I received this product only a few days ago, so I only got to try it out once. Let's call this my first impressions review. I have dry skin and because of that I started getting fine lines and wrinkles early. This retinol face skin is so easy to use. I started using it on my forehead and sides of my noses, and I'll expand to the whole face over time. I didn't experience any sensitivity or redness upon application, but I did feel slight tingling, very manageable. After an hour my forehead got itchy, but again, manageable. It's easy to apply, glides well over skin and doesn't tug. I love that I don't get my hands dirty. I do need to note that it's greasy, but since it should be applied at night this is not an issue for me. -

I received this product only a few days ago, so I only got to try it out once. Let's call this my first impressions review. I have dry skin and because of that I started getting fine lines early, especially around my eyes. I was looking for a retinol eye cream or serum for this area, but I was a little bit afraid to try one. This retinol eye stick completely exceeded my expectations. I didn't experience any sensitivity, redness or even tingling upon application. It's easy to apply, glides well over skin and doesn't tug. I love that I don't get my hands dirty. I'll continue using it with hope that it'll help with my fine lines, melasma and milia around eyes. I do need to note that it's greasy, but since it should be applied at night this is not an issue for me. -

I tried a variety of Revive products and everything is delicious. I love their Acai smoothie and the tortilla soup. Their frozen desserts could be creamier, and I would love to see non-spicy falafel pops, but literally all of their products are perfect for busy days when I need a quick meal or snack. -

My daughter loves watching Gabby's dollhouse and singing the theme song, so this toy had to be a hit, and it is. The Gabby's Dollhouse Craft-a-riffic Gabby Girl playset comes with a fun and well sized Gabby girl, a Baby Box Cat figure, a small pad with a water reveal label, a brush and a cup, a smock for Gabby and three activity sheets. The doll has articulated arms that move in the shoulder in every direction, which is fun, but the legs can only be moved together. The box cat can only move one arm, which I personally find odd. But my daughter loves them both, so I guess that's great. The mini pad with the cup and brush is an extra activity that my daughter uses separately from this playset, so we got a 2-in-1 toy here (and a happy mum). I find the activity sheets pretty useless. Overall the playset has enough parts for the price. My box says it's only available at Walmart, but a quick search online shows it's not available even there yet, so it may be coming soon. The recommended age is 3+ and I'd say that's spot on! Our Gabby decided to draw some daisies outside - check out the photo! -

We were lucky to be chosen by Familyrated to test and review a few Spinmaster toys for free. They sent us three Gabby's Dollhouse, surprise blind mini figures, and we were lucky enough to get three different figures. The figures are quite cute, and each comes with its own stand. We don't like that the toys come out of the stand easily, especially the Kitty Fairy (the pink one), but without the stand they can't stand 😂 Long story short, I'll have to glue them in to avoid tantrums. The little houses are nice as storage, but don't provide much when it comes to playing. It would be nice if they could open in front. They'll probably be used to build a "city" eventually. My daughter is very into pretend play and people, so these are perfect for her and will get used, but they could've been made a bit better.
.
Please note, these toys are rated 3+ because the figurines are quite small and a definite choking hazard. So, regardless of your child's age, if they're still putting things into their mouth, this won't be a good choice for them.

Kraft Hazelnut Spread with Cocoa

I received a little sample of this spread, and tried it on cookies. It was delicious. There was enough to cover two cookies, and I could really taste the hazelnuts. Also, it's not overly sweet like some other similar spreads. I didn't expect to love it so much, and it's already on my grocery list for next week. -

I know it's not the most important thing, but I love love love the texture of this moisturizer. It's so bouncy, but once applied it melts and becomes almost watery. It absorbs fast, but not immediately, I'd say it takes a minute or two. It has a light floral/fresh scent that lingers for a little while. My skin looks plump and bright immediately, and it doesn't get greasy. When I wake up, the drier areas of my face look a bit flaky, so I've been layering a balm over this moisturizer in those areas, and that works better for me. So, for those with drier skin this may not be the best product. For my combo skin I think it works well, especially as the weather is getting warmer. -

I'm generally happy with these makeup removing wipes, but there is some room for improvement. They do the thing that's promised well - they remove all of my makeup. I need two wipes for my whole face if I'm wearing a foundation, one if I'm not. They're just wet enough, and I don't have to rub too much. They could make them softer, though, as they do feel a bit scratchy on my eyelids. The hyaluronic acid addition is nice, but since I have dry skin I have to moisturize immediately after using them. However, I don't find them as drying as some other wipes, which is the reason I'd buy them again for occasional use. -

A lot of moisturizers for dry skin are very heavy, but sometimes I want something light and effective, and this product is exactly that. It's very light, spreads easily and absorbs withing a minute. It leaves my skin visibly moisturized and smooth to the touch, but not greasy nor sticky, so I can get dressed immediately after applying it. Even my extremely dry areas, like knees and hands, already look much better. It has no added fragrance, however I noticed a very light powdery sweet scent, which is great, since so many unscented products have an off-putting scent. Overall, I can recommend this product. -
Garnier Fructis Hydrating Hair Treat 1 Minute Hair Mask Aloe Extract

After using the mask twice I am already in love. The formula is vegan and 94% biodegradable, contains no silicone, parabens or artificial colorants, and the ingredients are 98% naturally derived. All that is great, but this mask, after just two uses made my hair SO SOFT. I have a coarse hair with thick strands, so feeling it soft like this is rare. Luckily I got two jars (100 and 400 ml), but I'll be stocking up. -
