Tic Tac Mixer Peace to Lemonade

I had received a free sample a few weeks ago, and decided to post this because I thought it was neat.

Here is a photo I took

What are Tic tac mixers? 

Tic tac mixers are tic tacs that change flavors as soon as you eat them. The flavors they offer are new and come in two flavors, which are Cherry to Cola and Peach to Lemonade.

 Which one did you get and where can I find it?
 I decided to take Peach to lemonade flavor due to it being orange I guess. They had a promotion a few months back and I had received a little packet for free. You can find these at any store that is a pharmacy or grocery store or major stores.

What did you think about them?

I enjoyed them, not exactly sure what they cost of them are but I probably would buy it, not that I buy tic tac often but I think they are worth it, if you like the candy it's self. Next i'll try the Cherry to Cola flavor.

100% Pure Organic Matcha Green Tea Powder


This product was sent to me for free in exchange for review.

So what is Matcha?

Matcha is an ingredient that is a powder that is used to make from drinks to desert and meals, in which originally comes from Japan, it is supposed have health benefits such as

Energy, Memory and focus enhancer, Fat blocker, Burner & Metabolism booster Lowers cholesterol, and is a Healthier alternative drink and more.

Here is a photo of the product that was sent to me.



What do I think of it?

Personally I can't say this product works in general anyway due to having just one package, you may need to add this more often to your food and drinks for a long period of time. As for the taste I am personally not really a fan of it and I honestly not sure if I believe in this Matcha stuff but it's personally up to you to see if this product is for you.

Would you buy it and where can I buy this?
I honestly don't think I would buy it because it just wasn't for me and 28 dollars for me is a lot for a small bag of powder but I am happy that I got to try it for free, so I thank the company that sent it to me. Over all like I said it just wasn't for me. If you are interested in buying it, you can get it at this link here

Chickadvisor Vichy campaign


I received these product for free from ChickAdvisor and Vichy, which I thank them for.

ChickAdvisor had a campaign in which you choose a routine from their list and if you were chosen you would receive these products for free. I had chosen the Hydration (Dry Skin) routine, Hydration which is the sensitive skin products.

Here is a picture I took of the three products
Image is mine.

What did you get and how do they work?

First product I had received is the Vichy purete Thermale Cleansing Foam Radiance Revealer which is a facial cleanser that foams. You just damp your face and use one pump and gently cleanses and wash off with water. This cleanser restores radiance and freshness of the skin while it gently removes impurities.

Second product is the Vichy Thermale Spa Water which is a water that is a spray that helps reduce redness and irritation and discomfort of the skin while reinforcing the skin's natural defenses against external factors and prematured aging.

The third and final product is the Vichy Aqualia Thermal Rich Cream which is a day cream that it re-hydrates the skin and lasts 48 hours.

What do you think each product?

I personally think all three products work really well. The cleanser works pretty well, it leaves your skin clear and nice and smooth with no redness. The spray is fantastic, when you have itchy irritated skin, it really does work to keep your skin calm. Lastly the cream absorbs really quickly into the skin and you don't feel like you have any cream on your face once so ever, and lasts 48 hours which is a plus. I would likely buy these products in the future.

Where do you get the products and how much do they retail for?

You can find these products in drug stores and major department stores such as sears and hudson's bay. The cleanser retails for 19.99, the spray retails for 13.00 dollars, and the day cream is 39.99, all prices are Canadian.

Orville Redenbacher Popcorn Chips Buttery


I received a bag of popcorn chips online, I really don't remember from where though and don't really remember signing up for it but I guess I decided to because I wanted to try the chips since I know the popcorn is good.

What did I think of them and would you buy them?

I honestly didn't like the flavor much, I had the buttery flavor. Not sure if I would like the other flavors they offer, but this one for sure I would not personally buy at all. Although I do like the photo I took but beyond that no I don't like the chips it's self.

Where can I find these?

I would think the grocery stores and major retails, I personally have no idea how much they retail for.

Here is a fun photo I took myself.
image is mine

Over all unless I try and like the other flavors I would not buy. At least I was given a chance to try the chips so I am not mad.

Have any questions? or comments, write below.

Sample Source Spring 2016


I was going to review this when I first got this but I haven't had much time to do so, so now I am.


I received nine samples this time around and two coupons.


Here is what I received and here is a photo I took.

Image is mine.

Welch's fruit snacks:

I enjoyed these snacks, pretty good. I mostly like soft jelly like candy. I do see these in the grocery store often, not exactly sure how much they are for a box.


VH Japanese Teriyaki stir-fry sauce:

Not a bad sauce, didn't mind it to much. I've already tried a few vh sauces like the plum one and found that was fine. Not sure if I would buy this.


Breathe right: 

Not the first time I've seen or heard or have gotten samples of breath right. I actually bought my first two own boxes when I had a cold and yes they do work really well to unblock your nose. Only thing though is they leave a sticky residue and you have to place it right or it will fall off. Other then that they work nicely. Tip make sure your nose is free of oils to ensure they will stick.


Brookside Dark chocolate cranberry almond with blood orange flavor :
I've already tried and had a free sample last year from my local store and I didn't mind it to much. I don't think I would buy it though.

