I do not want to scare anyone, but if you do some research on Breyer's non-melting ice-cream controversy then you would know why I do not recommend this brand.
My family had been purchasing this specific brand for many years until I found out that there was an experiment on Youtube which recorded this brand does not melt even days after sitting on the table at room temperature. Which I find extremely disturbing and had since then told my family to never purchase this brand again no matter how good the deal seems.
From food safety and nutrition course, I learnt that ice-creams that have been melted are not recommended for consumption. Subconsciously I also think that is why people do not usually drink the "ice-cream soup" once it's melted. Yet if the ice-cream does not melt, then how would the consumers know if the product is actually safe for consumption or in reality had been sitting under hot sun for hours without ability to melt to indicate spoilage then placed in the freezer again to seem like in new conditions? To be fair, they taste like any cheap ice-cream would, but....I feel nauseous whenever recalling all the times I've had these plastic/chemical ice-creams. Ugh.

Bought it for model making purposes, especially when some delicate work needing some breeze to get rid of dust/dirt/crumbs. It's great for reaching hard to reach places, such as keyboards and window sill. Very handy product.
Personally have purchased at least 5 cans of these.

Although does have certain items identical to Dollarama, they do have other items which I find unique and very good quality for the price. The staffs are very helpful and makes sure each customer knows that concerns will be addressed. Even when I had a hard to deciding simple items, I never felt in any way that they were tired of my indecisiveness and even gathered around to help with comparing items. Genuine services and great attitudes, no matter which location I've been the staffs were very helpful and have a chill vibe to it.
Somewhat annoying and neat is that each location have different items by chance, for example I still cannot find that awesome L-shaped brow tweezer anywhere else other than the super far one near ikea. I shall review my recent haul very soon. I was pleasantly surprised with some of the food items that I got.

I used to only use the spf 50 liquid sunscreen from shisedo japan, because the existing affordable sunscreens in north america were too oily for my skin as well as unable to provide a comparable level of protection. Brands such as banana boat etc. They would clog pores and sit on the surface instead of getting absorbed by the skin, causing breakouts and unpleasant excess shine.
When I first saw Neutrogena introducing their dry-touch formula for sunscreen, it immediately found its place on my skincare list and the rest is history. Since then its been almost a decade later and I still buy this every single year despite the increase in price. I've tried different levels of spf levels with this product, and did not find any previous issues with the other branded sunscreens. Today there are other brands with similar products but I still consider the formula for this product best for me.
I usually get spf 45 and spf 60 depending on the activities of the day as well as seasonal factors. The higher spf does consist of a thicker texture but still very easy to spread over the entire face and neck, which is something I do appreciate for outdoor activities in the summer as well as dry cold climates during the wintertime. The product leaves a soft matte finish with a subtle lightened blur to the skin, making it perfect for days with little or no makeup. I just loved the silky smooth finish that does its job and does not give the craxy body builder glow. Its even better under makeup, because then I won't have to use any pore filling products and worry about pores clogging like I do with other branded products.
The fragrance is something I also really like about, which did not present as harsh artificial scented chemicals like many other brands do. I actually enjoy the smell of the formula for the product, which was not too floral or perfumed but just nicely balanced to give an extra touch to the experience when you let the product get absorbed.
(Yes, sunscreens need time to sink in for at least 10-15 mins before heading out for the best protection effects, so the after-application experience is also considered as part of this review)
I've recommended this product many times to my friends when I hear about their unwillingness to use sunscreens because of the oily feeling, and they have always been pleasantly surprised when I let them try mine. (I always carry one in my bag) Since they added the waterproof sunscreen for body to this line, that also became a must buy item for each summer.

There's really nothing more to be said. It is a great product and leaves your hair silky soft with a soothing fragrant. I do not usually put oil on my hair since I tend to get oily hair very easily upon contact with water or oil, but probably because I dye my hair nowadays so it felt more like dry-oil instead of the greasy feel that I had expected. I saw it on sale at Walmart and bought it only because it was the cheapest one, the quality exceeded its price.
Gonna buy this again if I run out, works wonderfully with frizzy static hair during the 9 months of winter in this city.

Let me do some intro for my hair conditions.
First of all. I'm Asian and Asians tend to have black hair. As for myself, not long I have very dark hair but also thick volume as well. I have never bleached my hair and do not like the idea of it, and most likely will never pay $200 to get the job done at a salon.
My first box dye was a brand called GOSH, and it actually did quite well despite giving a very subtle shade but did not have the extreme gasoline stinky chemical smell I had originally expected. Since then I've tried a number of different brands yet none of which ever came close to matching actual results with what was shown on the box cover.
A few weeks ago, I decided to give L'Oreal Feria a try since there was an Asian girl on the cover with the ash blonde brown color I wanted. I looked at it and found an interesting before-and-after contrast, where a similar outcome could be expected no matter how dark the original shade.
Hmm. Triple Highlight? HI-LIFT technology? Lifts up to 3 levels? Deep Conditioning? Extreme lightening for darker hair with no brass? Permanent Application? Shimmer Power? Cool tone? Nice... Interesting... Mhmm... Well. Everything does sound very ensuring, but did I have high hopes? Absolutely not!
But WOW for the actual results, my hair turned out EXACTLY the same color as shown! For the first time!
O_O Dang!!!!! So satisfied and happy, but most importantly my hair did not feel damaged and felt really soft although I had gone to bed while dying my hair. The scalp did get a little dry but was alright after the next few days, and looked quite healthy too. Needless to say, this product worked amazingly for me and definitely worth a second purchase. The price was indeed out of my usual price range, but I'll keep an eye for any promotions for this item for sure.
(yes, I do that or else the dye won't be absorbed. don't do it if you don't have strong think dark hair... my hair grows very fast too... I will not be responsible for your baldness upon following my method recklessly >.

Nip + Fab Glycolic Fix Serum
There's nothing more needed to be said. This product works in providing the radiance, firmness, spot lightening, and soft skin I wanted. Did not disappoint me, and was able to reach for remaining products in the container. Very nice product.

As a hair shampoo, the only expectations I have is to clean dirt and oil. That's really it, yet this product does not work!
It does not foam, nor does it clean properly. Maybe it only intended to be used by people with short thin oily hair? Cuz it absolutely did not do anything except for making my hair dry a little bit, and by that, I mean stripping oil from hair until they feel like a thick tangled wig.
It does not smell anything like carrots, results were horrible to the point any hand soap would probably do a better job as hair shampoo. I fully regret purchasing this product when I saw it on clearance, and now I know why.

If I had to describe the conditions of my face during the worst period of life, it would be the surface of the moon. I had struggled with acne for the longest time since having my menstrual and this was the first product which made me actually felt like my pores are breathing for the first time. Not just my face is clean but the feeling of unclogged was just wonderful and actually reduced my acne over time. I used three bottles of this combining with Rapid Clear Pads to keep teen acne in control. I no longer use this product as frequent as before, but I'd always keep this handy during each summer to make sure any leftover sunscreen is not clogging my pores.
Today most people compliment my skin which I never expected to hear back when I was walking around with many many tightly packed small pimples all over my face for almost ten years. This product isn't the best with foaming, but it really does literally deep clean your skin.

I have previously bought the non-waterproof regular liner and had a pleasant experience, so I decided to give it a try with the new waterproof version. I bought this waterproof liner a few months after I started using the regular liner, yet it dried out before the regular one did.
It most definitely did not formulate to out win the regular liner. I had caps on and made sure it was concealed when not in use, but within weeks its so dry I could barely get any product from this thing. I ended up having to dot-apply on my eyes then filling in with dark eyeshadows. Just horrible.
