This shampoo bar is the first shampoo bar I have ever tried. It blew away my expectations. It wasn't gritty, it lathered beautifully, and my hair felt clean and absolutely not nasty as I was worried it would afterwards. The only thing is... the coconut + aloe vera scent is TOO strong. I'm sitting here writing this feeling a little woozy from the strength of it. They could tone this particular one down a little, and it would still leave a nice scent. Otherwise, amazing. Please, PLEASE keep this up... Garnier, and all other brands. Zero plastic waste and this shampoo bar get two huge thumbs-up from me! -

You don’t have to be a fan of the Bluey show to adore this case of four cute wooden puzzles. The backgrounds are colourful and charming, and you have the choice to complete the scene, or add the thick “3D” characters to the scene. Ingenious. The only thing that can be improved upon is that the paper for the pictures is already peeling away from the wood and my kiddo isn’t hard on the puzzles. -
Kraft Hazelnut Spread with Cocoa
It's exactly like a chocolate hazelnut spread should taste, and I LOVE how there is no palm oil. I am definitely urging hubby to buy this at our next shopping trip.

This gel cream has a light texture that absorbs into skin effortlessly. It definitely makes my skin feel refreshed and smooth the next day. However, I haven't really noticed any skin brightening but it is too soon (been two weeks) to really tell. I will keep using this as in all other aspects, it seems to be doing wonders for my skin! -

I was surprised that this "pressed serum" looked more like stiff jelly, but it does moisturise the skin effectively. Unfortunately, I personally found that the scent --while initially pleasant--quickly devolved into a very perfume-y aroma that I did not quite care for, so passed this on to hubby for him to try and review.
He has two very dry spots by either nostril, and found after only one nighttime application that they cleared right up. He's been using this product on and off every other evening now, and says he definitely would recommend and that it works.
Thanks, Neutrogena!

Neutrogena® Hydro Boost Hyaluronic Acid Serum
I have combination dry skin and this serum does the job without leaving my face feeling heavy/oily/sticky. It absorbs right into my skin and leaves it feeling hydrated, soft and smooth. I also love that there is barely any scent to it.

Dial® Clean + Gentle Waterlily Foaming Hand Wash
This foaming hand wash works up a nice lather, and rinses off easily. There is also a nice, discreet scent to it that I enjoy. I appreciate that it comes in a plain bottle so that you can reuse it in future.

I really loved using this body wash. Although I cannot say whether it smells like an actual waterlily, the scent is subtle and pleasing. It does not dry out my skin or irritate it, and a shadow of the scent lingers on my skin afterwards. The only thing that surprised me is the fact that it has sodium laureth sulfate. It isn't claiming to be a clean shampoo, but says it is derived from natural ingredients, so finding that item on the list was a bit interesting.
Aside from that, I would still recommend this to anyone on the market looking for a gentle, cleansing wash and aren't necessarily too fussed on whether it is strictly clean/green/natural. As a "normal" body wash, it exceeds expectations, and does what it ought to.

I was expecting this to go on light and unobtrusively but it seems to be stickier than some formulations. The smell also reminded me somewhat of an odd cross between craft glue and oatmeal but wasn't unpleasant, simply oddly interesting.
I did wake up next day to really soft skin, even on the knees which are my tough spots, so since that is its main purpose, I'd say this product is pretty much a win. :)

For a company that somehow tries to convince you it doesn't have SLS like the cheapie shampoo companies out there, their ingredients label says otherwise. Apart from that, it's really expensive for a nice-smelling shower oil that moisturises. There are other companies that do this better and with actual natural ingredients.
If you care about the above, you will think this a glorious way to pour your money down the shower drain.
If you aren't really into no sulfates products, then this might still be pricey, but you would probably consider it a pampering item.
