I received this product for review. I found that it easily applied and blended into skin. The formula was a bit watery/runny than I would have preferred. I noted a subtle "sunscreen" smell but wasn't bothered by it (might have been however if using it on my face). I seemed to perform well when I was out in and out of the sun with general errands but as I am not a beach goer I am unable to comment on its longevity when used in large amounts of direct sunlight. -

I received this product for review. I found it applied very smoothly and as advertised it didn't irritate my sensitive skin. I did however wonder how much product was actually being applied to my skin as it was very clear and slight weight. At first I didn't think any transferred from the stick onto my skin but further inspection proved it had as it was a bit greasy to the touch. I enjoyed however the stick format as it made reapplying sunscreen quick and easy and far less messy that traditional creams. The stick was also small enough to slip into any one of my handbags but still big enough (surface area at the end of the stick) to make application less time consuming (though seemingly not as targeted as a smaller stick might be able to manage). -

I decided to give this primer a try mainly due to how inexpensive it was. I should have learned by now that you get what you pay for. In this case not much. I found it applied easily, had a shimmery tone, a creamy consistency, and dried fairly quickly. However it also seemed to make my foundation flake off or collect up any dry skin I had or something as it would start flaking all over the front of my clothing as I blended out my foundation on top (no issue with the same foundation w/ other primers).It may have smoothed my skin somewhat but it didn't do anything to balance out my skin tone or make my foundation and other makeup last any longer than without it. I do not foresee repurchasing this product (so the primer search continues). -

I found this beer to be rich and robust in flavour but yet still lighter which was appreciated. It had what I would call a standard beer flavour. Not overly hoppy or wheaty, or any other grain but enough to balance out the flavour. I might repurchase it if I was buying beer for a party where people aren't looking for flavoured beers (my favourite) but for myself alone it is possible I would pass on it next time. -
Double Trouble Hops & Robbers
I'm not sure what to make of this beer. It is labeled as a Strong Beer but also an Extra Delicious IPA. As the name also suggests it has a strong Hops flavour which isn't unpleasant but does have a bitter aftertaste which I could do without. I just... +
I'm not sure what to make of this beer. It is labeled as a Strong Beer but also an Extra Delicious IPA. As the name also suggests it has a strong Hops flavour which isn't unpleasant but does have a bitter aftertaste which I could do without. I just don't fine that the flavour is anything special as if it is just stronger to say its stronger not because there is any underlying benefit from the beer being stronger. I also find the robber on the side of the can to be be immensely creepy (likely due to the solid black body and face with no other features but two slitty eyes). The price for the 473mL can was on par with other similar Canadian products but I doubt I would repurchase this beer. I find on my palate it is missing the "fruity aromas of lemon with hints of pineapple" that the can advertises but maybe those flavours are there, just masked by the hops. -
Tempt 9 Cider Strawberry & Lime

I was hopeful when I picked up this Strawberry and Lime cider. Initially I was disappointed that it only came in a small can (with a price similar to that of cans twice its size). However after trying it, I'm almost glad it wasn't a larger can as I had a hard time finishing it. I found the strawberry had a very artificial flavour to it and I found it difficult to taste much lime at all (maybe a tiny bit in the aftertaste). I also found it far too sweet for my liking beyond the first couple sips. I also quickly got a headache from drinking this product which I don't normally experience from other ciders. -
Moose light Raspberry Radler

I found this radler to be very refreshing and a new go to for hot summer nights (or days). The raspberry flavour is present but not overpowering which I appreciated. I didn't however care for the fact I could only buy it in a case of 6 (at least). When I am trying new flavours I prefer to buy single cans/bottles in case I don't care for the product. Here I was forced to get a full case. Luckily I did enjoy this product so have 6 bottles wasn't a problem. Being a semi-local brand helped me make the decision to give it a try. The low alcohol level (only 4%) was also appealing to me as I am generally not interested in drinking for the purpose of getting drunk. -
The Ordinary High-Adherance Silicone Primer

Might be worth every penny but it also doesn't cost many pennies. I was hopeful that I would like the primer especially because of the low price tag, but I guess you get what you pay for. I didn't find this product did anything for me any more than adding an extra layer of moisturizer below my foundation. Which for me was redundant. The product having a very similar consistency as moisturizer applied smoothly but wasn't what I was expecting from a silicone primer. I didn't notice any blurring as it advertises and possible just minimal surface smoothing. It didn't however make my foundation last any longer than if I wasn't wearing it, which made me question why bother using this product at all. Therefore I doubt I will repurchase this product and I guess I'll have to suck it up and pay more to get an effective primer. -

Just as advertised this beer is strong in beer flavour (hops, etc.) as well as still well flavoured with citrus, pineapple, mango, etc. The fruit flavour isn't overbearing or artificial in taste. A but stronger than I would drink on a regular basis (not that my alchohol intake is that regular) as I tend to go for lighter flavours specially during the summer. I did find however that it was fairly bubbly and possibly due to that I had to sneeze after every sip or two at first. Which was odd. Then the more I drank the more stuffed up I felt so something about it didn't agree with me. So for me I would probably pass on purchasing it again though again I appreciate being able to support a local brewery and would look into purchasing some of their other products. -

I found this cider to be tart but not too sour. I can taste the standard apple cider first and foremost but the blueberry adds a nice finish. It was light and refreshing, perfect for summer. The price was cheaper than most canned ciders I generally purchase (approx $2.99 compared to around $3.99) though may be less in the bottle than in those cans. I like that it's produced by a company that is fairly local to where I live as I enjoy supporting local businesses (if they have a good product). I would consider repurchasing. -
