The perfect coffee to start my day! I usually opt for a medium-light roast but was pleasantly surprised by how smooth this blend is. The pairing of two different roasts makes for a rich flavour that's not too heavy or bitter. I also love that this particular blend helps to support two initiatives - Community Food Centres and the Morning Glory Cycling Club. Definitely a product you can feel good about buying!

If you're a fan of the original Rénergie H.C.F. Triple Serum, you'll be pleased to know this Eye Serum is equally as good! This absolutely delivers on the results, as it made my dark undereyes less puffy and more hydrated almost instantly. My skin has never looked so glowy when I pair both serums in my skincare routine. While the price tag is a bit rich for my blood, this is definitely worth the splurge! -

I had really high hopes for this foundation , given how much I've loved UD's past complexion formulas. Unfortunately, I gave it a little over an hour before washing it off.
Although this is a liquid foundation, it dries down to a powder finish almost instantly; which means it's almost impossible to blend out. It left my skin looking patchy and uneven, and clung to my dry patches. This might be better suited to those with oily skin types, but if you have dry or combination skin like me I'd steer clear!

If you're looking to treat yourself to a little luxury, this would be a great splurge!
Think of this an elevated tinted lip balm. It gives a beautiful sheer wash of colour that makes your lips look plump and juicy. It's not particularly long-wearing, but I don't mind the occasional touch-up. The packaging is stunning and has a nice weight to it.

This mascara is definitely volumizing, but not in a good way. The thick formula really weighs down my lashes and causes them to droop throughout the day. I had to use my lash comb to help de-clump and better disperse the product.
It's definitely waterproof, though!

I've been a longtime fan of this moisturizer, and I'm so pleased to see it now in a reusable glass jar!
The gel consistency is incredibly lightweight, and yet this packs the hydration better than so many other heavy duty moisturizers I've tried. Best of all, it's gentle enough for my sensitive, rosacea-prone skin! Can't say recommend this enough!

I've been a long time fan of CLEAN fragrances, and knew this scent would be right up my alley. I love bright citrusy scents especially when combined with florals that aren't overpowering.
Nectarine Petal is light and gorgeous for spring - but the scent fades away as quickly as the season. It has very little staying power, which means I have to reapply it throughput the day to maintain the fragrance. I'll happily keep this rollerball in my purse to freshen up on-the-go, but sadly can't see myself repurchasing unless they reformulate this fragrance into their classic lineup.

I was gifted this complimentary in exchange for my review, and had high hopes for this moisturizer given how much I love the Oat Gel moisturizer by Aveeno. Unfortunately, the texture and tone was a total miss. I'm quite fair, but this gave me a ghastly white cast; definitely not suitable for all skin tones, as per their claims. The texture felt sticky and tacky on my skin, and gave me a greasy appearance overall.
I tried to give this product a second chance as a primer under my makeup, but it did not give my foundation/concealer any longevity. I would only recommend this to anyone who is exceptionally pale, though even then I would still have reservations about it.

juliette has a gun sunny side up
I received a mini of this from Sephora and I'm saving up for a full-size! It is a very unique scent; citrusy yet spicy. It makes a great daytime fragrance with just the right amount of sex appeal.

Before trying this, my hands were permanently dry. This has completely changed how my hands look and feel!
While this has a whopping 20% shea butter content, it is also jam packed with wonderfully nourishing coconut, grapeseed, olive and sunflower oils. It may be a thicker consistency, but it's completely non-greasy and melts into the skin for moisture that lasts all day long (even with excessive hand-washing). I don't need to reapply, but sometimes I do just so I can indulge in its rich French Vanilla scent. A little goes a long way; I've had this tube since July and I've only just made a dent in it!
