The perfect go to lotion, Nivea Q10 Hand Cream!
I like the size, it will easily will fit in my purse and I can carry it on when flying. There is a little scent but it dissipates quickly, and it's not over powerful. It's thick but not sticky, and does absorb quickly.
I did find that if I used too much it got a little sticky, so don't go all crazy thinking you need a lot. Less than a dime will do both my hands. Even two hours later my hands feel moisturized and silky soft. I really like it, will definitely buy this lotion again.
I also love that this hand cream prevents signs of ageing!

Banana Boat Natural Reflect kids sunscreen
I do like that this sunscreen is thick, but I agree that it is a little aggressive. I would buy again though, simply because it is natural and I would expect it to be less synthetic. It has a subtle smell and I am able to rub it in, but if your kid... +
I do like that this sunscreen is thick, but I agree that it is a little aggressive. I would buy again though, simply because it is natural and I would expect it to be less synthetic.
It has a subtle smell and I am able to rub it in, but if your kid can't sit still long I can see how that would be a struggle. My daughter loves to get lotion-ed so that isn't a problem for us.

I wanted to try a highlighter but I was nervous to spend too much since I have no idea what I am doing. I watched a couple YouTube tutorials and settled on this one. I LOVE IT! I will buy it again. I can actually get the results that I saw online.
You cannot beat the price.
I think it would work best with a setting spray or something though, I do notice by the end of the day it needs to be reapplied.

I had been using a generic gift shop french press for a year or so and was finally just fed up with getting coffee grounds in my drink.
I bought to Bodum because it was reasonably priced and could make more than 1 cup. It actually makes enough for 3-4 servings, and NO GROUNDS. I love it. It's also 100% dishwasher safe and dismantles easily so it doesn't take up a lot of space.
I do find I do not need to use the 2 scoops of ground coffee that the instructions say to. I just use one and I still get a great robust flavour.

Essence Gel Nail Polishes

I bought the gel polish and top coat because they were on sale and I wanted to feel fancy. I'm not really big on bright colours on my nails so I went for the lightest pink #05 sweet as candy. And it was so cheap I couldn't not buy the top coat. I have never bought a top coat before and I am very happy with it! I don't usually wear nail polish day to day because I can't get through one sink of dishes without them needing to be redone.
That said this gel polish and top coat have survived their first sink of dishes. I'll probably start wearing it everyday! Pictured after dishes and keep in mind my skills still need some work. Also 2 coats of polish and 1 top coat.
Bought at Shoppers Drug Mart for $1.99!!!!!

We stumbled upon this protein at Costco and are very happy to switch. The price is amazing for an Isolate Whey Protein, this runs about $50 compared to similar tubs running $80 or more at a health foods store. Also there is so much protein in a single scoop that we don't use a full scoop, which means it lasts longer!
If you don't know Isolate Whey is easier for your body to absorb, and this one is also lower in lactose. I can't say if my body is absorbing it all but I feel full for a long time after it (compared to my last whey) and I can tell there is less lactose in it. My one complaint is that it is noticeably sweeter. I don't mind Stevia but a full scoop is definitely sweetened.
This is a new staple for us, we will keep buying it.

After my first child I had some serious acne, my hormones just made my skin go crazy. I tried several other product which worked for a while and then stopped. I finally gave in to the commercials and ordered myself the bundle of proactiv products. And like Julianne Hough says I wish I had tried it sooner.
This the final step of the 3 step proactiv process and it really works for me. This is the moisturizer that makes sure my skin doesn't dry out. It's gentle, has little scent is light but has enough moisture in it to keep my skin from ever feeling tight. I didn't use to really moisturize before this, I thought it would make my acne worse, but this moisturizer is actually perfect weight. Even after my acne is cleared up I will continue to use this moisturizer.

After my first child I had some serious acne, my hormones just made my skin go crazy. I tried several other product which worked for a while and then stopped. I finally gave in to the commercials and ordered myself the bundle of proactiv products. And like Julianne Hough says I wish I had tried it sooner.
This is step 2 of the 3 step proactiv process and it really works for me. This is the treatment that really kills the acne! It's gentle I can't really tell what it is doing, but it does work because if I go light in a certain area I'm more likely to get a fresh zit there. It works really well for me - will definitely keep using this line!

I finally gave in to the commercials and ordered myself the bundle of proactiv products. And like Julianne Hough says I wish I had tried it sooner. I really like this exfoliater its nice and light so my skin isn't red or irritated with everyday use. It is gentle enough but really gets me clean too! and in with the other products it really really works.
Will definitely keep using this line!

I am quite fair so a sunless tanner is pretty helpful when it comes to getting ready for summer. I have tried several store brands before but they just are not comparable to this Jergens one. The smell is AMAZING! I have the +Nourish Daily Moisture version and it really is very moisturizing and leaves my skin feeling soft. It absorbs well and does not streak! Its subtle but my husband asked me if I was tanning so it's definitely working! I am conscious of washing my hands after and have noticed no discolouration. I don't use it everyday, and a bottle will last me a whole spring/ summer. I'll definitely be buying this again (next year!). -
