I was lucky enough to try this product in the colour Dark Mahogany for free #gotitfree. I have alot of grey roots and usually get my hair dyed every 4 to 6 weeks to manage. I really appreciate any product that can extend my visits to my hair stylist and this product can help.
It's worth a try. It's much easier to use and more effective than colour touch up crayons #tryRootRetoucher #CreateYourStyle
Pros:
- the spray tip is slim so it allows for more precise allocation than I expected
- the colour deposit is pretty good
- it matches my salon dyed hair (I tested out dark mahogany about a month after my last dye)
- washes off my skin and white bathroom counter (although I cleaned both immediately to avoid staining)
- shampoos out easily
- lasts through workouts
- doesn't leave my roots oily or chalky
- it didn't burn or irritate my scalp
Cons:
- it has a smell similar to a strong hair spray
- it also sprays onto your scalp so close up people will see your coloured scalp (suggest you don't wear your hair back or in style that allows for lots of parts to be seen like multiple braids)
- it makes a mess - cover your clothes with a towel or shirt you don't mind messing up; clean skin and counters right away to be safe
- hard to spray close to your forehead (suggest getting one of those plastic shields that hair stylists use or something that protects you from getting spray all over your forehead, into your eyes or use your hand as a shield)
- I have alot of grey so I expect I would go through the bottle quite quickly if using every day or two (120 g bottle)

I was on the hunt for an effective under eye moisturizer that brightened the area and helped get rid of dry patches. I had tried the regular All About Eyes I had received as a sample but found it ineffective. One day I was at a clinique counter and tried out the rich formulation. I bought it on the spot. Its super creamy and definitely does the job. It applied nicely and is a good base before applying primer, colour corrector and concealer. It helps depuff my circles and I've even seen the darkness decrease. It is pricy but you really only need a tiny bit. I've had it for 3 months and have most of the product left (use it 1 to 2 times daily). It is unscented and doesnt irritate my skin. -

I used clinique in my teens and early 20s but took a break for a few years. I was reunited with it last year in my mid 30s and fell in love again. The lotion with the plus at the end is amazing for my dry skin especially during a Canadian winter. It eliminated the flaky patches and gives me a nice healthy glow. Its perfect to use on its own or under a primer and makeup. Its not scented and doesn't cause me to break out. -
Burberry Weekend for Women Eau de Parfum
Love the scent of this perfume. I'm pretty sensitive to smells and typically do not like strong perfumes but this one broke that rule for me. Good staying power and my husband loves it too! Also pretty affordable.

I received this product for free and was very pleasantly surprised. I don't usually enjoy lemon but this protein bar tasted as good as the full sugar varieties. It has a nice white yogurt kind of coating and a pleasing lemon taste with what seem to be little pieces of lemon. I enjoyed it and would buy it again if it was totally sugar free. -
PowerBar ProteinPlus Reduced Sugar Creamy Chocolate Peanut Butter

This bar tasted pretty good if not as good as its full sugar counterparts and that is coming from my hubby who doesn't typically enjoy anything low sugar or sugar free. It does the job and keeps you full for a decent amount of time.
I received this product for free so I can't comment on the price point. If the price was right I would buy them for my husband. I tend to stay away from sugar so it's not the bar for me.

My husband was one of the individuals selected to try out this product. He loved the smell (not overpowering and refreshing). The downside was that the product was a thick and hard wax. It was quite difficult to get any product on his finger tips even after using wet hands, compared to other waxes. Once he managed to get product onto his hands, it didn't seem to break down or distribute evenly on his hands which made it awkward to apply to his hair. It applied in chunks and didn't give the desired hold. He wouldn't buy this product in the future. -
