I was provided this product complimentary in exchange for my review from CA. The strawberry scent of this lip balm was overpowering for me and made me a bit nauseous to use. Even so, I did use it a handful of times, in order to be able to test and review the product. I liked the initial feel of the balm on my lips - it was light and smooth, although it did absolutely nothing to moisturize. It sat on top of my lips rather than absorbing and once dried out, left my lips peeling and cracking.
The packing is super cute and is easy to hold. The balm portion itself is quite large and once flattened a bit can be a bit annoying to get on without touching your face. Unfortunately my experience using this balm left me quite unsatisfied.

I appreciated receiving this product complimentary in exchange for my review, however, it really was not a positive experience for me. The scent of this particular lip balm was so strong, it made me a bit nauseous to use. I did try this a handful of times anyway so I could leave a review. The texture of the balm is nice, but i felt as though it did nothing to moisturize. Rather than my lips absorbing it, it felt like it just sat on my lips. It did not last long and I had to reapply every 20-30 minutes. I also was disappointed that my lips started cracking and peeling after using this. I love the packaging and it is easy to apply, but the effectiveness just was a miss for me on this one. -

This cleanses off makeup or general oil and dirt from your face quite well. You only need a little bit and it foams to be usable on your entire face. I have combination skin, which can sometimes be sensitive. Due to this, I normally avoid foaming cleansers, as they can be drying, which this one was. It cleaned well, but did not live up to claims of balancing my skin. There is a slight scent, but it wasn't bothering. Even though the ingredient list is minimal, there are some I would rather do without, which would also prevent me from purchasing this in the future. If you're not concerned with ingredients and have normal to oily - non sensitive skin, this might work well for you. -

These bottles both contain seals, yet all you can smell is the pleasant aroma of coconut...and not the fake kind either. I love that the packaging is simple - the colours compliment well. The shampoo didn't lather very well until I went to shampoo a second time and by itself, it felt as it was a bit drying to my hair. The conditioner is the real winner here. You only need a little bit to work into your hair, which leaves it with a silky, shiny and soft finish. My hair is often quite tangled, and it was less noticeable using this. If I were to use this product again, it would probably only be the conditioner, although I'm not fond of some of the ingredients.
I was excited at first to see that the bottles contained the Leaping Bunny logo, meaning they were cruelty free. However, I can't find mention on the company's site, popular cruelty free brand lists, or the Leaping Bunny site itself, which makes me concerned they are not truly certified.

I love that this product is cruelty free AND vegan. This is one nail brand that I love! I've used corrector pens before, but this was was different because it contains a disposable tip; it also came with 3 extra tips. I'm absolutely terrible when it comes to painting my nails, especially with the opposite hand. This is great for cleaning up the skin around your nail and you can use it a few times before it needs replacing. It does say to extend the life of tips to wipe the polish off them, which I do as well - it works!
One thing to note is, you need to correct mistakes while they are wet to get the best use out of it, as it won't really remove polish once it dries. I'm happy to have this as I now I can look forward to my terrible paint jobs and know they can be fixed with ease.

These might not be the body wipes you were looking for, but they're the wipes you NEED! They are HUGE! I passed most of the pack along to my husband, but we both enjoyed using them while traveling - these are so perfect for trips, where showers or running water are not as accessible. They do a great job at removing dirt and film from your skin. Their thickness is decent and they leave you smelling fresh. The company is also hilarious. -

I was looking forward to this as it is organic and has decent natural ingredients, but I did not notice this making any difference to breakouts. I applied on clean skin as directions states (I had one spot) and it stung pretty bad. I kept trying it for about 3 days on the same spot and it didn't reduce or fade until I stopped using the spot treatment. I think there was just too much alcohol and witch hazel in the product for my skin, which can sometimes be sensitive. This is really pricey spot treatment, so to have no results, I'm quite disappointed. -

I enjoyed that this lotion was not greasy and was soothing to use on sunburned and areas with cracked skin. I didn't notice any reduction in scars, but it did a great job at calming skin in other ways. This works wonders for cuticles and doesn't sting if you have any small cuts or tears in the skin. The smell isn't anything super great, but it's also not bothering. One bottle can last you quite a while, because a little goes a long way! -

I received a complimentary bar in Peanut Power in exchange for my review, and it was the perfect peanut – fibre punch! It has 200 calories and 13g of Protein. I wasn’t expecting it to be covered in chocolate, but it was a nice balance with the peanuty flavour. Oh! And it is honey infused! YUM! It didn’t taste too sugary or artificial like other energy bars, digested with no problems, and it sustained hunger for a few hours. These are low on the Glycemic Index. Anything under 35 is considered to be quite low and this bar in particular sits at 27! According to their details, it is actually the lowest they have. The load is 5.4, if that interests you as well. I love supporting great Canadian products like this. -

These were quite the tasty snack! These are whole grain and contain a lot of fiber & protein, something I look for in these types of products. With that being said, not all of the protein in these Heartbar Oatmeal Squares are natural (instead there are multiple supplements), which is unfortunate. I would recommend these for a snack here and there, but they wouldn't be anything I would eat regularly because of the high amount of sugar from multiple sources - there's something like 5 of these on the ingredient list! They also contain soy, egg and milk, so this isn't for people with intolerance or allergies to those things. Thank you PinchMe for providing this product complimentary to try and review. -
