I received a discount as part of a Product Review Club offer to test out Voila by Sobeys, a grocery delivery service. Ordering was easier than I thought it would be and pretty straightforward and simple. I learned you should always picked a delivery time/date first! Because this will affect items that are available and save you the disappointment of having added things to your cart only to receive a pop up when you try to book a time that the item isn't available (this was frustrating and disappointing for me... But I learned)
The variety of items is quite good overall. You have all your necessities and then some. One thing I did notice is that the frozen meat and seafood section could use some expansion. I ordered eggs and none of them were broken (a fear I had). And the expiry dates on everything I ordered was very reasonable. Another fear I had was that I was going to recieve products that were at the end of their life.
You can get some great deals from the flash sale and sale sections, the price is comparable to what you'd get at an in-store sale. Check out is a breeze and you can modify your cart until the evening before your order is to arrive. Delivery was seamless and right on time! It's an hour block and my order arrived right at the top of the hour. I definitely wasn't expecting that. It was nice. The driver was very kind and took the time to explain the service since it was my first time and also the changes they've made to their bag deposit program due to Covid.
I'm glad I was able to test the service, I was skeptical at first and I'm someone that would prefer to go to the store to pick my own items. That being said now I know that if I can't go, I can trust Voila by Sobeys to deliver and I won't be disappointed!

I was a bit skeptical at first that the vanilla would overpower the rose. I usually avoid vanilla products for this reason. I was thrilled with the scent of this. The rose was dominant and honestly you don't need perfume. The scent is strong so I suppose that would be my only caution to anyone that doesn't want a strong scent. A little bit of product goes a long way. You only need two strokes. Follow the instructions! My only concern with buying this again is the baking soda and the possibility of it turning my underarms dark. I haven't used it long enough to know if it does. -

I absolutely loved this deodorant..even more than the Rose + Vanilla one actually. The scent is noticeable but not overpowering and just like the Rose + Vanilla, a little bit goes a long way. The scent is rather relaxing which I appreciate. I love that this is a no baking soda natural option. I have sensitive skin and so far so good. I will be purchasing this in the future! -

I went to visit an aunt and she had this in her beauty collection. I had forgotten my own primer and had the opportunity to try this. It smelled fabulous and left my skin feeling SO smooth. I have a skin condition that sometimes leaves my skin feeling dry and rough which translates into my foundation. After using this, I felt so smooth and foundation application was a lot smoother. The hint of gold underneath is a great glowing touch. A little bit of this stuff goes a long way. I would splurge on it. -

My cousin used to own a shade of this product and she liked it. I was in the market for a new concealer and she recommended trying it. I like it at first but began to notice that I would get oily wherever it was applied. It conceals great but the oiliness is a concern and a nuisance. -

I was in the market for another hair dryer and was super excited to try this one out. The price alone scared me off. It is insanely expensive and I couldn't justify the purchase. I ended up getting a sweet deal and took the plunge and made a purchase. Best. Hair. Dryer. Ever. True to its word, it decreases drying time (I have very long hair right now), and it doesn't leave your hair feeling brittle. It's soft to the touch. I also noticed that my hair doesn't get as oily as quickly. -

I went to Sephora for a makeup appointment and before my appointment they prepped my skin. This is one of the products she used. I wasn't quite sure what it was supposed to do at first but after all the artists kept proclaiming how great it was and how it was a great purchase despite the price, I figured I'd try it out. Let's just say I'm already looking forward to purchasing another bottle! This has your face feeling SO clean. It takes off everything that your regular everyday cleanser will miss and it smells great to boot! A little bit goes a long way and it just melts make up away. I have sensitive skin so wipes irritate my skin especially since it takes a number of rubs before you get everything off (but never really everything). This water on a cotton pad....a couple of swipes and you're done! Definitely worth a try and a splurge if you can afford it! -

I have a very sensitive face with a dermatological condition that no one has been able to solve. It leaves me with redness and bumps that aren't quite acne but sometimes turn into. I've tried a number of different products with nothing that really worked. A friend of mine said she used these and loved them so I figured I'd try them since I was desperate and had nothing left to lose. THANK GOODNESS I DID. These things will have you noticing a change in roughness and acne just after ONE use. I must advise that it is even though it says peach bellini scented, the whiff you get is more of the active ingredients. It's very strong and it does burn your face a bit. Go slow and stop if you feel like it's too harsh - test it out in one area first. It does leave your skin dry but it also leaves you with this feeling of freshness. Don't use it everyday or you'll severely dry out your skin. Be sure to have a good cleansing and moisturizing regimen so keep your skin balanced. In the beginning I used it 2-3 times a week. Now that I feel like I have my skin a bit under control I use it once a week. Maybe twice if I feel like I've been really oily and I've got some acne coming on. -

The flavour sounded like something I would like but I was wrong! The second I opened it, it smelled weird and was a complete turn off. I tried to give it a chance and figured it might taste better than it smelled but it really didn't. I didn't care for this bar at all. I expected more flavour. It was very pasty and dried my mouth. -
Allmax Aminocore BCAA in Blue Raspberry

I've tried a few different BCAAs and so far I'm enjoying this one. It smells foul when you first open the container but the taste itself is fabulous. It comes with this cute little scoop that sits on the mouth of the container so you aren't digging through the powder for it each time like similar products. It's pricey for the 2.57 lbs tub but you can save about $20 if you pick it up on sale at your local supplement store if you're lucky. -
