Didn't do much for my blemishes (but mainly mine are from poor diet or bad sleeping). An OK wipe but not one I'd buy again probably. I'm also leery of using wipes with blemish fighting ingredients near my eyes and so I always have to use another makeup remover together with this. Too much effort. -

Like most Simple wipes, these do a pretty goo job of cleansing my skin. I just am not sure if they truly helped with the oil balancing. My skin was initially feeling more balanced but as the day wore on I still had greasiness.
Generally a good product, just not my favorite from Simple. They have other wipes that I like better.

Canada Dry Blackberry Ginger Ale
Really good flavoured ginger ale although tbh I like the cranberry flavour better. Still, I would probably buy this again. My friends were over on the weekend and I shared with them. Everyone thought it was pretty good!

I enjoyed using this serum. It's very lightweight and absorbs really fast. I also like that the scent is very delicate and dissipates quickly because I prefer extremely mild or unscented products in general.
I find that it helps my moisturizers absorb better and I've had absolutely no issues transitioning my skin over to this product (I often break out but not with Vichy Idealia). It may be a little on the pricier side but truth is it's comparable in price to many other serums (and certainly less expensive than the prestige brands). I think it's worth it and would definitely recommend it to others.

Vichy Idealia Skin Sleep

This night cream is bar none the nicest I've ever used! Almost everything I've tried before now was really heavy and I woke up with super oily skin. Skin Sleep soaks in quickly, has a very mild fragrance, and I don't wake up with a shiny face!
I have seen an improvement in my skin's appearance, but I look forward to seeing even stronger results after using it for a little while longer. This product may be pricey, but Shoppers Drug Mart carries it and they always have great promotions for Optimum points when you buy beauty products so I'll be sure to grab my next jar of product at that time. It's definitely going to be a staple for me!

I have been very curious about Clarisonic devices for a long time but did not have the opportunity to actually use one. Considering all of the hype, I had sky-high expectations. I'm happy to say that Mia 2 lived up to them. I regularly exfoliate and am pretty religious with using a proper skin care regimen so I was curious to see if Mia 2 would make any difference.
After the very first use I experienced an improvement in my skin. I have larger pores and there's always some gunk collecting in them even when I exfoliate. Mia 2 really got a lot of that out! I also saw much better absorption of my moisturizing products after using this device.
The only downside is, as others have mentioned, the high entry price and the fact that you need to replace the brush heads regularly. However, this is a FANTASTIC gifting idea to put on your Christmas wish list or splurge to buy for someone else. You will not be disappointed!
I received this product free to test.

They are delicious! I would compare the texture to Rice Krispie Squares, light and chewy and crispy. There is just the right amount of chocolate and the saltyness of the nuts is a welcome contrast. The only thing I'd change is to have even more nuts in there.
Overall I would buy these again especially if I find them on sale. They are a great snack and I think healthier than the usual type of granola bars. Thumbs up!

I have not had a DQ cake in a while, but there was a time when I asked my mom every year to buy one for my birthday party. Even the basic flavours are so yummy and everyone loves them, but I am looking forward to trying some of the new flavours at DQ. They are a little expensive, but these days most cakes you buy at the grocery store are not much cheaper but they sure don't taste as good. -
Sisley handbag
I agree with the previous reviewer! Their new stuff is really cute. I didn't end up buying one in the store, but I found them on Amazon too and will probably pick one up soon.

Relief for cold sores and chapped lips! This stuff is the best I have ever used (of the "medicinal" varieties). I've only used the original flavour, so I can't rate the others. It is a little medicine-y in smell and taste, but not unpleasant. A must-have in the winter, especially in the north. -
