For something I apply to fight wrinkles, I should not have to mash and tug at my face so much just to rub it in. I swear, this stuff comes out like a soft almost dry clay and applies to the face just as badly. It is a putty, this is not a cream. Nor is it useable. The best before date on my bottle is just fine, this is just a badly developed product. I love CeraVe's range, I like the claims, I like the ingredients, I hate the format. This stuff is impossible to use. It also pills up and leaves a weird cast. NOPE. -

This stuff is great, it is concentrated so I dilute it with water and put it in a spray bottle that I keep in my shower, I spritz everything down after I am ready in the morning, blast the shower head to rinse everything off quickly and boom - tub is clean. I will do a deep clean once a month using this stuff and a sponge. Easy peasy, bathroom is squeaky cleany. Great for the sink and all other bathroom surfaces (not the mirrors!).
I love this for cleaning floors too, in the kitchen and foyer. Great product and great value for money. Lovely scents too. I always have this in the house.

This product is great, gets the job done, no need to rinse, easy to use, fun mist spray and amazing scents. I am talking deliciously clean refreshing scents. Oh my the scents!
I do find however that it is a bit costly given the amount of actual product in each of the bottles and refills. If you look closely, you see that the bottle is not filled at all, there is a plastic bag within it, you think you are getting at least five times the amount of product than what is actually given, the bottle is deceiving. I don't appreciate the deceptiveness and will only buy it on sale as a result. The product itself is wonderful though and works fantastically well.

Eva NYC- Mane Magic 10-in-1 Primer

I love this stuff, and I am picky with hair products. Three or four spritzes when my hair is sectioned off into two, my comb glides through with ease. I let my hair air dry at least 40% then blow it dry if that is the plan, or let it air dry. If blow drying, I don't need another product with this, I am left with bouncy, unfrized shiny hair that smells and looks fantastic. The downside is I will have to wash it again in about two days - but its worth it for the results. If I air dry, I apply a curl cream or gel on top while it is still almost soaking wet. I have toyed with using Eva-NYC's Curl Cream but I am not very impressed. It does work very well with gels.
Smells exactly like Burberry Brit Rhythm for Her - soft candied lavender.

President's Choice Great Canadian Coffee

Always a good cup, even if I add too much or too little to the filter (mornings, am I right?). Never tastes too bitter nor burnt, goes well with all milk and milk alternatives I have tried. I especially like it with almond milk, and really enjoy it with coconut milk when I am feeling a little more decadent. Huge tins are often on sale too! Great value and great taste. My favorite coffee by far. -

Okay, off the bat I must mention there are two versions of this detergent, one has scent and one does not. I picked this up by mistake, thinking it was unscented but I was wrong. I just naturally assume Sensitive Skin being blasted on the label means scent-free. Silly me. The fact it comes "Plus Skin Friendly Fresh Scent" needs to be highlighted and made bigger. People are rushing in the isles during COVID and don't have time for small text.
That said, I am not mad I picked this up by mistake. The scent is rather strong, but unlike other detergents with fragrance, this did not irritate my skin. My entire apartment smells lovely after a wash. Yes, it is THAT strong.
Cleans my clothes well, no residue, darks and whites came out just fine. Handy handle, decent price and often on sale. Just be careful to not pick up the wrong one if you have any sort of scent issues because this is definitely perfumed.

If you are in the market for a no-nonsense lip balm that helps your lips withstand harsh dry, windy winters, look no further! This is skincare that can be used on cracked unappy skin. I have used this on chapped hands and it was nice. I prefer to use this for my lips though. I apply this after every shower and before bed, and when I remember I apply this before going outside in winter - my lips have not been a cracked, sore dry mess ever since. A tube will last ages and can fit nicely in most purses. No irritation, no scent, no taste, just very effective and cost friendly. -

I love this soap it really does cut through grease like no other and rinses thoroughly away. I am fairly certain this is the same product in Europe sold as Fairly Liquid, it has the same performance an scent, so expats rejoice! I love the smell of the original blue variety too, it reminds me of a softer, sweeter Eternity by Calvin Klein, it is the 1980's in soap form! I use this to clean my shower/bathtub and toilets as well - works like a charm. -

Okay, I need to address two things right off the bat. First - spray this in your hands, not in your hair. The spray mechanism is misleading and I am sure there are many who have sprayed this directly on their hair only to be left with There's Something About Mary-like mess. This should be in a pump, why is is in a spray is beyond me. Spray in your hands, rub them together then apply.
Second - that scent! Okay, this will likely be the making or breaking of this product for many. That fragrance is STRONG. Heavily floral,it reminds me of 1980's perfumes it is so strong, but in the best way possible. I say this can be a 2 in 1 product as it is hair conditioner and hair perfume in one.
Okay, now for its actual hair care properties - I am impressed. I am usually a diehard Kerastase and Redken girl, but as far as leave-in conditioners and stylers go - this is my new go-to. It is moisturizing without weighting your hair down. It makes my hair easier to style and with body and movement - while also taming frizzies, leaving shine and offering some heat protection (reportedly). I use this as a blowdry lotion for blowouts and I use it when I let my wavy hair dry naturally - and both leave me happy with the texture of my hair. I love that it is not too thick nor oily so I can actually go longer without having to wash when I use this stuff. I am impressed! It is on the expensive side but worth it given I use three or four pumps twice a week and it has lasted me ages despite being used in these amounts. Worth it if you have the cash and have thick hair that weighed down by product easily.

This a gem of a product, I wish I could find it in Canada (I have it shipped from The U.S.A). It is a super moisturizing lotion that has no fragrance and has the added bonus of having broad spectrum sun protection. I am pretty sure this is meant as a body moisturizer but I use it on my face as my daily moisturizer in the winter months and it works like a charm. I have not used it under makeup, as I tend to opt for a bb cream that has SPF built in, so I cannot report how it works under a base. I can say however that it keeps those pesky winter flakeys away (also helping with irritation from the retinol have had recently added to my routine). This is not waterproof or sweatproof, but for winter use it is perfect! You get a whopping 226g for under $20 so it will last the whole season. I could not recommend it more! -
