Parissa, you are now a permanent new addition to my household. This was my first time using hot wax at home and I don't think I will ever need to set foot in the salon again. I love that the wax is all natural, fragrance free and the best past is that the company is Canadian! I warmed the wax on my electric stove for about 10 minutes on low heat and it was ready to go. I was a bit concerned about the mess it would create considering there were no waxing strips to use but it all worked out well in the end. I applied the wax on my upper lip, chin and side burns. It removed ALL the hair in one go...there was no need to wax the same area twice. I made sure to hold the skin taut and pull the wax strip off quickly to get the best results. When this wax says it will work on short coarse hair (mine is horribly coarse), it WILL work on short coarse hair. If the facial hair you're trying to wax is long (ie. sideburns), I would recommend trimming it so the wax has better grip on the hair. I found this to be the most effective technique for me. After I was done, there was still tons of wax left over in the pot. I reckon I will get 8-10 wax treatments out of this pot. As the wax is not water soluble, I appreciated that the pack comes with a mini ultra sooth oil to remove any sticky wax residue. Do not skip the oil! It smells amazing! The peppermint and eucalyptus oil will calm your skin and help minimize the redness. Overall, incredible value for the money without paying crazy salon prices. It has now been four days and I don't notice any hair growth yet. If you're looking for salon results at home that is long lasting and affordable, I would encourage you to give Parissa a try. #40yearsofsmooth, #waxnaturally #parissawax #cleanbeauty #gotitfree #freeproduct -

I've been using this toothpaste for the past week and haven't really noticed any significant difference in terms of teeth whitening. Another competitive brand I use works way better. It did help me with some sensitivity issues but I still prefer my usual brand over this one. If you have minor issues with sensitive teeth and don't really need to whiten your teeth, this would be a good toothpaste for you. I also found that I had to use a lot more of this toothpaste to get that fresh and clean feeling after brushing. #trycolgate #gotitfree #freeproduct -

My child came home from school with a fever and headache. He finds it really difficult to swallow pills sometimes. Children’s TYLENOL® Easy Dissolve was so much easier for him to take and the best part was that it dissolves quickly on the tongue. No water required! My son said it tasted like candy. Within a few hours, his fever and headache subsided. I absolutely love that it is also sucrose free and dye free. The individual pouches are perfect for taking on the go as well. No need to pack medicine in pill boxes and water anymore. Honestly, I hope Tylenol comes out with an easy dissolve powder version for adults who also can't swallow pills easily. I will continue to buy this for my kids in the future. -

All the men in my family loved this shower gel. So much so that even the ladies started using it. It smells super fresh and gives a nice squeaky clean. The scent reminds me of the crisp clean air up in the mountains on a cool day. The suds and lather was incredible. Honestly, a little goes a long way! The slim bottle design is perfect for the tiny bathroom shelf and also makes it easier to hold in the shower when your hands are wet. It exfoliated really well and left the skin smooth and well moisturized. Bonus that it can be used as a face as well as a body wash! #TryIrishSpring #gotitfree -

I received a seven day trial of Double Serum to try out in exchange for my honest review. Clarins Double Serum dispenses from a dual-chamber and has a very pleasant smell that's not too overpowering. The serum soaked into my skin nicely and didn't leave behind any sticky feeling. After seven days, I can confirm that my skin feels a lot smoother and it evened out my skin texture a bit. However, I did not find my skin to be any more firmer or radiant. Maybe if I use it for a longer period, I would notice those changes. I say this is worth giving a shot and seeing if you get favourable results in the long run. #gotitfree #DoubleSerum #ClarinsSkinCare -

I was very excited for my baby to try this. He has been taking vitamin d3 drops since he was 4 months old and I was curious about the claims Orange Naturals made for soothing colic and promoting gastrointestinal health. The drops themselves are tasteless and can easily be mixed in juice or water. For newborns and under 1s, just administer the drops directly on their tongue. My baby had fewer colic episodes while on this and I felt confident giving this to my baby. I noticed his bowel movements were more regular and helped with his digestion. Vitamin D3 is an added bonus and great for his immune system. As for the price, it is a bit on the high end compared to other leading brands. The bottle will last you about 50 days if use just the recommended dose of 5 drops per day. #freeproduct #gotitfree -

Canada Dry does it again! This time they came out with a fantastic club soda in the flavour 'Triple Berry'. Not a whole lot of companies get the triple berry taste right but this was by far the best one I've ever tried. The fizziness was just the perfect amount and it tasted amazing on its own and mixed in with other drinks and in cocktails. Whenever I find myself craving sugary soft drinks, I reach for this because it's a healthier alternative, low sodium and no sugar. Finally a great tasting beverage I can enjoy on a warm day completely guilt-free! #freeproduct #CanadaDryTripleBerryClubSoda -

As a lifelong maple ice cream connoiseur, I was so excited to try this ice cream but unfortunately it was not meant to be. The ice cream tasted very creamy and delicious however if you're going to name your product Maple Crunch, I expect it to have a lot more maple flavour and a lot more crunch. The crunchy bits were delicious but there was not enough evenly spread throughout the ice cream. The super cute maple leaf centre had a very mild maple flavour. There was far too much vanilla ice cream that overpowered the maple flavoured centre and the crunchy maple bits. Overall, it felt like I was just eating vanilla ice cream with a little bit of crunch here and there. Chapman's makes great ice cream but they really missed the mark with this one. #TryChapmansCanada #gotitfree -

I was sent this #freeproduct for testing purposes in exchange for an honest unbiased review. As someone who has sensitive, acne prone skin, I was so excited to see that Neutrogena has come out with a fragrance-free face cleanser that is safe for daily use. The non-foaming gel consistency felt so soft on the skin and effectively removed all impurities, dirt, oil and even traces of makeup. I have definitely noticed a huge difference in my skin after using this. It keeps me looking fresh and hydrated without stripping my skin. The bonus is that I haven't had any new breakouts! I do wish it would lather a bit to give me that "deep cleanse" feeling but it's not a deal breaker for me. This product does what it says and that's all I need. -

I was sent a voucher to buy and test this product for free in exchange for my honest opinion. First, I was shocked by how expensive this milk was at almost $7 for one 2L carton. I don't think this would be an affordable purchase for anyone at this price point. I always drink my milk cold and straight from the glass. This milk has a very thin watery consistency and also had an unpleasant aftertaste which I did not like. It does not taste like ordinary dairy milk. I compared this with my usual homogenized milk and the a2 milk definitely didn't taste as good. I don't suffer from dairy insensitivity so I cannot attest to its claims that it doesn't cause discomfort for people with dairy issues. Overall thoughts...I think there are much better and cheaper alternatives on the market who do the same things this product claims to do. If you suffer from dairy issues, I would certainly encourage you to try it and see if it works well for you or not. #gotitfree #trya2milk -
