Thank you Chickadvisor for giving me the opportunity to review this product.
Similar to the shampoo, this conditioner rinsed off well without leaving my hair feeling overly greasy or heavy. It does provide a bit of conditioning but not the intense level of conditioning that some other conditioners may provide. I think it's a great option for people who have thick or greasy hair that they don't want weighed down. It may not be so good for dry hair which may need additional moisture.
The scent of the conditioner was also light and subtle. Overall, this is a good product.

Thank you Chickadvisor for giving me the opportunity to review this product.
I absolutely love this product! I have been using it as a protective spray before heat styling as well as a quick refreshing spray when I need to quickly restyle my hair. Usually I just use water when I need to restyle but I like the fact that this product also provides some conditioning and now that the weather is getting warmer, it's a great option for adding a bit of moisture to my hair.
Overall, I would use it again since I use it as a three in one (for style protection, conditioning and for a hair touch up). Thank you for introducing me to this product!

Thank you Chickadvisor for letting me review this product as part of the product review club. I really liked this shampoo. It works up into a thick lather and rinses off cleanly and doesn't leave any greasy residue behind. As a result, my hair feels light and clean. I would use this shampoo in the summer when I prefer a lighter shampoo as the humidity makes my hair more heavy and greasy compared to the winter. However, in the winter, when my hair needs extra moisture, I would be less inclined to use such a light shampoo as my hair needs deeper conditioning.
Overall, this is a good product that works well, leaves hair feeling clean and light with a subtle and not overly strong fragrance.

I have been looking for a good facial cleanser for quite some time but have never been impressed with the results. I used a beauty bar soap (Body Shop Vitamin E soap) for years before it was discontinued. It would clean my skin while leaving it soft, supple and moisturized. I loved it!
I have been trying to find a suitable replacement ever since. I tried the Nutriganics Foaming Cleanser when I bought a small gift set that included the entire face care line (foaming cleanser, toner, day cream and night cream). I have mixed feeling about this product. It's a nice thick lather when I put it on and it washes away completely. However, my skin feels slightly dehydrated after and I don't like the idea of it coming out as a foam. I feel like it's somehow diluted or that I'm paying for air since it's coming out as a airy foam.
Overall, it's not a bad product but the overall result and the way that it's packaged doesn't leave me feeling that it's a totally effective product or worth the money.

I have been trying to find a good exfoliator and have had good luck with Body Shop products in the past. A member of the Body Shop staff educated me about their Vitamin C line which is supposed to help brighten the skin and includes a very effective microdermabrasion product.
I have never tried a microdermabrasion product before so was curious to try this one out. You don't need a lot of this since a little bit goes a long way. The roughness of this product is more significant than regular exfoliators so you have to be careful not to rub too hard.
However, I find that this product is a little too rough on my skin. My skin would feel overly sensitive and dry after I used it and I didn't find it to be all that effective at improving my skin's complexion. If anything, it irritated it. My skin does tend to be a little sensitive, however, so other people who don't have sensitive skin might find this product to be effective.
However, I would personally pass up on this product and try another one that is more gentle, doesn't dry out or irritate my skin and gives me the results of a clearer complexion.

I've been trying to find a good exfoliator/scrub for years. I had good luck in the beginning but the products either got discontinued or the formulation changed. I usually exfoliate once a week to get rid of black heads and to smooth out the surface of my skin but have had mixed reviews with the latest products that I have tried.
Aveeno Fresh Essentials Daily Exfoliating Scrub is no different than the other ones that I've tried. It smells nice and the fine, gritty texture is promising. However, after a couple weeks I don't see any remarkable results. it doesn't do a very good job at removing my black heads and my skin feels a little dry after. It's a fairly good product for the price but I wouldn't say it's great. I wouldn't mind spending a little more to have more effective results.

Thank you for Chickadvisor for giving me the opportunity to review this product. I have always wanted an electronic toothbrush and it's something that my dentist has been recommending to me for years. I was a little taken aback by the vibrating motion of this toothbrush. i was actually expecting the more conventional electronic toothbrush that has the rotating head..
I do like the fact that the electronic toothbrush has a timer (30 seconds) so that I am sure to brush each quadrant for the proper amount of time. However, I don't know if I would choose this toothbrush over my manual toothbrush because I question whether the vibrating motion is actually helping to clean my teeth more. I would prefer the ones that have the rotating head because these are the ones I've seen and am more familiar with. I also think that they would do a more effective job at actually "brushing" the teeth. I'm not sure if the Pulsonic is featuring some sort of new technology in the world of electronic toothbrushes, if so, I am not aware of it. I even asked several of my friends who own electronic toothbrushes and have been using them for years and they all have the ones with the revolving head.
I would probably do some more research around electronic toothbrushes before deciding whether or not I would choose this one. Electronic toothbrushes cost significantly more than manual toothbrushes, so I'd want to make sure that it's worth the investment.

This is my favourite overall hand cream. It's reasonably priced and it works. It's also unscented which is nice. Unlike other hand creams, this one isn't greasy and I can feel that it continues to moisturize throughout the day. I find that I don't have to keep reapplying hand cream once I've used it once.
It forms a nice protective barrier and prevents my skin from drying out even when I wash my hands. It does a really good job of locking in moisture. I definitely recommend this hand cream.

I'm always looking for a blush that will go on light and natural and provide color that brightens the complexion while adding a glow and slight shimmer (without being sparkly). If you're looking for a blush like that, the Baked-To-Last Blush by Body Shop is a good choice. It adds just the right amount of color without looking too heavy and gives a nice iridescence that looks natural. If you are just getting used to blush or want something that goes on light and natural, this one would be a good choice to start out with.
There are other blushes that are out that which provide a more saturated color if you're looking for a more dramatic look but if you're not used to wearing blush, you might feel that the color is too heavy for what you're used to. For a starter blush or a hint of color, this one is a good choice.

I finally decided to give the Nutriganics line at Body Shop a try. This is the line that replaced the line (Kinetin) that I used to buy. I have to admit, this new line is pretty good. I especially like the night cream which is a nice, rich, thicker cream without being oily. This is probably one of the best products of this particular line. The day cream isn't bad either. I used to use the Vitamin E line but find that line to be a little too watery for my skin's current needs. I will definitely be using this product as my night cream going forward. -
