Loved the size of the tube, easy to open. The curved brush covered all my lashes quickly and easily. Lashes feel soft, moisturized, and plumped. Love the 3-in-1 formula (primer,serum,mascara). Excited to continue using as it states “thicker,longer,stronger lashes in 4 weeks”. The hyaluronic acid leaves lashes soft and conditioned. My only complaint is the regular formula doesn’t hold up to high humidity, but I will use the waterproof version in the summer. Definitely an anti-aging mascara! -

This weightless water cream was a little bit lighter in consistency than I expected. I found that while the hydration is good, it’s too light for winter in Canada. I love that it’s vegan, cruelty free and contains cactus water but disappointed with the fragrance. I’m grateful to try this product for free but feel it’s more geared to an oily/combination skin type. If a fragrance free version was available than I would definitely use it in the summer months. As the sample was a tiny package 1.5ml it’s hard to tell if indeed it would be 72 hours hydration as it barely was enough to cover my face and neck. -

I was pleasantly surprised at how quickly this Garnier Moroccan Aragan & Camellia shampoo bar lathered up and cleaned my hair. It left my hair very soft and shiny and rinsed out quickly. It definitely felt nourishing and I was happy to see that besides being 95% plant based, it doesn’t strip hair. I like that you don’t need to use a lot of the bar to get a lather, so besides being eco friendly, this shampoo bar will last. It’s in the shape of a large tear drop which makes it easy to hold onto and apply to your wet hair. The fragrance is so pretty! In fact I bought another bar to put in my linen closet recently. It comes in a cardboard recyclable box so you do need to find a small tray or container to allow it to dry. Once dry it was back to its original texture. This is a huge game changer that will allow me to get rid of bulky plastic shampoo bottles, as this little bar does a lot. I’m so glad I got to try it for free! -

Dove has come out with another great deodorant. I usually don’t buy tea tree products due to the strong scent. However, in this Dove deodorant the scent is very light. The deodorant goes on very smoothly, feels silky to touch, is invisible on the skin with no white marks. My underarms stayed dry all day with no stickiness. I love that Dove care by Plants is PETA approved, aluminum free and paraben free. This deodorant has a large knob at the bottom which makes it easy to turn up or down. Overall very glad to try this product for free. This product is for anyone who is allergic or sensitive to aluminum products, or just wants to avoid harsh chemicals on their skin. Dove does not disappoint with this product. -
It Cosmetics Your Skin But Better CC+ Illumination With SPF 50+
I bought this cream and noticed no sunscreen on the product listing, even though it states SPF 50 on the front. I returned it to sephora, as no expiry date (a must for sunscreen in Canada). Otherwise great product but want sunscreen.

I found the whiten and strengthen toothpaste good but not as much as the charcoal version by Arm and Hammer. I liked all of the features, and what was exempt, but found it tasted too much like baking soda. Other than the taste, it cleaned my teeth, left a clean feeling without burning my mouth or lips. My teeth were whiter and it helped with stains from coffee. Usually I am hesitant to use a whitening toothpaste but found this one gentle enough to use everyday, with the drying effect some other toothpastes have which I believe is related to SLS (which is exempt in this product). -
ARM & HAMMER™ Essentials Whiten + Activated Charcoal Fluoride-Free Toothpaste

I have been curious about charcoal containing toothpastes and trust the Arm and Hammer name. I found the combo - baking soda and characoal tasted surprisingly good, with a clean mint taste. I also liked what was exempt - artificial sweetners, preservatives, parabens or SLS. This toothpaste is non-drying, doesn't burn if you get it on your lips, and is easy to rinse without a gritty aftertaste. I did notice my teeth did whiten quickly, removing coffee stains on my enamel. As I have sensitive teeth, I was impressed with how gentle this product was! -

I loved the texture of this cream and how easily it absorbed into my skin. I first tried it twice a day but that was too much for my skin. Once I started using it at night, I noticed my face felt softer and smoother. However I didn't notice any difference with lines or wrinkles. But I will continue to use it every night and hopefully will see more improvement. The fragrance free option is great and my only wish was that it came in a pump container. -

I received this following a Chick Advisor event and I really, really love it. I have tried numerous brands that left a chalky, heavy feeling on my hair, but not CoLab dry shampoo. This product was amazing at removing oiliness and leaving my hair looking like it was just washed, with tons of body! I have blonde highlights so I didn't notice any residue. I haven't been able to find it at my local Shoppers which is disappointing. -

As with other neutrogena sunscreens, this product does not disappoint! It's lightweight, easy to apply, not sticky, blends quickly into your skin and gives excellent sunscreen coverage. I used this all over my face and body throughout the summer. The gel is very cooling and makes reapplying a breeze. A 10 out of 10. I have already purchased more as it's the perfect sunscreen. -
