Cool Water is sexy and confident, and definitely cool. The ads for it definitely do it justice!
I usually go for something with a sweet note, but this scent is too good to pass up. It seems like a more masculine scent, which is kind of hot, but it's not like you're wearing your bf's cologne at all. This is a very different scent but definitely one to check out!
The bottle design is nice too - simple and blue, it isn't frilly or pretty but it definitely goes with the theme of this product.

My mum got this for me years ago, because she has always been a fan of Clinique products, and I was getting to the age where I could wear makeup and all of that stuff :)
We both loved it then, and still do. It can be worn by anyone, anywhere, and it is definitely a happy, bright, spirited scent. You can wear it day to day, and it's also good enough for special occasions.
It has elements of floral and citrus but neither is too strong - it's pretty and feminine, but in a modern way rather than cutesy.
Overall this is a perfume that I come back to again and again (I actually have a ton of sample sizes as well as a full size so I don't think I could ever run out :)

I had heard of this stuff before and got the perfect chance to try it out last week, when we started renovating the bathroom and the shower was out for a few days! The store (PharmaPlus) had the regular scent, rose scent and one for brunettes but I had to go for the tropical scent. Definitely glad I did, this stuff smells amazing, even my boyfriend likes it (and he isn't one to use cologne let alone a more sweet & tropical scent!)
It really refreshes your hair if you can't shampoo it that day-gives your hair a nice fragrance boost and the powder definitely works to soak up any residue (which you then brush out for lovely locks).
When I sprayed my bf's hair with it, the powder was noticeable until he brushed it out. I didn't notice it in my hair at all, and we both have lighter brown hair. With longer hair you should probably section the hair into a few big chunks to spray the roots properly (which is what I did the second time using this and it worked much better ).
The only thing to watch for when using this, is where you apply it - use it in a well ventilated area or at least crack a window, because it can seem overpowering once you start spraying it all over your hair.
I was surprised by the price - twice as much as the new Tresemme 'dry shampoo' products - but it works well so it's worth it to have on hand. I will definitely pick this up for camping trips as well since it's so easy to use!

I love this product!! I got a free sample with Therappe shampoo (the samples were huge too) , and they both work like magic. Usually I get drug store brand shampoo & conditioner and you can feel a huge difference between Nexxus and other brands.
This conditioner feels rich but it leaves your hair soft and weightless. It makes your hair feel silky all over, like you just had it trimmed.
The smell is so yummy but it fades once your hair is dry, so your hair smells fresh but not overpowering at all.
I definitely reccomend this to all, and can't wait to go get a full sized bottle of this stuff :)

Can't think of anything bad to say about this product!
I got a free sample from the Nexxus website, and when I say sample I mean they sent me like a travel size bottle, it was awesome :) *plus a same size bottle of Humectress conditioner and a coupon*
This is 'salon quality' stuff, my hair feels super soft from roots to tips, and looks nice and shiny.
The smell of this shampoo is so yummy, when you lather up it kind of smells like banana or something tropical. It also doesn't leave your hair smelling overly perfumed once it's dry though, just clean and fresh.
It's easy to run my fingers through my hair, and even though it seems so moisturizing my hair doesn't feel weighed down at all.
If you can, definitely try this line of products - they are amazing!

I was lucky and got some of the tampons, pads and liners as a free sample. Definitely something I will buy again, the packaging is actually kind of cute and not as boring as my other favourite brands. The tampons and pads themselves work very well, and are small which makes it easy to take them with you. They aren't very easy to conceal though :P just because of the bright packaging.
In each sample package there was a liner, a pad, two regular tampons plus a coupon for $1 off :)
Easy to use, works as well as/better than other brands and the packing spices things up a little bit (any little bit helps during that time of the month).

I have loved the smell of this stuff for years - my mum had a bottle when I was younger and I always wanted to try it!
It isn't good for protecting your skin really, but I suppose using this is better than nothing. It does give you a warm glow, especially because the product itself is an oil and has a nice sheen to it. The downside of that is the greasy residue all over. Because of that it usually goes on my legs and maybe my arms.
This is also kind of moisturizing for your skin, and also works well as a massage oil ;)
I do recommend this tanning oil, but I also gotta say that you should only go out in the sun like this in moderation, and make sure to wear at least SPF 30 the rest of the time!

Coppertone Oil Free Sunscreen Lotion SPF 45

I bought this to use on my face and body a few months ago, because it said it was oil-free, won't clog pores, is great under makeup (so it's good for your face) and 'it vanishes quickly without a residue'.
As far as all of that goes, this is a disappointing product! My boyfriend and I both feel that it is way too greasy. Everytime I put some on I have to wash my hands after, and it takes a few moments to scrub it all off.
It is still acceptable to use on my body (since I hate throwing things out, and this DOES protect my skin from burning), but I won't put it on my face - I don't find that I break out while using it, but it does leave a residue and makes you look ten times shinier.
This is just as good as any other regular sunscreen (if not worse), and I don't think I'd recommend it or buy it again.

Thank you SOOO much Product Review Club - I was really hoping to review this one! I'm going on a camping trip this month so sunscreen is a priority, and my current one isn't great for my face because it feels greasy.
UltraSheer Water-Light sunscreen is awesome. The texture is very thin and light, and it dries quickly. This product doesn't leave my 100% shine free because my face is oily to begin with, BUT it is very close! It feels weightless on your skin, and not greasy at all like most sunscreens.
The fragrance is really faint but nice - definitely better than the typical unscented 'sunscreen' smell.
I'm glad it is SPF 45 because I tend to not reapply sunscreen throughout the day (although that might change now because I love the texture of this).
Everything about this is great, I only wish they made bigger bottles :) This is definitely a keeper!

This conditioner is so lightweight, yet it conditions really well. My hair feels silky and soft, and looks nice and shiny.
It doesn't leave your hair smelling too perfumed, which can be good or bad ( I usually like my hair to smell like the shampoo I use but it can bother some people, and it can also conflict with your actual perfume).
I also love how you get a huge bottle for a good price (some of the bottles have pumps which is awesome). Definitely try this one out if you are looking for some natural ingredients, and a great conditioner at a great price!
