I've had mixed results with serums for the past 5 or so years after I turned 40. My skin became more sensitive and I had real issues with redness and dryness, especially around my mouth. I could only use a serum in certain spots daily or all over once every 3 days. I was excited to try the sample of the Vichy Idealia Life serum I received and have been so pleased with the results. No redness or dryness after3 weeks of daily use. It absorbs well and works great under make up and sunscreen. My skin as been noticeably softer and smoother with the night cream and serum combination. And I love the light scent and texture. Definitely a great product for happy, moisturized mid-40's skin. -
Caffe Vergnano 1882 Espresso K-cups
I have only seen these at Metro in my small town and picked them up as they were on sale. They have a bold style, dark roast and full flavour. Good value at $0.60 a cup.

The mascara comes through with the promised softness as my lashes are not at all stiff wearing ths product. And there isn't much clumping either which I am always looking for. It doesn't really provide great depth of coverage so looks like I'm not wearing any mascara at all.
Bought this full price ($10.99) at Christmas and used the P&G;$1.00 off coupon. Better deal the last few weeks at $6.99 on sale with the coupon. Not worth $11 but $6 for sure.
Good for work, not for going out.

L'Oreal Paris Voluminous Miss Manga Mascara
I love trying new mascaras but somehow always end up finding a flaw. Sometimes it's minor and I can deal with it, but sometimes it's a complete no-go. This new mascara was no different, but thanfully the former. The formula is the stand out for me... +
I love trying new mascaras but somehow always end up finding a flaw. Sometimes it's minor and I can deal with it, but sometimes it's a complete no-go. This new mascara was no different, but thanfully the former.
The formula is the stand out for me. I liked the feel and texture, but it does dry quickly. As i have long lashes, I need a mascara wand that is sturdy and that is what I didn't like - too much flex in the brush affected the application. The coating was fine and not too much clumping.
I would buy it again.

Saw these at Your Independent Grocer and decided to pick them up to try as I'm always on the lookout for new K-cups. They only had the Yaletown blend at Independent but the website shows another four blends.
The taste was quite good with a fruity note for sure. It was a nice dark roast and not too acidic. There were no issues with leakage from the cups in my Keurig machines, which sometimes happens with the aftermarket brands.
Overall a thumbs up and I will keep my eyes open for more blends.

I'm always on the look out for a good, cheap facial scrub, and I keep coming back to St. Ives. The apricot is a nice scent, and the light version is good for sensitive skin. I use it after a run, and on rough spots on my body (elbows, knees). And because it comes in a trial size, I bring it with me on vacation. -

This is a great concealer product, and I've tried a ton so I should know. There are lots of matches to your skin colour/tone, and it blends really well. The applicator sponge goes in to a tube, so you only apply the amount you need. It works under and on top of foundation, if you need extra coverage. -
