Pure Leaf Earl Grey Loose Tea is has won this non fan of Earl Grey teas over. I have to be honest and say that I have never been a fan of Earl Grey tea. No matter what brand I have tried, it just never agreed with me and left a lingering aftertaste that I didn't like. The aroma of the tea was enough to turn me off. I was hesitant on trying this tea, after all, my previous experiences had left a bad taste in my mouth.
After trying Pure Leaf's Earl Grey tea, I have to eat my words and say that not ALL Earl Grey teas are created equal. I really enjoyed this tea and it didn't leave that aftertaste in my mouth. The tea had a nice aroma as well which was inviting. I was quite surprised and pleased at the same time. I tried the tea on it's own and it was really good, something I would have never dared do in the past. It was good with milk and sugar as well but I found it best with just a plash of lemon. I may even purchase this tea in the future.

Pure Leaf Black Tea with Vanilla Loose Long Leaf Tea is a nice flavourful tea with a subtle splash of vanilla. I am a plain jane sorta gal. I usually stick to my orange pekoe. That said, lately I have been expanding my choices and trying a lot of specialty teas which included loose leaf teas. Black tea is high on my list of teas to drink when settling down in the evening. I liked the subtle hint of vaniliia flavour in the tea. Sometimes I drink my tea black while other times I add milk and sugar or just lemon, depending on the tea. I experimented and found with this tea it was wonderful all on it's own. It has a very nice soothing aroma with no lingering aftertaste. I actually made another cup and then another. I would definitely purchase this tea! -

I tested the the Dove Nutritive Solutions Coconut & Hydration Conditioner. I really loved how creamy it felt and how well it not only hydrated my hair but left it feeling so soft and luxurious, even after I had rinsed it out of my hair. As you can see from my photo, the Dove Nutritive Solutions Coconut & Hydration Conditioner has somewhat of a yellowish colour to it. The amount you see in my hand is approximately the same amount that I used to condition my hair. It covered well and was easy to rinse out leaving no residue and it didn't leave my hair feeling heavy afterwards. The conditioner has a pleasant scent as well. I would purchase this product #DoveCoconutHydration #gotitfree -

I really loved trying this Shampoo. I started using it as soon as it arrived and continued using it for approximately 2 weeks (every other day or so). It has a fresh clean scent that is not overbearing. Although, I am not sure about my ability to detect scents as I couldn't smell any coconut. It must have a really soft coconut undertone. Either that, or I am just used to products with a heavy coconut presence. As you can see from my photo, the shampoo is clear. It has a medium consistency. The shampoo lathers up really well and I found that a little bit goes a long way. When I first washed my hair it was really dirty from dust in the air and from working outside in the garden all day. My hair felt like straw to say the least. The shampoo worked really well getting my hair clean. so well that my hair squeaked as I was rinsing my hair out. The shampoo is easily rinsed out and doesn't take forever. It didn't leave any residue on my hair but instead left my hair feeling rejuvenated, fresh and definitely clean. I would definitely purchase this product. #DoveCoconutHydration #gotitfree -

To be honest, I haven't been wearing much makeup these days. It's been so hot, humid and sticky that I break out whenever I do. I have been working a lot outside and it didn't make much sense to wear makeup so my plants can see me all pretty like. That said, for the sake of reviewing the product, I did wear some mascara and eye liner. I found the Makeup Remover worked well in removing both the eye liner and mascara. It didn't smudge it around as other makeup removers I have used.

Revitalizing is what I would use to describe the Renewing Creamy Scrub. I've been using it at night before bedtime. I can feel the tiny blue beads doing their work lifting all the dead cells from my skin and giving it a little massage in the process. My skin felt clean, soft and radiant after using it. To me, the cream has little scent but then again my allergies are acting up bad so it may have more of a scent than I detected. I loved that the cream was easy to spread, had a light consistency, left no residue and was non greasy. I will be purchasing this product in the future for sure.

I loved using the Fresh Cleansing Gel. It's very light, gentle on my skin and leaves no residue but most of all it is non greasy. A little goes a long way so it will last quite a while. Ive barely put a dent in the bottle and I've been using it a few times a day. Fresh and glowing is just one way to describe how the cleansing gel left my skin looking and feeling. This is definitely a product that I will purchase again in the future.

I just bought this and I am using it right now (well, not as I type but you know what I mean) -lol- I love the scent which is subtle and not overpowering and the way it makes my skin feel so luxurious. It's great for the winter months as it truly leaves your skin soft and hydrated and is very gentle on the skin. It lathers very well and a little goes a long way. -

To date it is the best flat iron I have ever used!
Just one move of the switch and it's ready to heat up. There are no temperature settings other than ON.
The Flat Iron has a SMART automatic temperature feature. This feature adjusts the temperature required based on the thickness of the hair and texture. It will remain at a higher temperature while doing the bulk of your hair and then lower when you do your bangs (if you have any).
The plates of the Flat Iron are 100% solid ceramic, which as an added feature and bonus, they also pivot.
For those of us who are lefties, be rest assured as ISA's Victorya Flat Iron has an ambidextrous design!!
The 360 degree swivel cord is a feature that I absolutely fell in love with. No more getting tangled up in the cord or the cord falling in my face or being in the way while I am trying to maneuver the iron.
Travelling will not be a hassle, especially overseas. The flat iron is sleek and compact and can be plugged in ANYWHERE due to it's Universal Voltage.
I was also happy to find out that ISA Professional stands behind their product so much that they offer a warranty on this product for a full 2 years!!

The bar is water activated. Simply run water over the bar (if you choose to shave outside of the shower or bath) and glide over your legs once. Yup, that's right!! Just one pass over the skin and then run your shaver along then repeat until your whole leg is shaved. There is no need for a mass of goo to be on your skin. All you need is a smooth surface. No rinsing needed either!! Just take a towel and dry your legs and voila - done!! It's also great for those sensitive areas such as underarms, bikini lines and face.
The Remay Shave Gel Bar contains absolutely no parabens or sulphates. It is preserved with tea tree oil and contains coconut oil which is added to moisturize the skin.
The bars long life is attributed to the ingenious packaging. The lid protects the bar from exposure to additional water which is great!! The shave gel bar is small and compact which makes for the perfect travel companion. It is definitely small enough to tote along in your purse if needed (an no one would know that it's a shaving product).
I cannot tell you enough how much I love this product. No pics this time around folks, sorry, but no one wants to see my legs -lol- I was saying to myself, REMAY, where have you been all my life. Long lasting product, marvelous scent, no mess, easy to shave with no build up in the razor, moisturizes extremely well during and after I shave, non stinging and chemical free. What is not to love!!!
