Schmidt's Rose + Vanilla Natural Deodorant
Love the soft rose and vanilla scent, works great as a natural deodorant but I would need to reapply if wearing it outside the house. Nevertheless, the lovely scent is really pleasant and I'm planning on buying a full size version.

I was selected by Family Rated to try the new Becel unsalted plant-based bricks for free in exchange for my honest review.
I was excited when the coupon arrived and it was very easy to find the product in the store, so it was a great start! I used it right away to cook some mini potatoes and they were delicious! It is very easy to cut and melts fast but didn't burn quickly so I didn't need to keep adding more. The taste was delicious and very butter-like. I actually made the same potatoes a few days later with vegetable oil and received comments it tasted different and not as delicious as the first time, so that says a lot!
Vegetable oil definitely can't compare to the plant-based brick because it really is closer to butter in taste and texture. Definitely worth trying, and it's awesome for baking, no need to wait for butter to be room temperature to be soft, just substitute this 1:1 in the recipe.

This Tazo tea is great for summer! I find the fruity flavours to be refreshing cold or hot in the summer days/nights. Sometimes I add a little fresh lemon juice and sugar for a twist on a pink lemonade type of drink, but this is great on its own plain or with sugar/guava etc. Definitely a must try if you love fruity and citrusy notes! -

The Earl Grey Tazo tea is a warmer and more decadent version. It has warm notes of delicious vanilla that becomes almost silky if you add in a little milk and try to make a London fog version. It does have caffeine so might be best as a morning or afternoon drink, but I would avoid it as a late night drink. -

I had a chance to try the Tazo mint tea a few times while visiting a family member and I was surprised by the richness of the taste but also how smooth it was. I usually have to have sugar with any tea but I actually preferred this one with very minimal sugar, if any at all. Very refreshing and energizing, I just felt a lot more relaxed and refreshed. I also found it to be great for settling an upset stomach. And depending on how strong you like your tea, you can actually get more than 1 cup out of a single bag because it's just that concentrated! -

I received this product to try for free from ChickAdvisor and Neutrogena. I was very happy for the opportunity to try it out and provide a review.
Out of the Bright Boost line, this was the only product that didn't really work well with my skin as well as the others.
It smells amazing, and the texture is creamy but when I put it on my face the gel consistency really came through and would mainly sit on top of my skin and would not absorb well.
I did love that it has a reusable seal with a little tab to make removal and replacement very easy, it has the brightening effect as well but the formula just didn't absorb well for me. I tried using less or massaging it in with a roller but no luck.
Because of my personal experience I can't justify the high price. But, the rest of the line worked wonderfully so I would still recommend it be tried if you're looking for a gel moisturizer and hopefully it works really well for you!

I love this face polish. It smells great, has micro beads that are gentle on your skin but definitely work hard to polish off the dullness and reveal a brighter surface. Best of all, the formula isn't drying at all and it'll last you a while because you can use it sparingly and a couple times a week is enough.
Definitely recommend to at least try; it might become your new favourite!

I was pleasantly surprised that this is a sunscreen because it was very lightweight, smelled great, and didn't leave any white cast on my face. I usually have a hard time finding a good cream-like sunscreen for my face that absorbs and isn't too thick a formula. This definitely delivered with a side of boosting power, giving me a subtle glow.
Definitely recommend, especially if you have a hard time finding a good lightweight sunscreen for your face.

I absolutely love the illuminating serum; it smells wonderful, is lightweight (absorbs quickly with no sticky residue) and definitely brightens! You get an even glow but not like a highlighter glitter, just a soft boost making your face looked refreshed. Definitely recommend, and a little goes a long way so the price is justified in my books.

I received a free bottle of Batiste's Waterless Cleansing Foam (hibiscus root) to try, thanks to ChickAdvisor and Batiste! #GotItFree
I love the creamy texture of the foam - it's airy and light but feels very rich and nourishing at the same time, so a little actually goes a long way.
I used it to refresh my curls that are always in need of a good moisture boost and the smoothing effect was a nice bonus to keep the frizz in check.
It was very easy to use and I enjoy this version over dry shampoo. The scent, texture and results of this waterless cleansing foam are a winning combo for me!
