This product has become my favourite, go-to, eye make up remover!
It is effective at removing all of my eye makeup (liquid liner and water-proof mascara) without irritating my eyes. Other eye make-up removers I have tried in the past do not fully remove my make-up or only do so when the eye area is rubbed quickly hard. With this product I do not have to scrub at all to remove the make-up.
The product is gentle on this sensitive skin and even leaves the area feeling moisturized.
I will definitely continue purchasing this product in the future.

I was very excited to try this product as I have been hearing so much about Micellar Water and I love the philosophy of Simple Skincare to use only natural ingredients that are gentle even on sensitive skin.
I was pretty impressed with this product. I enjoy the nice cool and refreshing feeling after using this product.
The product works quite well at removing regular make up though I did have a little difficult with removing my eye make up. I found that it did not work very well at removing my liquid liner and mascara and that I had to use an eye make up remover first to ensure that it was fully removed.
That said I am very happy with the quality of the product and how it makes my skin feel after use. It leaves my skin feeling smooth and soft. I particularly enjoy using this product in the mornings.
I would definitely recommend this product to others looking for something that leaves the skin cleansed and moisturized. I love the fact that this product does not dry out my skin at all the way that most traditional cleansers do.

I was excited to try this product as I have been hearing a lot of Micellar and am still on the search for good remover wipes.
I was somewhat disappointed with this product however. I did not find any added benefit or it to be more effective than any other wipe I have tried in the past.
I found that the wipes left my skin slightly sticky feeling. They were also not effective at removing my eyeliner and mascara. While soft on all other parts of my skin they did leave my eyes a little red and irritated from the rubbing of trying to remove my eye make up.
Since one of the ingredients is micellar water I was expecting them to have a more refreshing, cooling effect on my skin. Unfortunately as stated they only left my skin feeling sticky.
I did appreciate that they were not heavily scent, rather they had almost not smell at all.
Overall I would say that these wipes are very average and best used in the morning or at night if you were very little make up.

I was excited to try this product as I like Simple's philosophy of using natural ingredients in their products that are good for your skin and gentle even on sensitive skin.
My biggest complaint about this product is the smell. I found that it had a very musty, unappealing scent to it. When I came to bed my husband found it such a terrible scent that he asked me to go wash it off. Since then I only used the product in the mornings to continue to test it.
I found that the product made my skin feel sticky until it was fully absorbed. It did spread smoothly and go on easily.
The price point is appealing but I did not find that the product did not hydrate my skin enough and certainly did not leave it hydrated throughout the day as the product claimed.
The terrible scent however is enough to keep me from ever considering buying the product again.

I was very happy and excited to receive this product for free as part of the ChickAdvisor Product Review Club.
In the past I have never liked baking soda based toothpastes. I found that they often had a bad taste and did not leave your mouth tasting fresh. This toothpaste however changed my opinion. The baking soda is hardly noticeable and it has a strong minty flavour that tasted great and left my breath fresh.
The tooth paste's claim to give you a deep clean feeling was accurate. I love how smooth and clean feeling my teeth are after using this product. It truly does feel like I just stepped out of my dentist's office.
The toothpaste did leave my mouth and breath fresh and in fact I have noticed that my morning breath isn't as bad anymore since using this toothpaste.
The only negative is that during the first week of testing this product I noticed that in the mornings the inside of my mouth would peel a little. It did not hurt at all it was just a little weird. I continued to use the product with no other problems.
I will definitely purchase this product in the future and will be recommending it to my family and friends for it's deep cleaning and ability to keep your breath fresh!

It seems I am on a constant search for the perfect moisturizer. Unfortunately my search has not ended since trying the Garnier SkinActive Clearly Brighter Brightening & Smoothing Moisturizer.
I love that you don't need to use a large amount of the product to cover your entire face. The product is also quickly absorbed so that your skin is not left feeling greasy.
I however did not notice any of the benefits this product stated. My skin was not left feeling smoother and did not look brighter. I found that I still needed added moisturizer to certain areas on my face as the product was not moisturizing enough (forehead, around the nose).
Since I did not notice any of the benefits and my skin did not improve (in fact as mentioned in some areas it was dryer than while using my regular moisturizer), I would not purchase this product in the future or recommend it to family or friends.

I love the idea of this product and was very eager to try it. Overall I was not disappointed!
It doesn't get much simpler than using micellar water to clean your face at the end of the day. A cotton ball with some micellar water is all it takes! I did find that the product was not exceptionally great at removing my mascara or liquid eyeliner fuller. And if I used too much product on my eye area it would sting my eyes a little. For the most effective clean I would need to use eye make up remover and then use this product on the rest of my face.
I thought it would leave my face feeling a little sticky, but once the product is dry my face was left feeling smooth and soft.
I will say while I loved how easy this product was to use but I did still miss the feeling of complete freshness you get from washer your face with a cleanser and actual water.
The product was great at not drying out my skin the way some cleanser do.
I liked this product best in the mornings when I have limited amount of time to get ready.
Overall, it is a great product that I will be purchasing again.

I love how natural tasting these products are. It has a great balance of sweetness and savory that I truly enjoyed. I like that the bars are made with all natural ingredients and use products that have added health benefits (like the acai berries in this bar).
I enjoyed the texture of this bar as it was both chewy and a bit crunchy from the nuts. I liked the combination of cranberry and blackberry as it was both tart and sweet.
The bar was satisfying as a snack or as a quick breakfast on the go.
I will definitely be buying these in the future as a healthy snacking alternative!
