I'm just running out of this one. It is totally unscented, and doesn't make you smell fragranced throughout the day. I put it on at night before bed, as I've heard this is when antiperspirant is most effective. I've found this one is 100% effective in giving dryness. All of July (with some super hot days) I had no problems with clothes getting perspired on at all. I did have more of an issue with odour protection, so due to that I noticed a lot of days where I was spritzing myself with perfume or body spray. It did leave a little white residue on some clothes. -
Magnum Double Raspberry Ice Cream Bars

Loooove these. OK, so you know those cheapo ice cream sticks dipped in chocolate that falls off when you bite it? Hate those. These are nothing like those. This is a really tactile-y pleasing ice cream treat. I like to pick apart foods and eat different sections at a time, so this is just fun to eat with all the layers. I like how intense the raspberry flavouring is, very rich. And it's a much better quality chocolate than those cheapo bars. These are a touch pricier than others, so it's more of a rare occasion pick. My only real complaint is that there's only 3 bars per pack... that's totally not enough to share with the family or significant other. So hide the other 2 in the back of the freezer. -

I've been using this a lot in the last month, and may have only a few weeks left in the bottle so I really have appreciated getting to try this out for free from ChickAdvisor and Vichy, #gotitfree. It's a thicker formula than their Ideal Ultra-Light Lotion spf 50, so it isn't runny but sticks more to where you want to apply it. It takes more rubbing to get it absorbed until all the white marks disappear. It's been easy to apply to my whole body, from the tops of my feet to the back of the neck. I've found it's easiest to apply after I've first applied my regular fun-scented non-spf body lotion. This Vichy Spf 60 is completely scentless and I think it would be good for anyone with skin sensitivities. I would recommend to also get the Ultra-Light version to use on the face b/c that one is matte and fully absorbs. Although this spf 60 is for face and body, I like it more just for the body (and only for the face if I'm on the beach and in the water) b/c this one has more of a noticeable protective barrier and leaves skin looking more hydrated but with a touch of a healthy shine. I like that I can feel it still on my body throughout the day making my skin feel hydrated and soft, but also still protected from the sun. I've been enjoying the summer outdoors a lot this last month and haven't had any sunburns, dryness, redness, or skin irritation from sun exposure so I know this broad spectrum spf protection is working. It is a pricier version of sunblock than the more basic brands, but this one would be worth it especially for people who have sensitive skin. -

I've been using this daily for a month now and have been really happy with the coverage and protectiveness from the sun. I've been using it specifically just on my face and neck before I apply makeup. I like that for this area it is a more runny liquid formula so it spreads really quickly and absorbs into the skin fast so I can get my makeup on and not have any white marks to deal with. B/c it's a runny formula they've designed the bottle with a special tip so that it controls the level that it comes out; it comes out more controlled so you never squeeze out too much, and it can't spill out accidentally. The bottle also comes with a ball inside so that when you shake it it mixes up inside like a spray can would. I've been outdoors so much this summer doing a lot of biking and I really need a good quality spf like this one to prevent damage to my face, luckily I haven't seen any new freckles pop up this month. I'm totally confident in the spectrum coverage this provides. It's also scentless and I would recommend it to people with skin sensitivities b/c it is lightweight and hasn't clogged up my skin in any way, I don't notice it's even there throughout the day b/c it is light (but also effective). The only one downside in my opinion is the cost per volume. It's about $26 per 40 ml and when you get it out of the box and look at the amount in the container it doesn't look like much. But since it's more of just a facial spf it doesn't use huge amounts daily (like you would use on the whole body), so it does last longer than expected. I think I have enough to last another 2-3 months. Thanks to ChickAdvisor and Vichy for letting my test this one out, #gotitfree -
Vichy Idéal Soleil Double Usage After-Sun Care

OK, so you know when you watch a late night talk show and the female guest is in the chair wearing a dress and her sky-high legs are SHINY smooth as they're crossed? This does that. It's a pump and a light oil that you rub on and it makes everything shiny and smooth. It looks and feels hydrating, so much so that it can be a replacement for any body lotion. I actually researched a tad and read that this product is made of rapeseed oil that protects the skin from environmental hazards, prevents wrinkles, and reduces redness and skin sensitivity so there is some science here to back up the claims. It's a super light "oil" and doesn't feel greasy. When it's first applied it is the most shiny, but this does dissipate and is not noticeable after wearing it for 20 minutes especially if you've been sitting down, wrapped in a throw, or have been brushing against things (It doesn't come off or damage things you touch). What I love a lot about it, as usual, is the scent. It's very unique and lovely. Like a chic spa dessert... it smells fresh, beachy, edible, and like a vacation. It's super easy to get in the routine of using it after I've been in the sun, and I've also been using it before going out b/c it's so quick to apply and it makes me look smooth and enviably tan. It does make my olive skin look a lot better. It makes my tan look hydrated and healthy and youthful. So happy with the results of this and being able to try it free from ChickAdvisor, #gotitfree, thanks Vichy -

I'm into this one. It has a good powerful burst of spray that goes right where you want it. It sprays on a clear liquid that dries instantly. If you spray your hand and touch the liquid you can feel a microscopic soft grit to it. What I like the most of this Beauty Finish was the scent. It's a fresh clean smell that instantly brings me back to something in my childhood, I just can't remember what it is, but it's a very pleasing smell. I've found the antiperspirant to be effective, and the deodorant to be Ok (some days I use it both at night and morning). It's a good formula that will keep white marks away, and it doesn't feel cold when you use it. -

While I wouldn't normally buy this, I was given it by a friend and have used it a lot. I have a natural tan that deepens really quickly in the sun so I don't need the extra help of a tanning oil like this. But I've been using it in the mornings in place of/or in addition to my body lotion routine. I like that it's a light oil that isn't greasy but easily rubs on and absorbs into the skin leaving it really soft and smooth and hydrated. I also love love love the summery scent; like other Hawaiian Tropic products it has a pina colada vibe. I've actually been using it a lot and have nothing bad to say about it... only someone like me would use this in conjunction with spf products. -

The only flip flops you'll ever need! If flip flops usually hurt your feet, buy these! Exclamation points! Ok so these are seriously the Queen of all flip flops ever. The key is that the thong part is made of this soft rubberized/textured fabric and not plastic, so they're very soft to the touch. Go in the store and feel what I mean. B/c it's not plastic they NEVER blister your feet. Not in the heat, not when your feet sweat, not even after you dunk 'em in the water and walk around. I've recommended these to so many people who all say "how do you wear flip-flops, don't they hurt your feet?". I buy a new pair every summer, preferably the black ones. They come in other colours (blue, beige, white, pink) but black sells out first. A good time to get them is in the middle of winter when they're fully stocked. It's worth the price ($5, used to be $4) and you can literally wear them every day of the summer. -

These are perfect for me when I'm in a store with too many choices and can't decide. This bag comes with a bit of everything; pretzels, sweet sun chips, cheezies, and cheese nachos. I like to pick apart my food so I like that each handful/grab in the bag has a bit of variety. So I can eat them in order of preference. My fave are the cheesy nachos. These are also great for pouring out in a bowl at parties b/c there's variety for different people, and it's a party in a bag. -

I'd say that Snickers are a lot like Mars, but with peanuts. I do prefer this white vanilla nougat to the marshmallow nougat that Mars has. It's a great fast snack/energy boost to pick up at the checkout or in a vending machine. And b/c it has peanuts it is a tad healthier than some plain chocolate/candy bars. The caramel in it is perfect and soft, and it gives a small hit of good chocolate with it. -
