I received my Dove Original Beauty Cream Bar approximately 2 weeks ago, and immediately fell in love with the trademark Dove clean scent. At first I thought maybe it was intended for just facial cleansing – but then I figured if it was gentle enough for my face, it would be great for my whole body too. Right from my first experience with this bar, I could tell the difference between it and the body washes I’d been using. Even one that was intended for babies left my skin feeling tight and dry, while the Dove Original Beauty Cream Bar left my skin feeling smooth and soft – with a clean smell. I didn’t even feel the need to moisturize afterwards like I’ve always had to do with other products.
Would I recommend this product? In a heartbeat, YES!! And for those who have sensitivities to fragrance, they also have a fragrance-free bar as well. I will definitely be buying the original though – it leaves me feeling fresh and softly scented from my shower, and not heavily perfumed like other products can do.
Thank you Chick Advisor for introducing this product to me, and allowing me a chance to review it. Dove has created a wonderful product here, and it should be part of every woman’s (and man’s!) daily cleansing routine.

I would definitely recommend these, and would purchase it when my package runs out.

I got my package of Cottonelle the other day, but being the prudent consumer, I had to of course wait until I needed to replace a roll in my bathroom before opening the package!
My first impression of Cottonelle Ultra was that it wasn't as soft as Charmin; it had more texture to it though, which can be a good thing in bathroom tissue. I have used nothing but Charmin for several years now, so I was very interested in trying the competition without having to spend money at risk of being disappointed with the product. Cottonelle Ultra is definitely a satisfactory alternate to Charmin, and as I am quite motivated by sales and bargains (as long as I still receive the quality I hold as standard), I would definitely reach for it if it were on sale! Congratulations Cottonelle, in swaying this diehard Charmin fan into using something different. I am very grateful to have been provided the opportunity to compare, and would certainly recommend Cottonelle Ultra to others.

Though skeptical at first, I was actually impressed with the colour matching of Root Rescue. My hair colour is a bright, medium coppery salon red, and another brand's root touch up in light auburn made my roots dark and brown. Root Rescue by L'Oreal Paris matches much more closely to the colour on the box - it actually comes out a light-ish auburn, and blends in a lot better with my hair colour. Grey coverage isn't bad - it's not 100% for me, but this product is definitely a more than satisfactory way of dealing with unsightly roots in between those wonderful but all too expensive salon visits. I will definitely buy this product when my roots reappear. Thank you! -

I was very skeptical of this product. My hair is red (natural colour is dark auburn but my roots come in dark and/or grey), and I get it done professionally (after years of doing it myself without ever getting the colour I really wanted). I had actually bought it over a year ago, and finally tried it almost exactly a year to the date that I bought it (the receipt was still in the bag). I was afraid that it would be too obvious or be too different a colour, or that it would somehow mess up the beautiful red that the hairdresser gives me (or make it harder to maintain my red).
Well - was I pleasantly surprised!!!!! I used this product and was SO impressed with the results!! What a GREAT way of tiding you over until the next visit to the hairdresser. It even covers the grey!! We all know it's not cheap to go there; if I could achieve the same colour at home, I would. But now I can make my visits to the hair salon a little less often.
You will NOT be disappointed by this product... so try it if you've been considering it!

This is the most amazing, fast acting conditioner I've ever used. It is the ONLY conditioner that combats against static, and believe me it gets really dry and static-y indoors during the winters here (Ontario Canada). Name a conditioner, and I've probably tried it - expensive and cheap. I would seriously spend a lot more money on this product if it were more expensive; however I am very grateful that it is so affordably priced.
I would recommend this to anyone, long hair or short (mine is currently medium length, but I've used it on longer and drier hair as well). I have yet to be disappointed by an Aussie product. Well done, Aussie!!

I had originally bought this product (can't remember which colour now) about a year ago, and was disappointed in it. The stain didn't stay, and invariably came off whenever I'd apply a clear lip gloss over top. A month or so ago, a friend was using one and said she loved it - it stayed on her lips practically all day, and she had no problems with applying lip gloss over it - the colour stayed put. So... I decided to give the product another try, and purchased it in #405 Berry Smooch from Shoppers Drug Mart for $9.
I've had varying degrees of success with this product. While it seems to stay put a bit longer than before - maybe because I'm showing more patience in allowing it to fully dry before licking my lips or applying gloss/balm - I still find it's not really delivering on my expectations. I also have the same experience as one of the other reviewers - it seems to wear off in the middle of my lips first, which then makes it look that I went especially crazy with a lip liner.
The pros: I love the colour, the ease of application, and the smell is okay (although I prefer fragrance-free - why spend money on nice perfume when all you can smell is your lip colour??).
The cons: Doesn't deliver on my expectations; doesn't last more than 3 hours; more expensive than it really deserves to be.
Would I recommend it? Yes, but I would inform the person I was recommending it to that they may need to adjust their expectations. 'Lasting all day' clearly means different things to different people.

Love the colours in this particular quad - I chose Petals of Promise. The colours go on smoothly, with little flaking/clean up required. My only criticism is that they provided only one applicator brush for 4 colours. Sure, a lot of people buy additional, better quality makeup brushes, but they should still provide at least two applicators, so that you don't have to mix colours on one side of the brush. -

I LOVE this product!!! For so long I've been searching for a cream that absorbs into my skin, yet still gives me a glow. Most creams seem to sit on the surface of my skin, but this one sinks right in. I love the light scent as well - many facial creams have an overpowering smell. It appears to be ideal for women even with sensitive skin (like mine) - no itching, redness or reaction to the ingredients at all!
The one I tried is for normal/combination skin, but you can also get it for dry skin as well.
