BAND-AID® Pro Heal Regular Bandages
The great quality you expect from Band-Aid, with the added benefit of a hyaluronic gel pad to help heal. A good size for a bandage and they stay on well.

I received the "Intense Berry" colour of this and it honestly is too dark for my medium toned skin. I think this would be gorgeous on darker skin. So aside from the colour which didn't work for me, here is what I liked about it:
- lots of pigment, you really only need a touch to spread around and give a glow,
- smooths easily,
- isn't sticky, actually it left my skin feeling extra silky and smooth,
- easy to apply with the wand,
- washes off cleanly (doesn't stain),
- beautiful packaging!

I was skeptical, but actually found these work wonders to stop the itching from mosquito bites. On me, it was about 15 minutes after applying the patch until the bite no longer felt itchy at all! I like them for my kids as they are safe and they keep the kids from scratching the bites until their skin is broken. Super easy to use and keep handy in a first aid kit or backpack. We take them hiking for when the bug spray just isn't enough to keep the mosquitos from biting. The amount of kid complaints about itchy bites is reduced 100% and that's a win right there! -

The bottle for the Rénergie H.C.F. Triple Eye Serum is like the cute little sister to the Lancome Rénergie H.C.F. Triple Serum. With a similar bottle design, the pump releases three streams of product that you mix and apply to the eye area. I think the idea is fun but don't love the opaque design. I'd prefer to be able to see how much is left. The serum mixes up easily and slides on smoothly. I did find it left my skin slightly sticky feeling. I've been using it at night, so that's not a huge issue, but if I were using it in the morning, that sticky feeling would drive me nuts all day. I don't notice a huge difference after a week's use, but that might not be enough time to really tell. I do find the scent pleasant. Overall it is a nice product but doesn't justify the hefty price tag. It feels like a drugstore brand rather than a luxury or higher end product.
I had the opportunity to try this eye cream for free from Butterly.

This gloss has a lovely sheer colour that works well with both my medium complexion and my teenage daughter's very fair skin. The light colour is a really pretty shade. I found the gloss was not as shiny as I expected for a "glass" lip, but did have a nice shine to it. The gloss goes on smoothly with good colour distribution. I did find it got sticky after a few hours, however a reapplication in a few hours is no trouble at all and it did not transfer to my white cup or show colour loss over that time. Overall a lovely gloss.

We tried this on a small scrape and on mosquito bites. As promised it is non-stinging and very effective in relieving the minor pain of a scrape and definitely the itch of insect bites. I am happy to have this in my medicine cabinet as my family gets a lot of insect bites (we are outdoors a lot). The only thing we don't love is the smell of it, which is a medicinal, almost cardboard smell. I think it is the camphor oil ingredient that we are smelling. -

I had the chance to try Urban Decay Face Bond Waterproof Foundation. With 40 shades to choose from, you are certain to find yours. I love a lot of things about this. The applicator is not only easy to use and very cute, but the design keeps it clean and is very controllable. It smooths on easily and evenly. This product contains 3% Niacinimide (vitamin B3), which has a lot of benefits for the skin: boosts hydration, calms redness, minimizes the appearance of pores, treats dark spots, and some research has shown topical Niacinimide can improve fine lines and wrinkles.

This is a lightly flavoured toothpaste, which is nice - not too strong for anyone in the family. The texture is a bit gooier than the paste we usually use but not unpleasant. It does not have fluoride which for some might be a benefit - for me, with kids, I'd rather have fluoride included for tooth enamel protection. -
hello super fresh mouthwash
While this was not unpleasant we didn't like the flavour very much. I think if you are a fan of spearmint you would be happy with it though! Big bottle for the price.
