It's a toy I think brings joy for a few weeks and then once all the eggs are opened, it's a minimal played-with toy because the fun is in opening each egg. It's got a lot of small pieces so could be a choking hazard and these little toys will probably get lost or kicked under furniture to never be seen again. I'd prefer if the camper was completely enclosed so that it could be portable and the tiny pieces wouldn't have a chance to fall out. It's not a noisy toy and I think it would be best for children with imagination so they can make up scenarios for the toys to go on. There's a lot of surprises for kids to figure out and it feels to me like and old school Polly Pocket. It's just hard to compete with all the other things out there plus technology but this has so many moving parts and little surprised that you can save for later to keep the fun going.
Child's words: I like how colorful the box is. I love the poodle family. They're so cute and sparkling. I like their wings and the most fun part is rubbing the heart and getting it warm to crack them open for the big reveal. Their eyes are so cute and the family is fun to play with.

It's great that it doesn't require batteries and it doesn't make a lot of noise. It's not just a basic toy car but it requires imagination and it would help to have accompanying toys to play with it. The car rolls very smoothly even on carpet. You press on the spoiler on the back of the car to make the tail wag - which is probably only when the toy is stationary but it's very cute. There's a button on the butt and near the tailpipe that you press to make the car lower from it's raised state; however it doesn't stay down very long because any little movement makes the car pop up into the lifted state which is slightly annoying. There are 2 headlights that you can lift so that it looks more like a cat. The actual cat could fit more securely in the car as it fell out pretty easily when playing roughly and going upside down. -

This seems like a gift someone absentmindedly purchases at the airport gift shop on the way home from a business trip for their child. There are so many cooler and interesting toys offered these days that stationary figures are too boring for kids. At least this is a plush so they can snuggle with them and it is unlikely to cause any physical harm or a choking hazard. Paw Patrol is a big deal right now but not the only interest so I think this toy will be lost and forgotten in the piles soon. -
Gabby’s Dollhouse Friendship Pack with Gabby Girl

Unless your child is already obsessed with Gabby (which mine is not - and doesn't know anything about her) then it's just a figurine. In a world where there is so much technology and fun toys for kids to play with, this figure requires a lot of imagination or creativity in order to have a good time. Children will be easily bored with this unless they have a strong proclivity to Gabby. -

Received this through XY Stuff and I've been occasionally using them with my boyfriend as the primary user. He has hormonal acne so there are flare ups when he gets stressed. The pads are sufficiently soaked with the Oxy liquid but it feels rough and scratchy against the skin. It takes a while for the product to dry off the face and when the pads are near the eyes, you can feel the sting of chemicals. I like that you can see the dirt and any impurities on the pad after you wipe your face, even after washing but we generally use these pads for a quick and convenient wipe like after getting home from cycling or walking outside. You get a great quantity in the container and I think it's great to be able to use as they're fairly portable and so convenient when you are lazy and don't want to do a full deep clean face wash. -

Face wash has a funky smell of artificial blue raspberry like a blue freezie or popsicle which explains why the product package is blue. Not a huge fan of the clip art volcano packaging. My skin felt refreshed and not dry after exfoliating but it felt good to moisturize after. There is a tingly sensation if you leave it on your face for a while. Because of the product design and scent, I wouldn't expect any mature adult to purchase this product. -

Should be used on hard surface floor. Turning is almost impossible on carpet but it can still go forward and back. It is surprisingly fast moving but with the size of the wheels, I thought it would be able to handle more terrain. I like that it is very stable and has no issues staying in an upright position. I think that all the stabilizing parts that stick out to the sides of the toy could scuff walls with bad driving which is highly likely. This toy requires 4 AA and 2 AAA batteries and requires a tiny screwdriver to open and access the compartment. The battery compartment slides out completely from underneath the centre of the vehicle.
I don't think it's very easy to steer, seeing as this is for children over 3+ and I am an adult. I am used to the Playstation remote controllers with 360 degree rotation but the forward/backward and left/right controls are independent of each other. The toy is rear-wheel drive and the back wheel is controlled by the forward/backward (left yellow) toggle on the controller. The right yellow toggle on the controller moves the front wheel left and right. I found it struggled to respond to turning smoothly; there was a slight delay before the toy would turn in the chosen direction or it prefers to be stopped with no other actions to turn the wheel. The front wheel automatically defaults to the straight position if you let go or aren't forcing the toggle to a left or right direction.
I think it's a good toy for paw patrol fans but there are better remote controlled vehicles.

First impressions: beautiful packaging and lovely orange citrus scent.
I would think people need to ensure to keep the product in a dry cool place. I could see the paper packaging getting easily deformed if it comes into contact with moisture.
To use the product, you put up the centre of the cylinder from the bottom like a push pop. It's quite solid, like the texture of a bar of soap, so you have to rub it around against your skin to warm it up for a bit. Due to the push pop nature, the edges of the cylinder of deodorant bunches up into a lip and the product comes off into chunks.
The application feels a little dry and chalky.
You also can't apply with a lot of effort or you'll push the product back down into the cylinder.

The cream has a thicker consistency but doesn't feel heavy on the face, but you can tell their is a barrier layer. The white cream has a slightly fruity (pineapple) scent and very slight hint of sunscreen.
This literally has all skincare products required in one cream.
The top dispenser has a twist to open or close and push down to receive a dime-sized amount of product.
I like how it feels on my skin, that it includes sunscreen, has vitamin C, incorporates a serum, and is also vegan. I'm excited to see how it holds up in the summer heat.

The spray sunscreen has a high SPF of 50 which I think is important for the skin on your face since that's what everybody has to look at.
The spritz yields an even, light spray - probably 3 spritzes for the entire face and using your fingers to spread it around evenly. Or maybe hold it further away from your face to spritz and no need to touch your face with your hands. It seemed to dry fairly quickly on the face but I think it could easily become oily on my combination skin, especially in the hot sweaty summer heat. There are no white marks which I think is one of the annoyances of applying sunscreen, in addition to missing spots.
It has a classic sunscreen scent - nothing special and pretty forgettable.
The packaging is also recognizably classic Neutrogena.
The sunscreen claims to be water and sweat resistant for 40 minutes - it's winter time and I am not going outside to get sweaty so can't really test this out and I'd rather not just spray it to throw water on my face.
It doesn't say that it is non-comedogenic so I guess this may clog the pores which is less than ideal for the skin. However, it is oxybenzone free - don't know what that is and not sure that it is important but it may be the next ingredient we'll see that everybody emphasizes it is "free" of.
I can't wait to use this in the summertime to really use it properly with the heat and the sun.
