GAME CHANGER!!! I fell in love with a micelar water from a sample and now magic will need to be performed to get me to switch.
I got a sample many moons ago of BIODERMA Sensibio H2O Micellaire Solution and I scoffed. Then I tried it. My last purchase was a set of two big bottles from Shoppers Drug Mart before they had a great sale and this is an amazing product.
It is unbelievably gentle, yet cleans caked on make up, mascara and lipstick in just a couple of passes at most. It does not bother my sensitive skin and I got a smidge in my eye once and didn't feel any burn. The lid design doesn't squirt too much out. I find you get decent control even with the big bottle so you don't waste product. I have used this as toner in a pinch and it worked without drying out my skin.
I am so happy I received that sample way back when. Life is much easier now!

I am basing my review on two samples I received in bonus bags from Clinique.
The jelly does give you a quick hydration boost, and it is a pretty color with these interesting pearls. But the hydration fades quickly and the product feels sticky on your hands, tacky on your face and takes a while to absorb. I don't feel it's worth mixing with my moisturizer.
Clinique makes other, much better hydrating products and moisturizing products.

Only pro was that this sheet mask smelled fantastic. I craved a smoothie from the minute I opened the package. They should make this scent a body spray.
But while it smelled great, it didn't do anything for my skin, no changes from before it went on except my skin was wet.
The mask fit ok ish, but for some reason there is more material on one side than the other. This is the second time that happened with this brand, hasn't happened with any other. No extra liquid in the package but the mask didn't feel dry.
Didn't feel calming or soothing in any special way either, just there. I would suggest to spend your money on a mask that gives actual benefits.

One of my favorite foot creams! Freeman Peppermint & Plum Bare Foot Softening Foot Balm smells great and feels so good when rubbed into tired, sore feet.
It does help keep your feet soft and nourished. I have never tried it with the goal of softening an established callus, so I am not sure what it would do. But it is great for daily use, even in the summer when your feet aren't protected by closed shoes.
One of my go-tos and also very affordable.

Does the job, but wish the smell wasn't as strong.
The package comes with the cream and 2 orange sticks. I should have read that very tiny print, I bought a pack of orange sticks because I thought it was just cuticle cream.
I haven't used this too often. It dissolves a lot of my problem cuticles and I don't want to overdo it and gave nothing left. But it isn't an absolute miracle product either. My worst areas are still problematic even after use, though easier to deal with. Sally Hansen is pretty consistent for nail care.

I love this mask. For an inexpensive brand, Life Brand is consistently delivering good sheet masks.
The Hyaluronic and Konjac sheet mask fit well, though maybe a little large around the edges, and was reasonably soft. Very few tingles to my sensitive skin, that faded quickly. My skin glowed when this came off. My blackhead prone areas looked great, my pores tighter, and after moisturizing my skin felt amazing.
I am definitely buying this mask again!

I received a sample from another site for review. I like this unisex perfume. I don't really get the key notes of Roman Chamomile, Coral Jasmine and Vanilla, but I get the undertones of Cedarwood and a bit of musk. I don't find that there is a chemical smell. The full size bottle looks strong and art deco online, a beautiful seafoam color. -

The Oh K! Cucumber sheet mask is supposed to be calm and cooling. It was meh. The mask fit a little funny, I felt it was longer on one side than the other, and it felt dry. Most sheet masks are pretty wet, this one wasn't even though there was extra liquid in the package. I poured the extra liquid over the mask on my face and hoped it would help. No cooling or calming sensation, it felt like I had a dry-ish wet wipe on my face. The only reason the mask has as many stars as I gave it is that once off my skin actually looked pretty good, even though that really wasn't what the mask was advertised for. So I am recommending it if it's REALLY on sale only. -

I received a sample of Cherry Blossom & Jojoba Oil Infused Lotion for review from another review site. I was so excited because I love Nivea's creme body wash.
The lotion absorbs ridiculously quickly for a product with oil, and has no greasy feel. I was so surprised I put it on twice just to be sure. It leaves your skin very soft, but even after two applications, my skin doesn't feel very moisturized or hydrated. I may just be used to thicker creams, and the Cherry Blossom & Jojoba Oil Infused Lotion was a little thin. The scent is very perfume-y though not excessively strong. I can still faintly smell it almost an hour later.
All in all, it's a decent lotion, but if you are used to creams and expect the same richness due to the Jojoba oil, you will be a little disappointed.

The mask was so soft and fit really well. Given my skin, I expected at least some tingling if not a bit of burning - NADA. It felt nice and soothing. I wore it laying down and if I wasn't playing on my phone I would have fallen asleep. The best part was after it was off and the extra liquid rubbed in, my pores looked noticeably tighter and my skin brighter. With moisturizer, my skin feels really soft. I am definitely buying this one again! -
