I always put my antiperspirant on before I go to bed, so to honestly review the DEGREE WOMEN® ULTRACLEAR BLACK + WHITE® PURE RAIN® ANTIPERSPIRANT STICK I did the same. The flowery smell was so overbearing I could barely get to sleep. The next evening before I went to play dodgeball the scent was gone, since my regular brand lasts for a solid 2 days I wasn't sure if that meant it was gone, so I put on more before I played. I didn't notice any increase or decrease in perspiration while playing. I normally use a brand twice the strength of this one, so that's the only up side. When I got home I tested to see if it would leave marks on my black shirt, and it did. I tested this with my normal brand the next day and it also left white marks, but only about half as bad. I had to throw my sleeping shirt in the laundry since I could smell the flowery scent from the night before and I haven't used it again since. I thankfully got to try this free and I would not buy this product again based on the overpowering scent alone. -

I received the DEGREE MEN® ULTRACLEAR BLACK + WHITE® FRESH ANTIPERSPIRANT STICK to try for free. I generally put my antiperspirant on at night before I go to bed so I did the same with this one to honestly compare. The smell was quite overbearing but I did like the cologne scent. It says 48 hours but by the next evening before Dodgeball I couldn't smell anything anymore (whether that means it was gone or not, I don't know). I didn't add anymore before playing and noticed no difference in perspiration, considering I normally use a clinical strength, I'd say that's a good sign (since this is about half as strong). It did leave white marks on my black shirt even after being on for 24 hours. I wasn't able to try it long enough to test on white clothes. Since the smell is so strong it's nice to throw on right before Dodgeball, but once it's used up I probably won't buy it again. -

I tried to use a knock-off brand once to save some cash, and I ended up with a bottle of crap I couldn't give away. I'll only ever use the St. Ives brand from now on. It goes on smooth and doesn't feel oily, greasy or too thick. The smell is also incredible. You can tell it's got natural ingredients because I found a bottle in the back of my cupboard that was expired and it didn't smell quite as good, but still totally useable. Love the way my face feels after using it, please never discontinue this product! -

When I quit my job I was looking for ways to save some cash. I love the St. Ives version of this scrub so I thought I'd save a buck or two by buying the cheaper brand... boy did I regret it. The scent was not very pleasant, it was definitely more chemically smelling than the original. If that was the only thing wrong I could have dealt with it, but the actual product felt like I was smearing liquid plastic over my face. This product is anything but natural feeling or smelling. I couldn't stand it after a week of use and caved and bought the St. Ives brand, which is 100000x better. I can't really comment on the effectiveness because I only tried it for a week, but I didn't notice any difference on my actual face, so I gave it an average rating. I'll never buy this again, I'm even having trouble giving it away for free. -

I had the opportunity to try Villaggio's Toscana Extra Soft Sausage Buns for free and let me tell you, I would have been happy to have paid for them. They are pretty much as advertised, extremely soft and naturally flavoured. So natural it almost didn't really taste like anything. I actually don't eat sausages, but I love salami and cheese sandwiches so that's what I used these for instead of my regular brown bread and it was definitely a treat. The bread sort of melts in your mouth and complimented my sandwich nicely. I also noticed a few of them missing, so someone else in the house is enjoying them as well! -

I liked the Almond, Sea Salt and Dark Chocolate PowerBar. I'm really glad I #gotitfree to try because had I seen "Plant Protein" in the store, I probably would have thought it tasted like dirt. Which is quite the opposite. It's just crunchy enough that it's satisfying, and it doesn't leave that gross protein taste in your mouth that a lot of other bars do. It was a great snack in the middle of the day that tided me over from breakfast to lunch. I prefer the other 2 flavors to this one, but everyone has their own tastes :) -

I quite enjoyed the Dark Chocolate Peanut Butter PowerBar. I'm really glad I #gotitfree to try because had I seen "Plant Protein" in the store, I probably would have thought it tasted like dirt. Which is quite the opposite. It's just crunchy enough that it's satisfying, and it doesn't leave that gross protein taste in your mouth that a lot of other bars do. I thought the flavor was a little average for peanut butter bars, but still tasted great. Will certainly be looking out for these at the store. -

I REALLY liked the Cashew, Salted Caramel and Dark Chocolate PowerBar. I'm really glad I #gotitfree to try because had I seen "Plant Protein" in the store, I probably would have thought it tasted like dirt. Which is quite the opposite. It's got the perfect blend of Sweet and Salty, it's just crunchy enough that it's satisfying, and it doesn't leave that gross protein taste in your mouth that a lot of other bars do. I will definitely be buying these soon :) -

All good clean fun I promise!
I received the email I’d get to try this free the day after craving a margarita. So naturally I abstained even longer, and boy was it worth it!!!! I tried out the "Tropical Margarita" recipe that was included, and this is definitely my new summer drink. I've bought all the ingredients to try out the other 3 recipes for the Margarita Cocktail Mix.
The mix is a little too sweet on its own, but that’s why it’s a mix!
It's also a really good value, but you need to price check before you buy. My local store sells it for nearly twice the price of Walmart.
I used to make my margaritas with plain limeade, but I'm totally a Mott's convert now.

Mott's Fruitsations +Fibre Unsweetened Tropical
Great on the go snack that gets me my fruits and veggies (and fibre)! The Tropical flavor was really nice, not too sweet, which was great. Texture was good, very consistent. I just wish there were more than two flavors!
