I was chosen to try the Mastercraft General Tool Set and Picture Hanging Kit for free, and it couldn’t have come at a better time! We’re in the middle of upgrading our kids’ rooms and hanging up new pictures, so it was perfect. We were able to hang up a ton of pictures effortlessly without making a huge mess on the walls. We even used the stud finder to hang up some shelves we had laying around.
I love that it comes with a convenient carry bag to keep everything organized together. It includes a wide variety of hardware options, making it easy to hang pictures or mount just about anything you need on your walls.
I really liked that the pencil sharpener fits those odd-shaped carpenter pencils you find at hardware stores. The hammer has a nice weight to it and feels sturdy, not cheaply made at all. The magnets on both the stud finder and the level are quite strong, which made the job easier. The only small issue I noticed was with the mini level, the middle black piece occasionally pops out if it fits a surface a bit roughly, but it snaps back in easily and doesn’t affect usability.
It's really comparable to other products we have used in the past. The nice thing about this is you don't have to buy the items separately and there's different hardware depending on how you want to hang the pictures up. The quality holds up to other brands that also produce hardware for hanging pictures.
Overall, this is a great, practical set to have on hand, especially for simple home projects.

I was lucky to be chosen to try Myoflex Extra Strength Deep Penetrating Pain Relief Rub by Exzell Pharma for free.
The product is easy to apply and is advertised on the packaging as fast absorbing. While it did rub in easily, I didn’t find it absorbed noticeably faster than other similar pain relief rubs. Once applied, I found it provided a cooling sensation, though it didn’t last very long. My husband also tried it and experienced the same cooling effect. It does offer temporary pain relief, but I didn’t find it to be better or worse than other comparable products I have tried in the past.
I think I prefer the cooling effect more than a warming one, as I sometimes find heat can be a little too much. We used Myoflex for everyday back pain. Mine was more in my upper back and shoulder area, while my husband used it for his lower back. We used it for about a week so we could really see how it worked.
The product claims to be fast-absorbing, greaseless, and odour-free. There was a very slight scent when first squeezing it out of the tube, but it wasn’t overpowering. Once applied, there was no noticeable smell at all. It also didn’t leave my skin feeling greasy, which I appreciated, there was no sticking to clothing.
As with any product, be sure to read and follow the instructions carefully before use.

My girls and I were lucky enough to be chosen to try the Mastercraft Crafting Canvas for Oil and Acrylic Paint for free, and we were pleasantly surprised by the quality. It was a good addition to our paint night.
The canvases are lightweight but still feel sturdy and the material had a decent thickness to it . We usually buy ours from the dollar store, so this was definitely a step up.
The paint went on smoothly, though we did need a second coat to fill in the small indents, which is pretty normal. We tested both acrylic paints and oil paints, they both applied nicely. I also tested some texture art using putty, and it adhered to the canvas really well.
Overall, we were very happy with these canvases and would definitely use them again!

I was selected to try PanOxyl Acne Body Spray for free for my honest review.
I like the concept of being able to spray the product especially for the back since it is hard to reach by yourself.
It comes out like a light mist so it doesn't feel like the product is being caked on. There is no sticky or greasy feeling afterwards and it does dry quickly. I found that it does have a bit of a chemical smell but it doesn't last long and it's not strong.
The product contains salicylic acid, with hazel and aloe, plus niacinamide and vitamin C to help with acne.
I've used it for 5 days now and I have seen improvement to my back. I've been applying it after I take a shower that why the skin is clean. I also have applied the spray to my face by putting the product on my hands and applying just as the bottle indicates.
This is something that can easily be added to an acne skin routine. Does not take a lot of time and it makes it possible to reach places you couldn't before. Just make sure to read the instructions on the bottle before hand.

I was chosen to test DAP Alex Plus Caulk & Drydex Spackling Kit by DAP for free. We bought our house a couple of years ago and are slowly doing renos. With winter just around the corner we are resealing the windows and doors as then need some touch ups.
As far as application goes it's very simple to apply. It smooth out pretty nicely too. Some places we had to reapply as it didn't give a smooth appearance but it was an easy fix. It also dries quickly.
Make sure you follow the instructions and the before care of the surfaces you are applying it to, to get the best application.

Zarbee's® Baby Immunity Syrup by Kenvue Canada was a free product that I was gifted and it came at a perfect time, as my youngest was starting to get the dreadful summer cold.
I have used other cold fighting products that were made with unwanted additivesm I found this worked just as well as the normal brand we usually purchase, which is a bonus that we have another option now.
My daughter didn't complain about the taste which is a good thing, as she is picky when it comes to flavours.
I like that it helps with her immunity and will help keeps her healthy.
I followed the instructions that was on both bottles to ensure I was giving the right dose. The instructions are straightforward and easy to follow.

I was picked to test out Lubriderm® Spring 2024 by Kenvue Canada for free! It's free of parabens, phthalates land dyes.
Applying lotion is part of my morning and night routines, so it was easy to just make the switch.
It's unscented as they come. When I use my regular lotion, once it's applied you have a bit of a scent on you but this lotion has none. I've been around people and nobody has mentioned they can smell the lotion. So if you are sensitive to smells or love with someone who is this may be a good option!
As far as the application it spreads easily and nicely. It does go a long way. You don't have a greasy feeling afterwards or a shine to the skin. It absorbs quickly, so your able to get dressed without feeling that your clothes are getting stuck on the lotion. It's just a simple turn that closes and opens the pump!
Since using it my skin has stayed hydrated, which is a good thing! If I don't use lotion my legs do get dry, so it does what it says! It says it can be used on your face I've tried it twice and didn't break out.
I really think people who have senstitvies this may be a good match!

I was given the opportunity to test the Sarna Bug Bite Patches for free and I must say they will be a must need for this summer!
I honestly didn't think they would work but they did! I don't know if it plays a trick on your mind by having a patch on but, those bites did not itch. My children ended up usijg some as well and whatever bites had the patches they did not touch.
They are very simple to apply, just need to be careful when peeling them off they easily can get suck on it's self. They stay on very well, I even showered with mine on to see what would happen and it stayed. My daughter's had their own at school some stayed and some didn't. But over all I would say they are pretty good at staying in place.
They are safe to use on children which is a bonus!

I was given the opportunity to test this sunscreen for free.
You can apply it like you with any other type of sunscreen. I found the texture of it the same as any other sunscreen I've used. Goes on having that feeling of it being thick and leaves your skin shiny when you first apply it. That shine does go away.
I didn't find that it leaves a residue or makes your skin sticky. But I'm guessing it you applied it and went right away somewhere sandy it would stick to you. I did apply it to my face as well and I didn't break out. Also it is water resistant.
It smells like sunscreen does but I did find it wasn't a strong smelling as some sunscreens. All the information and the proper way to apply is all on the back and very simple to understand.
The only thing I was unable to test is how well it does in the actual sun, sadly where I live it is winter right now.
I definitely would feel comfortable using it for my family.
