I picked up the Cerave Canada Renewing SA Cream a while back when trying to find products to manage my KP!
This cream has a balm-like texture, as opposed to being thick, whipped like the regular Cerave moisturizer. I found it pretty effective with keeping the KP bumps at bay and skin hydrated! prefer using this cream as opposed to the body scrubs that offer more of a temporary solution.

I've tried a ridiculous number of different dry shampoos in my lifetime and for one reason or other, there was always something not quite right, but I think my search has ended and I have finally found the one!
This dry shampoo is perfect for dark hair. It doesn't leave this white residue that requires a lot of effort to blend into your scalp. It leaves your hair feeling light and fresh. Perfect for those busy #momlife days where didn't have time to wash your hair but have a work call over zoom and can't look a hot mess! (or you can, but I would prefer no one see that)
This dry shampoo is fragranced and you rather strong when applying it to your hair, but I was thoroughly surprised that the scent quickly dissipated and after 30 seconds, I couldn't really smell it! Perfect! Heavy fragrance is the reason why most dry shampoos are a no go for me!

I love that these balms make it feel like a smooth satiny layer has been applied to your lips. I love the unique fruits they used in these balms as opposed to the standard fruits most commonly used. They smell fruity, however, also do leave a sweet flavour on your lips. I generally prefer unflavored balms, but these are not anything overpowering or strong. These would be perfect for the chillier months -

This balm would be perfect to use prior to applying her matte lipsticks to keep your lips feeling hydrated and comfortable. In terms of value, these balms are pretty pricy, depending how frequently you reapply lip balms. I live in a super dry climate, so I go through balms pretty quick, making PMG's balm a bit spendy. I would definitely use this as a primer before applying her mattress lipsticks, but on the non-lipsticks days, I'd probably just stick to a drugstore balm. -

The constant washing and sanitizing of hands, definitely takes a toll on your skin and dries it out, so I love that this sanitizer contains hyaluronic acid.
This is the first time I have tried any products from Kalaya, but I love that their skincare products are natural as well as paraben and sulfate free.
I did a quick test of this sanitizer and appreciated that it wasn't fragranced. While it's nice sometimes for things to have a lovely scent, for a product where function is more important and additional alcohol is unnecessary!

I don't know about you, but I am lazy when it comes to drying hair! I have long and thick hair, so drying with a blow dryer is a time consuming task. Time consuming like you should grab a good book to read while blow drying long, so when I heard about these hair towels, I thought they were worth a try. Unlikely they would increase the time it took for my hair to dry!
These towels are supposed to shorten drying time, reduce frizz and breakage, and help extend the lasting power or hair color, if you dye your hair. And they are also great for all hair types!
I don't know if it really shortens the time it takes to dry my hair, but my hair is thick, heavy and long, so I didn't really expect a miracle towel that would reduce a 30 minute drying session down to less than 5 minutes. But I do really like using it to wring my hair out before blow drying because it is quite more effective at getting rid of that excess water than my bath towels and that does probably help reduce blow drying time.
I also really liked using this postpartum when I was suffering from hair loss. It was a gentle way to pat my hair dry without being so rough to cause unnecessary breakage or hair loss!

I love the Shu Uemura hard formula pencils but to maintain the sword shape is a hassle when you don't live near a counter if you can't do it yourself, so these refillable twist up brow swords are a really nice alternative. The only down side is that they do contain less product. You're definitely paying for convenience, which I am willing to pay for these days due to busy-ness and always being on the go. -

I will preface my review by saying my lashes to begin with aren't sparse or short and because I have dark hair, they're always visible, and like my hair, my lashes couldn't hold a curl to save its life 🤣
I didn't really notice this mascara add any volume to my lashes, but it did lengthen them a bit. The application was reasonable; The brush is densely packed and a sort of wavy shape. This mascara is fragranced, but it wasn't so heavily scented that it irritated my eyes or could smell it past application. The lasting power is decent and I liked that as it wore throughout the day, that it did not flake all over my face.

If you're looking for a healthy snack option, these collagen bars are perfect. I love that these bars are high in protein and fibre, no artificial flavoring, relatively low in sugar,gluten free, and provide a source of both calcium and iron.
There is a nice mix of toppings; however, the flavours from the toppings is subtle, likely because it is overpowered by the protein and lends itself to a healthy taste. It is slightly messy to eat, as it is sticky. But it is chewy as opposed to a crunchy and hard granola bar.
I can see myself keeping a couple bars tucked away in my desk at work as backup snacks for those moments I need a little mid-morning/afternoon boost, these bars likely would not be something I'd pick as an alternative if I wanted to treat myself.

The lavandin used in the line of Garnier Bio products is certified organic, fair trade, and comes from a renewable source. The formulation of these products are also vegan.
This moisturizer targets the signs of aging; smoothing out the appearance of wrinkles as well as firming skin. It is suitable for all skin types, incliding sensitive skin. It has more of a liquid consistency, medium heaviness and does require to be massaged into the skin. But once it has been applied, it leaves a thin layer of moisture on your skin without it feeling sticky. This moisturizer doesn't contain synthetic fragrance; however, it is heavily scented and reminds me of lavender with few other notes, which does eventually dissipate.
I can't wait to try this out over the next couple of day to see what this does for my ultra sensitive, easily eczema-triggered skin. I dont have any deep set wrinkles as of yet, but a couple fine lines are definitely starting to trickle in.
