I received a 4ml sample to try for free in exchange for my honest review.
To be honest, I would have wished to be able to use it at least for a week to see how my face reacts to it properly, but was not able due to the sample size...
When I tried it, honestly it felt a bit weird while washing my face, but it left my skin feeling quite silky afterwards. The smell is very mild.

I received this Vitamin C Face Serum with Salicylic Acid + Niacinamide by Garnier from Butterfly for free in exchange for an honest review.
It's not greasy, absorbs into the skin nicely and is easy to apply. The smell is nice too.
After a week of use I did not notice a big improvement to my skin.

Breyers Creamery Style Natural Vanilla Frozen Dessert
Great vanilla ice cream! Rich and creamy, tastes like real vanilla and not something artificial. Delicious by itself or in a milkshake. Also great with brownies or apple pie.

Breyers Canadian Desserts Nanaimo Bar
Really great new flavor! Ice cream is light, but very flavorful. Definitely tastes like a nanaimo bar, just not as sweet (which is great). Can't wait to try other flavors from Canadian Desserts line.

COVERGIRL Clean Fresh Weightless Water Cream™
I liked this cream. It feels light and hydrating on the skin, doesn't leave it oily at all. I also really loved the smell, so fresh and not too strong.

So i'm really torn about this one. I recieved a whole bunch of free samples, so I can't comment on the price. The effectiveness was reasonably good for such a quick dissolving product (about 10 minutes), but of course, it doesn't do as effective a job as Crest White Strips, but comprable nonetheless.
The worst part is the "dissolving" factor. In the instructions it is written that once the strip reacts with your saliva, the bleach oxiginates and becomes safe to swallow. I hate the idea of swallowing bleach period. With regular strips you can manage not to swallow the bleach, but in order for these strips to dissolve properly you will have to. Otherwise you're stuck with a goopy mess stuck to your teeth.
Altogether...meh.

My friend introduced me to Yves Rocher products in Spain, and I have been hooked ever since. This body wash is so luxurious and creamy, leaving my skin nice and soft, and smelling like frech coconut. There is nothing saccharin about the fragrance either, its completely warm and subtle. I adore this product. In fact, I have the whole line of Silky Coconut Body Was, Lotion, and Eau de Toilette. Plus, when you buy from Yves Rocher online, they give you tons of free gifts and discounts. -

Honestly, these were the worst flip flops I ever bought. I don't care how cheap they are, the stiff plastic will tear your skin. I got the worst blisters between my toes from these terrible pieces of work. Just pay the extra ten bucks and get Havaianas. They are a dream.
Also, did anyone notice how ever so slightly "off" their colours are. The gold is just a smidge too bronzed, the white, a bit too bleached, etc, etc...

So I purchased this product as a third step in my Clinique face-cleansing routine. My skin is ultra-sensitive and loves to react by breaking out, so my wash and toner are for sensitive skin, and my lotion (recommended by Clinique associates) is from the new Acne line.
The first few times I used the product, I applied all over my face as I would normally do with any other moisturizer. Big mistake!!1 The lotion caused a terrible reaction on my skin making it look like I had a sunburn! Plus, my skin became very hot and itchy. After I stopped using the product my skin took about 2 weeks to flake off and return to normal.
Now, I realise this sounds like a terrible review, but alas it is not. After putting the lotion away for a few weeks, I decided to give it another whirl, but this time with caution. I applied the lotion with a Q-Tip to any break-out spots. Just a little touch, and nowhere else. Well, my skin didn't react at all, in fact the lotion worked wonders on my acne. I had deep cystic zits that came out and cleared up within three days. I then realised that my skin was naturally reacting to the level of Benzoyl Peroxide in the lotion. So I recommend using it as a spot treatment.

Sooo, I got a free, full sized sample of Pure Divine from P&G and I was really disappointed with the product. It smelled fabulous and foamed up amazingly well, but the ultra nourishing formula was a little to dramatic for my sensitive skin. It left a film on my skin and my back and chest erupted into a nasty acne-reaction. I'm sure the heavy fragrance didn't help either.
I really wanted to love the stuff, but I just cannot use it. Steer clear if you are ultra sensitive.
