I love this lip balm! It does exactly what I need it to do which is moisturize well without leaving a sticky high gloss. I love it. I can top it with my favourite lipstick and it's perfect.

I really wanted to like this cream, and I did really like it... The trouble is I hardly got to try it. I was sent a 10ml sample size (at least I hope that was a sample size because if that's the full size it's a rip off). Those 10ml (that's two teaspoons) was enough to moisturize both my legs TWICE. That's it. I have no idea how effective this would have been with more use. My skin is very dry, so I need a thick rich cream and this seemed like it would be amazing. Unfortunately after two applications I noticed no difference.

I really wanted to like this product. The smell wasn't my favourite, sort of a must scent. It did prevent odour and wetness for a whole day and that was great. However, it says it's effective for 48hrs. No. Absolutely not. It was no longer blocking odour within 24hrs (when I woke up the next morning it was definitely not working). I like my deodorant to last between showers at least, and I shower every morning.
I'd skip this one.

The fragrance of these cleansing wipes is just awful. I used them twice and had to wash my face after to try to get the smell off.
I really can't speak to the price or value of these as I was only sent a sample size of 7 wipes. I've never received a sample size item through the PRC. If seven wipes are the full size, then it's a total rip off.

I was pretty skeptical about this product and wasn't convinced it would remove my makeup AND leave my skin actually feeling clean. I tried applying it directly to my face and then wiping it off with a reusable cotton makeup remover pad. That did not work for me at all. Instead, I squeezed a fair amount of the product onto the reusable cotton pad and used it that way with better results. Did it remove my makeup? Mostly. I only wear pressed powder for a "foundation", so it's not like it's a huge job to get it off my skin. This cleansing cream removed it fairly well, though if I applied more cream onto a fresh reusable cotton pad, I could always get a bit more makeup off my skin. It did leave my face nicely moisturized though, so I could skip the night cream. I wouldn't use this to clean my face in the morning because it really didn't leave my skin feeling fresh or clean.
I tried to use it to remove my non-waterproof mascara once. I lost too many eyelashes and was still left covered in mascara. So it definitely doesn't remove eye makeup.
I still found my skin looked great in the morning after using it. So I would still recommend it as a light makeup remover/night cream.

Now this is a moisturizer! There's nothing light about this cream. It definitely hydrates, but for summer use it's a bit much. I can see it being great for winter use though! It isn't too thick and it's not sticky, but it provides a lot of hydration. So if you are prone to dry skin year round, this is for you!

I love serums! I've been looking for a new serum for a while, and although I typically go for a vitamin rich serum or an early signs of aging serum, I was selected to review the Aqualia line. Do I like this serum? Yes. Does it do what it claims? Yes. Does it do everything I want a serum to do for my skin? No.
This serum is a light runny texture. Like a watery lotion, not creamy and not an oil. A full push on the pump is enough for my whole face, but I need a bit more to cover my neck. This serum is very hydrating. I can (and do) wear it without a moisturizer/lotion overtop. It's that hydrating. In winter, my skin is more dry, so I can see myself wanting to use this under a moisturizer. In summer though? No way. It's good all on its own. I find it is great under makeup and the scent isn't overwhelming.

This eye balm is excellent. It's sort of like a gel, but without any sticky texture. It goes on smoothly, moisturizers well, and works well under makeup. It feels light on the skin too. I only needed a tiny bit for each eye as it really goes a long way and spreads a lot. So a full press on the pump would probably be enough to do both eyes for a week! I used maybe half a grain of rice sized amount for BOTH eyes together.
I'm not sure that it made my eyes look less tired, but as a mom of two there's not a whole lot that will anyway!

I've been needing more make up remover wipes, so getting the Simple Micellar wipes was perfect timing. I found they removed makeup really well without needing to scrub. I liked that this left my skin feeling clean and fresh. It also left behind a layer of moisture which was nice. I preferred using these wipes at night to remove my makeup from the day and will continue to use them! I'd highly recommend these!
