Firstly, I'd like to state that I got a coupon for a free tub of ice cream so that I could try the product for free for review purposes. Now, on to my review:
The first impressions I got from the new Breyers Delights was that the packaging looked really fun, that there were a good amount of flavour choices (with enough variety), and that the tubs were a little smaller than I had expected.
I opted for the vanilla cupcake flavour because I try to avoid chocolate, and it's just the flavour that seemed like it would be the tastiest for me.
When I opened up the tub to have a taste, I was surprised (and delighted) to find that there were sprinkles in the ice cream! I tried a scoop and found that the flavour was more than okay.
After a few scoops, I realized that this ice cream is not quite as creamy as your classic ice cream. But that's completely fine because I didn't feel weighed down (or guilty) after eating a few spoonfuls. I also found it interesting that this ice cream has protein in it, since the low calories and protein content could be a great combo for someone who is trying to get/stay fit but who also wants to indulge in some ice cream.
I was a little concerned by the amount of ingredients in this product, and how many of them I can't pronounce (since that's usually a bit of a red flag for me). But I liked the flavour, and I suppose the ingredients are fine since I don't eat a tub of ice cream a day (or even in a whole month).
Overall, I'd say that I do recommend this ice cream for people looking for a low calorie ice cream.

Due to being a product reviewer, I try out a lot of different cleansers. Some of them have even been cleansers for acne-prone skin. And I have to say that when it comes to smell, this one is my favourite so far. I don't even really like the smell or taste of grapefruit (the fruit itself), but I really like the smell of the Neutrogena Pink Grapefruit line! This cleanser foams up quite nicely, and I have seen an improvement to my complexion over the time that I've used it! My skin doesn't only feel refreshed after using the cleanser, but also very very soft (which I think is important since some acne-fighting cleansers can be a bit harsh on the skin)! (I received this product for free for review purposes.) -

I mentioned in my review for the clay mask from this line of products that I love the colour of the products in the line! And the peel-off mask is no exception! It smelled great, and felt good when I was applying it to my face. Now, I'm always a bit skeptical when it comes to peel-off masks, because some of the ones that I've used in the past didn't feel off quite as nicely as advertised. I didn't have to worry about that with the Neutrogena Pink Grapefruit peel-off mask though! It felt great when applying and wearing it on my skin, and it also peeled off quite nicely (a.k.a. I didn't have to wash any remnants of it off, or have to stand in front of the mirror and pick any remnants off my face). I really enjoyed this mask and will likely use it again (for just the lack of mess and lack of having to clean anything up after use)! (I received this product for free for review purposes.) -

I absolutely love the colour of the products from Neutrogena's Pink Grapefruit line! I know that that's not the most important part, but I just found them all to be pretty and fun (including this clay mask)! I also really enjoyed the smell, and the pore-tightening action while keeping the mask on my face. I was only able to use it twice (due to the sample size) so I can't really speak for the long term effects. But, I can tell you that my skin felt soft and refreshed after each use!

This tea had a nice flavour! And the price is great. I can definitely smell notes of grapefruit and dandelion. I didn't taste the nettle really, but it could just be that the other 2 flavours just overpowered it. I know that there are many health benefits for all of the ingredients in this tea, and the fact that it tastes good just makes the experience both healthy and tasty. Even though this is a green tea, it tastes a lot like a herbal tea. So I go for this tea when I want that herbal tea flavour with benefits of the green tea (like when I want to stay up a little longer to read a book before bed). -

I was very excited to try this particular tea out because I love the flavours and aromas of lavender, cinnamon, and chamomile. I had never tried to blend those 3 together though, and I was very interested to see how they would work together and compliment each other. When I opened the outer packaging, I was both pleased and dissapointed to see that the tea bags were each individually packaged in plastic slips.
Let me explain. I was pleased because being wrapped in plastic would mean that each tea bag would better maintain its flavour and aroma. But I was dissapointed because I try to avoid making waste (especially plastic waste).
I brewed the tea for 4 minutes, and got a good amount of flavour out of the tea bag (though I may try brewing for longer next time). And the mix of flavours was definitely interesting and good. The lavender and cinnamon stood out the most, and they blended quite well in my opinion.

I was very excited to try this tea by Pure Leaf! I have known about the benefits of tumeric for some time, and have used it a lot in juices that I make over the past few years. I have never made a tea out of it though, and thought that it would be interesting to try. The tumeric flavour definitely takes over the citrus flavour, to the point where I didn't really taste any citrus at all. And I did like that real tumeric was used, but wasn't too happy to see the words "natural flavour" at the end of the ingredients list since that makes me feel a little suspicious. Overall, it tasted okay, nothing amazing, and has SOME health benefits. -

(Review written by my boyfriend, who tried the deodorant on himself:)
The size of this deodorant is considerably larger than the female version, and it also smells better. The smell, once applied, was not too strong, and it kept me from perspiring or smelling bad. So, it did the job, and smelled okay too.

When I received the Degree women's and men's deodorant sticks I was very excited! My boyfriend and I had both just run out of deodorant, and we had both been wanting to try out this brand. I unboxed the deodorants and smelled them to make sure that they don't smell too strong (because I get headaches if there is too much perfume) and they smelled wonderful! I wanted to try mine right away, so I applied it under my arms and then waited to see what would happen. There wasn't any moisture or staining, which is great! However, once applied, the smell became much stronger for me, to the point where I had to go wash the deodorant off because I got a headache. The headache lasted 2 days, even with my use of Advil, and I therefore fear using this deodorant again. So, long story short, the deodorant does what it's supposed to do (stop you from sweating and preventing body odour), but the smell was just too strong for me. -

Thank you to Chick Advisory for the opportunity to try this product as well as the Vichy waterproof eye-makeup remover for free! Before trying these products, I had never tried any Vichy products before ... although I really wanted to because I had heard nothing but good things about the brand!
I have tried a number of cleansers over the years, but not too many foam cleansers. I just always felt that they didn't really get the job done for me. I didn't have to worry about that with this Vichy foam cleanser though! It really washed away all of that oil, and made my skin feel as if it got that deep cleanse without the product having felt too harsh. Vichy is definitely a brand that I'll be keeping an eye on from now on!
