I received this AVEENO Tone + Texture Daily Renewing Lotion to try for FREE and I loved the large size bottle. I used it right away on my arms and legs and it felt smooth and absorbed well. There was no overwhelming scent so I liked that it was not overpowering. I did not immediately notice even after 3 days straight of use that my skin was more "toned" but I do have tanned scan with visible freckles. I would have a better idea if it provided my skin to be more smooth and even toned. I like the idea behind this as the concept is new and I have never heard of or seen body lotion that is made for evening out skin tone. The added bonus is that it has vitamins for the skin and it definitely made my skin more evenly smooth. I suffer from patches of dryness on my arms especially, so it's nice that it was able to help moisturize this part of my body. I would recommend it to friends and family with similar skin issues. -

I received the NOMA Quick-Clip C9 Christmas Lights LED String Lights, Red & Green, 24-pk to try for FREE. I liked the packaging as there was a reusable storage box. This would make it very easy to pack away and reuse each year without worrying the lights and spare pieces get ruined. I love the reusable box storage idea! I was not fond of the colour combo I received of green and red. Although each individual light looked nice and big and looked of strong and sturdy material, the clips on each light were not big enough to clip on the top railing of my outdoor porch stairs. Therefore, I had to clip them along the vertical parts of my stairs. I usually decorate the top railing horizontally. They did look easy to use and someone like me did not even need to read instructions. Just a quick clip and go. This would be great for beginners. The wires looked very sturdy and of excellent quantity that could probably withstand all weather elements of our cold and windy winters so it would be interesting to see how they withstand the elements. The lights were very vibrant when plugged in and looked pretty, I would have just not chosen this particular colour combination personally. I wish the clips were adjustable to fit more types of stair railings as my railings were a bit too wide. Overall, they felt nice in my hands and were a beautiful sight to behold. -

I received this FREE Aveeno Positively Radiant Moisturizer with SPF30. It came In a good size container and was easy to use and apply to my face. I used it after waking up when my face was clean and before applying any makeup. It was smooth and absorbed quickly without leaving any sticky fingers or residue. My skin immediately felt soft and moisturized. I liked that it was not a strong scent and was basically scent free. I am happy to see that there's SPF protection in it so there isn't a need for me to have to also apply sunscreen especially during these blazing hot summer days. How my skin will look going forward depends on daily usage so I am excited to see how well it holds up to my skin. If it can eliminate dark spots which I have, that would be a bonus. -

I got this DC Armor-Up Batman Mask for free to try for my 7 yr old twin girls! They absolutely loved it and wanted to immediately take turns trying it out and playing with it. Batteries were included and had an easy on and off button which is very useful for preserving battery life. There is a button to flip the eyes revealing the wearer's identity which is a great feature. The other cool aspect of the mask is the button that activates the many phrases, sounds, and lights on the mask making this toy very interactive for any little boy or girl's imaginative play. It's great that the mask is adjustable because my girls have vastly different sized heads and it was easy to adjust for them so double the fun! We could see this toy being used over and over again by both girls as they pretended to be superheros. We think this could even be a very cool interactive Halloween mask too! The options are endless with how this mask can be used and played with. Such a cool toy that my girls actually enjoyed. I would want to buy one for future birthday present for any DC kid fan! -

I received this Paderno 6-Slice Convection Toaster Oven to try for free and it was so sleek and modern looking. It matched my kitchen theme very well. I liked how sleek it was. It was easy to put together and use. Simply plug in and the digital display turns on automatically. It was easy to see the display and I had no issues using it right off the bat. It was very straightforward so was happy someone like myself or even my kids could learn how to use it. I love the idea that it can cook a chicken roast, pizza or up to 6 slices of toast. I used it for the first time right out of the box to toast garlic bread. The dial was smooth to turn and it has the ability to adjust timing accordingly based on what you're cooking. The door easily opens without creaking noises or any issues. It also came with a crumb tray, rack and baking sheet. I liked that it could do so many things in one appliance which is very useful. Sometimes I don't want to waste the energy and power of cooking food in a large oven so this tabletop version was compact, sleek and modern. So it was a great addition to my kitchen for those quick easy meals. It was easy to use and cooked fast and evenly. Our garlic bread did not burn and was perfectly toasted the way the kids liked it with a bit of crunch and not much mess at all. Easy to clean with the provided baking tray. I would recommend this Paderno appliance to family and friends! -

We got this sample to review and my daughter currently is struggling with acne on her face. When she heard she had the opportunity to try this new product, she was excited. Prior to this, she has only used facial washes designed for acne as well as acne cream. So this product is new for her. We easily applied the dots to those major pimples that were most red and irritated. It was easy to apply and stayed on the entire night until morning. She reported that she could hardly see them on and they did not feel like anything was on her face. She slept well with them and none came off. By the morning time, we took them off one by one and did not immediately see a difference until we took after photos and compared her before and after application photos. We noticed her pimples that had the Panoxyl on them were not as red or prominent. We hope that multiple applications over a span of a couple of days or weeks would probably yield better results. She was happy to use them as they were easy to apply and remove as well as comfortable. I would need to see after prolonged use how the results would really prove if the product was successful or not. One application showed a slight difference in redness but whether it would help reduce or eliminate her pimples, it's hard to say. -

I was given the opportunity to test the Kids Tylenol liquid medicine in Grape flavour. Coincidentally, my 7 year old girls were experiencing back to back fevers for the past 4 days. After giving them luke warm baths, giving them cool fever patches and making sure they were hydrated with liquids and soup, their fevers still spiked at night so using the Kids Tylenol really helped and I saw a significant decrease in their fever numbers within 15 mins of orally taking the recommended dosage. It helped them sleep better and gave me peace of mind. The stress and fear of nevermind one child but two children having fevers simultaneously is nerve-wracking and using Kids Tylenol, liquid form really helped the entire family feel better. By the 4th day, their fevers were subsided, they were in good spirits and I credit Tylenol for being reliable, easy to use and effective. The kids didn't mind the taste of the Grape which made it easy to use when needed. -

I was given the opportunity to review and try the Bai Antioxidant Infusion Ipanema Pomegranate which was pleasantly tasty. It wasn't sweet and with 1g of sugar this drink is perfect for someone who is diabetic. Love the idea of there being natural flavours and ingredients. The only flaw for me is that there is caffeine which I try to stay away from but otherwise it's a very tasty and healthier way to quench your thirst. I enjoyed the pomegranate flavour because I enjoy more sour tastes. I would definitely buy again just to try the other flavours offered. It's hard finding "juice" and drinks other than water that has flavour and is a healthier option so BAI is great to have on hand for those hot summer days! -

I got the DAP Alex Ultra Sealant to try for free and I was excited to try this at home for small DIY projects I had planned such as chalking the bathroom vanity and more. It was my first time using this product as I am only familiar with tile chalking for washrooms so a paint sealant was new for me. It was easy to load into my chalking gun and there was a lot to use in the package which is great for larger projects so if this came in different sizes or has the ability to remove and reuse, it may be something I would use for future paint projects. It came out smooth and the perfect shade of white. However, sometimes it came out too thinly or too thickly so I had to wipe it off and retry several times. I guess it depends on how large I cut the hole. I appreciated that if I accidentally got it on other spaces like my hands etc that it was easily wipeable and removable without causing a huge mess. This project might not be for me but I can see how it would be useful for others on their DIY home projects. -
