I do enjoy this lotion, as it delivers hydration to dry skin very fast. The Shea used is quite rich in texture. It has a very slight scent of Shea butter that is quite welcome. I find the consistency is decent but leans a bit runny. You don't need tobapply too much for it to spread evenly; I found half a pump great for my hands while 1 pump per leg was good. I find that after application the lotion feels like it just sits there before absorbing. It's also a tiny bit of a greasy feeling if you wash your hands within the first hour of application.

Generally, I love the fragrances from Clean Reserve as they have beautiful scent profiles and they have a decent longevegory/wear-time. However, I found this whipped cherry scent did not work for me. Upon initial application, the top notes smelled very strong and almost reminded me of cherry cough syrup for a sore throat. Once the fragrance dried down, I could barely smell it unless I held my wrist to my nose; only to be greeted with a sickly strong vanilla scent. Sadly, I did not enjoy this fragrance. Even the longevity was disappointing, as I could only smell it for about half an hour before it all disappeared. If you are someone who enjoys fruity fragrances with a vanilla-forward base, you might like this and find it works better for you.

L'Occitaine Intensive Hand Cream is the answer for dry and sensitive skin. The rich formula and texture make it the perfect option for soothing skin while protecting it from further damage caused by dry, cold weather. I love that it spreads easily and that a small amount is needed to apply. I like to use it on my hands as that's where I am prone to dry, flaking skin. This rich cream instantly revives the texture and appearance, and I can feel the difference within a few minutes after application. It's not greasy, and it has a very, very light yet pleasant scent. I would definitely recommend this!

I've started using this for a blemish on my cheekbone, and my initial thoughts are below:
- I like how easy it is to apply - they're virtually invisible! I used tweezers to ensure better application and was quite impressed
- the tab is a lifesaver - this addition really helps to peel the acne patch off the backing

I love how nourishing and lightweight this cream feels on my skin. I enjoy using it all over my body; especially on my ankles and my hands, as that's where my skin feels dry the most. This product has the benefits of being not just a body milk, but also a cream. It absorbs fast without leaving an oily feeling. I love the almond scent as you can tell it's naturally derived, and it's not overpowering. The jar is quite big, so I can see this lasting a decent amount of time.

This particular shade has very minimal pink colour and acts more like a transparent balm. I do find myself reaching for it a lot because it's more of a blank canvas that can be layered over top a lip tint. I would recommend it to friends and family, but I would encourage to wait for a sale or promotion as it is pricey. -

Salted Caramel - I can see why this is the best seller. There's almost this sensation of ribbons of velvety caramel and it's interjects with little bursts of sea salt throughout. The consistency and texture are also great as it's chewy but has a bit of a crumble. This flavour is an easy 10/10.
Churros - this is one of the new summer flavours, and it's so good. Honestly this was my underdog favourite. The dulce de lèche comes through and is distributed so well with each bite. The texture of also on point as it leans more towards a crumbly brownie but maintains iys form and still has an ooey gooey middle. The little bursts of cinnamon weave in and out of the dulce de lèche without overpowering it. I give this flavour 10/10 as well.
Espresso - this one was everything I dreamed it would be, and more! It's also a new summer lineup and I got the gluten friendly option to test. It's incredible - I honestly forgot it was the gluten friendly one until I checked the package again! The espresso is so well blended into each bite; almost like you get little bursts of actual espresso but with a texture closer to a chocolate covered espresso bean. I was so sad to finish this one. This flavour is a 12/10 for me.
If you're looking for a fun gift or a sweet treat to send to someone, Carolina's Brownies is one to consider. I'm also so ecstatic to read they give back a lot to the community by donating finances to help kids with disabilities - the teacher in me says this is definitely appreciated.

Let me just say how much I love when a cream lives up to all its claims. This is truly lightweight, non-greasy, absorbs deep, AND it's gentle on the face. I love to use this anywhere my body needs extra hydration; especially on my legs. On nights where I just want to go to sleep after double cleansing, this cream is great to use as I know my skin barrier is protected and I don't have to necessarily do all of my skincare steps and sacrifice sleep. -

I received shade 50.5 Rosy Peach and I am absolutely in LOVE with this colour! I lean towards peachy pinks and nudes, and this cheek tint is exactly the type of colour I reach for. A little goes a long way as it's pigmented. It builds and blends beautifully with a stippling brush made for liquid blush; I apply it to the back of my hand as opposed to straight onto the cheek and I love the results. -

I already love post-it notes, so getting these as a super sticky option and in the iconic colour story is awesome. They really are extra sticky and great to use for dayplanners or when writing notes to add onto student work (or even for quick activities where they need to stick an "exit pass" response on the wall or whiteboard).
