I enjoyed the sample I received of the Kraft Hazelnut spread (although I wished it was bigger!) It has a similar taste as another hazelnut spread I like but the texture is slightly drier. It's not a complete replacement of my current brand but if not available, I would happily pick this up in it's place. -

The degree antiperspirant dry spray was a cute sample to test out. It doesn't feel wet or sticky when you spray it on. I tried on a couple of black tops after I used the spray and no white marks were left behind. This is definitely the product to use if you don't want to mess up your clothes with any white marks. The only down side is that I'm not a big fan on the fumes it gives off however, it does dissipate quickly -

I enjoyed using this sample of the Aveeno restorative skin therapy repairing cream. It was not thick and absorbed quickly. It had no scent which I appreciated as it did not cause any reaction. This had more of a lotion consistency than a cream but it was still effective. -
BAND-AID® Brand Adhesive Bandages Hydro Seal™ Advanced Healing, 10 count
I can no longer do fabric band-aids as I get a reaction from the glue on the strips, so these are perfect for those times that I need one without causing a reaction. They do seal pretty good which allows it to stay on longer and protect your cuts... +
I can no longer do fabric band-aids as I get a reaction from the glue on the strips, so these are perfect for those times that I need one without causing a reaction. They do seal pretty good which allows it to stay on longer and protect your cuts while you go through the day. For those areas that bend (i.e. fingers) there's flexibility to them so they are not so stiff. I also like how they blend into my skin. The only downside is that the packaging for the band-aids is huge -
Becel Unsalted Plant-Based Bricks
I was impressed with how the Becel unsalted plant basis brick performed. Unless you were able to compare for taste and texture side by side one cannot tell the difference from butter. I tried it on toast and although the butter side tasted... +
I was impressed with how the Becel unsalted plant basis brick performed. Unless you were able to compare for taste and texture side by side one cannot tell the difference from butter. I tried it on toast and although the butter side tasted creamier, it didn't affect taste. I baked cookies with half the recipes using Becel and the other half with butter. The Becel cookies were a little flatter but overall, I could not tell a difference in taste. It is softer to use and cut through but overall, it's a great substitute for butter. -

This face lotion worked well for me. It had a nice consistency and did not cause any reactions which allowed me to use this twice a day. I love that this is fragrance free. There was a slight tingling and redness when I applied it but it was very minor and went away quickly. My face got a little dry after using this for a bit but I made sure to use a more intense moisturizer to offset this. -

I received the Motts fruit sensations in mango peach and had these as my mid-afternoon snack for the week. Although it was unsweetened, it was sweet enough from the fruit puree to satisfy my afternoon sugar cravings and I got some extra fibre in. I enjoyed the flavor and felt better having this than chocolate. Also, knowing that a future purchase also benefits Breakfast Club of Canada because Motts is partnering with them makes it even more enticing. -

I tried the caramel Premier Protein drink after a workout. I like the amount (325 ml) you receive and that the container can be recycled. The low amount of sugar (1 gram) makes it an even better snack option. The consistency is a bit thicker than chocolate milk but tastes better. I tried a couple of flavors and the caramel flavour one was the best tasting one. -

I tried the chocolate Premier Protein drink after a workout. I like the amount (325 ml) you receive and that the container can be recycled. The low amount of sugar (1 gram) makes it an even better snack option. The consistency is a bit thicker than chocolate milk. Although it left no after taste, the chocolate flavor tasted more artificial than I expected. -

I received the Neutrogena Rapid Wrinkle Retinol Oil to test out. I've used this for a week and so far so good. It has a mild scent and has the consistency of an oil that may take a minute or two to absorb into the skin. I used about 4-5 drops in the morning and night as recommended and did not experience much of a reaction. My face is dry and can be sensitive but this product just made my face a touch red for a moment or two before fading. I was able to layer other face products over top with no issues with the exception of an eye cream that when it was in contact with the oil created a burning sensation. My skin feels a bit smoother and softer but will need to use this product for more than a week to get a true sense of its effectiveness. Right now, I'm happy with the product and plan to use this up! -
