I #gotitfree to try through the XY Stuff Product Review Club. I found this soap bar to be very effective in cleansing my skin, without irritating it or being overly harsh. It was also great in keeping my skin moisturized, given the dry winter air. I also really enjoyed the texture, which had a bit of a pumice/grainy feel to it. The only downside was the scent, which I found to be too strong. Even after opening up the box that the soap was in, the smell was overwhelming, let alone when I actually used it. It also was not typical of men's care products, with a bit more of a sweetness to it. -

I #GotItFree through the XY Stuff Club/Product Review Club. This antiperspirant kept me smelling fresh throughout and after my workouts. I didn't notice a significant difference from my usual bars of antiperspirant or deodorant, but this did dry really quickly and didn't mark up any of my clothes. It also smelled pretty good and is fairly light, so I've taken to keeping it in my gym bag and daily backpack in case of emergencies. -

I #GotItFree to try through the Product Review Club, and could not be happier with it! I've tried a variety of "no-stain" antiperspirants over the years, including standard sticks, liquid roll-ons, and the occasional dry spray, and have consistently found dry sprays to be the only form that truly leave no mark. This Degree antiperspirant is no exception - very quick and easy to apply and dry, before putting on my work clothes or after slipping on a sleeveless top. Either way, this left no marks or stains on my clothes and I didn't have to rush to change at the last-minute as is usually the case with other products. The scent was also very pleasant and not too overpowering that I couldn't wear it at work. -

I received this product for free through the FamilyRated Club. Although it was a bit difficult to track down the cinnamon raisin variety of these bagels, I was eventually able to find it at my local FreshCo, which appeared to be the only chain in my area that stocked this item.
While I typically purchase thin bagels for myself, I was pleased to find that these "regular"-thickness bagels were not overwhelmingly bready. They easily compressed after I toasted and bit into them, without leaving me feeling like I was drowning in an excess of bread and carbs. Perfect thickness.
Taste-wise, I really liked the smooth exterior of the bagels, which had a texture akin to an egg wash. My husband felt that these tasted artificial and chemical, while I had no issue with the taste myself. These bagels hit the perfect balance of sweetness, without being overpowering, and are great for breakfast with some cream cheese.
I would recommend this product and am likely to re-purchase, if I can find them on for a good price.

I absolutely loved the packaging of this product- the cardboard box it came in was so cute, with an image of lined paper reminiscent of school time. I also really liked the squeeze tube packaging, which is very easy and hygienic to use (and pack for on-the-go). I really like applying this to my skin during hot days, as it has a soothing feel, and is particularly nice on a sunburn. I'm always a fan of gel consistency products, particularly in summer, and this didn't disappoint. Other than that, I wasn't quite sure how else to use this product - it wasn't clear if it was intended to be an all-over cream or strictly facial. That said, I would likely repurchase this if I could find it on sale.

I applied this serum in the mornings, in place of moisturizer, before putting on my makeup for the day. I found that it kept my face well hydrated as the day wore on, with a similar subtle and pleasant smell as the brand's face cream. The packaging felt a little cheap, as I'm used to Vichy's glass serum bottle, but it's something I could overlook if the price were right. I feel that for the price point the packaging could be a little more solid. Overall a nice product, but not sure if I would repurchase at regular price.

I fell absolutely in love with this product after the first night! The consistency of the cream is a little gel-like, not too heavy and not too light - just perfect for melting into the face overnight. The scent was soft and delicate, just the right note for overnight skincare. I found my skin was very well-hydrated come morning, without being greasy or sticky, and all of my problem spots were moisturized and "filled" in. This cream reminded me a lot of the Laneige overnight water mask, but at a somewhat lower price point, when on sale. I don't know if I would repurchase this at regular price, but if part of a promotion, I would seriously consider a refill. -

I was a bit hesitant to dry a product named "baller," but found myself really liking this antiperspirant. It's been really effective throughout the day when I wear it; it handles well through going to work, working out, doing manual labour around the house. The price is about the same as the other drugstore deodorant/anti-antiperspirants out there, but I would re-buy this based on its nice smell. It's a really cool scent that's good for summer and feels very fresh. The only recommendation I would have is to change the names of the antiperspirants in these lines, as they're kind of ridiculous and bring the Right-Guard brand down to Axe's level in terms of cheesy products.
Write a paragraph or two explaining your opinion of each product in detail.
Did you enjoy using this product? Was it effective? How did you like the scent?
How would you rate its value? (regular price = $4.99 - 5.99 each)
Would you purchase this product again or recommend it to a friend? Why or why not?

I received this product for free as part of the XY Stuff Club. I was very surprised and impressed with the Dial 3-in-1 Wash; it was a welcome change from my usual Old Spice, while still being at the same price point. It was effective at cleaning, but did leave my skin a little dry - this isn't all too different from the average drugstore body wash. The bottle was huge, given the price, and I find it to be a good value, again on par with other drugstore brands. The scent is where this body wash really stood out - it's a fresh, masculine scent that really makes you feel and smell clean. I would definitely re-purchase this for the scent alone (really, the most important factor). -

I was very excited to try this sunscreen, with summer approaching. I have a really hard time finding facial sunscreen that will allow me to wear makeup over top of it. Neutrogena knocked it out of the park with this one! It puts all other sunscreen brands' facial products to shame. As someone who is very pale, I didn't find that this left any "white" streaks behind on my face, which is likely attributable to the fact that this has a gel texture and is actually tinted blue. I applied it as I would a facial moisturizer, and the gel texture meant that a little went a long way. Further, it dried very quickly (and akin to a gel moisturizer) and didn't make my skin into a greasy mess like every single other sunscreen on the market. It dried fairly quickly and to a matte-like finish, so I was able to apply my make-up over it, giving me the best of both worlds - high SPF coverage and a made-up look. I absolutely loved this and will be picking up another once I run through it!
