I always skipped over this item in the skincare aisle. I suppose it looked more clinical than I figured I needed. However, I have recently been doing research on different skincare ingredients (what's good for different needs). I decided this cleanser would be a wise choice to try as it is fragrance free and doesn't contain an ingredients I've read about that can irritate some skin types. I instantly felt a huge difference in my skin. My skin doesn't feel super dry after rinsing; it actually feels clean yet moisturized. -

I received this product for free for review purposes.
I will start by saying that I was happy with the product. It was gentle on my skin, it removed makeup successfully, and it made my skin feel fresh and soft without even applying moisturizer. That said, I've had very similar experiences with other micellar water cleansers on the market. This Nivea micellar water really is a great cleanser/face refresher. I'm certain anyone who buys it will be happy with the product, but I don't think I would go out of my way to buy this product if another brand was on sale. It seems that with micellar water, it's all very comparable.

I received this product in exchange for my honest review. I was pleased with the amount of product that comes in the jar; often cream this nourishing comes in expensive small quantities. However, this jar had plenty to use for all over moisture. I was pleased with how easily it absorbed into the skin without leaving any oily residue. I would happily buy this product in the future, especially ahead of winter. -

I received this product for free in exchange for my review. I left it to the last minute to submit my review so I could give the more accurate depiction of the product (I.e., I've used it for about a week now). The mask smells super clean and was surprisingly gentle for a clay mask; it was not too drying at all. I find my T zone gets oily every couple days and the rest of my skin is mostly good. So, I decided to apply the mask every couple days to this zone and used it as a "spot treatment" if I spotted any blemishes. I was extremely impressed with this product. It left my skin feeling super clean without stripping it of all the natural moisture. The pores on my nose appear to have shrunk a bit, but that can be expected when you remove excess oil from the face. My skin seems to have cleared up noticeably! Overall, I'm really thankful to have received this product and I intend to use it in my skin care routine going forward. -
Nescafe instant cappuccino mix
I was very pleased with this instant mix. Just add hot water to the mix and stir for 20 seconds and you have a cappuccino. It even has a frothy milk layer on the top! Most cappuccino home mixes, discs, or cups can never quite get the milk layer done... +
I was very pleased with this instant mix. Just add hot water to the mix and stir for 20 seconds and you have a cappuccino. It even has a frothy milk layer on the top! Most cappuccino home mixes, discs, or cups can never quite get the milk layer done properly. This product nailed it! The texture was smooth and silky. The taste was exactly what you would expect of a restaurant cappuccino. -
Ardene's Jelly Flip Flops

I bought a pair of these flip flops when I spontaneously went for a pedicure and needed something cheap from the mall to wear instead of closed toe shoes (to let the nails fully dry). That was over 5 years ago and my shoes are still going strong. The strap and the sole of the shoe is one complete piece so there is no risk of the strap ripping out like what is seen with many other flip flops as they get older. These are a flexible rubber that wash and dry easily, but they are unbelievably comfortable. They come in a variety of vibrant colours (I own 4 pairs of different colours). -

This bar was the perfect size to snack on while out on the go or while hiking. I was pleased with the nutritional content, but would have preferred more protein. The flavours were very well balanced though. It was not too sweet, but just right. This protein bar left me feeling full for a few hours which is usually more than I can say for some protein bars. I would definitely reccomend this for people looking for a filling snack on active days or as a an occasional meal replacement. -

I was very pleased with the flavour of this bar. It tasted very hearty yet sweet. I would have liked more protein to be in a protein bar, but it was an acceptable amount especially given that the protein was plant-based. I was happy with the calorie content that allowed the bar to act as a light meal replacement or a snack. I would definitely buy this flavour variety in the future. -

I received this bar for free in exchange for my honest review.
Overall, the bar was satisfying. It left me feeling full for a few hours. The taste is extremely peanut buttery, without much chocolate taste, which I found pretty disappointing. I would have liked more of
a balance between these flavours. The nutritional content was quite good for a protein bar (I.e., there was not too much sugar and there was a good amount of fiber). However, I would have liked to see more protein in a protein bar (11g is acceptable, but not impressive).
I would buy these bars in the future as they make a good meal replacement when I'm too busy for a complete meal or a nice snack on more active days.

I received this product (along with the shampoo and conditioner in this line) for free in exchange for my review.
I need to start by saying that I wasn't disappointed by the product. It smelled very pleasant and lathered quite easily. However, I truly loved the shampoo and conditioner (they have become my new favourites). I was hoping to love the body wash just as much. My skin was not especially soft following my shower, but it was not begging for moisture either. It is possible multiple uses are required to see benefits.
To summarize: I love the scent of this body wash, but it didn't make my skin dramatically softer than similarly priced items on the market. More uses are needed to know the true quality of the product. That said, it stands up against competing brands while being cruelty-free and having a bottle made 100% of recycled plastic.
I can see probably purchasing this again in the future.
