I got to try this product through the awesomeness of the Product Review Club. Thanks!
I've been using this product for about 2 weeks now and have noticed a difference in softness in my skin in the area. However, like many other people have said, I have yet to notice a difference in the visual appearance of hair in the last two weeks. That may change over time.
In terms of effectiveness, I didn't think it was any different than many other deodorants. It kept the odor at bay but at the end of the day, I could still smell the odor on me a little. I was hoping this was going to be more effective than others that I have tried like Arm & Hammer and Secret Clinical.
Another thing that i noticed that others have mentioned is that the deodorant does leave quite a bit of streaking behind on my clothes.
Overall, I found this Dove product to be okay. However, for my needs, I think I need one that is a bit more effective to control my BO.

I got to try this thanks to the Product Review Club. I have to say, this is a pretty good body lotion and it couldn't have come at a better time! My skin is on the dry side year round, but once winter hits, it gets really bad. So far Sheer Infusion has helped me keep the dry skin at bay. I like the fact that this lotion isn't greasy after you apply, and that it seems to sink into your skin rather than just staying on the surface. I know quite a few people did not like the scent, but it didn't bother me at all. It just smells like lotion to me. I also love that it's a squeeze tube and mess free. It makes it easy to get every little bit of lotion from the bottle. With pumps, you tend not to get the stuff at the very bottom. I have to say though, I do have a problem with the price. It seems to me that for $8.49 you should be getting a lot more product than just 200mL.
Overall, a great lotion!

I got to try Marcelle's new eye cream as part of the Product Review Club. I've used Marcelle products in the past with good results and this eye cream is no exception. I really enjoyed using this.
Just a little background info, I am 26 with no visible wrinkles yet (thank goodness) but I do have a little bit of puffiness and dark circles. I also have dry skin. I have been using this product for about 10 days now and I have really enjoyed using it.
As some have said, the texture is like a creamy gel and it absorbs really (!) well into the skin. It absorbs a lot better and faster than Clinque's All About Eyes cream which gave me blurry vision because the cream went into my eye rather than into my skin. I also like the fact that Marcelle's eye cream comes with a pump which makes it very sanitary compared to the usual creme pot setup. You don't need to apply too much for it to work: for me, one pump is enough for both my eyes. Since I've started using this, the skin around my eye area hasn't looked as dull as it used to be which makes my puffiness and dark circles less noticeable. I think given time the circles might diminish and well as the puffiness. When my bottle finishes up, I'll definitely be picking up another one. Hope this helps!
What kind of results you noticed.

Breyers Double Churn Chocolate Cheesecake Frozen Dessert

Ok, of the three flavours that I tried through the Product Review Club, this one was the one I was looking forward to the most. I don't think I've ever seen a chocolate cheese cake flavour much less tried one.
When you first open the lid of the container, you're greeted with these wonderful thin rings of white and brown of the cheesecake and chocolate. In terms of the actual ice cream, I found that this particular flavour was sort of creamy but definitely had a milk solids taste with it. It is not in my opinion comparable to Haagen Daaz unlike the Dark Chocolate Velvet flavour. If you taste just the white portion of the ice cream it does taste like cheesecake. And if you taste just the brown portion it does taste like chocolate. However, when you taste the ice cream as a whole (both cheesecake and chocolate) you can't really taste the flavours anymore. It just tastes like very light chocolate. I guess the chocolate flavour overpowers the cheesecake portion. It may be a good idea to put more cheesecake than chocoalte to counteract the imbalance of the flavours. If asked to suggest this one or not, I would have to say not. Get the Dark Chocolate Velvet instead! That one's fantastic!

I have to say, this one for me was definitely my least favourite of the the 3 flavours that I got to try with the Product Review Club. I am not a fan of banana flavoured products especially banana flavoured candy and cough syrup. It just has this weird fake banana taste normally - not at all like what a real banana tastes like.
With that being said, Breyers Banana Cream Pie has certainly exceeded my expectations. While I won't claim to say that I love this flavour or would buy it again, I will say that it was much more pleasant that I expected. For one thing, it tasted like REAL banana (not like the cough syrup flavour stuff). So if you like banana products you should love this one. I also liked that this had a crunch to it. I guess that would be the crust of the pie. One thing I didn't really like though was that I thought this was supposed to be extra creamy. I didn't find it to be as creamy as other Breyers Extra Churned flavours. I thought there was more of a milk solids taste to it.
To be sure, this was definitely better than I expected and if I liked banana products I would absolutely buy it again.

