I gave these post-acne blemish brightening patches a try and I'm not sure if I'm sold on them or not. It's hard to determine whether my skin was looking better from the patch or just from time passing since having a pimple. I didn't notice a huge enough difference though to make it a "wow" for me. I also feel like the patch being large could be good for someone with multiple pimples in a cluster, but it would be nice to have smaller ones, like the size of their pimple patches!

I'm always excited to try mascaras and other products, but unfortunately this one missed the mark for me.
I'll start off with the positives. I did find it provided great length and volume! I did test the waterproof claim and it was great. There was absolutely no product on my tissue after wetting my eyes and wiping. It's also definitely buildable if people want more layering. I did also find that it wasn't difficult to remove with eye makeup remover.
The negatives - unfortunately I found it quite clumpy! I do have long lashes to start with and sometimes have trouble getting to the base of my lashes, but after only a couple swipes through, my lashes were pretty stuck together. And the product looked kind of clumpy on the lash, with some fallout. I tried again with only 1-2 swipes with the brush, and this was much better, but still somewhat clumpy. I did try using a spooly brush to unclump but it seemed the product became pretty rigid and wouldn't separate easily.
I received this product free for testing and review with my honest opinion.

This fragrance is quickly one of my favs! I'm a big fan of fruity / sweet smells and this nectarine petal scent is a perfect example of that. I love the roll on applicator so you can really get the scent where you want it. It's long-lasting as well - still smelled delicious after a long, sweaty hike. I also love that this fragrance is water based and alcohol free so that it's hydrating and good for sensitive skin. I've enjoyed this fragrance so far and will look for it again in the future!

Aveeno® Calm + Restore Daily Face Moisturizer Mineral SPF 30

Morning moisturizer with SPF is a regular part of my routine so I was happy to try this one! I've been using it now daily for the last couple weeks and my skin has been feeling nice and hydrated. It does not leave a greasy or sticky feeling afterwards and spreads smoothly - not a ton of product is needed either. It's somewhat of a beige colour so unlike some creams with SPF and sunscreen that are white, it doesn't make you look pale or leave a white residue. No scent and gentle on the skin!
Aveeno is a brand I'm familiar with (I use their body wash currently as well!) and I know that I can trust them as dermatologist approved and ensuring products like this moisturizer are free of parabens, alcohol, dyes, etc. I'll likely look for it on the shelves next time I need a daily moisturizer!

I've tried this out now a couple times either on a pimple overnight (or under my mask working during the day!) and have found that it works well! The patch stays on very easily and my pimples seem to go away faster. Also love the simplicity of its use and for really yucky pimples its a nice option to cover it up too without clogging pores with concealer.

I got this cutting board for review purposes and found it to be very durable! Despite being wood it didn't mark up too easily and it didn't get stained easily either. I like the size of it for cutting lots of different veggies, and the reversibility having the juice catcher on one side is an added bonus 👌 -

I was a little nervous trying this product because the last time I used a hair removing cream on my legs I got a burn / reaction from it. But I followed the directions and tried it on a bit of my chin and it went well, and then did my upper lip and no issues! Definitely removes the peach fuzz / fine hairs on your face but if you have the odd coarse hair or something you have to leave it longer. I would definitely use this again though for the upper lip / chin area for peach fuzz and if you prefer no fuzz at all then you could use it on your whole face I suppose! Pain free as opposed to waxing! -

I love all things chocolate and this ice cream is absolutely delicious. It's super creamy and sweet, a melt in your mouth kind of ice cream. I love that the packaging is sustainable and that it's made with 100% Canadian dairy. Chapman's is a brand I usually purchase their other ice cream lines, but the super premium would be a nice treat if you're looking for something a little more special to treat yourself 😊 #TryChapmansCanada -

I really appreciate the quality of this shampoo! I feel like it left my hair feeling smooth and soft, and my hair seemed to have more volume and less frizz in my curls. My scalp and hair has been dry over the winter and a bit itchy, but I found the itchiness reduced as well. It foams up easily as well with just a small dollop. It also smells great so that's a bonus, and it's a 100% recycled bottle and cruelty free so that's a double bonus! -
