I love elderberry and it was great to try the powder, but it's hard to gauge results from just a couple of uses and I'm not sure I would purchase since it contains an artificial sweetener, sucralose. Really easy to mix with water and the individual packets make it super easy to take with you on the go.

Parissa Brazilian Hot Wax
I love the idea of a stripless hard wax, but the execution here leaves a little to be desired. I don't have a microwave, and, while I have heated other waxes using a double boiler/pot of water method, it was a struggle getting this one warm enough... +
I love the idea of a stripless hard wax, but the execution here leaves a little to be desired. I don't have a microwave, and, while I have heated other waxes using a double boiler/pot of water method, it was a struggle getting this one warm enough to be useable. Would not recommend without a wax warmer or microwave. -

This tastes mainly of chamomile to me, with just a hint of apple and lavender rounding that out. I like the sustainability of the brand and the simple ingredients in this tea -- just flowers and fruit, no added flavours or anything else. I'd never tried teapigs before, but I would definitely be curious to check out the brand's other offerings now! -

Works well, with odor protection that lasts all day, but I experienced some irritation the first several times I used the deodorant. Texture is smooth and application is easy, and the scent is a standout -- a lovely and unisex mix of spice, citrus, and woodsy notes.

Nude by Nature Perfecting Primer

The Perfecting Primer has a nice smooth texture and creates a good hydrated canvas for makeup, but I didn't notice any benefits in terms of prolonging the longevity or wear of my makeup. I don't usually use a face primer and this hasn't convinced me that I need to -- I can get the same results from a good moisturizer. Ultimately, It's not a bad product, just not a step that I feel is necessary in my routine.

The Almond, Sea Salt, and Dark Chocolate bar is a little less sweet than the cashew and I just didn't love it as much as that one. It's a good bar -- soy-free and non-GMO, good texture, and satisfies your hunger, but this particular flavour was a little forgettable for me.

I always carry some kind of protein bar in my purse and the new PowerBar Plant Protein are a great option! Soy free, non-GMO + taste delicious. The Cashew, Salted Caramel and Dark Chocolate tastes more like a candy bar than your average protein bar -- very sweet and so yummy! By far my favourite of the two flavours I tried.

Everyday Minerals Semi-matte Mineral Base in Fairly Light Neutral (Light 2N)
Great medium coverage mineral foundation! It's not overly glowy or matte, just a very natural, skin-like finish. Love that EDM offers free sample packs on their site to help color match too -- you just pay shipping :) I wear the shade 1N not 2N.

Physician's Formula Organic Wear Work It Mascara

The worst Organic Wear mascara I've tried! Hardly noticeable on the lashes and, contrary to the claims on the box, it doesn't stay put. Smudges easily and often flakes throughout the day too. I'm a glasses wearer, and it also leaves strange oily smudges (not black marks, just clear smears) all over the lenses if my lashes touch at all. -
SheaMoisture SuperFruit Renewal Eye Cream
