I grabbed this shampoo at my local pet store because the packaging was super cute and it looked like it would smell really nice. I have a 1 year old Bernese mountain dog who had recently been sprayed by a skunk so I was dying for a cute smelling pooch! When I got her in the bath and opened the bottle I couldn't believe how amazing it smelled!! I wish I could use it on myself!! When it washed off, it was still there on her coat but not overpowering. Her coat felt really nice and soft and she didn't get the itch that she usually gets with other shampoos. Will 100% be repurchasing! -

Disclosure - I received these products free for my honest opinion and below I will outline my outline my recommendations on the system as a whole (Body Oil, Firming Cream and Hand Cream) and my findings per product. #gotitfree
System - I have used firming cream by Nivea before and also a few different body oils. My skin concerns are stretch marks EVERYWHERE from knees up to my sides and under my arms. These stretch marks were caused by Prednisone so they remain thick despite my weight. As I'm sure you can imagine, I have tried everything to be rid of them. I wanted to wait until the last possible Day to write this review so I could comment on the effectiveness towards old stretch marks. Well, I was pleasantly surprised!! The two products combined REALLY DID help to increase firmness and skin tone! On some of the really loose parts (inner thighs) it didn't do much, but everywhere else felt and looked more tight and uniform in colour.
Method - This is a lengthy application and I didn't have time for it every day, so I applied it after I showered which is about every 2-3 days. RECOMMENDATION- Use an Exfoliating mitt or gloves in the shower before you apply. You will thank me later :)
Hand Cream - One weird thing about me is that I absolutely cannot go to sleep with dry hands and feet...it causes legitimate anxiety lol ... so I have a huge collection of hand cream and this was a really nice addition. I committed to using only this on my hands and feet while reviewing the products and I didn't wake up once to reapply. I didn't notice any difference otherwise but I'm young enough that I don't have any signs of ageing in my hands. Great product!

Firming Cream - The cream had a lovely and subtle scent to it, just like the body oil. I truly believe it was the combination of both products that provided such great results. I found that when I applied the body oil, I didn't need nearly as much lotion and the lotion went on much easier.
100% recommend!

Body Oil - The oil has such a lovely scent to it...not too overwhelming and it doesn't linger all day. Really nice to apply before bed. I used it all over my body and found that you really don't need a lot. Your skin soaks it up quickly and in my experience, it made my body lotion last long because I didn't need as much when applying over top of the oil. The two products really complement each other well and I'm not sure if I would have received the same benefits had I only used one product.
I will be using this for life now! (Or until it stops working)
Thank you for allowing me to test these products out, they really were amazing and I'm so pleased with the results.

I've been eating these chips since I was 8 and they never disappoint. They are the perfect amount of spice for me and don't taste artificial. The heat really catches up to you when stop eating them so they can be quite addictive and a bag can quickly disappear. My fave thing to do is to grab both the jalapeño and sea salt and vinegar and go chip for chip *drool* -

I received this in my fab fit fun box and wasn't expecting to like it as much as I did. I have super dry and damaged hair and already use a leave in. I tried this instead of the usual one night, twisted my wet hair in a bun and slept on it. The next day my hair was soft and had nice little waves in it (still slightly damp). Usually I would have had to add more products or style my hair but it left it so nice I didn't have to. Very impressed!! -

I will always know these as the "original" oil absorber sheets. These were and are a life saver for my combo skin in the summer. It's so satisfying and gross when you see how much oil comes off and the sheet goes transparent. It doesn't mess up your makeup either which is great. -

I've used this mask 3 times now and here are my thoughts...
- You don't need a lot so it will last a long time
- It has a unique smell ... not bad but kind of plant like
- The tingle is really nice ... not overwhelming (mind you, I'm used to acids)
- It uses natural AHAs so it's different from regular Glycolics
- It leaves skin looking AMAZING
- It can be a bit hard to wash off so definitely using a clean, warm wash cloth as the instructions suggest is a must
- I suggest using a toner afterwards to ensure all of the product is off
All in all I really enjoy this product. Sephora has it for the cheapest price (even compared directly to Herbivore's website)

This oil is wonderful! It's more on the dry oil side and if you know a thing or two about skincare, looking at the ingredients list you will understand why it's so great. I chose this oil because I really wanted to incorporate blue tansy (the ingredient) into my routine and SUNDAY RILEY Luna Sleeping Night Oil is 1) Super expensive and 2) has chemical dye in it that is banned in the EU as causing cancer, so that was a big no no for me. The bottle is HUGE and will certainly last a long time. I have been using it daily, sometimes twice daily, for about a week now, and while it's still too early to say if it's working, I have noticed clearing in my spots and just general suppleness. I will be continuing with this product and updating my review in a month or so. -
