This is a bit tricky for me as I would definitely use it as a 'every time' addition to my white loads to keep them sparkling, but I was a little disappointed in its effect on dingy and stained whites that had been that way for a while. There was, at least, a noticeable effect as the whites were a tad brighter, but it didn't seem to do much for the stains.
I like that it comes with a little measuring scoop as it makes it really easy to use. I'll try soaking it next time and maybe I'll see better results, but I think this works better at keeping whites that way, rather than fixing an already stained and dull white item.
I #gotitfree from Chickadvisor to try it out!

I #gotitfree to try alongside my Nivea primer through Chickadvisor and I have to say that this is my second favourite micellar water, which is a pretty big compliment considering how many bad Micellar Water products I've tried.
It cleanses well and leaves the skin nice, like a micellar water should and doesn't have too much extra stuff in it (high content of micellar water). It removes makeup (other than waterproof) on par with my current brand of micellar water. The only way in which it falls short, is that my current brand has no extra ingredients (pure micellar water) and can be used on my lips and eyelids comfortably. When using this one, I would avoid lips or eyelids as it can get a little stingy, probably due to the extra ingredients.
I would definitely buy it again if my favourite brand was out of stock.

Maybe it's just my foundation, but I did not like this as a primer, at all. I applied my foundation both as normal and with this primer (giving it time to absorb) and with the primer it seemed to make the foundation cling to every flaw on my skin.
Despite this, there were some things I liked about this primer. I really like it as a moisturiser. It has a lovely fresh 'cream' smell that I enjoyed and absorbs quickly and easily. It left my skin nice and soft and worked just as well as my regular daily moisturiser. The smell is a little bit strong, but I have a pretty strong nose, so it will be a good strength for most people.

I was really disappointed with this. Even though I #gotitfree to try through Chickadvisor, I definitely preferred the other oxiclean products over this. I was excited to see that it could do soft fabric stains and hard surface stains, but when I made a paste to clean my grout I didn't see any difference, even after leaving it for 30 minutes (the max time recommended).
I also found it had kind of a bleach like smell. Not my favourite, I'd recommend other Oxiclean products over this one.

This stain remover works great if you spray it immediately, but what about old stains? Well even with those it's pretty good. I used it on an old chocolate stain on one of my fave shirts and while it didn't remove it entirely, it's faded to about 50 percent, so I think using it again will probably remove it all the way. Considering the stain is extremely old and many washes have done nothing to take it away, I'm pretty happy with that!
I really like that this spray is very easy to use, no complicated instructions or soaking in a tub of water required, just spray it on and leave it in the washing machine (with the spray on) for about 30 minutes and wash. Simple. It doesn't smell terrible either, but nice and fresh, so you aren't wrinkling your nose while using it.

These crackers are not for everyone, but while they're new to Canada they've been available in Mexico for a while, so they're pretty authentic. They're also great for those who are trying a healthier diet as unlike many diet and low calorie foods they aren't full of sugar or salt to make the taste better.
The downside of that is that if you're used to very junky processed food, these won't taste as good to you, but on the plus side they're a lot healthier. These go great with salsa or cream cheese, but you can definitely eat them dry if you're looking for a low calorie snack. They do taste a little burnt when eaten alone due to how they're baked.
Overall, they're a good option for a replacement for chips when you're trying to eat healthier, but the taste isn't for everyone.

Boost Just Protein is really useful for those who need a little extra protein in their diet, but don't like the taste of protein shakes or bars.
Where it really has a big benefit is the fact that you can barely taste it. I'm a super taster (more tastebuds than average) and I tried it in a chocolate milkshake. While the milkshake did taste a tiny bit different, the texture was unchanged and flavour-wise it was definitely a very minor taste and very bearable. Out of all the protein supplements I've tried this is definitely the best for those who are very picky about tastes or want to be able to add it to a variety of things (dishes or drinks). This would be perfect in your morning smoothie!
I would not recommend this to those with serious protein deficiencies (like me) simply because it's quite expensive for the amount you get. If you take the recommended amount per day (3 scoops), this will last you 10 days, meaning you'd have to buy 3 a month if you take it daily.
For that reason alone I would only recommend it for those who need a little extra protein or don't have to be careful with their money.
If you need something with no flavour to add protein to your diet, this definitely does the trick!

On my shorter hair, not only did this control my frizz, but gave me a really nice texture, so I would definitely recommend it for shorter hair as well. It also has a pretty faint scent, which I like as it doesn't interfere with my perfume.
The downside is that it does make hair a little crunchy, but not as much as other products I've used. If you prefer a more natural feel though, this might not be for you.
I also found the spray was a little too 'jet-like' and would prefer it if it was a wider, more mist style spray.

I've tried several frizz-ease products in the past and sometimes they work and sometimes they don't seem to agree with my hair type (Drier ends and prone to oil at the roots). However, both the shampoo and the conditioner
My hair is short right now, but naturally wavy and I do get quite bad frizz some days (especially with short hair it's particularly noticeable). After about two uses of this conditioner, I noticed a pretty big difference in my level of frizziness. It smells pretty nice, though strong, as well. Works great with the shampoo.
(Note: I used this with the matching shampoo).
SUMMARY
********************************************
Pros
+ Thick and easy to apply.
+ Smells pleasant and sweet.
+ Left hair noticeably less frizzy.
+ Didn't increase oiliness of my hair.
Cons
- Smell is quite strong.

I've tried several frizz-ease products in the past and sometimes they work and sometimes they don't seem to agree with my hair type (Drier ends and prone to oil at the roots), so I was happy that this one worked well with my hair!
Even though my hair is short at the moment, being naturally wavy, I do deal with a lot of frizz and often shampoos meant for straight hair can make that a real problem. With this shampoo, I didn't find my hair got greasy faster and definitely noticed less frizz than usual.
(Note: I used this with the matching conditioner).
Smell wise it has a perfumed sweet scent that might be overwhelming if you don't like it, but I found it generic and pleasant, so most shouldn't have any problems with it. I would definitely use this again!
SUMMARY
********************************************
Pros
+ Good lather.
+ Smells pleasant and sweet.
+ Left hair noticeably less frizzy.
+ Didn't increase oiliness of my hair.
Cons
- Smell is quite strong.
