This is a nice oil cleanser based on my first impression as I only received a foil sample.
It's a nice oil thats not too runny and has a really nice light plant scent to it with faint citrus notes. It was quite enjoyable to massage into my skin and emulsified quite well with water. I feel like it did remove the sunscreen off of my skin without stripping it. However. I have to say, this is only a first impression so I cannot say I really like it and that it's worth 5 stars. But I can see the appeal of the cleansing oil and why it's so popular.

I received the My Clarins RE-BOOST Refreshing Moisturizing Cream as part of the Product Review Club and received it complimentary in exchange for my honest opinion. I have only used it for a week so this is a first impression.
The cream comes in a sturdy white glass jar and contains 50ml of products. It has a pale pink shade and smells like freshly cut apple with a hint of a flower blossom. It has the consistency between a gel and a cream. It spreads really nicely and sinks in quickly. It leaves my skin feeling quite hydrated.
The only issue I have with this product is how mica is quite high on the ingredients list. It is a colourant but I feel like there is not need for it in a cream. But that doesn't affect the performance of the cream.
I would definitely recommend this cream, especially if you want a nice light hydrating cream for the summer.

I received the My Clarins RE-FRESH Hydrating Beauty Mist as part of the Product Review Club and received it complimentary in exchange for my honest opinion. I only tested it for about a week so it is only first impression.
The mist comes in a glass bottle and feels quite sturdy. However, because it is glass, it is not a good product to carry around. I also found that it does leak a little bit if you try to spritz on the side.
Most of the botanical extracts are lower on the ingredients list than fragrance, even though they are all under 1%. I found the fragrance to be too strong, as it reminds me of someone's cologne. And it takes a LONG time to dissipate, I have found shirts that got some mist on it and it smells just like it, even days later.
What I really like about the mist is the nozzle. It produces a really fine mist, similar to those that are from an aerosol can. It's really fine and I can barely feel it most of the time. It leaves the skin feeling cool and refreshed.
I like the nozzle, but honestly, the strong fragrance is a big turn off for me. While I enjoy the nozzle and the hydrating factor of the mist, I would have to say I wouldn't purchase this product due to the strong fragrance. But to be fair, I think others may not mind it. I would recommend it purely based on the fine mist as scent preferences can vary between person to person.

I received this from Chickadvisor in exchange for my honest opinion and I really like it.
I like the fact that it is a raspberry based frozen dessert instead of chocolate. It really brings the raspberry out to the front. The fudge swirls are perfect because I find it overpowering raspberry a little bit. So any more, it would just be a chocolate ice cream.
It has a nice feel on my tongue, almost like a real ice cream. But it only has 90 calories per 125ml, which means it has 4 servings per tub. It's about 1/3 of the calories of normal ice cream, so I am totally up for it.
I think I will definitely grab some more when I find it on sale~

I received this product to review from Chickadvisor.
I only had a week to test this so it is a first impression.
I was very interested by this biphased serum. But I was disappointed when I opened it, and smelled how strong this is. I don't like strongly fragranced items, and this is unfortunately one of them.
Another thing I didn't like about this is the design of the packaging. I found the cap very difficult to remove. The serum also gets around the opening and make it oily, which actually made the opening even more difficult. I don't look forward to try and open the lid each time.
The serum itself is not bad. After applying it, it sinks in quickly and that strong scent slowly goes away.
However, I find that it's okay in the result to be honest. It leaves my skin feeling moisturized but not sufficiently hydrated. I still need to apply more hydrating moisturizer in order to feel balanced.
I just really don't think this serum is for me and I don't think I would repurchase.

I received this product from Chickadvisor in exchange for my honest opinion
I have been looking for an all-in-one cleanser that will remove my sunscreen and doesn't require a second cleanser to rinse off. This gel cleanser is offering exactly that and I was excited to receive it to test.
I have been testing it just over a week and it is my first impression. But I think it is very good!
I have been testing it by only using the cleanser to remove my sunscreen. It seemed to have removed them completely since I am not getting any angry red breakouts that's the result of inadequate removal of sunscreen. It definitely meets my desire for an all-in-one cleanser.
It also left my skin feeling hydrated and soft after each usage, which I really appreciate.
I think this definitely have moved up to the top of my cleanser list. Will definitely pick up some more when I am shopping!

I received this from Chickadvisor as part of the Vichy campaign in exchange for my honest opinion.
This is a cleansing toner that is designed to help remove the last bit of impurities that were not removed during the cleansing step. It is okay for sensitive skin but I think it has too strong of fragrance added. Which could potentially cause irritations for those with sensitive skin.
I am not a big fan of the scent, which is supposed to be that of a fresh refreshing kind of scent. I just think it's too strong but thankfully it's not lingering.
Because this is a cleansing toner, it needs to be placed on a cotton pad in order to wipe away the residues. But I don't like doing that with my toners. I prefer hydrating toners and just spray it onto my skin. No need for cotton pads. It's just a lot more effective for me. But I have to say my skin feels refreshed after using it.
I don't really like this toner, but it's only because of my preference in what I am looking for in a toner. It's not a bad product, I would recommend to anyone who doesn't mind a bit of a fragrance in their toner and is looking for a non-irritating refreshing cleansing toner.

Tazo Awake English Breakfast Tea
This is my favourite black tea to get from the Tazo line. It definitely perks me up when I am dead tired. I take it plain so I can get all of that nice tea flavour.

I bought this on a whim as it was on sale and I was pleasantly surprised! It contains hydrated silica as its exfoliating factor and it felt like I was rubbing sand against my skin. It was definitely an interesting experience!
It has a faint scent that reminds me of the signature Dove scent. It is very soft but thick like a mousse so it doesn't move anywhere until you take some out.
It left my skin feeling very smooth and I found myself constantly touching my arms to feel the smoothness.
I am really enjoying this product and I definitely will pick more up!

I received the product to test and I wasn't expecting much. I seen it floating around on the internet and on TV so I was intrigued. I tried it and I was surprised that it is actually pretty nice.
It is a lightweight serum that sinks in quickly and doesn't leave a residue on the skin. It makes my skin feel more hydrated. I actually found myself reaching for it.
I also love the bottle but I do think it is a bit expensive for what it does.
