Shade 44 is a very light pink, that is almost too light for my pale lips and skin, but it layers beautifully with the other shade, so if I need a deeper cool/neutral tone, I layer 44 over 150 and get a deeper pink tone. The lipstick feels like a tinted lip balm, just slightly more tinted. It's hydrating and comfortable to wear and fits perfectly into my natural makeup looks. It doesn't feather, but being hydrating, it wears off pretty quickly, depending on how much I eat and drink. It adds colour and shine to my lips, making them look slightly fuller. I will definitely be trying some darker shades, these are fantastic lipsticks. -

The Daily moisturizing cream has a normal lotion texture, but also absorbs fast and doesn't leave any residue on the skin. It's great for daily use after showers, as I can get dressed immediately and my clothes don't stick to my skin (I'm sure you know what I'm talking about). It really helps with itchiness and soothes the skin. I love that it's steroid and fragrance free! -

The Rescue relief gel is a very thin liquid that I was afraid would sting, since it seemed water based, but it doesn't. It's actually advertised as cooling and this is TRUE. I always consider lotions and cream cooling, but this cools on a whole other level, without any menthol that is usually in cooling products. It's very soothing and relieved itchiness for a little while, depending on the severity. It also absorbs immediately and fully, without any stickiness or film on the skin, which is great for hands a feet, since my daughter dislikes feeling any product there, especially on her hands. Lastly, I love the pump bottle, it makes it faster to apply to a squirming child. -

I really wanted to love this sunscreen, since it's not easy to find a mineral sunscreen that is SPF 50. I like it OK, and would use it when I need stronger protection, but it's not my favourite. The texture is nice, it comes out quite runny out of the tube, but feels thicker on the face. It rubs in well and I don't feel it much on the skin. However, when I use the recommended amount it leaves a white cast, even on my really pale skin. It gets slightly better after a while, but definitely makes me look ghostly. Luckily, make up goes over it quite well, so I can back some colour to my face. The combination of zinc oxide and titanium dioxide is great, as this sunscreen doesn't dry out my skin like pure zinc oxide ones do. I'm pretty sure this is unscented, since I didn't notice any scent and it's made for sensitive skin. In short, I would recommend it, but expect some white cast. -

I know it's not the most important thing about a deodorant, but I have to start by saying that I LOVE this scent. I usually reach for fresh scents when it comes to deodorants, so I was surprised by how much I love this one. The rose and vanilla smells yummy, sweet and fresh, but not overwhelming. This is emphasized by a fresh, cooling feeling upon application, as the stick is firm, but feels like a gel. It keeps me fresh for about half a day, which is what I expect from a deodorant, as I naturally sweat a lot. It works ok if reapplied, but better if I wash up before reapplying. The container is made of recycled plastic, which is great, and it's easy to adjust the deodorant up or down. It's tall and top heavy, so somewhat prone to tipping over. I have somewhat sensitive underarms, so I appreciate that it's baking-soda free. I would repurchase! -
CLEAN RESERVE H2EAU Nectarine Petal

This perfume is so lovely, a little bit sweet, a little bit floral, but not too overpowering and dare I say, a bit fresh, too. It's the perfect spring scent, and I've reached for it on every sunny day we've had since I received it about a week ago. As I suffer from migraines, I love that I can smell this perfume without getting a headache, and my dry skin loves that it doesn't contain any alcohol. The rollerball applicator makes it easy to apply the perfume exactly where I want it, and the sleek bottle is great for traveling or carrying in my purse for reapplication. I find that it lasts for about half a day, which I expected since it's not too strong. I will probably buy it again once I run out. -

I've been having this coffee in the afternoons for a few days, and I tried it in different ways. The coffee has a bold flavour, but it's not as strong as some other dark roasts I've tried and it's not bitter. It's also very easy to make. I like that I can customize it to suit my mood. It's great that the measurements can be easily adjusted for those that like their coffee stronger (or weaker, but I don't know anyone like that). -
CLEAN RESERVE H2EAU Golden Citrus

I love citrus perfumes and own a few. Somehow, this one is still different from all the others I use. I starts off very fresh and bright, but it's also a bit flowery and dries down earthy. I would actually prefer it even zestier, but it's nice to have some variety among the perfumes I'm using. I love that this smaller bottle is a rollerball and not a spray, so I can control the amount better. It's also easier to apply it to pulse points on my neck without spraying my whole neck and chest. The bottle doesn't leak. As someone with dry skin, I love that the perfume is water based and doesn't contain alcohol, which is so rare to find. I will explore their other fragrances in the future.

My daughter has eczema, and a lot of usual body care products can sting her dry skin, especially during flare-ups, even if they're for kids. This Aveeno baby eczema care moisturizing cream has a nice lightweight consistency that absorbs fast, like a lotion, but doesn't sting at all. I love that she can get dressed right away without feeling sticky. Using daily, this cream helps keep her dry skin nice and soft, and she doesn't seem to be as itchy. Bear in mind that this is not for flare-ups, though, but for dry, itchy skin that normally accompanies eczema. For us it works well and we'll be buying it again. -

I really liked this product as an SPF. It feels a bit lighter than other mineral SPFs I've tried, and blends quite well. It doesn't look white on my skin, due to it being very slightly tinted, and it doesn't feel heavy on my skin. Makeup goes over it really well. It somewhat evens out my skin, but I have other products that do this better. Unfortunately, it doesn't feel as a moisturizer at all, and if I don't use my usual skincare underneath it, my skin feels quite dry. For reference, I have dry/combo skin, so for someone with less dryness this may work, although I really don't think it would. So I can recommend it as a great SPF, but not as a moisturizer. -
