My little one is almost 2 with all of her baby teeth and we were looking for a way to get her interested in brushing her teeth. With the typical manual toothbrush she usually just bites the bristles off the brush. She loves this battery powered brush and lets us brush her teeth with it as long as she gets to use it afterwards to try and brush herself. It’s a strong vibration but not overpowering. I also like that it has a button to turn it on and a button to turn it off. This is a great teaching tool to teach my daughter about on and off. I’ve seen a difference in her teeth since we started using this brush. The brush handle is perfect for little hands and very easy for my daughter to use. The brush head is also perfect for tiny mouths and the bristles are very soft. The battery is also fantastic. The first day we gave it to my daughter she had it going for a good 15 minutes and I thought for sure she was going to ruin the battery. Luckily she didn’t and the battery is just as high powered as when we got it. -

We’ve been using these as a family. They’re perfect in the bath or when we soak our feet after a long day. Both my son and husband live these salts as well. When they used them they found their feet were much smoother and exfoliated. I’m in love with the smell and after using these salts I felt more calm, relaxed and my feet felt great. Plus black elderberry is supposed to make your skin feel rejuvenated so this is an added bonus. Will definitely purchase again once mine runs out. -

The moment I opened this bottle I was nearly knocked over by the delicious scent. I love the scent! When using for my bath I didn’t use too much product and still had lots of bubbles that lasted quite some time. So this item has great value for the money. My bath was so refreshing and calming from using this product. Black Elderberry is supposed to be very good for you and have
anti-inflammatory effects. It’s also great at making your skin feel rejuvenated and healthier. Because this product contains Epsom salts I also found that it helped with my sore knee. The one issue I had with this product is that there is no safety seal on the opening. However that isn’t enough to make me not purchase it again. I will definitely purchase when my bottle is done.

When we received the Minnie Mouse Marshmallow Flip-Open 2 in 1 Sofa and Lounger my daughter was immediately intrigued. It was so neat how it shipped compressed and then fills out after you pop open the bag. My daughter is 18 months and just adores this 2-in 1 Sofa and Chair. I can see her using this for years to come. She seems to enjoy having her own little chair. She loves snuggling into the chair to sit and relax while she has a snack, watches TV or we read her a story and loves snuggling into it as a comfy sofa. It’s so cute she likes to grab a blanket and snuggle into the couch/chair. I tried laying on it as well and it really is super comfy, you melt into it and when you get out it pops right back into shape. Somewhat like memory foam. I also like how the slip cover material is very soft. The first day we got it when she got home from daycare the first thing she wanted to do was sit on her sofa and the novelty doesn’t wear off. We got it in the Minnie Mouse character and there are also so many other fun characters to choose from. Since she loves eating on it I really like that the slip cover can be zippered off and washed in the washing machine. When it comes to things for toddlers machine washable is always the best! It’s also super light weight so you can move it from room to room or place to place. The only concern I do have is I have to prop it up against a wall or our couch because she loves to jump and roll on it so if its not propped up against something she goes flying backwards. Once she’s older this won’t be an issue though. My 6 year old son loves it too and wishes it was big enough for him too. It’s so easy to convert from sofa to chair and my daughter has even figured out how to do it herself. Plus it’s holding up wonderfully considering both my daughter and son love jumping and tumbling on it. Lastly I think it’s great that they’ve thought to include graphics in all areas of the chair, for instance their is even a Minnie Mouse graphic on the side of the chair. -

I tried the Super Stay Vinyl Ink Liquid Lipcolor in the colour Lippy (it comes in 10 shades) The very first thing I noticed about this lip colour was the scent. I absolutely love the smell of it, as odd as that might sound. In some way it reminded me of coffee. Don’t ask me why. The second thing I noticed was how easy it was to apply and there was deep colour on my lips upon the first coat. Additional coats weren’t needed. This lip colour boasts 16 hour wear and let me tell you it delivers this promise and more, in a way it delivers this to a fault, I’ll talk about that later. I did find that upon application it did bleed a bit and I also found that the brush was a tiny bit difficult to use, mainly because with the colour bleeding I was trying to be careful how I applied it. I really liked the tube it comes in, it’s quite heavy so it makes you feel like it’s a quality product and it is. I did find that it smudged a bit at first but once it dried I didn’t have this issue. Now onto the 16 hour wear, as mentioned it definitely lasts more than 16 hours. In fact I had difficulty washing it off, at one point after trying to wash it off I touched my forehead and some of this lip colour transferred there and it was even harder trying to scrape it off my forehead. That is my reason for giving it 4 stars it’s just so hard to wash off. Which I guess for some of you this could be a bonus. I will try this product again but most likely not in the same colour. Its a beautiful colour just not my type of lip colour. Then again it’s sometimes good to step out of your comfort bubble. -

