I was so excited to try this product for free for my honest review and was even more surprised when it arrived and was a full size product - WOW!
Starting with the packaging I love the simple yet elegant look of this product. The container is not flooded with a bunch of text and the beautiful ocean blue colour looks great on display on both my bathroom counter and makeup table.
Regarding the Serum itself I think it will be great for those with dry skin as it is very hydrating. It goes on smooth and leaves a nice shine to your skin. The thing I love the most is that it is not greasy and doesn't leave your face feeling sticky. Left my face feeling soft when paired with the Hydro Boost cream.
Overall I am really liking this line and am looking forward to seeing the results of it after prolonged use.

I was so excited to receive this product for free to try and give my honest review. I couldn't believe it was a fully size product!!
Starting with the packaging, I think it is beautiful. The blue colour of the container reminds me of a beautiful Caribbean ocean and looks absolutely stunning on my white bathroom counter. It isn't flashy or crowded with lots of text.
The first thing I did was look this product up on one of the apps that gives a rating about the ingredients within the product and I was so surprised to see that this received an Excellent rating of 100/100 on the app. It was risk free without any harmful parabens and without any harmful UV filters which some creams contain and can be endocrine disruptors to your body. So this was amazing to me.
Regarding the cream itself I found it very hydrating with a thick texture. I don't thing you need a lot on your application as it blends nicely and doesn't leave a sticky touch to your skin. It made my skin feel smooth and looked fresh and hydrated.
Overall I am very impressed with this product and will continue to use it to see the benefits to my skin over prolonged use.

I was very excited to receive this product along with the aveeno eye gel for free for my honest review. so here goes.
Starting with the packaging - I think it is very pretty. The white with the small amounts of Pink and Blue give this a very classic and beautiful product that looks great on my bathroom counter. It isn't flashy or have a ton of wording all over it.
The product itself I wasen't a big fan of. It was thick which is fine, but I felt it was very greasy. It caused me to break out on my chin and nose area within a few days of using it. Due to this I stopped using the product right away. I wouldn't stop using my current skincare brand to go to this one. Not a fan.

I was very excited to receive this product for free for my honest review. so here goes.
Starting with the packaging - I think it is very pretty. The white with the small amounts of Pink and Blue give this a very classic and beautiful product that looks great on my bathroom counter. It isn't flashy or have a ton of wording all over it.
The gel itself is thick and applies well and dries very quickly. It also was not greasy which I love. It is unscented which was fine for me - I do like a little scent (nothing overpowering), but I did prefer no scent on this particular product. After about over almost two weeks of using it I did see some improvement on the puffiness under my eyes, so interested to see how much better it gets the more that I use it. I have been using it at night as part of my night time routine.
My only negative on the product is I sometimes found that it a little bit of a stinging feeling after applying it. It didn't last for a long time, but I did notice it a few times after applying (not always).

My boys were so excited to receive this as we love having family game night and are always loving to try new board games. We do have the original version of this game, but this one is so much better.
What we liked about this version is it is fun to be able to have the 3 different modes (act out a scene, answer questions fast and give 3 clues) as opposed to the original which is just giving clues to the person. These modes make it more interactive. I also liked that it came with 74 clue cards which means we had lot of different options for clues and it wouldn't be the same ones over and over. The game is easy enough that all members of the family (including little ones can play).
As for a negative on this game there is only one that I can think of and it isn't really a negative. It only comes with 1 headset. I know that only one person wears it at a time, but would be better if it came with two especially for when you are playing in teams. Each team would get their own headband and can be ready quickly for their turn.
Overall a good game to be played one on one or in teams. Great for the whole family.

I was super excited to be picked for this review and especially this flavour as I love any and everything coconut.
The bottle itself is a very strong and durable plastic (not the type of plastic of a flimsy water bottle). I love the label for its simple, clean and minimal design and not a lot of text all over the front to shove as much info as they can in the consumers face.
Taste was absolutely DELICIOUS! As my title says tropical oasis in a bottle. I enjoyed it poolside with friends and it was so refreshing. Coconut taste was very prominent and although sweet it wasent artificially sweet tasting. It is definitely a stronger taste of coconut than coconut water, but I love that - the more coconut flavour the better. I think this would be delicious for those people that liked mixed drinks. Add a splash of you alcohol of choice or blend with ice and it is vacation in a bottle.
For my negatives on the product - first is I do not like it warm or room temperature. I need to have it very cold, but I'm like that for most of my drinks and I don't think everyone is like me. So I kept adding ice to my cup and had no issue. The only other negative I have is this product is VERY expensive, and because of that I don't think it would be a drink I would buy regularly, but instead as a treat once in awhile.
Overall loved this drink and if you love coconut, so will you.

By far one of the most flavourful ice creams we have had without having to add extra toppings to it.
My whole family enjoyed it (although mom and dad only got a little bit as my three sons devoured it). My boys said it tasted like a smores ice cream.
Flavour was great - all the mix ins absolutely worked together. However there are a few things that would deter me from purchasing in the future.
First is the size..it is very small. We are a family of 5 and it was literally done in one sitting with not very big scoops to go around. Second is the very steep price. The cheapest I saw this for was $6.99. Compared to other Chapman's ice cream products which we like to purchase - both the size is bigger and price is lower, making it both delicious and cost effective. Given the times of today where everything is expensive that plays a major factor on the purchase of products in our household.
So to summerize, Flavour I would not change 5 stars, however size and price would need to change significantly in order for me to purchase this product line in the future.

My 3 boys were very excited to receive this toy. They liked the character and the fact that it lit up when it unrolled. My only negatives on this product is the instructions included don't show how to close the bakugan so we had to go on YouTube to watch a video. Once we figured it out then it was easy. The package also comes with a card on the character and another card that you use to play a game with this bakugan. I wish it had some sort of general instruction on how the game was played for kids that have never played before that would be a bonus.
All in all it was a good toy that my boys liked and played alongside some of their other 'battle' toys.

I was excited to try this product, but was very disappointed with the results. Packaging was nice and just as past covergirl mascara products, just different colour. Regarding the product, I found it VERY thick especially compared to my regular Mascara brand that I use. I also found the wand too curved and awkward to apply which caused me to get some of the product on my lower lid. I did not find a significant difference in length and some of my lashes clumped together.
All in all, was not a fan of this mascara. I would not switch from my current brand to this one.

Just as my title states that is the jingle that popped into my head when we got approved to review this game. As a kid it was one of my favorite games I think because of that cool spinner, so getting a giant version of that spinner in this game was awesome HA HA!
Starting with the packaging - even though this is a giant edition game, the game box it comes in is a standard size, so it stacks easily with our other board games. Only thing I would change is once its opened the hole cut out in the front that the spinner was nestled in (with inner cardboard now gone), makes it a big hole that things slide around in or the cards can slide out. I would have made that hole smaller or maybe a clear acete over top so we don't have to worry about that.
The game was easy to set up and my boys were able to put the cards exactly where it needed to go as it was clearly labelled on the big 32" x 32" mat. We loved the addition of the Action Cards in this game. So fun for my 3 competitive boys which they loved (and may or may not have caused some tears and screaming along the way - HAHA).
We really enjoyed this game and would definitely purchase this as a gift for another family to enjoy as well.
