Right Guard Best Dressed Collection - Stunner Antiperspirant
Both me and my partner liked the smell of this, it’s warm and slightly spicy without being overpowering. As a deodorant, my boyfriend said it worked just as well as his usual brands, including dryness, smell, residue, etc.

Dial For Men Recharge 3-in-1 Revitalizing Body Wash
I didn’t love the smell of this out of the bottle, it’s very sharp and strong (almost alcohol-y and clinical), and it didn’t totally go away after he’d rinsed and dried off either, but was about the same strength as men’s deodorants... +
I didn’t love the smell of this out of the bottle, it’s very sharp and strong (almost alcohol-y and clinical), and it didn’t totally go away after he’d rinsed and dried off either, but was about the same strength as men’s deodorants, honestly.
As a body wash it was very good, cleaned off dirt and oil, but didn’t leave either of us feeling dry.
We’re both weirded out by 2-in-1/3-in-1s so we didn’t try is as a shampoo, so we can’t say anything about it’s performance in that respect.

Love Beauty & Planet Coconut Oil & Ylang Ylang Hope and Repair 3 in 1 Benefit Oil

First think I noticed was the simple but beautiful packaging, the bottles are unfussy, with lovely labels. I usually hate coconut as it tends to smell fake and strong; this was soft and realistic.
I can't say I think I've ever needed the benfits of a serum-type product, but I gave this a go a couple days, especially when I knew I'd be outside in the drier winter air and maybe would need the extra moisure. I didn't find this did anything for my hair other than add some shine, scent, and then heaviness as it just added to my hair's usual oil the next day.
If you have very *dry* damaged hair, then this maybe ideal for you, but didn't suit mine at all.

This is a lovely bright, summery body wash ideal for summer. It smells beachy and light. Even my boyfriend loved the smell of it! It doesn't linger too long, so good for people who want the smell while using it, but not to have it compete with their purfume during the day. Its also deep cleaning and gets out all the dirt from under my nails

I wasn't wowed with this conditioner, but I also wasn't able to use it for long enough to notice any 'repair' effects. I was surprised at how thin ('normal') the consistency was, as repairing products tend to be thick and heavy.

I liked the shampoo, and found it effective. I wasn't able to use it long enough to notice any 'repair' effects, but it does leave it very clean and gets out any residue.

Took a while to find, but my store finally stocked these! I had a hard time deciding between flavours (I'm not super into sweet flavours, and vanilla is usually my go-to) but figured I'd see how authentic and rich their chocolate was (as 'healthy' chocolate products tend to taste weak, oily or bland) -- we were impressed!
The flavour is 100% like a fudgsicle, and the texture was slightly less rich and creamy than usual ice cream but by no means watery. I know some people had issues with their cartons being melted/'half full' so I think the lighter texture contributes to its lighter volume and faster melting rate, but its so lovely to eat -- like a soft serve texture. It also wasn't extremely sweet, it was a real dark chocolate flavour with almost a bit of malt.
The price is quite steep; the carton is about 1/3 the size of a regular one but same price, but as a treat I'd definitely buy this again.
Because of the balanced sweetness, I'll definitely look at trying the vanilla and cookie flavours, though I'm sad the full range isn't offered in Canada (as usual :( )

Maybelline New York Total Temptation Mascara
I know, I know... the tube is millenial pink. Sold. I don't usually fall for trends, hate 'hyped' products, and despise all mascaras that claim to be 'VOLUMOUS! FLUFFY! ENDLESS LENGTH! NO CLUMPS! DEFINING!'. Lies, all lies. I've tried so many... +

I don't usually fall for trends, hate 'hyped' products, and despise all mascaras that claim to be 'VOLUMOUS! FLUFFY! ENDLESS LENGTH! NO CLUMPS! DEFINING!'. Lies, all lies.
I've tried so many trying to find the best one for me, and unsuccessfully trying to avoid all the ginormous tubes that all brands seem to favour now (why???? My shelf/makeup bag is full enough without excess packaging), but none fit the bill, so I've stuck with Great Lash forever....
This one is damn well close to perfect. It only clumps if I'm heavy-handed or don't wipe the wand on the tube, and its not super thick. The tube itself is clean, modern, and sleek -- nothing fancy, gaudy or clunky. Its supposedly coconut-scented -- I can't make it out, but its definitely not as chemical smelly as most, so the coconut at least softens the smell.

NYX Dark Circle Corrector
This concealer is fantastic, its a gel-cream type consistency, and has an extremely natural sheen ('dewey' without looking shiny). The coverage is excellent and lasts for hours. For days that I don't want to wear makeup, throwing this on completely... +
This concealer is fantastic, its a gel-cream type consistency, and has an extremely natural sheen ('dewey' without looking shiny). The coverage is excellent and lasts for hours.
For days that I don't want to wear makeup, throwing this on completely sells the 'no make up' look.
They didn't have testers out, and were out of the colour closest to my skin tone, so I just bought the Light thinking for the price I could try it and either chuck it or get away with it until it ran out: surprising the colour works quite well (in fact it brightens my eye area) and after several months of use I've barely made a dent in the (tiny!!) pot -- a little goes a long way with this stuff.
I'll buy this forever!

Had my boyfriend try this as he’s used several protein drinks before and can better rate its taste and effectiveness.
He perferred the chocolate flavour over this vanilla (usually it’s the other way around), finding the vanilla more watery tasting and compared it to diluted ice cream. He liked that it wasn’t super sweet like a lot of vanilla protein drinks/powers, but also didn’t find it very filling (perhaps somewhat due to the thin consistency) compared to higher-quality drinks.
He suggested he would buy this again, to use after a light workout, like an afternoon hiking or kayaking, but not to recover after a full workout or strenuous activity.
