My twin girls were excited to receive this toy, the Kidnetix Sand Mummy Tomb as they've previously played with this brand's products. However after opening it and digging out the items, they suddenly lost interest as it was "too easy" and most of the items dug out were exposed and visible upon opening the product right away so there was no excitement. They played with the kidnetix sand a bit, touched the artifacts found for maybe less than 10 mins then packed it back away. I could see how this toy would be a great stocking stuffer but as a toy that would last or maintain their interests for prolonged periods of time, I don't see that happening unfortunately. They are 7 years old. -

I got this Hello fresh citrus scent deodorant for free to try! I was excited to try something all natural and friendly for the environment for myself and my preteen daughter who uses deodorants daily. This scent was mild and pleasant. It was effective for me and my daughter for daily use. I also loved the opportunity to teach my daughter about taking care of and protecting her body with all natural products but for the environment as well. I would consider buying this and trying other scents if the availability and price point were right for us. The only issue I had was initially it was really hard to get the cap and Deodorant up out of the packaging. I struggled quite a bit and had to put muscle into it, kind of hurting my fingers in the process trying to twist it up higher for use. It wasn't as smooth twisting up and down. -

My fraternal twin girls had the opportunity to try the PAW Patrol Aqua Pups Skye and Manta Ray Action Figures Set for free courtesy the #FamilyRatedClub and they were so ecstatic to play with the toy. They ripped into the package. Each girl took one of the toys and curiously fidgeted with both, touching and feeling it. Rolling the Manta Ray around and using their imaginations to add voices to the characters which was cute to see. Right away they wanted to put them in the bathtub as they seemed like bath toys to them since they lacked any interactive/action. They were essentially action figures with no sounds, buttons etc. They quickly got bored after they played with both in the bathtub. Unfortunately I would not buy this toy for my kids as they would quickly abandon it after a handful of times at best. I wish it was more interactive or it could do more to keep their interest peaked. -

For this product to try for free. Used it for 7 days straight and I love how easy it is to apply. Makes my skin look and feel fresh and clean. After using for 7 days I saw a noticeable difference where dark spots and lines instantly disappeared. Even though I am almost 40, after using this product I don't think you would ever know! -

I got the opportunity to review this product for free and I am glad because it came very useful when we did not have any other kids appropriate medicine to treat my 6 year old who recently started school and after the 3rd week, had a sore throat and stuffy nose. As soon as the first symptoms arose, I immediately administered the medicine accordingly based on the age/weight requirements noted. My child detests taking medicine but this new powder format made it easier to go down without complaints and with an actual smile because it tasted good and dissolved quickly. She hates taking the liquid format because to her, it tastes "disgusting," however this powder medicine, she actually enjoyed. After two days of taking this medicine, her symptoms did not get worse. The 2nd day displayed some mild coughing but there was no fever and her symptoms remained mild. She was comfortable, still energetic and happy. I would recommend this product for all parents to have on hand in case of a sick child. I will definitely purchase this again. With 3 kids in the house, you never know when a cough, cold, fever, or pain will appear and it's reassuring to know that there is a medicine designed for children that works! -

I received this as a small free sample to try from Buttrly. At first I was very excited as it sounded like an Asian brand which would be the first time I was trying something of it's kind for my own Asian skin. Upon opening, I noticed that it was very liquidy and had a pleasant smell. A small amount allowed me to cover my whole face and I washed it off with warm water. It did make my skin dry up but I am unsure if continuous use will help overall or not. The sample was so small, I don't think I can get more than 2 uses out of it. The price point is quite high so this would be a luxury product I would probably not aim for unless it was a miracle product and made my skin feel amazing which it has yet to do. -

I was given for free the Simply Ageless Lash Plumping Mascara to try and it was great! I had such a wonderful first time experience with a plumping lash mascara. I have minimal lashes that are sparse, short, and thin. However, even without having to pre-curl my lashes before applying I was able to directly use the mascara as is right away. I immediately saw positive results - my lashes instantly lengthened, darkened, and plumped up. From minimal almost non-existent lashes to something that was visibly there was amazing! I would definitely recommend this product. As an almost 40-yr old mom of 3, sometimes self-care and makeup is usually done with speed and this helps me achieve that look in mere minutes, if not seconds. -

Received a free sample size of this Covergirl Clean Fresh Skincare Weightless Water Cream and it was me first time trying this. It was easy to apply. No sticky without any residue as I applied it with my fingers. A small amount was able to cover my entire face successfully. At first it felt indeed weightless but after 10 mins, my face did feel like it had something on it so I am not sure because I could notice the "weight" of it albeit it was light. But the plus side is that my skin instantly felt moisturized and continued to feel soft and supple which is a plus! -

I received the Rubick's Metallic Edition Classic Fast-Paced Puzzle Strategy Sequence Two Player Board Game for FREE to review for my kids. I ended up playing with my 10 yr old daugthter and attempted with my 6 yr old daughter. At first, the setup was a bit confusing but the instructions helped me get it set up. My daughter who is 10 would not have had the patience or ability to quickly put it together so I assisted. There seems to be a lot of loose parts and pieces and we tend to lose these things when put back into the box for later play, so maybe if it came with a reusable pouch or plastic box where all the pieces can be put back inside for ease of storage, would be a great idea. Aside from all the pieces and having to set it up each time when we want to play which can be tedious, we found the actual concept of the game to be really unique and challenging in a good way. It was definitely fun for me and my 10 year old found it amusing too because it was definitely a brain-stimulating game. I loved it as much as my 10 year old daughter did! She and I would definitely play it again. -

My 5 year old twin girls got the opportunity to try the Gabby's Dollhouse Kitty Karaoke Set. The toy was cute and small and came with accessories. My daughters immediately recognized the characters from the television show. They played with the toy for a day and soon lost interest because they expected it to sing or play music when they pressed down on its mechanisms. Instead some body parts moved but aside from that, they did use their imaginations to play with it joyfully for a day but then forgot all about it. I think if the toy had more functions such as music/singing then it would be better played with. The karaoke title on this toy made my kids think it did more musically. I thought it was cute and colourful but I could see how kids would not be as interested when it doesn't do much. -
