First of all, I want to say that I'm really grateful to have been given the opportunity to try these two products for free in exchange for my honest opinion. Aveeno has been my kids go to lotion and shampoo/shower gel for years but I've never had the opportunity to personally give it a try.
Let's start with the Aveeno Calm & Restore skin therapy balm. My skin is very sensitive and some creams simply don't work for me. I'm very pleased to say that I absolutely loved the Aveeno Calm & Restore skin therapy balm. It's fragrance free, paraben free and steroid free which is already a plus for me.
I constantly have dry patches on my cheekbones and my chin and so far, all the moisturizers I've tried didn't work well for the dry patches. This one was a game changer. It cleared them after a few days of use. My skin now feels soft, more even and definitely moisturized. I simply applied the cream on the dry spots as indicated and it worked wonders. Because I absolutely hate sticky creams, it is worth mentioning that this Aveeno cream does not feel sticky whatsoever. It's easy to apply and doesn't feel heavy on the skin.
The only thing I missed was some sort of fragrance. Some people love fragrance free products but I definitely prefer scented ones. It would awesome to have two options for this product : scented or fragrance free.
Well done Aveeno and thank you so much for this opportunity.

I was lucky enough to be selected to try the nicorette gums for free in exchange for my honest review.
Overall, the gums are good. They do stop cravings although not as fast as the nicorette quick mist spray in my opinion. They still helped me go through cravings though and I definitely believe they are a great tool. I personally wasn't a fan of the flavor. I'm used to the mint flavor and I would purchase the gums again in a mint flavor.
Also, make sure to read the instructions and respect them. They're not intended to be used as any other gums. You're not supposed to constantly chew on it. Chew on it until the flavor is strong and then let it rest between your jaw and cheek. No more than 30 minutes at a time. It's still a medicine and should be used as such.
Even though I prefer the nicorette spray, I believe that the gums are also a great tool for people who are looking to quit smoking. Start a better life !

I've attempted to quit smoking a few times without much success. I got lucky and was selected to try the Nicorette® QuickMist® spray for free in exchange for my honest opinion.
I've only used it for two days so far but I'm happy to say that I'm very satisfied with this product. It really does stop cravings within less than a minute, as advertised. It has a strong taste which is quite surprising at first but I quickly got used to it and it becomes more pleasant after a few tries.
It definitely helped me fight the urge to light a cigarette and even if at this point it's only been two days, I'm very happy to have gone two days without a cigarette.
So far, this is my favorite smoking cessation tool.
I do plan, however, on keeping an eye on how many times a day I use it and reduce it as I go since I believe this could also become addictive. It should be used as intended. It's a great tool to quit smoking.
Definitely recommend this product to quit smoking and start a healthier lifestyle ! I will be purchasing more when I'm done with this spray

I received this product in echange for my honest opinion. First, let me say that I'm absolutely a beginner when it comes to caulking. I do, however, have 3 bathtubs that need to be resealed after years of not taking care of it. Well, my second time applying sealant was a lot easier than I expected.
I applied it around one of my bathtub and it was great. I was easy and smooth to apply and it dried quickly. I didn't need to paint over it but it did dry within 15 minutes as advertised and so far, after a week, no cracks either !
Also, one thing I always dread the most is the smell of sealent. I'm very happy to say that this sealant's smell is not quite as strong as the other sealants I've tried in the past. I'm very happy with the results so far. As for the water resistance, that's something that I will only be able to review after a few months.
But so far, I'm very pleased with the Dap alex ultra and I will definitely be buying more in the coming weeks so I can reseal two more bathtubs. Thank you butterly and dap for giving me this opportunity !

I got this product for free in exchange for my honest opinion.
Overall, it's a great trimmer. Let me say that it's also my first time using a trimmer. Up until now, I've only been using a regular razor after trying to use an electric once without much success and a horrible experience on top of it
This trimmer worked great for me! It's light and therefore comfortable to hold and use. The curved design is also very very useful for those hard to reach areas. Even better, I didn't get a single cut which happened a lot with my regular razor. The day after I shaved I also didn't have any ingrown hair or any irritation from using the trimmer which is a massive plus for me. Nothing worse than being irritated down there during hot summer days. It actually felt nice and smooth.
For all those reasons, I'd definitely recommend this trimmer. It's safer and feels much better and smoother than a razor. On the down side, I wish the blade was replaceable. Even thought the cost of the trimmer is reasonable, I'd personally like to be able to replace the blade rather than having to buy a new trimmer every time the blade gets dull. Also, I think that it would more convenient if it was rechargeable and not battery operated. I believe that's the two things that could be improved on this trimmer. Otherwise, I'm very happy with it.
Thank you buttery and church Flawless Beauty!

