I placed a grocery order with Voila by Sobeys just before the August Civic holiday. The website was easy to use, there were lots of sale items available for products that I use, the selection was great and the prices were comparable to shopping in person.
I placed my order then went back to edit it before the shopping window closed and it was very easy to do. I received an email confirming my order and delivery time...so far, so good.
Delivery day - I received a pleasant phone call from the delivery driver advising they were 10 minutes away. I told them I would meet them outside my condo building. They were right on time.
The driver and his assistant were very friendly. They gave me a little tour of their delivery truck (all while social distancing!) explaining the chiller, freezer, and regular grocery areas on the truck and that they check all refrigerated and frozen foods with a thermometer gauge to ensure everything is still good, before handing over to the customer. All my groceries were accounted for and in good condition.
I attempted to tip the delivery driver and they advised they do not accept tips but a positive review on the Voila website would be very welcome.
Overall, it was a great experience. I would definitely use this service again.

So I was looking for a new concealer and since I use Cover Girl Simply Ageless Wrinkle Defying Foundation, I decided to try Cover Girl Simply Ageless Instant Fix Concealer hoping the product would be as good as the foundation.
Well, first off, it's a terrible container. It's a twist-up tube that pushes the concealer up into a round sponge at the top that you use to apply the product. So I twisted, and twisted, and twisted...and twisted some more and nothing came up. So I twisted again, checked to see if any product was entering the sponge and nothing. Keep twisting...by this point the plunger in the tube is about 25% pushed up inside and still nothing coming out. How long is someone supposed to wait? So I kept twisting and FINALLY a small amount of concealer appeared to be entering the sponge. Eureka! I applied it and was super disappointed. The coverage didn't look any different than using the foundation.
Overall I would not recommend this product based on my experience trying it.

Ordinary High Spreadability Fluid Primer

Say it isn't so...but it is!! This primer is amazing!! I can't say enough good things about it. First the price - $7.90 CAD. You heard me correctly, totally affordable. Second, the name gives you a hint about how little product you actually need - 'high-spreadability'. A few drops - forehead, nose, cheeks, chin - rub it in and you are good to go. This primer makes my skin feel velvety soft and immediately makes my pores (even the ones on my nose!) just disappear. I am 54 years old and after using this product I look as though my skin is 30 years old. I often get compliments on the smoothness and evenness of my skintone. I highly recommend giving this product a try - you can't go wrong for the price. -

I started using this moisturizer in November 2018. During the winter months, I struggle with extremely dry, flakey, itchy skin. I was a bit skeptical that a product that only costs $7.00 would be able to do anything for this condition but boy was I wrong! The very first time I used this product my skin felt different. It didn't feel tight, it didn't feel dry, it wasn't greasy. It was simply amazing! There is little to no odor with this product and you only need a small amount to do your entire face. It absorbs quite quickly too. Overall, completely surprised and extremely satisfied. -

When I first tried Pop Shoppe Cream Soda I was pleasantly surprised that it tasted exactly - EXACTLY - like the cream soda from my childhood. There is no alcohol taste, no after-taste and goes down smoothly.
For me, the only issue I have with this beverage is that it gives me really bad heartburn. I wish it didn't because this would probably be my drink of choice for the summer months.
Other than that though, great taste, only takes a couple to get a bit of buzz and the price is comparable to other drinks with the same alcohol content.

As someone with very dry skin, I am hesitant to use cleansers on my skin as they always seem to dry my skin out even more.
I have been using the product for 10 days now and I have seen a noticeable improvement in my skin in terms of dryness and flakiness. Initially my skin showed a lot of redness after using the product but it has died down with continued use. It did leave a sort of film on my skin but it was hardly noticeable. There was no perceptible fragrance to the product which I really liked.
I also tried it as a makeup remover and it removed everything with little to no effort. I checked the price online and it is quite reasonable for a product of this quality. I will definitely continue to use La Roche-Posay Ultra Micellar Water for Dry/Reactive Skin.
Thanks Chick Advisor!!

Very easy product to use since you don't have to rinse it off. As with the make-up remover wipes there was absolutely no scent with this product. My skin felt refreshed and smooth after using the Cleansing Water. There was some redness immediately after but it went away after a few minutes and revealed a more even skin tone that before I used the product. Overall very convenient, easy to use and effective. Good quality for your money! -

At first glance this is a nice sized product for the price. When I squeezed some moisturizer onto my fingers and started massaging it onto my face I noticed a weird scent. I couldn't quite put my finger on what it smelled like and I wasn't sure if I liked it or not. Fortunately the scent did not linger very long once the moisturizer was absorbed. Initially I felt like my skin got drier after using this product and actually made my skin tingle a bit. After about 5 minutes the sensation went away and my skin actually felt pretty good. I will continue to use this product to see what the longer term effects will be in terms of skin texture, feel, etc. -

Upon first opening the package of Make-Up Remover Wipes I appreciated that the package had a really good seal on it to keep the moisture in so the wipes don't dry out. There was little to no scent noticed and the wipe was very effective in removing dirt and make-up. The clot was soft to the touch and had a bit of a cooling effect on my skin which felt nice. Overall very impressed. -

What doesn't a Mr. Clear Magic Eraser work on?? I have used this product on so many things I would be writing for days to list them all. Any type of smudge on a floor, door or wall vanishes using the Mr. Clean Magic Eraser. It's great for grout, bathtub and sink grime, and lots of other things. I appreciate that the Mr. Clean Magic Eraser can be rinsed and reused - this makes it a great value for the price. Highly recommend this product. -
