I really wanted to love this product. Having used many Dove products over the years, I was really excited about the concept of a mousse conditioner.
As always, the product featured a nice floral scent common for Dove products. I really liked that the mousse allowed me to concentrate applying the product to my ends without the product “slipping” off my wet strands. Marketed as lightweight moisture, sadly the product ended up being mostly air and I had to use theee large golf ball sized applications to even feel the product in my hair, and barely there at that.
While it rinsed out nicely and cleanly. Unfortunately it was just not substantial enough a moisturizing product for my incredibly dry hair. Hair was not easily detangled.
That being said, it was an incredibly long cold winter here in Alberta and spending my days in front of a space heater at work, has left my hair in worse shape than normal. Very dry, frizzy and staticky.
I do think this product would be a better fit when my hair doesn’t leave as intense moisture. I’d be happy to give it another shot this Summer when a lighter weight product would be appreciated.
While this wasn’t a good fit right now, it doesn’t discourage me from Dove products in the future.

I purchased this particular product by accident. I had intended to get my usual Red Pepper version but inadvertently grabbed the wrong one. I was worried as I don't typically like things that are too spicy, but this was just right! This product featured the usual great taste and value of all savra products. I think the prices are very reasonable and are available at many of my local grocers so convenience is great.
I also really like that they offer several different flavours so that you can try them all!

We had the opportunity to test out this new product for the past 2 weeks and have been very happy with it! Firstly, this product is Grain-Free - the first 13 ingredients are meat and then chock full of vegetables! I was incredibly pleased to see that this wasn't full of filler and my girl was eating better than I was!!
We started off by adding small amounts of the new food to her existing brand, in order to ease the transition and avoid any upset stomach. Since she already suffers from sensitive tummy issues, that's always a concern, but we didn't have any issues with this, despite/because of the high protein and fibre content, things were A-ok on that front. She also chose to meticulously pick out all the tiny "new" kibble first, since it obviously smelled appealing and was probably seen as a treat.
One thing I did notice was that her coat was noticeably softer. It's been said that gluten can definitely have a negative affect on human hair and skin so I was not surprised to see this as a side effect of the new food. Three visitors to the house also mentioned she was "so soft". I consider her short coat to be typically bristly so it was nice that others noticed it too!
It's always hard to tell if food ever changes her energy levels, as being a boxer, she always has the go-go-go characteristics of a puppy, but there were no negative changes to her demeanor so that's always a plus!
My only qualms about this product is obviously the price. At $31.00/ 2.27 kg bag, if we were to purchase the same size bag that we do of her current food (13.60 kgs) it would cost us almost $200/mth!!! That's three times the amount currently being spent. While I do realize that you're obviously paying more for quality ingredients, that's quite the jump to consider.
Overall, we were really impressed with this product and Finley LOVED IT!!! I would not hesitate to recommend this product to anyone looking to make the move to a Grain-Free dog food!

This is by far, the best Dry Shampoo I've ever used. It smells absolutely amazing and works great at refreshing 2nd Day hair. Also pretty good at adding volume on my super fine hair. My only complaint is the white residue, I would much prefer a coloured version. Price point on this is a little higher than most drugstore options, but considering it works much better, I don't mind the added cost. -

I picked this up as a gift pack from Costco for stocking stuffers. I had never tried the lotion before, but everyone I know is a big fan of the lip balms so figured it would be a hit! I really like the relatively slim packaging- works nicely for tucking in a pocket or evening a clutch for going out. The cap is a little tough to open but I appreciate that I don't have to worry about it opening in my bag.
The lotion is nicely, but very lightly fragranced- I appreciate that they focused more on making sure the formula was actually moisturizing and not just smelled good.

Tried Zoya nail polish for the first time this weekend courtesy of a subscription box and I have to say that I am really impressed! I was actually surprised that this is a natural, toxin free polish as it is very long wearing!!! However, this went on nicely saturated, even and without streaks!
The Color is a nice deep berry color- perfect for fall and winter. I'll definitely be seeking this brand out in the future when I'm polish shopping!

I received this product free to try courtesy of Chick Advisor and Vichy, however the opinions are my own. I have to say I was very impressed with the size they sent and the beautiful product packaging! The top of the lid even functions as a mirror, if you find yourself without! My first impression was that the product had a lovely scent- it might be a bit strong for anyone with allergies but I quite liked it, light floral. The consistency was gel-like and I was a bit worried as I'd used gel/balms in the past and didn't find they worked well with my skin, which is combination. Thankfully, this was not the case here- the gel absorbed into my skin within minutes and I wasn't left with a weird feeling on my face as I slept!
Even better? I noticed a huge improvement in my skin, I was actually starting to look well rested, even though as an insomniac, I definitely never am.
As someone with sensitive, acne-prone skin, I am constantly worried about mixing up my skin care routine, for worry that I will bring forth a break-out, but I didn't have a negative reaction to this product in the least. I'm really happy and have swapped out my regular moisturizer for this as part of my skin's night routine! Very impressed!

I received this product as part of the #GoshGoddess Product Review Club. I was very happy to see that my shadow stick arrived in the color "plum" which was a color I would regularly choose, with my green eyes! The stick was easy to apply, the product nice and creamy. Unfortunately, there was far too much glitter in the product for me to wear on a daily basis and would be much better for a night out!
That being said, I predominantly used this product as a liner, instead of a shadow stick and really liked it. I had pretty good staying power as well!

I received this product as part of the #GoshGoddess Product Review Club.
I always have a hard time with mascara and can never find one that works well for me - until now that is! I was pleasantly surprised with the Gosh Crazy Volume Mascara. The large fibre bristled brush deposits a ton of mascara on your lashes, but they somehow still managed to be nicely covered but still separated.
One of my biggest issues usually with mascara is that it weighs my lashes down too much and even with a lash curler, they still droop shortly after applying. Not with this one! My lashes with nicely curled and defined!!
One thing I did notice is that it did smudge/transfer a bit onto my lower lashes. Thankfully this resulted in a look that I applied it there and worked well!

I was a little leery at first over the color I received, as it was a little more red than I typically would have picked but I was pleasantly at how much I liked the color when it was on! It went on like a creamy lip gloss and had a nice watermelon smell/taste which was nice since laquers are something stinky. The first time I tried it, it lasted the whole morning, including through breakfast!!
I really liked this product!
