I quite enjoy the natural rose & vanilla scent of this deodorant. It feels gentle on the skin and hasn't caused any irritation on the skin. It keeps the underarms dry for the whole day, which is great because nobody likes the feeling of sweaty pits. It unfortunately did not keep odour in control for the whole day, but this typically happens to me with aluminum-free deodorants, so it is something I have to reapply. Overall, I think this deodorant performs well given it is aluminum-free. -

Nectarine Petal is a part of the CLEAN RESERVE H2EAU collection, which is a water-based fragrance collection. I liked how it smelled upon first application. It opened up with a sweet, juicy nectarine scent, but quickly dissipated and then I got the floral notes. I am sensitive to some fragrances with floral notes as they sometimes give me headaches. Unfortunately, the Nectarine Petal leaned a little bit too floral on me and I couldn’t wear it for too long. Because of that, I cannot comment on its longevity or lasting power on the skin. It’s a shame because I do enjoy the sweet, nectarine notes of this fragrance, but I have had better luck with other scents in this collection. -
Blue Lizard Australian Sensitive Sunscreen

I like that this sunscreen is sensitive skin friendly being a mineral sunscreen. I don't get much of a scent from it. It also doesn't sting the eyes. I really like how it doesn't leave the skin feeling greasy either. I haven't experienced any skin irritation or breakouts while using this sunscreen. The only downside I've experienced with this sunscreen is it does leave quite a bit of a white/blue cast on the face so I did have to rub it in quite a bit for that to go away. -

This serum wowed me upon first application and continues to impress me the more I use it. I have super dry and sensitive skin and my face seems to love this serum and just drinks this stuff up! Everything from the packaging to the serum's texture is just *chef's kiss.* The bottle is glass, which makes it feel luxe - but it is also recyclable, which is great to see in a product. The serum itself is lightweight and fragrance-free and leaves your skin feeling instantly refreshed and velvety smooth without that tacky feeling afterwards. It spreads and absorbs on the skin beautifully and you don't need to pump out a bunch to get your whole face covered, which is nice to know that I won't run out of it super quickly. Not only does it provide instant hydration, but I've also noticed it has improved the texture of my skin with continued use of it. I have tried my fair share of hydrating serums and this one most definitely does not disappoint. Dare I say my new favourite hydrating serum? -

I have previously used an older formulation or different variation of this product that had more of a typical gel-like consistency and I can confidently say that the Hydro Boost Gel Cream Extra-Dry formulation is way more suited to my skin type. I have super dry and sensitive skin and although gels feel soothing on the skin, they typically don't provide me with enough moisturization. The packaging is luxe-feeling as it's glass, but it's also recyclable which is great to see. It is also fragrance-free which is much appreciated for sensitive skin. This is advertised as a gel cream and I definitely get both the gel and the cream aspects of it. It is like a gel in that it has a cooling and soothing sensation on the skin, yet it also provides the creaminess and moisturization of a standard cream formulation. This cream is lightweight but hydrating. It leaves a tiny bit a of greasy feeling on the skin initially, but absorbs quickly so I'm not too bothered by that. Overall, I am enjoying using this as a daily moisturizer and think it complements the Hydro Boost Ultra Hydrating Serum well in my daily skincare regimen. -

I was super excited to be able to try out a scent from the CLEAN RESERVE H2Eeau collection as I’ve enjoyed some of the fragrances from the regular collection.
This is the first fragrance I’ve tried that is water-based as opposed to alcohol and I was surprised by the strength and longevity of this scent - it lasted around 5-6 hours on my skin. This is not typically the scent profile I go for as sometimes scents with floral notes give me a headache, but so far, this fragrance hasn’t bothered me. Upon the first spray, you get hit with a blast of a clean, almost laundry-type scent, but that dissipates after a few minutes and the floral/citrus notes come through. The dry down on me is a bit more of a cozy/musky scent, which is more up my alley of fragrances.
Overall, I think this is a great addition to my fragrance collection and I look forward to using it more throughout the spring and summer seasons.

Starting with the positives, I appreciate this eye gel being fragrance-free as I do have sensitive skin. This serum is lightweight and hydrating. It absorbed well and didn’t leave my skin with a sticky/greasy feeling.
Unfortunately, this product claims to be gentle enough for sensitive skin and while it did not cause any more redness to my already rosacea-prone, sensitive skin, I found it always stung/burned after applying. For that reason I, unfortunately, was not able to use this serum daily for a longer period to test results therefore I cannot comment on any type of improvements on the skin. I tried to use it daily for about a week, but unfortunately, this serum just did not work well with my skin so I eventually had to stop.

First off, I will start with the positives - I appreciate this eye gel being fragrance-free as I do have sensitive skin. Surprisingly, for a gel, this has a pretty thick consistency, but still provides a lightweight feel. I also like that the gel has a sort of cooling sensation. It absorbed well and didn’t leave a sticky/greasy feeling.
Unfortunately, I found this product to sting/burn upon application. Seeing as this also happened with the Calm + Restore Age Renewal Serum, I think my skin doesn’t agree with one of the ingredients, which is a shame as I did like the consistency of this eye gel. I did try to use the product daily for about a week but had to discontinue using it, therefore, I cannot comment on any improvements around the eye area.

I have to say I am super impressed with these little patches! I have used similar hydrocolloid patches on pimples in the past, so I figured that I wouldn't have any issues with skin reactions trying the Mighty Patch patches out, but what really stood out to me was how well these stuck to my face! I had a pesky pimple in the crease between my nostril and cheek so I figured I'd try to place a patch there before going to sleep. I wasn't too hopeful it would stay on as that's a bit of a tricky area plus I also sleep with a CPAP mask, but lo and behold it stayed put all night! I did notice the next morning that my pimple was noticeably less red and much more flat, and by the second day, it was virtually gone. All in all, I think these live up to their name. These truly are "Mighty

Upon first impression, I think the flavour is great and also doesn’t leave a funny aftertaste. They aren’t overly sweet and have a bit of a tartness to them. I also have to say I really enjoy the texture of these as they are probably the best texture of gummies I’ve ever tried. They are super soft but not sticky. They are a bit grainy, but I didn’t find it an issue. I can’t really comment on the benefits/effectiveness as I feel I’d need a longer trial period of more than 4 gummies to really form an opinion. All in all, I enjoyed the samples and I’m definitely considering adding these gummies to my daily regimen to help support my immune health!
