This was my first time doing a grocery order and I might be addicted!
The site was super easy to navigate, and it has items from well.ca!
The delivery was smooth, they followed the instructions I left when I placed the order, they also text you if they are able to deliver earlier (if convenient to you, if not they'll come at their regular scheduled time) and they had proper PPE and kept a distance!
Super happy to have been chosen to try this service out! Thanks chickadvisor, Sobeys and Sam (the deliveryman)!

ceramic glaze nail polish

Amazing colours, but the worst polish ever. Hard to get a even coat, and it doesn't go on smoothly. But top coat can usually hide these flaws. By biggest problem is that it cracks within 24hrs. You can literally see the lines all over. Add on another 24hrs and it'll look like you've had these nails for a week because it's chipping so badly. -
Dove 0% Aluminum Deodorant Cucumber & Green Tea Scent

To be very frank I don't have a strong opinion about this deodorant because it is no different from the ones that's currently on their shelf. Maybe because this happens to be one of my regular scents so I don't realize it's a different deodorant? That being said the scent is nice and light, which is why its my usual scent. The effectiveness of this product is no different from their usual line. I only really feel a different when im using the clinical line or the spray.
As a huge fan of dove deodorant products I would definitely recommend their products. But this one in particular one neither a hit or miss for me.

St. Ives® Shower Foam Oatmeal & Shea Butter
But now I'm sold. After a week my skin was noticeably softer and much more hydrant. Yay to no more ashy skin! I do like that it's a lighter texture, but I feel like I'm using way more than needed. I use 2-3 pumps, which feels like alot. Or am I... +
But now I'm sold. After a week my skin was noticeably softer and much more hydrant. Yay to no more ashy skin! I do like that it's a lighter texture, but I feel like I'm using way more than needed. I use 2-3 pumps, which feels like alot. Or am I doing this wrong? Also my foam is not as "foamy" however I do like that it's not strongly scented so I can still use perfume and not worry about the clash of scents. -

The first time i tried a product like this was from another brand that isn't as readily available in Canada. So when i found out that Kate Sommerville had their own version i knew i had to pick one up (even though i haven't finished the one i had). I found that this one was stronger than the one i own because i can feel this "tingly" effect after putting it on which is great because the faster it dries up the pimple the better. Im about 2/3 into this bottle and will DEFINITELY repurchase! -

The reason i love these dove antiperspirant is the fact that you cannot feel it on and the scent is absolutely amazing. they do not smell chemical based now "soapy". The other thing i love about it is the fine mist, so you get an even coverage and not just a streak of it. I've also never had any issues with white marks or having it turn my clothes "yellowy". Also the pricing is amazing!!! -

I was lucky enough to have received the Perfecting Primer to try and review (thanks ChickAdvisor and NudebyNature!) and im so happy with it. the texture is quite similar to the Smashbox Light primer, but this one has a slightly more matte and satiny feel to it. There is a light citrus scent too, which i love because it's very awakening. i'm definitely going to look into the full size product once im out on the sample size as it's about $10 cheaper than my usual primer. I was hoping to use the coupon that came with the product to pick up a foundation so that i can try it as a set, but sadly i wasn't able to find a shade to match my skintone. Nevertheless i would still recommend this primer to those who are looking for some thing my highend but with a slightly lower price tag. -

I received a free TRESemmé Compressed Micro Mist™ Hair Spray from ChickAdvisor for reviewing purposes, all reviews are of my own opinion.
When i was selected for this review i was super excited because i'm always looking for a good hair spray to keep my stray hairs at bay, The concept of this is great because i doesn't take up a lot of counter space, and it's a level two hold. It also doesn't smell like a toxic zone, like most hairspray and it wasn't sticky or helmet like. My hair still felt really loose and i really can't comment on smoothness as my hair is fairly straight. However, it didn't hold my hair down. I usually comb back my side bangs and spray it down when i have my hair up in a pony tail. but i didn't even make it out the house and my bangs were already falling back on my face. So i went back to the bathroom and sprayed on even MORE to hold it down
this time it worked and i was able to last through most of the night. Despite layering on so much hairspray, my hair still felt really nice and not hard like a helmet. However i felt like i used more product than i usually do with regular hair spray.
Needless to say, this product just isn't for me and i wont be purchasing this product in the future nor will this be my recommendation to my friends and family.

I was introduced this product by one of the girls at Sephora when i was looking for a new foundation as the one i was using was a smudge too light. So instead of getting a new one, i was suggested to get this to "darken" mine.
It's a great idea and concept and does take some time to get used to and too much of it will make you cakey. With that said i wouldn't recommend this to those with dry skin, as i think it's best for those with oilier ski. However, after a while i got a new foundation as it was just easier, and so this sat in my drawer. it's been maybe a year or less? and i found it and thought maybe i'd give it another go. However, sadly, i can barely get any product out. It's dried up!!!! it has a pricey price tag, small amount, and now it dries quickly within itself.
overall, the product itself isn't bad. does what it says it does. but when you factor in price, amount of product you get, and how short of a time period you can keep it i would not buy this again.

I received this product for free from ChickAdvisor to review and am so glad i did! Thank you Becel and ChickAdvisor!
I came home and saw this package waiting for me and went straight to the kitchen to make dinner. The oil was SUPER cold, good ol'Canadian winters eh, but it didn't create smoke while heating in the pan! And typically the kitchen gets quite smokey when im cooking (because i'm not the greatest in the kitchen), but that didn't happen this time! Thank goodness for the 455F smokepoint!
The taste was subtle, I barely tasted the oil, as i was worried it was overpowering. I say this because when i initially smelled the oil out the bottle, it smelled like refried oil. But that smell wasn't obvious when cooking and eating my dinner.
Im definitely going to purchase this once i run out of this bottle!
Thanks again ChickAdvisor and Becel!
