Given the fact that I received this product during a global pandemic, it is one that I have used quite frequently. The product is easy to pump out and feels soft as you remove grime from your hands. It does not dry out your skin like other soaps. I like how gentle it was on my hands. I usually have to moisturize after washing my hands with soap but when I use this soap, I rarely need to do so.
Pros: It's like any regular foam soap in regards to effectiveness but it is much more gentle on the hands. Leaves them soft, even after drying!
Cons: I am not a big fan of the scent. I don't know what the juniper flower smells like but the smell of this soap is not my favourite.
I received this this as a free product sample courtesy of Chick Advisor and Dial.

This was my first time trying a facial cleansing bar so at first, it felt a bit awkward. I have a small face so it definitely felt strange to begin with BUT it got easier the more I used it (and the smaller the bar would get). I use this product only when my skin is feeling especially oily (I have combo skin) because it does such a great job of getting rid of the gunk on my face. My skin feels refreshed and truly clean. Note: don't skip moisturizer afterwards! -
Schwarzkopf Hair Mascara - Dark Brown

I got this sample for my mum, whose dark brown hair is starting to go white in some places. Her hair isn't white enough to justify dyeing regularly but if she doesn't the white hair is very visible so she will dye her hair to cover it. She has a sensitive scalp so it isn't favourable. This Hair Mascara is easy to use, does not have a scent, and shows instant results. You have to swipe the brush through your hair a couple of times to build up the colour but it does not get cakey or clumpy. So far, mom is liking this product and the idea that she won't have to dye her hair as often anymore! For the price of approx $11, I think we might purchase this again if this sample proves to work and last for a long time. -

I received this product as a sample from L'oreal. I liked that it was a thinner, less goopy product than other charcoal masks I have tried. It went on easily, dried quickly and did not irritate my skin. My eyes felt a bit irritated if I put the mask on too close to my eyes but I think that's more due to user error. The biggest challenge I found with the product was removal. It made a huge grey mess in my sink and on the counter while I tried to scrub all of it off. I did enjoy the product but the hassle of removal and clean up doesn't make me want to purchase it again. That, plus I prefer one of their other masks for my skin type/concerns. For those who struggle with dull skin and have the patience to use this mask will love it for sure. -

I received a sample of this product in the mail and liked it so much that I tried to squeeze out at least 3 uses from the tiny container. This mask smells really nice, goes on smoothly (even though it has exfoliating bits) and truly exfoliates my skin without being abrasive. This product claims to refine rough skin. During the winter, my skin gets very dry and rough. I found that using this mask 1-2 times a week made sure that my skin stayed soft. I immediately bought the full size product after I finished my sample size. -

I waited to try this product because I had other moisturizers that I was using and I am so glad I did. It's starting to get colder out, meaning my skin is getting dryer. This is the perfect cream to use during the North American winter weather, which is what I plan to save it for. The Nivea nourishing cream truly nourishes my skin and leaves my legs feeling so hydrated. It's like a vitamin e cream but less thick, making it easier to massage into the skin. -

I was excited to try this product because I have heard so much about micellar water but hadn't gotten a chance to try it myself. After my first two uses, it has quickly become part of my permanent skincare routine. I keep my bottle with some cotton pads beside my bed - my biggest issue was forgetting to take my makeup off before getting comfy in bed and now I don't have to get up to do it anymore. It's made things very convenient for me, especially since I don't need to rinse it off after wiping my face. There's no residue, no oil, and my face feels truly clean. It also removes makeup with ease, and without irritating my eyes. Needless to say, I really vouch for this product and plan on purchasing a new bottle once this one runs out. -
Vichy Pureté Thermale Cleansing Foam Radiance Revealer

I like that this product has a lid! It makes it easy to travel with compared to other foam cleansers that just have a pump that doesn't lock. The foam is gentle and soft on the skin. A little goes a long way - I'm not pumping too much foam but I'm able to clean my whole face. The price is around what I normally pay for face cleanser so the fact that a little goes a long way means that I'll be able to get more use out of it than other products. For that, I would probably buy it again. Plus, my mom has started using it too and really likes it; it has become a family favourite very quickly!
The only thing I didn't particularly like was the smell: it was a bit chemically smelling kind of like an acne wash and that put me off at first. It's not a deal breaker but something to be aware of when purchasing.

I was really happy to try this product and like it too - I had high expectations for it. I have sensitive eyes that don't react well to all makeup removers but this one didn't irritate me at all. The product is advertised as non-greasy: when you are wiping it off with water, the skin feels a bit slippery but once you pat your face dry with a towel, there is no greasy feeling at all. My face felt hydrated and clean. This did the job for removing my makeup but what made me love it was that it didn't dry my skin out after washing. The price point is a bit over the average drugstore brand makeup remover but I think it's worth it if you're someone like me who doesn't wear makeup every day and would be able to make use of this for a long period of time. -

I was very excited to try this product because I work in scent-sensitive environments so I need to be careful about the skincare products I use. This moisturizer was hydrating and didn't have a scent. I was able to carry it along with me to work and reapply - something I don't normally do because my previous go-to products all have a scent to them. It reacted to my skin very well and I am very happy with this product. I'm glad I got to try it in advance - I definitely will be purchasing it once my sample runs out! -
