I have seen the Sambucol brand and know of elderberry, but this was my first time trying them! I cant say that the product helped or didn't help after a few gummies, but I am a firm believer in zinc/vitamin c being helpful in the battle against these bugs so I feel like these WOULD work. I really enjoyed that the gummies were vegan/vegetarian friendly, as well as not containing any artificial flavors/colors/sweeteners as I try to purchase products that are a little more natural, but wasn't a fan of the fact the gummies contain vegetable oil. The sugar content is lower at 1g per gummy but still a little higher than Id like seeing as it's recommended for an adult to take up to 6 a day. That being said, I still actually found them a little tart, but not unpleasant. Price wise, I am not sold - with the recommendation of 3-6 gummies for an adult, you will go through a bottle in a week - its a wee bit pricy to keep on hand, in my opinion - and a reason why I probably wouldn't think of buying them first when I was looking for a product to help with cold/flu symptoms.

The Aveeno Calm + Restore Nourishing PHA Exfoliator was a surprise from the start; I was expecting a grainy product so the smooth liquidy product was a surprise - but I can see why it would be gentle without the abrasion.
Since using the product, I found my skin feels moisturized after washing rather than the tight feeling you sometimes experience with other products. I haven't experience any agitation my sensitive skin. It does a good job cleaning the surface of my face but i feel i could almost use a slightly deeper clean.
While I can't feel the exfoliating factor, i am impressed with its ability to protect the skin’s natural moisture barrier and that it agrees with my sensitive skin.

Every year around the start of fall time I suffer from itchy skin & eczema. The itch is often unbearable and I’ve struggled to find something to sooth my skin.
The AVEENO Calm+Restore Skin Therapy Balm has been a saving grace for being that something I was searching for - it’s worked wonderfully to moisturize my skin and relieve the constant itch! I am so impressed & relieved that I’ve finally found something to help.
While it is a thicker cream, I found it absorbed very well and a little goes a long way.
Highly recommended!

I am in love with the Bai Antioxidant Infusion Kula Watermelon! It is the perfect summer drink - I found it to be very refreshing, full of a great watermelon flavor and a healthier choice with it being low in sugar, sodium and high in vit-c! I also liked the kick of caffeine to keep me going -

I received a sample of the Colgate Total Advanced repair to trial and I can say I quite liked how it worked!
It has a very light minty taste to it, which I feel COULD be a little stronger for that lasting freshness, but it was still a very pleasant taste. It definitely foams up on your teeth differently than other toothpastes - it seems to cover your teeth more thoroughly and i found there was not any waste being spit into the sink when rinsing like other toothpastes. I found it to hold up to its claims of freshening, not cause any sensitivity, clean well and freshen my breath. I would recommend!

received a seven day trial of the Clarins double serum from Butterly; and didn’t have huge hopes of it being the holy grail of skincare products… I was wrong!
After 4 days of use, my skin WAS visibly smoother, brighter and long lasting hydration! Fine lines were less noticeable!
The serum was very easy to apply, absorbed quickly and didn’t leave any greasy feel. Paired well with make up.
It’s pricy, but it’s worth the hype!

COVERGIRL Simply Ageless Lash Plumping Mascara

I have naturally blonde eyelashes, so mascara is a MUST in my make up routine - I lean towards one that thickens and accentuates my naturally long lashes.
I found the Simply Ages did live up to the claim of being clump free, but it failed to plump my lashes. I actually found they were hard to see unless you were up close.
The pros though - easy to apply, non clumping, long lasting and did not smudge. I can’t say I felt my lashes were healthier - but that may take more time !
Not the mascara for me - but a solid purchase none the less.

I have been a big fan of the Orange Naturals brand, after had tried other products of theirs, so I was quite excited to the collagen.
My thoughts ? Very easy to use, as it dissolves instantly into water, or my favorite - my morning coffee.
There is also zero taste - making it even easier to use.
Result wise, I didn’t notice a difference yet in my skin/wrinkles but did feel my usually brittle nails grew much quicker and were stronger. I also felt I had less breakage of my hair !
All in all, a great product I will continue to use!

Easy to apply & long lasting - the Schmidt’s natural deodorant hit the mark!
I found the rose/vanilla scent to be strong (a little stronger than I prefer) and heavy on the vanilla notes.
I work a very physical job and the spray I applied in the morning kept me fresh my entire day, living up to its 48 hour promise.
I also noticed no white marks on my clothing
All in all, i am very impressed as other natural brands I have tried jace not lasted a day, so this a win from the line - though I think I still prefer a traditional stick deodorant I will most likely buy again
