This is an interesting exfoliator. It doesn't have any grainy texture which I find can often irritate my skin.
It is quite creamy, almost like a thick moisturizer consistency. It easily washes off without any residue left behind and my skin feels very soft. I don't feel it has improved the texture of my skin any better than other gentle exfoliators would.

I really like this balm as it's unscented and contains such a soothing ingredient; Colloidal Oatmeal. The texture is gel-like, and goes on clear. It really blends into my skin with just a gentle rubbing motion for a few seconds, leaving it feeling soft and hydrated. No stickiness either! -

I really like the quantity of each bottle of Bai drinks and they are reasonably priced. The clementine flavour is subtle, but it was still refreshing to take with me on my recent travels. I felt very hydrated.
It's only 1 g of sugar which is great too.
My only issue is that I would love it if they could remove the Erythritol sweetener or at least put more flavours without it, as I find there is a weird aftertaste with a bit of tummy upset a few hours later after consuming this particular drink.

I enjoyed trying this Vanilla Trilogy ice cream. I could really taste the vanilla flavour right from the first spoonful. It is very creamy and rich, so a few bites is plenty. It was also easy to scoop out of the container, where some ice cream can be very difficult. A yummy treat and a new favourite from Chapmans to purchase. -

The scent is very light and usually Clarins does have some heavily scented products, so this was a nice change. The formula is very silky, so the cream really blends into my skin well with minimal effort, leaving it touchably soft and oh so smooth. I also like that there's no greasy feel afterwards at all. This cream is great for me as I deal with more on the drier skin now that I'm in my 40's. -
CLEAN RESERVE Sparkling Sugar
Great ingredients and a brand that is cruelty free and good for the planet. I really do like this perfume a lot and can smell peaches and jasmine mainly. It's very light but has a nice sweetness.

hello® goodbye plaque, hello whitening fluoride free toothpaste - natural peppermint

I am really keen on keeping up with my dental hygiene and visit my dentist every 3 months for cleanings. I do have a permanent retainer on the bottom so plaque tends to naturally build up there. I have tried many toothpastes, but this is the first time on using one without fluoride.
There is definitely a distinct taste difference among peppermint flavours and this one is rather mild. I don't find my teeth feel as clean though and I'm not enjoying the peppermint - maybe because I can really taste the strong tea tree and coconut oil.
Using this 2x daily like I would with other toothpastes, I am not seeing any great results. Also, I wish the hole of the toothpaste was a bit smaller, since a lot comes out with the slightest pressure. Perhaps another flavour might be more appealing, as they do have a lot of different flavours to choose from as well as ones with and without fluoride.

I loved how this scrub made my skin feel so soft. The scent is very light, so it's not headache-inducing and my eyes haven't watered once.
The crushed walnut shell powder is a great ingredient to just exfoliate the outer layer of my skin but in such a gentle way. Many scrubs I have used have a gritty texture and that seems to be very harsh on my skin, creating redness and sometimes a lot of itchiness.
It's very easy to rinse off too. I alternated using just my hands to rinse off, and then seeing how it felt with a wash cloth on other days.

I was really hoping to love this one but although great protection with SPF 50, this was disappointing mainly because of the intense white cast it left on my face, regardless of how long I rubbed it in. The formula is quite thick and tacky too, not silky smooth that I would usually prefer, so it made my skin feel rather uncomfortable and I couldn't wait to wash it off. I am definitely on the naturally pale side, so this is not a good fit for me as an every-day sunscreen. I did try it on my exposed arms and although it still left quite a white cast, I felt it protected my skin well enough, while I was outdoors in the sunshine doing a bit of garden work. -
