The same great Irish Spring smell and strength that we're used to but now our skin is soft and smooth when we're done. Gone are the days of the dry, tight skin you can sometimes get with bar soap. We love Irish Spring here and this new aloe version is a big winner. -

I have been using this treatment for a few weeks now. I have thin, bleached and colour-treated hair that could always benefit from a volume boost. I received this product to test for free.
The smell is pretty nice and stays in my hair for a few hours afterward. I didn't find it overpowering at all.
The colour and style of the bottle is pretty cool.
I'm really not convinced this did anything at all though. I wouldn't buy it again.

The colour and style of the bottle is pretty cool.
As for whether it gave me a lot of volume, I can't say that it blew me away. It definitely helped with tangles and knots and made my hair pleasantly soft - but not so much differently than any other conditioner.

As for whether it gave me a lot of volume, I can't say that it blew me away. It did, however clean well and didn't harm my hair at all. I'm still having the same amount of shedding - so I'm not sure it did anything to fix that either. A decent shampoo, but not mind-blowing.

I found this primer to be a bit more perfumed than I enjoy. It is a sort of gel consistency that dries down to a sticky base. While this is great for moisturizing, it sometimes made putting makeup over it a little difficult. I really have to let it dry down and that takes some time.
Because there are so many other great primers out there, I probably wouldn't repurchase this. It was just "ok".

I am a dry shampoo junky - so maybe my standards are a little high. I only wash my hair with shampoo and water twice a week at most. First, the good. The dry shampoo smells GREAT, just like you would expect from a Dove product. It wasn't a heavy scent and it doesn't hang with me all day. You know what I mean! Often dry shampoos are so heavily scented you can't help but smell it all day. It certainly made my hair soft and left my hair less oily.
The downside was just that it maybe made my hair too soft. I like my dry shampoo to give my hair a little boost of volume and this one doesn't do that for me. It's great for the beginning of the no-shampoo cycle, so I will finish using it, however I have other dry shampoos that are better for the latter half of the cycle where I need a little more strength.

I'm a busy lady with a daily commute and I can't always find time to make breakfast in the morning. These Boost drinks are so convenient and made the perfect quick breakfast. I even added coffee crystals to them to pack an even more delicious morning punch. They keep me satisfied for about four hours before I find myself needing a snack and that's amazing.
I will definitely be purchasing again.

Simple Micellar Cleansing Water
I received this free in exchange for my review. I love micellar water and this one holds it's head up along with the other more familiar brands. It did the job, was unscented and was gentle on my sensitive skin. Would purchase again.

I adore make-up wipes and I adore micellar water so the fact that these combined the two made my day. They were nice and wet, took off my make-up like they should and made my skin feel nice afterward. I didn't need to rinse it off like i have to do with some other wipes. Even got it in my eyes and it didn't sting!

I received this moisturizer to test for free from Chick Advisor in exchange for my review.
The pros:
It's a nice thick consistency and it definitely moisturized my dry zones. I like it particularly at night because it is on the thicker side. It soaked in nicely after a little bit of time and it didn't irritate my sensitive-ish skin at all. I believe it actually helped reduce some of my redness!
The cons:
It was a little too thick for me to use under my make-up in my morning routine unless I was willing to wait a while until it soaked in. A little goes a long way. Also - the scent was really offputting to me. It was unscented - which was great - but the scent it does carry is sort of ... musty? dusty? Like lotion that has been sitting around for while. I plan on sniffing another one in the store to see if it's just mine - because if it isn't, I won't be buying it again for that reason alone.
