I have never tried Motrin for cramps before so I wasn’t sure what to expect. The timing of getting these sent to me from chickadvisor for free was perfect!
I had some cramps starting in the morning before work and all I wanted to do what lay in bed with a heat pad. Instead I took one Motrin and by the time I got to work (about 15-20 minutes) my cramps were gone. Even my bloating seemed to have chilled out. By the time my shift was done 9 hours later, my cramps were starting up again but I had made it through work with no hassle and no cramps.
So overall, these did work more effectively and faster than the other pain medication I have tried. I also only had to take one pill, which was excellent. Based on how well these worked, this bottle will last quite a while too, so even though they seem a bit pricey, it should even out.

AVEENO Cracked Skin Relief CICA Ointment

I found that the applicator just made it a pain in the butt to apply and I ended up using my hands to apply it. The product feels good and light on damaged skin, but I didn’t find that it was anything special.
It does not have fragrance, which is a huge bonus. It goes on clear and doesn’t feel greasy, but I’ll be sticking to the balm over the ointment, as I find it to be a better value and just as effective. It’s not a bad product at all, I just found that the applicator was not for me and I didn’t notice a vast difference between the balm and ointment to be worth the hassle.

AVEENO Cracked Skin Relief CICA Balm

This balm has no fragrance and only a very light smell from the ingredients. The texture is very slick and goes on thin, so a little bit goes a long way. You will need to put on socks or slippers, or make sure that you won’t be walking around anytime soon after applying this to your feet, as it does take a bit to absorb.
I did notice a huge difference in my skin after the second day of using it. It also did not hurt or burn my cracked skin, but felt like it was protecting it. For the price of the tub and how little is needed, this is a great value for how effective it was.

I really wanted to love these as I am always on the lookout for healthier alternatives. I was hoping that these would be a great substitute for nacho chips, but I found that their texture was a bit hard for me tl get past. The flavour is decent and they make for a filling snack. I did receive these for free and I’m glad that I got a chance to try them. My kids did love them and found that they were easy to dunk in even the thickest dips. I would have no issues using these for the kids in the future instead of their beloved chips (and they wouldn’t argue either!) but for myself, I’ll keep searching -

I received this product for free (along with the matching lotion!) and I was pleasantly surprised to find my new go-to product! This stuff is seriously amazing. It is a fairly thick gel (so only a small amount is needed) and it cleans even the toughest makeup off my face the first time around.
It is also unscented and (being the klutz that I am) I greatly appreciate that it doesn't sting my eyes when I accidentally get some in there while washing my face. It leaves my skin feeling clean without the harsh alcohol burn that I find is in a lot of make up removing products.
I did notice in the morning that my face looked at lot better and, as this product is so gentle, I did notice that my face looked less rough at night after taking my makeup off because I wasn't having to scrub my face.

I received this moisturizer (along with the matching cleanser!) for free! I started working it into my morning routine right away. This moisturizer comes in a little bottle that doesn't take up a lot of space (which is really nice compared to some of the larger jars from other companies). The moisturizer is unscented so I don't have to worry about it being overpowering.
I do have to say that this product made it really easy to take care of my face. With the added SPF 30 already worked into it, I didn't have to do anything extra before leaving the house. It goes on smooth and only a small amount is needed for complete coverage. It soaks in quickly without living any sort of residue on my face.
I did find that between the cleanser and the moisturizer that my face has started to look less red (especially in the morning when I wake up), which is a huge bonus.

I got this shampoo free (along with the matching conditioner and body wash!) and was immediately in love with the smell! The packaging is beautiful and the bottle stands up nicely in the shower.
When I went to actually use it, I did find that it didn't feel great. It lathered nicely and a small amount goes a long way, but it made my hair feel a bit stringy and dry. I did find that it worked well with my greasy roots though and even the next morning my hair didn't look or feel gross. I did expect a bit more from a hydrating shampoo. It wasn't bad but it wasn't great. The smell is amazing though. I'm still sniffing my hair!

I got this conditioner free (along with the matching body wash and shampoo!) and I was super excited to hop in the shower and try it out. It smells wonderful (I am still sniffing my hair!), the bottle stands up nicely in the shower, and I love what the company stands for.
I will start off by saying that this wasn't one of those super magical conditioners that turn my long hair velvet smooth. It did a decent job of hydrating it without making it feel gross though. My hair was easy to brush as soon as I got out of the shower and when it dried it felt very soft. It's not the best conditioner that I've ever used but for the price point, how environmentally aware the company is, and how beautiful my hair feels...it's worth it!

I got this body wash free (along with the matching shampoo and conditioner!) and was pretty excited to try it. It started out promising because it comes in a pump bottle (huge bonus) and I love what the company stands for. Then came time to actually use it.
The smell was a bit off compared to the shampoo and conditioner and had a weird finish. It felt like a very generic soap. It lathered averagely, and didn't seem to do anything special to help my dry skin. It didn't leave a residue that I noticed and it wasn't BAD...it just wasn't great either. My skin didn't feel super soft and the smell (thankfully) didn't linger on my skin.

I do have to say that I was pretty excited to try this product for free! I'm a sucker for a good face mask, but I do find that they get to be pretty messy (I'm one of those people that tends to drip things or forgets that they have a face mask on and next thing you know I've spread it everywhere) and so this seemed like an excellent solution. I have now been using this product every night and I find that it really changes how my face feels in the morning, which is a huge difference from the normal face masks that I was using. Usually they feel great as soon as you rinse them off but the next morning my skin feels like normal. As soon as it soaks into your skin it has that really smooth and soft feeling that I usually get after taking off a rinse off face mask. My only major issue with this product is the smell. I found it to almost have a soapy smell, which was surprising for an Aveeno product. Once it had soaked in though, the smell went away and wasn't an issue. The amount that is needed is quite minimal (especially compared to a rinse off mask) and I love the pump bottle that it comes in. -
