DAVIDs Tea Creme Caramel Rooibos
What is there not to like about David's Tea -other than the fact that "real" sales don't happen too often....? This tea is fantastic - I enjoy Rooibos, but this tea is creamy and makes a great latte!

If you enjoy nice smells (who doesn't?) and love candles, but hate having to babysit one, then Lampe Berger may be for you....I recently discovered this product before visiting Paris and all I can say is try this!!!
You buy the lamp base in which you pour the liquid....the wick on the candle is lit for only 2-2.5 minutes and then you blow it out...what remains is the fragrance...pretty simple and easy to follow directions, etc.. I found my first bottle online via Varage Sale :p go figure....and then purchased the liquid at a Chinese retailer (in Richmond) who also sold Le Creuset...you choose from dozens of fragrances, but some are pretty classic - I LOVE this product and its simplicity...some of its lamps are works of art, but for my modest budget, a $10 lamp is a good starter.... (review not paid btw)

Nutella & GO! Hazelnut Spread and Breadsticks

I am a Mom....I have a few years of Nutella under my belt...I am a NUTELLA-lover, so really, nothing is wrong with that side of the equation....the dry breadsticks, however, NOT a fan of these....nor the price - even on sale, the price is not right! I can't believe that these are still being sold. :(
The quality should be 5 due to the Nutella, but those breadsticks just bring the whole thing down.
However, if I were one of my kids were to review this, they would say GREAT, although they realise the rip-off of a price they are...Sorry Nutella : Love you, just not your child!

I highly recommend this product to new-to-mascara teenagers who don't have a lot of disposable income to spend, but who want to start using mascara. I used this as a teenager and really loved it....I was even happier to find that I could introduce mascara to my daughter without spending more than $30 for something that, due to inexperience, may dry out due to too much pumping....
Be aware that one coat is usually enough and make sure that you do check your eyes throughout the day to ensure that they are not "running" - otherwise a good starter product!

I purchased this product at the suggestion of my non-regular lady at SDM (Shoppers Drug Mart) who told me that it was excellent...background.....I had purchased a trial kit of mascaras which included Lancome Hypnose months before) and had subsequently used the coupon to get a full-size Hypnose which I LOVED and used up :(....so....since usually the SDM beauty gals have been accurate with my likes, I bought Doll Lashes and well....I guess her idea of what doll lashes look like collided with my idea of filled in and full lashes....much to my chagrin and shock, after application of this product, I got lashes that literally looked like I had 3 eyelashes...ok maybe 4.... :( I don't have a lot of lashes to start with and this mascara did not do what I thought any mascara should do..I suppose if you have a lot of eyelashes, you can afford to play around with this, but not I (eye)! -

I feel that I would have given this product 5 stars, had my son (the one who really should be using this product) been diligent at using this product, so I didn't want to hijack stars by taking them away for not seeing the results that I felt I wanted to see....
This product got rave reviews from the saleslady and the La Roche-Posay sales gal who gave me a lot of other product samples to try when I purchased this product. My older son (16) used/uses this, but really results can be monitored only after a consistent usage, and he doesn't use this product in consistent enough manner for me to give 5 stars, but he didn't mind the fragrance at all which is one reason that cleansers have turned him off. On the other hand, I have a 12 year old son who has started with his oil production and thus pimples quite early; he uses this product and it seems to be working for him. My youngest son enjoys using it and it doesn't leave any residue or have a harsh smell nor leave any stinging skin after usage which is a plus...ideally regular twice daily usage would be ideal, but even with his evening ritual, if he doesn't cover his head like a hibernating bear then the product can do its trick and in the morning, his red pimples have definitely calmed down! A good product.

Note: this review is for: La Roche-Posay 50 Anthelios MINERALl tinted "ultra-light" moisturiser - the bottle looks identical to mine, but just adding this preface.
In my days I have gone from 'natural' skincare to wearing liquid foundation, to powder, to Bare Minerals, PUR, to ultimately this foundation......I have to say that this is the easiest way to get moisture in addition to a bit of colour without any grease! I trust the advisor at my local SDM (Shoppers Drug Mart), but I wasn't feeling the 100% of trust when she told me about this product for a few reasons (1 of which I have yet to review....)..., but having learned that we ladies MUST not be negligent about our SPF facial regime, and being vain, I decided that I must find out what I needed. I heard about Skinceuticals (someone I know swears by their stuff...but more pricey) then someone said that they prefer Lancome, but before I went that way, I visited my SDM lady who brought me to the Laroche Posay aisle and told me that this is what she used - nothing like a personal testimonial right? She told me that the finish goes with any colour skin type - I'm medium and my 14 year old daughter is Snow White, so I was a bit hesitant - yes....I didn't think that she wanted to look like a Cheetoh.....however, after having my questions answered, I tried it on the back of my hand and then bought 2 bottles of it - one of me and one for Missy Lu....I went home, cleansed and moisturised my face and then put the product on...I was impressed....I needed about a dime to a nickel-sized amount, then quickly with all fingertips and carefully applied to my face....no mess, no grease, just a nice slick feeling that was dry...I was careful to blend along the throat area and with a bit of the moisture on my fingers, I moisturised my hands...even when I am feeling lazy, I put this on and then VOILA, I'm done - quick and easy....the sales lady told me that I could, if I wanted, wear my powder foundation on top, but frankly, I haven't found the need. Oh, and HINT: my Snow White-skinned daughter, wears this, but I do have to ensure that she blends, because, although not so evident on her face, but on her neck, the tint shows when not blended completely.

I LOVED this product! I say this in the past tense because it is getting harder to find. (Since I know that it is still available, however, I will write in the present tense)I find that the SDM (Shoppers Drug Mart) I go to favours other Lancome mascaras (some of which I have yet to try) over this original. It is always consistent and never clumps. I absolutely love Lancome quality, but when feeling the pinch of the pocketbook and feel like I need to eat, I opt for others, but do regret it.....Lancome may be more expensive, but if used right, this mascara has lasted me upwards of 9 months with regular but not daily use. -
