I found this product at one of my local IGA stores and was immediately intrigued. The avocado is comfort food for me, so the fact that I found an avocado oil in a spray format was even better. I must say, this product makes the best grill cheese sandwiches ever, and I will definitely buy it again because of that. -

I saw this product at my local grocery store, needed some anyway to prepare for the next day's early morning, so I picked it up.
First thing, the can. The beautiful white drew me in immediately. It's a perfect colour for a winter product launch, especially in the northern parts of North America (because, winter).
Once you open the can, that's when the magic begins. This stuff is tasty! Imagine coconut water mixed with berry juice...IMHO, very, very good. So not only does the can draw you in because of an association to winter, the stuff inside takes you away to a far away tropical land. It's a treat both for the eyes and for the palate! ^_^

NIVEA MicellAIR Water for Dry and Sensitive Skin

I really hate to do this, but I need to be very harsh here. I hated this product.
In all honesty, it's a great product. It's so lightly perfumed that the odor is almost unnoticeable. It's effective, it cleanses well but not too well, and most importantly, it doesn't leave a residue.
Now for the subjective review: this product didn't work with my skin at all. My facial skin type is combination/sensitive, and I was sent dry/sensitive. I tried it anyway (see the results above) but got a pimple the first time I tried. So...as I said, great product, but I definitely won't be buying it, at least not in this formula.

This is an excellent product for dry skin.
I have a shower that always runs hot no matter what I try to do to adjust it. While this is a fantastic thing when all I want is a hot shower, it has the unfortunate side effect of leaving me with chronically dry skin.
Enter the giant pot of Nivea cream that I was given to test...which is one of the best in its category. It's very, very effective, absorbs very quickly, doesn't leave a residue, is not overly perfumed. The only drawback is that it's too rich for the face, unless the face in question is super dry or facing extreme cold or dry conditions.
Overall, excellent product. I'd like to know what the retail price is...this stuff will be hard to replace when I run out!

Cottonelle Ultra Comfort Care* Double Roll Toilet Paper, 18 Rolls
I'm getting down to the end of this pack of 12 double rolls, and in all honesty, I can't wait to be finished. This is a high quality toilet paper, I'll give it that much. It's soft, effective, thick, and easy to use. However - and this is the reason... +
I'm getting down to the end of this pack of 12 double rolls, and in all honesty, I can't wait to be finished. This is a high quality toilet paper, I'll give it that much. It's soft, effective, thick, and easy to use. However - and this is the reason I hate this product so much - the design of each new roll. It's horrendously difficult to start a new roll; the end is so glued down that the user has to dig for it, removing several layers in the process. It's tremendously frustrating for me, a normal consumer, so I can't imagine how a disabled consumer would fare with it... -

One day, I was looking for my next face wash, and found this one. It was on sale, making its price even more budget-friendly. I have sensitive skin prone to dehydration, so I was happy to see that it was formulated for skin like mine.
The product itself lived up to its promises! The texture is smooth and rich (but not too rich) and effective without being drying. The only issue that I have is with the pump; when the liquid is low but not empty, the pump doesn't work as well. This is an annoyance more than a problem and is easily solved by changing the angle when pumping.

I had had my eye on this product for several weeks then picked it up during a bigger-than-normal grocery shop (cardinal rule: never go grocery shopping while hungry). No regrets, because this product was very tasty to the point of temporary addiction.
Yes, it's that good, if you follow the directions and use the appropriate amount. If you use too much powder, not only will it be cloyingly sweet but you'll have a not-so-pleasant aftertaste. If you use less powder, the taste will be diluted, which is pleasant and leaves room for additions; for example, lemon juice, ginger ale, vodka, maybe even rose water?
Overall, this product is refreshing and a very good value. Good thing too, it took me about 5 days to finish the 715g bag!

Captain Morgan Spiced Brew Root Beer
For the person who wants alcohol but isn't interested in beer or wine, this is a great choice. Captain Morgan Spiced Brew collection offers three flavours: Root Beer, Cola, and Ginger Ale. I love root beer anyway, so this one is a natural choice... +
For the person who wants alcohol but isn't interested in beer or wine, this is a great choice. Captain Morgan Spiced Brew collection offers three flavours: Root Beer, Cola, and Ginger Ale. I love root beer anyway, so this one is a natural choice. The others are good as well, but IMHO this is the best. -

This wonderful frozen treat has become one of my favourite items on the McDonald's menu, as well as a summer staple. When it was launched, I was a McFlurry fan, but after I tasted the Chai Frappé I was hooked. I'm already a fan of Chai in tea form, and when McDonald's launched a product which resembles both a Flurry and a milkshake but with the spicy Chai flavour, I couldn't resist. -
Heinz Seriously Good Mayonnaise
I was at the grocery store looking for something else, and when I didn't find the item I was looking for, I just started wandering the aisles. I found myself in the mayonnaise aisle, and saw something new...mayonnaise from Heinz, and in a glass jar!... +
I was at the grocery store looking for something else, and when I didn't find the item I was looking for, I just started wandering the aisles. I found myself in the mayonnaise aisle, and saw something new...mayonnaise from Heinz, and in a glass jar! It was a good price, and even had a coupon associated with it.
This stuff is amazing, by the way wonderful texture and flavour. Way to go Heinz!
