CLEAN RESERVE H2EAU Brilliant Peony rollerball has a lovely floral scent with notes of Peony, Magnolia and Musk. It is water based and does not contain any alcohols.
I am sensitive to scent, so I only use natural scents that are gentle on sensitive skin. This perfume does not cause me any irritation and lasts a long time without being overpowering. The rollerball allows me to put it exactly where I want it to go. I like to put a dab a little on my pulse points.

YSL Lashclash Mascara promises more volume and up to 48 hours of wear time with intense colour.
I did not notice a big difference in the volume of my lashes, but they were darker. I found that the mascara made my lashes clump together a bit and there was a fair bit of fallout that I had to clean up a few times.
My lashes did feel soft and not hard like most mascara makes them. The colour did last a long time, but it also made it almost impossible to remove when I wanted to take it off. I used 2 different kinds of micellar water and a cream cleanser and it still wouldn't come off.
This mascara is not for me, but if you're looking for long wear this might be for you.

Aveeno® Calm + Restore Daily Face Moisturizer Mineral SPF 30 contains titanium dioxide and zinc oxide to protect from UVA/UVB rays. It has a gentle fragrance free, non comodogenic formula that keeps sensitive skin moisturized and helps even skin tone.
The moisturizer is lightly tinted and blends pretty well with my fair skin. It even helps reduce my redness a little.
My skin feels moisturized and I can feel a light barrier on my skin that is not greasy or unpleasant.
I also love that it is paraben-free, phthalate-free, dye-free, and alcohol-free. The tube is also made with 40% post consumer recycled material, which is a definite plus in my opinion.

McCafé® French Vanilla Medium Roast Coffee has the most delicious aroma! I couldn't wait to give this coffee a try.
I normally drink my coffee black, but with a flavoured coffee, I add a little milk and sugar (less than half a teaspoon) to help bring out the flavour. I did sip it black first and I couldn't really taste the difference between this and the original medium roast. With a touch of milk and sugar, I could taste a hint of vanilla that really enhanced my enjoyment.
I am always looking for sustainable options and I was happy to see that this coffee is 100% ethically sourced and made with Rainforest Alliance Certified Arabica beans. I also appreciate that it has no artificial flavours.

Decodables was so fun to play! It makes a great addition to any gathering. My 18 year old son played it with his friends at his Christmas gathering and they had a blast!
Although this is advertised as an adult game, I played it with my 10 and 13 year old as well. I just removed the NSFW deck of cards that is conveniently separated from the rest of the cards. We stuck to the easier green cards and had a lot if fun as well!

AMP Advanced Modified Polymer All Weather Window, Door and Siding Sealant was easy to use and dried really fast! It did not have a strong smell either, which I really appreciated. That is usually the worst thing about using sealant.
This sealant is UV resistant as well and can withstand temperatures of -17°C to 60°C, which is a definite bonus when using it on windows like I did. Although my windows were dry, it can be applied to wet or damp surfaces, so it is perfect for indoor or outdoor use.

Hero Mighty Patch Original worked fast to reduce the size and redness of my pimple.
After 6 hours or so of wearing the patch, it sucked out all the gross puss. Although it didn't completely get rid of my pimple, it really reduced the redness and made it much less visible.

I was excited for my son to try Zarbee's® Children's Complete Cough + Cold Syrup, because it has lots of natural ingredients, like honey, English ivy leaf, marshmallow root, turmeric, B vitamins, and zinc. It is also free of dyes, alcohol, artificial sweeteners and artificial flavours. I always prefer a natural product when it's effective and available.
My son, however, was not a fan of the look, taste or effectiveness of this cough syrup. He was put off by the colour and consistency of the syrup and really did not like the taste. I tried a tiny bit on my fingertip before giving it to my son and I personally liked the real grape flavour, even if it was a bit on the sweet side. He also thought that his cough actually got worse instead of better. I did not notice an improvement or decline in symptoms. It's difficult to judge the longer term effectiveness of this syrup, as my son refused to try it again.
One concern I do have is that the dosage cup that comes with the syrup only has a line for 10 ml when the dose is only 5 ml. As it also warns you not to give more than 2 doses in a day, this seems dangerous and increases the risk of accidental overdose. This is something that definitely needs to be fixed.
Although this didn't work for my son, it might be great for someone who is willing to try it more than once. Just be sure to use your own measuring device to avoid overdose.
