This product was just as fantastic as I thought it would be. I have been using the Calm + Restore face cleanser since it launched and love it. This body lotion is just as hydrating and nourishing. It's super lightweight and gives your skin a beautiful glow after application that lasts. I would definitely purchase it myself!! However, I'm removing 1 star because, unlike the Calm + Restore face wash, I don't love the smell of the body lotion. -
Purgrains Thai Garlic Chili Flavour
I really loved the fact that this was made with whole grains like quinoa and farro. It's also pretty natural in terms of being made without artificial colours and flavours, which is a huge plus for me. Personally, I'm not a huge fan of spices so the... +
I really loved the fact that this was made with whole grains like quinoa and farro. It's also pretty natural in terms of being made without artificial colours and flavours, which is a huge plus for me. Personally, I'm not a huge fan of spices so the Thai garlic chilli flavour was a little too overpowering for me and wouldn't have been my first choice. With that said, the price is really fair and the serving size is reasonable. I'd recommend if you don't mind a bit of a kick of spice! -

Upon first inspection, Kraft’s new Hazelnut spread looked very similar to traditional ones like Nutella. But, it’s taste had a very different profile. For me, it has an almost-synthetic taste that detracts from the Hazelnut flavour. I found myself experiencing an unpleasant aftertaste that I don’t usually get after eating hazelnut spreads. It also lacks a strong, nutty smell that I really value in these spreads. Overall, this product is good if you want a more inexpensive alternative to Nutella, but it’s flavour profile needs some work if it will compete with more recognized hazelnut spreads. -

This product has become my go-to body moisturizer. Not only is it fragrance-free, which is a huge plus for me, but it also doesn't leave the sticky feeling that most body creams do. It deeply hydrates, but sinks into skin quickly. When putting it on at night, my skin feels noticeably rejuvenated the next day. Will definitely purchase this after my sample is finished! -

I LOVED the packaging of this product. From the moment I bought it in-store, I felt like I was buying a luxury item from a high-end beverage manufacturer. A+ in the bottle design and the little "beer-style" caddy that it comes in. ChickAdvisor sent me a coupon to get one ginger-ale 4-pack free, but I also purchased the ginger-beer flavour so that my review could be more accurate through a comparison of the two.
As someone who loves ginger-ale, I thought the ginger-ale flavour was perfectly crafted. Not too sweet, and just the right amount of ginger. I also loved the level of carbonation, as it didn't seem to 'burn' my tongue like some soft drinks do. I would 10/10 recommend this drink to ginger-ale lovers and passive-drinkers alike, as it definitely isn't polarizing.
The ginger-beer flavour was also delicious, but had a much stronger ginger flavour. Although I enjoyed it, I wouldn't recommend it to someone who doesn't love the taste of ginger. It may be a tad too strong.
Although the product provides good value, I do think it is a little on the pricey side. I know that it is framing itself as a gourmet drink, but I purchased it at Metro where the price was $7.99 for 4 relatively small bottles. In my opinion, I'm not sure if I'd purchase this on a regular basis because of how expensive it is. Possibly only for special occasions/having company over.
Overall, I thoroughly loved the taste and packaging of this new venture by Canada Dry, and am excited for what's next!!

This deodorant has a wonderful smell and lasts all day! After applying it in the morning, I could still feel its deodorizing effects well through my workday. The only reason why I gave it 4 stars instead of 5 is because the formula is a tad chunky, and has small particles that can make application a little messy. For me, this wasn't too much of an issue as I just rubbed the product in a little bit with my fingers, but some might find this a hassle. Overall, I would purchase again! -

I received this product, as well as the Schmidt's Rose + Vanilla deodorant. In comparison, this one has come out as the winner. It's velvety texture glides perfectly onto underarms and makes application extremely easy. I also enjoy the somewhat herbal scent and find that it deodorizes all day, without making you smell too much like deodorant. -

From day to night, this mascara does it all. It is buildable; it can look natural with a few coats and glam with a few more. The price is perfect and is all you should really spend on mascara. It also lengthens lashes incredibly and is easy to wash off with makeup remover. -
