but then it could be my inexperience with epilators.
I like that it also comes with a shaving attachment, which worked well for my bikini area. I don't think I would want to try using the epilator there or anywhere on my face. I am still waiting to try it on my underarms.
Overall I would say this is a great product and really effective. When you take the cap off you can see all the hairs it pulled out. I never realized I was so hairy!

I received this from winning Ali's Top Ten contest, and I am enjoying it quite a lot! I am a big fan of Cargo cosmetics, especially since they are a Canadian company.
I am not usually a big gloss fan since most tend to be very sticky and my hair has been known to get stuck on a windy day, but this gloss isn't sticky at all. I found it a little strange that it didn't come with its own little lip brush (as most of those compact types do).
I really like the colours, but I am enjoying the darkest colour the best. There is no smell or taste and it doesn't dry out my lips either.
Overall this is a great product!!

I just had to comment on this place, though I have actually never been in. (So my star ratings above don't really count, but I had to put something) Last Sunday November 16, 2008 I walked by to check out the prices of this place. There on the door was a sign stating that they were going to increase their prices because the Toronto Public Health told them they needed to improve their hygiene practices! This totally blew me away and would prevent me from ever going in! -
