Dove® Nutritive Solutions Rebalance Conditioner
This conditioner smells amazing!! Scent is always a priority for me when choosing hair care products, and this one won the test at the store! This conditioner is soothing, and leaves my hair easy to detangle afterwards.

I initially bought the Dove Advanced care in Soothing Chamomile because I have extremely dry skin that irritates easily (especially after shaving). I use a chamomile eye makeup remover for this same reason. So far the product has been great. The product doesn't cake like some deodorants do after sweating, and the scent is fresh and light. Recommended. -

Oh boy!
I came on here because I was desperate to see what others were saying about this product.
Let me start by saying... I am a HUGE Rocky Mountain Soap Co fan. I have been for years (since they had a shop on Granville street in Vancouver). I love their deodorants, I love their soap selection, I like that the company takes a stance on things like' health and organizes runs in communities. I especially like that the brand is Canadian.
BUT.. this product left me scratching my head.
I purchased the entire face line from Rocky. I love the oil, the branding, the fact that they stick to natural ingredients. The facial cream does NOT sink into my skin at all. I put it on, wait five minutes, and the cream dries up on the face leaving little grey waxy balls everywhere. I'm not sure if I just got a bad batch, or if they went a little heavy on some of the ingredients..? It's very odd. I thought about calling them up to return the product... BUT I am obsessed with the scent of the product. It's almost like a light, natural geranium/pomegranate perfume. It's so lovely i've started wearing it on my neck (the skin is different there so it doesn't grease up to the same extent). People have even commented on how nice I smell when I wear it.
Strange huh? I do not use the product for its intended purpose at all, but I still like it for very different reasons. Go figure.

Two words: shea butter.
Shea Butter is a wonderful ingredient for those with chapped/sensitive/red/dried out skin, and you can definitely feel its benefits when using this cream. This cream has a neutralizing effect on the skin. It sinks into the skin (you would be surprised how many "hydrating" creams I've tested in the past that flake off and are unable to penetrate the skin's surface), and doesn't leave behind a sticky/greasy residue. This product scores some points with me for the nice light scent. I'm also a fan of the packaging (the jar comes with a mirror on top of the cap.. very unique). This product's price point falls well below that of an expensive department store cream, and arguably has better results as well. That said, there are still some very solid hydrating creams on the market that fall below this price point (the night and day creams from Body Shop's aloe line for example). However, if you consider the fact that this cream acts as BOTH a night and day cream, then you can easily justify the price.
I'm a fan, and I'd like to think I know a thing or two about creams intended for dry skin. Well done, Vichy!

Vichy Thermal Spa Water

I'm a huge fan of spritzing water on the face as a mid-day refresher. Doing this keeps my skin from flaking, and it keeps the face hydrated. Therefore, it is obvious that I am a big fan of this product. The water comes out in a nice, even spray. It feels cool, and refreshing. And, the bottle claims to contain 15 minerals. The only downside to this product is the price. For years I have added water and jojoba oil into my own spritz bottle for the same desired benefit. Should I ever see this product on sale at the store, I would 100% buy it. I just think the price might be a bit steep for most. -
Vichy Pureté Thermale Cleansing Foam Radiance Revealer

This cleansing foam works wonderfully, it removes makeup and dirt, and it's fresh cucumber-like scent reminds me of products used in spas. In the past, I've used the foam pump from Body Shop's aloe line, and this product shares some similarities with it. However, the Vichy Foam Radiance contains citric acid, which leaves the skin feeling even fresher than any other foam cleanser I've used before. On top of this, I should probably mention that I have extremely sensitive, eczema- prone skin. This products has not irritated my skin whatsoever, which is a huge plus for me. I am seriously thinking that after this runs out, I will be switching over to this from my regular cleanser. Well done, Vichy! -
Lipton Green Tea Naturally Decaffeinated Tea Bags
Typically, green tea has loads of caffeine in it. This one, however, has the same great taste, and won't keep you up all night. The price of Lipton is always right, and is widely available at you local grocery stores.

Ponds has been my go-to brand for a number of years now. I'm a big fan of their creams. These towelettes do not disappoint. Like the creams in their line, the towelettes are great for sensitive / dry skin. They moisturize and don't strip the skin of its natural barrier the way many towelettes on the market do.

Dove Purely Pampering Coconut Milk with Jasmine Petals Body Wash
One of the best scents in this line. I love Dove, and have always trusted their brand. Price point is right, and a faint scent will linger after using. Recommended.

I bought this product on a whim en route to a party. I always figured this brand was a cheap drugstore option, and would tend to avoid it because of this. THAT being said, I found this lipstick to be wonderfully pigmented, with a nice range of color selections. The lipstick lasts and is definitely comparable to the Sephora lipstick brand (which is much pricier). -
