I don’t usually moisturize before going to bed unless I shower in the evening, which is very rare. So it’s a bit hard to give a good review on this cream’s effectiveness overnight. I’ve been using it during the day instead and it’s been keeping my skin well hydrated. It has a thick consistency and also leaves a thin residue on my skin, but still abosrbs well and leaves my skin soft and smooth.
This cream is scentless. So it’s great for people who can’t do scents for whatever reason.

This lotion has a good consistency; it’s neither too thin nor too thick. It doesn’t absorb right away, but it still absorbs fast enough. I find that it leaves a very tiny film on my skin which I don’t like on my hands, but on the rest of my body, I don’t mind. It still leaves my skin feeling smooth and soft.
It has no added perfume. So while it is “scentless”, I always find these kinds of lotions to have a plasticky scent to them, know what I mean? But it’s only if you smell it directly; it does not leave a scent on your body. This is is definitely a good lotion for people with a sensitivity or an allergy to scents. Or for people who work in scent-free environments (like I do).
I received this product for free for review purposes.

This mask kind of has a floral scent that is quite perfumey. I found it ok, but it may be a bit strong for people with scent sensitivities. It was easy to apply, although I wasn't sure how much they meant by using a generous amount. The mask dried in 20-30 minutes and peeled off in one big chunk. There was some small residue left around the face, but that was easy to clean up. I did find the peeling unpleasant on the lower cheeks, but it felt good on the nose and forehead. The mask also removed a few blackheads which I was happily surprised to see. My face felt really soft after peeling off the mask.
I have Dermatographia which means that my skin gets easily irritated, so I knew that a peel-off mask would leave me with a red face, which this mask did. Because of that, I don't know if everyone using this mask would have a red face or not after use.

Pluck Tea in Canadian Maple
The first flavour ingredient in this tea is cocoa and I can definitely smell it and taste it. It’s not as maple-y as I thought it would be, but it’s still so delicious.

David's Tea Stanta's Secret
I absolutely LOVE this tea! It has a mild sweetness from the vanilla and a hint of peppermint, it's so good. You'd even think there was a little bit of chocolate in it, but there is not.

I absolutely LOVE this one!
This exfoliator is in powder form and you mix it with a very small amount of water to create a paste-like texture that you then rub all over your face. I find it best to add a drop of water at a time until you reach the consistency that you want, otherwise it could be too runny and it won’t apply well to your face – it’ll just run down your arms as soon as you raise your hands.
This exfoliant is labelled as gentle enough to be used daily, but I find it a bit harsh for daily use. What I’ve started doing is mixing it with the Firm Skin Açai Cleanser instead of water and it works perfectly! The cleanser gives it a thicker consistency so it’s not as harsh on my face and I can use it daily. It leaves my skin feeling SO SOFT! And when combined with the cleanser my face feels soft and hydrated, it’s really really nice.
This product smells fruity; it smells so good!

Blinc Mascara

I have the hardest time with mascaras because most of them give me raccoon eyes. This one from Blinc is one of the very few that do not! This one does flake on me a bit though, but I'll take flakes over raccoon eyes any day as it's much easier to clean up. This one doesn't give me the oomph I'm looking for, but it's not the most natural looking mascara I've tried either. With 2 coats I'm able to get a decent look with it. -
TRESemmé® Platinum Strength Renewing Deep Conditioning Treatment
I tried this conditioning treatment when I had long hair and it made my hair feel really soft and smooth. I found it even relaxed my wavy/curly hair a bit. I was not a fan of the scent though - really not a fan.

The first time I tried this product, my husband was standing right next to me and said "whoa, what's that smell?!?" - in a bad way. It has a very strong smell, like natural product kind of smell. I first mixed it in water and I had to plug my nose and gulp it down cause it really does not taste good. I then mixed it in orange juice and that made it bearable to drink. The more juice the better - obviously.
I did not notice any improvement in energy levels when taking this product. This product will also turn your urine neon yellow, like multivitamins do.

Adrien Gagnon Decadent Fudge Nutriforme Bars

I really liked these bars. It's hard to get away from that protein bar taste, but these ones do a really good job at it, they taste pretty good. Granted they don't have as much protein as some others do, but it's still a decent amount. I usually have a meal replacement protein shake for breakfast and these bars fill me up just as much. I'll usually reach for a snack after 3-4 hours, but some days I make it to lunch (about 5 hours later).
