Thank you ChickAdvisor for selecting me to test this product! First of all, I am currently microwave-less, so I just made sure the lid on the wax was tightly closed and dunked it in hot water for 5 minutes. The texture of the wax was perfect, and it went on super smoothly. And boy did it smell delicious!! The wax itself worked great and removed the smaller hair on my legs perfectly, leaving them super smooth. I loved that the wax wasn't super thick to begin with, and it was completely water soluble, which makes for easy cleaning. More strips would be great, as I ran out of them very quickly. I really liked the wax and thought it worked fantastically! I'll definitely buy it again and recommend it to others. -

I got a box of Quaker Harvest Crunch Quinoa Bars through the product review club. The bars were yummy, crunchy with a nice, thin layer of chocolate at the bottom. I love the idea of using Quinoa in a granola bar, and it definitely tastes great.
My only issue is with the amount of sugar in granola bars, and this one was no exception. I've shared a few of the bars with family members and they loved it too!
Though I'll keep a box on hand for when I need to grab breakfast and go, I'd feel it was a much healthier option if it didn't have all that sugar in it!

Thank you ChickAdvisor for giving me the chance to test this product! I usually only use manual toothbrushes, so I was super excited to try out the Oral-b pulsonic power toothbrush. Overall, the product was easy to use, and I found that my teeth felt much cleaner than they do with a manual toothbruth - kinda like the post-dentist visits. For a power toothbrush, it's fairly light, slim and so it's easy to grip and use. The charger base is also fairly small, so it doesn't take up too much room on my counter. As I've continued using it, I've noticed that my teeth do look a bit whiter, so it does seem to be removing more of the surface stains.
Here's my only complaint: I have fairly sensitive teeth and the toothbrush rattles them quite a bit. I find my teeth feel a bit sore after use. I don't have another power toothbrush to compare it to, but it also seems quite loud to me. Definitely not for use on mornings when you have a headache. I'll keep a manual toothbrush for those days, but will continue using the Oral-b pulsonic toothbrush otherwise.

Thank you ChickAdvisor for giving me the opportunity to try this product. My teeth have never been very bright and I was super excited to try this product.
I remember trying Crest Whitestrips quite a few years ago, and the strips were every had to keep on. Plus it was hard to find time every day to use the product. I love that you only have to use this product once for two hours and the box says the results last for up to 3 months. The box also comes with four treatments so you can have whiter teeth for a whole year.
Putting the strips on was fairly easy, and they stayed on pretty well. My teeth aren't very straight, so I had to make sure I got the strips into all the nooks properly. My teeth are sensitive so it was a little uncomfortable to have the strips on, but not painful. The results are noticable, but not as dramatic as I thought they would be. But I see enough of a difference that makes it worth it. Hopefully they'll whiten more when I try the treatment again in 3 months. I would definitely recommend it to my friends, in fact I picked up a box for my sister already!

I was selected to review Aquafina Plus Vitamins (Thanks!). I was super-excited to review this product - I gave up carbonated drinks a few years ago, and I'm always looking for healthier alternatives for a refreshing drink. I love Aquafina Plus , the Fuji Apple Pear was my favourite of the three flavours I recieved. My least favourite was the Strawberry Lemondade - it tasted a bit too sugary for my taste.
I liked the light flavour of the water, and like that it's got vitamins and is low in calories. It'll be a great thing to keep on hand at work. The water is sweetened with stevia, which I belive is a natural, and healthier sweetner. I did notice that the ingredients do have some artificial flavour, but I guess you can't have it all.
I would definitely recomend it to my friends!

I recieved the kit in dark brown and I loved it. The price is just right, no more paying over $40 for a touch up at a salon. And no more spending a ton of time on touching up roots - This was my first time doing my own hair, so it took me a bit of time to get the product on, but that'll get easier with practice. I was a bit worried that the colour wouldn't be seamless, but it blended in great. The only con is that the applicator it comes with isn't the easiest thing to use. I've already recomended the product to a friend, and will continue to use it myself. -

I was excited when I found the Physician's Formula Plump Potion lipstick. I wanted to try the lip gloss, but didn't because the review's said it was too sticky. I bought it in Pink Rose Potion. The packaging is good, and I like the container. The shade itself is really nice, and though it tingles, I haven't seen a difference in the size of my lips when I put it on. So considering the price, a nice colour isn't worth it, I'm sure I can find the shade in another brand. Definitely won't be purchasing this again. -

First of all, thank you to the PRC for sending me a sample of this product. I love mascaras, and was excited to be one of the reviewers for the Falsies. Here's the details:
The mascara comes in a bright pink tube and is easily spotted in your makeup bag. The brush has a nice curve and curls your lashes really well. However, because the brush is pretty big, I had a hard time using it in the corners. The mascara dries very quickly, and I didn't end up smudging it when I opened my eyes.
Did it look like I had fake lashes on? No. I found that the product helped the length, but did not do much for the volume. The lashes were separated well, and the over all effect was good, but it gave me more of a daytime look than a false lash, evening look. I even tried putting on multiple coats, but that didn't help.
With that said, I do really like the mascara and use it almost every day. I will most likely pick up another tube when this one is finished.

These things are amazing! When I first opened the package and saw how thin they were, I didn't think they would work. So the first time I tried them, I did so at home, just in case. I can't believe how absorbent they are. I have always hated pads, but don't feel comfortable with tampons. This is the first period where I don't feel like I'm walking around in a diaper, and it feels great.
The pads are the perfect size, wider at the back. They are super thin and super light, I almost forget I have them on. They stay dry, feel comfortable, they don't move away as you walk around. I highly recommend picking some up!

So I bought this roller because it was on sale - I don't have puffy eyes, but dark circles have always been an issue. I gave up on expensive creams a long time ago, but this roller was under $20 and I thought I would give it a try. Yes, its not a miracle worker, but I have noticed that my circles have lightened. I don't think it will remove the circles completely, but it has helped, and now it's easier to use make-up to disguise the darkness. The product needs to be used TWICE a day to be effective. The tube is great, however sometimes the liquid does not come right away and the roller pulls at my skin a bit... -
