A quarter sized amount of this conditioner was enough to coat my medium length hair. I love the soft, comforting fragrance that it has. The conditioner rinsed out cleanly with no oily residues left over.
After blow drying my hair, I was really impressed with how soft, shiny and manageable my hair was. I color my hair every 2 months, so this is a fantastic product to use after every shampoo in order to keep my hair well moisturized.

First of all, I love the fragrance. It's soft and comforting. Next, I love that it foams up so well. I hate applying shampoo and then not being able to work up a lather. Using this shampoo did feel like a salon experience for me.
I noticed right away that my hair felt really clean, but the real test came after I had blow dried my hair. I can't believe how soft my hair felt. I tend to color my hair every 2 mos or so, so I want a product that won't strip any further moisture from my hair. This is it.

Clairol Nice ‘n Easy Perfect 10

The big plus with this is that you really only need 10 minutes for the color to take. There is no heavy ammonia smell and the color (medium brown) is exactly as described. The conditioner that comes with it is really nice, and I have found that using it after every shampoo has really kept my hair soft.
My only advice is to not bother using that comb/bottle contraption that comes with it. I don't find it that useful. I have much better success mixing the components in a small mixing bowl, then applying the color with my own coloring brush.

I like that this are easily portable and are very convenient to use. The smell is nice and light, and the size of the wipe is more than adequate for cleansing.
The only problem is that these wipes aren't so great at taking all the makeup off. I do wear a full face of foundation and find that this wipe leaves some makeup behind.
This is best used as a back up method after a full cleansing with a cleanser, or for days when I don't wear any makeup, and just need something to quickly clean and refresh my face.

I bought this when I was at Fred Meyer's in the US, and it retailed for $4.99USD. The interesting thing about Essence make up is that the price is the same in Canada and in the US, so this would have been an even better deal if I had bought it in Canada for $4.99CAD.
I love that it comes in a pump dispenser so that everything is hygienic and you can easily control the amount of product that comes out. Two pumps are enough for me to cover my entire face, and it gives such a beautiful, even, but natural coverage. I only need to put concealer on any trouble spots after, and I am good to go. Even without concealer, with this foundation on, my skin already looks quite evened out.
I have it in Shade 03 Honey which is actually a nice, golden beige shade. It matches really well with my light, golden undertone skin.

I like Dove products as in general, they are very reasonably priced and effective. This hair serum is also another great addition to their line.
My hair is frizzy, but fine, so I am always weary of putting products in there that will weigh it down. I use this after I have towel dried my hair and work a small amount from half way down the crown to the roots. I then proceed to blow dry my hair as usual, and this serum has done a great job of smoothing my hair out.
The good thing is that my hair feels soft afterwards, and the smoothing effect lasts all day.

The Blueberry with Acai combo is a nice balance between tart and sweet. I really enjoyed this flavor along with the premium, dark chocolate and crunchy nuts.
The bar tastes fresh and doesn't have the artificial after taste that I find with some lower quality snack bars.
This is a nutritious, convenient snack for people on the go.

The Cherry with Pomegranate bar has a nice sweet tartness to it that I found to be a good complement to the rich, dark chocolate and savory crunch of the nuts.
This is a good for you bar that is full or healthy ingredients. It tasted fresh and not artificial.
I recommend this as a convenient, nutritious snack for people on the go.

The cranberry with blackberry combo has a nice, fresh tartness to it that goes well with the crunch of the various nuts and the rich chocolate. Even though the bar looks like it's very decadent and chock full of calories, it's actually a good for you bar full of premium chocolate, authentic fruit and rich omega fats from the nuts.
This is definitely a great, nutritious snack for people on the go.

I received this product to review as part of the ChickAdvisor Product Review Panel.
This gel moisturizer does exactly what it says it'll do. I love applying it to my cleansed skin first thing in the morning. The gel gives a refreshing feeling, and it does seem to "wake" my skin up. I have used other brands of gel moisturizers in the past and was not impressed with their lack of moisturizing. If anything, I found my skin to be even drier. Not so with Garnier's product! My skin stayed hydrated throughout the day, and looks brighter this week since I have started using it everyday.
The only thing that I am a little bit disappointed by is the price point. I don't expect a drugstore moisturizer to go for almost $25 a bottle. I think under $20 would have been a lot more reasonable. It is definitely a great moisturizer though, and I plan to keep an eye out for it to go on sale so that I can get another bottle once this one is finished.
