This is a lightweight serum for daily use. I applied it directly after cleansing. The serum comes in a glass pump bottle, which is good for hygenic reasons. No issues with the pump itself. That the bottle doesnt have a lid took some getting used to, but on the other hand it's a plus that unecessary packaging is avoided. The serum itself absorbs super fast into the skin. I used multiple pumps of product to do my whole face. It was pleasant to use as it doesn't cause any burning or irritation and I didn't notice any fragrance. After over a month of use, I do think my skin looks brighter and less dull. There waa a week where I used this under lrimer and makeup. There was some pilling that would occur. It seemed to be fine with just blush, concealer and highlighter on top. Three stars because it's a bit on the pricier side and because it may not play well with other products. I received this product free to try. -

I used this eye gel for over a month. I like that's it's versatile in the sense that you can use it both day or night. I like to add it after cleaning and after using the serum, to add an extra boost of moisture to my undereye area. The texture itself is pretty nice. It's very light and non-greasy. It feels a bit cooling and moisturizing when you apply. No issues either when applying makeup over top after it absorbed. I did not experience any irritation from the product and there wasn't a noticeable scent. Importantly, it didn't burn, which can sometimes happen when applying eye products to skin that's a bit on the dry side. I do think it was effective time in reducing puffiness and any way to get a retinol in the eye area minus irritation is a win for me. In terms of packaging, I liked that glass was used but would prefer a spatula or something to be included for hygenic reasons. I received this product free to try. -

These gummies are a great way to maintain a healthy immune system in cold and flu season. I tried a free sample of these gummies, so my review is my first impressions rather than a summary of my long term experience. I like that these gummies are more natural as they have elderberry as the active ingredient. There is also some Vitamin C and Zinc so it's a bit of a supplement in that way. Zince is also good for preventing or stopping a cold. I like that all these ingredients are combined together. The gummy is a painless way to take these things as I am not a fan of tablets or pills. For me, the gummies are tastier than elderberry syrups, wihch tend to be sweeter and have a bit of an aftertaste. I would also use these for travel as it would be easy to pack a bunch and not have it count against the liquids limitation.

I'm familiar with these sorts of oatches but had never tried or seen this brand before. These patches do work, but the best thing is to use them at night and apply them as soon as you feel or suspect a deeper pimple coming on. If you wait until the pimple is raging, it's a bit too late. These really help to shorten the lifespan and amplitude of those deep, painful ones that then can last for a month. I would say that if you get these on at the right time, you won't necessarily stop the pimple from forming but it will be way smaller and manageable and a lot less painful! -

I was excited to try the new Chapman's Super Premium Plus ice cream with a free coupon. I have had Chapman's regular vanilla ice cream, but never any of their flavoured ones or this new line. I tried the cookie jar one, which is a mix of vanilla, chocolate chip and oatmeal cookie bits. I think the best part of this ice cream is the texture. The texture is super smooth and creamy, not hard. The cookie pieces aren't so much chunks but bits that incorporate well into the rest of the ice cream. The ratio of mix ins to the ice cream is just the right amount and the cookie parts aren't overly sweet. Definitely a winner! -

I received a sample of this product free from Butterly. The sample was small so I cannot speak to long term usage/effects as it was only enough for two uses. This review is based on what I could tell from that limited time. This is a cleansing oil which is meant to remove make up. I think this oil is good for people with dry skin or during drier times of the year, such as winter. It has squalane, which is a well known ingredient to help moitsurize the skin. It also has tsubaki flower, which I recognize from other Japenese skincare products. What makes it unique is the addition of ginseng. The texture is what you would expect, as it is an oil. It does what it says in terms of removing makeup. However, it is hard to say if it will clog pores or cause any other skin issues in the long run. I think if you veer oily or are prone to breakouts, this may not be the product for you. -
