I was incredibly excited to be able to try this beautiful Lash Clash Extreme Volume Mascara by Yves Saint Laurent for free in exchange for my honest review. I have always had very fine and tiny lashes on my eyes and I tend to buy voluminzing mascara because of this. However, I have never been satisfied because I have found that it takes work to curl, tease and apply the mascara carefully in order to avoid stiff, clumpy, smudgey or artifical looking lashes. Having tried this mascara now, I can happily say that it delivers as promised.
Unlike other mascaras that I have used, I found that this does not clump or smudge. The design of the Double-Conical brush helps build volume and allows for easy application. The mascara is thick but it goes on smoothly and evenly. After I applied the mascara, I was impressed with the how full and noticeable my lashes were. The only thing extra that I did was curl my lashes.
I also put the mascara to the test throughout the day. It's definitely waterproof! My eyes watered heavily and were wiped repeatidly while I was chopping onions for cooking. The Lash Clash Mascara stayed as it should. The colour and volume lessened just slightly throughout the day. It essentially lasted until bedtime, when I removed it.
Overall, I am very happy with this product! I would recommend it to anyone looking for bold, beautiful and volumized lashes. I will definitely purchase this in future now that I've tried it!

I have used various Aveeno products over the yeas and was thrilled to be selected to try Aveeno® Calm + Restore Daily Moisturizer with Mineral SPF 30! For about a week, I've been using it daily and I have to say that I love this moisturizer!
I have sensitive skin that can turn red if an unfriendly or harsh product is applied. But, I can happily say that this facial moisturizer was great and did not irritate my sensitive skin in any way.
In addition to being sensitive, my skin runs dry. I found this product to do a very nice job providing nourishment and moisture throughout the day. My skin looked and felt better after each application.
The product is very much as advertised. It is not greasy. It's absorbs well. It goes on smoothly and rubs in easily. The tint of the moisturizer blends in and clears away some of the redness that might be there.
I also love that this is a good for you product. The spf 30 that is comes with is entirely mineral based. The moisturizer also offers natural solutions such as oat kernel extract and feverfew, which are great for soothing skin.
Overall, I am very happy with the moisture, spf, natural ingredients and calming benefits this product offers. I would gladly recommend this to anyone looking for a healthy spf moisturizer.

I have three Paw Patrol fans in the house and they were so excited to hear that they would be receiving a new Paw Patrol Everest Vehicle to play with! My four year old is the biggest fan of all and he couldn't contain his excitement when our package arrived.
My son immediately noticed that Everest could ride in the vehicle and loved that she could be placed on the back of the snowmobile as well. He had fun gliding Everest along the floor and he had even more fun creating imaginative missions where Everest's pup friends joined her in saving the day. Everest was the star of the day and was at the helm of every mission.
I would have rated this toy five stars if it weren't for two small problems. First, the grappling claw is almost useless. It's nice that it can click in and get out of the way. However, my son really wanted to use it to grip something and there is almost no way that this can be done. There's no space and no way for the claw to open or close. One other small problem with the toy is that there is no way to secure Everest in the vehicle. She keeps falling forward. My son had to adjust his play everytime this happened. That being said, this is otherwise a great toy and my son had loads of fun playing with it! Thank you so much for the opportunity!

I was very excited to be able to try these Black Elderberry Immunity + Cold and Flu Relief Gummies by Sambucol. The timing was perfect to recieve this sample as I have been fighting a cold this week.
I tried this product almost immediately and I was pleasantly surprised. When I opened the sachet of gummies, I got a nice hit of the black elderberry smell. Taste wise, the product does not disappoint. The berry flavour is there and I also picked up on some of the citrus. It's tasty enough. I enjoyed it.
I like that there is a good amount of zinc and vitmain C in this product. These are so important when you are feeling unwell. I loved being able to access this nutrition quickly and conveniently. It's a bonus that it tastes good and is easy to chew.
That being said, the ingredient list could be much better. The first ingredient is sugar. For a wellness product, this doesn't work. There is also not enough nutrition in the product to really combat anything. We need a ridiculous amount of vitamin C when we are sick and this simply isn't enough. I suppose for regular days, adding these gummies in would be fine. It would make sure you get your daily intake and that's helpful.
Overall though, I don't anticipate using this. It just doesn't provide enough nutrition given the cost and other alternatives out there (ex. Eating and Orange). I definitely appreciate the opportunity to try this though!

I haven't quite tried a product like this before and I didn't know what to expect. I was so excited to have the opportunity to try Aveeno Stress Relief Body Scrub. The product promises stress relief and gentle exfoliation.
What I loved was that it definitely delivered as a gentle exfoliater. I get some dry and rough skin sometimes and this product took care of that. It caused no irritation or dryness and left my skin feeling soft.
What I wasn't sold on was the stress relief aspect. While I loved the scent, the product didn't relieve stress. It's being described over and over as a stress relief body scrub and this leaves me confused. I love the lavender scent. It is subtle and pleasant. I might even say it's a perfect accompaniment to an already relaxing shower, perhaps with hot water to sooth achy muscles or something. But, on its own, it doesn't relieve stress and I would personally feel disappointed if I bought this product to help with stress.
Overall, however, I like the product. I like the scent. I like the creamy texture and I like how it leaves my skin clean, moisturized and soft. As an exfoliant, I would recommend this to friends and family. Thank you very much for allowing me to opportunity to try this product!

