I received this product free in exchange for review through the Product Review Club.
I'm not a huge pop drinker, but this lemonade flavoured ginger ale is a nice light, refreshing drink. The lemon flavour isn't too strong, but it's definitely noticeable and adds a bit of bite to each sip. I love that it's naturally flavoured as well.
The price is on par with most pops, which is quite reasonable. It's the perfect drink for those hot summer days and tastes especially delicious with some lemon rum mixed into it.
I would definitely buy this over regular ginger ale in the future and like that it's a slightly healthier option than most dark colas.

The biggest downside of this hand mask for me is that I can't use my hands while wearing the mask. Most hand lotions though, I'm able to go about my daily activities after applying.
Beyond the practicality of this product, I do think it was effective for a short time. The mask moisturized my hands and soothed my cracked skin. It had a light, natural scent that didn't burn when applied to my cracked knuckles, which some heavily scented lotions can do.
My hands felt better for an hour or so, but as soon as I washed my hands, the effect started to wear off. I think it might be more effective if worn as an overnight hand mask, so it has plenty of time to soak in before hands get washed again.
Overall, this hand mask did moisturize and sooth my dry hands, but it was inconvenient to wear and didn't last as long as I was hoping.

I received this foot mask free, as part of the Product Review Club, in exchange for review.
I've tried a few foot masks like this before, but Aveeno's is my new favourite! My feet felt smooth and hydrated for days.
The plastic exterior of the booties allowed me to sit and put my feet up wherever I wanted to relax. There was just the right amount of product, so it wasn't dripping or oozing out of the booties, which is a big problem with many foot masks.
I left them on for a good half hour, then removed the booties and massaged the remaining product into my feet. It's slimy enough that I needed to wait about another half hour before getting up, as I might have slipped on the floor if I tried to walk.
Immediately after, my feet felt completely hydrated and smooth as a baby's bottom. My feet were still feeling great after a couple days, and I hadn't applied any other product to them.
Aveeno always has reasonable pricing, so this mask is a great value and I will definitely be purchasing it in the future.

My guy is usually quite picky when it comes to antiperspirants and prefers clinical strength, but was happy with this new product.
He liked the scent and found it to be pretty effective at preventing sweat. The stick glides on smooth and dries quickly. His shirts are almost always stained from his usual antiperspirant, but this one isn't staining yet. He would like to test it out a bit longer to know for sure that it won't stain.
Overall, he really liked this antiperspirant and would buy it again.

I generally prefer men's antiperspirants, as I don't find women's products to be very effective at keeping me dry all day. This one isn't much different, but is one of the better women's antiperspirants that I've tried, especially for the price.
The scent is light and fresh, and lasts well over 8 hours, even after sweating through multiple dance classes. I often have white stains on my black camisoles from deodorant, but this product holds up its claim of being clear. It didn't stain my clothes at all.
The only reason I wouldn't buy it again is because it doesn't keep me dry at all. I still find myself sweating after only an hour or so. I think I'll stick to men's antiperspirants to properly combat sweating.

I received this mask free from the Product Review Club, in exchange for an honest review. I've been a fan of Clean & Clear products for over a decade now, so I'm always eager to try new releases from them. The instructions say it can be used as a daily cleanser or a mask, so I tried both.
As a cleanser, I wasn't a huge fan of it. It went on quite dry and foamed up just a little with the addition of water. I didn't find that it removed all of my makeup, but left my face feeling relatively clean.
However, as a mask, I loved it! It glides on smoothly and has a cooling, tingly sensation. I left it on a bit longer than directed (5-7 mins), but that didn't seem to matter. Most clay masks feel extremely drying as they set up and often feel like they're cracking as I move my face, but this mask wasn't drying at all. My face felt cool and hydrated the entire time. Once removed, my skin looked bright and refreshed.
This creamy mask has a very light scent and didn't feel harsh on my skin at all. I can't attest to the clearing action, as I haven't been using it long enough, but I didn't have any new breakouts after using it. I would definitely recommend this for anyone looking for an affordable acne solution.

This sunscreen has a nice light scent and soaks into skin nicely, but doesn't hold up to sweating very well. I wore this while coaching softball and as I started to sweat, the sunscreen ran into my eyes and burned like hell. I wouldn't recommend it for active children for this reason alone. I can't comment on its effectiveness for sun protection though, as we haven't really had enough sun yet. It did keep my skin well hydrated and was only a little greasy feeling, which is expected of most sunscreens. I will likely continue to use this on my body, but definitely not on my face.

I received this product free for review from the Product Review Club and was quite pleased with it.
I have oily skin, so gel creams tend to work better for my skin than heavy cream moisturizers, and this product was no different. The lightly-scented gel absorbs easily and doesn't leave any greasy residue. I use Proactiv daily, which can be really drying, but this moisturizer helped keep my skin hydrated and smooth, and unlike some heavier creams, it didn't cause any breakouts.
A little goes a long way with this, so the value isn't terrible, but it is one of the more expensive Neutrogena products out there. Compared to higher-end brands though, it's not too bad. I would definitely purchase this again, but would probably wait for it to go on sale.

I received these free for review from the Product Review Club, but have actually been using them for years.
These wipes are perfect for when you're feeling too lazy for a full face wash or when you need to freshen up on the go. They remove makeup easily without scrubbing, including stubborn mascara, eyeliner and liquid lipsticks. The scent is light and fresh, and the wipes leave skin nicely moisturized.
I find competing brand wipes can dry out before I finish the package, but even the biggest packs of these stay wet until the last sheet. Overall, I highly recommend this product for its value and effectiveness.

I received this product free in return for an honest review as a part of the Chickadvisor Product Review Club.
I found the flavour to be light and creamy, though the texture took a bit to get used to. You can definitely tell that it's made with sweetener, as it has a bit of an odd aftertaste. For a low calorie snack though, it's pretty damn good.
The major downside of this is the price. It costs about the same amount as the bigger Breyers ice cream containers. Unless you're really needing to stick to a diet, I would say it's more cost effective to buy a bigger tub of Breyers ice cream and have way more flavour options.
