My first impression with the shampoo is that it lathered quite a bit less compared to other shampoos I've used before. That doesn't mean it doesn't clean well because my hair felt very clean after using it without feeling dry. For the conditioner, it was thick and creamy, felt very nice & smooth. It really helped detangled my hair without feeling as if I had to tug at my hair with my comb. There was also a nice light citrus scent to these, so anyone with sensitivities to added fragrances might want to avoid this line.
The results? I thought these worked pretty well! They're no miracle products, but I could definitely feel that my bleached coloured hair is much softer, smoother, and less frizzy than before. Does not feel weighed down at all. I have a feeling that with several more uses, my hair would feel significantly more healthier, especially with the conditioner.
The only cons I can think of is how pricey they are at about $40-$50 each, so they won't be something I'll be purchasing regularly. They also don't offer a fragrance-free option in this line for those who are sensitive to such either, so it's not inclusive to all user types. They're overall effective products nonetheless.

I honestly did not like this Deep Moisture hand sanitizer by Dove. Why I didn't like it? It made my hands felt very uncomfortable as if I was coating them with pva glue. It also took a long time to dry and felt very sticky until it actually dried down. When I go to wash my hands later, it felt like my hands were covered in a jelly-like substance as the dried sanitizer rehydrated under the water. There was also a super strong scent due to unnecessary added fragrances.
Apart from all that, it does what it's supposed to do which is sanitize and moisturize your hands. My hands did felt less dry compared to when I was using a competitor brand. I only wish that it had provided a better textural feel that is less gooey and sticky for a more pleasant user experience, as well as a fragrance-free option to accommodate folks with sensitivities to such.

I really like the ingredients and the whole concept of Smart Sweets to help people kick sugar cravings. Every flavor is made from natural ingredients, low in sugar and calories, gluten free, allergens free, and high in fiber content. The Sour Blast Buddies option is plant-based and comes in 5 fruit flavors. I didn't really enjoyed it much in terms of taste. I liked that the initial sour taste was not too strong, as well as the sweet taste that came after it. However, I thought that the fruit flavors were very flat and bland in terms of taste. It was also somewhat hard to chew through and stuck onto my teeth a lot. Smart sweets has a lot of other flavor options to explore so even though I did not enjoy this one, I'm definitely curious to try out other flavours it offers. -

I really like the ingredients and the whole concept of Smart Sweets to help people kick sugar cravings. Every flavor is made from natural ingredients, low in sugar and calories, gluten free, allergens free, and high in fiber content. However, the Sweet Fish option had me very disappointed. I thought that the berry flavour tasted flat and not fruity enough in terms of taste for me. It had a tough, leathery texture that made it very hard to chew. It also annoyingly stuck onto my back molar teeth for a long time. Smart Sweets offer a lot of other flavor options for different preferences so I'm definitely curious to try out other ones. -

I really like the ingredients and the whole concept of Smart Sweets to help people kick sugar cravings. Every flavor is made from natural ingredients, low in sugar and calories, gluten free, allergens free, and high in fiber content. My favorite is the Fruity Gummy Bears which comes in 4 fruit flavours. The gummies were not too overly sweet and has a very soft enjoyable chewy texture. It's great that it does not stick to the teeth very much as well. Definitely curious to try out other flavours from Smart Sweets. -

MY whole family has recently became fans of Kraft's Hazelnut Spread with Cocoa. It has 45% less sugar than the original version and is made with no palm oil, which means that it is low in saturated fat. Much healthier than other similar spreads I've seen. It spreads nicely on bread and tastes really good. I'm sure this will complement well with many other snacks products and fruits as well. I feel less guilty snacking with this than with the original spread, so I will definitely keep on buying for my family. Maybe I'll try the crunchy version, which I'm sure will taste just as awesome! -

My son loves it and he definitely approves of the new and improved taste. I can tell there is less sugar in this new recipe of Quaker's Chocolate Chip Granola bar. With whole grain oats and no artificial ingredients, I feel comfortable giving this to my family for snacks as it is much healthier compared to before. However, it's not something I'd let the kids eat everyday though since it still is not as healthy compared to other granola snacks on the market. Kids are picky eaters but I have no doubts they would turn their noses away from this one. Try the new and improved Quaker Chewy Granola Bars. Perfect for the whole family in its convenient individual package. -

It was so easy and convenient to use Schick Intuition Advanced Moisture with Shea Butter razor as no cream or gel is needed. Just attach the cartilage, add water, shave! My skin really did felt soft and smooth after using it. I also love the ergonomic shape of the shaver as it allowed for easy grip and maneuver. Great shape and felt very sturdy in my hand. The 4 blades for allowed for smooth glide and close shave without any nicks. I would definitely recommend this for anyone who would like to simplify and reduce the hassle of their beauty grooming routine. -

As a person who is allergic to many unknown things in the environment, I am very familiar with what it does to a person. Let me tell you, it is annoying!
So I tried Reactine Regular Strength 24 Hr Relief, and right off the bat I can tell you that compared to a competitor brand I've been using, this is 100% much more effective. Works within 20 minutes and really lasts up to 24 hours for all signs of allergies: itchy skin, itchy eyes, sneezing, stuffiness, hives, runny nose, itchy throat, itchy nose, you name it. The only con is that it can be a bit expensive compared to its other competitor brands.
This is a must product for those suffering from allergies. Especially if you don't want any death stares from other people when you sneeze in public during this pandemic time. I can't recommend this enough.

I think the Always Radiant with Flexfoam may be the best menstrual pad product out there on the market. Not exaggerating at all.
Why I like it?
- Extremely comfortable and breathable, does not feel like I'm wearing any pad at all. I can even wear my yoga tights!
- 100% zero leaks despite how thin it is
- Keeps me absolutely dry due to its ability to soak up so much just for one pad
- Has wings to prevent leaks and stains
- Smells fresh, keeping it odor-free
- Comes in many sizes and lengths which you can choose depending on your flow. This one in particular, size 1, is perfect for lighter days
After trying this, I'm never going back to any other pad products. It is so thin, flexible, absorbent, and secure! I don't want to sound like a shiller, but honestly, nothing else compares to it all.
