OXY Volcanic Ash Acne Scrub
This exfoliating scrub has a fine to medium texture and provides mild exfoliation. It is easy to use. I would recommend to use it once a day, or maybe every two days, skip a day if your skin is very sensitive.

I recieved this item free for my honest review. I applied on behalf of my teenage daughter who had been experiencing some serious breakouts all over her face. She used this product everyday, usually at night when she was too tired to wash her face completely. It made her more motivated to use the product. With constant use her breakouts became smaller and dried out, but did not leave her whole face completely dry. There was plenty of product on the pads as well, none of them were dry but instead completely soaked in product which is amazing! Definitely worth the money. It does have a "medical/clinical" smell to it but that's to be expected. It didn't hinder the use at all. It did tingle at first but with continued use it goes away. -

I got this product #forfree in exchange for my #honestreview. I have had McDonald's coffee from the restaurant but it's always so watery I had no idea (and still don't) what it's supposed to taste like. I do prefer my coffee on the stronger side, but I did brew it a multitude of different strengths. I have a plain old drip pot coffee maker. I normally purchase Folgers coffee from the grocery store and I don't plan on switching to #McCafe any time soon. I overall didn't enjoy the taste. I've noticed that "made for home" restaurant coffee brands don't translate well at home. This one wasn't overly bitter or different, it just didn't taste good. I use flavoured coffee creamers and that didn't help either. It wasn't for me. -

This foundation can be applied using either a brush, a sponge or your fingers. It is full coverage and some people could even skip concealer if there's no prominent blemishes or under eye circles. A little goes a long way. It comes in a wide range of shades. I had light 012, which was a shade too dark but I easily manipulated it with concealer. I have textured combination skin that changes throughout the year and I enjoyed wearing it. It didn't sit or crease in the fine lines under and around my eyes or my laugh lines and didn't cause me any breakouts (huge concern for me with foundations) I used my IL Makiage concealer and setting powder with it and it blended together seamlessly. It has a natural/matte finish but I used an illuminating primer so my face still looked somewhat luminous and not flat. If you have oily skin, I'm not sure if this would be the best for you since it is moisturizing balm texture, it may move around on the skin and separate from whatever powder you choose to use. It costs around $50+ depending where you buy your makeup. I would like to purchase this once I'm done with the one I have, but in a more appropriate shade for my skin tone. -
Kiss 100 Full Cover Nails Long Stiletto
These are my fave "drug store" press on nails. They average $15 on Amazon and come in a variety of sizes (almond, square, long, medium) and colours/designs. They feel sturdy and substantial, not cheap or flimsy. You can 100 % reuse these, just clean... +
These are my fave "drug store" press on nails. They average $15 on Amazon and come in a variety of sizes (almond, square, long, medium) and colours/designs. They feel sturdy and substantial, not cheap or flimsy. You can 100 % reuse these, just clean the dried glue of the back. The pack includes glue, a nail file/buffer and wooden cuticle stick. I have not used the glue that comes in the box, I use one I bought separately from Amazon. They stay on anywhere from one to two weeks. Mine usually stay on up to a week and a half but I don't wear gloves when I wash dishes or shy away from washing my hands. Easy to put on and measure, and easy to take off with acetone or if you're like me you just pop them off when they start to come off on their own. -

So right before Christmas was my last workout, and being laid off in January wasn't the most encouraging thing. I had no motivation, and with all the lockdowns the exercise room in my building is still closed. So I started Googling "Live workouts" and came across Obe. It's a website that works like an app. It only costs $27 per month and you get a free week trial to see if you like it.
When you sign up there's a quiz you take to see what your goals are and what kind of workout you are interested in. Don't worry, this doesn't limit you to what you can use, it just gives you recommendations, and you can still use any of the workouts on the site.
There is a live schedule everyday with a variety of trainers in different fields. They have everything from yoga, hiit, barre, pre and postnatal exercises, to meditation, cardio, sculpt and programs for targeted exercises like arms and abs.
All levels are welcome, and you can also use equipment or none at all. All the live videos can be watched at any time if you cant make it.
There's also an option on the site where you can invite friends for a "workout party"!
Obe has been amazing for me! I try to do a workout a day, and the meditations and yoga help me cool down afterwards. I am already seeing results after one week.
They also sell their own merch and workout equipment.

Youve probably seen the ads everywhere about the perfect colour match concealer and its free trial. I saw them everywhere and they finally broke me down. I clicked the link, I took the quiz (which was super easy btw and only took a minute or two) and BAM! I was given a match.
Now from here you have some choices. you can A. choose just the concealer, try it out for two weeks and if you dont like it, send it back and get you money returned. Did I mention its a full size product! Or 2, you can choose to try a whole makeup regime and add foundation and setting powder. The foundation too is included in the trial and has its own colour finding quiz.
Now the product itself. My colour was a match....a spot on match! it was easy to apply,easy to blend and layer. My only concern is that it doesnt pair well with dry skin. When I wear it I make sure I have on all my necessary creams so the concealer doesnt become blotchy or patchy. Its also very light, not heavy or cakey so you wont feel it when youre out and about. It wears well, lasts all day.

I bought this product while i was grocery shopping. I usually go for something more fun scented but No frills didnt really have a great selection of that so i got this. It saves some time bc you dont have to wait for your lotion or cream to dry, bc you put it on in the shower and then rinse it off. You can use as much or as little as you want. It worked ok for me, my skin still feels a little dry but it might just be that im not used to this formula. It says there is no sticky feel but if you dont rinse it off throughly enough you will feel sticky. I wish there were more fun scents. This would def be a summer moisturizer for me. -

I have very acne prone, sensitive skin. When i bought this I didnt know it was also an exfoliating cleanser, usually facial scrubs make me break out but Ive been having luck with this. Probably thanks to the charcoal properties in it. I also use the corresponding facial mask twice a week and it keeps my weekly break outs at bay. I just dont go crazy scrubbing my face. The wash is somewhat drying but with moisturizer you shouldnt have a problem. It cost about $12 and I am quite happy with it so far. -

I have sensitive acne prone skin and i was looking for something to at least take some of the redness down and calm my skin down while leaving it healthy looking and feeling. It did calm my skin down but my acne stayed the same.(I didnt expect that to change) The smell is a bit odd, it literally does smell like kale. Im sure it would turn some people off. It's not greasy, but I would give it a couple minutes to absorb into the skin before doing your makeup. -
