My skin has always reacted well to zinc or zinc products. I try to remember to take a zinc tablet every other day and i really notice the difference in my skin when i am on top of my tablet taking!
Do not take this on an empty stomach though! I learned the hard way and sometimes even now i will take it and while my stomach isnt empty it maybe isnt full enough and it makes me want to throw up. It passes in a minute or so but it is an awful feeling. Try to take right after a meal.

Maybelline New York Facestudio Master Strobing Liquid Illuminating Highlighter
I love the highlighted look, especially in summer. But this is just too shimmery for me. I prefer a highlight that is just that..a highlight..not an explosion of glitter on my face. Very disappointed to have spent my money on this as i did have... +

Very disappointed to have spent my money on this as i did have high hopes for it.

Don't get me wrong i am not sitting of an evening having a blue chair bay rum at home but if we are heading camping or to a cottage for a few nights away in summer..we often pick up a bottle of this. Its refreshing and fun and much much nicer than that other well known coconut rum drink in the white bottle.
We only drink this with pineapple juice as a mixer.

My boyfriend is a big kid at heart and this could be one o the reasons he still loves these! I am not a huge ice cream sandwich fan but having tried these and tried stores own versions..i can see why these are more popular.
The ice cream is smooth and the "bread" isn't dry and flaky.
Often on special at the grocery store, this is when i buy them as i find them a little expensive at RRP.

For years (no exaggeration!) we have been drinking Caesars at a bar where we love love love their rimmer. We have asked them time and time again what it is and they never seem to know.
Then on a recent leisurely walk round Costco my boyfriend spotted this and his face lit up. He said that he was sure it was this..it looked like it appearance wise and the taste suddenly made sense to him.
We had been using a different steak spice as our rimmer at home (we dont do just the normal celery salt thing!) but it was never quite right.
Purchased it and went home that night, had a caesar and boom! This is it!
It may sound weird but honestly, try it and you will never go back to any other rimmer!
We will be using this with food too, but we just haven't yet!

NeoStrata Acne Clear Clarifying Gel Cleanser

Let me start by saying..i dont have acne. Dont pass by this product simply because you think "well i dont have acne". Its the ingredient in it that could just do wonders for you - salycylic acid!
I have always suffered with clogged enlarged pores that (TMI coming up) ooze little white stringy things when squeezed. Not blackheads necessarily but just little grey dots that never went away. Further research pointed towards my sebaceous filaments. I have them all over my face, worst on my nose (oh my nose!) and my chin. Not overly noticeable to others im sure but its been the only thing i see every time i look in the mirror for years!
Only in the past year has it really affected my confidence and i resolved to fix it. With NeoStrata i think i am well on the way!
I was put onto this product by a helpful Shoppers Drug Mart skincare gal. I was asking about something with salycylic acid in and she pointe me to this. I always thought NeoStrata was out of my budget but its really much cheaper than i imagined. It was on sale when she told me about it but i didn't get it right away, i wanted to do some research. Then i went back in and it was on an even better sale. Ive been back since and its on sale again!
I have been using this for around a week and already see a big difference. The first few days i used every night and it was maybe a bit of a shock to my skin so for now i am on every other night, but may go back to every night, im going to listen to my skin. I wash my face with a gentle cleanser first (not this), to take any make up off. Then i take a small amount of this and massage it into my skin for around 30 seconds then rinse off. My skin does feel a little tight after use but i have very dehydrated skin anyway so im not surprised by this and its not necessarily down to this product.
My skin looks brighter and clearer and i think (i hope) its only going to get better!

This is a good healthier option cereal. Its not laden with sugar, nasties and colourings.
Personally i much prefer their wholegrain version but my boyfriend loves this one so i find myself eating it rather than opening a different box.
I do like to snack on this dry though.
Its one of the cheapest cereals around and its always on special/offer.

I couldn't drink 3 or 4 of these as i would find it too sweet/sickly after a few but 1 or 2 is perfect!
We often take this if we are going to a party/friends and take a selection of beers.
A great summer drink!

Bought this because it was on sale making it cheaper than the hot sauce we always use (well known brand name one!) and we really liked it.
We felt it had a smokier on tangier flavour than our regular one, but we liked that!
Use it on eggs, salads, nachos, tacos, pasta salads, pizza - works a treat!
Wont hesitate to buy in the future!

I am really enjoying this mask, which is a bit of a surprise as Vichy hasn't worked well for me in the past.
I like how quick it is (you're only meant to leave it on for 5 or so minutes) and that it doesnt dry down to a hard chunky format like other clay masks do.
Make sure to not leave on for too long..i read that you shouldnt really wait for it to dry down completely because if you do, this kind of means the skin underneath is getting dried out.
At first when i used it i noticed a slight tingle/sting which made me worry..but i went with it and my skin has loved it so far. I find it easy to remove and it has no offensive scent.
It leaves my skin really soft and noticeably brighter (even after the first use). I have used this 4 or 5 times so still waiting to see if it gives long term improvement - but so far so good!
Vichy..you won me over!
