Very happy to receive the Clean Reserve H2EAU perfume in Golden Citrus for free. I’m a big fan of citrus smelling products so I was looking forward to trying this perfume. I was surprised when I put it on and was immediately hit with a wave of floral right off the bat. It unfortunately overpowered the citrus so it pulls through second and is not as forward as I would have liked or expected this perfume to be. The scent lasted all day but if I was to go out for the evening I would have to reapply. I also picked up on the clean ocean scent and that was pleasant and definitely compliments the citrus. I found the perfume very gentle on my skin being that this is a water based product and although the mandarin oil felt a bit too oily on my skin it definitely made it soft. I also really liked that this came in a roll on as it made for fast and easy application. The twist on lid has a nice tight seal so there is no worry of leaking and I also like the convenient size of the bottle for throwing in your purse as well.

I was really happy to get the opportunity to try out the Aveeno Calm and Restore Daily Moisturizer. Unfortunately I was disappointed by this product because I really enjoy Aveeno and I really wanted to love this. The texture of the moisturizer wasn't what I was expecting as it was a very sticky texture and not at all pleasant to put on my face. I found the product would roll off my face a bit when trying to rub it into my face and while eventually the stickiness went away after a few minutes I wasn't feeling left hydrated the way I expected to be considering the ingredients in the formula. I tried the product both alone and under makeup and and both times I experienced the moisturizer would stick to my very dry patches and roll off. It did do well under make up for a few hours but by the end off the day I was feeling very dry and my makeup had caked a bit. The product while fragrance free I did get the smell of the oat pull through as I am very sensitive to smells but this wasn't super unpleasant and it also didn't smell like sunscreen like I find most moisturizer do when they have SPF in them so that was also nice. The product comes out in a pink tint but goes on and blends into the skin, though I found it left a bit of a white cast on my face after application. My skin didn't become irritated til the end of the day when I noticed I had become a bit red and hot in the cheek area as that's where I tend to be more dry as well the product clung to the dry patches. Also upon application I noticed the more I was to rub the product into my skin the more the moisturizer would pill up and flake off. I'm always happy to find a product that moisturizes and gives skin protection and as such was really pleased to know that the moisturizer contained SPF 30 along with it being hypoallergenic and fragrance free as my skin is sensitive and needs a little extra love. Over all I think a light layer of product is best and the less you rub it in the better. Another plus in my book is that the formula felt light weight and didn't clog my pores so there is no fear of it breaking me out. I also really liked the packaging as its very clean and simple in design and the twist on cap clicks right onto place nicely. Its a great size to pop in your bag on the go or while traveling without fear it bursting open and product going everywhere. I also super appreciate the packaging to be made with 40% post consumer recycled plastic to me a brand that is all about care for the planet and being sustainable. The formula isn't a hit for me personally and at the price point is is I wont be purchasing it. -

The McCafé Vanilla Keurig coffee unfortunately was a miss for me. The vanilla taste sadly was too artificial in flavour and came across as more of an almond flavour. As well the coffee just didn’t pull through as very strong or smooth tasting like I would expect a McCafé coffee to taste. It was very watered down even on a small size setting. The packaging however is on par with every other K-cup coffee offered so nothing that wowed me but was easy to use and a standard. As someone who hasn’t had a flavoured coffee before this was definitely a let down and I wouldn’t recommend this to be a first choice for others wanting to try flavoured coffee for the first time. Over all I wouldn’t purchase this but would still be open minded to trying other flavors offered by McCafé.

I was happy to receive the Dap AMP advanced modified polymer sealant from Butterly to review. My dad found the sealant easy to use and with it being a crystal clear “colour” it made for a sleek and seamless finish. The sealant being a hybrid of polyurethane and silicone made the perfect combo for weather protection. The product did have a strong chemical smell to it vs a regular silicon sealant and one thing that would make the sealant better is a removable tip because despited putting a stopper at the tip the product does dry up and you have to make the hole bigger the next time you use it. A positive to the sealant being a hybrid is that it creates the perfect weather protection in 30min and is ready to paint over. I tested the weather protection with some water at the 30min mark and it was true to its word. Over all this is a great product for all your project needs.

