I have used other whitening products before (toothpastes, professional teeth whitening product from the dentist) and overall, I am pleased with this product.
The strips were easy to apply, but i noticed right away that they seemed like it would be difficult to keep them on for two hours. The strips felt like they were going to come off, so I just did everything in my power to keep my mouth shut. I wouldn't be able to do anything too complex (no talking) while the strips were in, for fear that they'd come off. But - who says we don't deserve two hours to ourselves?
There was no burning sensation, I was expecting something, since I have sensitive teeth sometimes, but the process was painless. My teeth were noticeably whiter, which was awesome! Two hours, whiter smile = happy!! I'm also really glad that the box comes with enough strips to maintain or "freshen up" every three months, so for a whole year. That makes this product a winner in my books!

This St. Ive's Product is AMAZING! I went to the store while on holiday in BC, looking for St. Ive's Apricot Scrub.. and I found this instead. I'm so glad I did! This is the best face scrub I have ever used! It smooths out any imperfections, and I noticed a real difference after only 3 days. I've since found it here at home, and actually bought another one even though I still have lots left (you don't need a lot of the product when you use it) for fear that I might not be able to find it when I need it! A tad excessive? perhaps, but that just shows how much I love this product! -

As someone who drinks TONS of water each day, getting selected to Product Review the Aquafina plus Vitamins 10 Cal product was a wonderful surprise! I have tried many of the various low cal waters out there as an alternative to shake things up a bit, but overall had been disappointed… Until now! Aquafina has found the perfect balance of flavours I desire in my water. They’re not over-powering, but they’re not so subtle that I missed them either.
At first my favourite was the Fuji Apple with its crisp refreshing taste, followed by Black and Blue Berry which reminded me of a good berry pie, and Strawberry Lemonade was in last place. However, after further review, I now like all three of them equally, and that’s a good thing! It’s still cold here, but I can’t wait to try these flavours on a hot summer day! (I’m partial to things of the strawberry lemonade variety) and historically I’ve found most strawberry lemonades to be too sweet for me, but Aquafina found the perfect balance!
I like the indents in the bottle as well, as they make it easy to hold the bottle, even while walking. As someone who may have a tendency to spill while walking, this is a wonderful development! Also, the weight of the bottle itself is great, because I was able to toss ‘em in my purse to take with me without feeling weighed down.
I find the price to be quite reasonable, taking into consideration the prices of other vitamin waters out there. Aquafina Plus Vitamins is tops in my books in terms of flavor, price, satisfaction over all! And anything that tastes this good with only 10 Calories = BONUS!

I've tried many different self-tanners with high hopes of achieving a realistic summer glow, without basking for hours in the sun, and this is one of the best!
I like that it is reasonably priced, non greasy, goes on smooth, and the colour continues to activate throughout the day. I've been using the product as a daily moisturizer, and the colour really does build/intensify each day.
I was worried that it would make me look orange, being that I'm very fair skinned, but it truly appears to be a natural tan.
My only problem isn't with the product, more with the user (me) I have yet to master how to apply self-tanner to my feet without looking it looking like I've missed spots!

I bought this mascara at Shoppers Drug Mart, in the beauty boutique. It was more expensive than I would normally like to pay for mascara, but I was trying to reach a certain amount to recieve a gift with purchase, so I thought I would give it a try.
First impressions of the product were very good. I like that the packaging is very simple, no plastic, just a cardboard box, which made it easy to get into (no struggle = happy girl)
I was slightly skeptical of the waterproof factor of this mascara, as I had heard good things about the non-waterproof version, and my experiences in the past with various waterproof mascaras hadn't always been great. I was completely blown away by the effectiveness of this waterproof mascara - it really did last!! I would feel comfortable putting it on then watching any Nicholas Sparks movie, and just letting the waterworks go!
This product has also done a great job of thickening my eyelashes, which I love! I recommend this product, but as I said, its a little more of a splurge than I would normally be looking for in a mascara.

I bought this lotion on sale, so the price couldn't be beat. I like that its very moisturizing, yet light enough to use in the summer months. I used it as a daily moisturizer all winter, and it kept my knees and elbows smooth, which was great! I also like that its not sticky, and dries quickly, so when I'm in a hurry (or running late) , I don't have to skip it! -

I was a little hesitant about buying this product, and in fact I bought it as an impluse buy, but I'm glad I did! I got the Raspberry Ice, which is a nice spring/summer gloss, in that its a peachy pink colour with gold shimmer. I like that the sparkles aren't really big, they're small, and just small enough to catch the light and shine!
One downside to this gloss is that I don't wear it on windy days, as because its a bit sticky, my hair gets stuck to my lips.. but other than that, its always in my purse, and I use it every day!

I absolutely adore this product!! I've been using it for about 3 years, and wouldn't use anything else! I love the way it goes on smoothly, and looks completely natural! I also love using two slightly different shades of the foundation, (as suggested) for the most natural look possible!
While on holiday a while back, I was in need of new foundation ( gotta love when you arrive somewhere but your luggage doesn't), but I went the "cheaper" route and bought another type of powder. This turned out to be a horrible decision for me, and I ended up getting the Bare Minerals Foundation after all. Trial and error has me completely convinced that this product is the one for me!

I like that this poduct comes in a pot, and it stands up really well to being tossed in and out of purses! The colour looks really rich, but goes on sheer, so you can layer on a few times to get a stronger colour, but I like it as the hint of colour after one application. Its not sticky or greasy and doesn't stain my fingers when i put it on, BONUS! The Gentle Coral Tinted colour is right on cue for Spring! -
