I really enjoy the quick and efficient format of this body wash. The foam pumps out with ease and it feels so smooth on the skin. The foam format takes away any "sudsing up" that you'd have to do with a bar or gel. You end up using just the right amount of product, and it works well with hands, a loofah or scrub gloves. I adore the orange creamsicle smell and the sleek bottle. Would absolutely recommend this product, it's so nice for the guest bathroom too - a unisex scent that definitely feels luxurious. Without the high price! -

I think these peel-off masks are a fun skincare product that help with flaky skin. I definitely don't find it to be gentle in the slightest - the tugging and pulling is very intense on my sensitive skin! That being said, it isn't irritating, per se, and it does serve its purpose. Just make sure to avoid the brows and hairline, and you'll be good. -

This reminds me a lot of my *beloved* Avène Soothing Moisture Mask, or a better version of the LANEIGE Sleeping Mask. It has a nice, thick texture that sits well on the skin, sinking in to calm and plump your complexion. I have combination skin, and find that this mask is very gentle and does not clog pores. A really nice option at the drugstore for when you want to wash-and-go, since I usually forego my toner, serum and moisturizer when I use a sleeping mask. Because, lazy.
I also love the lockable rubber spatula applicator concept, the packaging on this product is truly fabulous. That being said, I think this packaging would be better if the spatula rubber was more flexible - it is hard to smooth the mask around my nose.. and I always need to go in to massage the product thinly so that I can sleep with it on. I think the packaging would be better on the peel-off mask!

I either apply a few drops of this serum to my skin before moisturizer, morning and night, or I mix it with my foundation to create an even, glowy layer of coverage with less caking. I really like the faint fragrance, cute dropper, and high-end feel of this product. It reminds me of Estée Lauder Advanced Night Repair serum with its gelly texture and plumping effect. If you want the experience of an expensive serum at a more affordable price-point, definitely look to this little bottle of glow - it's super multi-purpose! -

I have very thin hair, but a lot of it. I also have natural "virgin" hair that has never been coloured or treated heavily. I have combo skin which means my scalp gets plagued with flaky skin, oiliness and buildup just as much as my skin elsewhere. I struggle to find cleansing shampoos that don't strip my hair and scalp but still leave my hair feeling fresh. My first reaction to this Dover Derma+Care Scalp Invigorating Mint shampoo is that it foams up SO MUCH. But not in an annoying way! It's very thick and a little goes a long way. The foam that builds up is so cleansing, I can massage it through my head for at least two minutes to get a very thorough clean. My scalp is left feeling comfortable and healthy after using this shampoo. I usually rotate between 2-3 types of shampoo at a time, so I find myself reaching for this one about 1-2 times per week. I would definitely recommend this shampoo as a good deep cleanse that smells an awful lot better than competitors (*ahem*, H&S;) and doesn't break the bank. -

Benzoyl peroxide is an often-overlooked ingredient that literally has the power to zap zits overnight. I recommended this spot treatment to a friend who had a zit that just wouldn’t budge right in the center of her forehead. It works so well as an emergency product that always has your back. I get those hormonal spots and cysts every month, without fail, and nothing reduces the anger of a pimple like Benzagel 5. I'll apply a thin layer under my moisturizer and on cleansed skin twice per day, every day, for 3-5 days and there is typically a great improvement in the spot from day 1. This is a medicine cabinet essential, IMO! -

The Serenity relaxation tea from Lipton is amazing for enjoying after dinner. I’m not a huge fan of pure chamomile, since I find it to be too floral. This one is delicious, and you can really taste the cinnamon. I also love lavender, but only in small quantities. This blend is diverse and delicious, full of flavour and easy to drink warm or cold. I will definitely repurchase. -

This new collection of Lipton tea has such incredibly unique flavours. The packaging is simply gorgeous, everything from the box to the plastic baggies to the pyramid style sachets. I found the quality of the sachets themselves to be very high, no ripping and very even steeping. What I love especially for the green tea is that it doesn’t over-steep and get bitter tasting. I’ve been trying to drink green tea every afternoon as a little pick-me-up, and this one has been truly delightful. The touch of grapefruit is right up my alley, withe the floral background flavour to round it out. -

Yes yes yes, I was lusting over these babies for so long. These lip tints are inspired by the K Beauty trend of "popsicle lips". Available in ten luscious shades, this unique long-wearing gloss/liquid lip hybrid features an innovative pillowy soft cushion tip that makes quick application a breeze. The Cushion Lip Tints not only make lips appear fuller and more conditioned, but they also protect against dryness. I am in love with Pretty Kiss and Pink IRL. High-End Coral has a shimmer and finish that I don't prefer, though you have a wide spectrum to choose from. -

Revlon has a volumizing mascara that promises a smudge-proof, flake-free finish for 24hrs?! Had to try it. This ultra-creamy, quick building formula is infused with nourishing Olive Oil and the perfect mix of three waxes. The unique Volumazing™ brush is designed with mini reservoirs and wavy bristles to create eye catching lashes. I love this brush and I found the formula to be great. Though I did notice a few flakes, nothing major. It's a nice find from the drugstore. 3 Non-Waterproof shades available: Blackest Black • Black • Blackened Brown -
