I have never used a toner before but I have to say, I LOVE this product. I have been trying alot of facial product lately as I have developed an acne problem (stress acne and the stress isn't going to go away anytime soon). The first couple times I used this product I did question if I wasted my money as nothing was coming off when I used it which was a good thing means my other cleansers works really well. I love this product for when I use make up removing wipes, I find most wipes do not remove all of my eye make up. This takes away everything the face wipes misses. As well I finding in the warmer weather these are amazing for those no make up days to remove any build up that comes over the day a quick wipe down and my face feels amazing.
I was also surprised that this product does not dry my face out, this is a worry for me as I do have dry skin. With this being said I do only use it once a day so this maybe why. This is defiantly a product I will purchase again which wont be anytime soon as you use so little this bottle is going to last me awhile

I have to admit, I do not use liners. Main reason being one I do not really have a need for them my light days are too heavy for liner and second I am just too cheap, there might be the odd day here or there I could use them but why buy a second package that would probably last me 2 years.
I tried these as I received them for free from the Tampax facebook page. I had no intention of trying them but to my surprise a couple months after receiving the package I had a light day light enough to try these and I was a bit excited. I thought this was great I needed something and the nice feature with these is I could wear them with my loved boy shorts. Sadly there was no point in wearing this liner, it not move but it is so small it did not cover anything. Maybe if you are a smaller girl these would work but for me there was just not enough coverage and for this reason I would not consider purchasing this product.

I got one of these free as part of a sample pack I received and was very excited to it, we use numerous febreeze products and my mom really wanted one for her car. At first looking it I was happy to see that you can adjust how powerful the scent is. Sadly even with it on the lowest setting this is just way way way to strong. After minute we were forced to take it off the vent as it was way to over powering.
I was so exicted about this product but sadly it did not live up to what I was expecting. I will not be buying on to replace this once it is gone.

I like this moisturizer but I do not love it. This was the first moisturizer I bought myself and picked out myself and it is a great cream but not for day to day use. If you have dry skin this cream is amzing but I tend to only use it when I am travelling or off work. It is very thick and a bit oily and greasey. I cannot apply it under my make-up and for this reason I will only apply it at night and since I cannot use it under my make-up I tend to only use it when travelling (ie family skiing vacca where even when I did not ski the time outside in the cold dried my face out, or when on the road for work, 8 to 16 hours a day in a car with sc or heat blowing on me dries out the skin).
For me the major down side is the fact I cannot wear it under my make-up so when I do take this with me I have to pack 2 different products, for this reason more and more lately I leave this behind and just make sure it use it when I return, my first weekend home Friday night I apply and than again twice on Saturday once when I get up and once before bed. Since I have just returned from being away I know i wont be leaving the house and will not need to apply make-up.
It works really well on dry skin but would not suggest as a fdaily cream as it is too heavy and greasy. For use when needed only. As well for this reason I may also not replace when my current tub is done.

I love this moisturizer, I have picky skin to say the least. Like many things I find my face to be unique and get in moods. This moisturizer is the best one I have found it is very light weight and really helps when my face gets dry. For some reason my eye lids like to flake when my face get dry which makes it so hard to apply eye make-up and I do not go to work without my full make-up done (I work 5 to 6 days a week depending on the week, so alot of weeks I wear make-up 7 days a week as my day off I am out and wearing make-up) I find this is the only mositurizer where I can apply this at night and by mourning the dry spot may not be completely gone but it is no longer flaking.
This cream is extremely light weight and is is easy to use under make-up and does not leave a greasey layer. With that being said I only use a small dime size dot each day (I am bad I only apply this once a day) and find a bottle lasts we forever. Since it lasts me forever the price is amazing this is not something I have to regularly factor into my into my make-up budget. I always get one for Christmas so most of the time I only have to buy one bottle a year plus the one I get for Christmas so this is super affordable and it works.

I absolutly love this product. I ordered the free sample online but as I was waiting for it to arrive I started to see many people post that even the light formula was way too dark for their skin tone. This worried me as I am fair skined or glow in the dark white as I tell people. Finally my sample arrived and I tried it and to my surprise it was not too dark for my skin tone and I loved it.
I use this product for two different purposes, the first is as a light make-up on no make-up days. Very rarely do I go without make-up if I am leaving the house, but for me this is the perfect hang out side in the summer look. I put this on with a little light powder over it make my skin look nice and even (I have within in the past two years developed an acne product and tend to at various times have many red blemishes on my face) without applying full make-up.
My second use for the this is if I am going to attend some sort of an event or know I am going to have a very long day (12 hours) where I know my make-up just will not look the same by the time my day is over. I apply this under my foundation almost like I primer. I find it gives me an amazing base and even after sleeping in my make-up (I know I know never sleep in your make-up but I admit it happens) I even wake up with my make-up still look good if I apply this before my foundation. I never wear the same make-up for two days but if you can wake up with what I call the TV look (waking up looking ready to start the day) this product is well worth it as it means my make up will not fade during those long days when I need it stand up.
I absolutely love this product and I would have to guess others in my area do as well as it looks me weeks to find it, everytime it went on sale they sold out of it. If you can find this on sale it is amazing deal and you use so little I do not think I will be replacing this bottle anytime soon.

It really saddens me to have to write this review. I LOVE St Ive's fascial products but this one did not work for me. I found it made my face tingle in a bad way, I found I just wanted to keep rinsing my face even after all the prodcut was completely rinsed off my face. At first I thought it was the prodcut trying to work as I did have really really bad breakouts at the time but I just could not do it. I actually found myself after getting out of the shower and putting hot water on the cloth and leaving it sit on my face and if I go it anywhere near my eyes even in rinsing (which is impossible not to do when you are rinsing it off your forehead) it irritated my eyes and they would still feel funny up to an hour later.
I will continue to buy many other ST Ive's products but this not one I will purchase again which is sad as I love the whole apricot line.

I love granola bars as in eat many of them a day (I am currently trying to cut back to 1 a day). These are my favourite and I love all of them in the sweet and salty line. I usually buy the big mega pack which lately goes on sales on $3.99 and I have a bunch of $1.00 coupons so I was getting 12 bars for $2.99. As well I have noticed the smaller boxes going on sale even cheaper lately which is great.
These bars have the most amazing flavour and are one of the most filling granola bars out there. I tend to eat these for breakfest at my desk and although they do not fill me up for the whole morning they do last alot longer than any other granola bar. These have the best flavour but than again I am a sucker for anything sweet and salty. This is the one granola bar you will always find in my house.

I have to admit we are a bounty house but a few years ago when one of our cats got sick and we were going through more papertowel than anyone house hold should (I should have bought stocks in papertowel, it was insane) we ran into a time when bounty was not on sale and we NEEDED papertowel. We went shopping and our choice for a cheap papertowel to get us until Bounty went on sale was no name or sponge towels, thinking sponge towels would be better than the no name paper towel we got the sponge towels. Big mistake we could not clean anything up with them, they did absorb liquids well the liquids just leak through onto your hand but at the same time it took forever to clean up any mess.
After this experience I always keep atleast one extra large pack of bounty around.

I was very torn about purchasing this product as it was we were already using packs and had gone years without this product so why do I need it now? I am always one to question if I need something or will it just be more money out of my already tight grocery budget. With our old dishwasher I did not notice much of a difference but when we moved our new dishwasher is not as good as our old dishwasher and I now do see the need to use this product. It defently improves the performance of our dishwasher and you do notice when it needs to be refilled. The only downside is that it yet again product I need to buy. -
