I was excited to receive TheraBreath Whitening Oral Rinse to try. I liked that it did not contain alcohol or dyes, and it whitens teeth.
The taste was not strong, and it did not sting like some alcohol-based (or even non-alcohol-based) mouthwash products. I did not have any problem using it for the duration of two minutes as recommended. The mint scent is light and pleasant. After rinsing, my mouth felt comfortably minty and not too strong. Maybe because I am used to strong minty scent, I felt like my mouth wasn't feeling as fresh as I would like to.
When I used it before bed, my breath the next morning was not as fresh as I would have liked. Compared to other mouthwash products, which still left my breath smelling good in the morning, TheraBreath Whitening Oral Rinse didn't provide that fresh feeling the next morning.
As for the whitening, I cannot comment on it at the moment, because I used it only twice and had to review the product within a week or receiving it.

PanOxyl PM Blemish Brightening Patches

This was the first time I ever knew about or used a patch for acme and skin problems. I occasionally develop pimples, but did not know how to deal with it. I applied the patch on a pimple for four days (the number of sample patches I received). It didn't seem to do anything the first day, but from the second to fourth days, I could see that the patches absorbed what seems to be excess oil from the pimple. The pimple seemed to shrink a little faster, but it still left scarring, and the patch didn't really do much about reducing the look of the scar. I might purchase this item again and apply them longer. The sample contained only four patches, but the package mentioned that it helps reduce the appearance of acne and skin marks in ten days. Perhaps a longer application might make my skin heal and look better.

I received and tried Sambucol Black Elderberry Daily Immune Drink Powder (Advanced Immune, Vitamin C). It dissolved well with room-temperature water. It tasted OK, but also had a plastic-y taste to it, which I didn't like. It's difficult to see if my immunity is better just by trying the sample, but I like that it's an easy way to take vitamin C and boost immunity.

I've tried Bai Antioxidant Infusion drink before and liked some of the flavours. This time, I tried Zambia Bing Cherry. I am not a fan of cherry-flavoured anything, so I was a little worried that I wouldn't like the taste of this drink. Surprisingly, the cherry taste wasn't empowering, and I enjoyed it (maybe because the juices are natural). I still prefer other flavours of Bai, but I could see myself choosing Zambia Bing Cherry flavour again. -

I've used an oil-based cleanser in the past, and I didn't like the greasy feeling after washing. This product, however, does not have the greasy after-feel. It cleans well (including make-up), has a nice scent, and makes your face feel soft and moisturized. If I ever need a cleansing oil, I would purchase this product. -

I liked that this mascara applicator had an arch shape, so it fit my eyelashes better than other mascaras. When I applied the mascara, it was crumbly and not very smooth. I could see small chunks of mascara on my lashes and powdery residue on my face. It was difficult to apply the mascara smoothly (despite the nicely-shaped applicator) on my lashes, so I gave up after a few tries. -

Chapman's Canadian Blueberries & Cream Frozen Yogurt has a very strong blueberry flavour, with real blueberry pieces. It is very creamy and soft -- very easy to eat and enjoy. Usually, after eating ice cream, I get an aftertaste of milk in my mouth and my stomach feels a bit heavy. With this product, I did not have either. I would definitely buy this product again and probably other Chapman's frozen yogurt flavours. -
COVERGIRL Clean Fresh Weightless Water Cream™
As the name suggests, this cream is very light. I usually don't use gel-type creams, because they tend to be too thin, which is a compromise for being light. However, this cream is not only light, but moisturizing enough and lasts a very long time.
