I've been using micellar water for years and was excited to receive this for review, however, I found it lackluster compared to the brand I use normally. The first day I used it I was wearing a long wearing mascara and instead of removing anything, it just spread the mascara and rest of my makeup over my face. I had to use a makeup remover to get rid of all the product. I don't have this issue with my regular micellar water and this particular mascara, fyi. The second day I wore a lighter mascara and while it didn't spread it over my face, it also didn't remove it completely. This time I just used my regular micellar water to remove everything. On the third day I wore very light/natural makeup and while it worked fine on removing my foundation and concealer, I still had issues with it removing anything with black pigment (eyeliner and mascara).
There are a number of things I like from La Roche-Posay and will continue to buy and use, however, this micellar water will probably not be one of those products. It didn't feel as if it made much of a difference to my skin overall, and while it works well if you wear light foundation, you may need a better quality micellar water for wearing anything heavier. This might work well for anyone who doesn't really wear makeup or for days where you're going makeup free.

I don't use a lot of hair spray. In general I don't use a lot of hair styling products because they tend to weigh my hair down. That being said, I always love finding hair spray that lets my hair feel like there is no styling product in it. The Dove Flex Hold was a god-send in the middle of seasonal storms that kept my hair from looking like a rat''s nest after getting stuck in the wind. It brushed out and still left my hair light and with movement even while holding whatever style I was wearing it in. Love it! This product was sent to me for review. -
Dove Refresh + Care Invigorating Dry Shampoo
I don't use a lot of dry shampoo in general, but I made an effort to make sure to use this one in between shampoos and it was really nice. The scent was pleasant but not over powering and it's colourless, which is a blessing for my dark hair.

Out of everything, I loved this product the most. The oil is light and didn't weigh my hair down in the least. On days I wore my hair naturally (curly) the curls stayed curly all day (as opposed to falling into loose waves the moment the wind hit it, or just loosing their will to live throughout the day) and even into the next day, which never happens. There is a scent, but it's so light that I barely noticed it, which is my preference for hair products. Also, a little goes a long way, so I don't think I'll be buying another bottle for a while; it's going to last me ages, but I 100% intend to buy it once it is finished. Bonus, the packaging for this is gorgeous. The glass bottle has such a nice weight to it that it feels sort of like a luxury product I bought as Sephora rather than one I can get at the drugstore. -
Dove Nutritive Solutions Daily Moisture Conditioner
I really liked this conditioner. It didn't weigh my hair down, but made my normally dry hair nice and soft and kept my curls soft and bouncy. The smell was nice and light and not overpowering.

My hair is normally dry, and the Dove Nutritive has really brought it back to looking much healthier and less dry, with much more body and life. This doesn't weigh my hair down either and allows the natural curls to remain bouncy whereas similar shampoos often will start to weigh the curls down with buildup. The smell is light and very lovely and not over powering. I would definitely buy this again. -

In the running for surpassing the blueberry acai as my favourite. This bar is rich and bold and the slight tart-sweetness from the cherry and pomegranate balances the richness and slight bitterness that comes with dark chocolate. This would be lovely paired with a hot black tea, a long book, and a rainy day. -

Does this make up for not being able to take a tropical vacation this winter? No, but it IS delicious. The mango is sweet (sweeter than I usually prefer) but the coconut and dark chocolate balances the sweetness well. The coconut is mild but it works well to create a rich and fully rounded flavour with the chocolate. -

These are fantastic. The blueberry acai dark chocolate is my favourite and I always have a bag in my fridge and the blueberry almond with acai bar is just as good. The flavour is rich and the texture is perfect. It took all my self control not to scarf the entire bar in one sitting, but also I couldn't bring myself to share it either! I love it! -

So I gave this a try the day after it arrived and I was really excited about not having to drop $40 for a pedicure, but it didn't give me the soft, smooth feet I was hoping for.
It smoothed out some of the roughness on my heels, but nothing very drastic; I didn't notice a huge difference. This might be a great product for someone who doesn't have very rough, dry feet to begin with, or perhaps you need to use it a couple of times to notice a real difference. I haven't used an electronic foot file before, but this worked as well as a handheld foot file does, but without the danger of using too much pressure and tearing your skin (the fact that it shuts off if used with too much pressure is a great feature).
For a $50 price tag, I probably wouldn't purchase this, but I'd recommend it to anyone who doesn't require a lot of work on their feet or for between pedicure upkeep.
The device is really easy to use and to clean.
