My skin is usually on the dryer / dehydrated side, and as such is prone to dullness. Brightening products are always calling to me, so I loved that this cleanser offered gentle exfoliation and brightening properties all while cleansing. The texture is very gentle, but does feel effective leaving skin feeling smoother and with continued use, brighter overall. The only thing I didn't love was that this does leave my skin feeling a bit tight after cleansing, meaning it is just a bit drying for my skin right now.

I have been using this deodorant for a little while, and so far I am quite happy with how this performs. Now, I'm not a super sweaty person, but I have found that this works well to keep any odor away, and does seem to leave me feeling dry. I was worried that the scent would be too strong, but it's a nice floral and slightly herbal blend that doesn't overpower. I find the formula to be a little stiff when applying on damp skin, but other than that have no complaints so far.

I regularly use ibuprofen to help deal with PMS and period issues (it's great for reducing supper irritating cramps and can also aid in calming an angry flow) but usually just grab store brand or generic. That said, I'm definitely going to be switching to Motrin as it seems to not only work faster (it felt like it did, but I wasn't doing super scientific testing, so...) and you can get by on just one pill. Yeah, one! I would normally take two or three normal strength pills, but Motirin offers a super strength that actually works well for hours. I don't tend to enjoy my period, but Motrin is a great aid to have around.

I have dealt with drier hair for just about as long as I can remember, and while I do have a decent amount of hair, it's finer in texture. Most products designed for dry hair end up being too heavy and can leave my hair looking flat, lifeless, and sometimes greasy. I am super happy to report that this conditioner did none of those things. The lighter texture doesn't feel like it will be more hydrating than your average formula, but it magically is. I find my hair feels much more hydrated when using this (in combination with the shampoo from this range) and that I still have the same volume and bounce I normally do. I love that the lighter texture is also easy to rinse out, and doesn't take ages to feel completely gone.

I was most excited about this product in the range, as I tend to opt for a conditioning treatment or mask over your basic conditioner. While I have drier hair, I do find so many designed for dry hair are just too heavy for a finer hair texture. Obviously, this range/ product seemed like the perfect formula for me, and it is! I love that this only needs about five minutes to work (although, I like to leave it a bit longer when I can) and that it easily rinses out given its lighter texture. It makes a visible difference in my hair, but doesn't leave it looking greasy or weighed down.

I have dealt with drier hair for just about as long as I can remember, and while I do have a decent amount of hair, it's finer in texture. Most products designed for dry hair end up being too heavy and leave it looking flat (and sometimes greasy.) I am so pleased to say that this leave-in did none of that. I tend to rely on leave-ins quite often as I hate taking the extra time to condition and rinse my hair in the shower. I know, I know, but it's the truth. I love that while this conditioner feels super light, a few pups is all that is needed for a good dose of hydration. It leaves my hair feeling just as soft, hydrated, and manageable as a true conditioning would (when I skip it) but also adds that extra ooph when used after traditional conditioner.

I have dealt with drier hair for just about as long as I can remember, and while I do have a decent amount of hair, it's finer in texture. Most products designed for dry hair end up being too heavy. That said, I was really impressed with the fact that a shampoo could be both really cleansing, and add some moisture back in the process. I didn't really believe a shampoo alone could do such a thing, so I did use it on its own. Yes, it's even better when paired with conditioner, but for a shampoo, I did notice a difference. The only thing I would love to see changed is an additional SLS-free formula (aka something safe for coloured hair.)

I will be completely honest and say that I already knew I liked the Lemonade Canada Dry Gingerale as I tried it last summer. I don't really drink much pop outside of gingerale, so I was happy to try something a little different. The addition of lemonade gives this a fresh twist of lemon, but without being overly sweet. Overall, I'm very pleased to see ti back and will purchase all summer long.

I typically don't like hand cream. I mean, I like the effect of it, but when it comes right down to it, anything with a residue or 'feel' just doesn't work for me. The beauty of this formula is that it is both super light-weight feeling and super clean feeling. It gives a great amount of hydration, but absorbs completely leaving no weird feel or greasiness.

I try a lot of sunscreen formulas every year (the perks of being a beauty blogger) so I'm pretty particular about what I use on the daily (and all year round, at that). I normally don't mind if a formula is hydrating, as I opt to use as moisturizer as well, but I love that this offers enough hydrating to wear on its own. The texture is light, easily absorbed, and most importantly, weightless on skin with a natural finish. The scent is light (although, I would prefer none) and there is no odd white cast on skin.
