First of all, I love the cute tin with mirror and sharpener that it comes with. I got the shade Retro and it's a gorgeous brick red for the Fall/Winter months. It also has fairly decent staying power. As with many matte lip colours, it can be a little drying. But with lip balm underneath, that isn't an issue (although it would affect the lasting power). -

I really love this vitamin c serum. It makes my face look amazing and I can see dark spots and acne scars fading. The serum layers well with sunscreen and foundation. The only down side is the price tag. If you can afford the $240 price, then I highly recommend it. -

I really like the cardboard packaging and the amount of product. This is twice the product size of other natural deodorants and is worth it. This product works well to keep smell at bay, but it won't keep the sweat away. The unscented version is a great bonus for people who don't like heavy scents. One of the cons is the push up feature. I noticed that it doesn't stay in the packaging and slides down. But other than that, it's a decent deodorant. -

I really enjoy this product. The scent when it first comes out of the bottle is like sunscreen but it fades away to a like pineapple/tropical scent. As someone who usually wears fragrance free products, I didn't find the scent overbearing; in fact, I quite liked it. After 30 minutes or so, the smell goes away. The product is lightweight and perfect for the summer and on lazy days when I don't want to do my full morning skincare routine. I haven't used the product long enough to determine if it's actually brightening, but it works great as a light moisturizer with SPF. I would definitely repurchase this. -
Garnier Fructis Hydrating Aloe Treat Shampoo for Dry, Damaged Hair

This shampoo has a very nice scent and the bottle packaging is aesthetically pleasing. It doesn't dry out the hair and it's hydrating enough that I don't even need conditioner. I like how the ingredient list is printed uniquely on the bottle and how the shampoo contains a lot natural ingredients.
The only negative thing is the price. When I see the brand Garnier, I think about cheap and affordable shampoo. The price around $7-8 is more that what I would personally pay for Garnier. At that price range, there are many alternative brands that use organic ingredients.

This cream has a nice, light scent that fades over time and it is moisturizing but I didn't see any rosy glow that it claimed. I recommend it for normal skin only and it should be avoided if you have combination skin like me, as it gets oily around the T-zone. I'm not really a big fan of the ingredient list and was surprised it was included in the Eco Box. It may be vegan but it still contains a handful of chemicals.
The deluxe sample comes in a tube but I find that due to the cream texture, it is hard to squeeze out an even amount. The full size is in a jar and probably won't have this problem.
Overall, it's not a super expensive cream, but you can easily find something similar at the drugstore.

I really like the packaging of this product; especially since everything is biodegradable or recyclable and no plastic was used. Each tea temple has the perfect amount of tea leaves so when you pour hot water, the tag doesn't fall into the mug.
The flavour is delicious with a subtle sweetness to balance out the rooibus. And you can tell this is a high quality tea because it doesn't have a dry and grainy aftertaste. This tea tastes great both with hot water and cold. I like how one tea temple is flavourful enough that I can make 2 or 3 cups of tea.
The only downside is the price. If you look at it based on 100g, it will cost over $22. It is way more expensive than other high quality teas. I will probably purchase this in the future if it goes on sale.

This deodorant has the typical plastic packaging but the key thing that I like about it is that it uses natural ingredients and is free of aluminum, parabens, and artificial fragrances. Because of the natural ingredients, I think people with sensitive skin can use it as well and the scent is nice and light. You get a good amount of product (50g) and it's reasonably priced compared to other natural deodorants.
However, it's not a strong antiperspirant for people who sweat during exercise. I found my shirt to still be wet when I exercised. I think it should be used for moderate movement. The odour protection seems to work, but then again I have little to no body odour to begin with. The only other negative I have with this product is the white streaks that transfers onto dark clothing. I don't recommend using this product while wearing sleeveless shirts because you can see white marks.

After buying the 200mL. I went out and bought the 400mL. Being in the young adult range, breakouts are reoccurring annoyances. But this cleanser has helped a great deal. Using it twice a day, it removes oil and makeup; leaving my skin feeling squeaky clean. Used along with the Normaderm toner and moisturizer, my skin is clearing up and is prepped for the day without makeup. -
Simple Kind to Skin Oil Balancing Wipes
I personally have extremely oily skin. It did remove most of my makeup, however, I did not find it oil balancing. My nose was still very oily within a couple of hours.
