As a product review member, I was given a sample of Dove Go Sleeveless with Nutrium Moisture from ChickAdvisor (thanks!) to test.
I've used the same anti-perspirant for well over 10 years, so it was nice to try something new! My overall experience so far has been great.
I'm always "sleeveless" during the summer, and I feel confident when using Dove Go Sleeveless .. I have not experienced any unsightly clumping or staining on my shirts.
The scent is wonderful, yet mild, and remains fresh smelling for long periods of time. We've had some pretty intense humidity this summer and I've only had to apply once a day.
Overall, I am extremely pleased with this product - way to go Dove! I will be buying this in the future and would most certainly recommend it to others!

I was given the opportunity to review Cottonelle Ultra Bathroom Tissue thru the Product Review Club - thanks ChickAdvisor!!
I simply LOVE this toilet paper! It is quite thick so less is needed. I find it does a great "wiping" job and has excellent absorbancy. However, it could use some additional "softness" as it doesn't feel as soft as one would expect. I also was cautious with the little ones using it as they have a tendency to use more TP than needed and I'm much afraid with the added thickness it could spell disaster.
Would I recommend it? Sure. Purchase it? Despite really liking this toilet paper, I don't find it very cost effective for a family of 5 so I can't see me going out of my way to purchase it unless it is on sale.

I was given the opportunity to review the Cottonelle Flushable Cleansing Cloths thru the Product Review Club - thanks ChickAdvisor!!
I was quite impressed with these little life savers. They happened to arrive just a couple days before a camping trip in the woods - the timing was impeccable!
Just as with baby wipes - I used these for everything imaginable as well as their intended purpose. I found the quality excellent. The cloths are quite durable (i.e. don't rip or fall apart easily), and they leave a lasting feeling of freshness after use. My children even liked them.
I fully intend to purchase these and make them a regular staple in our bathroom and my purse! Would definitely recommend!

I'd like to thank ChickAdvisor for giving me the opportunity to test this product as a part of the Product Review Club -- thanks!!
This was a tough one for me. I have been using the same brand/style of toothbrush for close to a decade and never felt the need/want/desire to try another.
PRO's: Crest has every right to boast about this toothbrush! The claims of removing hard to reach plaque
and cleaning along the gum line are 100% accurate...my mouth has NEVER felt cleaner! I was so skeptical but even after only one use I couldn't believe the difference! The bristles are soft enough to maneuver in to all of the tight spaces while being gentle on the gums, but firm enough to remove all the yucky stuff lurking in the nooks and crannies.
I was also impressed with the decrease in surface stains on my teeth. After recently quitting smoking I have been super conscious of the damage done, so it was an added bonus to actually see some of that brushed away! It's no miracle brush, but it definitely helps!
And my favourite part -- how well it cleans my tongue! I suppose it could be called a slight obsession, but having a clean tongue is a must for me. I am an avid coffee drinker, so build up from the sugar & cream on my tongue drives me crazy. With my old toothbrush I found myself in the bathroom an extra 3-4 times a day just to brush my tongue as I felt the job was just never quite done. But with this toothbrush? I don't need any extra "tongue cleaning time" between my regular 3x a day brushing -- YAY!!
CON's: ........... there are none. I don't have a single bad thing to say about this product. Believe me, I tried to find something, but notta.
CONCLUSION: This is just an all around fantastic product. I am super impressed with the quality, the job it does, and the prices I've seen it advertised for. Congratulations, Crest. You won me over. After 10 years of using just one brand/style of toothbrush - I've finally found a reason to switch - the old one is now in the garbage! :-)
I would definitely recommend this, and will certainly be buying in the future!

