I wasn't sure about trying a new deodorant, as I am pretty loyal to my current brand. However, I was pleasantly surprised by the Dove 0% Aluminum Deodorant. It goes on smoothly, and has a very subtle scent (I tried Cucumber & Green Tea). It dried quickly on my underarms, and I felt protected for the day. I was most pleased that it did not leave any white marks on clothing, as it goes on clear. I am not sure it masks smells entirely for extreme sweating, so took off 1 point for effectiveness. I will continue using. -

I enjoyed using the Neutrogena Hydro Boost Water Gel Sunscreen. It is a much lighter feel than my usual cream sunscreen.
Being a water gel, it absorbs very quickly and efficiently into the skin, and leaves a light feeling. It was no problem to put on make-up soon after applying the sunscreen.
I was not in the sun for a long period during use, so cannot speak to how well it protects against burning.
The price is on the higher end for such a small bottle. I only used it for my face, so only needed to use a little bit to get full coverage. However, to use for entire body, it could get expensive.

The price is reasonable for a specialty hand cream. The size of the bottle is small, but you only need a small amount to get good coverage.
There is a slight scent when applying the Hydro Boost Hand Gel Cream. I could personally do without the scent, but it was not overwhelming, and didn't linger on my hands afterwards.
I liked that the cream absorbed quickly and my hands did not feel greasy afterwards.
The only thing I am not convinced on was its longevity. Over the day, I felt that my hands were feeling drier than they usually do with my regular hand moisturizer.

Loved the little individual packets of the All-in-One Make-up Removing Cleansing Wipes. Can throw in my purse of bag and take with me on the go.
The wipe size is quite large and the material feels very durable.
The wipe worked extremely well, even on my eye make-up.
It was very gentle on my face and eyes, and I did not feel any stinging.
I was very pleased with how well these wipes worked and quickly too.
Best make-up removing wipe I have tried.
Picture attached of all the make-up removed.

I was able to try the new Caramel Brownie. The colour of the ice cream was nice. The brownie pieces are very small, but there was enough in the container.
I was impressed with how smooth and creamy the ice cream is. Very enjoyable. The flavour of the Caramel Brownie was nice, but I am not sure it is a favourite of mine.
The ice cream tastes sweet. I would not guess that this is a low calorie ice cream at all. It truly compares to regular ice cream.
I would try Breyers Delights again. The store I purchased this at sold it at a very high price, so I would wait for a sale, as the value is not really there for me since it is such a small container. Saying that, I did find the 125 mL serving to be satisfying, and didn't need to have more.

I enjoy John Frieda products so was looking forward to trying the Go Blonder Lemon Miracle Masque.
The first thing I noticed when applying was the smell. It was slightly like lemon scent, but mixed with something. I didn't enjoy the scent, but it didn't last long and once applied I didn't notice any remaining scent.
I decided to apply the masque to all my hair, not just the ends. The amount of product needed was quite minimal to do this, which was good as it applies easily and gets all over. The bottle then allows for several applications.
My hair seemed softer and more manageable after the masque.
I will continue using.

I was sent Seventh Generation Laundry Detergent, Alpine Falls scent to try and review #gotitfree. I was not previously familiar with this product, but was quite eager to try as it is all natural.
Unfortunately, my bottle was opened and had leaked during delivery. I didn't lose too much liquid though.
I really enjoyed the scent, quite lovely. I've used it several times on the laundry. I don't find that the scent stays on the clothing once cleaned. The clothes appear clean, so I would say that this product does its' job.
I had a hard time figuring out how much liquid to use. The instructions seemed to indicate that the cap would be marked for the different levels, but I couldn't locate any marks on my cap.
I like that the Seventh Generation Laundry Detergent is good for sensitive skin.
I would buy this product again, but would likely wait for a sale. Cost per load is fairly average, but considering this is a natural option, it is worth it.

I was sent Seventh Generation Glass Cleaner, Sparkling Seaside scent to try and review #gotitfree. I was not previously familiar with this product, but was quite eager to try as it is all natural.
The size of the bottle is fairly large. It is easy to hold and carry. The nozzle is easy to use and comfortable as well. The spray covers a wide area.
I liked the scent very much. It is light, and no scent remained after cleaning.
In terms of cleaning ability, I was very impressed. The Glass Cleaner did a great job on my mirrors, and especially on the bathroom faucets. It did not leave any streaks or marks.
It worked well and quickly. I didn't need to reclean any areas.
I would buy this product again.

I was sent Seventh Generation All Purpose Cleaner, Fresh Morning Meadow scent to try and review #gotitfree. I was not previously familiar with this product, but was quite eager to try as it is all natural.
The size of the bottle is fairly large. It is easy to hold and carry. The nozzle is easy to use and comfortable as well. The spray covers a wide area.
The fragrance is fairly light, but pleasant. I did not find any scent to linger after cleaning, which was a slight disappointment as I like that "fresh, clean smell".
In terms of cleaning ability, I was very impressed. The All Purpose Cleaner did its' job well, and got rid of tough grime easily. I used a larger amount of liquid than I would with my regular cleaning product though. Afterwards, I could visible see that the area was clean, so I was happy with that.
I would buy this product again.

I received the Vichy Liftactiv Serum 10 Supreme for free to try and review.
I quite liked the modern appearance to the container, though found the shiny silver outer packaging made it harder to read the box. I was disappointed that there were no instructions included. I was not sure exactly how to use the serum, and how much.
I greatly dislike the applicator. I found it to be messy as the length of it gets covered in serum, but you only use the dropper to put a bit on your finger; however the extra serum would drip off the applicator. Also, the applicator doesn't give enough serum to do your entire face, so you need to reinsert and pump a couple times. On occasion the pump button would stick in the down position, so it was not filling the applicator well. I think this product would greatly benefit from a regular spout.
There is a nice light scent to the serum, nothing long-lasting once applied.
I found it to absorb well. I did not feel greasy afterwards, but was not hydrated either.
After using daily for one week, I don't see any noticeable improvement to any fine lines. My skin was not illuminated and plumped as the product claims. Saying that, Vichy says results after 10 days, so perhaps I need to continue use for a few more days.
I find the price is too high for this brand and for a serum, and for me, the product was not effective. I would not purchase it.
