I just got the “in the nude” liquid lipstick set from stila and I must say I’m absolutely in love. I’ve tried multiple different brands of liquid lippies and Stila takes the cake. It stays on ALL DAY like it says. The brush is precise and easy to apply. No need to reapply at all. You can barely even tell anything is on your lips it’s so lightweight. There’s a little bit of transfer but it doesn’t ruin the look of it at all. I have definitely just found my new favourite liquid lipstick! It’s a little bit on the pricier side, but it’s totally worth the money. The colours are super vibrant and pigmented too! A must have for liquid lipstick lovers like myself. -

I got this product hoping it would work well with my combination skin. I found in the winter it works decently for me, since I live in Canada and have cold dry winters that dry out my face pretty badly.
However, in the summer months it seems to not help at all with the oily sections of my face. I also noticed that I would get breakouts after using it twice a day in the summer, I think because my skin is very sensitive to some products.
Sadly It’s just not for me. I was hoping it would be a good product for me since I do like to use Clinique. I use Cliniques “take the day off” cleansing balm, as a makeup remover that works fantastic, and I also use a Clinique deep charcoal cleanser on a daily basis that I absolutely love.
This moisturizer isn’t on the cheap side either, which is a disappointment because if it wasn’t so expensive I would use it for just the winter. I can’t justify the price for a product that only works a couple of months out of the year for me, when I could just buy a cheaper or equal value product that works year around for me.
So while this product may be a good product for some, it’s just not made for my super sensitive, combination skin.

I love this dry shampoo. It’s the first kind I have found that actually really works for me. The cheaper brands from the drug stores that I have tried are usually sprays and the tend to still leave my hair looking greasy.
This brand seems to work wonders on my hair. Don’t need to use to much product, just rub it in and brush it out and my hair looks fuller and much less greasy. Which is good for me because my hair tends to look greasy when I go only a day without washing, which I know isn’t good for my hair and that’s the reason it gets so bad is because how often I wash it
The only thing that I’m not too impressed with this product is the price. I understand it works really well but it’s double the price of Bautiste which for me does work but not as well as this. I think it’s worth it but I can’t always spend $20 on it. The upside to that is I’ve found it lasts quite awhile. I was lucky and found it on sale at shoppers for $8.99 which is the reason I got to try it in the first place.
Over and all it’s definitely a good product and I plan on purchasing it again. My advice is to look around stores that carry it and try to purchase it when it’s on sale. I don’t seem to notice it go on sale often but when it does it’s best to grab a couple.

Hartz Flea And Tick Collar

This brand of flea and tick treatment has been killing dogs and cats, and if not killing them it’s been making them very sick and seizure. I haven’t given it to my dog myself, but I do have friends that have, and it’s harmed their Cats, and killed one of my friends little dogs.
Don’t believe me just search it up yourself and you will read horror story’s about peoples poor pets after using this flea and tick stuff. Please don’t buy this cheap stuff, go to your vet and get proper stuff even if it’s a bit expensive, it’s worth your pets life, and may end up saving you TONS of money at the vets from trying to save your animal after having a bad reaction to Hartz.
I wouldn’t even give this half a star in any of the categories but I had no choice. After I had heard from actual people I know, about the dangers of this stuff I looked it up myself and discovered they weren’t the only ones who experienced problems. As a matter of fact there were so many blogs, reviews, and comments about how this brand has killed or seriously harmed many other peoples pets. That alone made me extremely disturbed.
How could a product that does so much harm, still be on the market? I know Walmart sells it since that’s where my one friend purchased it so please I beg you do not even try it. Your poor pets don’t deserve to suffer from this when it could be completely prevented by going to a vet and getting proper flea and tick meds. Your pet is worth more than a cheap deadly product like this one.

These are my favourite tampons, they’re comfortable unlike the cheap cardboard applicator tampons out there. They do their job, and are easy to use. The applicators make them comfortable and not at all complicated to use. They’re also colourful yet discreet and I can just throw them in my purse without having them take up a lot of space in there.
So far they are definitely my favourite out of all the different brands I’ve tried. I find some other brands tend to hurt a bit and are discomforting if the flow is really light and there’s not a lot of bleeding because they’re really dry I guess? But these ones I found don’t do that even if it’s a light flow. Definitely recommend, they’re a little pricier than most but I think they’re worth it, you’re paying for the quality for sure.

