The mask was a little odd for a sleeping mask because it never felt like it fully dried down. I feel like a lot of it got wiped off by my pillow during my sleep. That being said though, it was easy to use, I love the applicator! It also smells great and did leave my skin feeling hydrated the next day. I would probably use this mask during the day instead next time.

Aveeno Positively Radiant MaxGlow Peel-Off Mask

The mask goes on well, but you do have to put it on a little thicker than you think you need in order to be able to properly peel it off. It smells good and was easy to use.
I didn't notice immediate results. I did notice my skin was a little dry immediately after peeling the mask off but that was solved with some moisturizer. Later, i did notice my skin looked better, a little brighter and some dark spots were diminished.
I really enjoyed the mask.

Coming off of a particularly bad cold and a breakout from my monthly friend, my face was looking so dull and dry. I have dry skin to begin with, and was so happy I had this handy. The texture is nice and light but very moisturizing. It blends well into the skin and absorbs quickly. I like mixing it with my moisturizer, as it suggests, morning and night. I've been using it for about a week now, and my face does look noticeably dewier and glowier than with my moisturizer alone. It looks more hydrated and is super soft. Despite having fragrance (which btw smells good/ not overpowering) it
didn't break my skin out, or cause any burning or reactions that sometimes happen with my sensitive skin. I'm really enjoying it and would consider repurchasing again. #gotitfree

I recieved the cookies n cream ice cream complementary to try and I loved it. It doesn't have a weird taste that some dairy-free ice-creams can have, and it is so smooth and creamy. I ended up also buying the peanut butter flavour and despite not being a huge peanut butter fan, actually liked that one better. They are both good though and I would definitely recommend anyone try it. -

I received this primer free to try and really enjoyed using it as it felt moisturizing on the skin and mine is more on the dry side. I thought I liked the silicone feel from my smashbox primer, but I actually much prefer this. Once it's on, you can't really feel it on your face so your skin feels like it can breathe. I also liked its good ingredients and light fresh scent - nothing too strong. -

Mint green tea is my favourite kind of tea, and Lipton's version is on par with other similar brands that carry this flavour. The price is super affordable and a great value for the amount of tea that you get. My favourite part of this tea was the strong mint flavour, I like that they use both peppermint and spearmint leaves- very refreshing.
*I received this product complimentary for testing.

I love green tea and I love citrus so I figured this would be good. While it didn't end up tasting as strongly of orange as I would have liked, the smell is amazing, and you can still taste the soothing flavour of green tea so it is still worth it for the value. Although this particular flavour was not my favourite, there are other Lipton flavours I prefer.
I recieved this product complementary to try but all opinions are my own.

I was super excited about this mascara because of the hype for the Beauty Counter brand as an amazing line of natural and safer products. Unfortunately the mascara is not very good. I found that it dried quickly while applying it. I liked that the wand was long and thin for precise application but it actually made it flimsy. It's way too flexible so it bends while I'm trying to apply it and comb it through my lashes, making it not easily spreadable and clumpy. I have to comb them out with a separate wand. While the right idea is there with the better ingredients, they need to improve the quality of their mascara. Perhaps a change in the wand would make all the difference. But at $36 a pop I expected a whole lot more. I wouldn't even pay a dollar for it as it is right now. I will not be repurchasing unless some changes are made. -

First, lets talk about the size of this sucker.. It's huge! The value here is undeniable, it will last you a while. I tried the one for dry/ reactive skin and was happy with the results. It removes my waterproof mascara and liner without over-rubbing and leaves the rest of my face feeling clean without having to rinse. It also leaves it feeling moisturized so I don't have to use my facial moisturizer before bed. My skin on my face and especially near my eyes is prone to reactions from chemicals in products but this caused no dryness, flaking or irritation. I'm thankful I got to try this free from chickadvisor because I love it! I'll definitely be purchasing this again. -
Becel Canola and Sunflower Oil
My favourite cooking oil! It has a really good taste to it in food. Its not the cheapest but also not crazy expensive. It seems to be a healthier alternative to some other too, so thats a bonus.
