This is one of my faves, especially now that the summer's starting. This might be my fave pink wine. I can really taste the fruity notes of watermelon, cherry and raspberry. And it's not sickeningly sweet like a lot of the Girls Night Out style of fruity wines. This is a more grown up one that would pair well with food b/c it isn't very sweet. But it's also not too dry, I don't like dry wines. This one has a great low price. -
Simple Kind To Skin Eye Makeup Remover Pads

I got a sample of these to try out from the cosmetics counter and they're good for what they are. It's great that it's the remover and towelette in one so you don't need to be in the bathroom to remove your makeup. They were effective at taking off my whole face and eyes. And they were scentless and gentle. The thing I don't like about these, and it seems to be the same experience for me with all of these wipes types, is that I want them to have more product in them. I felt that by the time I've gotten around my whole face the tissue had pretty much dried out, and the longer the main package is opened the more they tend to dry out. But they're more convenient than wash-off cleansers. -

I love these as this is the style I wear during the day. I have for the most part switched to the most environmental form of these products, but would totally fall back on these if I was given them or saw them on sale or was on a crazy vacation somewhere and couldn't wash my clothes. They really save the life of my garments and are the easiest things to take on and off at the end of the day. These worked well on all the skimpy styles I have, even the bittiest. -
Pond's Dry Skin Cream

I've used this one out of my mom's collection and it was nice. I was using it at night before bed so the thick creamy formula worked well for that. I can get dry and irritated hands so easily so I'm always looking for good lotions for that. The smell was nice; very light and one of the "clean' "fresh" cosmetic scents. While the product worked well at trying to fix my damaged skin on my hands, I didn't like the container packaging as much. Especially since I obviously shared it with my mother, the jar pots just aren't as good at preventing possible bacterial growth. While I might knick it from my mum, I don't think I'll buy my own b/c of the higher price. -
Tetley Signature Collection Mint to Be Peppermint, Spearmint, & Apple Mint Herbal Tea

The most important tea for me in my stash is peppermint tea. I drink it for medicinal purposes: it's good for digestive problems and works more effectively than pepto-bismal type products. How amazing is that? So if you need to calm down you're system, drink a cup of this and be amazed. I've gotten used to the flavour and now see it as a comforting taste, I do artificially sweeten it to make it better. I would say this Tetley versions is very comparable to other brands, but it's also at a great price point anyway. -
O.B. Tampons

I'm not a big fan of these but I end up with a supply of them through promotions and re-try them every now and then. The big good thing about these that others don't have is their super tiny size that hide in any sized bag or pocket for an emergency. But the downside is that I hate not having an applicator, especially in a public washroom where I'd have to be careful not to touch anything after washing my hands and before using these. They do the job, and are better for the environment b/c they lack the plastic. -
Venus Swirl Razor

I got this but never got any of the additional refills b/c I just didn't like it in the long run. 2 things I didn't like were that the rollerball didn't move horizontally but just left and right so it didn't give me a lot of added flexibility. And the metal ball squeaked loudly everytime it turned. The other thing I didn't like was that the razor base was really wide with additional plastic around the edges so I couldn't get a precise contoured shave. And I felt there wasn't enough pressure and instead of using the handle I would press down on the blade compartment itself as I shaved. -
Red Rose Canadian Breakfast Tea Bags

This is not my favourite type of tea by any means but I always have to have some in the house. I have an aunt in the States who is originally from England and she can't get this brand (her fave) down there, so I'm always stocking up with her in mind. I love that this one is Canadian Breakfast too b/c it's a blend of our 2 countries then. It is a stronger bitter tea than I prefer (herbals are my thing), and I don't drink it too often b/c it is caffeinated. I love that it comes in a box with a lot of bags so I'm never running out. -
Simple Kind To Skin Soothing Facial Toner

I will admit that I always forget the purpose for using toners, but I have a few in my cupboard. This one compares with the others I have tried in that it's a very liquidy water-like product that I rub on my face in the morning first off. I think you use toner to even out pH balance? I don't know why, or how you could tell if that's working. I can't really tell that they do anything, but I like how this one is marketed as a soothing product and it is gentle feeling. I've been applying it just straight onto my fingertips and face instead of using a cotton ball b/c that's a trick I heard to do on Cityline. So that kind of application is easy and it gets a lot of the toner onto my face. -

This is a nice invigorating scent, very tropical citrusy. I don't like it as much as the pomegranate version, but I like it a lot better than the clean scented and un-fruity ones. It's a good quality Dove soap in that it lathers and bubbles and cleans without drying out the skin afterwards. I love getting the different fruit scented ones and alternating them every time one runs out to keep things fun. -
