I received this product to try for free in exchange for my honest review. I normally use spray deodorants so I definitely loved that this was a spray and not a roll on or stick. It's easy to use, doesn't clog, and dries down really fast on skin. It did not leave any residue on my dark clothes and smelled really nice - very clean and fresh. It can be strong when you initially spray it but it dissipates quickly. I used it before working out and it held up which was great. It also lasts through a full day of work and going out. A bottle should last a couple of months of daily use so it's not a bad price for the product. I'd buy this spray again. -

I was so excited when I received this #freeproduct to test out cause I'm always looking for a good brow filler and I liked their brow gel. I have thin eyebrows that don't grow very fast so I need a product that lets me add thickness and definition without looking too fake. For me, this product was just so/so but YMMV.
PROS: I normally use powder but this pencil-style was very easy to switch to and the packaging was nice. It twists up and down smoothly and stays in place/ doesn’t break off when you’re drawing with it. I like that by adjusting the pressure when you draw you can make lines subtle or bold depending on what look you want. The thin tip makes filling in brows easier and majority of the time the product glided on smoothly. The spoolie is FANTASTIC and blends any harsh lines out so nicely! I will use it regularly even when the brow pencil runs out.
Cons: It does not last 12hrs. I have an oily T-zone so sometimes the inner part of my brow would smudge after a few hours even when I used my Laura Mercier powder/ eyebrow gel to set them. This was more often if I drew lighter lines/ used softer strokes- bold lines are definitely more smudge-proof! I also feel like It’s hard to get a natural look in areas that don’t have a lot of growth. If I pressed too hard my eyebrows would be too dark or the line would be a little too thick. I found that I would have to keep drawing the same lines multiple times especially if I used a thinner liquid foundation or if any setting powder was on my brows. Because of this, I feel like it wasted a lot of product so I don’t think this would last long if you used it everyday.
So If you already have nicely shaped and filled brows and you just want something to subtly touch up you might like this but I don’t think this is a great product if you have patchy/ very thin eyebrows or an oily forehead/ t-zone.

I received this product for free in exchange for my honest review. I have oily, dehydrated but acne prone skin so I like a light moisturizer. This one is very nice. It’s watery and gel like so very refreshing but also has a certain creaminess you’d expect from a cream vs a gel. The scent is subtle and clean. It absorbs quickly and didn’t leave any unpleasant film on my face. It sat well under my foundation and did not make my oily tzone and worse. I really did like this product and recommend trying it if you want a light but moisturizing cream. This would be nice in the summer. -

I received this product for free in exchange for my honest review. I have oily, dehydrated but acne prone skin so I’m picky about the sunscreen I use on my face. This one was light in texture, watery but not too runny, refreshing and moisturizing. It is easy to spread out and a little goes a long way. I used this exclusively on my face and can say that I did like it. The scent is light and very subtle. The sunscreen was soothing and absorbed pretty quickly but did leave a bit of an oily/ moisturizing film on my face that took a little longer to sink it. It’s not a mattifying sunscreen. It did pill up a bit when layered with my other creams and serums but it wasn’t so bad that I wouldn’t use this again. My makeup also sat nicely on top of this and I didn’t get oilier as the day went like some sunscreens. So far no breakouts either. I’d recommend trying this. It would be nice as a stand alone moisturizer I think. I do think though that it’s a bit expensive for a Neutrogena sunscreen. -

I received this product for free in exchange for my honest review. I’ve used a lot of wipes in the past and these are avaerage. That’s not a bad thing but I’m not sure these would be a holy grail wipe. The wipes have a good texture and are soft on my sensitive skin. They don’t have a strong scent and are pretty well saturated. They aren’t the most moistened wipe I’ve used but it’s not bad. They take off basic makeup most of the time but you do often need a second one to get everything if you wear a full face. One wipe alone won’t usually get my mascara fully removed but does get most of my foundation. This product did not break me out or cause any irritation. They did leave a little bit of an oily film on my face but it absorbed eventually. These aren’t a bad face wipe if you’re in a pinch but they won’t be my go-to HG. -

I received this item to try for free in exchange for my honest review. I liked this mop for a few reasons. 1. It is really easy to use; just fill up the container with any type of cleaner you’d like (I used vinegar and water cause it suggests that) but you can use anything you have and you’re good to go. This is nice feature because I don’t have to buy a specific cleaner for it which saves money. 2. The pad itself is big so it covers a lot of surface area in one swipe. The 360 degree rotation makes cleaning my kitchen quick and convenient and the 180 mop head flip design is great because I don’t have to change the pad halfway through when it’s dirty. 3. Even filled, the mop is pretty lightweight so it’s not difficult to push around or too bulky to use. 4. The pads are washable so you don’t have to buy them each time which is economical and environmentally friendly. 4. I found it sprayed evenly like it says and has a pretty good reach so you don’t have to constantly hit the spray button as you go. One container full cleaned my kitchen, hallway and living room. Bonus: it worked on tile AND hardwood. 5. I don’t have to charge this or put batteries in which is great cause that means it’s ready to go whenever I am. I do wish this mop handle contracted a bit just so I could store it away a little more out of the way but that’s not the biggest deal. I also found that, even with the scrubbing part of the mop head, I did have to go over a couple of areas a few times but it wasn’t inconvenient enough that I wouldn’t continue to use this. I liked this mop overall and would continue to use it in the future. -

I got this product to try for free in exchange for my honest review. This shampoo is marketed as a more natural product that’s free from many harmful chemicals. It’s full of moisturizing and nutrient dense ingredients meant to add volume and body to limp, fine hair (which is definitely me and, in the couple of weeks I used it, I do think it does a good job at cleansing. It lathers really well for a product free of so many synthetic agents and gave my hair a sqeeky clean feeling without making it dry and extra oily. It’s smells incredible - like a floral pinacolada and you don’t need much to be effective so a bottle would last a while. I had very little hair fallout with both this, as well as the conditioner, which is nice when you have thin hair. The only downside was it didn’t add much volume but I’d recommend trying it still. -

I got this product to try for free in exchange for my honest review. I have fine, straight, oily hair so I’m always looking for a conditioner that doesn’t weight my hair down more or make it too oily. This definitely did not do either. The scent, just like everything else in this line, is SOO good; like a coconut/pineapple blend with a subtle floral undertone. It has a nice medium texture, not too thick but also not too thin, that coats my dry ends instantly without making them too greasy. It washes out really quick with no conditioner residue. You can instantly feel how soft your hair is using this. No tangles or knots in sight. I’m a fan of this conditioner. The only negative I found is that it doesn’t really give me much extra volume which is what it’s marketed to do. Regardless, I’d still buy it again. -

I received this product to try for free in exchange for my honest opinion. The first thing I noticed is how amazing this smells. It’s like a tropical pineapple coconut scent that is not at all overpowering. Right now my skin is drier than normal so I need a body wash that will moisturizer it and this one does. My skin was soft and supple after just one use. You only need a little bit of product to get a nice full lather. I used it with both a loofah as well as just my hands and it lathered and spread nicely both ways. It also didn’t leave any film on my skin or make it tight at all. And you get a lot of product in the bottle. I definitely recommend this. -

I received this product to try for free in exchange for my honest review. I didn’t like this one as much as their caramel cashew one. I found it more bland in comparison. I also noticed a slight cardboard aftertaste with this bar which I think is from the “rice crispy” bits and almond mix. The texture was nice though, very chewy, but could use more nuts. It has a good amount of protein and not too many carbs so it will keep you full for a while. It’s not a bad on the go bar but not my favourite. #gotitfree -
