Most people think of St. Ives synonymous with a rough hardcore exfoliator, which I used to love but don't use anymore as I've learned it could be a little harsh for my skin.
This avocado green coloured facewash has much smaller/finer exfoliating beads (similar to the consistency of fine sand) which is much gentler on the skin.
It's got a nice scent that doesn't linger after washing off the product.
I can't tell any major benefits to the skin but I enjoy the gentle exfoliation and am happy to have it added to my skincare routine.

The lid changes to a pink when it's in "harmful UV rays". I was inside my condo and I never get direct sunlight and I put the sunscreen next to the window and it changed to pink. So this is very cool as it's a smart indicator of when you should be applying sunscreen even when you don't think you need it.
The sunscreen is very watery, hence why it says to shake the tube before applying. It applies white and requires some rubbing in to get rid of all the white streaks. It feels quite greasy and leaves a purple tinge to the skin. You will leave greasy fingerprints on items you touch. There is only the slightest scent of sunscreen but nothing like normal ones.
It's got a good SPF so I'm sure it's adequate at protecting your skin against the damaging sun but I was not a fan of the application and the residue. I felt sticky and uncomfortable that I would get grease marks on anything my sunscreened body would touch.

This cream has the classic scent of a luxury skincare product. It feels heavier/thicker than expected from a day cream. It applies very smooth on the skin and takes a while to absorb; the text on the front of the product is accurate. I'm surprised that this would be considered "clean" because nothing on the label or packaging would make you think it would be. No noticeable benefits to my skin in such a short time of testing it but I like it as a heavier moisturizer. -

This product has a classic mint toothpaste flavor. Didn't seem to froth as much as my regular toothpaste but my teeth feel more squeaky clean with the slightest trace of baking soda lingering. It will probably take more time to see if the whitening is effective compared to what I normally use. I also think the packaging is really cute; the tube says hello to me every morning when I wake up and helps start the day right. -

I have never tested or used this brand or perfume before but the scent seems familiar to me. I sprayed it almost like an air freshener on pillows and my couch so I could get whiffs of it when I move around my home. It's a light, sweet scent that is not bold or overpowering but pleasant. I really enjoy it and I like the look and weight of the square glass bottle with the wood stopper. It feels very appropriate for the spring and summer weather. -

Every time I use this, I question why they have to keep the 2 serums separate. Especially when it seems to be activated when they are mixed together to be effective. The little 7-day sample packets require you to fold it in half to crack it open and I used about half of the sample packet for 1 full face application.
I find it oily on the fingers but not so much on the face; although it doesn't seem to fully absorb into my skin and because of how the product gets dispensed from the packet, I don't think the 2 serums are equally distributed; I got more of the turmeric/orange serum. I saw no difference in my skin but I think it would be more beneficial in the winter months when my skin is drier.

Cleansing oils aren't for everyone...I generally prefer cleansing soap bars and face washes that leave my skin feeling squeaky clean and dry so that I can slather it with moisturizers. This cleansing oil comes in a hard plastic which makes it slightly difficult to dispense; the product comes out of the small opening of the flip top but not enough so that I squeeze the hard plastic (which isn't easy) to get more oil into my hand.
I enjoy the lovely scent that is soft and calming but not something you would only find from Shu Uemera. Cleansing oils don't lather or create suds, but this one barely gets milky; when I rub the oil onto my skin, it seems to absorb and it doesn't feel like it's getting cleansed off. Though my skin does not feel oily nor dry after use, I've noticed more imperfections being emphasized and some pimples coming through. I can't be sure that it's the cleansing oil but it's the only change in my skincare routine. This is definitely not a cleansing oil I would keep in my routine - I have used much more effective oils that remove makeup and leave my skin feeling clean but not dry. Having the product in a pump would be better for dispensing and I think the price is higher than my more effective, preferred brands.

I only received the product yesterday so I've only had 2 days to try the collagen powder. It takes 28 days to see effectiveness of eye wrinkles so it's definitely not enough time for me to see any differences in my skin after 24 hours. There are lots of powders that say they are tasteless, odourless and colourless but I am skeptical because there usually is some taste and/or a noticeable texture difference due to the powder not dissolving. I was worried when I saw the foaming/bubbling of the water as I poured it into my mug - the bubbles hung around for a while before they dissipated but after letting the water sit for a few minutes, the water was clear and there is only the slightest off-taste. I was pleasantly surprised that there was no taste and the powder completely dissolved. I'm implementing this into my daily water drinking routine. I've added one scoop of the collagen powder into each of my water tumblers so I will be ingesting more than the recommended amount but I'd love to see changes in my skin in a month. -

It's a toy I think brings joy for a few weeks and then once all the eggs are opened, it's a minimal played-with toy because the fun is in opening each egg. It's got a lot of small pieces so could be a choking hazard and these little toys will probably get lost or kicked under furniture to never be seen again. I'd prefer if the camper was completely enclosed so that it could be portable and the tiny pieces wouldn't have a chance to fall out. It's not a noisy toy and I think it would be best for children with imagination so they can make up scenarios for the toys to go on. There's a lot of surprises for kids to figure out and it feels to me like and old school Polly Pocket. It's just hard to compete with all the other things out there plus technology but this has so many moving parts and little surprised that you can save for later to keep the fun going.
Child's words: I like how colorful the box is. I love the poodle family. They're so cute and sparkling. I like their wings and the most fun part is rubbing the heart and getting it warm to crack them open for the big reveal. Their eyes are so cute and the family is fun to play with.

It's great that it doesn't require batteries and it doesn't make a lot of noise. It's not just a basic toy car but it requires imagination and it would help to have accompanying toys to play with it. The car rolls very smoothly even on carpet. You press on the spoiler on the back of the car to make the tail wag - which is probably only when the toy is stationary but it's very cute. There's a button on the butt and near the tailpipe that you press to make the car lower from it's raised state; however it doesn't stay down very long because any little movement makes the car pop up into the lifted state which is slightly annoying. There are 2 headlights that you can lift so that it looks more like a cat. The actual cat could fit more securely in the car as it fell out pretty easily when playing roughly and going upside down. -
