Thanks to Butterly and YSL for the chance to try this free for my honest opinion.
I was excited to try this out as I've never used YSL makeup. The actual tube looks super luxe and has a great feel and weight to it. The blue YSL lettering really stands out. I found that the brush held a lot of product, maybe too much and I got better results by wiping some off of the brush before using. The brush has a good shape to it and you can get all your lashes. This is a quick drying mascara and I had to work quickly. It did do a really good job of lengthening and thickening my lashes but I thought it was a little clumpy. As for the waterproof claim, that was spot on. It's actually hard to remove after a whole day of wearing it. I had to do some scrubbing with my makeup remover cream. It says 48 hours of wear but I didn't test that as I washed it off each night. I wouldn't doubt though that it would last a very long time. It's a quality mascara and I would like to try the non waterproof one to see if there was a difference. It was a 4 out of 5 for me as I did like it but it lost a star from too quick drying time and having too much product on the brush. It would be good for when I want to go extra on wear time and get some drama.

This was the first water based fragrance I've tried. I love that it's a roller ball applicator and so easy to apply. It has a fresh citrus scent and is quite light. I prefer heavier, stronger scents so this would be something I would wear occasionally in the summer. It's nice to see they used sustainable mandarin oils from Brazil. That's something I've never noticed on conventional perfumes. Overall if you like citrus scents it's probably a good option for you. They do have other scents I'd like to try as well. Clean reserve is definitely a good step in the right direction for perfumes.

I was given a sample of these gummies to try and I would definitely buy them again. They have a great flavour and texture to them and i like they don't have artificial colours, preservatives or flavours. It's an easy way to keep sickness away especially in the winter months. My whole family enjoys the taste of these and it's quick to grab one on your way in the morning. Since I only had 4 to try I can't say yet if they're effective but at least the texture is good and the taste. I'll keep taking them to see if they work. The vitamin C and zinc along with elderberry is definitely a great combination.I've had great results with other sambucol products so I think these will be the same.

I got to try this out for a few weeks to see if the claims were true. This renewing body scrub says it will uncover softer, smoother and more evenly toned skin. I noticed first that it was fragrance free and that it was a nice thick texture to it. It's a very gentle scrub and doesn't irritate your skin which is great if you have sensitive skin. After a few uses I did notice it made my skin softer and smooth. I didn't really notice a big change in the tone but i think it's still a great scrub to use. I didn't use too much because I felt like if you used a lot there seemed to be almost a slight film. I think it would be really good for the winter because it's moisturizing and smoothing. I like that it's sulfate and paraben free. Aveeno always has great products and I think this one is another good option in the tone and texture line. -
Bai Antioxidant Infusion Ipanema Pomegranate

I was interested to see what this would taste like. I like that it's only 10 calories a bottle and has a lot of caffeine. Much healthier than the other caffeine drinks out there. I'm not a big fan of sugar substitutes like Erythritol it's just something i don't like the taste of. This drink kind of reminds me of like a diet something. The fruit flavour is good and there isn't an aftertaste. It has a good tartness to it and would probably be even better as a mixer. It might be something i bought once in awhile. -

In exchange for my honest review Butterly sent me a coupon for Chapman's Super Premium Plus Vanilla Trilogy. Vanilla beans from 3 different sources make up this delicious treat. You would think Vanilla is bland and boring. This Vanilla Trilogy is delicious, super creamy and definitely not boring. I tested it on the perfect, hottest week of weather we've had. It was refreshing and smooth with a great aftertaste. Being from Chapman's it was also 100% Canadian dairy which is important to me. I would definitely buy this again and try the other flavours they have too. -

These wax strips are very convenient but I found them to be too small in size. I also didn't like the plastic that they come on. It's too slippery and i would much rather use the strips that Parissa has in other kits. I found these to be slightly effective and take some of the hair off but really only for touch ups. I do like the soothing oil that comes with it. I like that it's a natural product and I do feel better about using that. I just would rather stick to the sugar and strips that Parissa has. -

I regularly use Parissa sugaring but I have never tried the roll on style. I found it was quick to heat up in the microwave but I did need to do more time than it suggested. I also couldn't really tell it was ready because of the packaging. Once it was heated up I did find it easy to roll on but felt like I had to work quicker. It does roll out a nice thin layer of sugar that worked perfectly to remove the hair on my legs. I like that it's natural/organic and an easy product to get a great result. I just think I like the little pots a bit more than this roll on. It is effective though and your skin stays smooth for weeks. -

Colgate is one of my go to toothpastes. This Total clean mint does an amazing and thorough clean of my teeth. Although the mint flavour isn't quite my favourite, I love how clean my teeth feel. They stay this way for a long time after as well. It's definitely a deep clean and i like that it looks after so many things like sensitivity and even whitens. On my list to buy again for sure. -

My husband was the one to try this out. Right away he said it smelled really good and he liked all the foaming wash. He didn't need very much to make a lot of lather and it did a good job cleaning. This was just after a sweaty hike in the woods so it was put to the test! His skin felt moisturized after and he said it didn't feel dry. It's a nice big bottle too so it will last a long time. It would be a buy again product in our house. -
