That being said, I think it is a good mix for a unisex parfum. There's a mix of woody and sweet scents that could work for anybody in the house.
The bottle is simple and classic, and the cost reflects an affordable luxury brand.

I obtained a sample of this coffee for free. I try to buy fair trade certification coffee whenever I can to ensure that farmers and their families are paid fairly for their hard earned work. The "Ethical Bean" name fits well with the fair trade coffee.
The cup of coffee itself was quite average though. I would be happy drinking it, but I would say the taste is similar to a basic budget brand of coffee. I didn't mind it, but my partner, who is a bit of a coffee snob did not enjoy it.

The great thing about these protein bars is that you know exactly what you're getting. I love that they list the ingredients right on the front; they're not trying to hide anything. They're a healthy snack that fill you up. I like them because they're good when you're on the go, instead of grabbing fast food or some other junk. I received the blueberry flavour as a sample. It wasn't my favourite tasting, but there's many other flavours I like. Obviously you get a better price when you buy a whole box instead of individually. The variety packs are good so you can have a mix of flavours. -

I received a sample of this and gave it to my partner to use and he was looking forward to it - especially given the colder temperatures drying out his skin. Two thumbs up for using natural ingredients. My partner liked the thicker consistency, especially for the winter months, and also that it didn't have a strong smell. He said it moisturized his face well and didn't leave a sticky residue. It's also really affordable. -

If you're looking for a great tasting whipped cream cheese frosting (aka super fluffy and easy to spread) without the difficulty and time of making your own, Philadelphia is the way to go. It's great for cupcakes, cakes and loaves. I'd say it's even good out of the jar, but that's probably going a little too far. Let's be honest, you're not looking to buy whipped cream cheese frosting if you're looking for something healthy. But if you're looking for a sweet treat, this one is great! -

I've wanted to try a facial roller for some time, so I was thrilled when I had the opportunity to do so. Some facial rollers can be quite expensive (in the hundreds), but this one is very affordable (around $25).
It comes with a handle, the facial roller, the under eye roller and a AA battery. The instructions suggest you keep the eye roller in the fridge when not in use. I actually found this quite helpful and more refreshing having a cool eye roller to help de-puff my eyes.
The instructions for use are very simple. They provide a diagram of the strokes to take. You can turn the vibration, or keep it off. Very easy to do, feels pretty cool and can be done when you're watching TV or as part of your daily/nightly routine.
I haven't been using it long enough to notice any differences, but it does make my face feel nice and I can see how it would increase blood flow, particularly when using the vibration.

Unless you're re-purchasing, I would suggest you try the product out in the store before buying in order to get the right shade. I picked the O3W - natural warm. I thought it would be good for me, but it's a bit lighter than I would prefer. It will be good for winter though, when my skin tone is lighter. The foundation itself comes out of a pump. It's medium coverage - it won't cover dark blemishes, but is lighter than thicker foundations. I like this aspect because I don't like a heavy makeup look. The thing I like the most is the fresh dewy glow that this foundation gives off. -

I was first introduced to Royal Jelly in France and I absolutely loved everything it did to my skin. When I received this product free to test it, I was elated to try another product with Royal Jelly, and the Guerlain Abeille Royale Anti-Aging Fortifying Lotion Toner did everything I expected it would do. The texture and the SMELL is so beautiful. It makes my skin feel so soft, supple and smooth.
This is more of a luxury product to add into your skincare routine. But it's definitely worth it in my opinion. I'm surprised it comes in a plastic bottle instead of glass giving the price, but it's still a great product.

I really love this perfume. The bottle is a gorgeous glass bottle with what almost looks like a honeycomb on the top. I like light scents, and this one hits the spot. It is perfect for everyday wear and not overpowering. Although it's not very strong, it lasts all day with the sweet, fruity, airy scent.
I received this product as a free sample

I love this lip scrub for so many reasons it is hard to decide which one to talk about first. Obviously the fact that it is FOOD GRADE makes me feel very safe and confident about this product because I am going to end up eating a ton from it being on my lips. My lips can get really dry and this scrub is very moisturizing, and makes for a great primer before I put lipstick on. I do not always love peppermint, so the mix of vanilla makes the flavour much softer. I would highly recommend this product. -
