This is the second Schmidts product that I tested and once again I'm blown away by how well this stuff works. I'm am a chronic sweater so I'm constantly being embarrassed by sweat smells even sometimes with prescription strength deodorants or antiperspirants.
With Schmidts I apply to clean armpits before bed and know the next full day I will be stink free. It's wonderful not having to worry.
I will note that in the two scents I have tried they were both the baking soda containing kinds. Baking soda can be rough on the skin, especially when you first start. I didn't use it every day at first and now it doesn't both me anymore. Just don't ever apply it after shaving. No really, don't.

As soon as you open the package you are greeted with a rush of berry scent. It's so good.
As you steep the tea it makes a gorgeous brilliant pink from all the berries and hibiscus in it (no added colours).
The flavour is there! It's not a bland tea but has lots of berry taste. It's great heated but it's also perfect for an iced tea too. Freeze some into ice cubes so it doesn't water down your tea as the cubes melt.
If you like a brilliant fruity tea then I think you're going to really like this one. It has more taste than other berry ones I've had.

It's a nice cream for the face and rubs in nicely. It doesn't leave you greasy and shiny. My skin didn't react negatively to the cream and it felt soft. The sample size wasn't large enough to be able to use for a period long enough to evaluate for full benefits.
I did have one negative that would keep me from purchasing and that was the scent. It wasn't super heavy but I wasn't fond of it. A bit of a perfumey smell.

I received this for free as part of the #chickadvisorecobox and while I like the ingredients in this antipersipirant, it was not effective for me.
It might work for you if you are someone who doesn't usually sweat a lot. I'm the kind of person that if I used a conventional antiperspirant I'd need an RX level product to be confident.
The fresh sent was similar to a light baby powder scent and not heavy. I appreciated that. I also really like that this is a Canadian company.
The product was gentle on my skin and applied nicely.
So far though for natural antiperspirant or deodorant the only one that works for me. Check out my other reviews for that one. I'm on my second tube of it now.

Garnier Fructis Repairing Papaya Treat Shampoo for Dry, Damaged Hair

This is the kind of scent I want first thing in the morning when getting ready. It's like cutting into a fresh, ripe papaya and is refreshing.
The scent was lovely while washing but I liked that once I was done and my hair was dry I wasn't left with any heavy scent on my hair.
The shampoo lathers up nicely without using a ton of product and left my hair feeling clean and manageable. My hair had been bleached recently so it was a bit damaged and my hair feels soft after washing.
I would definitely consider buying this in the future.
I received this product for free as part of the #ChickAdvisorEcoBox from @GarnierCan @Garnier.Canada My thoughts are my own and honest. If I like or don't like a product I will say so.

I have problems with excessive sweat. I normally need prescription strength anti-perspirant to not stink. I have tried all kinds of natural deodorants and they all let me down.
I didn't expect much from this product but it proved me wrong. Wow!!!! It is AMAZING. It actually works! I'm sold. I have never in my life had a deodorant with this well. Remember it's a deodorant not an anti-perspirant so you'll still sweat but that's fine. The texture feels a tiny bit gritty when applying but once it's on it feels fine.
After a few days my arm pits did feel a tad irritated but after that I haven't had any trouble with sensitivity. I was testing the Lavender and Sage scent so if you're really sensitive maybe try their sensitive version.
The only thing I didn't like was that for the first ten minutes or so the scent is REALLY strong.
I find it works best when I apply at after showering at bedtime.
I'm going to buy this for sure when this sample is finished. #gotitforfree @chickadvisor #tryschmidtsnaturals. Thank you @schmidtsnaturalsb for giving me this free sample to try.

I am a fan of this product for nagging pain.
You know those cramps that stop you in your tracks? This has been keys for me to be able to get on with my day. For reference, my level of cramps are to the point I can't go to work because it's that bad if I don't take something for it. The Ibuprofen in these has been a definite go to over the years.
I also take it for bad headaches and it helps big time for that. Migraines it puts a dent in them for sure. If I catch it in time, it can even ward off a full blown migraine sometimes. Not that I don't need my RX migraine med but this definitely is a help. I keep this at home but also Motrin in my bag at all times where ever I am. This works so much better for me than products with Acetaminophen in them or Naproxen.
I just make sure to never take it on an empty stomach as that can be unsafe for this or any product with Ibuprofen. Drink something with it and have a little snack.

Neutrogena Hydro Boost Water Gel Sunscreen SPF 50

Neutrogena states the product has a "water-light feel and broad spectrum UVA/UVB protection. Infused with hyaluronic acid and glycerin, the formula instantly quenches dry skin." After using it I agree with that claim. It doesn't feel thick or greasy. It applies easier so you don't have white splotches on your face or elsewhere you applied. I burn really easy and had a good time while wearing this with the SPF 50 it has. It didn't leave me all shiny faced afterwards either.
Price point is around $15 so that seems fairly good for the size of the tube in comparison to other brands out there.
There is a light scent but it's not really that usual "sunscreen" smell. You know the one.
I would have no issue with buying this when I run out.
I received this product free to test and review. If I don't like a product, I'm not shy to state my displeasure.

I've been trying this out and honestly do like it. I apply it after cleaning and my face feels fresh and hydrated. I don't need tons of it to have that feeling. It absorbs quickly and there is no lingering scent. |Some hyaluronic acid containing products can sting a bit but I had no issues with this one.
The price point is around $20 to purchase and that's not bad since you don't need to apply lots.

Neutrogena tends to put out great products but the make-up removing wipes while they work, actually left my face feeling a bit irritated after using them for a few days. Plus there is a scent to it that I really didn't like.
The do however meet up to their claim to remove around 99% of makeup with one wipe. I'm sure these wipes will be fine for others.
The size of the package makes it handy for travel.
I received this product for free to test. Opinions are my own.
