This mousse really holds your style for hours! I have a slight curl to my hair and often times I will use gel on my towel dried hair to bring out the curl. Having this mousse to test, I used it in place of my usual gel. I applied it to my hair and scrunched my hair to increase the curls. I found that it held a curl in my hair all day long.
I really liked the smell of this mousse. To me it reminded me of the scent of apples. It was a very fresh and fruity scent. I did have some trouble depressing the nozzle to dispense the product. I couldn't just use my index finger to press down on the nozzle, very little product came out this way. I had to use the palm of my hand and apply a lot of pressure. Maybe it was just my can that had this issue. Nonetheless, it did take a lot of effort to get the mousse out of the can!
At the end of the day my hair still looked great and my hair looked curlier than if I just used my gel. I didn't find the mousse added a huge amount of volume as I would expect from a volumizing product. But that's ok, my hair still looked great.
When I went to comb out my hair I could tell the mousse had a really firm hold. I struggled a bit to comb out my hair and lost a number of hairs in the process! Overall, I enjoyed this mousse and will probably use it in place of my usual hair gel to achieve and hold the curly look I want. #gotitfree

This hairspray definitely has a firm hold! Because the hold is so firm it helps to volumize the hair and hold volume. I use hairspray on a daily basis on my bangs. A few times a week I will use my flat iron as a curling iron to add a little flip to my bangs and keep them out of my eyes. Some hairsprays seem to leave a white residue in my hair after using the flat iron but I was pleasantly surprised to see that this hairspray did not leave any residue at all.
I really enjoyed this smell of this product. It smelled light, fresh and fruity to me. A much better scent than those chemical smelling hairsprays.
As soon as you spray this hairspray on your hair it provides a firm hold. Even though the hold was very firm, it stilled looked natural. As the day wears on, the hold loosens up somewhat but that is to be expected. One day I used this hairspray it was rainy and windy and my hair style still held up.
Overall, I loved this hairspray and would continue to use it and recommend it to others to try. #gotitfree

Great cleaner with the power of bleach! I used this cleaner on my kitchen sinks and it really left them sparkling clean. I like the added power of bleach especially when cleaning sinks as it will disinfect at the same time. There were a few stains in the sink that the cleaner didn't remove but overall it did a wonderful job.
This cleaner was either missing or made without a nozzle tip: the tip that would say “stop” or show a symbol of a spray. The other spray Vim products I have used have this nozzle tip but this product did not. As a result, the spray was weak and came out in a stream. The cleaning power of the product was not affected but just the method the product was delivered. Again, I'm not sure if mine was just missing this tip or if it is made without it. Either way, it made cleaning not quite as easy.
Overall, this is a product I would continue to use for its disinfecting properties and ease of removing dirt and grim. #gotitfree

This lotion certainly does a great job at keeping my skin hydrated and moisturized for hours. This lotion has a delicate fruity scent with a hint of sweetness. I love sweet and fruity scents so the scent was a real win for me. The body lotion comes in a tub but I would prefer to see it in a tube as it would be easier to store, apply and more readily portable. The packaging however does not affect the effectiveness of the product.
The lotion is a great consistency. It is classified as a lotion and I would say this lotion is a little thicker than other lotions I've used. It does however spread very easily on the skin and absorbs fairly quickly. I did find this lotion takes a few minutes to absorb into the skin and my skin felt just slightly tacky/sticky minutes after application. My hands felt a bit greasy and I needed to wash them after applying lotion to my body. That said, this lotion is still great and keeps my skin hydrated for an entire day.
Overall, this is a lotion worth trying. If you have oilier skin, this product may be too greasy for you but dry skin types will benefit most from this lotion. For me, it would be best used in the winter when my skin is dryer.
I receive this product free of charge for review purposes. #gotitfree

This body wash is amazing! I use body wash on a daily basis so I have used my share of body washes and this one rates as one of my favourites. First off, I love the flip cap that is easy to flip open. Some body washes leave you struggling with wet hands to get it open but not this one.
I love the scent of this body wash. It is a fruity and sweet scent that is light and delicate. My favourite aspect of this body wash is how well it lathers. The product itself is more of a gel than a cream. It is a great consistency-not too thin or too thick. I found that a little bit goes a long way. The lather was thick and rich. The body wash rinses cleanly from the skin as well with no lingering residue.
After using this body wash, my skin felt soft and moisturized. Although this product is pricey and more than I would usually spend for a body wash, with a sale and coupon, this is a treat that I would indulge in. Overall, I recommend this product 100% to others to try.

