Oh man, this stuff is so good, and even better that it has no sugar so I can drink it! It's not that sickly-sweet orange flavour like Crush has, and it's not so blah like the San Pellegrino kind, either. It's fruity and flavourful and is even delicious when it's lost it's carbonation. It's like a refined, fancy-adult drink for those that don't drink alcohol. Although I bet it would make a great mixer.
It costs $7.99 at Metro which I think is pretty steep. I'm going to keep my eyes peeled for coupons or sales to try and find it cheaper. I really don't think a case of flavoured water is worth that much.
Anyway, if you're looking for something different to try, give this a shot!

St. Ives® Skin Renewing Collagen Elastin Body Lotion
I like these lotions as they sink in pretty well, smell good and do a decent moisturizing job for a low price. It's even better when you can get them on sale! I scoop one up whenever I find a good deal on them. I really like the smell of this one... +
I like these lotions as they sink in pretty well, smell good and do a decent moisturizing job for a low price. It's even better when you can get them on sale! I scoop one up whenever I find a good deal on them. I really like the smell of this one and hope that with repeated use it will help my skin remain elastic enough to recover after my weight loss. -
NIVEA Creme Care Facial Cleansing Wipes
I didn't really like these very much. I felt the scent was far too strong, and it lingered! It also left me greasier than normal, which I assume is because of the moisture they're trying to shove in there. Even free from the club, I don't think... +
I didn't really like these very much. I felt the scent was far too strong, and it lingered! It also left me greasier than normal, which I assume is because of the moisture they're trying to shove in there.
Even free from the club, I don't think I'll be using these again.

It's a decent cleanser, not too rough on my skin and rinses off nicely. Has a strong Nivea scent in it, for sure.
The bottle claims that it will help take off your eye makeup and everything, but in my experience it did not. I think you'll still need to use a makeup remover on your face, or double cleanse to get it all off.

Got this from the review club.
I've been using face oils for years now, so I was interested to see this mainstream one enter the market. The packaging threw me off a little since there was no pump to keep the oils sanitary, or to moderate the amount dispensed. I would have preferred a pump.
Using the product was as expected. I thought the scent was nice, and it went on smoothly. I used a little too much because of the way it was dispensed. It also took a little longer to absorb into my skin vs. the Pure + Simple oil I normally use.
In the morning, my skin was hydrated and soft, and my acne was not (yet) irritated. I do hesitate to use this product a little due to the long ingredients list. I find simple things with no preservatives tend to be better, especially for my sensitive skin.
Overall I thought this was a decent product that I will continue to use up.

It was easy to apply and wash off, and the scent wasn't overbearing. Just rub a little oil on your face, add water to create a lather and go for it. In testing it did a decent job of basic makeup removal, except for the eye area. You'll still need a makeup remover for that part. I was too scared to put this stuff close to my eyes.
My face felt nice after cleansing and not tight at all. I would consider purchasing this in the future.

Another nice convenience produce here. I got them from the review club. I couldn't find anything that I would want to adjust the length of, but I'm keeping a few on hand for when one of my hems inevitably falls! Nothing worse than being out and about and your pants hem comes undone. If you're not quick to fix it, it can tear and get filthy really quick. Now that pants season is here I'll use these to fix the problem at the office until I can get home and either use the permanent hem ones or sew it myself! -
Scotch Essentials Easy Fix Button

My boyfriend loses his buttons all. the. time. He is often able to find them, but then loses them on the way home, too. I sent this with him to keep at his desk (I don't wear buttoned shirts) and he was able to replace the next button he popped easily. This is a temporary solution, but it held until I had the time to sew it back on properly. Just stick your own button or one of the replacements on the head and pop it in! If he can do it, I think anyone can. -
Scotch Essentials Permanent Hem Bonding Strips
I like the convenience of these strips, sometimes I just don't feel like getting out the sewing machine to do a proper hem. I still think sewing is the better way, but since most people don't know how to do that anymore, these are a great option... +
I like the convenience of these strips, sometimes I just don't feel like getting out the sewing machine to do a proper hem. I still think sewing is the better way, but since most people don't know how to do that anymore, these are a great option. Very sticky! Still waiting to see how they perform after several washes. -

This is a pretty fancy-looking product. It went on really nicely, smooth and gentle and soaked in well, too. I used it in combination with the night serum that was sent to me.
I enjoyed using this product but didn't really notice any difference to my skin over the 2 weeks. Just basic hydration. The smell was nice at first but gets annoying after a while.
I wouldn't buy this again because it didn't rock my world and the price is very high. I get better results from using face oils.