To be honest, I loved this brand of food for my dog. I read that it’s one of the top dry foods for dogs In Canada, and for the price I figured it should be. My dog is very picky, and I haven’t been able to get her to eat just kibble without putting some sort of wet food in it, even with this brand (no matter the flavour).
We kept buying this brand until one day I saw an article on how it had a certain chemical in it which wasn’t actually advertised or disclosed on any of the bags ingredients lists, and that completely changed my mind on this food. How can you charge so much, and claim it’s the very best food but not disclose that it has a certain chemical that isn’t actually too good for your pets. Mind you I can’t remember the the exact chemical because it was awhile ago but I believe it started with a T and was an acronym for something.
The article I read stated that it was found and they admitted it in the US, so I just assumed it was same for Canada because there was no difference in the American and canadian Acana brand.
While every other ingredient seems very good, I can’t support a brand that lies and fails to mention the use of a chemical in their products. Especially when they claim to be one of the best, and charge an arm and a leg.

I really enjoy this product. To be honest I didn’t expect it to really do much for whitening but it actually has made a bit of a difference! Nothing too drastic, but I have noticed my teeth have been a bit on the whiter side since I’ve started using this product. To me that says a lot because I’m a smoker and drink TOO much coffee haha.
It’s not too expensive since I get 5 packs at Costco and they tend to last me months with only two of us using them. The mint flavour is refreshing and leaves my mouth feeling clean, and my breath smelling nice!

I absolutely love this stuff. I’m a type 1 diabetic and I tend to injure myself ALL the time, and since I’m diabetic I’m prone to infection. When I get a cut or scrape, I always make sure to put this on it, followed by a bandaid. It prevents me from getting an infection, and also heals me when I do have a small infection. Since I’m so prone to infections I always make sure I have this at home. I use it more often than the regular person usually has to, and for that I am quite impressed on how well it works every single time, as a matter of fact I have some on right now! You can expect to heal fast without infection on almost any minor cut, scrape, and small open wound (not intended for major injuries) -

I absolutely love this skin care line. I had started off with the 15 day trial for the anti redness trio, it also came with a glycolic peel. Once I started using it I instantly fell in love. It really helped with my hyperpigmentation. It comes with a moisturizer, cleanser, serum and I also ordered the glycolic peel at a discounted price since I got the anti redness trio as well.
The only thing I dislike about this product line is the price, it’s definitely not cheap. This product uses ingredients I have yet to see another brand use. I also like it because it’s canadian made, and I love supporting local brands. It’s lasted me a few months so far seeing as you only need a tiny bit of each product.
Another good thing about these products is, they are geared to the type of skin you have, for instance if you’re skin is oily you get the cream cleanser instead of the gel, or if it’s dry or combination it comes with the gel cleanser I believe (or vice versa I can’t remember which ones which). I think I paid close to $300 for the set but If you can afford it, I believe it’s worth it.
You can get the 15 day trial kit from their website for free to see if you like it before you spend big bucks on it too. I know if I didn’t try the trial kit first I probably wouldn’t have purchased it. In just 15 days after I used the trial kit I was impressed which is what pushed me to buy the full size products.

Where do I start?! I absolutely LOVE this product. It’s a little bit on the pricier side, but it works wonders. I have pretty bad post acne scarring, and I was recommended this product to help reduce it. So far so good! I only use it about once a week, (you can use it a couple times a week) and it has significantly reduced the look of the red post acne scarring on my face. You can feel it working when you use it. It also has little beads in it to help exfoliate the old dead skin on your face. I must say I’m impressed by the effectiveness of this product! The 40ml bottle has lasted me over 6 months, and it’s still not empty. I’m sure if I used it a few times a week I would have even better results than I already do now. I would most definitely recommend this product to anyone trying to get rid of post acne scarring, or anyone trying to brighten dull looking skin. It is a glycolic acid solution, I believe it’s about 25% glycolic acid which is why it can’t be used daily. Glycolic acid is known for its great exfoliating and brightening power, and it definitely does exactly that. I’ll be using this from now on that’s for sure! -
