Renee's Gourmet Caesar Salad Dressing

I've started to notice this is getting hard to find near me, which is disappointing because it is the best caesar dressing I've tried. I find a lot of other caesar dressings are just full of salt/sodium to try and get that 'caesar flavour' but this isn't salty, it's actually flavourful and creamy. It's thick and I find that once I start mixing it into my salad I don't need very much, and it tastes so good. It's a little on the pricey side compared to your typical grocery store salad dressings, but each jar lasts me a while and it's definitely worth it for the taste. -

I'm normally not fond of a lot of the healthier foods out there (like chia seeds, avocado, etc.) but these Hemp Hearts are so good! I will literally eat a small pinch of them on their own and enjoy the nutty flavour, but I also mix them into salads, yogurt, sprinkle them on toast and try to find any way I can to eat them because they're so good but the flavour can be really subtle when they're mixed into other things. If you're calorie-conscious, it's best to double check how much you're eating (a small amount is fairly high-calorie but also full of protein and healthy fats, but it's easy to over-do it if you aren't careful) but I find that I don't even need a huge amount to add a nice texture and hint of flavour to whatever food I'm eating. I really like that the flavour seems to work well with both sweet and salty foods, so the possibilities are endless! -
Garnier SkinActive Clearly Brighter Brightening & Smoothing Moisturizer

After trying a different Garnier moisturizer a while ago, I told myself i wouldn't bother with Garnier skincare anymore because it made my skin look awful. I'm so glad I reconsidered that and tried this when it was on sale, because I really, really like it and will definitely repurchase it, even at full price. This moisturizes well without leaving any sort of film on my skin (a problem I found with other moisturizers with SPF), and I really like the smell of it too! Once my skin absorbs it, there's no stickiness or anything, my skin just feels soft. I also love that it has SPF and will probably try the SPF30 version when I run out of my current bottle with SPF15. -
Hask Macadamia Oil Hair Mask

This mask is a must-have for me. I switch between this and the HASK Keratin Protein mask occasionally, but this one is the one that really started saving my hair a while ago. My hair can get dry, and my scalp gets really dry too, but a lot of masks and conditioners leave my hair feeling really heavy and my scalp looking oily, no matter how much I rinse them out. This mask leaves my hair soft, light, and hydrated, and it has never left my scalp oily. I also really love the smell of it, and the fact that I can get multiple uses out of a single packet. It's a bit more expensive than some hair treatments that come in a tube or jar, but for less than $3/packet which lasts me weeks, it's still an okay price (and 100% worth my money.) -
Aveeno Pure Renewal 2-in-1 Shampoo and Conditioner
I'd love if I could get this in a travel size, because it works well enough that I'd be okay about using it for a few days on vacation (and not having to deal with both shampoo and conditioner bottles), but it's not an every-day product for me. I... +
I'd love if I could get this in a travel size, because it works well enough that I'd be okay about using it for a few days on vacation (and not having to deal with both shampoo and conditioner bottles), but it's not an every-day product for me. I found it worked well enough that if I was in a real rush and didn't have time to shampoo and condition, my hair didn't end up deadly dry, but I wouldn't rely on it for regular use without using any conditioner. If my hair wasn't already on the dry side, I might be more inclined to use it more often. I did also notice that while my scalp is usually really dry after using separate shampoo and conditioner, it was much less dry after using this. -
Maybelline New York Great Lash Mascara

No matter how many other drugstore mascaras I try, I always ended up back at this one (so I stopped even trying other ones.) It doesn't clump, it defines my lashes, it doesn't run or flake, I don't need multiple applications, and it's the least expensive mascara I can find. I've had so many problems with other mascaras flaking or clumping, I thought maybe I was applying them wrong, but I have no issues with this mascara so now it's my go-to. It's also easy to remove, I don't have to scrub to get it off (and make my lashes fall out), but stays on when I'm wearing it. For everyday wear, it will always be the best for me. -

I bought this because my skin was starting to get really dry, and I didn't have a dedicated night time cream to use, so I figured I'd try something inexpensive and see how it went. It did not go well. My skin started breaking out and I tried to just stick it out and tell myself it just had to get used to the overnight moisturizing, but it just didn't work out so I had to stop using it. I really wanted to love this because I really love Nivea's Soft cream, but it just didn't work for my skin at all. Other than breaking out, I did find it nice to use (no weird smell, no oiliness, etc.) so I would at least recommend trying it if you are looking for something at a lower price. -

I LOVE this cream. I originally tried the hand cream squeeze bottle, and when that ran out I bought the smaller travel sized jar. I got comments more than once about how soft my hands were from strangers after shaking hands - that is how soft it made my hands. After using it as just a hand cream for so long, I was away on vacation and my travel size jar of this was the only cream that I could pack in my carry-on. My face was really dry on my trip (near the mountains, so weather wasn't very consistent) so I used this cream, and my face looked legit amazing. I usually use moisturizer with SPF as my daily face moisturizer, and I was worried about using what I thought was a "heavy" cream on my face (which tends to break out easily if I change any of my skincare too much) but my skin loves this cream. -

I'm normally a $4 Great Lash person, and it works out really well for me on a regular basis, so when I was given a sample of this mascara as a gift I wasn't too optimistic about it. My basic drugstore mascara has always been good enough for me, and trying pricier mascaras has never worked out in my favour before, but I will have to reconsider after this. I can be heavy-handed with my mascara, but this mascara and wand made my lashes look amazing without me looking like I put too many layers on. It seems to coat even the tiniest, most invisible ends of my lashes and make them look a bit thicker/darker without looking blotchy or ending up with clumps. It's not something I can afford to use as a daily mascara (and on many days I don't wear mascara at all anyways) but if I'm going to an event or out somewhere other than a usual daytime thing, this mascara makes my eyes pop (even from behind my glasses) without me having to go through the process of wearing false lashes or applying multiple coats and trying to curl my stubborn lashes over and over. -
Batiste Dry Shampoo PLUS Heavenly Volume
I've been looking for a dry shampoo to use when I've heat-styled my hair and want to get another day out of my efforts to curl it/straighten it/etc. This is the first dry shampoo I've tried that actually allowed me to wear my hair down for a 2nd day... +
I've been looking for a dry shampoo to use when I've heat-styled my hair and want to get another day out of my efforts to curl it/straighten it/etc. This is the first dry shampoo I've tried that actually allowed me to wear my hair down for a 2nd day in a row. Other dry shampoos made my hair look clean enough that in a ponytail/bun you couldn't tell it wasn't washed, but if I tried wearing my hair down it looked flat and heavy. This dry shampoo actually made my hair feel clean and dry (not just look matte), and added volume (which I can always use!) I am constantly touching my hair/running my fingers through it when it's down, which tends to make it look oily faster, and this dry shampoo made my hair look fresh without feeling waxy or stiff. -
