I received this product free in the mail to test out and review, and was unable to choose which scent I received. First of all, this lemon scent is like a lemon cleaner. If you don't fancy that, or like people I know where it can cause migraines, I'd go for another scent if you can (like the lavender). Overall, I would say that this product is very average. It is a strong scent which masks MOST of the smell, but it doesn't completely get rid of it. I found that this product mixed in with the smell just like a typical aerosol spray. I would say that this product works as well as an aerosol spray, but likely better for you. I didn't have high expectations for this product, but I was hoping that it would work as advertised and better than it did. It is convenient and small enough to travel with, but I don't think its effectiveness is up to my expectations. Unlikely to purchase again. -

I received a sample of this product with one of my Sephora online purchases. At first I was nervous to wear this scent because I had heard so many negative reviews about it. Once I spritzed this on, I realised right away that it had a very strong smell. It can be overpowering at times, but a little definitely goes a long way. I want to remark how well this perfume lasts on your skin -- if you've ever had an issue with perfume dissipating after a few hours, you won't experience that with this product. It lasts on your skin until the next day, and will likely last until you shower next. I've never had a perfume perform THAT well before! As for the scent itself, it's hard for me to put my finger on what exactly it is, but it's sweet smelling. To my nose, it doesn't smell floral -- it is warm and deep, definitely a fall/winter perfume. It isn't my favourite perfume scent, and I likely won't purchase it again for myself. But, I think for the quality and how long lasting the product is, it's definitely worth the price because it will last you forever! -

I received a sample packet of this product in the mail. I was really looking forward to trying this product out because makeup wipes tend to be too harsh and drying on my face, and I wanted something that would cleanse and moisturize to prevent that from happening. The first issue with is this product is that it doesn't remove makeup -- it removes just as much as if you were running water over your face and rubbing with your hands. It claims to remove waterproof mascara, but it couldn't even remove my regular (not waterproof) mascara or eyeliner. To me that just defeats the purpose of this product because it doesn't fulfill its claim. I can't even tell what the qualities of this product are after using, because after applying I have to wash my face with another cleanser to actually remove all my makeup. I'm so disappointed because I was really hoping to love this product! -

I purchased this palette at Marshall's for a much smaller price than Sephora or Too Faced's webpage, which is why I put the stars in the middle of the road. What I paid is much better than its regular price. Regardless, I'm so happy I purchased this palette. I have hazel eyes and all the shadow combinations work excellently with my eye colour. I love that there are many neutrals in the palette and it can easily go from day to night. A majority of this palette is shimmer, which is not something I typically go for, but it's so high quality and does not look tacky. That being said, these shadows are very pigmented. A little goes a long way, so even if you did purchase this palette at full price, it's definitely worth it for how long it'll last. I think this palette will work best for those with brown, hazel, or green eyes. The shadow colours as so beautiful and there are so many combination opportunities. I definitely recommend this product!
**This palette also comes with a waterproof black eyeliner, which I adore. It's so creamy, goes on easy, and it doesn't smudge or dissipate after hours of wear

I found this product at my local Shoppers Drug Mart and figured I'd pick it up to at least try. First of all, the price is absolutely amazing. I didn't have high expectations for this product because it's so cheap, but I absolutely love it! I typically use gel liners for my winged eyeliner, and had never tried an eyeliner pen before. The application is so easy, and I find that this product lasts longer on my eyes than the gel products (with and without an eye primer). I will absolutely be purchasing this item again and again! -

I purchased this product because I wanted to see if an acne-fighting moisturizer would be effective in controlling breakouts. I originally used this product all over my face, but my skin was still dry in certain areas where I never had breakouts. Overall, I'd consider this a mild moisturizer. I began 'spot treating' with this product. My breakouts are in the jaw/chin areas, so I only use this product in those spots and it has really worked. My whiteheads are at a minimum for the first time in a long while. Sometimes, I do have to go over the area with another regular moisturizer, but I'm okay with that as long as this product keeps working. -

The Canadian cold air really takes a toll on my poor scalp in the winter time, so I thought I'd give this product a shot to prevent a chronically flaky scalp. After my first use, I could tell an immediate difference. My scalp was not itchy, and I did not have little flakes throughout my hair. I don't have severe dandruff, so I don't know how it will fair for those individuals. But, I'd definitely recommend it to anyone with dandruff caused by dry, winter air. This product is expensive, but I only use it once a week so it stretches out. -

I typically purchase Biore pore strips, but they can be quite pricey. When I saw the price for these, I thought I'd give them a chance. These pore strips are effective, but the biggest problem I have with them is that they stick to my face too well. These are much more painful to remove than the Biore strips and I think they are less effective than Biore too. I've heard about pore strips potentially damaging the skin, and if any strip were to do that, I think it'd be these. Because of the pain-factor, and the fact they are less effective, I don't think I'd purchase these again. I'd rather pay more for the more effective product and use it less often. -

I purchased this product because I saw rave reviews on YouTube and the price was amazing! I purchased it on sale at Shoppers for a ridiculously cheap price for a drug store brand. First of all, I have very pale skin and have difficulty in finding foundations which are light enough for my skin. I could only ever use Revlon foundation, but it is (what I consider to be) expensive for a drug store brand. I'm so glad I took a chance on this product because it matches my skin tone so well, while covering hyperpigmentation caused by acne. I don't find that this really mattifies my skin, but it does a decent job of keeping the shine at bay. It lasts all day and my only criticism is that if I have drying up acne spots, it'll cling to the dry skin. But, I can deal with that to continue using my now favourite and holy grail foundation. -

I was very excited to have the opportunity to try this unflavoured protein powder by BOOST for free from Chick Advisor.
As a vegetarian, any additional ways to add protein to my diet is a bonus. I typically use flavoured protein powders/mixes in smoothies, but I've never tried a product that can be added to baked goods like this product! I've added this powder to peanut butter protein balls, banana bread, and pancakes, and I did not notice any texture or flavour difference. All my baked goods came out the exact same as they would have without the protein powder.
As for smoothies, I only notice that it thickens the shake. There is no funny after taste, or artificial flavours. I'm very happy to know that this is a simple product with only whey and soy. Overall, I'm very glad that I was selected to try this product. Of all the protein powders/mixes I've tried in the past, I think this may be my top pick. This product is clean, and much more versatile than any other concentrated protein I know of.
