My absolute favourite conditioner. I am very pick with my hair products and I do sometimes stray to try and review other products but I always go back to this one.
The scent is fresh and not over-powering when applying, it does linger into your hair even after its dried so it always smells clean and washed.
My hair is slightly damaged along the ends, I colour it quite a bit and also use heat. This conditioner helps to correct and hide my hairs imperfections. It leaves my hair looking shiny and healthy and also feels smooth and silky. Even the conditioner itself is smooth when applying and distributing through your ends. My hands and cuticles are even left feeling softer/healthier than they were beforehand.
I only wash/condition my hair three times a week and my hair will stay well conditioned even between washes which is fantastic because it is above-average in price and I wouldn't be able to afford to use it daily.

I received this product for free from work to review and give customers honest feedback. I was so excited because I love Nexxus shampoos and conditioners but this product was really disappointing.
Firstly, the scent is too floral. Very strong and very prominent and It did fade and my hair wasn't left with that but it was overwhelming to apply and the scent did linger on my hands even after washing.
Secondly, the texture was too thick and did not seem to apply evenly. I have pretty long hair and I needed to use a few pumps to distribute enough, if it was a product I used daily then I couldn't see it lasting very long and it would be expensive to replace. Once my hair was dry I would run my fingers through it and it almost felt like there was a film of product and it almost felt dirty.
Third, the price. I am somewhat glad I didn't like the product because like I said, expensive to replace.
I actually ended up giving this product to a friend, her hair is shorter so I thought maybe it would give her different results. Unfortunately, she also had a negative experience. She also said it felt as though a film of product was left in her hair and she also developed some dandruff that she did not have before. Unsure if maybe the Serum does not dissolve or dissipate well when being applied.

Antioxidants are so important to our health and these make it easy and enjoyable to increase my antioxidant intake.
A lot of vitamins and supplements feel like a chore but these are more like a treat or candy. They taste great and I even am left with a berry-fresh scent to my breath afterwards. The product also does not stain your tongue which is a big bonus.
I can only ever find these in a large bag and inside the bag the "candies" are individually wrapped, I do wish I could find them in a different packaging only because I like to carry these in my purse and I think it wold be easier in a smaller bag or different wrapping. I now take a handle and place them in a snack-sized ziploc bag.
I also use it when I begin to feel a sore throat or maybe have a little tickle, they are not your typical Halls product, it does not do any numbing or soothing but it does help to keep your mouth and throat moistened to help calm your irritation.

A must-have for anybody with sensitive or easily irritated skin.
This will remove your makeup and cleanse your skin with little or no rubbing. The product glides along your face when applied with a cotton pad, leaves you feeling refreshed and clean. There is no scent and no allergens in this product either and all Marcelle products are hypoallergenic. Product is safe for the eyes, I am somebody who cannot even handle water in my eyes and this product caused me no irritation even when some got into my eyes during cleansing.
I love the packaging, I love that the product pumps out instead of needed to take the bottle and flip it over. Sometimes you can accidentally pour too much and that is just a waste of product and money. Just one or two pumps is all you need to thoroughly get the job done. The bottle itself is relatively cheap when comparing to other Derm Quality Micellar cleansers and the portion controlled pump will just help you limit use and end up saving more also.
I am very satisfied with this product, I will definately be repurchasing and I recommend it to anybody with any skin type - you do not need to be sensitive to use this product, it works for everyone.

This is one of the few lip-glosses that will actually stay in place for the majority of the day. It is very shiny and sheer but still lasts. They made my lips feel very soft and also did not run or bleed.
The colour is HIGHLY pigmented and you only need to apply it to your lips once to have a solid, even application of product. There isn't much of a colour selection, they mostly range from light-pinks to fuchsia tones and I think they do have a nude/beige shade.
The packaging is cute and the brush is good even though it is small and It almost looks like a nail polish bottle. I do feel that the product INSIDE the bottle dries out quite quickly because it is so small and it is constantly being opened and closed with the brush going out. They are a little bit pricey so with that in mind, I am unsure if I would repurchase, maybe if they were to god on sale.

