This was one of those rare things that an influencer I follow was raving about and I just had to try it too. We eat a lot of fruits and it gets expensive buying precut/prewashed varieties.
I thought I was imagining the fact that whenever I used this my fruits seemed a lot cleaner and tasted better but both my husband and mother-in-law noticed. So this is a staple in our house now.

Supporting Indigenous-owned companies is something that is really important to me and I make a point to try and shop Indigenous before going to any other company. I wasn't aware there was a beauty company so I have tried every liquid lipstick out there. I always had a complaint. Nyx doesn't dry down, KVD dries my lips out too much....etc.
My husband won a gift certificate and I bought my first lipstick. It's one of the liquid lipsticks in the color Wilma. I had no real expectations because I've honestly never found a matte liquid that I loved. But wow, the quality was so much better than I expected.
It smells nice, the consistency is amazing and it was so easy to apply. One coat was all I needed to get an amazing color payoff. It dries down but doesn't cause my lips to feel tight or emphasize the lines in my lips.
Price is at like 29$ but each purchase goes into helping support Indigenous youth. The thank you card that comes with your order is also full of wildflower seeds! You plant the card and flowers grow. The lipsticks are also named after amazing Indigenous women. Overall, this is an amazing company with great products that supports a great cause.

Pantene Curl Affair (Re) Shaping cream

My hair isn't entirely curly. I have some parts at the back of my head that curl while most of my hair is wavy and my hair tends to get dry very easily. I grabbed this on a whim and decided to try it.
It's not entirely consistent but on good days it makes my waves really nice. And as an added bonus my hair is softer and easier to manage, so it works as a leave-in conditioner type product. So I can handle the inconsistency, especially since I've never been able to find a leave-in that didn't weigh my hair down and turn my hair stringy.
The price isn't bad so I'll probably continue to purchase it for the leave-in effects until I find something I like better.

I was using the Ordinary Retinol 1% in squalane for a while. After several bottles, while I noticed a small improvement I felt like I needed something more. I've been using the Vichy liftactive for a few weeks now and I'm loving the way my skin is looking.
It must be a bit stronger than the Ordinary one because I did have a bit of dryness and sensitivity that is so common with retinol. I figured I wouldn't experience much of it because I have been using retinol for the longest time. So I'd use a little caution if you're starting this one, even if you have been using retinol previously.
The directions say to use in the morning but I find that I like it a lot better when I use it at night.
Once I finish this tube I'll see whether I will purchase this again. It's not exactly cheap. But so far I love the direction my skin is headed in.

I am 32 and used to bleach and dye my hair rather religiously. After a terrible experience four years ago, I have been working to get my hair back into shape. As expected, I'm thinning in some areas and chronically dry, brittle, and lackluster.
I am currently on my second bottle of Phytodensia and I'm slowly starting to notice a difference. I have good hair days way more often than not. I am able to air dry my hair without needing to style or apply heat in an attempt to get more volume or smoothness. Now I see a bit more shine and life in my hair.
Phyto isn't really a cheap brand but this is one thing I will continue to splurge on. It's definitely helped me lift my confidence and love my hair more.

The Ordinary Vitamin C Suspension 23% + HA 2%

I was looking to add vitamin c to my routine because my skin needed a little help being a bit more even and bright. The texture is gritty but the consistency is a little greasy. I know it says it's oil-free so I'm not sure why it seems that way. It's okay for use at night but I can't use it during the day because it doesn't seem to sink into my skin. As a result, my bangs tend to soak up the product and become heavy and stringy during the day. No matter how I try to layer it, it just doesn't work for me. For reference, my skin type is combination. Usually oiler on the forehead and chin and during the winter it tends to be drier.
On the bright side, I have noticed that my skin is a little more even-toned. I'm not amazed so I probably won't buy this product once I've finished this bottle. And the search for a good vitamin c continues.