Mighty patch is a great pimple patch, it’s super absorbent and had a good quality adhesive. It absorbs your pimple super fast. The box comes with a good number of patches. My only wish is that it came with different sizes. When you put it on your face you hardly notices it and because the adhesive is great you can wear it to bed without worrying it will come off. It’s not super transparent but I feel comfortable enough to go out with it on my face for a little while. You can see how fast it works and I noticed the patch start to change to wight within a few hours. Depending on how large of a pimple you have one could be enough but for a larger more stubborn pimple I recommend two at least to calm it. The thickness of the patch is in between for me and so I didn’t mind it. Over all a great option to choose when looking for a pimple patch.

Sambucol’s Black Elderberry advanced immune support is a really great tasting dietary supplement in the form of a cute gummy. As someone who is sensitive to tastes and texture I was pleasantly surprised that this wasn’t an overwhelming taste and despite the gummy being a bit textured I didn’t mind it at all. The taste kind of reminds me of grape but deeper in flavor. I love that there is only 1g of sugar and yet this gummy taste like candy which is great because it makes it super easy for little ones and those with sensory issues to take and kids think they are getting a treat. The fact that this gummy is gluten free and vegan means it can reach a large audience and I appreciate when companies do this especially when it comes to health related products. I love the convenience of just popping a few gummies into your mouth for a fast, easy and delicious way to get important immune support especially when you are sick and don’t want nasty tasting medicine. Another bonus that parents or really anyone will love and appreciate, is that there is no artificial colours, flavors or preservatives. I really am pleased that if I need some extra support this is a perfect way for me to help my body with out having some strong aversion. Finally I’m pleased that this has a good price point making it a great choice for families.

This is a wonderfully made chefs knife. It had a lovely handle that’s light weight and easy to grip and hold in your hand. The sharp blade made for easy and fast work of cutting and chopping food. The over all quality makes the knife super durable and comfortable to use and at the price point it’s incredibly affordable and feels like a top of the line chefs knife. This is great for people with arthritis as the grip and light weight puts less strain on your wrist. The handle is the perfect length and has such a comfortable in hand feel to it. Over all I’m super impressed with how this chefs knife performs. -

So pleased to have been provided with a refill that is 2x the product. I super appreciate the care for the planet with 80% saving of plastic along with the pouch being made with recycled plastic. Eco friendly easy to use packaging is big in my books. The easy to pour spout is the perfect size for filling up the bottle and the pouch is relatively easy to hold and pour. As long as you are gentle and careful with pouring the cleanser you don’t have to worry about product being wasted. -

I felt like I didn’t have enough time to try out this product however with that said I am happy with how it’s performed so far. It’s such a gentle cleanser which I appreciate with my sensitive skin so It’s true to its advertisement. I felt clean and not at all dry or tight after cleansing my face. I absolutely appreciate the 2x the refill in an easy to use pouch that is environmentally friendly with recycled plastic, so I’m looking forward to trying this product out more. Another thing I appreciate being that I am sensitive to scents this cleanser is fragrance free. I love the consistency of the cleanser as well as the fact that the cleanser is sulfate free, paraben free dye free, alcohol free and especially that it was tested on sensitive skin. Over all this is a really nice cleanser for those with sensitive skin. -

I so happy I got a chance to try these. As someone who has used a few different brands of spot patches I can say with out a doubt this is my top choice. These little patches are super absorbent and so thin you hardly know they are on your face and they stick so well. All of these things I find super important for the best results. I found the next day the whole patche had completely absorbed my pimple and flattened the area affected. They didn’t fall off my face at night which is super important. Over all I’m super impressed and the price is definitely affordable. -
