Nivea Nourishing In Shower Body Milk

I received a free sample of the Nivea Nourishing In Shower Body Milk in almond oil from Nivea when they were in my province, they had a pretty cool display with a bathtub and with two women handing out samples with towel dresses, which was pretty neat.

What is the product and what does it do?

The product is a in shower lotion, in which you apply after you finish cleaning your body with body wash or soap and then you apply and wait a minute and wash off and that will leave you with moisturized skin for 24 hours. This version is made for dry to very dried skin. They have other types of lotion as well for people that don't have very dried skin, if you would like to check that out then you can click here.

What do I think of this product?

I personally love this stuff, it works really well, not only did it absorb into the skin but it made my skin feel super soft and hydrated, I would definitely buy a full sized product. This is something I would need in the winter since I do tend to have dried skin during the colder seasons. Over all a good product.

Here is a photo, of what I received.

Soft lips 5in1 package from Chickadvisor and Softlips

I was lucky enough to receive a softlips package from Chickadvisor with the courtesy of the softlips company, which I thank you for that.

What is softlips?

Softlips is a company in which makes lipbalms in cube format and stick format, which comes in many flavors and ingredients. They are also cruelty free and vegan and gluten free. Products are sold in Canada and the Us, not really sure if they sell in any other countries.

What did you get in your package?

I received a bag along with four flavored softlips lipbalms which are

The two softlips cubes in Fresh Mint, and Berry Bliss

The two softlips Luxe in Silky Shea, Creamy Coconut.

All lipbalms are a 5in1 lip balm that Hydrates, Protects, Smooths, Adds Shine, Replenishes.

Here is a picture I took.

Image is mine.

What other flavors are there and where to get them?

For the cubes besides the mentioned above there is Vanilla Bean, and Peach Mango.

The luxe however does not have anymore flavors. You can buy most of these products in Major retailers such as Walmart. I've seen these in Shoppers Drug Mart/Pharmaprix and many other stores as well. They retail for $4.67 Canadian, it depends where you go and if the product is on sale.

What did you like about the lipbalms and would you repurchase?

What I like about them are the designs, I like they are clear, easy to see and easy to use and come in many varieties. My favorites are the Coconut and the Fresh Mint, not that I don't like all of them, it's just my preference. I would like to try the Vanilla Bean because I adore Vanilla in general.

The balms themselves are good they do keep your lips moisturized but don't apply to much or you will feel like you are wearing lipbalm.

I might repurchase but I find the only con is that, it is pricey.

Over all I enjoy the product. If you want more information you can check their website here

Sample source box 2

I received another box in the mail. This time I only received 7 samples.

Here is a photo of the box

image is mine.
The items are received are

- John frieda frizz ease miraculous recovery

- Vector energy bar (peanut)

- Breath right strips

- Jergens Wet Skin Moisturizer with Refreshing Coconut Oil

- Arm & Hammer Truly Radiant Rejuvenating Toothpaste

- Although not shown in photo because I gave it away Emergen C super orange

What did I think?

I was kind of disappointed because I already received most of the items above last time

I was mostly happy about Jergens Wet Skin Moisturizer with Refreshing Coconut Oil. I've already tried the John frieda and I use the smooth collection have repurchased it.

I am not really a fan of the taste of arm&hammer toothpaste because of the over powering taste of baking soda. The vector bar was fine but not sure if I would go and buy a box.

Overall not bad.

The Body Shop oils of life free sample

So I went and printed out a coupon from The Body Shop and received a free sample from their store. I did this one or two months ago but only got to reviewing it this week.

The oils of life is a new product from their line. It has anti-aging, revitalising and repairing properties infused with black cumin seed oil, rosehip seed oil and camellia seed oil.

The bottle is originally 30ml which retails for $44.00 Canadian. The sample was 7ml.

Here is the photo of the sample.

Image is mine.

How to use the oil?

You have to put 2-3 drops and rub on hands and put onto face and massage, they have the actual instructions on the website on how to put it on properly and than use a moisturizer to lock in the oil.

What are my thoughts on the product?

I personally think it's a bit pricey for the oil. The oil it's self is a bit to greasy for my taste. I do like the smell but I feel like it's just a bit to oily, it doesn't exactly absorb well into my skin. I probably wouldn't go buy a full sized product but I was happy to get a sample and try it before I fully decided myself on whether or not the product is worthy of a purchase. I do enjoy other products from the body shop but this one just wasn't for me.

L'OCCITANE EN PROVENCE free sample tin

Back in April L'OCCITANE EN PROVENCE had a promotion and I signed up and printed out my coupon and received my free sample. I know it's a bit late but I decided to make a review due the fact I did not post this on my blog.

The samples came with a tin. The samples in the tin came with Delightful Rose and Vanilla Bouquet, they both have 20% shea butter in them.

Here is a photo of the samples, ring is not included.

