The pump on the container works wonderfully and the price for the amount you get is great. It has a creamy gel like texture and I originally pumped it onto a makeup remover swab thinking it was like my micellar water. One little pump of product went a really long way making this product an even more economical choice. I feel like my container will last a long time so I’d be getting my money’s worth. The scent of it is natural and pleasant. I didn’t mind the scent at all. It also felt really nice and hydrating on my skin. It didn’t dry out my skin and I didn’t feel the need to apply moisturizer after using it.
The reason I only gave 4 stars is it only removes light makeup. After I used it I still felt like I had makeup on so I used my usual Garnier Micellar water right after and it removed even more makeup that was still on my skin. So if your using strictly as a makeup remover this might not be the best product for you. However if your using as a cleanser only then it’s great.

Comes out like a jet stream, wouldn’t consider this a mist. I had to spray into my hands and then apply to my face. When I first opened it I tried spraying onto my face as I would normally do with a misting product and it was one solid stream in one spot and that’s not what I consider a mist. This also has the same odd smell as the other products in this line. Also just like the other products in this line I found that when I put it on my face it felt sticky and when it dried I found it didn’t sink into my skin. It felt like it was hardening on my face if this makes sense? Like my skin was tight. On a positive note for the price a little mist goes along way and it’s a line with 3 other products so one is bound to work for you. This facial mist contains hyaluronic acid and aloe vera, along with multi-fruit and cucumber extracts to instantly rehydrate and replenish your thirsty skin while diminishing the appearance of fine lines. So it could be a very helpful product if it had a better more gentle mist and better smell to it. -

I’d have to say that mascara is the one beauty item that I don’t leave the house without. As long as I have mascara on I feel confident. One thing I’ve noticed as I’ve aged is that my lashes aren’t as long and thick as they used to be. I’ve been using Covergirls Simply Ageless Lash Plumping 3in1 for about a week now and I hope by the 4 week mark I start to see a difference in my lashes. Hopefully I’ll have the thicker stronger and plumper lashes that this mascara promises. In the mean time let’s review the actual mascara. The brush is soft and curved and I love how the shape of the brush helps to coat every single lash which helps build volume. Although I will note that with only one coat all this mascara did was give me volume. It wasn’t until the second and third coats that it began to lengthen. So you will need to use a few coats for length and volume so one tube might not last that long. I should also mention that it’s a very light mascara and even with 3 coats it didn’t feel heavy or make me feel like washing it off. My lashes still felt very natural. I liked that it didn’t clump and it didn’t flake under my eyes after a long day of wear. I like how it’s a 3in1 formula, meaning it’s a primer, serum and mascara all in one so with one product your getting 3 benefits and it cuts down on the beauty products you need. I also noticed that I didn’t loose any lashes when washing it off. It’s fairly easy to wash off although when you have multiple coats on it does get a little messy when you wash it off. -

First off we absolutely love the very easy to use dropper. It makes it so simple to get the dose you want and administer it. The only issue we did have with the dropper version is that the top of the bottle is open so it’s easy to spill, especially if the kiddos get a hold of it. Our bottle came with the cutest little booklet explaining how the vitamin D3 works and why it’s useful. I always knew Vitamin D3 is instrumental in helping us build strong bones and healthy teeth but I never knew that getting D3 through foods is tough and that Vitamin D3 deficiency in children 6-12 is common. Thank you cute little booklet for this info. Getting my 6 yr old to take his vitamins is usually a battle but thanks to the hint of orange flavour and easy to use dropper he enjoys taking this one. And on the days when he’s not cooperating we just put a drop in his water. It doesn’t change the flavour drastically so he doesn’t even notice. My 17 month old loves it too and happily takes it every day. The dropper makes it super easy to give to her. With our daughter in daycare she picks up quite a few yucky colds and hopefully this D3 vitamin will help strengthen her immune system. I have very bad allergies myself and I heard this vitamin can help lower the risk of allergies and asthma in children. The beauty of this vitamin is that it’s great for infants up to teens and every age in between. I also like knowing it contains pure and safe ingredients that I can trust. And I’ll admit that I tried it to, I had to see what it tasted like before giving to my son and it actually has a pleasant taste and no aftertaste. My 6 yr old confirmed he didn’t have an aftertaste either. We will be purchasing again and adding this to our daily vitamin routine. -

