I had the opportunity to try PANOXYL OIL CONTROL MOISTURIZER. I’ve been using it every morning for the past few weeks. It’s labelled a lightweight daily moisturizer, with SPF 30. Because the moisturizer contains a mineral sunscreen, I had to really blend it into my skin so that I wasn’t leaving any white blotches. One thing I wasn’t prepared for, but that I liked, was that the moisturizer is a little gritty, like a light exfoliant. After use, I can definitely see the difference - my skin looks more matte and oil free. Because of the grittiness, I would rather this be a PM product instead of an AM.

I had the opportunity to try the PANOXYL ACNE WASH – 4% BENZOYL PEROXIDE CREAM. It is meant to be an everyday acne wash, that can be used on your face, chest and back. For me, it was a little too drying, especially around my hairline. I will only be using the acne wash during a breakout, and not as a preventative treatment daily.

I had the opportunity to try Blue Lizard Sensitive Sunscreen Lotion SPF 50. This is a mineral sunscreen for sensitive skin. I love that it's an SPF 50, plus it's water and sweat resistant. Because it's a thicker, mineral sunscreen, I have to really rub it in to my skin as not to leave any white patches. I don't mind the smell, as it doesn't smell like a typical sunblock that screams "I'm going to the beach". Making it good for daily use. I've been using the sunscreen on days where I‘ll be working outside more. So far so good. I'll continue use into sunnier weather and see how things go. -

I had the opportunity to try Tom’s of Maine Rose & Vanilla Deodorant 92g and I'm a big fan! This was my first time using a Tom's of Maine deodorant and my second time trying a natural deodorant. My first natural deodorant experience was not a pleasant one, but Tom's did not disappoint! First off, I was surprised by how much I love the Rose Vanilla scent - it's such a great combo! The deodorant glides on super smooth and lasts all day, keeping me feeling fresh, and legitimately dry. I did find that during times where I was really physically active, the odour protection didn't pull through as much as I had been hoping. I've continued to use the deodorant daily, and plan to purchase more in the future. :) -

I had the opportunity to try CLEAN RESERVE H2EAU Nectarine Petal. This rollerball perfume is a new must have! They've labelled the scent, Nectarine Petal, as part of the Fruity Musk family. I find it super light, a little sweet, and with a hint of citrus. I'm a fan of the scent, but wish that it was a bit stronger at times. The bonus with a rollerball though, is that it fits right in your purse for any additional perfume applications throughout the day. Bonus, it's a water based fragrance, so it's great for sensitive skin. I’ll be checking out the other scents, too! -

I had the opportunity to try NEUTROGENA® Hydro Boost Gel Cream as a free product to review. I love that this product is a gel cream! It’s super lightweight, easy to apply and blends effortlessly into my skin. The gel cream has a bit of a cooling effect and is also fragrance free, which I love! I've been using the gel cream every morning and have definitely noticed that my skin is more hydrated and that I look and feel refreshed. It's the perfect duo with the Hydro Boost Serum! I also love the packaging! Both products come in a beautiful bright blue, recyclable glass bottle. -

I had the opportunity to try Neutrogena® Hydro Boost Ultra Hydrating Serum as a free product to review, and I love it! I've been using the serum both morning and night. A little bit of this serum goes a long way - I use two pumps worth and that provides proper coverage for my face. This serum is a really lightweight, creamy texture, that blends so easily into my skin. It gives my skin instant hydration and leaves me looking refreshed. Bonus; it's fragrance free. I also love the packaging! The serum comes in a beautiful bright blue, recyclable glass bottle. I'm definitely a big fan! -

I had the opportunity to try YSL Lashclash Mascara as a free product to review. This mascara is meant to give your lashes some extra volume, plus it’s waterproof. The shade I sampled is “Ultra Black”. YSL Lashclash is not my favourite mascara but it has some good qualities. It definitely provided me with some volume/thickness to my lashes and the mascara was fairly buildable without over clumping. It’s definitely a solid, waterproof mascara and will last you all day and night. I wish that I had seen more of an improvement with the length of my lashes. But for me, the real bummer was the size and shape of the brush. They label it an oversized brush, and it is just that - I found myself tapping and smudging on my eyelids with almost each use. To me, it’s a good mascara, but I was expecting more. -

I had the opportunity to try AVEENO® STRESS RELIEF BODY WASH. This body wash is sooo calming! It has lavender, chamomile and ylang-ylang essential oils. I love the lavender fragrance, and could happily use more of it! While I shower, it gives me a relaxing, spa vibe, which is a great way to start the day! The body wash itself lathers well and leaves my skin feeling soft, with the hint of a lavender scent. The only thing I would change is the pump. I have to pump the pump four times to get the amount of body wash that I need. I would prefer a squeeze bottle option. -
