Most versatile body wash out there. This was my second favourite Dove Foam that I got to try through the ChickAdvisor Product Review Club. I'm always drawn to food type smells like fruit or dessert, and this one has the yummy dessert smell. It's a nutty vanilla that gives me the warm and cozy vibes.
Having a body wash as a foam is a simple yet brilliant idea b/c it really simplifies everything. It works well in the bath, in the shower and even just to freshen up. We've all heard of a "mom bath", and this is perfect for that too where you just wet a washcloth and foam it and you're clean quicker than ever before. It's really streamlined that the second the product is out of the pump it's already in lather form so there's no need for puffs or rubbing it around. I liked that the foam doesn't "melt" either, it stays in place and reminds me of latte foam. It left my skin clean, soft, and smelling nice and didn't dry out my skin after either. I would recommend this one for vanilla/hazelnut scent lovers. #Gotitfree

Great new innovation, but this one's not a fragrance for me. I got to try this new foam line of 3 different scents through the ChickAdvisor Product Review Club and of the three this was my least favourtie. It's still an amazing product, but you know how people are picky with scents. This Cucumber & Green Tea scent is more cucumber than green tea and is a very vibrant garden-fresh scent. For me it reminded me of a specific body spray from the 90s (Turquoise Seas), which I don't like. But it is a very "cool" refreshing scent that would be great in the summer for other people.
I really love the foam aspect. Very few pumps are needed to cleanse the whole body as the foam distributes more than you'd think. And there's 250 pumps per bottle so it's going to last a long time. I use it straight out of the pump and onto the skin in the shower/bath and it's truly the fastest way to get clean and smelling nice again. It saves time (don't need washcloth, puff, or to pick up the bottle off the side of tub) and the foam stays in place when I use it to shave my legs. And the sudsy formula doesn't leave my skin with that "tight" soap feeling. (so love the product and recommend to others , but I prefer the other 2 scents) #Gotitfree

I have my first Mediterranee yogurt in my fridge right now, the More Blackberry flavour. It really is delish, and more yummy than basic/regular yogurts. First it's noticeably thicker than most which gives it more texture, and it isn't runny at all, it can kind of keep its shape on the spoon. The flavour is also nice, this flavour being a universal berry taste. But there's something else in there that would be in all the Mediterranee flavours, there's a bit of zing. It's like at the mall when you order a frozen yogurt and there's this unique-yummy "zing" taste that only good frozen yogurt has... well there's some of that in here. -

This is another mixed review. It works, I like it, but I don't love it. I found it to be a high quality conditioner and even felt like I could use it as a deep conditioner by leaving it in for a minute or two before washing it out. It detangled my hair and smoothed it out after shampooing, but it didn't cause any noticeable difference to my hair after blow drying (I've only had a couple conditioners do this). The scent was really unique, I had to keep smelling it to try to put my finger on it but never really figured it out. It kind of smells like a talc-based perfumed powder. I was surprised that the scent didn't match it's sister shampoo which is very fruity. It conditions well, but is pricier than most. -

I liked it, but didn't love it. Of course I'm always driven by the scent and this is where it excelled. It definitely smells like fresh squeezed tropical fruit juice, a nice pineapple scent. It's really so yummy smelling that I keep going back to smelling the product when it's in my hand. And I can't say this particular scent is in any other shampoo out there. I wasn't blown away by the lather ability. Even when rubbing it in my palms first it never really wanted to bubble up. But putting more product in my scalp and messing it around did clean my hair. So it's a good product, but for it being pricier I wasn't made a follower. (So that's why I have a confusing rating here with high scores but not recommending it... like it's good, smells good, cleans, but it's pricey and doesn't bubble how I'd expect it to) -
Glade Candle 2 in 1

These Glade candles are always pretty good, right now I've been using the scent of raspberries/fresh berries 2 in 1. I've always liked the quality of the Glade candles, so I love that they make this line of 2 scents in one candle for more variety. It does scent the whole room it's lit in... usually making me hungry. This flavour smells like fruit juice and candy. And it does last a long time; I think I've lit this candle on at least 5 different days and it still has 1/3 of it left to go. A plus about getting the Glade ones over cheaper glass jar candles is that I've never had a Glade jar crack from the heat (these are a thicker glass). I hate when cheaper jars do this after being lit a while b/c it's a loud crack that comes outta nowhere. -
Rimmel London BB Cream
I do like this now that I've got BB creams into my rotation. I love that it has 9 features in one product so that I don't have to put so many types of products on before my makeup. This is the first BB I've thoroughly tried, and I'm surprised how... +
I do like this now that I've got BB creams into my rotation. I love that it has 9 features in one product so that I don't have to put so many types of products on before my makeup. This is the first BB I've thoroughly tried, and I'm surprised how sheer it is. I know it's not a foundation, but it completely blends in to my face. I can see (especially when trying some on the back of the hand) that it has a bit of illumination to it, that it reflects light. I love that it has primer in it especially so for me it's like a super-primer with a lot of other features. It doesn't look dry or oily, but it does give a slight amount of concealing. Don't think that it's an all-in-one coverage product though, it didn't mask any blemishes for me and you still have to use liquid and powder foundation as well as this. -

Ok, so tried these out this fall for the first time and it was a disaster. I filled two of the large Space Bags with my "summer wardrobe' and stored them in the basement. The bags held a lot of clothes each, and it was easy to use the vacuum hose to suck out all the air. I'd say each bag was about 15-20 pounds, which was a good amount to get out of the closet when I'm not wearing them. I thought this was perfect to store fabric in the basement and not risk them getting a musty smell. My problem was 2 weeks later when I walked past and saw one of the bags sitting there un-sealed. So I dragged the vacuum downstairs and re-sealed it. Weeks later I go down and they're both un-sealed. After a lot of cussing with the vacuum... I could hear a hissing noise. There was a tiny hole in the plastic! So I got out the packing tape and fixed it. But the other bag had hisses and holes everywhere. On close inspection this bag appears to have been sabotaged by that cat that lives in my house. So now the bags are standing upstairs in the corner of the spare room... with no hope of ever being re-sealed b/c there's just too many holes. My problem isn't just that I have a cat though. In all the carrying of the sealed and un-sealed bags up and down my stairs I could feel my fingers and thumbs (not nails) going into the plastic and making rips. So for my use, the plastic is just not thick/durable enough, and I didn't get to use them for even a month. -

Just tried this last night and loved it, going back to get some more this week. I got the 500ml can of Bacardi Breezer + Cider in the Mixed Berry flavour. It was bubbly and refreshing. It's sweet, but not sickeningly sweet. I loved the light blend of apple and berry and the flavour/taste stuck around till the end of the can. The best part is that it's on sale right now at the LC for $2.45 so it's a really good deal. They had two flavours, so I'm also going to go back and try the other one. I would say in comparison to the traditional Bacardi Breezers, this version is lighter and not as sugary. -
Garner Fructis Grow Strong Fortifying Shampoo

This is really very nice. I'm in love with the scent, a strong fruit punch... yummy and fruity. The product was a white cream that wasn't runny. Lathered well with bubbles. It is a good shampoo, but not vouching for its ability to make your hair stronger (I have a hard time noticing if shampoos do anything besides clean). I would say it's very similar to Herbal Essences in being a quality shampoo with a good scent, but really this scent blew me away. Every time I put more in my hand I want to smell it first. No problems, would buy again. -
