This deodorant is all-around great. I love that it is naturally friendly, with no aluminum, and used natural scents. It is also vegan and not tested on animals. The packaging itself is aesthetically pleasing and pleasant to hold as it is smooth with rounded edges. The scent is so nice, not too overpowering but just enough to cover up stinky armpits. It glides on easily and doesn’t leave marks behind. -

This really works for sensitive teeth, and although I haven’t yet noticed a significant change in whiteness, I believe I will have to use it longer than a couple weeks to see that difference. The toothpaste leaves my mouth feeling fresh and my teeth aren’t sensitive even after eating cold things like ice cream. -

I received a 7-day sample of this serum to try from Butterly/Chickadvisor. This serum packs a punch! It has 21 different plant extracts. In just 7 days, I have noticed a slight reduction in fine lines and more of a glow to my complexion. The texture is easy to spread on the face, and the scent is quite nice. I tested the product using sample packs, which were easy enough to use, but I can’t comment on the bottle format that it is sold in. -

This bar soap is aesthetically pleasing with a light green colour to match the aloe mist name and scent. True to its description, it provides lasting deodorant powers. It has a strong scent that wafts out when you open the cardboard box that contains it. I left it in the bathroom on my counter before using it as soap and it actually worked well as a freshener for the bathroom, that’s how strong the scent is. When used as soap, it was a good shape with a curve to it that allowed for it to easily glide over the arms and legs. It felt very moisturizing when lathered onto the skin, and left a fresh scent that lasts. -

I have been using this cleansing oil sample of Shu Uemura before bed. I have combination skin with my T spots tending to be oily and have acne, whereas the rest of my face gets dry. I used this cleansing oil on my whole face, and emulsified then washed off with water. The oil itself is lightweight and felt really nice on the skin. It also has a pleasant scent to it, not too strong or artificial. I was worried that since it is an oil, it would cause breakouts, but the mornings after using the product, I ended up with soft skin that wasn’t oily at all! And no breakouts! What I think could be improved about the product is perhaps the packaging. This bottle has a little hole where you can pour the oil out but the bottle itself isn’t squeezable so you have to shake it. It is also hard to read what’s on the bottle because the text is small and mostly in Japanese. I couldn’t find any instructions in English describing how to use it, so I had to go online to Sephora website to find it. Turns out you can buy this size bottle at Sephora - but I’d recommend going with the larger pump format for ease of use, if you’ve already tried and know it works for your skin. -

I absolutely love the rose gold colour and the whole aesthetic of this product. Looks kind of like a lipstick but bigger - so easy to toss into your purse for an on-the-go facial hair remover. Never have to worry about showing up somewhere with unwanted hairs! When I used it, I found that it was gentle on my skin. I applied as directed in circular motions and could barely feel anything, yet when I looked, my hairs were gone! The only thing I didn’t really like was that it uses an AA battery. Most of the things I use now are usb chargeable and I don’t have many spare batteries laying around. I like the convenience of usb charging. But at least the product comes with an AA battery so it’s ready to use straight out of the package! -

I love that this Batiste dry shampoo is made of natural extracts. It smells quite lovely, to me kind of like peaches and fresh summer air. I went a few days without washing my hair to let it get oily so I could do a true test of whether this product works. I found the spray easy to use and the smell pleasant. It helped reduce the oily look of my hair, but if you have dandruff just know that it doesn’t get rid of your dandruff for you! Unfortunately, the product irritated my scalp and it was itchy for the next 24 hours or so. Which means this product isn’t for me. But I do love that this product has 40% less packaging to reduce environmental impact. -

I’ll start by saying my baby (between 6-12 mos old) has had digestive issues since they were born. From reflux, to gas pain, to constipation after starting solids…the digestive issues have been an ongoing thing! So baby probiotics are super important for our household, because we have found that it definitely helps. Our baby has actually had the @orangenaturals colic drops, which we used to administer when they were crying from stomach pain in the night. That one was really good, and had to be kept refrigerated.

Now onto the Probiotics + Vitamin D drops! I really like the 10ml format, because there are some that sell 5ml and that is way too little, if giving to baby every day. I like that it is stable at room temperature, and does not need to be refrigerated. I tried a couple drops myself and it tastes like oil, slightly grainy, with a mild flavour. My baby didn’t mind the flavour at all - licked it right up off the spoon. The only thing I didn’t like was the bottle itself. When I turned it upside down to drop into baby’s mouth, nothing came out! I had to shake it but then the aim was off and baby had closed their mouth already. I ended up having to shake some onto a spoon, and spoon-feed instead. I think the product would be more user-friendly if it could be squeezed out, or if the drops came out more readily. And it’s not from lack of shaking - I gave it many many good shakes before turning upside down! Overall, I like @orangenaturals products and see it as a brand I trust for my baby’s health

It’s refreshing and although it’s unsweetened, I found that it was naturally a little bit sweet and can be enjoyed on its own. I like that it’s zero calories, fizzy, and adds some flavour to other drinks such as alcohol. I tried it with apple juice and it made for a delightful drink on a summer day -

When I took the first bite, I was delighted with the taste of coffee chocolate. It was so good I had to refill my bowl! It is no sugar added, and I definitely could not tell the difference from the regular sugar added ice cream, as the sweetness was perfect. In terms of the lactose free, I found this ice cream to be lighter (less creamy, more of an airy consistency) than the regular cream ice creams. If it tasted creamier, I would have probably given 5 stars. Overall, I really enjoyed this lactose free ice cream and am happy that there are so many lactose free options. -
