I have only used clearly contacts.ca for buying contacts. I find that they have a great selection with an easy to navigate website. The ordering process is very easy and the order itself has always arrived quickly and with no issues. I placed my first order through this site in 2007! Since then, I have only bought contacts from clearlycontacts.ca. -

I have been using Colgate Optic White for 4 weeks now. I wanted to wait a month for my review because I wanted to be sure of whether or not I would see an improvement. Sadly, no improvement was seen. This is no different than any other whitening toothpaste; aside from the price point. The taste is great, the consistency is great (well it is toothpaste... I'm looking for positives here), and it has a nice foam. Some whitening toothpastes don't foam enough for my liking.
I do not smoke, but I regularly drink coffee and occasioanlly drink red wine, so there is some ongoing staining of my teeth. Perhaps, if I did not regularly use whitening toothpastes, or had not used professional, and whitening strips in the past I would have noticed an improvement. Chickies, save your money and go for a brand with baking soda, or spend a little extra and get whitening strips if you need a little more than a toothpaste is giving.

I love this product; when I can find it, it is my go-to cold defender. I have only used the lemon lime flavour. I am a huge citrus fan and love this. The flavour is really nice and mild, not overly tart or sweet when dissolved in water, and it dissolves really fast. Sometimes, I let it dissolve and fizz on my tongue and just drink water while it dissolves. I get a much stronger lime flavour that way.
Aside from the great taste and fun effervescence; it really does work. I have used it at the first signs of a cold about 4 times now and each time it has kept my cold at bay!
This was a great find. HIGHLY recommend.

I received this product as part of the Chick Advisor Review team. Whenever I see the car vent airfresheners I wonder if they'll be too strong, like the hanging pine trees. This is definitely not like the hanging trees that overwhelm you for the first week or two then totally die down. The amount of fragrance is adjustable, and it stayed constant for the 2 week trial period! I am a dog owner, and it did a great job of eliminating any trace of doggy odour, without being overpowering. Linen and sky is an easy to take fresh scent, not one of my passengers even mentioned it. The design is sleek, and understated so it's not obvious that you have an air freshener in the car at all.
I think this is a great product, and highly recommend.

I adore this mascara. It is a "tube" mascara; it creates tubes around your lashes rather than painting on mascara. The tubes allow you to build almost limitless length. However, one coat creates doll like lashes. This product also gives more volume than other tube mascaras I have used. The application lasts all day, through two workouts, and a shower (if you keep the warm water off your lashes) without flaking, smearing, or otherwise disappearing.
With one coat, Blinc Kiss Me creates nicely amplified, shiny lashes that are eye catching for day time. With multiple coats it created super glam eyes that are photo ready. This mascara helps hold curl, if you use an eye lash curler.
Removal is simple, when you wash your face be sure to saturate your lashes with warm water, then slide your fingers across, and the tube slide off your lashes. If you like a more natural look, this may not be the product for you. It, you want a mascara that draws attention to your eyes and isn't clumpy, thick, or heavy, this should be your new go to mascara.

I went to Boss Arts after receiving a very unflattering colour job from myl stylist of five years(which she was not able to fix). I was booked in with Robin after describing to the woman on the phone what had happened and what I hoped to receive. Upon arriving at Boss Arts I found the staff to be so professional, welcoming, and friendly. When I sat down with Robin I really felt like he listened to what I was saying and worked to create a look that was personalized. Throughout the appointment I found Robin to be extremely attentive and, precise with my hair. I could tell that he takes great pride in his work. He was so courteous to all staff and his clients. Even when I was finished the girl doing my blow dry confirmed the look that would best show the colour as well as what I wanted to look like when I left the salon.
I was so impressed with the service at Boss Arts, and my hair colour is amazing. The only downside to Boss Arts is that it is difficult to find parking nearby. Challenging parking aside, I sincerely look forward to the next time I need either a cut or to refresh my colour.
Years ago I had come to Boss Arts for waxing, and was equally satisfied then.
If you go to Boss Arts you will not be disappointed. It is a gem.

This sunscreen/ facial lotion is oil free and has moisturizing anti-oxidants. I have skin that is very sensitive to break outs, and this has not clogged my pores or caused any breakouts. It feels thick going on, but absorbs quickly and does not leave an oily sheen. It claims to reverse the signs of aging, well about that, I'm not so sure. My skin feels well moisturized, and since I haven't had a burn on my face I would say the spf 85 is working well. For the summer this has replaced my facial lotion.
The only thing I don't like about this product is I find the smell is slightly oily and unpleasant. Fortunately, it doesn't last long.
Overall, I really like it :)

I was so disappointed with both pairs of 7's. They aren't a true denim weave. Which means two things: they aren't durable and they don't hold their shape.
While wearing one pair I slipped while walking on a side walk and on falling actually tore the knee! As for my other pair, I have had for less than a year and they feel thinner, are showing some wear at the seams and have faded noticeably despite my laundry OCD.
Another reason I don't like these jeans is the fit. I find they are cut for supermodel twiggy legs. I am fairly athletic and have to go up one to two sizes for these jeans to fit my thighs ( that means I buy a 26-27) and have the waist taken in. After just a few hours of wear the bum starts drooping.
7's always seem to have the latest trendy washes and styles and the are a very popular brand right now. If you can afford to drop $200 a few times a year for the trendiest looking jeans go for it, if you want to get a few years out of your jeans, look elsewhere.

Ahhhh, Joe's Jeans. These jeans are phenomenal. They are true durable denim that last and last. My first pair is now 4 years old and have only some fading to tell their age. They have not lost their shape and still feel new. Unlike, other 'designer' jeans, Joe's do not lose their shape at the end of the day. No droopy bums, here! I'm fairly athletic and in some brands I have to buy the waist size up in order to fit my thighs, but not with Joe's. They are cut to fit a real woman not a supermodel. Although, they do tend to vanity size a little, I wear a 25 or 26 but my waist is not a 25/26. The styles and washes available are classics. Don't be worried that if you buy Joe's you'll look too last year or last season. -

I gave this product a fairly high quality rating because I know that it is a quality product, however it is not good for me, and I wouldn't recommend it.
This is a very light moisturizer. I have skin that gets a little tight feeling around my eyes and mouth but gets a little shiny by the end of the day. I break out easily so avoid products that aren't oil free. I found that it was so light that I needed to use quite a bit more product than I should have to cover my face. It felt ok on, and didn't have much, if any, smell. After a week of using it, I didn't see or feel any benefit.
The reason I wouldn't recommend it is because, it is so light it would probably be best for someone who doesn't need a nighttime moisturizer and could probably get the same placebo effect from a more reasonably priced drug store brand..
