It cleanses the skin and can remove makeup and I actually found it better at removing makeup than the wipes. I often use it to make sure I removed all makeup and give a quick cleanse before bed if I have removed my makeup and washed my face hours before.

While these do a great job of removing regular makeup, they have a hard time with my waterproof mascara and eyeliner. In fairness, most products do, but the cloths themselves were a bit rough when you try to scrub it off.
They are however great for removing non-waterproof makeup or on the go for changing your makeup and the remover in them did not irritate my skin at all nor leave it feeling really dry after use.

We only use one box with clay litter as one cat does not like the corn based litter we use for the other boxes. Since I often shop during the day when I do not have access to the car, it was great to be able to pick up a light weight product as I often leave it til the weekend and get all of our bulky products.
I have tried the major competitor's lightweight formula, so comparing it to that as they are roughly the same price, the competitor has a little less weight but the volume seems bigger as it fills the boxes better. That being said, Arm & Hammer clumps better which means a complete change less often. Both have a slightly soapy scent, similar to a powder laundry detergent. We usually buy unscented so were worried this may put him off the litterbox, but he doesn't seem to mind it.
I am not sure if I would use either long term, even with the added bonus of picking one up and carrying it more easily as they are both pricey at $12-14. The competitor has had multiple coupons which is why I have bought it when paying less ($8 after the coupon).
If you use cheap clay type litter, you will notice a difference in how long it lasts and the odour control, but I prefer the regular Arm & Hammer litter for price reasons. If you have an issue lugging heavy litter around, do not have a vehicle or need a lighter product for whatever reason, it does live up to the claims though.

This works really well but is on the higher end price-wise for a lip balm. It healed my chapped lips and the hemp scent is not as strong as in the rest of the line.
It could be a bit softer, sometimes it feels like you have to press quite hard to apply it. You do need to wait a while before applying lipstick as it does not absorb right away.

This is probably my favourite of the hemp line and the one I will ignore the not so sweet scent that the other lines have. You just need a tiny amount after washing your feet in warm water (after a shower or bath) and slip on some socks for soft feet - no expensive pedicures needed. -

My BF used it over the winter while working in the cold and noticed a huge difference in how his hands felt, they were not nearly as cracked and sore.

I love this hand cream for a fragrance free hand cream. I do have some fragranced ones I love but for fragrance free, this is one of the best I have tried.
A little really does go a long way, a dab is enough for both hands. Since it is not the cheapest for drug store, this is great as it makes the cost per use low.
It absorbs quickly and doesn't leave your hands greasy so you can get on with your day.

While this is cheaper than my regular dry shampoo and does a decent job, I would have used the can I received as part of the chickadvisor club if a friend had not taken it home.
I have really dark hair and did notice some residue from this. Not unusual for any dry shampoo and the reason I use one for dark hair.
It is definitely better than many of the other drug store ones, has a light but refreshing scent, and does not leave too much residue. While I will be sticking to my regular dry shampoo, I would recommend it to friends as the friend who borrowed and kept it, loves it.

This hairspray provides as soft hold, so it won't keep your hair exactly where you put it, but will generally keep a style. Personally, this is my preference as I usually use a little after straightening and save up-dos for the professionals who have their own hair spray.
While it is scented, it is not overly strong and did not leave my hair feeling crunchy or greasy like others.
