I received this for free through the product review club. I use a mask once a week and typically stick with clay or sheet masks. One of the reasons I don't love peel off masks is that it is very difficult to get the right amount in order to peel off smoothly. This one is no exception. It's nice that it goes on green so that you can see where it is but you need a lot of it. The first time I put what I thought was a decent layer but it kept peeling off in little pieces that I just washed my face entirely. The next couple of times I increased the amount and found it was much easier to peel. Because of the amount that you need, I'm not sure that this is worth the cost. I don't think the bottle will last very long. I also wish it had a different applicator (similar to the one on the sleep mask) as I feel like I waste so much product.
For it's effectiveness, it hits its mark. It left my skin feeling refreshed and smooth. It looked brighter and less dull. Definitely got that glowing feeling.

I received this for free as part of the product review club. The sleep mask is supposed to work while you are sleeping. In the morning, you wash your face and carry on as you normally would. I find this does a pretty decent job of moisturizing your skin. I would wake up with baby soft skin and no trace of it on my pillows. I also really like the applicator. It's a squeeze tube with a paddle like applicator that you use to apply to your face. It helps to keep you from wasting the product. Overall, its a pretty simple product that does a pretty good job. -

I got this free to try with the product review club. I integrated this into my daily skin care routine and have been using it for about a week. This will probably become my new winter night cream. It is a rich cream but it feels lightweight with no residue. It is very moisturizing. I use this after a serum and under a face oil at night and I wake up with fresh moisturized skin. I will probably keep my water based moisturizer for the summer but this is definitely an amazing find for dealing with Canadian winters. -

I received this for free as part of the product review club. I have been using it every other day for about a week. I have a hard time overcoming the smell of the balm. It smells very chemical and strong. I also didn't feel that it did anything to my thicken my hair. Some positives though are that it was easy to wash off and didn't appear to leave any residue and that it did make my hair feel nice. -

The lip mask is the best thing to have come into my life. My lips are horribly dry year round and I have been searching for a product that will help heal them and maintain them once healed. This is it.
I prefer the natural version as I find it is the most moisturizing but sometimes having that sheer colour is really nice. This is a great product to prep your lips for a day of lipstick or slather on a thick layer overnight. The price can be a bit much but a tube lasts me a very long time and I stock up when Sephora has their sale.
I recently was gifted the mini trio set for winter 2018 that included Maple and Candy Cane. The candy cane is nice and minty but I find it less moisturizing. The maple one is so good. It smells just like maple and has a bit of a bronze sheen but nothing too drastic. Definitely my second favourite after the natural.
Your lips can get used to and dependent on it but I have found that once a month I will use it only at night and a different balm during the day, just to give my lips a bit of a break.

I've lost count of how many of these lipsticks I have in my collection. I have minis and full size of varying colours. Bite does reds really well. The formula is so nice. It goes on smooth and isn't drying. It is by no means a long lasting lipstick but some colours last a long time. The darker colours fade faster but some of the more nudes I had lasted through two meals before I had to reapply. One thing I like about these is that on average, they fade really nicely and don't look too patchy. -

I tried the mini version of this lip balm and really enjoyed it, but not as much as the lip mask. I found the mini to be very delicate and the stick broke pretty quickly. It's a thicker balm, which I like, but may not be everyone's cup of tea. It works wonders under a lipstick, even a liquid one. For the price I think there are better balms out there. -

I prefer sheet masks but sometimes you need a good clay mask. This one does the trick. It's easy to apply and isn't drying. It leaves your skin refreshed and smooth. I have sensitive skin and was worried about breakouts but haven't experienced anything yet, which is promising. I use it once a week. My only complaint is that it is sometimes hard to get the mask off completely. There are little white bits, which I think is the pink salt that gets left behind, but I've started using this before I shower, which helps me to make sure it's all off. Would repurchase this again, especially for the price but may try a different once from the Freeman line instead. -

I received a coupon to try this bread for free. It was easy to locate in stores. Dempster's bread is always great and I was already a big fan of some of their other whole grains breads. This one is no exception. It is great fresh with just a bit of butter or a spread. It is also great toasted with some cheese or a spread. It has a bit of a crunchy taste but not overly so. The seeds are not very noticeable in texture. A turkey and avocado sandwich feels so much healthier with this bread! Would definitely get this again. -

I use sunscreen daily on my face and neck. I received a sample of this to try and I love it. It went on so easily and didn't feel heavy or greasy. It has a nice light scent but nothing overpowering. I can't speak to how well it protects from the sun as it hasn't really been sunny in my parts but it definitely helped to keep my skin from feeling chapped against the wind and cold. It was easy to apply makeup over it and when it came time to reapply sunscreen, it didn't affect the already applied makeup. After a day my skin still felt moisturized. -
