I received a 400mL bottle of this shampoo from Chick Advisor for free, so I was very grateful for the opportunity to try before buying. I was very pleased with the size bottle I was given, so I could get a few washes in before reviewing.
I have nothing but good things to say about the product! I love that Love Beauty & Planet uses recycled content for their bottles, they are 100% vegan, they don't support animal testing, their products are organic, they don't use parabens, dyes or silicones.... the list goes on! On top of all that, the scent of shea butter and Sandalwood is so luxurious, yet it's not overpowering or too purfumey.
It had a moderate lather when I used it - not too sudsy, but enough that it felt like it was doing the job. It rinsed out so easily though, which is a life saver for someone with thick hair!
After using the shampoo, my hair felt so clean, moisturized, and healthy. It didn't make my hair frizzy, which is a problem I typically encounter.
Even the fact that the bottles have a slip-resistant type of texture on them makes me love them even more! No more dropping the bottles in the shower!
Since I got the product for free, I wanted to see how much the shampoo typically retails for. In my region, it's around $9/bottle. It's slightly above what I would normally spend on a shampoo, but I would happily buy this one again because the results are SO fantastic!

Lay's Poppables Sea Salt

These light, popped "chips" are my new favourite snack! They remind me of Muncho chips, however they're significantly less salty and less greasy, which makes them much more pleasurable to eat. The sea salt flavour is not overpowering, and you're left with a nice potato flavour at the end.
Nutrition-wise, obviously they aren't what I would consider a "healthy snack", but they're so delicious, I can forget about the calories for a minute!

I received a set of Delectable hand creams for Christmas this year, and this is my favourite scent. The packaging claims the product is "ultra nourishing", which I thought was great as my hands get really dried out in the winter.
I've tried using the product many times over the last few months, and while I love the scent, I can't say it lives up to the "Ultra Nourishing" tagline. It leaves my hands a little greasy and, ultimately, no more moisturized than they were before. I'll stick with my Norwegian hand cream next winter!

I received this from Sephora for free for my birthday gift - I got a trial size. I use this product in the evenings before going to bed (I usually apply the Agave Lip Balm as well). The product has a wonderful consistency - not too sticky, not too grainy - and it smells great too. I wake up in the mornings with unbelievable smooth and soft lips after using the duo. My first issue with the Lip Scrub is that, while it smells lovely, it has a pretty nasty taste to it. I accidentally got some in my mouth once - obviously the product is meant for external use and one should not eat it, but the tiny bit I got on my tongue was gross! My second issue is the price - I got great results from the scrub, but I sadly can't see myself paying $20 for a scrub. If it was 4 or 5 dollars cheaper, I'd consider it! -
BITE Beauty Agave Lip Balm
I use the agave lip balm at night as a lip mask because it's so rich, and I wake up with perfectly smooth lips. It has a mild scent and is easy to apply, the only reservation I have about it is the price - a full size balm is $20, for 4.2g. Yes... +
I use the agave lip balm at night as a lip mask because it's so rich, and I wake up with perfectly smooth lips. It has a mild scent and is easy to apply, the only reservation I have about it is the price - a full size balm is $20, for 4.2g. Yes, it's amazing and I've never had such wonderful results from a balm, but I can't see myself forking over $20 for a balm! I got a trial size for free from Sephora, and I love it, but when it's gone I sadly won't be re-purchasing. -

I received the Mini version of this product for free from Sephora for my birthday - the Glacé shade is the same colour as my natural lips. I use the product on days where my lip colour is a little uneven or pale, it makes a great filler. It also layers nicely with other lipsticks and crayons, so I can easily create an ombré lip. The product is easy to apply, and creamy while I'm wearing it. I do have a to use a setting powder in order for it to last more than a couple of hours which is why I would prefer this to be a lip paint - BUT it doesn't dry out my lips which is a bonus for sure! -

I received this from Sephora for my birthday. I've never tried Bite Beauty's products before this. I love the Chai shade - it's a perfect shade for the office and makes a nice subtle shade if you want to do a dramatic eye at night.
I love how creamy the formula is - it goes on just like butter and doesn't dry out my lips - huge plus! I also like that they advertise as being a cruelty-free brand :)
The only downside to this lipstick is its wearability. I'm definitely more of a lip paint kind of gal - having to reapply lipstick every 4 hours is not ideal for me. Other than that, I love everything about this product!

Since my dandruff has come back in recent weeks, I've been on the lookout for a good dandruff shampoo+conditioner. This review club couldn't have come at a better time! After using the Dove Derma+ Care shampoo, I used the conditioner and let it soak for about 5 minutes (how I normally use conditioner). I love the smell of this product, it smells better than other dandruff shampoos and conditioners. My hair is sooooo smooth after using these two products only once - I'm glad I've finally found a good dandruff conditioner! -

So excited to be able to try this shampoo from Dove, and so excited that I #gotitfree! I used to have very bad dandruff when I was a kid, but lately it has started to come back a little bit. I held off on using other products like Head & Shoulders because I never liked the smell. I love the Dove Derma+ Care for many reasons: it smells amazing! It has a wonderful lather, it's reduced my itchy scalp, and my hair is so smooth now! I think I've found my new favourite dandruff shampoo :) -

I’m a sucker for a good brush - I have way too many to count actually! When I got my free kit with the brush in the mail, I was so glad to see they had carefully packaged the brush in a tube so it hadn’t lost any of its shape. The bristles are incredibly soft (a small amount did fall out the first time I used it, but that’s pretty normal to me) and they pick up the foundation very well. I found that it made the foundation easy to blend and I’ll definitely incorporate it into my daily routine! -
