I was sent a sample by Chickadvisor to try, while I thought it absorbed well and was light, it is quite similar to the original Aveeno. I'd lean towards this one a little more as the scent is gentler, and felt it absorbed better. The Restorative Skin Therapy Cream, did temporarily relieve my dry hands and provide a little protection, but not enough to last the entire day. -

This is a lightweight moisturizer in between a gel and cream texture. It is non greasy and absorbs quickly. Unlike a lot of mens' products that smell like aerosol spray, this moisturizer has a very very gentle green tea scent that dissipates quickly. While I wanted to like this moisturizer more since it it felt light and smelled great, I did find my skin became a little oilier than usual by the end of the day.
I would recommend this for both men and women with drier skin.

BAND-AID® Brand Adhesive Bandages Hydro Seal™ Advanced Healing, 10 count

I received a free box of these Band-Aids to try and fortunately had a few different cuts ans scrapes to try these on. They are comfortable and easy to wear, and are meant to be worn for several days. The seal is secure without being itchy and is also easy to peel off if necessary. In this way, not needing to reapply bandages, I felt it promoted the healing of my cuts. The Band-Aids are a little smaller than standard sized bandages.
Would recommend!

Very disappointing product from Neutrogena. I've used it for a little over a week and definitely do not see brighter or smoother skin. The product has a bit of shimmer in the container but applies clear on skin. The gel cream has decent coverage but isn't hydrating at all and leaves a sticky residue. The worst part is that it smells like a magazine that had perfume samples in it. I'd toss it if it didn't cost almost $25. -

I received a sample of this to try and while I can't comment on the anti-aging properties, I do like it overall. The cream has a light scent that I am indifferent to but goes away quickly. It is a little thicker but goes on very smoothly and absorbs quickly. My skin felt light and moisturized all day, and also looked very clean. -

I got this as a sample from Hair Food Smooth Collection. The smell while not pungent was still pronounced. It was not a fragrance I would associate with avocado and fortunately did not stay in my hair long.
The shampoo is sulfate, dye, paraben and mineral oil free. It lathers well for a sulfate free shampoo. It felt like a decent cleanser and did a good job of smoothing and straightening my slightly wavy hair. However, it was drying and did not nourish nor soften at all as the label suggests. (I also followed up the shampoo with the same conditioner.)
I may use it once in a while during the summer but would definitely avoid it in the winter.
There are better sulfate/etc-free shampoos.

St. Ives® Energizing Coconut & Coffee Scrub
I love the smell of this. I don't feel like it necessarily leaves my skin more energized or awake but does combat dull skin. The scrub is fairly coarse so I only use once a week at most and once washed off, reveals extra soft skin. I've used it for... +
I love the smell of this. I don't feel like it necessarily leaves my skin more energized or awake but does combat dull skin. The scrub is fairly coarse so I only use once a week at most and once washed off, reveals extra soft skin.
I've used it for elbow and feet too and works wonders.
Great value on St. Ives products always.

The ginger brings lightness to the tea with a bit of kick even when it is a little oversteeped. There is also lemongrass that helps lift the flavour. Well-balanced and good quality.
I like to have this tea post-dinner for digestion or when I sense oncoming tummy troubles.

Tazo Zen Green Tea
I always keep a box of Tazo Zen Green Tea around. It brews smoothly and isn't overly strong. The teabags are a good quality, and when steeped, hold together well. Not the cheapest brand but quality tea. It is also nice to brew for and iced tea.

The scent in its packaging is nice and fresh. The deodorant stick is a bit larger in size than the ones I typically use; so it is a good value. On application, the scent is quite pungent but fades away quickly so it did not bother me too much. The deodorant is slightly grainy and requires a little bit of rubbing-in to set but overall it does its job.
I received the product free to review.
