Here are the products I've used up in July:

☑ Alberto VO5 Hot Oil Hair Treatment

I had higher hopes about this product... I guess plain old olive oil could do the job even better.

Repurchase? no

What I'm currently using to replace it: Alberto VO5 Deep Nourishing Moisture Intensive Mask 3 Minute Mask

 ☑ L'Oréal EverPure Moisture Conditioner (15 mL)

It did NOT prevent my hair color from fading.

Repurchase? no

What I'm currently using to replace it: Pantene Color Preserve Volume Hair Solutions Conditioner

 ☑ L'Oréal EverPure Moisture Shampoo (15 mL)

It did NOT prevent my hair color from fading.

Repurchase? no

What I'm currently using to replace it: Pantene Color Preserve Volume Hair Solutions Shampoo

☑ Baby Wipes Thick and Fluffy (75 wipes)

These come from the dollar store, so I didn't really expected them to be "thick and fluffy"... and they weren't. But I guess they do the job anyway, and I like the baby powder scent.

Repurchase? yes

What I'm currently using to replace it: -

☑ Bioré Steam Activated Cleanser (7 mL)

I'm a little disappointed as I haven't experienced anything special with this cleanser.

Repurchase? no

What I'm currently using to replace it: mark. That's Deep Purifying Cleanser with sugar maple/black willow bark

 ☑ Dove Ultimate Go Fresh Energizing Grapefruit & Lemongrass scent

It smells great and it does the job quite well.

Repurchase? yes

What I'm currently using to replace it: Secret Clinical Strength Light and Fresh scent (sample size 14g)

 ☑ Glamour Gal Shower Gel with the essence of roses, violets, lavender & musk

I have no idea where this shower gel comes from (it was a gift from my mother) but I would definitely not repurchase it. It is quite a normal shower gel, not to mention that I'm in love with my Caress Whipped Soufflé Body Wash =D

Repurchase? no

What I'm currently using to replace it: Caress Whipped Soufflé Body Wash

I'm going on vacations + Mail of the week (June 28 - July 2)

Just a quick note to let you know that I may be MIA from July 4th for about one week because I'm going to Wildwood for my vacations! I'm not sure if there's wi-fi available in the hotel room, but I will try to bring my boyfriend's laptop with me.

Mail of the week (June  28 - July 2):

Package from Meg's Makeup: I redeemed my hard-earned 250 points for the "Most Fab Gift" in April so I'm glad I finally got it. Here's what Meg included:

• eos Ultra Moisturizing Shave Cream Pomegranate Raspberry samples

  Package from Cellnique: I received an email from Selina asking me if I would like to become part of Cellnique's bloggers community and do products reviews on my blog. Selina kindly asked for my skin condition or concerns (mostly dry, little signs of aging, some scars and some pimples) and here is what I received:

• Cellnique Amino Collagen C Intense Set
• Cellnique Advanced Bio Renewal Serum
• Cellnique Vital Cellular Repair Emulsion

On a side note, I had to share the packaging with you because it was just too cute:

Cellnique is a earth friendly company so they don't use box to ship products.

Scene card: The Scene card is a reward program for movie lovers (which I'm so not). You basically get points for every movie you see at participating movie theaters, and those points get you cool stuff like free popcorn, free movies, and more. I'm not a fan of movie theaters but my boyfriend is, so I ordered the card more for him than for me. Click here to learn more about the program.

Atkins Starter Kit: I'm not sure what this is supposed to be, but I wanted to try those bars. The Starter Kit includes:

• Quick Start Guide
• Pocket Carb Counter
• 2 coupons for a free bar
• 2 coupons for $3 off their Advantage Bar and Shake Multipacks

This is so cool because I was in the need of a good face sunscreen, as I'm going to Wildwood (NJ) next week! I will post my review on my blog as well as on Chick Advisor, so stay tune!, NJ

 "Elephants Never Forget" campaign kit from Peta2: The pack includes stickers, pledge sheets and leaflets to help spread the world about how elephants are really treated in circus. If, like me, you love animals, you should definitely register on Peta2 and take charge, too!
