I must admit I was a little nervous when I received this product to review as the first thing that popped in my mind was ...MESS, but surprisingly not what I expected. First I like that they already came 'hydrated', so I didn't need to add water and wait for them to expand. They were ready for the kids to play with. My boys loved playing with them and I think this will be a great thing to take to our trailer this summer to play with, especially on a rainy day. We went on youtube and found a video on how to make stress balls with a balloon and orbeez inside(pic attached). My boys LOVED that and have been squishing them like crazy. No issues on it breaking so far (just need to make sure all the air is out of the balloon before tying it). My only recommendation for this product is that these be an outdoor thing to play with - can they be played with indoors, yes, however, they are very bouncy and fast so with one little slip of little hands you could potentially have orbeez bouncing and rolling around your house.
My boys give this a big thumbs up and have loved playing with them. They have even asked for more.

My boys absolutely loved this! We were selected to try the Canadian Peaches & Cream Frozen Yogurt and it was delicious. Very smooth and not overly sweet. Great peach flavour with little chunks of peaches inside. Did not taste like a typical frozen yogurt more like a creamy ice cream.
My only complaint was it was very difficult to find. I went to 6 grocery stores efore finding this flavour (not sure if it is because it is a new flavour). All in all my boys (and I ) give this a big thumbs up - they have already said they don't want to run out of this flavour. Looking forward to trying some of the other new flavours as well.

This cream has a very light and whipped texture. The smell is not very strong which I like as I do not like strong smells on my facial products. It goes on a little sticky, but dries quickly without that sticky feeling. My skin did not look or feel greasy after. Overall it was ok but because it was a one time sample use, its hard to determine if I would buy this in the future as I wasen't able to test it for a long period of time. -

We were very excited to be chosen for this Family Rated Product Review. My boys have watched the show a couple times but do not have any of the toys so they were excited to be able to try on out. Product itself is packaged very well did not arrive damaged or dented. With that being said my boys lost interest in this toy after a few minutes. They tossed it around but then left it. There are no instructions on how to put the toy back into a ball, or instructions on how to 'play' a game with this (if that's what you are supposed to do - not really sure). If came with cards and tokens but no actual instructions on what to do.
If your child is a Bakugan fan and already has some of these toys then I think it is a great toy for them to add to their collection. However, if your child is like mine that has never played with these, then not sure if its for them. Instructions would be very helpful with knowing what to do.

Our kids loved game night when we pulled this out. Firstly, the packaging is fantastic - a hard silver case lined on the inside, with a latch to close it. No need to worry about a bent or broken box like other board games. One thing that really surprised us is that it came with instructions to play 16 different types of domino games (who knew there was more then one way to play - we didn't). Some of the games on there were too advanced for my little guys, but I think my 10 year old will love playing them in the future. The dominoes themselves are hard, well made and have a good weight to them (they were not cheaply made at all). Great game for young and older to play and the best part is because of the portable case it is easy to toe around, so this will definitely be coming with us next summer to our trailer to enjoy as well.
I would definitely recommend this game to any family to play.

We are big Harry Potter fans in our house, so my son was so excited that we got selected for this. He was so excited when he received it and asked if there were other wands.
It arrived in a tall box, that reminded me of a tower, as the top had a triangular roof type shape to it. The wand itself is light and made out of hard plastic, it isn't bendy but with enough pressure I'm sure it could snap (so careful with it around little kids). The plastic has carvings throughout to give it the real appearance of wood (without actually being wood), they did a great job on the details of it to make it appear like a real wand. Shape, colour all of it looks like a replica of the wand in the movie only lighter in colour as its not actually made of wood. The wand came with a spell card and shows you the right way to move the want to pretend to do a spell. My kids loved it and were running around the house pretending to 'do magic'.
My son has now displayed it on his shelf in his room, and said he wants to get Harry Potter's Wand next.
Very happy with this product and so were my kids - thank you Spinmaster and Family Rated Club!

I was super excited to try this product once I got picked for this product review club. When I got the product the first thing I noticed was the smell...SMELLS AMAZING ( I had the almond oil version), however that's about all it did for me. I purposely didn't wash my hair one day (i have to wash daily or I'm extremely greasy on top). I used the foam and i liked that it didn't leave any white from the product on my hair, however it made my hair look greasier then it was. As it dried i found it left my hair stiff like I had a ton of gel/hairspray in it.
I see that a lot of people recommend this product, but for me it didn't work. I enjoyed the smell and that's about it.

My kids absolutely loved the Mango Peach flavour and asked right away for me to place it in their lunch the following day. Although this product can be eaten at room temperature or directly from the fridge, my kids enjoyed it more coming directly out of the fridge cold.
This product contains fibre(2g), Sodium (0), and no added sugars (but does have a high sugar content at 11g). Texture is good - smooth with no chunks or pieces inside. It is great as a snack for kids and adults as well as a good add on as part of breakfast or lunch.
Product was easy to find in the 3 groceries stores i went to and reasonably priced based on what you get.
I will definitely be purchasing this again.

I love Motrin - it is a product that we always have in our house as a pain reliever. I was super excited to receive this free product to review.
The pill itself is fairly small and easy to swallow. No taste when swallowing or aftertaste once ingested. As a liquid gel I did find it quicker to relieve pain then a standard pill. It is great for any minor aches and pains, menstrual pain and my definite go to for headache and migraine relief.
I would definitely recommend this product and will be re-purchasing this in the future once this bottle is complete.

I am not much of a pop drinker, but I do love drinking Canada Dry Gingerale. I was so excited to be selected for this campaign as I have tried all the different flavors of Canada Dry Gingerale, and wanted to try this one as well.
I absolutely loved this Cranberry flavour - sweet, bubbly, beautiful holiday red colour and very refreshing. My husband loved mixing this flavour with Vodka and Ice. I did receive the full value coupon for this campaign and did not have to pay, however looking at the price on the shelf, it was a great price for the amount you get.
My only 2 complaints is - it is high in sugar (but I'm sure that's what makes it so delicious), and I found it hard to locate in stores. I understand this is a limited edition flavour and maybe that's why it was hard to find, but took me 3 stores before I was able to locate it.
