I have tried the Garnier Clearly Brighter Brightening & Smoothing Daily Moisturizer for a week and did find it to be a good moisturizer.
It has a nice citrus scent to it that is not overpowering. It has the consistency of a slightly heavier face cream but it did absorb quickly into the skin. I did find it was a little oiler than what I normally use, so my skin tended to look a little shinier quicker than what it would normally be in the course of a day. With a little make up, that wouldn't be an issues.
I like the added SPF 15 for the anti-aging protection or my skin. The lotion did a good job of moisturizing and didn't irritate my skin or cause me any break outs. I am not sure my skin is brighter looking, but it does the job of a good facial moisturizer.
All in all, a good product.

I was not familiar with the Garnier Micellar Cleansing Water (regular) but I am now going to adding it to my facial cleaning regime!
I like that it is as simple as pour, press, and wipe! I can remove my makeup in just a few minutes without having to really scrub my skin. The Garnier Micellar cleaning water leaves my skin feeling hydrated and soft while doing the job of removing my make up.
I was also impressed it worked well removing my waterproof mascara - which can sometimes be a challenge with other cleansers.
I can report I didn't experience any irritation to my skin or suffer from any breakouts while using the product. There is not really a scent to the product, so that is also a bonus.
All in all; a gentle cleaner that has some power to it!

I had heard such great things about Batiste dry shampoo but my experience with it still surprised me!
The most important part (beyond the great smell!) is the fact that this product ACTUALLY works! I have tried many dry shampoos out on the market, and I found Batiste to be the most effective of the lot & best value for it's cost.
While your hair wont look freshly washed, the spray will allow you to pep up your hair and allow you to skip a day or maybe two of washing.
The only downfall - it does tend to leave a little bit of a white residue on your hair - not too bad for light haired ladies, but it may not blend as well with darker hair if you aren't cautious about brushing it through your hair.

Special K BBQ Cracker Chips
I am in LOVE with these crackers! They are the perfect alternative to potato chips when you still want a great salty snack! They are low in fat and calories, but still high in taste. Very satisfying.

I was quite surprised to pour a glass and find that the consistency of the Coconut Dream was consistent with milk! I was expecting a more watered down version, closer to almond milk. Pleasant surprise!
Taste wise, I was quite happy with the creamy texture and smooth taste. Definitely NO aftertaste like you get with some other dairy alternatives.
The Coconut Dream also mixed perfectly into my coffee (it will 'curdle' slightly but it's not a big deal) and provided a nice dairy alternative for that.
Nutritionally, it is nice and low in calories (for the unsweetened version) but the fat content was a little high at 5g per serving! It may not be suitable for all diets for that reason, but perfectly fine for me anyhow as an occasional drink or in my coffee.

I was INCREDIBLY impressed with the Scotch Essentials permanent hem bonding strips! I can immediately say they will be a staple in my home.
As a shorter gal, I end up having to have someone hem the majority of my pants. The strips (while maybe taking a wee bit to get the hang of to perfect a straight hem) are lifesavers for me to quickly fix up a pair of pants and save some money and time from having to take them to the tailor or have a family member fix them up.
Very quick and easy to use!

Scotch Essentials Easy Fix Button
I really love the idea - I loosened a button up on a blouse to trial it out; and it did hold for a night out! I am not sure of the long term staying power; but definitely good in a quick temp fix!

I am 100% sold on the Canada Dry Club Soda Lemon-Lime!
It has a nice, light and crisp taste that is not over powering or artificial tasting. For being unsweetened, it was not tart or bitter - just perfect and light. At only 45 mg of sodium in one can - it lives up to it's low sodium claims!
I would highly recommend this soda as an alternative to sugary sodas, plain water or even a nice change from regular club soda!

I trialed the Coppertone Sunscreen Lotion Sensitive Skin for Faces with SPF 50; my first impression was that it was a little too thick for my liking. It took a little bit of work to really work into my skin for this reason, and did leave me looking a little white! A little goes a long way!
I could feel the lotion on my skin, even after a few minutes of being on (rather than absorbing into the skin) - but it was not sticky feeling and covered up under make up.
As far as how it worked - I didnt experience any break outs from the product, skin irritation/discomfort and it protected me from burning on the days I was out in the hot sun!
All in all, it worked really well, but it was a little too thick for my personal liking!