I frequently get headaches and migraines far more often than I would like. As such, I have experimented with many different pain medications. Normally to ease the discomfort that comes with headaches and especially with migraines, I need to double up on or mix medications to dull the pain. As such, I was very happy to try out Tylonol Ultra Relief.
Tylonol Ultra Relief is not your typical pain medication. It adds in caffeine, which is unlike others that I have tried. All I can say is it does the trick! I didn't have to double up on the dose or take any other medications to get through my mild and moderate migraine pains. I was surprised how quickly it worked as well. Sometimes I need to sleep before the pain goes away. But, not in this case.
Thank you for the opportunity to try this fantastic migraine pain reliever! It worked wonders for me and I will definitely recommend it to family and friends.

I am so excited to recieve this Tight + Bright Face Mask by NUDESTIX for free in exchange for my honest opinion. My inital thoughts on this face mask are that it is stacked with amazing vegan ingredients, like mandelic acid, niacinamide, aloe and cucumber which nourish and cool the skin. Since receiving the product, I have used this Tight + Bright Face Mask twice each week, leaving it on my face for ten minutes, as per the instructions.
This lovely product comes in an attractive yet simple bright green tube. The tube is super slim, allowing for it to be easily stored and suitable for travel. The actual product is transparent and green. It looks like a gel and feels like a gel.
The gel mask goes on smoothly. It is easy to spread over the face. Unlike other masks that I've used, this one doesn't turn dry. So, you could choose to leave it on longer, if that is your preference. It is also easier to wash off than other masks that I've used. All I needed was warm water to take it off. The gel is also odorless, which is my preference when it comes to skin products.
There are a few things I might think about before purchasing this product. Firstly, although the gel is easy to spread and even though I was using it sparingly, I had to go back to the tube three times to get the amount I needed to cover my face. After using it even just once, there was a visible dent in the tube. There is just not a lot of product in there. Since the ingredients are awesome, this isn't a deal breaker. But, it is something to consider when buying. Another thing is that I did not notice any brightening of my skin after repeated use. I think my skin was tighter, it felt tighter even after one application. But, neither the brightening nor the tightening benefits of the mask were dramatically or really noticeable, at least for me.
In all fairness, my skin was nicer looking and felt much nicer with the use of the this mask. That is, my skin was extremely soft after each use and it looked much more even. This is a big deal for me because my skin can react with certain products. I had absolutely no issues with this one. It even tamed some of my redness. This was all fantastic.
Overall, I would recommend this product for anyone looking for a quality skin care mask that will help make their skin look and feel healthier. I also absolutely love that the product is vegan and that the packaging is 100% biodegradable. This would be a perfect mask for ethical buyers as well. This is a very nice product!

I tried this product and recieved full rebate in exchange for my honest opinion. I just just finished trying the Philadelphia Dill Pickle Dip for the first time and it is delicious!
I love the creaminess of the texture with a hint of the dill pickle flavour. The flavor is zingy, creamy, and salty. It's quite nice.
I used this product with some pita chips and they paired well. I also tried this dip with some plain chips and vegetable sticks and these combinations were tasty as well.
If I would offer any improvements, I think it would be a little more dill pickle flavour. It's there but it's more subtle than I would like. I found myself taking more dip than I normally would in order to pick up the dill pickle flavour.
Overall, I would recommend the product. It is tasty and pairs well with lots of items. I would recommend this for anyone who enioys dips and for anyone that enjoys a mild dill pickle flavour.

I recieved this Melatonin + Gaba by WHOLISTIC for free in exchange for my honest review. I have been using melatonin in various dosages (3mg to 10 mg) for sometime now. I find it very difficult to unwind and fall asleep quickly I also have a problem with waking up throughout the night. So far, my experience with just melatonin has been that I fall asleep more quickly and that I wake up less. However, I have always gotten a terrible tired/groggy feeling when I wake. That is, I have found ivery hard to ftunction in the morning even if I get more sleep.
This was not my experience with this product. The sample sent was small, but I was able to get two nights of testing out of it. I took the tablets about an hour before I wanted to sleep. I found myself drowsy with 30 to 40 minutes and asleep within the hour as expected. I did not wake at all on my first night of use and woke only once on my second night (my daughter woke me). But, it was much easier for me to fall back asleep with the melatonin and gaba on my system. Best of all, I did not experience the horrible fatigue in the morning drowsy/groggy feeling in the morning that I have experienced with other sleep aids.
I finally had a good night's sleep and reaped the benefits in the morning. Yes, I would buy this product and would recommend it to friends and family!

I recieved a sample of this Magnesium Drink by Natural Calm Canada for free in exchange for my honest review. I am a busy mom of three young children, ages two to five years old. I am always stressed and have sleep troubles. As such, I am always on the lookout for a something to ease the stress, help me sleep or help me unwind. These Calm drinks were perfect for just that.
I tried the Raspberry-Lemonade drink during daytime hours, rather than at night. I dissolved it in a mug of hot water and sipped on it while my kids played. Like a cup of hot tea, the drink offered a soothing heat feeling throughout the body. The flavor is nice and sweet. When drinking, I liked knowing that I was also doing something for my health by drinking the magmesium supplement. During and after drinking, I felt more at ease. I am not sure how this will work long-term for muscles and pain relief because I tried only a small sample, but I like the as needed/short-term benefit of this part product.
