Received this product for free in exchange for an honest review.
Both my husband and I tested this for almost a week. We were excited because we've never tried anything with charcoal before. The scent is gender neutral (although maybe a little on the masculine side), and reminds me of a line of "black pepper" toiletries we used at a hotel once.
As you can see from the picture, it's thankfully not black, but is a little grey. It looks like it goes on fairly clear, but neither of us has worn white yet so not sure if it leaves marks. It's fairly soft and smooth, and we both found it took quite a bit of product to get a decent application. I feel like we'll use up the stick in no time!
Overall verdict - my husband really likes this and was still smelling fresh by the end of the day. The price is his main deterrent. I will not continue using this as I did not find it as effective as my clinical strength deodorant.

Neutrogena® Bright Boost™ Overnight Recovery Gel Cream

Pros: this product smells amazing, and the gel format is cool, refreshing, and easily absorbed. I love how it goes on and my skin feels soft and moisturized. It doesn't feel heavy like you'd expect from a night cream, which is great because I don't want that greasy feeling when I lie down to sleep. I'm not worried about product rubbing off on my pillowcase.
Cons: Sure my skin is soft in the morning, but it usually is if I apply moisturizer before bed. I haven't noticed any increase in brightness, but maybe I haven't used the product long enough?

I think this might be my favourite herbal tea, and I'm not just saying that because it's widely available (i.e. at Starbucks, which is where I first had it). I have a sweet tooth, and I love that this tea is sweet without needing extra sugar. It's fruity and unique - flavours of hibiscus and tropical fruits, and quite different from the citrus herbals I'm used to. Bonus - it tastes great hot, iced, or iced with lemonade! Despite not having caffeine (I think I'd be a true addict if it did), it's an awesome pick-me-up and mood booster! -

As someone who has suffered from migraines and menstrual cramps for years, I'm always looking for new brands of pain relief! I don't mind the liquid gel format and find them generally easier to swallow than tablets, but I know some people, my parents included, who struggle with the size. I think liquid gels provide relief a little faster than tablets, but not by much - maybe 5-10 min earlier? I have yet to find a medication that starts working immediately, this brand included - to me it was the standard 30min before I felt relief. I also didn't notice any difference between Motrin and my go-to brand of ibuprofen, so I can't say it's worth the extra cost. As expected, I found it worked better for cramps and muscle pain vs. headaches (Tylenol/acetaminophen work better for those). All-in-all, worth a shot but they weren't good enough to make me switch brands. -

I'm a fan of chocolate (including chocolate milk, milkshakes, and ice cream) so I was very excited to try this! Unfortunately, the consistency is SO chalky - I may as well have made the shake myself with powder, it really tasted like it hadn't dissolved fully. I actually had to drink this in two sittings because it was not enjoyable. The protein content is great, but for the flavour I'd say save your money (and the environment) and buy the powder to mix your own. -

After trying the chocolate flavour (and preferring chocolate to caramel) I had low expectations, but was for the most part pleasantly surprised. This protein shake does not have a chalky consistency. The caramel flavour is intense but really good - at first sip. I find it has a bit of a bitter aftertaste, but it's not that noticeable. What IS noticeable is the feeling of fullness afterward - 30g of protein is a lot and definitely helped tide me over for a few hours! -

I received a free sample of SNAPPLE DIET LEMON TEA in exchange for my honest review.
As someone that's been on a strict diet for months (and as a result not having any sugar), I was very excited to find a drink that is allowed!
I'll be honest, while it tastes like tea, I'm really not a fan of aspartame and its fake aftertaste. So for anyone that doesn't mind the taste of aspartame, I'd definitely recommend this as a treat!
Personally, I'd prefer this as an unsweetened tea. I also find the price is a little steep - it's more of an impromptu purchase as opposed to something I'd stock up on (but if Costco sold it in bulk that'd be a different story!).

I received a sample of NEUTROGENA HYDRO BOOST WATER GEL SUNSCREEN SPF30 for free in exchange for my honest review.
I wish we had better weather in the city so I could properly test out the effectiveness before the review deadline, but I tested it before working out in the backyard and while I wasn't in the sun for long, I can say that the product is definitely lightweight and absorbed very quickly.
I like the light fresh scent (definitely "unisex") and am so excited for summer to arrive so I have a real excuse to use this!

I received a sample of NEUTROGENA HYDRO BOOST HAND GEL CREAM free in exchange for my honest review.
The "hand gel cream" is a very accurate description! It's lighter and thinner than a regular hand cream, which for me is perfect! It absorbs quickly and leaves my hands feeling soft but not "creamy", so this is a great moisturizer to have at my desk - it means I can get back to typing on my computer right away!
I've seen how great hyaluronic acid is for my skin so I love that Neutrogena has incorporated it into the Hydro Boost line.
I love the light, fresh scent - it's definitely "unisex" and I need to bring this to the office ASAP before my husband steals it from me!

I received NEUTROGENA ALL-IN-ONE MAKE-UP REMOVING CLEANSING WIPES SINGLES free to try in exchange for my honest review.
I really do love these wipes, they do a fantastic job of removing my makeup without me having to scrub hard. They also leave my skin feeling soft and smooth!
The only downside as other people have mentioned is the packaging - I feel like there's so much waste with individual packaging. However, they're super convenient to keep in my purse or overnight bag instead of bringing a whole pack. So, I feel like I'll stick to my regular wipes for every day use because there's less waste, but I'd buy a pack of these to have handy for beach days and weekend getaways this summer :)
