I was in the market for a new face cream and was excited to try this one. Like the name says, it is pretty weightless and quite hydrating at the same time. It was slightly thicker than I was looking for and I could still feel it on my face hours later. I didn't wear makeup over it when I tried the cream, but I got the feeling that it might feel too heavy if I did wear makeup that day.
I am happy to see that CoverGirl no longer sells in China and has been certified by Leaping Bunny as cruelty-free. Given that information, I am comfortable recommending this brand!

This cream is very light and gets the job done. I don't usually use lotion on my face because it gets very oily, but I've been using this cream in the winter when my skin is a little drier and it does the trick without being heavy or oily on my face. It smells like rose which is a bit of a turnoff for me but it isn't overpowering. -

So far I have only used the Splat Pink Mist hair colour but I really like it and am excited to try other colours! It is a deep, vibrant pink and when it eventually fades, it fades to an attractive pinkish violet. My hair doesn’t hold dye very well so I don’t have high expectations for long-lasting colour, and crazy colours don’t last forever anyway, so don’t go in assuming one dye will last you a year. -
AVEENO® Restorative Skin Therapy Repairing Cream
I received this repairing cream as a free sample. It is effective as a moisturizing lotion and I appreciate that it is true to its word on being completely unscented! Unfortunately, even though it says paraben-free, it still has a bit of a waxy... +
I received this repairing cream as a free sample. It is effective as a moisturizing lotion and I appreciate that it is true to its word on being completely unscented! Unfortunately, even though it says paraben-free, it still has a bit of a waxy feeling.
Aveeno's animal testing policy says that they do not conduct animal testing except where governments or laws require it. This says to me that Aveeno sells to Mainland China where animal testing is required by law. Aveeno is owned by Johnson & Johnson, which has a similar animal testing policy. Because this company is not 100% cruelty-free, I cannot recommend this product.

I have used this product for both headache and menstrual pain relief. Every time I have taken them I have noticed results very quickly and I have been able to focus on my day instead of how I felt. My one complaint is that the capsules are quite large and uncomfortable to swallow. -

I actually didn't realize this product is unsweetened; the flavour is absolutely unaffected by the lack of added sweetener! It's really tasty and sweet. I was anticipating the consistency to be grainy or chunky, especially because they advertise its fibre, but I was happy to find this is not the case – it's very smooth. I buy apple sauce every once in a while and I think I will switch to buying this brand in the future. -
The Body Shop Tea Tree Night Lotion

I love this night lotion; I’m so glad I discovered it years ago. I hate wearing other face lotions to bed because of how greasy they make my face feel. This lotion does not do that at all; I barely notice it’s there! Plus the scent is very pleasant. My partner hates the smell of tea tree oil, but likes this one! -
Degree® Men UltraClear Black + White 72H Fresh Antiperspirant Deodorant Dry Spray
I use both men's and women's spray antiperspirant, and I find that Degree Men has a more forceful spray than the women's variety. I'm not sure if they were going for a more "manly" strength to the spray or what. Besides that (which isn't a big deal... +
I use both men's and women's spray antiperspirant, and I find that Degree Men has a more forceful spray than the women's variety. I'm not sure if they were going for a more "manly" strength to the spray or what. Besides that (which isn't a big deal, just thought I'd share), I like the product a lot. The scent isn't overwhelming like a lot of men's scents. It lasts all day.
I do like the product itself; however, I must disclose that I do not support Unilever as a brand. While they have made a statement saying they do not test their products on animals, they do however use ingredients that may have been tested on animals, and they sell into Mainland China, who requires animal testing on many imported products. Degree is one of their brands that has not been certified by PETA or Leaping Bunny as Cruelty-Free. Until Unilever chooses to stop supporting the use of ingredients from countries that test on animals, I cannot recommend this product.

This is the worst spray antiperspirant/deodorant I have ever used. The scents are attractive, which is why I bough them, but they are a disaster to use. When I spray onto my underarms, it dries into some sort of white powdery residue almost immediately and flakes off getting everywhere. I actually couldn't figure out where all this white powder was coming from all over my clothes and floor because I never expected a spray antiperspirant/deodorant to have that kind of effect. I bought two bottles and will not be finishing either of them.
I must disclose that I do not support Procter & Gamble as a brand. While they have made a statement saying they do not test their products on animals, sell into Mainland China, who requires animal testing on many imported products. Secret is one of their brands that has not been certified by PETA or Leaping Bunny as Cruelty-Free. Until Procter & Gamble chooses to stop doing business with countries that require animal testing, I cannot recommend this product.

Vichy Mineral 89 Skin Fortifying Daily Booster

I got this as a sample so I admit that I did not use it for more than four or five days. Perhaps if I had used it longer I would have seen more of an effect. I unfortunately did not notice many benefits of this product. It feels very fresh on my skin, but if I put foundation on over it, it and the makeup rolled off in my fingers making me feel like I had a layer of stuff on my face. I ended up using it only on days that I wasn't wearing makeup, and that was fine but not ideal.
The product itself is fine; however, I must disclose that I do not support L'Oréal as a brand. While they have made a statement saying they do not test their ingredients on animals, they do however sell into Mainland China, who requires animal testing on many imported products. Vichy Laboratories is one of their brands that has not been certified by PETA or Leaping Bunny as Cruelty-Free. Until L'Oréal chooses to stop doing business with countries that require animal testing, I cannot recommend this product.