Finding a nail polish that is easy to apply and is high quality isn’t always easy. Thankfully this fabulous nail polish from Essie is high quality and fantastic! Let’s start off with the application, the angled brush makes it so easy to apply even with my non dominant hand. I also found the brush seemed larger so it covered more of my nail so I didn’t need as many strokes per nail. Making the time to paint quicker. Speaking of quick I found this nail polish dried it record time! I’ve tried other nail polishes that take forever to dry and this is one of my pet peeves because I don’t have any patience for this and with other polishes it gets wrecked before it’s dried. So the super drying speed of this polish has me hooked. The quality is also superior because I’ve been wearing this polish for at least a week now and it isn’t chipping and looks just as good as the day I painted it on. It’s also a vegan formula and free of 8 common chemicals found in other nail polishes. Now this could just be me but I also found it didn’t have an overwhelming scent to it. Usually when I paint my nails my husband opens every window in the house and complains for days about the smell. However he didn’t do that with this polish he didn’t know my nails were painted before seeing them as he sometimes does with other polishes all because of the smell. Overall I’m extremely happy with this polish and will be purchasing in other colours. Essie is now my go to polish. Oh and i forgot to mention the colour is awesome with just the right amount of shine. -

I was incredibly impressed with this liner, it goes on smoothly and looks great! You could wear this by itself or as the adhesive for your lashes. It’s so easy to use just like the lashes. It’s a liner and lash adhesive so it’s a 2-in-1 product, everyone loves a product with 2 uses. The price is also extremely reasonable for the products your getting. I love how you can easily use this liner as adhesive for your lashes. This means there’s no gluey mess and no magnets needed. It’s so easy. Plus it’s a waterproof formula so it’s long lasting. -

I can’t count the amount of times I’ve seen ads for magnetic lashes on Instagram and bought them somehow thinking these would be the ones I’d love. Sadly that was never the case and I have a collection of magnetic lashes sitting in my cupboards that I couldn’t figure out or were just too hard to use. Let’s not even get started with the eye lashes that you apply with glue. I don’t even touch those! Fast forward to today and I had the opportunity to try these NYX Jumbo Lash Vegan False Lashes in Fringe Glam. I immediately fell in love with these lashes. First of all the eye liner used to hold them in place goes on smoothly and looks awesome. It’s also very easy to apply. Speaking of easy, secondly the lashes were extremely easy to apply as well. I was able to apply these lashes in a matter of seconds and I’m not the greatest at things like that. I didn’t need to cut them to fit my eye and they stuck to the eyeliner beautifully. I wore them all day and even forgot I had them on. That’s how comfortable they are. Plus they look so natural and I didn’t have to blend my own lashes with them, it all worked magically. I was so thrilled with these. Removing them was also as simple as gently pulling them off. They’re reusable up to 15 times, lightweight and vegan. These are literally the best false lashes I’ve ever tried. As I mentioned I tried the fringe glam lashes and believe they also come in 3 other styles. They’re also good for 12hr wear, are lightweight and incredible. -

This product is meant to help reduce fine lines and wrinkles and with continued use it does do as promised. It’s easy to use and a little goes a long way so it’s a great value for your money. Where this product goes wrong for me is the bland scent that lingers hours afterwards and the way it made my skin feel. This is part of a 4 product skincare line and I like how they have all 4 products for your skincare routine and that the products are very natural. That being said it made my skin feel very tight and wet. It didn’t sink in very well. Although I will say that it goes on easy I could just still feel it on my face long after I applied it. This product might work wonders for you because it does work it’s just that I couldn’t get past the scent and feeling of my skin. -
