I received this product for free as part of the Product Review Club. These facial wipes are meant to help remove makeup, even stubborn waterproof mascara and leave your skin feeling moisturized with the addition of Nivea Crème. I did like the way makeup easily glided off but I found myself rubbing quite a while at my eyes to remove the mascara. I don't think I would rely on these entirely to keep my skin clean, but as a last minute resort while travelling or on lazy days, these can work great. Something I did not appreciate was the scent and I do think that this is what made my sensitive skin tingle after using it. I contains alcohol, but I'm not sure if the scent was derived from this or the addition of Nivea Crème. Either way, it is unneeded. I'm glad I got to try them out, but I don't think I would repurchase them considering I have used other wipes that are fragrance and alcohol free. -

I received this product for free as part of the Product Review Club. I really liked the convenience of this all-in-one facial cleansing lotion in that it allowed me to both cleanse my face of makeup and moisturized it at the same time. It made my routine somewhat easier as I could skip the moisturizing step, however, I still felt that I needed to cleanse more than once in order to feel that my skin was completely free of makeup. The cleansing lotion does do a good job at loosening up foundation and heavy eye makeup but the directions advise you to remove it with a cotton pad without rinsing afterwards. I still felt I needed to fully remove any leftover residue, so I did wash my face with the cleansing lotion a second time, massaging it with water and after rinsing, I acquired the clean desired feel I wanted. My skin did feel smooth and soft to the touch. After using it for a week's time, I was also able to notice less dry patches. It's definitely an innovative concept in skin care. I also didn't mind the scent but it reminded me of how a standard lotion would smell - nothing out of the ordinary. -
Old Navy Flip Flops

Not the best flip flops out there, but for $1.00, what can you expect? They are okay for bringing to the beach, but I mostly just wear mine around the house. They tend to break easily but I can usually get 4-5 months of continuous wear before tossing them out. For such a low price, it's not so bad. I wouldn't pay full price for them though. They come in a variety of colors for you to choose from, so you have lots of choice to match your outfits. -
Tupperware Ball and shapes
Such a simple toy, yet very important for a child's development. It helps with shape and primary color recognition, as well as fine motor skills, guiding little hands to try and fit the shape through the identical slot. Once all the shapes are in... +
Such a simple toy, yet very important for a child's development. It helps with shape and primary color recognition, as well as fine motor skills, guiding little hands to try and fit the shape through the identical slot. Once all the shapes are in, just pull the ball apart and shake out the pieces. We had this as kids growing up and we loved it. It has been passed down to every sibling. Great for babies and toddlers. -

This is a very affordable brand of Omega-3 fish oil. I purchased the 180 capsule count at Costco for about 8 dollars on sale. I notice that they don't leave a fishy aftertaste, but I do make sure to take them during my meal. I have to say, though, the capsules are huge! I was afraid I wasn't going to be able to swallow it since I do have trouble with larger vitamins, but since it is in a softgel format, it just glides easily down with some water. Great for cardiovascular health and after taking them for about 2 months, I've noticed I have more energy and feel more alert. This is the only thing that has changed in my diet. I will definitely continue to consume these. -

These chocolates are always a hit during the Easter holidays. They are shaped like little, pastel coloredl eggs with a crispy exterior shell that cracks through to a sweet, chocolate morsel. The combination of textures is what keeps you coming back for more. Delicious and great for filling Easter baskets too! I also have used them for decorating cupcakes and baking cookies. However, my favorite way to eat them is straight out of the bag! -

This is nice blend of green tea, mixed with spearmint and lemongrass. The three flavours together are such a complimentary combination and provide a soothing, relaxing drink. It goes down very smoothly and is very easy to drink. I also like that it doesn't have any bitter aftertaste that you sometimes acquire with green teas. The caffeine level is average but it seemed lighter than advertised, to me. The aroma and taste are light and calming, much like the name given to this tea suggests. One of the best green tea blends I've had in a while! -

I absolutely love this body wash! I get so many compliments after I use it in terms of how good I smell. Everyone is so surprised when I tell them it's a Dove body wash. The scent from the bottle is divine - very fruity and sweet, almost like a mediterranean dessert. The formula is thick and creamy and it turns your skin silky soft once you wash it off. It feels like you're being luxuriously pampered but at a fraction of the cost. I seriously need to stock up on these when there's a sale! -

This shampoo/conditioner duo is pretty good for a 2-in-1 product. It did leave my hair feeling soft and shiny, and it even made it tangle free. It lathers extremely well and the product itself is very thick and creamy, so you really don't need to use a whole lot to fully wash your hair. However, make sure to properly rinse your hair afterwards. When I rushed, my scalp did feel as though it had buildup once my hair was dry, probably because of how rich/thick the formula is. It is great for travelling since you don't have to bring separate shampoo and conditioner bottles with you. I'd say it's an average daily shampoo/conditioner that does a decent job. -

I love the original True Match foundation, so I thought this cushion variety would give me the same turnout. I was disappointed, however, and regret having spent money on this, which was quite expensive for a drugstore foundation (close to $20). The product itself dries out rather quickly in the packaging, which is why I strongly feel the price is a huge rip off. Now here's the thing, if you're looking for a light coverage foundation and like the very natural look, it isn't so bad. Consider it more like a BB or CC cream, in terms of coverage and finish. It's a cross between a matte and glowy finish, but not too dewy looking. If your skin isn't perfect (a.k.a. - blemish free, no fine lines, no visible pores, etc...), then this isn't for you. No matter how much you try to build this up, the turnout remains the same. As for the sponge applicator they provide, I tried it out once and didn't care for it. I also don't find it to be hygienic to keep reusing it, so I switched to the disposable wedge sponges from the dollar store. The shade I chose (i.e., Classic Ivory) was a good match for my fair skintone, I'll give it that. The packaging is very cute and feminine. I also liked that it was compact and portable, allowing for application on the go. It's a shame it wasn't a stellar product. -
