Behind the Scenes: UGC Products I’ve Actually Tried
8
items Here’s a running list of products I’ve tested through UGC jobs. I don’t take pay-to-lie offers (yes, brands try that). These are my real takes from actually using the products, so you know what’s hype vs. worth it.

Beauty & Skincare UGC
Products I’ve filmed and tested for UGC collabs. No scripted hype — some worked, some flopped, some went straight to drawer clutter.
👉🏻 Quick photo, barely used the product.
✨ Honest take: I didn’t end up keeping it. I resold on Mercari for $6 profit. Proof UGC can double-pay if you’re clever.
Divine Derriere
👉🏻 Comes in a lovely tin and is reusable (can’t remember the exact number of uses). The concept is fantastic.
✨ Honest take: I tried it once, but I’m a stomach/side sleeper and it didn’t stay on overnight. I haven’t had the will to test it again, s...
Forehead Wrinkle Patches Reusable Non-Invasive
Supplements & Wellness UGC
From kids’ gummies to trendy wellness supplements, these are the freebies I’ve been paid to shoot. I’ll tell you which ones actually tasted good, which ones worked (or didn’t), and which I wouldn’t buy again at full price.
👉🏻 Just a quick product photo — super simple deliverable.
✨ Honest take: I didn’t end up taking it myself, but my spouse used it. Easy win for me, free wellness for them.
NAD Supplement 8457mg Extra Strength Liposomal
👉🏻 Staged an aesthetic bedtime shot — my oldest had a book covering his face, gummies on the nightstand. Easy and cute.
✨ Honest take: he loved the taste and actually asked for them. It’s a feel-good product, but pricey compared to others. I’d reco...
Shop Calming Magnesium Gummies for Kids and Adults
👉🏻 Quick shot with just my oldest son’s hand reaching for the gummies near the packaging.
✨ Honest take: he actually used them and loved the flavors. Still a bit pricey for me to rebuy, but a solid freebie.
First Day Kids Multivitamin Gummies 4+, Strawberry & Orange
Pet UGC
Yes, even my dogs get free stuff through UGC. Here’s the pet food, chews, and toppers I tested (with their real reactions). Some were a hit, some just filled the content quota.
👉🏻 Snapped a pic with one of my dogs with the treat — surprisingly easy to get the shot.
✨ Honest take: all of my dogs liked these treats. One of the rare freebies I’d actually recommend.
Yak Chews for Dogs
👉🏻 Snapped a shot with my other dog (the one with golden retriever vibes) — super easy deliverable.
✨ Honest take: all my dogs loved it, but the bag is small and doesn’t go far with multiple pups. I’m not big on toppers personally, but if you use t...
Toppers For Dogs - Solid Gold Pet
Household & Lifestyle UGC
Everyday items I’ve been sent to make look aesthetic at home. Some are genuinely useful, others are just background props that paid me once.
👉🏻 Just received this — I’ll be shooting it in a kitchen setting with utensils inside. First impressions: feels nice and not overpriced.
✨ Honest take: can’t vouch yet for durability, but I do love that it spins.