This is not your ordinary boring vanilla ice-cream! The creamery style is simply delicious! You can make it into a yummy sundae or put it in a cup with some sod’s and make a delicious float! Plus it’s great just on its own as well. It’s the perfect all year round treat! Cool off with this in the summer on a nice patio while enjoying the Sunshine and even enjoy it during the holidays on a nice warm piece of pumpkin pie! This is the perfect treat. I also like that it’s made with 100% Canadian Milk and milk ingredients and it’s Crafted in a Canadian Cremery. I would definitely recommend this premium ice-cream for any occasion. -

Sugar Pie is absolutely delicious! This just might be my all time favourite ice-cream. The ice-cream itself melts in your mouth and the maple crunch pieces are mouth watering. I found myself searching through the ice-cream to find more of the maple crunch. It also contains some maple swirls throughout and these are also delicious. It’s a little sweet, just the way I love it. Our whole family enjoyed this delicious treat and we totally recommend you give it a try. It’s the perfect treat for a hot summer day. You can even throw some syrup and sprinkles on top and make it into a delicious sundae. This is definitely a premium ice-cream -

Once again this is a product my whole family enjoyed. I’ve used this product in my bath and my husband and son and myself have all used it to soak our feet. My husband and son both have rough skin on their feet and soaking their feet in water with these salts is really helping their feet and exfoliating the skin on their feet. The price for Dr Teal's Epsom Salt Soaking Solution is pretty competitive. The only thing I’d say is the package isn’t as large as other Epsom salts out there, however the benefits of this product outweighs the package size. Just like the foaming bath this is a great self care item that will make you feel relaxed and your skin feeling soft and nourished. Since trying these we have purchased again. -

I must say this product has been a hit with my whole family! We’ve even been using this is my son and daughters bubble baths. The bottle is huge and you really don’t need to use that much to create bubbles. It’s a good idea to start with a little bit of liquid and then add as much as you wish to get the foam and bubbles desired. Dr Teals claims to relax the body, soothe sore muscles and feet, and reduces stress while nourishing skin and this is completely true. My skin felt so soft and I felt truly relaxed after using this product. It doesn’t dry your skin out like some other products on the market, it really nourishes it and soothes sore muscles! It’s the perfect item to use to give yourself a little self care! -

When I first received this deodorant to try I was a little sceptical. For years I’ve been using my husband’s deodorant because none of the deodorants I’ve tried in the past have worked for me. It’s not that I’m an overly sweaty person but I’ve found that past deodorants feel wet after a few hours of wearing, or leave marks on my clothing, or the scent changes on me after a couple hours. This isn’t the case with Degree Advanced Protection 72 hours. I am so impressed with this deodorant and will absolutely purchase it again. No more using my husband’s deodorant. This product lasts and you don’t need to reapply. With other deodorants I’d reapply a few times a day because they just didn’t feel like they were cutting it. This one works magic! It doesn’t turn your t-shirts yellow in the armpit area and it doesn’t leave any marks on your clothing. The scent is very nice and subtle. Even after a workout you still feel protected! Plus I love that this deodorant doesn’t have that wet feeling after a few hours. Your armpits always feel dry! Give this deodorant a shot you will not be disappointed!! -

My son was thrilled when we pulled the Monster Jam Justice League vs The Joker trucks from the box. His squeals of joy warmed my heart! This set includes 5 vehicles, four are the superheroes and then of course you have the joker. These cars are extremely well made, durable and fun! They also go very fast and far when you push them. Both my husband and I enjoyed playing with these with our son. My daughter even tried to claim the Wonder Women car, to which my son said I’ll share it but it’s mine. So these are definitely fun for the whole family. Usually a toy doesn’t hold my son’s attention for long, however these cars kept him busy for at least an hour and he’s played with them multiple times since. He even said he can’t wait for school to go back so he can bring them to school and play with his friends. He made up multiple plot lines, showing his creativity and at the same time enjoyed the rough and tumble play that toy trucks normally bring. We played some rough games with these trucks and they held up wonderfully. For reference my son is 6 and I can see him playing with these trucks for years to come. Overall we’re very impressed with these cars. -
