Dove Care Between Washes Fresh Coconut Dry Shampoo

I'm a huge fan of dry shampoo, but I'm not sure how well this spray compares to my usual powder. It didn't go on white which is nice, and it smells delicious, but I didn't get the same clean texture and look as I was expecting. My hair still felt quite greasy, and only slightly improved. It was an improvement to be sure, but not good enough to make me feel comfortable to go to work without showering that morning. Really pleased to have been able to try it! #gotitfree -

This product has a lovely, light, lemony scent and the spray bottle is well constructed & effective. I really like this new "inspired by nature" line because I do prefer to buy natural products as much as possible, but while the front of the label notes that it's a 100% naturally derived cleaning agent, I don't really know what that means because the back of the product doesn't actually list the ingredients. I found this rather suspicious & made me wary of how "natural" the product really is.
The product seemed to work nicely, though it left a soapy residue on my counters that didn't wipe away as easily as I expected. It was great on the kitchen table & sink, but I'm a bit concerned about using it too much on the counters. I'm really glad that I was able to try this product free #gotitfree, and I would probably look for it stores the next time I need. I'm especially curious to see if there's any more ingredient info listed once the product is on the shelves.

VIM has always been one of the main bathroom cleaner brands to me. The classic cream cleanser is still my go-to for bathtub cleaning, so I was excited to try this spray for all my other bathroom surfaces. Thanks to Family Rated I #gotitfree! More & more I do look for more natural products with less harsh chemicals, so I appreciate the marketing of this new inspired by nature line. I was quite surprised not to see the ingredients listed on the label though.. As a natural product, I was curious to read the ingredients & was surprised to find absolutely none listed, though the usual harsh cleaning product warnings were..
I found the scent very clean & pleasant, & as someone who's sometimes sensitive to smells this was a wonderful bonus. The spray worked well & flowed smoothly with a good amount of liquid in each burst. Initially there seemed to be a bit of a soapy residue, but it wiped away well and left my counters clean & not at all sticky. I look forward to using this again & would probably purchase it in the future if I was in need & the price was right.

This is a wonderful moisturizer. It's very light so it rubs in easily and left my skin feeling very soft & moisturized. I love that Nivea offers this product in this sort of container- it makes it easy to get the right amount & when I get to the bottom I'll be able to use every last bit! While I've recently made a daily facial moisturizer part of my routine, and Nivea essentials day cream is my go-to brand, I typically only use a body moisturizer after I've gotten too much sun, or in the winter when my skin gets dry. Since this cream is very light & soft I can see myself using it on a bit of a more regular basis, and I'm very much looking forward to using it this winter! Thanks so much ChickAdvisor & Nivea! #GotitFree -

Since Nivea day cream for dry/sensitive skin is my go-to daily facial moisturizer, I was very excited to try this make-up remover. #GotitFree Thanks Chickadvisor & Nivea! I was a little skeptical because I honestly haven't found that any make-up remover works as well for mascara traces under my eyes as soap & water, so I was very pleasantly surprised by this Micellar water; it did a very nice job removing make-up & sweat and really made my face feel light & clean! I love that I don't have to rise after wiping my face & it doesn't feel like I just used a make-up remover. I definitely agree, it feels like air & there is no product residue. -

I love strawberry or raspberry margaritas, so as a preliminary taste taste I just blended this mix with ice. It's very sweet and reminded me of childhood popsicles. :) Typically when I make cocktails I like to add blended fruit, so I added some frozen raspberries and some vanilla/rasperry swirl ice cream I happened to have, and it was a delightful treat! Both on its own with ice, and blended with frozen raspberries, it was very similar to drinks I've had in bars that cost over $10.
It pairs well with added fruit, and I would definitely try it with vodka the next time my sister's over! I feel that Mott's* Mr & Mrs T* drink mixes are good value for the amount of drinks that can be made with them. Because I personally find the mix so sweet I imagine I can make this container last quite a while because I dilute it with fruit and ice.
I look forward to having my friends over for raspberry cocktails this summer! Thank you for opportunity to try this Mott's* Mr & Mrs T* Blue Raspberry Martini cocktail mix! #gotitfree

I was really pleased to see that each 1/2 cup stick was individually wrapped with detailed measurements along the side of the paper wrapper. I typically weigh my butter when baking, so I double checked it and of course the measurements were perfect. I can see how these would be really handy at Christmas when I try to make several different batches of cookies in one epic day.
I tested these by whipping up a batch of classic chocolate chip cookies and they were wonderful! They came out perfectly light and chewy! I'd have to do a taste test with a butter batch to be sure, but I didn't feel like these sticks distorted the flavour at all, & my cookies came out delicious!
I don't normally mind having to soften the butter, but it was really very satisfying to be able to just plop the stick in the bowl and cream it together with the brown sugar - the whole dough seemed surprisingly quick to make because I didn't have to soften or weigh out the butter.
Thank you so much for the opportunity to try this product, I look forward to baking with my other ready to go stocks! #gotitfree

This oil has a nice light taste that I found enhanced the natural flavours of the meat and veggies I was cooking. I typically use olive oil when cooking, which can often add its own very distinctive flavour - this oil is a really nice, healthy alternative that doesn't have an overwhelming or strong flavour. It worked really well for frying up some red peppers and onions, as well as for browning some ground beef & porc.
I'm surprised that's not recommended for baking since I think it would probably work for cakes that call for oil, but I didn't test it.
I would certainly recommend it to anyone looking for a healthier vegetable oil alternative and am very happy to have it my house now. :) Thank you for the opportunity to try this product! #gotitfree

I received this product free for testing. I enjoyed washing my face with this product and found its creamy, texture quite nice. It made my skin feel clean, and I found that after washing my face, it felt smooth and moisturized, so I didn't feel the need to use my regular nighttime moisturizer. I don't think I would go out of my way to buy it because I didn't notice a big difference over my usual face cleansing product, but I will continue to use this cleanser to evaluate whether it's worth incorporating into my routine. -

I received this product free for testing. I have mildy sensitive skin, that is sometimes dry. I have been making more of a conscious effort to moisturise my face in the morning and after I shower at night. My current preferred moisturiser is a Nivea product with a light almond scent - for reference, the smell of that product is not too strong, the consistency/thickness is perfect and it makes my face feel hydrated without extra weight. I found this Aveeno moisturizer less satisfying to use then my usual Nivea one. It's labelled unscented, but I found its lack of an actual scent made it smell somewhat plasticy or chemically (maybe from its container) - This was main reason I couldn't bring myself to try this product more than a couple times, I really didn't like the smell on my face. The consistency was a bit thinner than I was used to as well and applied more like sunscreen than my usual thick, creamy face moisturiser. It's hard to really tell because I was unable to use this moisturiser as consistently, but if anything I noticed more redness in face as compared to my usual moisturiser. I can't really say whether my skin felt specifically calm or soothed, mostly because I found the 'unscented' smell so off-putting that it made me anxious. I'm disappointed that I wasn't able to benefit from the claims the product made. -
