I feel like tatcha just blew every primer I have out of the water. I have tried so many primers it's disturbing. They are a cruelty free brand.
The product is amazing. I have never used a primer and actually noticed my pores being blurred. It put my foundation on smoother (i use Purlisse bb cream) and just made my overall base look better. It even helped my powder go on smother too. It held on all day and worked exactly how it says it would. Amazing, honestly I didn't know a primer could be so magical.
Now the negative is that it is super expensive. The other negative is being in a pot and having to scoop it out is a bit inconvenient and can be a bit messy. I do wish (correct me if there is) there was a way that likee scoop connected to the main packaging. I just feel like it can be lost easily at the moment. However this product is so good these minor things don't remotely bother me.
If you don't believe in primer... this is the product for you because it'll will make you a believer lol I will definitely re-buy and recommend. I hope tatcha come out with more make up related stuff!

I really love tropical fruit so I thought this one would be my favourite but the mixture of banana and tropical fruits with apples is just strange. It’s bitter and not the best. It also tastes artificial but the package claims to not have anything fake. Both my boyfriend and I passed on this flavour.
The price is about 3-4cad. They are gluten, peanut and dairy free which is nice for those who need this option.
Health facts: These are about 50 calories which is ok. However, there is a lot of sugar in these, 11g, which makes it not particularly healthy. It’s really odd that fiber is only 2g since apples naturally have more. These are marketed to be snacks for lunches but these are a treat/dessert not a healthy snack.
This flavour I wouldn’t buy flavour. However that is just my households taste.

This flavour I would consider buying again as an ocassional dessert for sure. I think it could make some good Deseret filling or a dip for fruit.

Got2b is cruelty free, and the box does provide a single set of gloves (that are massive and are meant for a giants hand)
I am pretty experienced in terms of at home funky colour dying and I would say this is not the easiest to use. (I created a video which i can later link here showing my testing of the product). I think the concept of a product you dry in your hair and wash out easy is great. However, the formula being very watery and in a spray bottle makes it messy and harder to apply evenly. It literally takes away everything easy about dying your hair with temporary die away and keeps all the bad things.
The colour itself, is nothing like box. (i got the cotton candy pink) It has a blue tone to it that the box doesn't show. My hair is 613 blonde at the bottom but at the roots is darker like 14 in remy hair colour.The dyetook to my light blonde pretty well and tinted the med blonde but i can tell it will definitely not anything that is remotely dark. It also is extremely difficult to tell if things are even until you are drying your hair; in which case it's too late to fix things.
Once it's dry i still noticed the colour does rub off a bit, though most of the temporary ones will. My hands, and my face where my hair touched it would turn from it. I found my hair was a bit drier then normal and felt a little crunchy but not nearly as a bad as a hair wax or spray colour. the final texture was probably one of the best parts. It also washed out completely in one wash so if you wanted to used this literally for a day it would be a ok choice.
Overall, I personally will not be using it again or buying it again. I would recommend the coloured hairsprays over this for single day use and just getting normal semi permanent dye for other funky colours.

I do prefer the purple version's brush but they are basically the same other then that. Honestly my favourite mascara right now. you can't go wrong at 5 dollars. Absolutely awesome! -

I received this from the chickadvisor preimum box. The packaging is adorable like everything else from this brand but that's where it stops being good. The product just smells like chemicals. It also has a very strange tip for use. The actual concealer isn't amazing either. I would just over all pass on this product. There a ton of other options at the price point. -

I received this free from Chick Advisor. Lipivir is Cruelty and Vegan. The ingredients seem to only be polyethylene glycols and lemon.
Packaging and Price:
Love the packaging. The colours are lovely. It's very cute and it's small enough to basically take anywhere with you. The down fall of it being small though is that it can be easily lost. Lipivir is around 27 dollars plus tax. This is the price of a high end lipstick (Bite, Urban decay, Kat von D, ect). Most high end lipsticks are 4-6g and Lipivir is 2g. Not to compare lipsticks to Lipivir directly to high end make up. However, being this price I wish the product was larger or that it was built into a lipstick instead of being designed to go under one. Particularly because you are supposed to use it twice a day.
Formula and Wear:
I really like that this product is clear. One of the things I hate about most cold swore medications is that it's usually white and/or shiny. Lipivir definitely requires VERY little of it's own product. If you put too much on you feel like you have a strange film on your lips. Which was a mistake I made quite a few times. I also made the mistake of eating it haha. It has a citrus smell and a bitter taste to it. I will say overall it works great at keeping cold swores away and I only applied it once a day. It is easy to use once you get the correct amount figured out. Also it hides very easily under any lipstick.
My General Opinions:
This is where I get the mixed feelings. I wore Lipivir for a solid week straight. I had no cold sores and then one day forgot and I immediately got a cold sore. I applied it again and it quickly went away. I worry that my body had become dependent on it. I personally would only use it when I feel a cold or cold sore coming on for this reason. If you have chronic cold sores this might be a better choice then Abreva but if you just get them here or there I would say it's comparable.
It definitely does work and does everything it claims but it's a bit pricey because of this I am undecided on if I would purchase this in the future over Abreva or any other cold sore medication.

I haven't shopped at Garage clothing in quite a few years. They used to be my top choice for comfy clothing but the quality seemed to have gone down and I switched to Aritizia.
BUT I have to ssay they are back! if you haven't checked out one in a while I highly recommend it!
First thing I've noticed they've now opened their sizing to XL and XXS so if previously you couldn't wear them there is a bit more of a range. I am generally a L in most stores (i'm about a 12 in pants if that helps) and L fits me great in everything I bought. SO I would say most of their clothing runs pretty true to size.
The second thing I loved is a lot of their newer leggings have the PERFECT waistband. The thicker one goes up close to your natural waist with thin elastic that isn't squeezing you to death. They also are thick enough you can't see through them and are nicely sewn with reinforced stitch. My thunder thighs are thanking them. They have many styles my favs were the ones with the lace up on the side and the velvet ones (great for winter ad 90s vibes).
Finally, the absolute best part of this is how cheap it is! Got 4 pairs of leggings and a sweater for about 70 dollars before taxes! They had a sale buy 1 leggings get the second 50% off and then they also gave me an additional 10% for signing up on their app! (i think there is a deal online similar too)
Great deals and I will definitely be back for more in the future!
