I used this serum for about two weeks at night to help with some acne marks and I did see some improvement with post acne marks and uneven tone mostly on my cheeks.
It feels like a light oil going on but it does seem to mostly absorb in a few minutes and I had no issues layering a gel cream on top for night time use, I really liked how the texture did not transfer easily or get in my eyes.
The packaging seems secure, I travelled with it and you can easily dispense the amount you want. It had no noticeable scent. Overall my favorite aspect of this product is the texture and how well it absorbs compared to similar Vitamin C serums I have tried.

This hair wrap towel is very well designed and convenient, I have quite long hair past my shoulders and I was able to easily wrap it all up when wet and then twist and secure the end of the towel with the attached elastic loop and it stayed on my head well and did not fall off. I thought it helped absorb water to dry my hair and then when I was done with it, it dried quickly so I could re pack it in my luggage for travel. Great option for either home or travel use and much nicer feeling than a standard heavy terry style towel. I also liked the nice light pink colour and there are many colour options to choose from.

This hand wash in the scent “Ambiance de plage” has notes of gardenia petals and shredded coconut and pineapple and is softly floral with a touch of sweetness from the coconut and pineapple. It definitely feels beachy without being a sunscreen scent.
I think this would be a safe choice for a gift and one of the more easy to enjoy scents from the line, with no sharp or unusual notes,. The hand wash also has argan oil and hyaluronic acid and a small amount lathered well, it dispensed easily and the packaging is elegant and would match many décor styles.

This hand cream in the scent “Ambiance de plage” has notes of gardenia petals and shredded coconut and pineapple and is softly floral with a touch of sweetness from the coconut and pineapple. It definitely feels beachy without being a sunscreen scent.
I think this would be a safe choice for a gift and one of the more easy to wear scents from the line, with no sharp or unusual notes, there is a generous amount in the package especially the cream is a good size.
The hand cream has argan oil but it still quite a light texture and absorbs easily and the scent is noticeable without being overwhelming, but I didn’t find it super hydrating for really dry hands in the winter. (I was gifted this product for review.)

This lotion has a traditional formula and a classic scent, there is shea butter and vitamin E and it takes a few minutes to really absorb. The scent is initially very noticeable, kind of powdery but fades within a few minutes. I tried it for several nights on my hands and arms and it worked fine for general moisturising. You do get a large amount in the bottle and the pump dispenser is convenient, I personally do not prefer to use one of the main ingredients and don't really enjoy the scent.

I had 30 pounds of apples to use up and some open bags of protein pancake mix so I made three batches of sheet pan protein pancake bars just following the recipe on the bag. For two of the pans, I added a streusel topping of sugar, pecans, pumpkin spice and butter which I mixed quickly in the Vida Paderno Food Chopper. I thought it was quite powerful for a smaller device and chopped the pecans evenly and fast. It has three attachments for grating, shredding and chopping. It has a suction base to stay in place on the counter.
I ran all of the pieces except the base through my dishwasher after and they came out fine. It was easy to put away and store without taking up much room, and I will use it again for sauces, toppings and chopping or grating fruits and vegetables.

These patches are meant to help with post acne issues like redness and dark spots and are larger than many standard round acne patches. They are quite thin and flexible and almost undetectable once applied. Very comfortable to wear and not thick or sticky and stayed on overnight with no issues. I used one on my shoulder where I had a spot from a tank top strap rubbing my skin and I think it helped. (I received this product free for review).

It comes with 20 pieces total, so 4 place settings of 5 pieces each including a dinner size fork, knife and spoon and then a smaller dessert or salad fork and spoon.
The design is very modern but also timeless, I like that there are no engraved patterns so it shouldn’t go out of style. It is stainless steel and dishwasher safe.
I used the fork and spoon to eat pesto pasta and found them fairly comfortable to hold, they are narrower and slimmer than a lot of flatware options so it could be a bit harder to hold for people with very large hands. They stacked easily for storage and were easy to clean. (I received this product free for review).

These balms come in a luxurious, heavy packaging and glide on smoothly, I find the colour more sheer than the Lip Oil Stick version. It was moderately hydrating, comfortable to wear and not sticky and very flattering sheer colour you can apply without a mirror. Overall a nice choice for a luxury lip balm option! -
