I received this as part of the Product Review Club, and am so happy I got to try these out as I probably would not have tried these out on my own. These are really easy to use and make quite a big difference in a room. It was able to eliminate odours from multiple rooms. I really did enjoy the clean fresh scent of this one as compared to the Vanilla/Jasmine combo. Although I did quite enjoy the scent, I did have a problem with how strong the scent was even on the low setting. After a couple hours I HAVE to remove this, as the scent is too overwhelming for my taste although not as strong and in your nose as the Vanilla/Jasmine combination. Maybe this is more suited for a larger open area setting? As I mentioned in the other review, I really wish this came with an off switch, so I could turn it off and still leave it plugged in.
Despite how intense the smell is, i really do love this product and would recommend it to others with the suggestion of having it plugged in for short periods to give a room a "fresh" scent or leaving it in a bigger open area room. Maybe Febreze could come up with scents that are a little less NOTICEable and in your face?

I was looking forward to reviewing this product. I had such high hopes as the L'Oreal brand has never failed me yet. But I have to say, it turned out to be quite a disappointment. First, the packaging of the product made it difficult to use. The slim bottle kept wanting to tip over. And because of the packaging, it was difficult to mix the hair dye. I did however like the idea of the comb even though it ended up being more of nuisance than a help. Second, the product itself was runny and a little hard to use even with the comb topper. Third, the hair colour did not match. I selected the dark brown and it came out an orange tinge which i did not want and did not like. Overall, I really wanted to like the product as it looked so easy to use. In reality, it was quite difficult to use due to the bottle and the runny product. All of that would have been okay if it had matched my hair colour. I will have to redye my hair at this point. Unfortunately, I will not be repurchasing and will not be recommending this product. -

I received this as part of the Product Review Club, and am really glad I got to try this out. It's quite easy to use. After plugging it in, I almost immediately noticed a difference. It was able to eliminate odours from multiple rooms and left it smelling wonderful. I really like the more subtle Jasmine. For me, I prefer the low setting. As someone else mentioned, the high setting is overpowering. One concern I have with this product is that there is no off switch to it. If I wanted to switch off the scent, I would need to unplug it and in a carpeted room with no tables near the outlet, this poses a problem for me. But despite this, I do love the product and would recommend it to others. I'm already planning on getting one for my boyfriends' place. -

I was given the chance to try Garnier's Herbashine through the Product Review Club. So far I am liking the product. The application process was pretty straight forward and I didn't encounter any problems. The product scent was similar to others. I like the fact that this is an ammonia free product. I have stayed away from dying my hair because I wasn't interested in having my hair permanently dyed. I didn't want to encounter constantly having the dye my hair to cover up my roots. But because of this, this would be best only for change your hair colour slightly. For me, I was able to darken my hair slightly and I am liking the results. I believe I would use this product again due mostly to the fact that it isnt' a permanent dye -

Thanks to the Product review club and Garnier for letting me try out these products including this one. I have never tried permanent hair dyes before. I liked my first hair color experience and it wasn't as messy and I imagined it to be. I read the other reviews saying that the smell was pleasant...Maybe it's just me and my sensitive nose, but I could smell the fumes and my eyes watered. Perhaps the other reviewers were comparing it to other dyes they've tried. In the directions, youre supposed to rinse your hair until the color of the water runs clear. That never happened, so I just stopped rinsing after 5-10 minutes of running slightly tinted water.
The the entire color shield line has great packaging, smells great and works well. My hair was healthy and shiny even before the color treatment. That was one of the reasons I have never used permanent dyes - the fear of ruining my hair. After a month or so, the color is still here, hasn't faded and my hair is still healthy and shiny. To be honest, there isn't too much of a difference between using the color shield and not using it. However, it might be because my hair is naturally dark (I chose the hair color: Sangria -a red-brown color) and the difference cant be seen or isn't noticeable.
My one complaint is that after dying your hair, you can still smell the ammonia in your hair even after a couple of washes. I am sure that is what happens with all permanent dyes, but it bothered me nevertheless.
Overall, I am happy with the Nutrisse Cream and am happy I was given the chance to try these products and if I were ever to dye my hair again, I would certainly go back to this.

Thanks to the product review club for allowing to me test out these products. Originally prior to dyng my hair, my hair was somewhat shiny and smooth. I was afraid that the hair dye would ruin my hair however that wasn't the case. I believe the reason for this is in part due to this shampoo and conditioner. It kept my hair in it's original state. It smelled nice and kept my hair shiny, silky and smooth. The only problem I encountered was that even though both the shampoo and conditioner smelled great, it didn't last long in my hair and eventually the return of the amonia from the hair dye would resurface. I have always liked using the Garnier Fructis shampoo and conditioner lines and have found this one to equally great. -

Ive never colored my hair before and I have to say, the sealer is above my expectations. Its very much like liquid fiber in consistency and texture (as well was the residue on the skin after usage). The product has a very nice scent and it is long lasting on your hair -which is good because the scent of the shampoo and conditioner doesnt last too long and remnants of scent from the hair dye remains. I would recommend it because it kept my hair from going frizzy many times during humid days. -

Thanks to the Product Review Club for allowing me the chance to try this product. I was excited to try this moisturizer as I have used Marcelle products in the past and have found them to have good effective products for a reasonable price. However, I was quite disappointed with this moisturizer.
Although the packaging was quite pretty, I did not enjoy using a jar. It means either dipping your finger/hand in the product which becomes very unsanitary or using a little spatula everytime you want to use the moisturizer which can become quite a hassle. I guess you could also transfer the moisturizer to a dispenser but it may be difficult considering how thick the product is.
I though the moisturizer itself was okay. It is pretty much unscented except for the slight slight smell of sunscreen which did not bother me. I would have really liked it if it had at least an SPF level of 30. The one thing that I really enjoyed about the product was how light and creamy the product was in terms of texture. I didn't find the moisturizer to be quite so effective though. I have really dry skin and when I put on just enough to cover my face, my face still feels tight and dry. When I put it on more liberally, my skin feels fine and moisturized but I my skin looks very greasy. For this reason and the low SPF level, I have mainly been using this at night.
Overall, I thought the product was okay and may work for someone else. It did not work for me however and I will not be purchasing it when I run out. I prefer a day moisturizer for dry skin that comes in some sort of dispenser (tube or pump) with a high SPF level.

I got this as part of the product review club, and really liked the idea of the brush but was skeptical on it's effectiveness and how hygienic it would be (the dispenser traps water which stays there until you wash your face again).
When I first used it, gauging the amount of cleanser was harder than if you had dispensed in on your hand.
I really liked the texture of the brush (it's flexibility and softness) but was rather disappointed in how it performed on my face. The bristles seem a bit long so that it bends if you want more pressure on your skin -rendering the concept of the brush useless.
The shape of the bottle was somewhat difficult to handle.
I dont recommend this to people with petite facial features (the nose) because the brush is much less convenient and effective than your hands.
I loved the gel cleanser. Not at all drying and it seemed to brighten my skin. The scent is nice and light but stays on your skin at least for a few hours afterward. It didn't make a difference to how I normally applied my moisturizer.
Overall, I would recommend it just for the cleanser but not for the brush.

I was able to test this product with friends through the Product Review Club. I thought it was really really nice of chickadvisor and L'Oreal to let my friends and family to test this product out with me.
I've been trying this product for a few weeks now and was really disappointed to find that there hasn't been an improvement in the plumpness of my lips. The only benefit that I see is how moisturized my lips have been feeling. this makes for a great lipbalm / lipgloss. I really really wanted to like this, but it wasn't for me. For the price, it's not worth it just for moisturization.
