My new favourite body moisturizer! I like the simple scent and how lightweight it is. It’s now part of my night routine. My sensitive skin doesn’t get inflamed when using this so it’s a win! Also it’s not greasy which is great.

The moisturizer is tinted, so it isn’t white coming out of bottle. It’s to even the skin tone, but I didn’t notice any difference. But it goes on fine and I didn’t notice any colour streaks on my face. There is a bit of a tacky feeling that I don’t get with other moisturizers. This can last for several hours, or one time it lasted most of the day. I’m not sure if I would apply makeup over top of it, but with a good primer it might be okay. I like that it is SPF 30, but I wonder if that has something to do with the sticky feeling it has on my skin.
For the positives, it’s a good moisturizer and I haven’t had any acne breakouts with it. The amount I need for my face is average, so I expect the bottle to last a good while.

Zarbee's® Children's Immunity Syrup (118ml)
Tasted a little and it tastes fairly alright for “mixed berry”. Definitely tastes better than the alternative brands, but I found the effectiveness was about the same.

Children’s TYLENOL® Chewables
Worked in about twenty minutes or so and calmed down a tantrum as well. Had a mild ear infection and we needed something that worked fast, but was gentle enough for children.

While the overnight patches didn’t completely get rid of the acne, or even the appearance of it, it did reduce the swelling. And the redness was greatly reduced. I think it would make wearing makeup a bit easier since it smooths out the surface somewhat, but it didn’t actually reduce the appearance that much for me. So that was a bit disappointing. However, I should note that my acne is pretty aggressive, so for occasional blotches this product might work great! -

I was very excited to try the coconut flavour since that is my favourite drink. But making coconut smoothie drinks can be super high in calories. This satisfied the coconut craving without the high calories. Which is fantastic for me, since I’m always trying to find lower calorie alternatives. Overall a very delicious and refreshing drink. I put it in my own drinking glass and headed outside under my awning to pretend I’m near the equator. -

This worked amazing for my sisters hair. She has thicker and longer hair than my own and worked exactly as described. I, however, have very fine and thin hair. I need to wash it once a day or it gets super oily. So I was skeptical of using this product. It did work, but it didn’t last as long as it says on the packaging. But I do have very unusual hair, so I was happy for the additional oil control. It was not enough for me to skip a day washing it, but I could definitely feel a difference for a few hours and that was very nice. -
Colgate Total Clean Mint Toothpaste Repair Reverse Refresh
Switched from a slightly more expensive brand for sensitive teeth to this one. Noticed no difference and the taste of wasn’t burning mint. Would definitely recommend.
