I received this product to review and I used it on my body at the beach. My favourite thing about this sunscreen is that it really lives up to the name. It feels very light and it absorbs right into the skin. It isn't greasy, it's light and smoothing to the touch right away. I like that it works for face as well as body too. It is pricier but if you're serious about sunscreen, I definitely recommend looking into Vichy products. -

I've received these products to test out and I've bought these products as well so I've always been pretty happy with the results. I like the consistency of the polishes and they are quite pigmented and deep coloured. They dry fairly quickly as well.
What I don't love is the selection of colours. They don't have a huge variety and the colours they do have aren't often very trendy. But the quality and price are definitely right.

I was a bit nervous to try these out because I'm not a huge fan of using an oil on my already oily skin. However, I was actually pleasantly surprised at how much I liked it! This product is great because it's multi-purpose. I used it on my face and my hair and you could definitely try it on your body too or as a component in a DIY beauty product.
They smell really nice and quite strong too, which I actually like for my hair since it absorbs scents really quickly. I haven't broken out on my face (yay!) which was my main concern with using it but, this product may not work for all skin types. For dry skin though, this would be awesome. It helps to give you a nice, dewy glow on your face. It's actually pretty intense in your hair too. I definitely felt a difference. It's a bit pricey considering the size but not so bad when you consider there are other products out there, similar to this which are much more.

I love this mask. Seriously. It's different than other masks that I have tried in the past, since it really absorbs into your skin but at the same time, creates a light film over top. I apply it at night maybe 2 times a week, over top any other products I use. When I wake up the next morning, my skin is brighter, moisturized and feels really hydrated and smooth.
For what the product delivers, it is reasonably priced. I just wish it were more widely available.

I like this body wash because it comes in a nice, large bottle and it has a fresh, fruity scent. It lathers nicely and leaves skin feeling clean but other than that, this body wash is pretty average. There isn't anything bad or wrong with it, but it isn't amazing either. I was hoping, being Clean and Clear, that it would be good for acne prone skin but it doesn't contain any anti acne ingredients and I didn't notice a difference. I received this for free from the brand but I think I would buy it again since there is a large quantity for a reasonable price. -

This is kind of a difficult conditioner for me because I do and I don't like it. It's very light, which is what it is supposed to be and doesn't weigh down your hair but for my frizzy curls, sometimes I need a heavy conditioner that will weigh down my hair. However, I use this conditioner when I do a hair mask and I love the results. My hair is still light and has volume but with the mask it is soft and frizziless.
I like the smell and the price of this conditioner and I think I will consider purchasing again.
I received this bottle for free to review from Pantene.

This cleanser delivers on it's promise. It contains 2% salicylic acid and it is oil free. I find that it gets rid of dirt and prevents blemishes. I don't find that it treats so much as prevents but as a daily cleanser it definitely does the job. I'm not crazy about the smell but that isn't a deal breaker for me. The price is good (around $8 usually), which is average for a drugstore cleanser. -
Elizabeth Grant Caviar Eye Creme
I found this product at a Winners in Toronto for around $8 or $10 for 30ml and I didn't realise it at the time, but this is a steal! If you purchase the same product online, it's about $75 for 50 ml (WHOA!). At around $10, I really like this... +
I found this product at a Winners in Toronto for around $8 or $10 for 30ml and I didn't realise it at the time, but this is a steal! If you purchase the same product online, it's about $75 for 50 ml (WHOA!). At around $10, I really like this product. It is what I needed for my skin type and my needs. It doesn't really do anything anti-aging wise but it's moisturizing and hydrating and sensitive for the eye region. It doesn't have a particularly strong scent but it is pleasant. I like the feel of the cream too, not too greasy, not too heavy or light. I use it in the morning and at night. -

I received this as a sample in the John Frieda Elite Members Club kit. This is definitely going to be one of the products I rebuy.
I use this on dry hair, in the morning as a last step, after any curling, serums etc that I might use. It's kind of a multi purpose finishing cream for me. I use it to attack frizz, smooth my hair and also to hydrate my dry hair. I have used this on my curly and straight hair. I really like that it seems to soak into my hair and last all day making it soft.
It's a nice thick consistency, similar to a body lotion and has a nice, pleasant smell.

I really like this set of shampoo and conditioner. I found that it definitely delivered on it's promise. My hair felt like it had lift and volume and it felt thicker too. It has a pleasant perfumey smell and it lathers well too. I like that because the conditioner gives volume, it doesn't really weigh my hair down like another conditioner would. It's a good price and I would rebuy.
I received this product from L'Oreal to review.
