This automatic shuffler is a quick and inexpensive solution if you’re too lazy to shuffle one or more decks of cards yourself and you don’t mind if they aren’t shuffled properly. It was a little annoying having to use a screwdriver to get into the battery compartment, but otherwise this device was easy to operate. The main issue is that it shuffles the deck but not very well, especially if you’re trying to shuffle two decks at once. Even with just two people playing a simple card game, this was quite a nuisance. I don’t think this would be the type of shuffler for enthusiasts or those trying to play more serious games at home. -

The Benzagel After Care Moisturizing Lotion is one amazing product. It has excellent ingredients, so nothing to complain about there. I had no sensitivities to it. It was unscented, which I love and was so light you really couldn’t tell that you even had it on. Oddly enough, that’s the only thing that bothered me. My skin didn’t actually feel very moisturized, so I wanted to reach for something else to apply on top, but I refrained just so I could be true to the review and wanted to try it alone. I want to love this product more but I don’t see myself reaching for it instead of the products I had been using previously. I definitely suggest trying it for yourself and see if this is the uber-lightweight moisturizer you’ve been looking for. #tryBenzagelMoisturizer #gotitfree -

I really wanted to like this product but I kept finding that it was causing me to have a dry spot at the corner of my mouth. unlike the other Neutrogena Hydro Boost products I've tried, this is the only one that was really scented. It wasn't too strong where I couldn't use it at all, but I have a sneaking suspicion that the added fragrance is what had to do with this slight reaction I had to the product. I will keep testing to see if it was something else, but this is what I noticed in the couple of weeks that I used the product and seemed to be consistent in the same area whenever I applied it. For me it had the opposite effect of being hydrating, so unfortunately I can't recommend it at this time. -

I've never tried a serum quite like this where the product is applied from a dropper instead of a pump, but i quite like it so I could apply it directly to trouble spot and then spread outward and all over. You could really tell that this product works as your skin feels hydrated even though the product is very lightweight and airy. I liked how it felt going on and loved how I didn't feel it afterwards. This product is everything it says and more. -

I initially tried the Joico Zero Heat Air Dry Styling Crème when my hair was already dry and I wanted to refresh it quickly with a mix of another product. It did the trick on that day, but it did have a strong scent, so buyer beware. Apart from the smell, I didn't really notice a difference between it and what I normally use to refresh my hair, so I decided to try it again properly with my next wash, so instead of my usual cream product, I used the Joico. Again, it didn't work any different than my usual styling cream. I guess I was expecting miracles, but I got the same old, same old. That's not necessarily a bad thing, but it's also not enough to get me to buy this product again once it's used up as it's any better than what I'm currently using. If you haven't found your go-to product yet, maybe this is it, but chances are if you have, then this won't be an upgrade. -

I tried my Schmidt's Lavender+Sage natural deodorant soon after receiving it, but I could tell upon opening the box that I wouldn't be using it too often. It had a pungent smell without even having to open the product itself; although, the packaging itself was great and had the sanitary cap that made me feel comfortable using it. Lavender is a strong enough, and pleasant, smell on its own, so I'm not sure why they thought they needed to add the Sage to it, but I think that was a major faux-pas. I will continue to use the product, but don't see myself buying it in the future. It's great for those high-stress days or when you know you'll be particularly sweaty to mask any odours, but otherwise, I don't think I need something that strong. Nonetheless, I didn't get any irritation from using the product, which is always great as my skin can be a bit sensitive with new products from time to time. I was really rooting for this deodorant, but I think they were trying too hard to be different. With the right scent combinations, I think they'll do well and may crush the competition one of these days. For now, would I recommend it? Yes and no. Yes, because maybe this is the ideal product for someone who is worried about covering up their body odour but doesn't want to use conventional antiperspirants. No, because I think they could do better on the scent combinations. #gotitfree -

Upon receiving the Batiste Waterless Cleansing Foam with Almond Oil package, I was very excited to open and tried it right away, which I did! The instructions were super-simple and the foam was much easier to apply than other dry shampoos. I was pleasantly surprised and, although I went overboard in my first application, it seems like you might not be able to use too much of it. Of course, if you're sensitive to scents, if you used too much it might be overpowering, but, as someone who is scent-sensitive, I found the scent of the product fairly light and unobtrusive. It was nice and light and wasn't bothersome to me or my scent-sensitive husband either. I can't rave about this product enough, so much so that I've already recommended it to a friend and wouldn't hesitate to recommend it again. It's fantastic and something I could use everyday. Great job, Batiste! #gotitfree -

I was very excited to try this moisturizer; hence the reason why I put way too much on on my first try. I was very disappointed by how white it made my brown skin look due to the SPF 30, but I guess I should've expected that with how high the SPF was. Toning down the SPF would make this a much better product and would work with more skintones, or have a variety with varying levels of SPF, so they don't inadvertently alienate a whole sector of their market. Nonetheless, the moisturizer did feel good going on and did not cause me any breakouts or irritation on my sensitive skin. The product was odour free, which I LOVED. Manufacturers tend to add scents to products marketed even for people with sensitive skin, which is usually a major irritant, but with this one I appreciate that they haven't. The price of the product seems a bit steep for basically just being a glorified sunblock. I most likely would not buy it again until they bring down the SPF or add pigment for other skintones. #gotitfree -

I really don't find anything special about this cleanser. I don't feel any calming affect on my skin after using it, and it doesn't seem to do anything other cleanse your face, I suppose, which is a good start at least. I haven't looked up all the ingredients, but they're questionable at best. If you're looking for all-natural, don't look here, but it does work on my sensitive face and didn't cause any breakouts. All-in-all, it's a basic cleanser that works. If it's worth the price, it's hard to say, but although I'd like it to be cheaper, that will most likely come at a cost of poorer quality ingredients. Even if it were on sale, I probably wouldn't buy it again as I prefer my cleansers to have a light scrub of some sort in them, but this is just a cleanser only with nothing fancy about it. -
