Mabel's Labels Back-To-School Label Packs

These labels stand up to the wear and tear of kids. You can usually find coupon codes online so if you're interested in purchasing these, I'd strongly recommend doing a search for some discounts first since they can add up. I've never purchased them full price, because at the end of the day I do have a hard time spending that much on labels (even though I think they are great products).
The designs are cute and the site is very easy to use. They are durable and have survived in sweaty gym shoes and water bottles.

NIVEA Q10 Firming Body Oil

I got the opportunity to use Nivea Q10 firming body oil thanks to #chickadvisor and #Nivea #Q10BodyOil and #gotitfree. I don't think that I would have bought this product, so it was nice to try it out. I love the smell. I've been using the product for about 3 weeks so far, so it's hard to notice changes already. I will keep it up though and I have an open mind. Personally, I don't usually use body oil since my skin just sucks it up like a sponge. I guess that just means that I really need it. I was a little disappointed because it didn't spread very well when I applied. Maybe that's because my skin was just so dry. I do love the fact that my body doesn't feel like a slip and slide after applying.
The price point is a little high for someone like me who doesn't normally buy body oil but if my skin looks nice and firm by the time I finish the bottle, I may be converted.

NIVEA Q10 Anti-Age Hand Cream
I'm thrilled that I was selected to try Nivea Q10 firming and anti-age products thanks to #chickadvisor and #Nivea #Q10BodyOil and #gotitfree. Nivea hasn't been my "go to" brand because of a past product that I purchased and I was kind of like "meh"... +
I'm thrilled that I was selected to try Nivea Q10 firming and anti-age products thanks to #chickadvisor and #Nivea #Q10BodyOil and #gotitfree. Nivea hasn't been my "go to" brand because of a past product that I purchased and I was kind of like "meh" about. This experience totally changed my perception of Nivea though.
I really loved all three products that they included (this cream, body oil and body moisturizer). The smell was great! The product wasn't greasy at all and absorbed nicely. Whether or not my hands now look 10 years younger...well that's debatable, but I do think that if I continue using it they'll be nice and smooth for years to come. My hands are usually pretty dry since I wash them a lot so this size of a tube is nice to have in my drawer at work.

NIVEO Q10 Firming Body Lotion smells amazing and wasn't greasy or oily. I've only been using it for a few days so far and I can already notice a difference. It's light and has a really fresh smell. It moisturizes really well without being overly oily. I'm really thrilled that I was able to test this since I #gotitfree as part of the product test because I don't know if I would have thought to try it out. I have my two different "go to" brands that I usually buy (depending on my mood/sales) but this one is definitely moving up on my list! It's also not too floral smelling so it's easy to leave a bottle in our different bathrooms around the house for everyone to use (without complaining!). -

I got to #Tryitfree during the product review club.
The positives were: My 8-year old daughter loved them, it was healthy, the flavour was great (and included beets) and it was a quick and easy snack to bring on the go.
I had a hard time with the texture though. I really didn't like the consistency, even though the taste was great. I rather have a smoothie from a bottle (and not through that tiny nib) or yogurt...On the flip side, my daughter LOVED them and wished that we had hundreds! Also, I actually had a tough time opening it! My daughter had to open one of them for me!!...
I don't think that I would buy this often, since I try to buy snacks that the whole family can enjoy. Also, the packages that I saw come in 4-packs. Ideally, I prefer to buy packs of snacks in 6-packs or 10-packs so that it can last the week for us.

I was really excited that I was selected as part of the #BenJerrysNonDairy product review! I #gotitfree!
So technically, I'm a pescatarian but I'm always looking for opportunities to cut down on animal based products (like dairy). First of all - it was really hard for me to find this product in stores in Ottawa. Like really hard. I wish more stores got on board and sold these alternatives. I was finally able to find it at a Walmart that was off the beaten path.
I was sceptical but optimistic since I like Ben & Jerry's ice cream. I was pleasantly surprised! The taste was pretty great. It wasn't as creamy (obviously) but it was definitely more creamy than I thought it would be. I've played around with making homemade non-dairy ice creams and I always found that they are either really rock solid hard or super watery (ie. melted). I didn't have that problem with these and that made my day.
While I don't think that I would completely make the transition over and only buy these, I would definitely stock up on a few when they're on sale.

Usually a little pricier than most toothpastes, but snatch them up when they're on sale!
I've had tooth sensitivity off and on most of my life and this winter I had a few days where I was outside and the cold air was so painful on my teeth. I tried this and within about 10 days there was a noticeable difference. I'm definitely going to stock up on this when it goes on sale next time.
I do think it can be a bit pricey though. At the end of the day, I'd rather spend my money on something fun and not toothpaste. With that said, I do plan to buy this again when it's on sale!

I received this as part of my welcome pack with ChickAdvisor and I absolutely loved it!
The colour was great, it went on really smooth and it didn't chip very easily. I also skipped the top coat and only applied one thick coat of it. I was amazed at how long it lasted. I cook a lot and it survived beautifully.
Once in a while I splurge and buy a more expensive bottle of polish ($25 range) and I would compare the quality of this one to that brand. I was amazed when I saw the retail price. Definitely an amazing value.

I really loved these facial wipes.
The quality of the wipes were thick and didn't fall apart while being used. I also really liked that they mosturized as well and didn't leave my skin feeling dried out. The scent was very light and nice. Not at all over powering.
They removed my makeup really well. The only thing that they left behind was a bit of my waterproof mascara, but I really don't expect facial wipes to remove that gunky stuff off of my lashes.
While the price is a little more than the average brand, I think the quality is there and it's a good value. This wouldn't replace my eye makeup remover though, but it does wonders with removing foundation/concealer and all of that jazz.

This was my first experience with dry shampoo so maybe it just isn't for me...I bought this on sale so it was about half the price.
The smell was nice, but it was way too much when it was in my hair. The evening after using it, my hair felt extra greasy but it still had that smell in it. It didn't feel light or invigorating... I was really disappointed in this experience.
