I have notoriously bad dark circles. When I discovered highlighter it was almost miraculous difference. The thing is it was another step. Because highlighter alone (the ones I’ve tried) couldn’t give me the coverage and highlight. So I was doing two steps. This covers and highlights and I love the packaging. Easy to keep in my purse if I’m going out. -

I only used it once a day before bed and it did feel wonderful. I feel like it was very good for my skin. I am not able to say definitively that wrinkles were removed since this product review timeline was quite short. I do however really like the product. It’s simple to use and I feel like it’s working. I would buy this product.
I did get the mild redness that they mention on the bottle, but it disappeared quickly and wasn’t substantial.

I’ve been looking for a exfoliating cleanser for quite some time. I spent upwards of $50 on a “polishing” cleanser. I even bought a facial polish that’s supposed to be excellent for exfoliating but this prep cleanser is by far the best that I’ve tried.
It has a nice light texture with some exfoliating elements (not sure what they are). The exfoliation is light enough that you can use this everyday!
I was supplied this for my review, but I found it on well.ca for $12!! Uh hells yeah I'm gonna buy that again. And I’ll pass on that expensive Arbonne one. 😂

The ingredients on this are SUPER impressive. ALL real food! There is palm oil in there, which does have some controversy attached to it, but is a vegetable oil. Everything else in the ingredients you can buy at the store. I consider this a healthy addition to add to my cooking.
I did find the taste a little on the salty spectrum, but I just modified the serving and it worked out wonderfully. This is why I preferred this powder format to the cubes, it was easier to modify how much I wanted to add. When cooking rice or pasta I added this to my water and found every meal I added them too was just exceptionally better.
I had several meals that are in my usual rotation that I added this to and they were noticeable more flavorful. Some of which were a brown rice cilantro dish, and a Bolognese. Everyone agreed that adding the vegetable bouillon powder made our meals a little more gourmet.
I'll buy this again, more than likely.

Usually I buy the Better than Bouillon paste which is also concentrated and added to boiling water, but it seems to dissolve a lot better. I threw it into water with pasta and I also tried with rice just while they were cooking and I found remnants of the cube leftover at the end of cooking.
I used it when cooking brown basmati rice for a cilantro rice I make often. It was AMAZING. It's usually very good, but everyone agreed it was exceptional. The only thing that changed was I used these bouillon cubes instead of water.
It does contain palm oil in the ingredients twice - which while it has some controversy attached to it, is a vegetable oil. I consider this to be a healthy addition to my cooking. It was slightly too salty for me, but I just modified my portions and it worked out perfect.
I would considering buying this again, but likely because of the dissolving issues I would go with the powder format instead of cubes.

Marcelle Hydractive 24H Day & Night Moisturizing Gel Cream
I’ve been using this moisturizer at night and it’s light, quick absorbing but also has enough moisture to keep my skin hydrated and feeling refreshed. I never wake up with tight skin or dry flakes. I’ll definitely consider buying this again.

I wear this all summer as a moisturizer under my foundation. I am outside a lot and still get colour but haven’t burnt!
It’s not oily and absorbs quickly. It’s also lasted me a long time. I’ve had this at least 2 summers and it’s still excellent. The bottle doesn’t have an expiry date so I was slightly concerned, but still good! Would certainly buy again and recommend!

Thanks to FamilyRated I got to try the new Mott's Fruitsations +Fibre Unsweetened Mango Peach. We've had some Fruitsations before but haven't gotten to try this flavor yet. Thank you FamilyRated & Mott's!! Now, I got it free but I’ll always be honest!
This flavor is unsweetened, and when I asked my toddler what it tasted like she said it was "delicious like jam". Which when you think about it, means it must be pretty sweet. I am a little bit of a crazy person when it comes to feeding my tiny babies. I like to keep refined sugar as far away as I can until they are 18 months. That is why I love this breakfast food so much. It's convenient, delicious and free of refined sugar.
They are gluten and peanut free! So they are safe to send to school or take to the play centre too!
I do prefer the little squeeze pouches for the baby, but the three year old loves that these come in tiny bowls. And I love that she isn't eating cookies for breakfast!

I’ve been using this for about 2 weeks and it’s completely eliminated a entire breakout. And a blind zit I had been battleing for way too long. I tried it because it was on sale and I just wasn’t getting anywhere with my current treatment and now I’ll probably keep it in stock forever. -

I love the pick me up from green tea, and this TAZO tea is a excellent choice. It still has that green tea taste but it isn't overpowering, I also don't find any of the other flavours very strong, but perhaps that is because I'm not a purist. I have this tea stocked all the time, I watch for sales and lots of times they have coupons floating around too which make this high end brand very affordable. -