Let me start by saying I've been a fan of Breyers Double Churned ice cream for a while now. My absolute favourite has to be the strawberry. So when given the chance to try this new line, I was really excited.
Of the three flavours that I got to try as part of the product review club, this one for me was definitely the clear winner. The extra creaminess that Breyers claims is really evident in this flavour. As someone has pointed out, this one is truly comparable to Haagen Daaz. I really enjoyed the dark chocolate flavour. To be honest, when I first realized I would be trying out this flavour, this wasn't the one I was looking forward to the most. I thought it would be like all other chocolate ice creams. This Dark Chocolate Velvet I find is unique and has definitely surpassed my expectations. Firstly you CAN taste the dark chocolate in it without it being too bitter. It is perfect in terms of sweetness and richness and I could go on and on about how creamy it is. I will certainly be going back to get another one soon!

I bought this after reading and hearing many wonderful reviews on this product. The main reason I got this is because my eyelids are fairly oily and my eyeliner never stays in place no matter what long lasting pencil/cream/gel eyeliner ( I hate liquid) I had tried (Mac Fluidline, HIP Cream Liner, UD 24/7 pencil, MUFE pencil, Stila Smudgepots, Shisedio) . I only ever place it on the top lash line and somehow after two hours it always ends up on the bottom giving me raccoon eyes. I had heard that this also increases the wear of the eyeliner as well as obviously the eyeshadow so I really had my hopes up. When I finally tried it, I really loved what it did for my eyeshadow. My eyeshadows did become more vibrant after using this and there was minimal creasing by the end of the day too. However, it did not solve my eyeliner problem. I don't think it even made any difference as far as my eyeliner was concerned. All in all, it's a great product that does wonders for eyeshadow but just didn't solve my number one problem. I have since found Smashbox Jet Set Liner which by some miracle of God is the only eyeliner I have ever tried that has not given me raccoon eyes. Yay! =) -

I must say, I was really really excited to try these which is all thanks to the product review club. When Nestle first came out with the Noir line a year or so ago, I was thrilled because there aren't many quality dark chocolate brands out there. Since then I have tried pretty much all of their chocolates but my favourite has to be the Eclat Noir - the one with the caramelized cocoa bits ( I love it so much, there is one sitting in my pantry right now). One thing I have noticed with Nestle Noir is that their offerings are very similar to what Lindt has. Nestle Noir's new Mousse Delicate is no exception. When I first saw it, it immediately put me in mind of Lindt's Petit Desserts Chocolate Mousse line which I also love so I really really had to try this one!
I have to say, I really did enjoy these although I found it a bit too rich. I thought both the dark chocolate and the milk chocolate outter shells were nice and the mousse inside really rich, dark, sweet and smooth. I do wish the mousse wasn't so "wet" if that makes any sense. These would be perfect with a tall glass of milk. I would also hope that they came with more flavours like their chocolate bar line. The thing I liked about Lindt's Petit Desserts Chocolate Mousse that I wish Nestle had was the Hazelnut mousse filling. It has little tiny bits of hazelnut in it's mousse which I thought was pretty good. Hoepfully. Nestle comes up with something similar or other varieties to try out.
One more thing to bring up. I absolutely hate the packaging. I mean, it's pretty and all, but not very practical. The box opens up like a book with no real enclosure. The contents can easily be spilled and the chocolates do not remain fresh for long due to it's exposure to the air.
All in all, I do like these and am looking forward to what Nestle Noir comes up with next.

Awesome mascara! I've been on and off this one for years but I keep coming back and always wonder why I even bother trying others when this one works so well on me. It does exactly what it says - it volumizes my lashes making it thicker and longers as well. The best part of about this mascara is that it stays put and doesn't smudge or flake on me like other mascaras. The only part that I don't like about this is that after it's been open for awhile, the mascara starts clumping on me and making my eyelashes look spidery. My solution to this is just to brush it with a clean wand before it sets dry. It's an awesome mascara and at such an affordable price too! -

this is an awesome eyelash curler! I recently got this as a replacement as I had lost my old one (some cheap one I bought years ago -Revlon maybe?) and let me tell you, I never thought there was anything wrong with my old one until I tried this one! I didn't know that your eyelash curler wasn't supposed to hurt when you used it or that it did a poor job of curling my lashes until i tried the Shu Umera one. This one is amazing! It fits my eye curavature so well that it never hurts now when I curl my lashes and it doensn't crimp them, it CURLS them! Although this one is on the pricier side, I think it's worth every penny. This will last you for years to come! -
