I bought this product to tame split ends, flyaways, and to nourish my hair in the cold winter. I bought this at Dollarama for $3(!!!) which is a major steal. You can apply this oil to both damp and dry hair. I have long hair and use more than is instructed, but this makes my hair so soft and glossy! Plus, it works great as an anti-static hair product. I have fine, easily-tangled hair, and this actually helps detangle as well.
The only issue I have with the product is the pump. Sometimes it just flies out and gets everywhere, but a faulty pump makes up for the quality of this product.

I originally bought this spot treatment as something different to try from the usual benzoyl peroxide. Overall, I don't think it works as well as BP in combating acne, but I have noticed that using this treatment helps to heal a spot much faster. With BP treatments, I notice that the spot is still red and becomes very dry. This spot treatment is like a gel, which (for me at least) helps moisturize the area, reduces redness, and helps with scarring. -

I bought the Olay lotion for combination/oily skin. For a period of time it worked well for my skin -- it didn't cause my face to be extremely oily or feel heavy. But after a while I noticed that this lotion began clogging my pores. After I stopped using it, my skin became much clearer and had less breakouts overall. Because of the SPF, I think I'll keep this lotion for the summer. It has a very nice fragrance and being oil-free, feels very light on your skin. I would recommend it for anyone to try, because overall it is a very nice lotion! -

This dry shampoo is the best that I have tried, and I absolutely swear by it! I've tried Herbal Essences and g2b dry shampoos which left white residue in my hair. I then switched to Dove, but for me it was not as effective. I caved and bought Batiste after reading rave reviews, and it lives up to its name! Other dry shampoos still left my hair feeling oily (like putting baby powder in your hair), but Batiste makes my hair feel fresh! Although it costs more than others, it's absolutely worth it for the feel, and how well it works. What is also great is that I don't have to add too much to my hair. A little goes a long way for me. Definitely recommend! -

I was interested in trying dry shampoo to add volume and to lightly fix oily hair without washing. At first, I thought this product was great. At the time I had blonde hair. When I dyed my hair a dark brown, I noticed that this dry shampoo leaves an unfortunate white residue, which then forced me to wash my hair shortly after application. Eventually, it got to the point where the dry shampoo was creating either a dry scalp or dandruff, so I had to bin it for another brand.
It's an affordable dry shampoo that may work for some, but it does not work as well as other brands and only for those with light hair.

Carmex is the best brand when it comes to a balm that works on lips being destroyed by Canadian winters. I received both this balm and the moisturizing one as part of my residence package from my University four years ago, and I'm still using them today. The balms are so moisturising and creamy that they create a barrier against harsh winds. Carmex is a simple product, but super effective, super affordable, and simply amazing. I would recommend this to anyone and everyone. -

I absolutely love EOS lip balms! I love them so much that I'm constantly being gifted multipacks! I think it works perfectly fine as a regular lip balm. When I purchased this, I wasn't looking for a balm that would correct very chapped lips -- this product is meant to simply moisturize and it does the job well. I also love that it is 95% organic, and I think that the price is very good for something like that. Where I shop, EOS balms are $3-$4, which I think is competitive to other brands.
Another thing I love about this product is the packaging. I always lose stick balms because they are so tiny -- I would never be able to use one of these because they're so large.

Although it may seem a bit pricey, this lip balm is the most effective vegan balm I've found! I was surprised at how well it worked for not containing beeswax. Canadian winters mean extremely chapped and cracked lips, so I was happy that a little of this product goes a long way. One application will do you the entire day. It doesn't immediately absorb and creates a nice barrier from the harsh cold. The only downside is that it's a tub, not a tube, and it does have an overwhelming lemon scent (almost like a lemon cleaner), but you'll get used to it over time. Probably the best lip balm out there for vegans. -

I use this product about once a week because the result is that my face feels refreshed afterwards. For myself, it does not work in counteracting my acne flare ups, but I continue to use it because the tea tree feels cool and makes my face feel smooth afterwards. I have very oily skin, so I apply a thin layer all over my face and leave it on for about 20 minutes. On occasion, I try to use it as a spot treatment and sometimes it works. I think it's just best to try it for yourself, as its effectiveness seems to vary. -

I tend to buy the Body Shop products during their bundle sales, so it can be a good deal when combined with other facial products. I find that this face wash in alright in comparison to others I use. I originally purchased this product at the recommendation of other acne sufferers, after saying that tea tree products helped with redness. I found that this product, although a nice cleanser, didn't do much to help with blemishes. I often use this product when I don't have flare ups, and it feels amazing and cool on my skin. The Body Shop's tea tree line all do have very strong odors, but it's just proof that the products contain enough tea tree and is effective. Although it does not work for what I purchased it for, I do love the product and will continue to use it. -
