I was fortunate enough to receive this cleanser in my Boxycharm last month, it was good timing because I ran out of my milk cleanser. Don't let the green color of the cleanser scare you, it doesn't foam so is good for people with sensitive skin. Consistency is not overly thick but isn't runny either, you don't need a lot of it either. It does have a smell to it, I wouldn't call it a fragrance but the smell isn't the greatest smelling cleanser I've ever smelt. Reason I didn't give it higher stars is because I don't really find this cleanser does anything spectacular, sure it doesn't dry out my skin and is pretty gentle however my regular Andalou Naturals Milk cleanser is much more effective for half the price. I am happy I got to try this out however I would never pay $46CDN for this cleanser when there are plenty other cheaper versions on the market.    -

I am a big fan of Systane eye drops and are my go to brand, as someone that has frequent dry eyes due to laser eye surgery I need eye drops to really moisturize my eyes without having to use a ton of product. Unfortunately these new drops from Systane dont really do anything, consistancy is similar to the original ones but it had a milky color to it which I'm not a huge fan of. I feel like I have to use twice as many drop compared to the Ultra option. In my option the Ultra option is definitely the best from the line.    -

Received this mini turbo blow dryer in June's Boxycharm BoxyLuxe in the Blue color. I've never heard of PYT before but was excited to try this little blow dyer out. First of all it has to be the cutest little blow dryer every, it is so small, perfect for traveling or the gym, but don't let the size of this dryer fool you, this little dryer has some serious power. I have a lot of hair and it takes a while to dry and style, let me tell you, this made short work of it, it dried my hair in the same amount of time as my $200 BabyLiss dryer does which blew my mind. It is super comfortable to hold and the highest setting is very hot. It is absolutely worth the $85 especially if you are looking for a smaller dryer for traveling or the gym, this is perfect.    -

Grabbed this on a whim when I was buying something else at the body shop and it was on sale which was even better. I've never tried any body scrubs from the body shop before but after I smelt this, I was hooked. This stuff has the most amazing smell I've ever smelt, it smells very berry, if you don't like overly fragranced products, you most likely will not like this as it is pretty strong. The exfoliating beads in this are pretty big and is probably on the more abrasive side of scrubs however I have very sensitive dry skin and this one doesn't bother me at all or dry out my skin, it actually does the opposite, it leaves my skin feeling super soft and hydrated, takes all the dead skin off. The texture is unlike any other scrubs I've tried, it is a very jelly consistency, very sticky on your fingers but washes off great, doesn't leave any residue on your skin,    -

This Cleansing butter is AMAZING!! I had my eye on this product to try for awhile and since I ran out of my Physician's Formula cleansing balm I figured it was time to try this and I was sorry I hadn't tried it earlier. Where to start, 1st the name of this "cleansing Butter" is accurate, when you put it on your face it literally melts like butter, it spreads amazingly and you only need a small amount. For only $17 CDN you get a pretty decent sized tin with lots of product in it, it is slightly scented but it has a very nice natural calming smell to it, I don't think that it will bother people with sensitivities to fragrances. I have pretty sensitive skin and this has not broken me out or irritated my skin at all. And lastly the effectiveness of the product, it works amazingly, it melts my makeup effortlessly, washes off great, it doesn't leave any film on the skin and it leaves your skin feeling very hydrated and smooth, not stripping at all.    -

I am a big fan of facial oils, especially for night time use and if you have dry skin. I have purchased The Ordinary's Rose Hip oil and I much prefer that one to this one. I hate this facial oil completely, it is so oily and I don't find that it absorbs into my skin at all, in some cases I even think it breaks me out sometimes. The only good thing about it is the price, as with most of their products you cannot beat the price of their products for what you get. I will use up the bottle I have currently but after that I will not re-purchase this oil, it just doesn't do anything for me at all.    -

My foundation search is over, I have finally found a foundation that works wonders for my skin. I was so happy when I saw this brand in my local Shopper Drug Mart just by chance as we Canada didn't have this brand anywhere and lets just say I am glad I took a chance and bought this foundation. I was a bit skeptical at first because it is very runny in consistency however holy moly does this ever product great coverage, on my skin I get full coverage with just one application. I've also found that I don't need to use as much product with this foundation as it goes a long way, I am still working on the 1st bottle I purchased over 2 months ago which is fantastic. Pricing is pretty on par with most drug store foundations, maybe on the lower end at around $13 CDN. It doesn't have any type of smell, so it would be perfect if you are sensitive to smells in products. Two things I don't love about the product is the dropper applicator, I prefer if it was a pump as it gets more difficult to get the product out when you get to the end and secondly the shade range is terrible, I believe they only have maybe 4 or 5 shades available, the shade I use is slightly to pink however it's the best that matches and isn't terrible on me. One tip I will give is to use a primer with this, i find it goes on a lot more smoother and lasts longer with a primer.    -

Where to start with this product, this was my 1st foray into Vitamin C, never having tried any type of Vitamin C product before I figured this would be a good starting point, the price of this is amazing at only $6 you can't go wrong. It does take a bit getting used to, it doesn't smell the best however that quickly disappears. It has a semi-thick white consistency, you only need a dim sized amount for your entire face and a tip is to put it on your face when it is still slightly damp, not dry as it will not blend into your skin well. Some people report that this product stings, and it does a little bit, depending on your skin, I have pretty sensitive skin and it doesn't bother me to much. I honestly don't know what i've done without this, after only a few weeks of using this product my two dark sun spots on my upper lip have faded considerably, also my skin is not as dry as it was before, it has completely changed my skin and I will continue to use this.    -

I have been wanting to try FFF out for a very long time, so I finally tried it for the Spring Editor's box. Previous I read ton's of reviews about people not getting their boxes, especially here in Canada, also being charged for items they weren't supposed to be charged but I didn't have any issues whatsoever. For when I ordered it, i probably received it just a few weeks after, the process was very easy and I love that you get to customize three of the items if you pay per month. I will say that it is a bit expensive for Canadian's once you do the conversion and shipping however if you get some items in it that you need then its worth it, for my spring box I got the Tarte H20 gel which for me was worth the price I paid for the whole box. I ended up cancelling the box, only because I didn't really need or like any the items in the summer box for me to spend $70+ on it however I will say the cancellation process was super simple and i didn't receive any unnecessary charges. I will definitely re-sign up for another box if the items are worth it.    -

By far my favorite subscription! Some people complain about it because you only receive deluxe samples however I really love this because I get to try out different products I wouldn't normally try without purchasing a bunch of them, I actually discovered the new Tarte primer from this bag. I also really like that you get to purchase add on's, both sample size and also full size products for discounted prices. For only $14 CDN per month, this is well worth the money.    -
