Clean & Clear Acne Triple Clear Clay Mask
I just put some one as spot treatment on my nose and forehead. It is a white creamy liquid that has good coverage with little product. Smells nice but it has a bit of a chemical smell to it. I've had it on for about 10 minutes and it's dry already

Not sure how much this costs, because I got a sample of it from Sephora, I believe? Alas, my tube has reached the end of its life and I just love how well it works, so I need to document this for future purchases. It's easy to apply without getting everything all over your face. They look so natural and I just realized that they have never clumped on me. I have never gotten spider lashes once, even when I accidentally over-apply. These are great. I love them. I've teared up with them on, and I have never leaked black or gotten raccoon eyes. I definitely recommend. -

I received this product as part of the ChickAdvisor Product Review Club.
First of all, I didn't really use this product. I read the ingredients and saw there was alcohol (-nols) and I got paranoid thinking that if I used it before I blow-dried or straightened, my hair would set on fire. Also, I was really lazy and I use oils after blowdrying to nourish my hair, so I was lazy and I didn't want to add an extra step.
I did finally use it. The product is sticky and it does scrunch up your hair a bit like hairspray. However, it leaves your hair looking shiny and silky after a while, some parts anyways. Because it's a spray, it's difficult to blindly spritz it evenly around your hair (at least for me, anyways). That was my main problem along with the stickiness.

I received this product free from ChickAdvisors Product Review Club.
This product comes as a regular white Pantene-like shampoo. However, it feels more airy, light and more smooth. The conditioner is more liquid than most out there. It's kind of like.. yogurt consistency? Maybe a bit more thick that that?
The product has a nice, light scent which I love! It's not harsh or overwhelming at all.
Effectiveness wise, I find it the same as any other conditioner. However, I do find my hair to be combed out easily afterwards and a bit lighter compared to the hair products I usually use.
Honestly, I'm quite neutral about this product. It's not too shaggy but there's nothing magical about it either. If you're interested, I do recommend you try it out, but if not, I don't recommend you do because it is quite a heft price. I believe it's approximately $10 with tax at Superstore in Vancouver.

i received this product for free as part of the ChickAdvisor's Product Review Club. Thanks for picking me, by the way!
I originally wanted to review this product for a few more weeks, but I'm afraid I'll be too busy to write a review. So, here goes...
I have been using this product for about 1.5 weeks, so about 3,4,5 applications thus far. I wash my hair approximately every 2 days. Sometimes I get lazy and don't feel like washing my hair.
One thing that I've noticed since using this product is that my hair is not as oily or greasy. Maybe it's because my scalp is getting used to a new formula or it's the change in weather but I can go 3-4 days without my hair looking greasy or feeling gross.
I love the scent of this product. It's very light and soft. It's not strong and overwhelming like other pantene products or other shampoos in general.
To me, it seems like my hair did get lighter. It's not as heavy the morning after the wash (I wash at night.).
The product is clear and like what everyone else is saying, it foams up a lot. You actually only need a little, maybe half the size of your palm or less?
What I don't like about it is that it's like other pantene products. If you leave it on too long or rinse too long, your hair feels really... raw? It's not smooth to touch and it feels like there's no moisture.
I recommend you try this product. Although I would buy it, I don't think I will because it is around $10 at superstore.

Jane Iredale Amazing Base Loose Mineral Powder SPF 20

This is the best foundation that I have ever tried! It's light and is total magic. It has really great coverage and I would die without it. It covers all my blemishes and sometimes even my pimples, depending on how big they are and how red. It doesn't flake or cake up and it stays on the whole day and night. My friends barely notice that I have makeup on and so when they compliment me on my skin, I find it ironic because my skin is far from nice.
You should definitely try this product and if you don't like it, you can always gift it to me ;)

When I first bought this product, I was really skeptical because I was sure it would taste gross. However, when I got home and dug in, it was delicious! Luna & Larry's ice cream is fairtrade, vegan, low glycemic, made with natural and organic products and is free of of soy, dairy and gluten. They have many flavours and after a century, I finally decided on Pineapple Coconut. There were actual chunks of pineapple and coconut inside the icecream. They're quite noticable and that's the only part I didn't like, but besides that, it was amazingly good. I finished the whole tub within a day..and even licked the container... it is THAT good! and healthy! -

My friend dragged me to this place to have ice cream. They're located by the Pacific Rim hotel and the sea wall. The gelato is very delicious and yummy. It's made fresh everyday so it's soft and creamy. I could eat them forever. It's a bit expensive, but I find it every bit worth the price.
They have a lot of distinct flavours like:
Gelatos:
Pistachio Siciliano (Pistachio)
Chocolate Fondent
Ncciola Piemontese
Stracitella
Creme di Bella
Fior di Latte
Tahiti Vanilla
Gianduia
Nougat/Torrone
Dolce de Leche
Chocolate Orange
Chocolate mint
Bacio
Thai Coconut Milk
Sorbettos:
Limone (Lemon)
Chocolate Extranoir
Coffee
The staff is really nice and they're not going to give you weird looks or anything.You have not lived until you have tried this ice cream.

Riversol is based in Vancouver.
The cleanser is amazing. You do not have to use much. A pea sized amount will cover your whole face. The cleanser is a clear jelly. It doesn't leave my face dry or oily. In fact, it's actually cleared up a LOT of my acne. i only have a few bumps and scars left, compared to before. It doesn't have any smell and afterwards, your face feels very refresh. Not tight, but clean.
It becomes very frothy and turns white? and again. A pea sized amount will cover up your whole face.

My sister got this because she's really into locals. Anyways, the company Riversol is based in Vancouver.
Because I have eczema, I have really dry skin. This moisturizer really helps; it's durable and lasts a very long time.
However, it's not waterproof.
The moisturizer is very white and frothy. It comes with a lot. It has lasted since September, so that's 4 months? and that is 2 people using it night and day. (It's also a night moisturizer, not that there's any difference.) You don't need to use a lot.
Although it costs a lot, the quality is amazing!
