I was so excited to see that Canada Dry has removed corn syrup from this product line!!! Seeing cane sugar back on a label was wonderful, we were super excited to give it a try.
That's where the excitement ended. Nobody in our house can drink this. It's bitter beyond any product we've ever tried, with a bizarre after taste that is sweet. It doesn't mix well, it doesn't accept muddled berries, it's really bad.
We WILL be buying the other products in the line in hopes of finding a winner because we want to support them introducing better ingredients back in. This just isn't the one for us.

We've counted on Polysporin for years to keep us infection free. Works for kids at school or a husband at work, OR a clumsy me at home. I love that you need very little and it goes a long way. We also like to use it without a bandage, soaks in really quickly and protects us. We already had a tube but we're thankful to have received it for free to try too. -

I love the small of this hand soap! I'm really, really fussy about the smells in our bathroom. I love that it's gentle on my hands and leaves the washroom (and your hands) smelling lovely once you're finished.
My only complaint is if it doesn't fully get rinsed out of the sink the bubbles leave little blue marks on the sink when they dry.

So, I'm constantly battling soap scum in our showers. I've used different cleaners and nothing has totally worked. When I received these for free from ChickAdvisor, I decided to re-purpose one to the bathroom.
A little castile soap, baking soda and my new Scrunge and it KILLED the soap scum. Worked amazing and my arms weren't sore from using it.
I've also used it on our pots after a turkey dinner and on my glass top stove, it's worked well on all the surfaces.

Our applesauce loving girl was thrilled to receive the ability to try a new flavour! She'll eat anything mango or peach and this fit the bill. To her the mango taste was the strongest and she did mention that the texture was a little different from her other applesauces. She wasn't unhappy though, she just said it was "new".
These little packages are great for a quick breakfast on the way out the door or for a school snack. Not to mention a great addition to my baking. Often times I switch applesauce for butter in a recipe and these just give an added "kick" of flavour. We were given the opportunity to try this applesauce for free but will definitely be purchasing it again later.

This product does a good job of a few things, but none of them are really what it said it would do, so it's a bit challenging to figure out how to review it.
To begin with, it smells WAAAAAYYYY better than the other products in the line. It has a clean, maybe mint scent, reminds me of a salon brand on shampoo that (rhymes with "psychology"). It lathers up really well and I don't need much for my long, thinning hair. It arrived in the mail and I was so pumped to have been given this product and opportunity for free!
It removes ALL of the build up from other products without leaving my hair feeling stripped, though I did need to follow it with a conditioner because of the fly aways.
I also found that when I use this shampoo every wash my hair gets increasingly "tangly" and it's hard to brush. I think it's best to use it once a week or so, just to remove the product and life build up.
As for thickening I don't find it to make my hair thicker, though without the weight of product build up it does look fuller.
I'm recommending this to a friend who has thin hair because I think it'll give her a bit of a boost, maybe like a volumizing shampoo but it really doesn't make it thicker.

I didn't find this created ANY volume at all. I was excited to be given the opportunity to try it for free, but when it came the first thing that hit me was the off smell of it.
I decided that I'd be able to ignore the fragrance if it worked. It didn't make my hair look thicker AT ALL it made it greasy looking. Vichy usually makes products that I can be happy to use, this one though, won't be used at all.
It also doesn't specify if it should be used wet or dry. I'll be reaching out to the company, maybe I didn't understand it's usage and I should try again.

I workout hard daily. I'm often sweaty and often times that's followed by being quite smelly. This Degree deodorant that I received to review works wonders for reducing the "smell." I can't say it's completely eliminated, if I'm being honest I've never found a deodorant that keeps me smelling perfectly fresh.
However, this one works well and also doesn't leave any white streaks on my gear when I get changed.
I don't like the smell of this particular product but I'll happily purchase a new one with a different fragrance. This one just reminds me of my grandmother.

As always Degree is a cut above when it comes to antiperspirants. It's nice to have something for my husband to use that doesn't leave a white cast on his dark clothes and that I don't need to be concerned about it ruining his white shirts with yellow marks.
It has a nice light smell, masculine but not over powering like some men's products. He can still wear cologne with this and they don't clash. We received this product free as part of our review but will purchase on our own again.