Image is mine

I would say the samples were alright. I only used them over night due with gloves due to the fact that it was a bit to greasy for the amount I needed for my hands but they do smell really nice. I liked the Vanilla one better than the rose. Over all both worked alright so I'll give it 4/5 rating.

I would love to try their other products as well since they have some interesting items and their stores are amazing looking and have very nice staff. So maybe in the future I will do just that.

Mario Badescu Skin Care Free Samples

I've decided to sign up for my free samples but have received the samples at a later date due to the fact that the address was written wrong. The company was nice enough to contact me about the samples and I had finally received them and then I decided try them out.

Each sample pack is based on your profile on which you take and they will give the right products based on your skin type. You can sign up here for your free samples, if you would like to try them out. You donot have to pay for them, they will arrive at your home within 6 weeks I think. Make sure your address is written correctly or they will be sent back.

images are mine.

You will receive a booklet that's personalized for you and the instructions are there for each product and when and how to use them properly.

I've received 6 samples but I was told to have 7 but unfortunately the product isn't available to sample.

The following samples I've received are

For the morning routine

Orange cleaning soap

The cleanser doesn't feel like soap, it feels more like a gel. I didn't really enjoy that to much sadly.

Aloe Lotion

I liked this aloe lotion, it's a liquid that goes right into the skin and dries right away. It feels nice and makes your skin soft. No reactions, which is good.

Hyaluronic Eye Cream

Light weight cream, not sure if it made a difference honestly.

The Moisture Magnet SPF 15

A bit to moisturizing for warmer weather, so I think it's best for winter due to being a heavy moisturizer.

For the night routine

Flower & Tonic Mask

The mask was nice, it made my skin feel smooth.

Kiwi Face Scrub

Gentle on skin and does a nice job.

Bee Pollen Night Cream

Same as the day cream a little to thick unless for colder weather.

Lastly that was not included was the Drying Lotion.

AG Hair Care Smooth Sample

I've bought something from Trade Secrets online, which I will review soon enough and I received a free sample of the AG Hair Care Smooth shampoo and conditioner with my purchase, which I didn't expect which is nice and thank Trade Secrets for that.

The shampoo and conditioner has argan and coconut oil, which is nice. Here is a picture of the product. Note the bow is for hair and is not included, I just used it in the photo to showcase product.

I did enjoy the sample and it did make my hair smooth but only thing i'm not sure if this is because it's a sample and you may need to use more often to see results but my ends were just a bit dry from use.

Over all I give this a 4/5 because my hair was nice until the next wash. They also have a straightening lotion as well for blow drying and ironing your hair but I have not tried it, I think it would be useful to have since I blow dry my hair often. This Hair line can be found at stores such as Trade Secrets, Matt and Max and more. They have a website for other locations if you want to check it out.

Hawaiian Tropic sheer touch spf 30

John Frieda Frizz Ease Forever Smooth

Ziploc Space bag(full size)

Burt's Bees Sensitive daily moisturing cream

Soft Soap Fresh Glow Hydrating Body Wash

Jergens shea butter

I've already tried this before, the company already gave me a free 8ml sample before.

It is abit greasy but it's not a bad lotion over all. I gave the sample to my mother because I've already tried it.

Hawaiian Tropic sheer touch spf 30

This sun lotion is pretty good. It smells amazing and it makes your skin soft and you barely feel the lotion which is really neat. I will grab a full size bottle. I am impressed with the product.

BrookeSide Crunchy clusters Dark chocolate & Berry Medley Flavours

I was excited to try this product but it wasn't to my taste. I'm not really a fan of fruits in chocolate. It's not a bad product but I don't think I would like to buy a full size bag. I did eat the full sample so I can at least say it was decent.

Soft Soap Fresh Glow Hydrating Body Wash

I liked the body wash, the scent was fine although I wish it was more coconut scent. Not sure if I would buy a full size but the body wash was fine over all.

John Frieda Frizz Ease Forever Smooth

The shampoo, conditioner and primer were pretty good. I've been wanting to try this shampoo for awhile now and I finally got my hands on some free samples, which I was happy about. I think I would go and buy all 3 products. My hair was super smooth from just the shampoo alone in the shower, which I liked.My hair is smoother and I did not have a problem with frizz even after day two, which is good. Over all really good collection, I am impressed.

Ziploc Space bag(full size)

Great product, it's easy to use and the size was perfect. Great for storing clothing. These are worth buying over all and I am happy with the bag I received.

Breath right strips

This is my second or third time receiving strips for free. These work really well and allow you to breath at night. Worth buying over all.

Sunlight dish washer

I've gotten these samples many times and I don't own a dish washer so I give them away to people who do. I don't really know if these work because I never tried them.

Burt's Bees Sensitive daily moisturizing cream

This lotion is only meant for the Winter season in my opinion. It's not so bad. My skin didn't react to it and it made my skin smooth. It was alright.

Emergen-C Super Orange

I didn't try because I wasn't sure if the medication I had was fine to take with this supplement and I did not want to test that out. So I am not exactly sure how it tastes or if it works.
