This was my first time trying any skincare by CoverGirl. I was pleasantly surprised! It has a very light texture, didn't irritate my skin at all and I didn't even notice the scent. If there was one, it was subtle. I think for the price point and quality they have hit a home run with this one!    -

I purchased this for my white quartz countertops on a whim and I'm so glad I did. This is truly a miracle product. I have used it to remove stains I can't get off with any other product from quartz, marble and porcelain. Everything easily comes off without damaging the surface. My kitchen counters would look horrible if it wasn't for this product, especially around the sink from washing pots and pans. Truly worth every penny!    -

I have been using this for a few months and love it so much, it has become my favourite mascara of all time. It's the tube technology where your lashes are wrapped to look longer and fuller. It washes off so easily I can sometimes get away with just using water, yet it stays put all day. No flaking or smudging. My lashes don't look clumpy at all. I'm absolutely obsessed with it and it's worth every penny. I will continue to buy.    -

I inherited my mother's extremely dry feet. This has been an absolute lifesaver. I put it on one day just to try it and started to see that the cracks in my heels and my toes were starting to improve, so I started applying it daily. What a difference!! I'm so glad I was able to try this product, which I got through our Spoil Me box. I'll definitely buy this again.    -

This is such a cool way to wash your hair! The conditioner and shampoo both come out in a toothpaste like texture and you add a little bit of water and massage into your hair. The shampoo is phenomenal. The conditioner - I wasn't sure what to expect! All of my products are from the salon so my expectations are very high.

In the shower I loved the shampoo but was worried the conditioner wouldn't provide the softness or de-tangling I expected from a conditioner. I have long thick hair that is colour treated. Because the conditioner does not have silicone in it, you don't get that silky feeling in the shower. It feels completely different. Almost a rougher texture if that is the right word? I used it on my hair and on my daughters. I was actually worried I'd have to re-condition my hair with my usual product, but I decided to trust and just see what would happen. I'm so glad I did.

When I started blowdrying my hair, it became incredibly soft and silky. I was actually shocked how it transformed. I got a salon quality result that I was not expecting and my hair still looks and feels great 3 days later. Just as good as my expensive Kevin Murphy conditioner, but much less expensive.

Not only are Everist products fantastic quality, they're also natural and totally eco friendly. The packaging is all 100% recyclable (aluminum not plastic!) and they have a cap back program to ensure even the cute little yellow lids don't go to waste.

I 100% recommend you try the shampoo and conditioner. This company was founded by two awesome Canadian women I'm lucky to call friends.    -

I was so excited to be able to try such an innovative shampoo. I knew these products were in the works for some time because one of the founders is a friend and former client, but I really had no idea what to expect.

I am VERY picky about my haircare. My long, naturally dark hair has been bleached blonde for many years so I'm very careful to use only high quality salon products to keep my hair as healthy and shiny as possible. Everist not only lived up to my expectations, but surpassed them.

It is such a fun experience to use this product. You use the key that comes with it to turn the aluminum packaging to get a strip of the waterless paste and then add a little water to your hands to turn it into a lather for your hair. As you add the product to your hair the lather grows into a rich, foamy texture that rinses out super clean. It's been 3 days since I washed my hair and it still looks great.

I used it on my kids and they both loved it. My daughter says it smells like lemon chiffon and I agree. I used the conditioner too and that will be under a separate review.

Everist is a zero waste company that uses only fully recyclable packaging. They have a cool cap back program where you can return the yellow tops from your tubes so they can be repurposed. The formulas are totally natural and absolutely divine. I'm so impressed with Everist and I hope they will launch many more products like this!    -

I did my first online order yesterday because we wanted to get a picture of a grocery haul for the campaign we are currently running. I am a long time online grocery shopper. I've used Grocery Gateway and Insta Cart quite a bit so I have something to compare this to.

Voila is by far the best user experience so far. Their search function works better and I found it easier to locate the items I wanted compared to Grocery Gateway. It's a lot less expensive than Insta Cart and you actually get the items you ordered. Using Insta Cart during the pandemic meant we were spending a lot on delivery and tips and then getting items that were wrong. For example, we'd order gluten free bread because I am celiac and they'd show up with regular bread.

Another thing that was great was that I placed the order last night and had my groceries by 10am this morning. Everything was fresh and exactly as I'd ordered, no weird substitutions. I also thought the delivery fee of $7.99 was great. Much cheaper than the others. And they carry Farm Boy! That was very exciting to see. I love Farm Boy products so ordered a bunch of those. The only thing that seemed to be missing was their Pico de Gallo, which I hope they will get in stock.

We will definitely continue using this service.    -

Normally I hate waterproof mascara. It's something I haven't bought for many years. So when a team member suggested this item for our promo boxes I expressed concern about it being waterproof. However, once I tried it I completely changed my mind. I've been wearing this mascara almost every day now during the summer. I love how my lashes look with it all day long. I love the waterproof for going to the beach or even just being out all day when it's hot and having zero smudging. I have also found that putting a little bit of face oil on my lashes before I wash my face takes the mascara right off, so no broken or lost lashes. I'm now a convert and will definitely buy again!    -

I received this for free from a friend who is working at RNW for Canada. It's a skincare line from Korea that is very science based, focused on damage prevention.

I have been using this in conjunction with the DER.BLANC Shining Toner for over a month and really like it. It is for brightening and bringing out your skin's glow as well as protection from loss of hydration.

I was immediately impressed by both this product and the toner as my skin looks great not just when I apply it but throughout the day. It doesn't irritate my skin and I have sensitive skin so have to be careful. All of the products I have tried have been fragrance free.

I am very practical with my skincare and this is a product I would definitely purchase again.    -
