I had the chance to try Sambucol Black Elderberry Advanced Immune Support with Vitamin C & Zinc. They are advertised as a "great-tasting vegan gummy" & they are not wrong! They aren't as gummy & sticky as a normal candy gummy, but just satisfying enough to chew & they seem to almost dissolve once chewed. But the flavour is what struck me the most, it is amazing! 😃 What a delightful way to get 50% of the daily recommended intake of vitamin C! All that without any artificial colours, flavours or preservatives too!

I had the chance to try Aveeno moisturizing body scrub. I used it for a week and although it was pleasant, I did not notice a change to my skin. It did not have much of a smell, it smells mildly like oats, which is pleasant & calming. It made a nice lather and worked well as a body wash, but I did not feel like it did much exfoliating. I normally moisturize after my shower and while I felt it was not drying, I still felt the need to moisturize afyer my shower. Overall it's nice body wash, but I don't see it being remarkably better than the majority of what's out there for the price point. -

I had the opportunity to try Clarins Double Serum for free through Butterly. I tried it for a week as directed. I found that if I used the amount recommended, it left my face feeling greasy. It did leave my skin feeling hydrated and supple. After a week I noticed a slight difference in the wrinkles on my forehead, although it was negligible & I’m unsure if it was just time of day. I do feel as though it made a difference in my skin tone. It does not look as dull. Overall I would recommend this product. #gotitfree #doubleserum #clarinsskincare -

I've never used an oil cleanser before. It glides on easily & I was impressed at it's ability to remove makeup. But even better than than, it is created with 8 essential naturally sourced oils incl Japanese camellia oil (tsubaki flower), squalane & ginseng to nourish your skin. It doesn't have much of a scent, but what's there is pleasant & light. I've only used it 4 days in a row so far and already I feel like I have more of a glow to my face than usual, which is great because my skin seems to have gotten a little dull in the last few years. I'm excited to see how much more this cleansing oil will do for me! -

I had the opportunity to try Covergirls’ Simply Ageless Lash Plumping Mascara. #gotitfree It boasts a 3-in-1 primer, serum & mascara formula that is good for your lash line & lashes & will make them thicker, longer & stronger in 4 weeks! I wear mascara every day, so I like the idea of having a mascara that will actually nourish my lashes. It is infused with hyaluronic acid & bamboo serum! The curved brush made it easy to apply. It lived up to it’s claim of being able to build volume without clumping. It feels feathery soft, light & washes off easily. The kind I tried wasn’t waterproof, but they do make a waterproof formula which I look forward to trying! #COVERGIRL #SimplyAgeless #CrueltyFree @thisisbutterly @chickadvisor @covergirl -

I had the opportunity to try Chapman's No Sugar Added, Lactose Free Ice Cream, in Salty Caramel & Peanuts. I was skeptical going into this one, as a sugar addicted dairy lover...no sugar added AND lactose free?? Is lactose the thing that makes things taste good? I was about to find out.
I was pleasantly surprised first off that the texture was nice. It was creamy & smooth & a bit light. Even the vanilla part of the ice cream without any ripple in it tasted a little like salted caramel, and the ripples themselves have that nice distinctive salted caramel flavour. I wouldn't have guessed it was a no sugar added product, as the sweetness seemed on par. Also, considering it is sweetened using maltitol and sucralose, I was also happy it didn't leave behind that funny taste that other products that use sugar alcohols can sometimes have.
As a person who likes their ice cream LOADED with things, I would've liked more nuts or more ripples of salted caramel, but for the average person, there are enough ripples and nuts evenly scattered throughout the tub to ensure every scoop has some.
Overall, we have a winner! I'd you're trying to cut back on sugar and/or need a lactose free product, go ahead & indulge! You won't be disappointed 😊

CoverGirl Weightless Water Cream claims to have 72hr hydration. So I tested it by applying it as my morning moisturizer & leaving it on overnight instead of applying my usual night cream. My skin didn't feel dry in the morning, it does what it says! It is a nice lightweight formula with a light, fresh scent -

Ice cream is my go-to snack/dessert. I enjoy it on pretty much a daily basis. There's never really a time that I don't want ice cream, so when I had the opportunity to review Breyers Natural Vanilla Ice Cream for free, I was very excited! 😃
It has the consistency you would expect from a premium brand of ice cream, nice & thick, rich & creamy. It's the kind of ice cream you want to savour a little before going back for the next spoonful. The vanilla flavor was nice, not too powerful, but still noticable. As someone who loves chunks of cookies and chocolate and all sorts of things mixed into my ice cream, I found this also made a fantastic base. That being said, it is wonderful all on it's own! 😊 Breyers Natural Vanilla Ice Cream is decadent enough that one bowl of it leaves you satisfied (which for me is saying a lot!😉)

As a huge fan of Nutella, I was skeptical about Kraft's version of the heavenly spread, but I was pleasantly surprised! It has slightly more hazelnut flavour & isn't as thick /sticky, which is nice, as it means it can spread a little easier. Also I don't think it was quite as sweet as Nutella, although it definitely still has that yummy chocolatey deliciously indulgent flavour that keeps you going back for more! My sample didn't last long, wish there was more. -

I wash my hands a lot, so they get dry. I also exercise every day with weights and have started forming rough callouses on my hands, something I do not want! I had an opportunity to try Aveeno Restorative Skin Therapy Repairing Cream. I used it once or twice during the day, and once at night before bed. After 2-3 days of minimal use, I have noticed that my hands do not feel rough and my callouses are smooth! It has no strong or offensive odor, it absorbs nicely and leaves a nice feeling on my hands. It is not greasy, and even after washing my hands, they do not feel as dry as usual. It is very exciting to get these kind of results so quickly with only a few uses! A fantastic product! -
