We received both the regular face soap dispenser and the refill pouch (this). As I reviewed with the soap, we were really hopeful it would work for one or all of our family. I use an Aveeno product daily and can't be without it so I expected this would be the same.
Unfortunately it isn't. The soap leaves our skin feeling poorly and I dislike one of the ingredients.
However, I LOVE that Aveeno is creating refill products. They're thinking about the environment and that makes them still a win for us.

I wanted to love this soap so much. In fact, with my deep reliance on another Aveeno product and how successful they were for our daughters when they were babes, I was expecting it to work well.
The skin feel for this is rotten. My husband tried it and described it as leaving his skin "sticky and slimy and worse than before I washed it". Skin care is so individual, maybe someone else we know will like and enjoy it.

I wanted this mascara to be amazing. I wanted to love it and be impressed, sadly I was not. I didn't like the brush, it was cumbersome and big. I found it quite clumpy and even leaving a decent amount of dry time between coats it didn't layer well.
It DID give me a little volume, but it transfered too easily. There's no length to it. I did like how well it washed off though. Maybe after it sits a little the formula will change but for now, it's a no for me.

We were really excited to try these. My husband in particular who is our resident "ice cream connoisseur" was happy to dig into the box. They're great! We did notice a slight bit of an aftertaste, which isn't uncommon with sugar alcohols. They were still enjoyed and we may consider a re-purchase. The only issue we had was that they had a "may contain" statement that wasn't on the website, so there was one person that we were unable to share with. -
Voilà By Sobeys/Safeway Grocery Delivery & Curbside Pickup
As a family with some very serious medical issues, we use grocery pick-up options very often. I'm often unable to manage going to the store and this is always such a blessing. It can also be a challenge because many, "big box" locations don't pay... +
As a family with some very serious medical issues, we use grocery pick-up options very often. I'm often unable to manage going to the store and this is always such a blessing. It can also be a challenge because many, "big box" locations don't pay attention to the quality of the produce. More than once we've received poor food or errors.
Our order through Voila with Safeway was excellent. The quality of the produce was excellent, the staff were kind and my husband, who picked up for me, found it quite simple.
My only complaint was that the information on their site as to what was available in store was in accurate. Some of the food they said was available isn't even sold at our location. This resulted in my order being shorted more than the usual number of things and also, it caused an issue with my voucher code. I was quite upset, however, I reached out to Voila and VERY quickly they fixed the problem and refunded me the amount.
We'll absolutely use it again.

We really loved these bars. Chapman's NEVER fails us when it comes to quality ice cream. They are our family's preferred brand all the time, so when we received the opportunity to try these bars for free, we jumped on it. A flavour we'd never had before peaked our interest. These have a great, yummy ice cream center but we're not certain they need the chocolate outer. We all love Cookies & cream ice cream as is, and would love a bar that way.
Also, we'd really, REALLY like to see a version made with their gluten free cookie and cream ice cream so that other members of our family could enjoy them too.
Overall though, these bars make a perfect treat.

Neutrogena® Hydro Boost Night Pressed Serum

I wanted to like this. I love the other Hydro Boost serum and was really hoping this would work as well. The problem is - I don't know if it will because it smells SOOOOO bad. It's floral, and powdery & the scent doesn't go away even after time on my face. It reminds me of the dusting powder my grandmother used to keep on the back of her toilet.
I'm sad. I received it for free and was hoping so much that it would help heal my horribly dry skin. Unfortunately, due to how strong it smells, I'll never know.

Neutrogena® Hydro Boost Hyaluronic Acid Serum

I was impressed when I first opened the Serum that it really didn't have a scent. So many of the skin care products I've tried that say "unscented" or "fragrance free" have a yucky smell anyways. This is just neutral and stays that way on my face (which is NOT the same for the cream).
I'm finding even without a moisturizer on top it's stopping my skin from flaking and leaving it feeling more hydrated. I think my only complaint is that is dries sticky a little bit.
I'm thankful I received it free to try because I honestly don't know if I would have otherwise purchased it.

To start with this product IS fragrance free. They absolutely follow through with the claim that there is no scent. After you wash your hands they are clean but there’s no residual smell.
It was met with mixed reviews in our home, my husband didn’t like it he felt his hands stayed sticky after washing. Our eldest daughter is indifferent and will use it, our youngest daughter loves it. She likes that it has no smell and enjoys the foaming soap. I also didn’t really like it as I too feel like it’s hard to rinse.
It’s not a bad product but not one I’d purchase again. However, if you need fragrance free this absolutely is!

I was a little sceptical when we receive this product to review. I have smelled many products that claim to be fragrance free that aren’t. This one really is fragrance free and if scent is a problem for you then I’m confident you’ll really like this. The remainder of the product is also good. It performs just like every other dial product does. -
