I have been loving Aveeno recently so I was excited to try this moisturiser with SPF - because really...who needs two separate steps right?!
I loved that this wasn't greasy AT ALL and melted into my skin really quickly. I also appreciated that it didn't pill under my foundation. That being said I didn't like this under my foundation as I found it soaked into my skin too fast (is that a thing!?) and left my foundation a little harder to blend but I will definitely try it under maybe a glowier foundation than my current one. It's not tinted but by some wizardary did it seem to even my skin tone - it sure did!
Now....will I love this in the summer on no make-up days and will I be packing this in my luggage for my down south vacation in March to wear by the pool - you bet I will!
I can't yet attest to the sun protection factor because...uh hellooo Canadian Winter but I have high hopes because it's Aveeno!

I have been using this as my second cleanse after make up removal with a balm and have been loving it. Does not leave my skin tight at all (quite a feat for my skin!) and I really do feel that my skin is brighter since starting to implement it in my routine along with the facial moisturiser. -

I didn't expect to like this when I squeezed it at first as it felt like a little body lotion like for me. But...oh so pleasantly surprised. I was having a bit of a bad skin week - redness & dryness so I was a little hesitant to try something new but knowing the aveeno brand and that it is gentle...i went for it. So glad i did as the next morning my face looked visibly calmer and felt so much better. Continued using it for the next few days and haven looked back since! -

Not gonna lie - i was skeptical. But i was pleasantly surprised by this product!
Will it replace me using real garlic and real lemon when i can? No. Will it be great in a pinch when i dont have those things on hand? Yes!
While the flavour isnt the same as the real stuff it is good enough for what the product is.
One thing i did love it for was our cottage and camping trips this year - i find i have sacrificed taste in the past on such occasions because i didnt want to take fresh products that would spoil. This is a great option for that!

With all the stories and theories around pain relievers these days, I want to be sure that when i take a pain killer - it works. Mission accomplished!
I never get fevers. Ever. But this month as if sent to test me and my new medicine cabinet resident..i got a fever. I had it in the morning and I took a Motrin and by lunch it was significantly more manageable.
And that time of the month when I want to curl up in bed and do nothing...well I still wanted to do that but it wasn't due to cramping.. The Motin saw to that (and I rarely find any pain killer that alleviates that!)
These were easy to swallow and fast acting. What more could you want?!
This will definitely be my one stop bang for buck buddy when travelling now too!

A drink is for life..not just for christmas! And I can see us enjoying this in all seasons!
I am fussy with ginger ale..some days i love it some days i just dont enjoy it. This has curbed my indecisiveness! While i can taste a slight ginger taste to it..its more refreshing and fruity than anything.
I have also used this as a mixer with vodka and fresh lime at a girlfriends birthday party and everyone loved it!
While i tried the regular one i would purchase the diet version if i saw it, over the regular, just because.
If you aren't a ginger ale fan don't write this off!

I was so pleasantly surprised by this Retinol Oil. I was wary, skeptical and a little doubtful but...I eat my words and this oil ate my wrinkles!
But seriously, I noticed such a different around my mouth within the first week. Little frown lines minimised and that annoying creased on my forehead in between my brows dramatically diminished!
I loved the texture of this of this oil. It's not super oily and sunk into my skin quickly. There was no offensive smell (actually no smell).
One thing i hated with a passion...that dropper! What is it? It barely "sucks" up anything so i find myself overusing the product just to get enough and that little "button" on the outside seems to serve no purpose, other than getting me a little rattled. Please please look into the design/mechanic of the dropper.
(Side note i used this with the Prep Cleanser and who is to know if the Prep cleanser helped, sped up or even played a part in my results)

I liked the texture of this cleanser...it was thick and felt luxurious. I like that it had substance to it rather than just going on my skin and disappearing. The fact that it stuck around through my whole face wash made me think it was doing "something'!
It didn't dry my skin out...a huge plus for me. And it smelled nice..another win! My skin felt softer, lookied glowier and smoother within the first few uses. Trifecta win!
The only thing was I didn't fully understand the "prep" part of the cleanser. Should i only use when i am using Retinol? Can I use it when I'm not? Maybe it was prepping my skin because i had no adverse affects to the Retinol, was that helped by the cleanser?
No matter how this cleanser was marketed (as a prep step or not) I would buy it. Would i have bought it as a prep step, probably not but having received it to try for free i enjoy it as a regular cleanser.

Ginger Ale isn't my go to mixer or pop of choice if I'm indulging..I'd have it every so often. But with lemon...game changer!
I initially had this on it's own with a ton of ice and loved it...not too citrussy (some drinks with lemon taste like what i imagine cleaning solutions taste like!) or syrupy and just enough hint of lemon without being overpowering.
I then tried it with vodka and loved it! It did away with the need to put a slice of lemon in my drink and tasted awesome. It was refreshing and felt that it "summered up" my drink. I can see using this in a big pitcher of a cocktail this summer.
I also love the look of the can...it looks so retro!
Honestly if i hadn't received this free to try from Canada Dry i dont know if i would have gone for it..but since i did i will definitely put it on the repurchase list!

Not sure why on earth i waited so long to get one of these and now i will never be without it!
I often found when applying foundation with a brush i had brush marks on my face and my make up always looked a little disappointing.
First use of this and i was a changed woman! Flawless seamless look. Feels refreshing to apply, because the sponge is wet from cold water.
I also got a handy little case for it that is great for just storing away in the drawer without it getting icky and will be vital for travelling.
I havent tried the well known make up sponge brand that started all this off...but while this sponge is around and available for repurchase i may never have to.