I am not typically a fan of NYC products, I only purchased this because it was on sale and the packaging was kinda cute - the little apple shape on the lip balm especially.
I was not surprised with the quality, it was way too soft and every time I applied it to my lips the product would look damaged and "smooshed". Did not leave my lips feeling anymore moisturizes and also the pigment it left on my lips did not last long, maybe a half hour tops. The colour that it did leave was fairly faint as well, couldn't really tell I was wearing anything but I was able to feel it.
The scent isn't TOO bad, I've smelled worst. It was a little bit fake-smelling, almost like plastic. I wish it would have had an apple scent to maybe make it more appealing as a product.
They are VERY cheap though and you get what you pay for.

I love these little capsules! They are great to use daily or save them up and apply them before events or parties to give your skin an almost instant boost of radiance!
They come in round capsule with a small tablet-type thing attached. All you do is pull and twist off the tablet and you just squeeze out the product. The capsules are a great compared to just placing the product in a pump or a tube because your portion is controlled. You don't use anymore than you need which can end you money in the long run.
The product initially feels very smooth and hydrating, however the feeling does that last because your skin absorbs it up so quicky. After a few moments your skin is feeling dry and looking brand new.
Vitamin C( L-Ascorbic acid) is a fairly well-known ingredient and antioxidant when it comes to skin care, especially products designed for radiance and this product here is 10% Vitamin C.

I prefer this product over the original BeautyBlender.
I feel the shape and size make it easier to apply and blend products in more difficult areas like around the crease of your nose etc. It is also significantly softer on your face compared to the BeautyBlender. I use mine everyday to finish off my application to make sure everything is blending and looks good.
If you do not clean it regularly though, that could become a problem. Your application could get a little bit messy and also it can cause your skin to breakout or irritate as their is a build-up of makeup, skin cells and oils on the sponge.
They also only cost 5$ at Shoppers Drug Mart and as long as you take proper care of it, it should last you a few months before it begins to tear or fade and you need to replace it.

Although this fragrance isn't for me - I appreciate that it is a timeless scent.
I am not entirely sure what scent notes are in this fragrance but it strikes me as very spicy with hints of berry and strong floral tones. The spice does seem to wear off quickly but still lingers through from time to time.
If I was to smell this fragrance on a woman I would think "That woman is bold, sophisticated and classy", all positive attributes and qualities quite a few women yearn for.
I have sampled this fragrance for women over and over again working at Shoppers and I did notice that it does smell better on the skin than on the cards so if you are looking to purchase, I recommend spraying it on your inner wrist and maybe walking around the store for a few moments to shop and see how it settles and adjusts to you.
Like I said, beautiful scent but just does not match my personality.

This is a great little tube of product for any eye shadow enthusiast. It will take any powder or powder-like shadow and turn it into a bold, long-lasting creamed shadow. You can also use it to transform your shadows into eyeliners as well which could end up saving you quite a bit of money and time trying to match up shadows and liners.
All you need is one drop. ONE DROP. I like to drop mine into a small dish I have (I actually use a cuticle dish) and I dip my brush into it as needed. I place my brush into the liquid then into my shadow pot or palette and onto my eyelid and it glides so effortlessly and also feels so smooth. Some creamier shadows need to be pushed and pressed into the skin but Metamorfix just helps you have a quick and easy application. I usually wipe my brush off before double-dipping into the liquid in the dish just so I don't dirty it because usually when I use this product I almost always do an eyeliner with it and I like to try and get as much use out of the one drop as I can, I don't want my colours mixing. This product will really help prolong your makeup and I have also discovered that it is buildable so if you wanted to add a more intense or bold look, you could without ruining the makeup you already applied. I also experience little or no creasing with this product and my eyeliner doesn't run down my eyes leaving me with that racoon look.
Although it seems expensive for such a small tube it really does last you a long time. You only need one drop and like I said earlier, it could save you money in the long haul because instead of purchasing new shadows or liners you can just bring life back to the ones you already own and you don't won't need to shop around for colour matches as much. You could even apply your shadow as the powder is originally and then take that same powder and metamorfix it to create a new, bolder version and use that as the liner. It can help you create new makeup looks that you do not need to spend additional money on, in case you need to convince yourself or try to justify your purchase.
