I received the 70 light Noma Advanced Super Bright Twinkle Icicle Lights for review. The cord is extra thick and looks very durable. The light string has a plug at the end so you can plug in additional sets end to end. I only received the lights right before my diary date so the strands that hang down didn't have time to loosen so I can't speak to whether they will hang straighter after being hung for a while and have more of an icicle look to them. There are two lengths of alternating lighted cord strings, one with 4 lights one with 6 lights. The lights are super bright white and light up very well. I was disappointed to see that only one bulb (2nd from the bottom) from each string twinkled, the rest remain lit, so not really much of a twinkle effect. If you are looking for a more twinkling display, this is not the light string for you. Overall the light looks well hung up and can be used both for a Christmas display and for enhancing your garden area in summer. Be advised that there are no clips provided to hang the lights so you will need to purchase those separate. I would buy another set to use for lighting up my garden area, but prefer a more exciting twinkling or cascading effect for my Christmas display. -

I've only had the opportunity to try out Rénergie H.C.F. Triple Anti-Aging Serum for a few weeks so cannot comment on longer term results, only shorter term. The packaging is elegant and beautiful. The product is dispensed uniquely with the three separated serums dispersed from their individual chambers through separate holes by pumping the container top. You then blend the three serums together in the palm of your hand and then apply to your face once completely blended.
The first serum contains next-generation Hyaluronic Acid, the latest evolution of this ingredient designed with fragmented molecules to provide better absorption into the skin.
- The second serum contains a combination of a highly potent, but stable and fast-working form of Vitamin C and Niacinamide (Vitamin B3), which together are known to help brighten skin and help visibly reduce the appearance of dark spots, fine line, and wrinkles.
- The third serum contains Ferulic Acid, a powerful antioxidant that is stabilized in its own water-free chamber to preserve its potency over time.
The serums dispersed equally and were easily blended. The product was light weight with a pleasant light fragrance. Upon application, immediately my skin had a slight plumpness and my face had a nice glow. The serum blended into my face quickly and easily although there remained a bit of tackiness after application which diminished after app. 20 minutes. I did notice the fine lines around my eyes immediately appeared a little fainter. Unfortunately I experienced some breakout when using the serum. The small amount of breakout I experienced seems to have cleared up upon using the serum only at night.
I have not used the product long enough to tell how effective it will be on my wrinkles or evenness of tone but I can't wait to see how my skin looks once I finish the bottle.

The Costa Rican Clementine Bai drink looks and tastes refreshing! It has a light peach flavor to it that is neither overwhelming nor too weak. The drink is low calorie with only 10 calories per bottle.
There was no after taste from the sweetener used (1 gram sugar and 10 grams of erythritol) and I didn't find the drink overly sweet tasting. This drink is a nice guilt free alternative to plain water.

Colgate Kids Toothpaste Cavity Protection, Bubble Fruit
I received this toothpaste free to try from Butterly. The toothpaste had a nice mild taste and a pleasing color, making it attractive for children to use. I liked that it was sugar free and anti cavity. This toothpaste was a win for young and old.

I received this toothbrush free to review. My first impression was noting how adorable and eye catching the toothbrush is. The color combination is pleasing and who wouldn't love to look at Barbie when brushing their teeth! The bristles were extra soft and did not irritate my little ones teeth/ gums. The vibration was just right, not too powerful or weak. The handle was sized right for holding. The toothbrush lay flat on the counter making it easy to apply toothpaste. The brush came with a battery which is replaceable. The only drawback is that the head is not replaceable. Overall very good toothbrush for young ladies. -

The bottle was attractive with the labelling projecting a refreshing and relaxing environment. The scent was very pleasant but not over powering. The bodywash lathered well without having to use a large amount. Skin felt moisturized after and a light manly scent remained after washing. A light refreshing scent also remained in the washroom after showers. All the men/ boys in my house have requested that I continue to buy this bodywash. So overall a hit in our house! -

I received this item free in exchange for my honest review. The mouthwash had a nice fresh minty taste without being medicinal tasting. It did not burn and sting my mouth or water my eyes like some other mouthwash products I have tried. This allowed me to rinse with the mouthwash for a longer period of time than I was able to with the other products. My mouth was left feeling clean and refreshed. -

The toothpaste left a light minty taste with no overwhelming tingly or burning feeling. My teeth felt very smooth and clean after use, with reduced plaque build up. I was left with a fresh and clean feeling mouth which lasted for some time. The lid/ spout was less messy than other toothpastes I've tried, preventing the toothpaste from oozing out. -

The package for the soap is small, square shaped and a great size for packing away if traveling. Another benefit is you don't have to worry about having the shampoo bar in your carry-on bag since it isn't liquid and there are no concerns about spilling, leaking or limits on liquid amounts allowed in bag. The bar of soap itself is shaped to fit conveniently in the palm of your hand and I had no difficulty with the bar slipping from my hand when lathered. The bar wasn't excessively slippery and was not slimey like some soap bars. I was a bit skeptical that the soap would provide sufficient lather to wash my long, very thick hair but once I wet the bar my concerns were gone. The shampoo bar lathered extremely easily and provided more than enough bubbly soap to cover my hair from roots to tips. Very little water was required to get the shampoo bar lathered up. The instructions on the box contained illustrations and words so was very easy to follow. The washing is much like using a regular bar of soap in your hands but you are holding the soap by your hair and lathering into your hair. Washing my hair was quicker and neater than using shampoo in a bottle. I felt I didn't use much of the bar to clean my hair and didn't have to worry about shampoo dripping into the shower/ tub. The smell of the bar was very nice, subtle and not over powering, nor overly sweet or perfumey. In fact I also used it to wash with because of the nice scent lol! It was a very calming, aromatic scent. The compact size makes for easy storage and less counter space being required which is appreciated. Overall a great product! -

Upon receiving this tea, I noted that the container was rounded and compact in a calming color palette, clearly labeled that the flavor was vanilla. Upon opening the tin, a subtle aroma of vanilla emerged, not over powering or chemical. I liked that the tea bags were circular to fit easily in a cup and that they were not wrapped making it quick and easy to plop into a mug. The taste of the tea was smooth and not overpowering with a subtle taste of vanilla. I enjoyed the tea with a bit of sweetener but think it would be fabulous with cream or made into a London fog. I'm very pleased with the taste of this tea and will purchase another tin once I'm done. -
