I have to say I was mildly disappointed with this one. The instructions were super easy to follow and it was very quick to get on the table. However, there were not enough spinach pieces in the packaging to call this "spinach florentine". I had to make up for the "loss" by adding some peas and corn. It tasted decent but was nothing different from the pasta I usually make at home. We had leftovers unfortunately and noticed that after some time, the penne pasta had absorbed all the sauce and doubled in size. You lose a lot of the texture and taste if you're thinking of pre-cooking this and taking it to school or work. Very thankful I #gotitfree to try! -

I'm not a huge fan of traditional mac and cheese so I was really excited to try this as it looked extremely appetizing in the photo on the package. The instructions were very clear and easy to follow and the recipe is very versatile...I added fresh corn, peas and carrots and it turned out delicious! This dish did not last very long on the table and was gone in seconds. I loved the unique pasta shape as did the kids. However, I did feel like it called for a bit too much water because the sauce did not thicken enough to my liking even after letting it sit for 5 minutes after cooking. Maybe next time I will reduce it so the sauce is thicker. Very glad I #gotitfree to try and will be buying again. -

This is hands down one of my favourite brushes to apply powder makeup with. It's super soft, fluffy and applies powder like a dream. I have not had any of the bristles shed on me so I hope it will stay like this over time. It's the perfect size and compact enough for travel. I mainly use this with powder foundation but it also works nicely with blush and bronzer. I'm so glad I #gotitfree to try! -

I have used many powder foundations in the past and never saw one that I liked. While I'm loyal to liquid foundations, this one actually surprised. me. It's a super fine powder that almost feels like silk and goes on very smooth and evenly. I would say it has medium coverage and it's not buildable, so if you're looking to go natural or for a "barely there" look, you will love this. I also love the container this comes in...it's mess free and easily to control how much powder you want to use at a time. It's rather pricey for what it is but I would definitely recommend that you give this a shot! -

First things first. This is a moisturizing silicone-free primer. As someone who has been using silicone primers all her life, I was really unsure about this but was ready to give it a shot...and it absolutely blew me away! This primer smells amazing, like a yummy tropical cocktail. It glides on smoothly and evenly and a little bit goes a long way. I wouldn't say it's extremely moisturizing so if you have really dry skin, use a good moisturizer before you apply your primer. This definitely helped my powder foundation stay on longer throughout the day and hardly any touch-ups were required. I'm absolutely thrilled that Nude By Nature is a cruelty free brand and can't wait to explore the other amazing products in this line. #gotitfree #loveNudebyNature #NudebyNatureCA -

I was sent the Luxurious Red colour which I am thrilled I #gotitfree to try! I didn't have much luck with the lightener I used prior to applying this colour so I knew my dreams of having vibrant fire-y red hair were dashed. I did however end up with a subtle dark red colour which didn't look too bad on me. The only downside is that it's semi-permanent and fades fast so once it washes out, I'll be left with light brown strands. Also, the mixture was quite thick so it was kind of difficult and messy to apply. I think this would be good for people who already have blonde hair. For brunettes looking for subtle dark red hues, this might also be for you. -

The instructions were easy to follow however I found the quantity was not enough to lighten all of my shoulder length hair so I decided to lighten just the strands. Since my hair is already so dark, I didn't find that it lightened my hair much at all, which was very disappointing since I wanted to dye my strands red afterwards and wanted it to be a vibrant colour. I'm glad I #gotitfree to try but feel like it would work better on people whose hair is already blonde. -

I'm a sucker for anything lavender scented so I was really excited to test this out. I used this on my baby's clothes, the family's clothes as well as on our towels and they came out smelling amazing and static-free every time. I did find it a bit thick compared to other fabric softeners out there and which it were a bit more runnier. #gotitfree -

These diapers are a little pricey but I can see why. They're organic, made without harsh chemicals and the fit is great and not too bulky. We experienced no diaper rash or leaks with these. I think I like these better than the other brands I have tried. I was happy to see that my baby was comfortable, dry and rash free in these. #gotitfree -

These are one of my top favourite wipes I have ever used. They're strong, sturdy, durable and don't tear when being used. It's lightly fragranced ( I'm not a fan of the smell) but I don't care because it doesn't linger anyway. It contains no dangerous chemicals which is perfect for sensitive skin...there was no irritation or reaction of any kind on my baby's skin! Bingo. I just wish it weren't so pricey so I will look for these on sale once we run out. I'm so thrilled I #gotitfree to try out. -