These wipes really work to clean and disinfect just about any surface. These wipes are the perfect moistness, they are not too dry nor are they dripping wet. They have an ocean fresh scent to them which makes them smell less like a cleaning product. The scent is fresh and clean.
I love the packaging with the resealable closure. This will ensure the product stays moist. The closure provides a tight seal unlike some products with this type of closure.
I used this product on multiple surfaces in my home. They were the perfect disinfecting product for cleaning commonly used surfaces like door knobs, light switches, telephones and remotes. At the time a household member had cold/flu symptoms and I cleaned the commonly used surfaces/items to prevent the spread of germs. I also found this product beautifully cleans and shines up faucets.
Overall, this product is perfect for quick cleaning and disinfecting jobs. I would definitely recommend this product to others and continue using it myself. #gotitfree

I love how well this product cleans and love that it is anti-bacterial and will kill 99.9% of bacteria. I used this spray on the sink and toilet of our small bathroom. It did a really good job on the sink and toilet removing dirt quickly and easily.
The trigger spray is powerful, more so than other brands of cleaners I've tried. This cleaner has a pleasant smell and to me reminds me of the scent of lemons. On the spray nozzle the very faint words of “stop” and a symbol for spray are present. If you didn't look hard enough or at the right angle, this word/symbol would be missed. I would like to see the word/symbol in black so it is bold and stands out.
I also used this cleaner on the hood of our oven which was covered in a greasy residue. I was really impressed by how effectively this cleaner removed the grime. I did have to make a couple passes over the grime but both times required minimal scrubbing and the hood probably hasn't been cleaned in well over a year!
Overall, this is a great multi-purpose cleaner that I would highly recommend to others. #gotitfree

This product makes my bathroom sparkle and shine! I used this bathroom spray on my sink, tub and toilet. First off I noticed how powerful the trigger was resulting in a powerful spray to whatever surface I used it on. I would have liked to see the words “Off” and “On” on the trigger as it just makes it easier to identify whether the spray is off or on. After using this product I noticed in very faint letters the word “stop” and a symbol for spray. They are very hard to see and would be much more effective in bold black print.
For my bathtub, I sprayed and let it sit on the tub for a few minutes before cleaning. It basically just needed a wipe down after that. I have hard water in my house and that really affects the tub and sink. It leaves a yellow stain where the water hits the tub or sink. While this spray lightened up the yellow stain, it didn't remove it completely. I needed to use my usual hard water stain remover product.
After using this bathroom spray, my tub and sink looked so good. They were clean and shined. This is definitely a product I would continue to use even though it couldn't remove hard water stains. I didn't really expect it to but was surprised that it lightened the stains up considerably. #gotitfree

This deep conditioner is thick and creamy and spreads easily on the hair. It has a pleasant fragrance that reminds me of a floral perfume. When I put the conditioner on my wet hair, I was able to run my fingers through my below shoulder length hair. My hair was soft and less tangled than usual.
After towel drying my hair, I used my usual pick comb to comb through my hair. My hair was much less tangled than usual and the comb went through my hair relatively easily. After combing my wet hair, I usually have a number of loose hairs on my comb. This time I only had about one hair! Amazing!
I must say this conditioner lives up to its claim of leaving hair touchably smooth and nourished after one use. I would also say I had less breakage using this deep conditioner too. Although this is a weekly treatment, I would be tempted to use it every day.
Overall, I loved this deep conditioner. The product comes in a tub with a screw off top. I would find this product easier to use in the shower if it came in a tube format. Nonetheless, it is the product inside that counts and it works regardless of the packaging.

I love the keratin line of TRESemme products and this heat protection spray is no exception. First off, I love the smell of this product. I think that is the feature I appreciate most about this spray. The scent lingers in my hair long after it has been sprayed and dried.
I use this spray on dry hair just prior to flat ironing my hair. I think it helps to protect the hair from the high heat and also offers extra smoothing of the hair. I still have to pass my flat iron a couple of times down the hair but I think this product helps to maintain the flat ironed look.
Overall, I enjoy using this product and would recommend it to others who flat iron their hair to give it a try.
