I was given a free product in exchange for your honest and unbiased review.
Cream was a little thicker than I was expecting and has an orange tint to it. On my brown skin, it didn't rub in very well and left a chalky white film behind. I currently use La Roche Posey which is very liquidy and blends right in without leaving a chalky residue which allows me to layer makeup on top of it. If you like using Aveeno creams which are a bit thicker and feel like they create a barrier against the elements on your skin, then this would be great for you. I prefer creams that melt into my skin and I don't feel them anymore.

I got a sample product for free from a friend and tried it out since I have tried many other drug store brands and was never happy with them. This mascara is great! I have long lashes but they are stick straight and most mascaras are too thick and end up making my lashes all stick together. This one goes on without clumping and holds my curl (I also use a lash curler before application) and if I want a more bold eye, I wait a couple of minutes and add a second coat. The brush isn't really a brush, it's made out of a rubber like material and has little spikes on it. I was super skeptical but this is now my go-to mascara. Can't get it at the drug store so I go to Sephora to buy it. -

I have been using this product for about a year now. Regular antiperspirants wear off before my workday is done (I have a9-5 office job) but this one will last into the evening. On those hot and humid days, I top it up with a dry spray of I am going out in the evenings but in the cooler months I find this extra step isn't necessary.
Regular antiperspirants leave that gross white film in the armpit area of my tops which eventually ruin them (using the pre-wash spray and laundering them as usual will thin out the material which causes the colour to change so it almost looks like you're sweating all the time.) But this clincial stuff doesn't cause any of those issues. I put it on at night before bed and it works like a charm. Some have said it stings if you use it immediately after shaving but I haven't found that to be an issue.
The scent is mild, you can only smell it for a bit right after you put it on but it's gone by the morning.
Overall, I recommend this to anyone who finds the regular sticks useless. Just wish the price wasn't so high compared to the solid stick but I'm willing to pay for it given it actually saves my clothes.

I got a free sample of this toothpaste from my dentist and I absolutely love it! I'm obsessed with my teeth and have used a variety of products to keep them white, feeling clean and aiding with sensitivity. At one point, I was using a mouthwash and two different toothpastes (one in the morning and one at night) just to get the desired results. Not anymore!
This toothpaste is a bit pricier than the rest but it's totally worth it. It helps keep your teeth white, tastes great, deals with sensitive teeth and does help protect the enamel on your teeth. I've been using this product for about a year now and even my dentist has noticed a significant difference. I drink a lot of coffee and was concerned that my teeth were starting to stain and have recently noticed that my teeth have become quite a bit more sensitive than before. This toothpaste has dealt with both of these issues and doesn't taste horrible (I've tried a few that almost made me want to gag).
All in all, a great product that I would recommend. You can't put a price on an amazing smile ;)

I use a very gentle cleanser and have noticed that when I wear eyeliner (regardless of what colour), I have a hard time getting it off. From a recommendation from the associate at Shoppers Drug Mart I purchased the Marcelle Eye Makeup Remover.
The first time I used it, I soaked a cotton ball with the product and rubbed it across my eyes in one motion and to my surprise, not a single bit of eyeliner was left on my eyes. I did notice, however that when I opened my eyes immediately after using the product, I felt a little bit of irriation, almost a burning sensation. Since then, I use one cotton ball for both eyes and then wash my face as usual with my daily cleanser (without opening my eyes between using the product and washing my face).
I convinced my sister to use it (mainly because she was leaving thick black eyeliner on my face towels everytime she stayed over) and to my surprise, it worked just as well on her. I'm actually qutie amazed at how much comes off with just one swipe. It's a bit pricey but worth it even if it means I can save a few of my towels.

I bought this cream after I noticed a small wrinkle under each of my eyes and was hoping to find a product that would firm/hydrate the skin and lighten it a bit as the skin below my eyes is about 2 shades darker than my cheeks. I wouldn't say that I have dark circles because I don't think it's that bad (at least not yet).
I have used this cream for about 2 weeks now and the hydration is fantastic. It is a rich cream with no fragrance (I have sensitive skin) and this really adds moisture to the area around the eyes. It also holds the moisture in all day even with makeup applied on top of it.
Are the 2 wrinkles under my eyes gone? No. Have I noticed the skin brightening up a little? No. The hydration is amazing with this cream but it hasn't lived up to its cost just yet. I'll wait another 2 weeks and will re-post if I notice a change to the two conditions I was hoping to deal with.
