This is a smooth and lightweight moisturizer that I have been using in the morning and as a base for my makeup. It hasn't affected my makeup application and it feels great on my skin. A little goes a long way, I use about the size of a dime for my entire face and neck and it doesn't feel heavy. To me it smells like a fresh coconut so those who are sensitive to fragrance may need to avoid. That being said it wasn't a very strong fragrance and has not irritated my skin.
It comes in a beautifully packaged and relatively heavy container which makes it feel very luxurious. My only problem with the packaging is the opening is slightly smaller than the rest of the container, which makes accessing the product difficult once more is used up. But that is a minor issue otherwise in a product I really enjoy and would repurchase.

As it claims, it is a very lightweight and fresh beauty mist that preps your skin, moisturizes, and boost its glow. It has a strong floral scent so I would not recommend it for those who are sensitive to fragrance.
The sprayer itself is very light so you cannot go heavy handed. I'm not a fan of that as I feel I need to spray twice as many times to get my desired effect. Even when I spray a lot it feels very light on my skin almost like there's nothing on it at all.
What I do enjoy is the extra boost it gives my skin and I feel refreshed after using it. The packaging is slightly heavy as other users have mentioned but it's due to the quality of the bottle itself. I like the packaging and the mist but I am not sure if I would repurchase for myself due to how light of a spray it provides and I'm not a fan of the scent. If there was an fragrance-free version I would definitely reconsider!
I do recommend this product for beauty users who love a spray and fragrance. It's great quality, Vegan-friendly, alcohol-free, paraben-free, and 90% of the ingredients are natural.

I don't use a lot of serums and was curious about this product since it claims to even tone and texture, leaving a dewy glow. Comes in a sleek bottle that has an dropper, which doesn't work too well but it is manageable.
2 - 3 drops is more than enough to cover your face and it spreads around very evenly. The consistency is thicker than I would expect from a serum. Unfortunately even after using it consistently for a week, I didn't notice a difference in my skin tone or texture (although it may also be because it was irritated by the sleep mask). I couldn't tell if it had a scent and enjoyed using it right before my moisturizer.
For the cost and quality I would not recommend this. There are better products out there that would be more effective and worth your money.

I was excited about this product as a fan of sleep masks in the past. It claims to improve skin texture and lock in moisture for luminous skin.
It comes with a silicone applicator and specifically tells you not to use your hands and rub in the product. I couldn't apply the product evenly with the applicator and still ended up using my fingers to smooth it out otherwise it would take a long time to dry. Even with a smooth layer though it took a while to actually absorb and left a sticky feeling that I was not fond of. I sleep on my side and felt as though half the product was getting wiped off onto my pillow case.
I wasn't left with an overly greasy face and after washing it off in the morning my skin did feel nice. When I went to apply the rest of my skincare I kept feeling a tingly sensation which is unusual for my skin. It's been a few days and my skin feels a bit better - so I will be cautious using this in the future.
The amount of product you need each application is not a lot - so it may last a while - however if you tend to use sleep masks often you will go through this quicker. That being said the price is high for the quality and I would go with other sleeping masks on the market.

Aveeno Positively Radiant MaxGlow Peel-Off Mask

A little bit goes a long way and it dries easily so that peeling it off is relatively painless. I would be careful if you have longer facial hair or getting it near any baby hair areas as it really sticks on your skin and peeling it off can hurt. That being said I really enjoyed the peeling off part - it's oddly satisfying. It dried transparent in some parts because I did a lighter layer and even then it was still easy to grab a hold of a corner and peel it off. Easy to wash off the rest afterwards with a cleanser too.
Overall I really enjoyed the scent and found it easy to spread evenly. It dried really fast and my skin felt refreshed afterwards. It didn't boost my skin or leave a glow, but it was good at taking away the dead skin cell and leaving my skin smooth.
If you enjoy masks I would give this a try. I would recommend this to friends who want a simple, easy, and refreshing mask to use.

This is my first The Ordinary foundation and I find by itself it's lacking in certain areas. I found it was very light coverage but it is also lightweight so you can build upon layers. I also didn't find it sit well on my skin and needed a good amount of powder on my t-zone to set it in place.
While I didn't like it by itself I enjoyed mixing it with other products, such as moisturizer or another foundation that's dark. When mixed with another foundation I'm able to create a better match for my skin and a combination of the two products worked better for me and provided close to all day coverage. For the price - it's worth it to have on my shelf for the lazy days where I want to mix it with a moisturizer to add a bit of coverage. I also enjoy the simple packaging with a pump.

This was my favourite of the bunch - I love both dark chocolate and peanut butter and this was great! The chocolate and peanut butter were perfectly balanced and did not make the bar too sweet. The texture was a combination of chewy and crunchy from the grains used. Most importantly it was healthy - I can't believe it's plant protein! I would certainly opt to buy this bar as a healthy snack alternative.

While I am a fan of the other flavours in this line - I found the salted caramel and dark chocolate flavour too sweet. Two bites in and I had to drink lots of water to reduce the sweetness. The caramel also overpowered any dark chocolate flavour. Overall I enjoyed the bar and the ingredients (especially the cashew), I would not repurchase and opt to buy another flavour.

You would never know that this is full of nutrients and plant protein as it is delicious! It was easy and simple to carry around and snack on whenever I needed. My only minor complaint, as I absolutely love the taste of dark chocolate and I wish there was more of a dark chocolate flavour. Highly recommend and I would definitely repurchase!

I received a sample for free with the Neutrogena sun kit.
I have combination skin and my chin area is very dry. The gel cream does a good job of temporarily hydrating the dry area but I don't feel like it lasts all day. In fact it usually lasts about an hour. It absorbs quickly into my skin and it feels good. I love the texture of this gel cream but for the price and quality I would not repurchase.