Nature's path qi'a roasted peanut dark chocolate:
Did not mind the bar but the chocolate was overwhelming so I didn't like this flavor at all. Maybe if I had another type of flavor I wouldn't mind it all. So I would not go buying this.

Dove advanced series quench absolute:
Although this is for people with dry curly/wave hair, I used the sample anyway because I didn't want it to go to waste. I received a three sample pack of shampoo, conditioner, and serum. All three made my hair soft and nice and I was able to comb through my hair.

Sensodyne daily sensitivity relief mouthwash :
The mouth wash works good, and not overwhelming. I am not sure if I would buy a big bottle of this because I use the crest pro health and I liked that one a lot and it's been working well for myself.

Lastly I received two samples of Jamieson one is for digestive care and other is a 100% complete multi. I did not drink these because  I am not sure if this product is for me and I don't take things I don't know about when it comes to vitamins and such.

What did you like most?
Welch's fruit snacks, and dove shampoo samples.

Was a bit disappointed but it's fine, over all not bad.

Have any questions?, comment below.

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

Werther's Original Fudge Caramels


I had received a coupon for a free bag of Werther's Original from the Canadian Facebook page, which is for Canadians only while they had their promotion back in March for the soft candy(promo is now over) but I only received my coupon about a month ago or so and so I decided since I had the chance I wanted to redeem my coupon and chose the Werther's Original Fudge Caramels out of the three flavors that they offer.

Here is a photo I took.

What are the flavors for soft candy options and where can I get them?

The three flavors are Werther's Original Fudge Caramels, Soft Creme Caramels, Chewy Caramels. Most major retails carry them besides grocery stores as well. I am not sure if you can get them outside of Canada. I think these candies retail for 2 to 4 dollars a bag, depending on where you go.

What did I think of the candy?

I actually like the soft candy option as well, I've always loved the original hard candy and decided I wanted to try it and I am not disappointed over all. They are easy to eat and are addicting. If you like the original hard candy, you may enjoy these as well.

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.

Kiehl's Calendula Deep Cleansing Foaming Face Wash Free Sample


Kiehl's is a company that does skin care products, body and more. Stores are located in many countries.

I had received a free sample of the Calendula deep cleansing foaming face wash from Kiehl's from an online promotion sometime in May I think it was.

They had a promotion on their Facebook page or website and I signed up.

This is what the card I received looked like

This what the sample looks like.
Images are mine

Over all I enjoyed the sample and found it works really well. It's suited for normal,oily skin and I think sensitive as well.

The wash foams up and does not leave any residue and feels nice. The only down fall is the price for a 250ml is 35 dollar.

Other than that if you are interested it's worth trying. Hope you enjoy it.

Kinder Surprise Minion limited edition


Kinder released a minion limited edition egg collection of toys, you can collect 11.

I heard about the Kinder surprise eggs that were coming and I was about to pick them up at Shopper's Drug Mart but I found them at the grocery store and I was surprised to find them there.

Here is a photo of what the eggs and the box looks like

Here are two photos of which toys that were in the eggs I bought
Images are mine.

I only paid 3.29 per box, I had bought two boxes but only shown four toys due to the fact I had doubles of the vampire so I didn't bother showing them.

These can be found at almost any stores like Walmart,Shopper's, Maxi etc for Canadian locations at least. The prices are from 3.29 to 5.00 dollars.

I found the minion toys really cute and hope you enjoy them as well.

My sample source pack & Review

Sample source is a website that's for the U.S and Canada to have free samples to try from before you decide to buy the product.

You have to sign up to get your free samples. They will email you when samples go live and you will have to take a survey and they will give you samples based on your survey.

They are available twice a year, Spring and Fall seasons. Click here to sign up for the next box. I received mine about a week or two ago and I only had time now to write my personal opinions on the products I've received.

Samples I've received
Burt's Bees Sensitive daily moisturizing cream
Jergens shea butter
Hawaiian Tropic sheer touch spf 30
BrookeSide Crunchy clusters Dark chocolate & Berry Medley Flavors
Soft Soap Fresh Glow Hydrating Body Wash
John Frieda Frizz Ease Forever Smooth
Ziploc Space bag(full size)
Breath right strips
Sunlight dish washer
Emergen-C Super Orange

Items I was mostly excited about

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.

Tim Horton's Creamy Chocolate Chill Drink Review

So Tim Hortons is a cafe restaurant in Canada and The U.S. They have drinks, food, desserts and coffee. This season they released a new drink and on which I tried. This drink is called Creamy Chocolate Chill Drink. This is drink is made only of chocolate and no coffee once so ever. If you are the non-coffee person or just in love with chocolate. than this may be a drink for you.
I couldn't take a picture the other day because I had bought mine while watching a movie at the theaters. Here is an image to give an idea as to what it looks like. This image is not mine and nor do I claim it to be, it belongs to Tim Hortons.
The drink tastes like chocolate milk for the base, the cream tastes something like Mccain's chocolate cake icing than on top of that with chocolate syrup. I did love the drink but I found after awhile it was a bit to much of chocolate. I had gotten the medium size, that's why. Over all not a bad drink, I would probably buy a small next time if I do decide to buy another drink. Next to try is their new smoothie and nutella products and If I do at least try the Nutella products, I may buy another chocolate drink just to show the picture in real life.
