I normally use natural deodorants. This is my first time trying a large brands more conscious deodorant. It is much like I expected...the container is really nice but the product I find is too wet. I have to dry before I put on a shirt. I find it works for a few hours but by the end of work I am aware that I was warm all Day. If this were a bit drier it would be nice. The smell is good (I got coconut and pink jasmine) and the applicator is comfortable. -

Sunscreen usually turns me off due to the consistency and smells,but this stuff is nice. it's just like the hydra boost lotion,except in a sunscreen. I tried this today, and even though I was only outside for less than 10 minutes, I could feel it working. I'm super light skin and I burn easily and I can feel the burn happening,but I felt protected with this product. It smells better than the lotion actually and I would recommend it. It's not sticky or uncomfortable at all. -

This is one thing I've received that I can definitely say I'd buy again!
Now I know it says hand cream, but I actually just ran out of body lotion when I received this, so I used this as a body lotion after my shower. Sometimes a hand cream used as a body lotion is not a good idea, but this stuff was excellent! My skin, genuinely, has never been softer!
I love the texture and consistency of this product. I like the gel cream aspect. I don't love the smell though. It's very mild, so it's acceptable, but it's almost chemically. Once it dries and seeps in, though, there's no lingering smell, so it's fine.
If this came in a giant body lotion size, it would be my go-to definitely! A little goes a long way and there's no residue but your skin feels hydrated. Winner!

These are adorable! I would recommend buying a pack of these if you are a traveller. They're tiny little packages with one wipe in them, so environmentally, I'd never suggest buying them for everyday use. I would recommend having a regular large size makeup remover for everyday and keeping a pack of these on hand for overnight trips or vacations. I got these at the perfect timing for an overnight trip. I only brought a small bag so the tiny packaging was perfect.
The effectiveness of the product itself is very good. I wear heavy eyeshadow with base and waterproof mascara and everything came off with no residue or chunky eyelashes in the morning. The smell is light and pleasant.
All in all this is a nice product that I would recommend bringing on trips or in your purse.

I tried the set of hand masks and was excited as I use this type of product often. Usually they're made from a fabric-type material, but these were no-drip, so it was actually like a plastic bag of lotion. I didn't like the sensation of sticking my hand into a bag of lotion and it felt weird and sweaty. I would not buy these due to the plastic waste, but the effectiveness was high. My hands were super soft after.
I do think that a bottle of aveeno lotion would be just as effective though without the one time use plastic.

I received a set of foot masks and was excited to try them. I usually use this type of product and love it because you don't have to wash anything off. The difference in these compared to the type I usually use is that they're 'no-drip', which is because they are essentially plastic bags of lotion you strap to your feet.
I did not find the plastic feeling appealing and they looked like burn unit covers while on. This is my complaint about them. I found them uncomfortable, and since they didn't breathe it felt almost like your foot was just in a sweaty bag. When I took them off though, the formula was really nice and my feet were definitely soft and hydrated.
I do feel like I'd get the same result using a deep moisturizer and could avoid the plastic waste. I would not recommend and would not buy for myself.

I bought this on a whim yesterday while leaving shoppers drug mart. I had been looking for a similar product previously and this caught my eye.
We're not allowed to wear nail polish at work and due to my nature of work my nails become weak and have started peeling, even though I previously had beautiful nails. Anyhow...I was looking for something to soothe the dryness of the nail and nail bed that wasn't a pen and wasn't a polish. This is a nice, paint on oil complex that seriously hydrates! After just one night of use (put on before bed, left on overnight) the areas that were peeling look so much more hydrated and my finger tips weren't dry and flaky when I woke up! Also it's peony scented! I love this and I hope it continues to impress me!

I have been using this product for about two weeks now since receiving my free trial.
The first week I decided I would use it as a serum. The instructions suggest using your normal face cream first, then applying the serum after. The first thing I noticed was it smelled really nice. The formula is not overly oily like I was expecting, more of a dry oil consistency.
I mixed and applied as instructed, ready to start my day, but I find as a serum, with no makeup applied after, it left my face incredibly shiny! Mirror like even. It did seep in well but the shine remained. It's effectiveness wasn't anything notable as a serum, but maybe after long term use it would be pretty noticable.
The second week I used it as a primer. I applied as instructed and used full face makeup the first day. I found it helped my foundation grip to my face and I was very pleased with its effectiveness. No makeup transfer was noticed at all and I'd say it holds itself up to any high end brand primer! The second day I only added a transparent powder to my face afterward and it took away all the previously mentioned shine, and left me looking more alert and ready for work!
My only complaint about this product would be that the dispenser is messy. It's just an open hole at the top. After you mix the product and open,you flip it over quickly to get some drops out. It can get onto the bottle because of this, and when you close it, air kind of pushes out of the cap and lightly spurts the product around the twist of the closure, so the next time you open it, it's ready to run out a bit.
This is an effective primer for sure. I probably wouldn't buy it though because it contains soy complex, which I guess is a selling point for aveeno, but I try to steer clear of soy because of the claims of its interference with estrogen production.
In conclusion, I love this as a primer and do not love it as a serum.

I have been using this cleanser for about two weeks now. It smells very nice. It comes in a pretty large size bottle as far as cleansers go, so good value. The packaging is attractive. The dispenser is designed nicely and doesn't make a mess. It is a gel consistency but it foams up to a rich lather,making your face feel clean and refreshed.
As far as creating a glow, I cannot attest to that. I haven't noticed too much of a difference in my skin but I am still satisfied with the effectiveness. I mean, it cleans your face...I do use a daily scrub along with a cleanser everyday and have continued my routine with this product.
One very positive thing I can say is it doesn't super dry my face after use like some other things. It seems gentle yet it does its job!

This tea is very yummy. I stock this often. I find it very clarifying for brain fog and it's very wholesome. A good tea with quality ingredients. I often buy this as an alternative to an early evening black tea, when I know I'll be going to bed earlier. Thumbs up all around! -
