COVERGIRL Clean Fresh Nourishing Skin Milk Foundation
A nice alternative to high-end BB creams or tinted moisturizer. Good shade range and I appreciate that the lightest shade is very light. It gives a little bit of coverage but it does cling to dry spots. Lasts OK throughout the day.

COVERGIRL Clean Fresh Hydrating Concealer
Decent product with good shade range. Dries down to a budge-proof finish just not the easiest to work with. I have trouble with the claims "toxic ingredients" - does this mean other covergirl products are toxic? Not a very sophisticated formula... +
Decent product with good shade range. Dries down to a budge-proof finish just not the easiest to work with. I have trouble with the claims "toxic ingredients" - does this mean other covergirl products are toxic? Not a very sophisticated formula since there is a pink separation going on right now which looks like the product has gone bad, but clearly the formula is not stable and just separates upon opening. Some work to be done on refining but overall works. -

I'm a huge fan of the Uncle Ben's rice packets so I was expecting this product to be very similar. My first time trying it I really wasn't a fan. It felt really sticky and overly seasoned for one portion, not fulfilling and just confusing to use.
I got a second sample and decided to pan fry some veggies first and then mix in the rice as almost seasoning blend. This worked a lot better and I actually really enjoyed it with salmon and focaccia. I feel like the product could used less seasoning if it is marketed as a stand-alone dish, or they should revise their instructions to tell you to mix it with other ingredients to thin out the flavour a bit. What started as a product that turned me off has turned into something that I would actually love to try the different flavours of cause mixing it in with other veggies (almost like a paella) has become a hit for my dinner! One package feeds two larger portions or 3 to 4 small portions. #FreeSample

A good option at the drugstore for a standard mascara that offers length and lash-nourishing benefits. I find the brush to be a bit too spiky for my comfort level, but the formula is good and doesn’t flake or budge much. I always wear a primer underneath though! Not your best option for volume and curl. This offers a drier effect with length and definition. Great for lower lashes and shorter lashes! -

I’ve been using the Whole Blends shampoo and conditioner for two weeks. I use lots of heat when drying/straightening/curling and holy moly am I ever impressed by how silky this has left my hair feeling. My hair becomes perfectly straight on its own thanks to the thick yet lightweight conditioner. All sulfate-free formulas tend to be irritating to the eye area for me, so close tightly. I would highly recommend this line, a bonus that they come in convenient pump tops. #gotitfree #reviewclub -

I’ve been using the Whole Blends shampoo and conditioner for two weeks. I use lots of heat when drying/straightening/curling and holy moly am I ever impressed by how silky this has left my hair feeling. Note that the shampoo can cause intense stinging if it gets in the eyes, but it does clean the scalp thoroughly in one go. All sulfate-free formulas tend to be irritating to the eye area for me, so close tightly. I would highly recommend this line, a bonus that they come in convenient pump tops. #gotitfree #reviewclub -

I’ve only used the Plumping Treat Watermelon Mask once but the scent and whipped texture is divine. For those with drier hair, the Garnier hair masks are true drugstore gems. I've used a full avocado one before and it was amazing. I actually learned that you should apply a hair mask in between shampoo and conditioner, so the conditioner can lock in the moisture from the mask. Genius! -

On the days when I can only manage two steps in the AM (spoiler: most days) this is what I use! Garnier Micellar Cleansing Water All-in-1 with Vitamin-C truly cleanses and brightens with no rising. There’s no fragrance and it’s great for sensitive combo skin. I don’t use this for makeup removal because I find the Vitamin-C irritates my eyes and the pads get kind of wrinkled up. Much better in the AM for me! #gotitfree -

I love to apply my micellar water with one of these cleansing pads first thing in the morning! Make sure to wash thoroughly beforehand and grab one of the Freon Collective washbags to keep track of them in the machine. I don't love using these for makeup removal because I find the dual-layers get all wrinkly and don't "scrub" well. So I use my Freon Collective for that too and leave these for the AM. #gotitfree -

At around $6 and available at most grocers, Mott's Clamato Caesar Reserve offers a delicious mix of complex spices and natural ingredients with no MSG, colourants or corn syrup. I think it’s tastier than my go to right now which is Walters. I was shocked to realize that other mixes have such unnatural ingredients. I will keep a lookout for this when it goes on sale because I think it is super delicious. I will definitely buy it again, thanks ChickAdvisor for the sample! #mottsclamatoreserve #productreviewclub -
