I have ordered 3 times from well.ca. They are always super fast and have a great selection of your everyday common drug store items, plus some great Canadian and organic products. They have fantastic products, really amazing customer service and best all free shipping. They package everything really well too (I ordered organic cleaner and they packaged it separately). Great selection. Try it out for sure, it has changed my shopping experience. -

I am a regular dove user for deodorant and received this as a member of the product review club. First of all, I was really happy with the new scent! Mmmm delicious! It actually stuck with me for most of the day which was a pleasant surprise. This stuff was super invisible, I don't think I had any embarrassing deodorant lines on my clothes while I was testing this. In terms of the "reduction of visible hair" I am not sure yet, probably have to use it for a bit longer. I would definitely keep trying this product after I am out. Dove makes superior deodorants and never leaves residue. This is a definite hit! Thanks product review club!! -

I tried this out and was happy to see that for one thing I wasn't allergic to it (usually i have mild allergies to lip plumpers :)). The product worked in that it took smoothed my lips out and did create a better definition when I applied gloss. I am not sure how much plumper my lips actually got but the fact that it smoothed out fine lines was good enough for me :). I found it easy to use, the only criticism i would have is that the first step (anti-feathering) was a tad messy if you weren't careful with it. I liked the fact that this product only smoothed my lips and wasnt too dramatic, definitely you could use it everyday. I will continue to use it until I run out, but I would probably only treat myself to something like this in the future. Thanks product review club! -

I can't believe i didnt know about it sooner. I have made a few purchases on there (some patterns, a purse, etc) and I have been happy with everything so far! :) -

This is a great little shop in the bloor west village area. It has tons of selection, don't be fooled by the lack of things when you first walk in, they keep most of their stock not on the floor.
Ask for someone to help you!
I needed a strapless bra and the lady found me an amazing one- it didnt move, and it fit perfectly
They are definitely experts and can give you tips on fit and how to make your bra more comfortable and fit you better.
They also take the time to make sure that you are comfortable and that you are wearing the right style and size for you. Much more personal experience than your standard mall store.
I will 100% go back there- I was thrilled with my purchase! Its the first strapless that has fit me great, is so comfortable that I would even wear it when I didnt have to (lol I KNOW!) and didnt move an inch all day and night. (It was a Calvin Klein if you are wondering).
If you need a specific bra, go and see these ladies and they will hook you up. They are more than willing to order too if they dont have your size. They carry sizes that most don't and will find you something you like that fits great!

So I will admit firstly that this is a very costly purchase
If you are into photography and want to treat yourself though, you might want to consider this camera :)
The deal at henrys is awesome, and they have amazing service. I purchased my camera at the Waterloo store, and went with their 100th anniversary bundle. It came with the following which in my opinion is way better than saving a little at best buy for the camera alone:
15.1 MP Digital SLR Camera
w/ Canon EF-S 18-55 IS Lens and EF 75-300mm f/4-5.6 USM II/IIIAF
8GB SDHC Card and at the time I bought a 16GB card
58mm Filter
RC-1 Remote,
$80 School Of Imaging Gift Card (good for one 3- hour class- can be camera specific= very cool)
First off, I liked the fact that this was bundled with everything I needed to get started. From day 1 I could take a wide range of photos and everything worked great together. I ended up using the school of imaging certificate for a Henrys Canon DSLR class which I found pretty good in getting used to what my camera can do.
The camera itself takes amazing photos- pretty much pro quality on full auto. If you like to play around and enjoy photography as a hobby you can pretty much modify every setting and really start to have some fun with it.
I absolutely don't have any sort of buyers remorse; I have already taken some great pictures that I would have never gotten with my point and shoot and can't wait to get even better at photography!
Its very easy to use so dont get intimidated. For the first little while I just used the auto setting but now that I am getting more comfortable with it, I will go into P mode and change some white balance and focus settings to get the picture I want :)
If you can afford to treat yourself, do it :) you will be very happy with your purchase!
We recently attended a wedding for a close family member and got some great shots that they were really happy with. If you are an amateur to avid photographer who wants to get pro looking pictures without dropping huge dollars (aka 4000) on a camera body and still get some lenses to play with and learn more with, this is a great package and I would recommend it to anyone!

For all you photography enthusiasts, even if you are just starting out with DSLR, this is going to be a lens that you say, "honestly, why didn't I buy this the first day I got my camera". First of all this is a portrait lens, so it is very basic, it takes portraits, it doesn't zoom, works best from a few feet away. Its cheap, probably one of the cheapest on the market at around $129. Its metal- a lot of things come in plastic these days. And the best part- it takes newb-proof photos. Honestly you will take stunning portraits on full auto mode.
I have this lens on my T1i and have attached some photos I have taken with it just playing around the first day I got it. My profile pic was also taken with it. It had a very shallow depth of field (aka the stuff you dream of when doing wedding photography). Only what you focus on will be in focus, everything else blurred
Its amazing- please go buy it, even if its the only lens you ever buy. You will love it. I got mine at Henrys and I cant believe I didn't buy it earlier

I bought this on a whim, figuring I would try it to remove my liquid liner. The MAC cosmetics lady assured me it would work well, and it really did for getting off the tough stuff, like liquid liner and mascara. It has lasted me forever also which is nice.
I had kind of forgotten about it, but then I got my makeup done this weekend for a wedding. I had a LOT of eye makeup and bronzer, etc on, and I took one look in the mirror at 2am and felt the impending doom of trying to remove it all and not get it on my beautifully spotless, white, Egyptian cotton sheets. I finally for the first time dug this out and gave it a shot on my whole face. I massaged it in with a soft cotton pad and then just soaked my face with my hands a few times.
And VOILA. Absolutely EVERY bit of makeup was gone. I went from fully done up to completely natural in one wash. I put on some moisturizer and it was like it never happened and I was clean and ready for bed.
This stuff is a lifesaver. Even if you only really makeup once in a while, or you have stubborn mascara or eyeliner, trust me its worth it. Its like a magic eraser for your face.
I have pretty dry skin, and it didnt make me break out, but im not sure how the whole oil remover concept would work on more oily skin. I also have very sensitive skin and am very prone to allergic reactions, but this was incredibly mild and felt great on my skin.
The only weird thing that happens is your eyes kinda cloud a bit after washing.. its really odd, but im not sure if its because im not doing it right or what. No stinging or anything though, so im sure im fine :)

Ok so I was most excited to try these. I definitely use these way more than anything else as a backup to the regular tampon. This is the product i had absolutely wished for FOREVER. I know before they had marketed the "thong specific liner" but this one is incredible because of its versatility. It fit to absolutely every pair of underwear I own. I used to make do with the regular ones, and whenever I wore something that wasnt square on the bottom, i would always end up tugging at the stupid things to get them off. This product however is a godsend. Not once did I have to tug to get it off, it stayed right where I wanted the whole time I wore it and came off effortlessly. I never felt self conscious about the size of them, they were ultra thin and super comfortable. They definitely were a LOT more absorbent than I thought they would be, for the size of them I'm really not sure how they did it. I never felt like they were even there, and I am 100 percent buying these from now on, regardless of cost. They are really THAT good. Please try them, you wont be disappointed.
The only thing that would make them better is putting them into a plastic sleeve for easier carrying in your purse, etc.
