I love cookies and cream ice cream so this pie is a natural favourite of mine as well. It has a chocolate cookie crumb base, cookies and cream ice cream like filling and whipped topping. This combination goes so well together and will satisfy any chocolate lover!
I recommend taking this pie out of the freezer about 20 minutes before serving to let it thaw and soften. Overall, a winner in my house and there are never any leftovers!

This is a great tasting frozen pie. I love anything coconut so really enjoyed this coconut cream pie. The flavour isn't overpowering but it isn't weak either. You will know it is coconut flavoured. The combination of the graham crumb, coconut filling and whipped topping go so well together.
I would say this is pricey for a frozen dessert pie but on sale, it is worth the splurge. I do recommend taking the pie out of the freezer about 20 minutes before eating to let it warm up. It will be easier to cut that way too.
Overall, a great dessert pie for special occasions or just to top off a regular dinner.

I have tried Arm & Hammer toothpastes in the past and have found some of them to be pasty and chalky probably due to the addition of baking soda. This toothpaste however was nothing like that. This toothpaste is smooth and very minty. Compared to my usual toothpaste this product is mintier and left my mouth feeling fresh longer.
This toothpaste claims to reveal a radiant smile in just 5 days. I didn't think it did this for me but after just one use my sister commented on how white my teeth looked so perhaps this toothpaste really made my teeth shiny and sparkly after all!
The paste comes out the tube easily but I would have preferred a flip cap instead of a screw off top. I just find flip caps much easier to use and they don't roll away.
I love the deep cleaning sensation this toothpaste gave me and how fresh it made my breath. I really felt that my teeth were clean and my breath stayed fresh much longer than with my usual toothpaste. It was so powerful in fact that it left my lips feeling tingly!
Overall, this is a toothpaste I would continue to use, would purchase in the future and would recommend 100% to others.

I have tried dry shampoo in the past but not the Dove brand. I like to flat iron my hair and not wash my hair for a few days so I can keep my flat ironed style. On the days I don't wash my hair, I use a dry shampoo to prevent my hair from looking oily and greasy.
This dry shampoo sprays easily from the can and is quite powerful. I did find that if I sprayed too close to my hair that I end up with a white residue ( I have dark blonde hair). I guess that happened to me as my sister told me parts of my hair looked white! So spraying a distance from the hair will prevent the white residue.
The dry shampoo kept my hair feeling fresh and clean and helped to prevent any greasy look. I did find that where I sprayed the dry shampoo that my hair felt a little dry and “crunchy” and it was not soft and smooth like the rest of my hair. Despite this fact I would still recommend this dry shampoo for in between washes. I would also purchase it in the future as Dove is an affordable brand and even more so when it comes on sale.

I use hairspray on a daily basis on my bangs to keep them plumped up and out of my eyes. I first noticed how powerful the trigger on this hairspray is. Just one little touch sprayed out a powerful fine mist. Some hairsprays take a lot of pressure on the trigger to get anything to come out. I was pleasantly surprised at how little effort it took to release the product.
This hairspray gives a firm hold. It held my style perfectly in place without having to touch up during the day. My hair didn't feel sticky or tacky using this hairspray. This is definitely a product I will continue to use and wouldn't hesitate to purchase it in the future.

I used this product on my freshly washed hair that was still damp. When I squirted the dry oil out onto my hands it felt really greasy and I wondered what it would do to my hair. The dry oil has a pleasant smell that I would describe as a spicy scent.
After applying the dry oil to my hair, I noticed my hair brush just glided through my hair and the product seemed to act like a detangler. As my hair air dried it was not heavy or weighed down. My hair felt silky to the touch and was soft. I also noticed my hair looked a little shinier than usual. My hair did not feel greasy or oily like I anticipated it feeling. The greasy feel of the product on my hands did absorb and left my hands feeling so soft and hydrated. I may be tempted to use this dry oil as a heavy duty moisturizer for my hands!
This is a product I would continue to use and would recommend it to others to try.

This conditioner has a great scent. It is a fresh, clean scent that when used with the corresponding shampoo, leaves the hair smelling great all day long.
The conditioner applied easily to my wet hair and my hair felt soft while the conditioner was in my hair. The conditioner is the right consistency to stick to the hair. It rinses easily and completely from the hair.
After towel drying my hair, I noticed that my hair wasn't quite as tangly as it usually is. It made combing my hair much easier. When used with the Dove shampoo, my hair was left feeling soft and airy. It was not weighed down at all. I have frizzy hair and found that my hair was manageable and not crazy frizzy.
Overall, I would recommend this product to others and would reuse in the future.

I really enjoyed using this shampoo. It has a nice fresh scent that lingers in your hair even after it has dried. The shampoo is the perfect consistency. Not too runny or too thick. It lathers well making me feel that I am getting my hair really clean.
The shampoo rinses easily from the hair leaving no residue. After washing my hair and using the corresponding conditioner, my hair felt soft, smooth and manageable. My hair also felt light and not weighed down like some products leave your hair feeling.
I would definitely recommended this shampoo to others and would purchase it in the future.

I have never tried a micellar water so I didn't really know what to expect from this product. As the label suggests, it removes make up, cleanses and refreshes the skin. I used this water on a cotton pad to remove my make up and it did a really good job. It took about 3 pads to get most of the foundation off my face and about one pad to remove my mascara.
This micellar water did not leave a sticky residue like sometimes happens when I use a pre-moistened cleansing cloth. However, I have a skin care regimen in the evening after removing my make up that involves exfoliating my skin and then cleansing with a foam cleanser. I felt like I needed to continue this routine to get my skin completely clean. I do have very acne prone skin and just felt like the micellar water, even though it claims to cleanse as well, was not enough for my skin.
I could see skipping my additional cleansing routine if I had a late night and only wanted to remove my make up. This would be the perfect product for that purpose. I do like using this in the morning after I wake up as I have no make up to remove. It serves as the perfect cleanser and toner for me.
Overall, I do see value in the product and like that it comes in a large 400ml format which will last a long time. I would recommend this product to others and would consider purchasing it in the future at a sale price.

I use moisturizer on a daily basis so have used many brands over the years. I must say this Garnier moisturizer is one of my favourites thus far! I like that this product has a pump as it makes application easy. The consistency of the moisturizer is perfect. It is a lotion but it's not too runny. It absorbs quickly and easily into the skin and is non-greasy. It is nicely fragranced with what I would call a green tea scent.
Within a few uses of this moisturizer I noticed how soft and smooth my skin was becoming. It made for an excellent base on which to put my foundation. I have noticed just a slight increase in the radiance and brightness in my skin. Hopefully with continued use I will see more of this benefit.
I do have oily and very acne prone skin and this moisturizer did not make my skin any oilier than usual nor did it cause any increase in breakouts. This is a moisturizer I would happily switch to and recommend to others. I do find the price high for a drug store moisturizer and thus would only purchase it if it were on sale.