Chapman's Super Premium Plus Chocolate & Brownies

Let me start by saying that I'm usually not a big chocolate ice cream fan. It's usually either too sugary, too smooth and worse, doesn't taste like real chocolate. Well, Chapman's completely blew me away with their new super premium chocolate and brownies ice cream. It has to be the best chocolate ice cream I've ever bought from a supermarket. It actually tastes like chocolate, it is smooth, perfectly balanced and the brownies pieces add so much taste and texture to this ice cream. They're chewy but not crunchy and that's what makes it taste so much better than any other chocolate ice cream I've had before. I paired it with a waffle cup and it was just perfect. My two little girls (2 and 5)are obsessed as well so needless to say, I got 3 more so they can continue to enjoy their daily ice cream for dessert. 100% recommend for any chocolate ice cream lover. Thank you Chapman's for giving me the opportunity to give it a try. You just got yourself a new (or 3) customer(s) #TryChapmansCanada -

I received this toy in exchange for my honest opinion from . First I can say this toy was a big hit in our house. My 4 years old and my 22 months both enjoyed it and constantly fight for it meaning i will more than likely buy the Batman figure so they can play together even more.
The figure is 12 " tall and feels very solid. It also articulates ( 11 points of articulation) which is great for positioning the figure and pretend and play ! Apparently, and according to my 4 year old, The flash loves to go for a drive in Barbie's car ! Yes, it's that bendable and my girls love it ! It also has 20 different sounds that you can activate by easily pressing the button on the chest which will also lights up the figure for an even better realistic look. It also makes sounds and lightning bolts when you shake the figure which is also great. No need to press the button constantly.
As a parent, I love that there is an off button and an audion level control on the back of the figure. Not every toy has that option and it's been really nice to be able to turn it off when needs be.
Get this toy if your kiddo is a superhero fan, it's well worth it ! Thank you SpinMaster and butterly !

I received this product in exchange for my honest opinion.
Garnier Sleek & Shine Glass Hair Water worked really well for me. My hair are damaged and dry this time of year and this hair treatment worked perfectly.
I was first surprised by the consistency. I expected more of a gel consistency when it really feels more like water. Applying it directly onto my hair was easier the second time as opposed to pouring some on my hands the first time. It avoided a slippery floor and was just easier to apply.
My hair felt warm each time I used it and soon after applying it, I started to feel how soft and smooth my hair was getting. It definitely gave my hair a shiny look on top of that, even after using a flat iron.
The smell is pleasant just like all the Garnier products I've tried so far. Fruity and fresh scents have always been my favorites and it exactly what this hair treatment smells like.
One thing I would add however is to really make sure to rinse it out very well. I didn't rinse it out enough the first time I used it and my hair felt sticky and almost greasy. Read the instructions, don't use too much of it, rinse it out very good and you should love this new hair treatment. Thank you Garnier for this opportunity !

I received this product in exchange for my honest opinion. I was pretty excited to try this one ! I love Garnier products in general so I was excited to be given the chance go try this 10 in 1 spray.
The Garnier Fructis Sleek and Shine 10 in 1 spray didn't disappoint. It worked well for my curly/wavy hair.
The spray is super easy to use. However I had to get used to the amount of product I used. I used too much of it the first time and it ended up feeling greasy and leaving some sort of residue on my hair. I would suggest spraying a little bit at first and adjust next time if need be. Once I got used to it, it was perfect.
The smell is pleasant and not overwhelming. If you mind scented products, just know this one is well balanced and not overpowering at all. Because I use my flat iron everyday, having a spray that protects my hair against heat was a big plus.
Even after using my flat iron, my hair still felt so soft and definitely looked shiny. I don't have frizzy hair so I wouldn't be able to give an honest opinion on this part of the product.
Overall it was a great spray. That being said, I didn't see much difference between this spray and another Garnier spray that I've used for years. Even though I would probably buy this new one, my usual Garnier spray seems to be working just as good and I just prefer the scent of the older one. I would still recommend this product for anyone looking for a shiny look and soft hair.

I was given the chance to try this product for free and I couldn't have been more pleased with it. My skin is normally very sensitive and there is only a few deodorants I can use. The sticks dont work well for me since they most of the time cause rashes, redness and eventually itchiness. The sprays have been my best option but unfortunately only a few works great for me. I was pleased to find out that this Degree spray did the trick and worked perfectly. I love scented products so even though it is strong especially while applying it, it didn't bother me at all. The smell is fresh and very pleasant and lasted all day. Most importantly, even after a very busy day running around and running after my two kiddos, there was still no sign of sweat whatsover. I haven't kept it on for 72hrs but it definitely worked past 24hrs for me. Recommend and will buy again ! -
