I’m a big fan of this wonderful Tetley Super Herbal Multivitamin Chamomile & Tumeric tea both served hot or cold!! It’s very flavourful and I enjoy the added nutritional benefits of B vitamins, particularly since finding out that I’m lacking enough in my system. If you’re a tea connoisseur like me, highly recommend trying this fabulous blend. -

Trader Joe's Grapefruit & Lemon Hand Sanitizing Spray is my ATF product to keep in my handbag, in my car, on the nightstand & pretty much everywhere during COVID19.
Sadly, I must ration my supplies, as we don't have Trader Joe's in Canada... and since borders are closed, I can't get any more from the USA right now.
This has a really fresh citrusy scent that is unlike many other similar products. The sanitizing spray dispenses the perfect amount in 2 or 3 spritzes, which doesn't leave my hands feeling dry afterwards. The active ingredient is 74% Ethyl Alcohol with added aloe vera and Vitamin E.
If you're lucky enough to find it right now, stock up!!

Woolzies 💯 Natural Rose Linen & Pillow Spray is 😍 is like having a summer rose garden in my bedroom. I'm big into #aromatherapy especially at bedtime... I need a soothing scent to transport me into dreamland 😴
Although #lavender is my usual go-to... I thought why not try #rose for a change?! Woolzies 🌹 smell is lightly floral, feminine × not overpowering or artificial like others I've tried. Best of all ➡️ clean beauty!!

I was excited to try Neutrogena Rapid Wrinkle Repair Cream, as I'm noticing a bit more fine lines than I'd like.The full sized jar has lasted me a month of twice daily application (AM/PM), with about half remaining.
The good. I enjoy the fresh floral scent and overall luxurious, thick texture of this regenerating cream, which leaves my dry skin feeling very hydrated. It absorbs well, although I find more than a pea sized dollop is needed for full coverage of my face and neck.
The strange. While I haven't experienced any redness or tingling sensations, my skin has definitely flaked from the get go. This is a first for me - I have never experienced a similar reaction with skincare products before. However, it's listed as a known effect on the container and didn't concern me too much.
The results. Unfortunately, there isn't any diminished appearance in my fine lines, or a rapid reduction in wrinkles seen in just 1 week, as promoted to consumers, from Neutrogena's accelerated Retinol SA formula (Hyaluronic Acid, Retinol SA & Glucose Complex). My pigmentation, skintone and texture remain unchanged.
It's a disappointment to share my poor results after a full month's usage, even with very modest expectations. There simply aren't any significant changes in my skin from a regenerating product which claims to clinically "improve the look of aging up to 5X more than a leading prestige anti-aging serum."
Wait, what?! You can't compare a cream to a serum. They're quite different from one another, even if the ingredients are similar. Plus, Neutrogena actually has a Rapid Repair Serum.
In all fairness to Neutrogena, their website specifically recommends following a 3-step application process: twice daily after cleansing face and neck, apply Rapid Wrinkle Repair Serum and Rapid Wrinkle Repair Eye Cream, followed by Rapid Wrinkle Repair Cream. Furthermore, there's also a Rapid Wrinkle Repair Night Moisturizer.
The verdict. If Neutrogena truly wanted consumers to test the efficacy of their Rapid Wrinkle Repair Cream, they might have included additional products from the Rapid Repair line to help assess an accurate impact of the accelerated Retinol SA formula. As a product tester, it's unusual to be given only one for review, when recommended usage is part of a multitiered application of related products.
Sorry, Neutrogena... I'm not a fan of your Rapid Wrinkle Repair Cream. It failed to deliver as promised.

At first glance, this almost seems like a too large container of petroleum jelly. Nope!! It's a miracle for cuticles (I rub onto my nails before bed, then add lotion on top) and calluses on your feet from running, sandals and just... life. It also help lashes grow if you apply a very thin layer just before going to sleep. Cheap way to thicken your lashes with minimum effort & expense. Hmm, what else? I've tried it on my lips, but wasn't happy with the outcome - didn't seem to fix my chapped lips. Otherwise, it's a wonderful multi-use product that's cheap and will last way too long. -

After trying almost every homeopathic recipe for chapped lips (i.e. rosehip oil, drinking a plethora of water, etc) and your usual drugstore products, I decided to treat myself to Lise Watier Hydraforce Lip Balm - best decision ever. Within 4 days, my badly chapped lips were supple & soft again. My bedside table will always have a tube ready to apply before bed. I wasn't crazy about the price at first, but the tube has literally lasted me months - great value for a great product. Highly recommend. Unflavoured/unscented. -

I found this by accident while browsing for a Korres eye cream. Bought a bottle to try, went back the next day and purchased two more immediately (I'm a bit of a hoarder for products that have such a 'wow' factor). I apply this serum both in the AM & PM as the first step in my moisturizing regime. Korres Wild Rose Serum for Eyes & Face absorbs quickly and provides incredible hydration. One of my ATF products, will definitely keep this as a staple in my skincare kit. -

My brother surprised me with this wonderful GlamGlow cleanser, knowing I've been searching for something less abrasive than a previous one... yet strong enough to remove waterproof eyeliner & mascara. This is it!! The product lathers up right away, so just a tiny dab is sufficient to start your cleansing routine. I haven't noticed any discernible smell (i.e. not fruity or powerful fragrance). Rinses off easily with cool water. -

I'm a huge fan of Marc Jacobs Beauty, and particularly the lip gloss collections. BOOM is from the Enamored collection... it's a beautiful wine colour that can easily be layered over lip liner for a full, rich shiny deep red or if you're bold, over top of lipstick for the double darkness effect. It's not sticky, goes on smoothly and is rather hydrating. -

I've used other Lise Watier beauty products in the past, with most being two thumbs up. Unfortunately, these colours just aren't... me. Too frosted, and the texture leaves nothing to be desired. That said, the packing is lovely and the palette came with two different applicators, plus instructions for creating assorted looks. -
