Well, not even sure that it will continue to be available. I bought "Snappy - Our version of Clinique's Happy" because that name made me laugh. It doesn't quite smell like Happy, but perhaps there is a vague resemblance. I really do like Happy ... but Snappy is kind of handy to have around. I can spritz it liberally, because it's so inexpensive ... even just to refresh a room or a scarf. The scent doesn't last very long or very strong ... but better than some other inexpensive perfumes I've tried (and I've tried a lot.) For the real deal, of course I'll stick with my Happy ... but in a snap, I'd snap up more Snappy. At 3 bucks for a giant bottle at Dollarama, it's kind of fun just to have around and spritz when I'm snappy happy. -
Soap Works Soap Bars
These are great bars ... well priced and very reliable. I especially love the pumice one ... it's light blue and finely scrubby. The soft scent is nice, too! I've tried quite a few of them ... pine tar, tree tree are other examples, I believe. I... +
These are great bars ... well priced and very reliable. I especially love the pumice one ... it's light blue and finely scrubby. The soft scent is nice, too! I've tried quite a few of them ... pine tar, tree tree are other examples, I believe. I should branch out and try them all ... I might be missing a favourite. I like how they are displayed in stores, too .., on those wood racks. Very simple and elegant. I almost always pick one up, just to admire and smell, when I'm at a health food store or Bulk Barn. At under 2 bucks a bar, I might make it a project to try them all this year! -
Clinique Moisture Surge Extended Thirst Relief Facial Treatment
I say great price because I got the small tube as part of a gift with purchase. Not sure how much the full size product is. I love it for traveling, not only for the size, but it's very soothing and refreshing for a travel-weary complexion. The... +
I say great price because I got the small tube as part of a gift with purchase. Not sure how much the full size product is. I love it for traveling, not only for the size, but it's very soothing and refreshing for a travel-weary complexion. The instructions "Use whenever, wherever" make me want to bust out in that catchy Shakira song. Definitely recommend this product, especially for those who prefer gel-like hydration to a greasy/ oily feel. -
Waterpik® Water Flosser
Don't bother. Sure, it might blast a poppy seed out from between your teeth, but really, it's not that impressive. It doesn't hold a charge and it's an awkward size. It doesn't fit in the sink to fill up the chamber ... I have to fill a glass then... +
Don't bother. Sure, it might blast a poppy seed out from between your teeth, but really, it's not that impressive. It doesn't hold a charge and it's an awkward size. It doesn't fit in the sink to fill up the chamber ... I have to fill a glass then pour the water into the chamber. There is no control over the jet strength, and there is lots of water left in the compartment even after it stops blasting. I always have to turn it upside down to empty it into the sink so the water doesn't stay in there and grow animals. I've taken to storing it upside down in my robe pocket to avoid the standing water. Really, kind of gross contraption now that I think of it. Can't get it really clean. I've used way better oral water jets before. Time to get a better one. -
Clinique Long Last Glosswear
The shade is Woo Me ... and it did. Looks bubble gum pink and far too young for me in the tube ... but it's actually subtle and sheer when applied. Most of my glosses are highly scented, so this is a nice fragrance-free change. Sticky, as to be... +
The shade is Woo Me ... and it did. Looks bubble gum pink and far too young for me in the tube ... but it's actually subtle and sheer when applied. Most of my glosses are highly scented, so this is a nice fragrance-free change. Sticky, as to be expected for a gloss ... but not annoyingly so. Still, I have a knack for wearing gloss and walking through a gust of wind, resulting in that annoying strands-of-hair-stuck-on-lips thing. At 19 bucks, it's rather pricey but not a surprise for this brand. I always coincide my expensive cosmetic purchases with as many bonus and gift-with-purchase extras as I can ... to make it worth it. Plus, it gives me the opportunity to try a bunch of new things. Overall, not unhappy with this product. Sure, I'd recommend it ... if you want to fork out the dough. -