Thanks to the ChickAdvisor Product Review Club, I had the generous opportunity to try Crest Pro-Health Multi-Protection Rinse! Thank-you!
I have to admit, I'm not usually a Crest user when it comes to mouth rinses, and I'm typically not a huge fan of them anyway. But I have to say, I'm impressed.
PRO's: I love the fact that this is alcohol-free! This did not burn like traditional mouthwashes do! Excellent for me, as that's the biggest reason I don't like mouthwash! I really liked the taste of this as well. It wasn't overpowering but had the strength to keep my breath fresh for quite a while after use. It kind of reminded me of that feeling when you first start chewing a fresh piece of gum...but it lasted much longer!
CON's: There's always a little bad.
I was not overly fond of the blue bits left on the surface of my tongue. Mind you they disappeared in a short period of time and it seemed as if they did help keep the freshness longer -- I just couldn't get passed the thought of someone seeing 'blue chunks' on my tongue! That is the only issue I had with this product.
CONCLUSION: I would definitely recommend this product (already have) and will most certainly be ditching my old mouthwash and purchasing this in the future...definitely impressed! Good one, Crest! :-)

I've recently been given the opportunity to test this product for FREE from the ChickAdvisor Product Review Club (YAY! Thank-you!)
I have to say, I'm a bit disappointed. I really expected more from this toothpaste. The flavour is very mild and I did NOT like the taste it left in my mouth afterwards. When I used the toothpaste alone (without using mouthwash after) I found myself being conscious of my breath...it just didn't "feel" fresh for long which is something that makes me a repeat buyer.
I felt like I needed to use more product than with other Crest toothpastes...and for me, that's a downfall when I'm paying a higher price for a toothpaste.
The hubby and children don't seem to be fond of it either as I see they've all resorted back to the old tube of Crest. Such a bummer - I really wanted to like this product.
In closing, I don't think I'd recommend this product and I certainly won't be purchasing it myself. Sorry Crest!

I truly do love this product!
Although I haven't taken the plunge to make Dove my #1 brand for deodorant, I do have to say how great it is.
I've tried it a few times and have been impressed. I find the scent is wonderful, and the deodorant does what it's supposed to do - keep me FRESH! :0)
The price is right compared to many other products!
Definitely recommend! :0)

I have to say, Dove's body mists are amazing! I bought my first one a couple of years ago because it was on sale - I figured I'd give it a try. I'm very happy I did, because these are the only body mists I buy now.
The price is very affordable, the smells are amazing, and the product lasts a long while too. Many other body sprays/mists need application multiple times, but I find Dove's scent holds it's own for quite some time, hence why the product lasts so long.
I definitely recommend this to others and continually keep stocking my shelves with it! :0)

I was fortunate enough to be given the chance to review the Dove Original Beauty Cream Bar for free from Chick Advisor Product Review Club - YaY!
Ok, so let's get this started.
Scent: The bar has a bit of a strong smell to it, kind of reminds me of baby powder. I personally loved the fragrance, but I do think that someone who is sensitive to strong scents could be put off by this.
The Bar: As usual, Dove has the PERFECT sized bar, and the shape makes it so easy to hold on to in the shower. It fits perfectly in the palm of my hand so I need not worry about playing "fetch the soap" when I least want too.
Lather: To my surprise, the Dove Beauty Bar actually lathers well, both on a bath puff or just using it by hand. Typically I don't use bar soap for 2 reasons; one of them being due to lack of lathering. Perhaps I just like to see lots of bubbles :0)
Rinse: My other reason for NEVER using bar soap is because of the residue that is left behind after the "rinse cycle". The Dove Beauty Bar truly impressed me on this note. The soap rinses off the skin incredibly well, and leaves my skin feeling soft with a lovely fresh scent.
Note: The only down side I can see to this bar other than the noted strong smell for those who are sensitive - I don't find the bar lasts very long. Within a few days I was down to just a little sliver of soap left - although - I think others in the house have been sneaking my soap! So this very well could just be an issue I have experienced.
My Conclusion: After being a die hard body wash fan for years, I do believe that Dove has shown me that miracles can happen - ok - so not a miracle, but they have shown me that I can have body wash quality within a convenient bar. My skin is still super soft and my "sensitive skin" problem hasn't flared up at all during use.
Well done Dove - I will be purchasing & recommending this product for sure!

These little miracles right here - I owe my life (or some part of it) to the makers of Liqui-Gels! I've always suffered from horrid migraines, been on medication after medication to control them. I finally gave up on prescription meds just because they weren't working. Advil is the ONLY product that will relieve my headaches fast enough before the onset of a full fledged migraine. I was lost before these came on the market, and I'd lose my mind if for some reason they disappeared!
I always recommend these to migraine sufferers!
