I received this product for free from ChickAdvisor in exchange for my honest review. I like this product! Although I'd heard about the benefits of micellar water from beauty influencers on YouTube and Instagram, I had never taken the plunge and purchased it before receiving this product. It has an understated fragrance that I enjoy. I think that it's good value for the money; you get a lot of product, you only have to use a small amount at a time, and most other brands charge more money for the same amount of product (this one goes for about $9). However, I'm not sure if I could justify spending $9 on a bottle of water for myself! That being said, it does a great job at removing makeup. I've always opted for makeup remover wipes, which are cheap but I go through a lot of them and it feels wasteful to constantly be throwing the wipes away. I like that this micellar water makes the makeup removal process more environmentally friendly, as I can use a reusable cloth every time and don't have to throw anything in the garbage. I was especially impressed by its ability to remove mascara. All in all, this is a good product that I would consider purchasing in the future! -

I received this product for free from ChickAdvisor in exchange for my honest review. I enjoyed using this product! I wasn't previously familiar with Nivea products, but this one gave a great first impression. I like how compact the tub is despite containing a large amount of cream; it fits nicely in my bathroom cupboard. I appreciate how much product is in the tub and the fact that you only have to use a very small amount to notice a difference on your skin. This tub will last me a long time! The retail price (around $13) seems very reasonable to me for what you get. The cream itself has a pleasant, understated fragrance; if you are sensitive to fragrance then this might not be the product for you, but otherwise it isn't too noticeable. It has a nice, cooling effect on the skin, and is a pleasing texture. I applied it on the tops of my hands and they immediately felt smoother and soothed. It doesn't feel greasy, although I did feel some residue on my hands that I felt like I wanted to wash off. On the face, it adds a subtle brightening effect to my skin, and evened out dry patches. My main concern is that the cream didn't seem to fully absorb into my skin for an extended period of time (it took about 10 minutes to absorb). I can see why this is one of Tessa Virtue's favourite products, since it would be excellent for when the cold weather makes your skin cracked and dry. All in all, I recommend this product to anyone who wants to try an affordable multipurpose skin cream! -

I #gotitfree to try as part of the Product Review Club. I mixed the blue raspberry flavouring with white cranberry juice and a splash of vodka, and it was very tasty! I loved how fruity and refreshing it was. If I were to change anything about the product, it would be the sugar content. I found the drink far too sweet, especially after mixing it with fruit juice. I think the amount of sugar could be cut in half and the flavour would be improved. I like this product's versatility, as you can make both alcoholic and nonalcoholic drinks with it, and you can combine whatever other flavours you want with it (next time, I'm going to try it with apple juice). I would recommend this to anyone who likes fruity drinks, or who has nostalgic memories of drinking slushies as a kid (it tastes just like one!). I think it would be the perfect addition to a backyard patio party with your girlfriends! -

I received this product for free for review purposes (#gotitfree). Firstly, I love the packaging. It's thin and compact, making for easier storage, but it still contains the same amount of product as a regular hairspray bottle. This product only works for me in certain circumstances. I tried using it on my curled hair, but it was unable to hold my curls all night. I have found success using it to keep my baby hair and flyaway out of my face, which has been really helpful when I go to the gym. As a former competitive dancer, I'm no stranger to hairspray, and I appreciated how this one didn't leave my hair looking greasy or feeling crunchy. However, I wish it had a slightly stronger/longer-lasting hold. -

I'm in my 20s, and yep, I still use this product. Nope, I don't have a baby, but this product is just as effective on adult skin. It has that familiar, nostalgic scent from childhood that just makes you feel good. The lotion itself is creamy and makes your skin feel super soft. It's a great value for an excellent product; you don't have to spend tons of money on a high-end body lotion at Sephora! :) -

I'd had my MacBook Air since April 2014 (wow, 4 years!) and it's held up perfectly. It was my first laptop purchase, and I knew I wanted to get a Mac because they are known for their great editing and creative capabilities. I chose the Air over the Pro because it is slimmer, less heavy, and does not have the capability to overheat. The biggest downsides to this computer are the fact that it doesn't have a disc/DVD player, and it doesn't have a ton of internal storage. That being said, I can't complain because I've had it for such a long time with virtually no problems. It has definitely served me well, especially considering how often I use it as a student! -

These work perfectly for me. I picked them up at Dollarama for under $4 and I've had them for at least 2 years now. I do a lot of baking so that means a lot of measuring, and these work just fine. You can keep them connected with the ring so that you don't lose any of them in your drawer. Can't go wrong with Betty Crocker! -

I got all of the products in the tea tree oil collection to test for review purposes (#gotitfree). This one was my favourite. Like the shampoo and body wash, it has a fantastic, invigorating scent, and it stays in your hair long after you wash it. I normally skip conditioner (who has the time?) but I haven't ever since receiving this product. It just makes my hair so silky smooth and shiny! It's a bit more expensive than I generally like to pay for hair care, but I think it's worth it considering how much product you get and that it is an ethical, all-natural brand. -

As with the other products in the collection, this body wash smells fantastic. It leaves my skin feeling cleansed and firm. I usually prefer my body washes to be foaming, so that I can use them for shaving my legs, but this one unfortunately does not foam up. Regardless, it's a good quality product from an ethical beauty brand, and it's a fairly large size for the price. #gotitfree -

I got this product free (#gotitfree) for review purposes. I really enjoy using this shampoo! I find the tea tree scent really invigorating (almost aromatherapeutic!) and it stays in my hair long after I wash it. The packaging is also gorgeous; it's the kind of product that you want to display in your bathroom, and it looks nice with the rest of the collection. I can feel it smoothing my hair while I use it in the shower, and it gives my hair a lovely sheen when combined with the conditioner. I can tell that this shampoo is made with high-quality, natural ingredients, and that is something that I appreciate when it comes to beauty/hair products. The only thing that would prevent me from purchasing this product is the price, since I generally spend no more than $5 on a bottle of shampoo. But I think this one might be worth it! -
