I received this product for review and I was happy to receive it!
I typically use Neutrogena products as I find they are mild enough for my sensitive skin but provide great moisture and effectiveness.
I am a very pale person and I burn quite easily. I am always on the look out for a good sunscreen for my face and body and this did not disappoint. I will be using it all summer... if summer ever comes to Canada! Its been snowing a lot but I still used the moisturizer everyday to see how it held up.
I was happy to see it did not make my face really greasy looking like some sunscreens can do and it absorbed quickly so that was a plus.
It did not have an overwhelming scent either which I tend to notice on other products and it causes me headaches.
I look forward to using this product again once we get some sunshine in Canada!

I sweat a lot. I was happy when deodorant companies were coming out with clinical proof ones that helped with excess sweating and odour. I usually stick with the same 2 deodorants but the store was out of stock on both so I chose this one.
First off the smell was a bit much for me. I am not a fan of perfume and often buy clean simple scented products. I figured it wouldn't be so bad by the name but it was quite strong.
The other issue was it left my underarms feeling gunky. It absorbed in but as the day went on its as if the product resurfaced on my skin and got gunky. I noticed it on my shirts and the smell of it mixing with my body heat was not a pleasant smell and made me feel like I had just done an intense workout at the gym.
I tried to use it until it was done as I don't like to waste things but the smell of it was just too much and I ended up going and buying my regular deodorant that I normally wear and tossing this one.
It could just be me and other people really like this deodorant but I did not.

I use lip balm over any other type of lip makeup. I like keeping my lips moisturized and when you live in a cold environment like Alberta it can cause for some seriously dried chapped lips.
I really like using Burt's Bees Lip Balm especially the Peppermint flavoured one as it coats your lips well with out it being overly greasy. It doesn't taste awful if you lick your lips and its a natural product. I like that it adheres well and doesn't come off easily.
Great for windy days and skiing.

I get cold sores. Not as frequently as when i was a kid. I find that you become hyper aware of them and self conscious about it. These Polysporin Cold Sore Patches really mask the cold sore and help to ease the stress of being in public with one.
I don’t honestly know if they help cut the duration of a cold sore for me as I take L-Lysine capsules and use cold sore medication when I am home and before bed but they definitely help me not be so awkward about having one.
They last a long time on you lip as long as you don’t put on lip balm or chapstick, or lip gloss. Lipstick seems to be fine but the others make it less sticky and it ends up coming off.
You get quite a few in a pack and I find I don’t use all of them in one cold sore duration so it’s nice that I have them when I need as they are individually wrapped.

I’m a huge fan of Sun Bum products! I first started using the sunscreen which is very effective and doesn’t feel greasy.
We purchased the after care spray for our trip to Cuba, just for safety in case we got a bit too much sun. Well i am sure happy I bought it. After the first day I had too much sun and was feeling it. I had my husband spray my back and neck with the cool down spray and it was so nice! It absorbed fast, smelt AMAZING! And actually cooled down my skin, by the next morning my skin was no longer red! I used it every day after we came back inside and ended up giving it to some of our family who came with us as they got badly burnt and it helped to soothe their sunburns
I make sure we have it on every trip since then so that in case we get too much sun we have something to ease the sun burn.
It also is a nice light moisturizer for the summer and I often use it when it’s really hot out and I don’t want to spend a ton of time putting on moisturizer.

This product has been with me from the mountains, to our cabin, to Cuba, to California and Arizona.
I am fair skinned and burn after 10 mins of being in the sun. I turn ugly beat red that looks painful even when it’s not. I have always worn sunscreen and complained that it doesn’t work well. I found this sunscreen at the drug store and liked its style and smell and that it was high SPF.
I tried it out the first time going to our cabin. I applied it and set out on my way. It’s not greasy, it doesn’t have a residue and it smells really good! I was also super happy that I didn’t get any sun burns and I came home in the same shade of pale I was when we left.
We have brought it with us on travels and it has passed hot climate sun and cloudy dessert climate well!
My husband also really likes it as he does not like the feeling of lotion and the greasy factor that comes with sunscreen.
I stock up on it every summer.
It is a little pricy but I figure for how well it works I’m willing to pay for it.

I sweat a lot, and I work in an environment where I am in the heat and moving constantly so i work up a sweat.
I use to reapply deodorant a couple times a day and was very conscious of what I wore.
After trying the Dove Clinical Protection I have been so happy about not sweating a ton and also not having sweat marks on my clothes. I only apply it at night before bed and it lasts me a full day even in the hot climate of a restaurant kitchen.
It also doesn’t dry out my underarms like a lot of the clinical deodorants do.
I know some people are not into using the regular deodorants and prefer “natural” alternatives but I unfortunately do not want to scare people off with my sweatiness and possible stickiness.
I am truly happy I found this deodorant and that it works great.

I’m a chef/baker professionally and having a writing tool that works well on labels and doesn’t run or smudge off is a must. I have always carried a sharpie marker and love how it stays put on masking tape or wash off labels. Other permanent markers have never matched up to a sharpie.
They can get a little pricey but I find they last the longest, have a good cap that stays on and they don’t smell to horrible like some permanent markers.
It has become one thing I carry with me because you never know when you need to label something.

I LOVE Starbucks, so having the chance to bring some home and with me on travel is great. I love mochas and especially love the peppermint mocha.
I thought trying this mix out would be great because I am often not close to a Starbucks when I am out visiting family or travelling to remote places.
This mix is good and satisfies my coffee/ mocha fix but it is not exactly the same as the one you’d have made by the barista at the store.
It will however do it’s intended job as giving you a mocha where ever you are.
I tend to steam milk and add it to it but you can just add water.

I am mid 30’s and was looking for a moisturizer that didn’t smell and had hyaluronic acid in it to help keep my skin hydrated and also help ward off wrinkles.
This face gel/cream has been great! It absorbs quickly and doesn’t leave your skin feeling sticky. It feels great after and I’ve noticed my skin is softer and more fresh looking as I’ve used it.
I live in a cold dry climate and this has really helped to keep my skin from being dry and because I have oily skin it has helped in moisturizing without adding oil to my skin and so i have less shine as it moisturizes fully.
