I absolutely love this moisturizer! I was pleasantly surprised that it's formulated without essential oils and alcohol (I actively avoid these myself); as a result, the scent is not the most refined but it's also not really noticeable or particularly offensive so that's that :) The product itself is very rich and hydrating and my combo skin just drinks it up! It's non-sticky, non-greasy, non-comedogenic, super quick to absorb and doesn't leave a film behind. It can be "stacked" with any other products that are a part of a routine (I use it as part of my evening routine and usually as the last layer on top in order to "seal" everything). It's great for the colder months, it's lightweight enough and non-stifling for the more humid conditions as the weather is starting to warm up... Just the perfect product for all year round!

NEOSTRATA® 15% Vitamin C + PHA Serum

To be honest, my first impression of this product is that it smells absolutely awful. It smells like an expired Omega-3 supplement :) However, the scent is not too strong and is bearable. The product has the consistency of an oil but it's not greasy or sticky and absorbs really quickly. It has definitely brightened and refreshed my complexion and my skin is more luminous! Some Vit. C serums irritate my skin but I've had no reaction to this one. I've used it non-stop for three weeks as part of my nighttime routine under moisturizer and it's definitely become a staple in my skincare lineup! It's a clean, effective and affordable product and I'd absolutely recommend it to anyone looking for a good Vit. C serum. -

This is a great sunscreen! I love that it comes in stick form, it's super easy and mess-free to apply this way. The product itself is clear on skin, with no white cast whatsoever, or any shimmer/tint. It's thick but goes on suuuper smoothly an3d doesn't feel heavy or oily at all. It makes a great base for makeup, my foundation looks so much better when I put it on over this and lasts longer, too! It gives my skin that gorgeous velvety look and locks it in. It's my new must-have for summer!

Chapman's Super Frosty Chocolatey Dipped Neapolitan Treat

Love that there are 18 in the box for the price and that they're conveniently packaged, but they're not my (and my family's) favourite treats, unfortunately. First of all, they're very messy to eat because the top part that is dipped in chocolate is heavier than the rest and will fall off when unpackaged 9 times out of 10. Secondly, the taste just isn't there, the product is just too light and sort of watery. I also don't like that the chocolate flavour in the Neapolitan variety is only included as a topping. -

I got this for my mom as she has had issues with high cholesterol for a few years now (she's over 50). According to her and her doctor, it really works! She has seen improvement in her cholesterol levels and even a slight weight loss since she started taking them, and has repurchased the supplement so she can continue to improve.The capsules are easy to swallow (though apparently they can cause a slight stomach upset in the first week) and are based on mostly natural ingredients, which is great. Love that they're a Canadian brand as well! -

This is a great leave-in serum that makes hair ends look healthy and shiny. It has a thick, almost gel-like texture and is not oily or heavy at all, and the scent is fresh and rather strong and long-lasting. I apply this (liberally) to the ends of my damp hair after showering and then blow-dry. It helps "seal" and smooths frizzy and dry-looking hair without weighing it down or making it feel greasy and I'm left with glossy and hydrated locks. Love! -

Great product for those who have occasional and mild bouts of acid reflux. It's a clear gel that comes in individually packed doses that you're supposed to take 4 times per day for serious symptoms. In my case it was taken only when heartburn manifested, and it works well - it coats the esophagus and alleviates the burn relatively quickly. The taste is horrible though :( -

Love this mouthwash! It's mild and gentle to the gums, yet really works when it comes to freshening my breath and making my mouth feel clean. I love that it's not harsh and stinging like most other brands of mouthwash I've tried; there's barely any burning sensation. The freshness it leaves behind is tangible and long-lasting, and without the dreaded too-strong, chemical "mouthwashy" scent. It's a great product! -

These are ultra soft and super comfortable. I love that they're unscented as well (no skin irritation!). They (and their little wings) stick well to underwear and don't move around much, which is great for preventing stains, and the pads are thin and flexible enough to not show even in skin-tight pants and jeans. What I'm not crazy about is the absorption power - it's not the best, there's a feeling of wetness that lasts way longer that the other brand I use.

These do work. I'm over 30 but still get the occasional breakout (cheeks and forehead) and also have some bacne scars/dark spots that these patches are perfect for due to their generous size. I used 4 patches on one spot before I started seeing results; I leave the patch on overnight every other night (I skip a night in order to minimize irritation) and it sticks well and stays on. There's definitely some lightening of the dark spots with continued use! There are 16 patches in a batch which i find is a reasonable amount; I will repurchase and keep on using when I need them!
