I love that myself and my family got to try this apple sauce for free to review. In our house, apple sauce is king! We eat it with every lunch, for many breakfasts and snacks, and sometimes as a dip for dinners. And we are huge fans of variety and trying new flavours and combinations. This mango peach version was a wonderful addition to our pantry. The free 6 pack we got barely lasted the day! The mango with the peach and the apple is literally the perfect combination. Not too sweet, not too tart. And I LOVE that it has additional fibre added. I have a bowel disorder so I am always looking for extra fibre and it can be hard to add sometimes. This makes it super easy. Another bonus, my super picky eater gobbles these cups down like their nothing and I know he's getting something healthy into his system. It feels good to feed these to him and my whole family and I definitely will continue to do so. -

My husband was given this product for free to review and it was his favourite out the 3 products we were given to try. He really loves the smell, and so do I! We also both found that it lasts forever on the skin. Every time he walks by me, I can tell if he's had a recent shower because of the scent. He is a huge fan of menthol in products, he loves anything that makes his skin cool and tingle so this one was a huge win on that front. It left his skin really nicely moisturized too, and he found it help relieved skin that chronically itches in the colder months. He has habitually used bar soap for years but is now a firm believer that this type of gel is the way to go. We will definitely keep purchasing this, it is totally worth the value and he's already recommending it to all his buddies! -

We received this product for free for my husband to review and he really wasn't a huge fan. While he found it generally effective, meaning that it controlled body odour and a measure of sweat even while playing sports and working out, he really does not enjoy the type of product it is. He found that in a stick form, its not exactly pleasant to apply and felt thick on the skin. It also left residue on all his clothing. He also found that it did not live up to the claim that it lasts for 48 hours. He would notice a lack of protection in about 18, max. He and I both agreed that the smell is really nice though but it would be preferred in the spray instead of the stick. It definitely isn't one he would choose to purchase in the future, nor would he recommend it, therefore he doesn't feel that it is worth the value -

This product was received for free to test and review. The first thing noticed was the design of the packaging. While still holding to the standard Dove Men+ look, the vibrant neon yellow definitely made this new range stand out. Next was the smell, which was extremely nice and probably my most favourite aspect of this product. Texture was pretty standard for a 2 in 1 but nice. I also found that is was quite effective. It not only cleaned my hair and scalp well, but it left a pleasant smell that seemed to last quite awhile into the day, even when I'm at my most active. I play a lot of sports and am always on the move so this is a huge deal for me. I think it holds well with its value and is definitely something I would recommend to others. -

Now, I love me some good peel off masks so I can't even tell you guys how excited I was to try this product for free to review. And for what it is, a peel off, it does its job. Its smells ok, its kind of sticky and it dries down in a reasonable time. And it definitely peels off whatever is stuck to my face. Dry skin, stubborn makeup, a lot of peach fuzz! But that is about it. I didn't see any brightening or glow to my skin. It did feel a bit smoother but that is really the only physical change I noticed. And the amount of product I needed to use to cover my face in relation to just how much is in the bottle is kind of ridiculous. I suppose it isn't something you are meant to use too often but still, for what you have to pay for it, there should be more product. The value is just a bit skewed. Its probably not something I would recommend just for that reason alone -

I got the chance to try this product for free and I will honestly admit, at first I was skeptical. It makes a lot of claims, from being mess free to replenishing the moisture lost over the day in my face while I slept, to helping improve tone and texture. I was super surprised to find that it lived up to a lot of those claims. Obviously the first thing I noted was the applicator attached directly to the bottle. It is actually genius! I've noticed how popular those silicone applicators have been lately and Aveeno was super smart incorporating that into the bottle itself. No one likes messy, mask covered hands. This certainly takes the problem away. The only drawback is that the applicator is a bit too stiff to put the product on certain areas where there are a lot of curves or angles. The product itself has that same, floral scent, which I enjoy but could be a bit off putting to some who aren't into scented products. It feels really nice on the skin, not heavy or overly sticky. And I didn't find it left a residue on my pillow by morning. My skin definitely felt moisturized within about a week of use. I did not really notice any change in tone and texture though. Over all, it was an enjoyable product to use and probably worth its value -

I received this product free to test and it was a super lovely experience using it. First thig about it is, esthetically, it is in such a well designed bottle. I love that it is in glass, making it feel like a luxurious product and also giving me confidence that the product wont degrade quickly. The next thing I noticed is the smell. For myself, I completely enjoy the floral hit you get when opening the bottle. For those that prefer more subtler scents, it might be a tab bit too much. The texture, at first, reminded me of a couple primers I've tried in the past, but only until it soaks into the skin, which happens actually quite fast. The feeling it leaves on the skin is so soft and silky and kind of cooling. I did find that my skin had a lit from within kind of glow after using it every day for a couple weeks. For that, I would definitely recommend and say its a good value. My one and only negative I have is that I found, when put under makeup, it made my already tricky oily T zone even more slick, therefore making my makeup degrade in that area faster. The easiest fix for this was just to apply it at night or on days where my face was going naked. -

This shampoo + body wash is just awesome! I love the pump, it makes things super easy and I love, love, love that it comes out as a foam! There is just something about this texture that makes the little one enjoy being cleaned so much. Bath time became so much more fun! The chamomile verbena scent is light and not chemical smelling at all which is really nice. It leaves a really nice light scent on the skin too, which is really pleasant. It didn't irritate the skin at all either. It is a little pricey but it is a good sized bottle which will definitely last for a long while. The very best part is how chocked full of natural ingredients are in this. Definitely gives me some piece of mind putting it on my little one. Would definitely buy again #gotitfree -

This could just be a sensitivity in my family so I don't really want to totally disregard this product for everyone, but we found that there was something that stung the skin if it was in any way chaffed or irritated. Maybe I just didn't use this properly. My little one gets extremely dry skin in the winter, especially on the bottom and where things bend, like behind the knees and elbows. I thought with all these natural ingredients, this lotion would be ideal for this problem. As soon as it touched those irritated spots though, the discomfort was very obvious. It didn't make anything physically worse, it was just not an enjoyable experience. I decided to try this on myself just to see how it would feel to me. After I shave my legs, they can get dry and irritated with the cold temps. So I put this on my legs after shaving and drying and there was a definite sting and burn. I suppose not the cream to use in these circumstances but I was hoping it could be. Kind of disappointed about that. #gotitfree -

This is a product I was super excited to test and review for free through FamilyRated. I go through a tonne of wipes on a monthly basis and I am super picky when it comes to what is best for my family. I almost always go with the natural kinds, regardless of brand. The less chemicals on the skin, the better. Which made me fall in love with the ingredient list in these Babyganics wipes! Avocado in a wipe - that's just amazing! I love that while they do have a slight scent, it is not an overpowering chemical one. It's light and natural and doesn't linger overlong on the skin. There was no irritations, it was super effective in cleaning up even the toughest messes and, this is my favourite part, the wipes are super strong. The one thing I've noticed with wipes from a particular big name brand is that everything I go to use them, they seems to pull apart in my fingers as I'm wiping with them. That's no fun for me or for my little ones poor bottom. This was a non-issue with the Babyganics one! Only drawback I found was that they are a touch pricey but that is to be expected with natural products, especially when the quality is this good. I would definitely buy again. #gotitfree -
