I have used this make-up setting spray a couple of times over the last week, but unfortunately, my skin has had a reaction to it. My skin isn’t always sensitive so I feel I am probably just sensitive to one of the ingredients. When using this product my skin formed some red-blotchy areas, and when I stopped using this product, the red blotches went away. It could be a coincidence but I didn’t feel like I wanted to chance it.
I’m sure this works great for anyone that doesn’t have a sensitivity to the ingredients. I don’t have very sensitive skin, I can use most make-up products, but there must be something in this that doesn’t agree with me.
I’m giving this product 4 stars because I’m sure that for the average person this products works really great. I have also used other NYX products in the past and haven’t had a sensitivity issue. In fave, I have a small tube of NYX concealer in my purse at the moment that I use quite regularly and I haven’t had any type of reaction to it.
Anyhow, I trust the NYX brand and I’m sure this product does do exactly as it says it does. I just can’t continue testing it when I’ve had a reaction.

I have been using this brow life stick for the last week and it really has been a game-changer! I have fine eye-brows that I have been slowly growing out and I found that this product really helps to lift and shape my eye brows so nicely.
Typically I just use a brow filler, but it just fills in my brows and does not provide any shape. Since my eye brows are sparse, I have been using this product to lift them, and then adding a little brow filler to fill in the gaps.
Overall, I really love the natural shape this product provides, and I love how perked up my eyes look on account of this.
I really recommend this product. This was my favourite item within the beauty pack I received and I know I will be purchasing this in the future!

I have been using this lip gloss for the last week and I really enjoy the retro look it creates! This colour reminds me of the 90’s when light pink lip colours and blue eyeshadows were all the rage! I have found this to be such a nice, natural, feminine colour that can be worn for any occasion.
I’m taking one star off because of the texture. I’m very used to very slick, glossy lipglosses and this had more of a matte look and had a sticky feel to me. The texture is just a personal preference, and I’m sure anyone who is used to matte lip glosses/ lip sticks would not have a problem with it.
I found this lip colour to be quite long lasting.
Overall, this is a great lip gloss and I’m sure many people would just love it!

I have been using this mascara for the last week and I’ve really been enjoying the look of long lashes it creates.
At first, I was daunted by the small bristles, I usually prefer a really plush mascara wand, but these small, fine bristles really found every lash and lengthened and magnified them, I’ve been very impressed!
My lashes are light coloured and fine and they were nice and long and noticeable after using this mascara.
I found that this mascara also wasn’t clumpy, which is also nice.
Overall, this is a great mascara and I would really recommend!

Let me start by saying that I have been a big fan of Chapman’ products for a long time and these cones definitely did not disappoint.
Prior to testing this product, I’ve been in love with the Canadian Grizzly cones by Chapman’s that are similar in the fact that they also have a delicious caramel center, lovely soft sugar cone and chocolate coating.
What I love about the Twister cones is the delicate combination of chocolate and vanilla flavours with the swirl of chocolate coating throughout. The carmel center is soft and delectable, and the sugar cone is just the perfect texture. I like that the cone is soft and not crisp- it is much easier to eat that way. I like that the box contains two similar but slightly different flavours. The chocolate cones are very unique, and delicious. I’m a chocoholic so I love that there is an extra-chocolatey option, though I really love sugar cones too!
Overall, the flavours just blend so beautifully together and this product is just such a delight. I love that Chapman’s uses quality, Canadian ingredients. These cones are definitely a delightful treat!

I have had the opportunity to try this lovely tea in exchange for my honest opinion and I have to say, I absolutely adore it!
I would like to mention that I’m a bit of a tea connoisseur. I worked at Teavanna when it was in operation, and during the time I worked there for the duration of a year, I had a chance to sample every one of their teas (over 80 different teas!). As well, I have tried many other teas, from box teas to loose leaf teas and I’m someone who drinks tea very regularly, so I have developed a pretty good palate when it comes to tea.
With this being said, I can honestly attest that this is one of the best fruity teas I’ve tried! This tea is made with a combination of red berries: hibiscus, elderberries, black currants, bilberries and cranberries. The flavour is full bodied, medium- bold without being overpowering. This is a very mellow tea for having several strong notes. The flavour is absolutely wonderful on its own. Some teas just don’t seem to taste right without the addition of a sweetener, but I have tried this tea with and without sugar and I do like it better without. It does have enough of a natural sweetness to it, and it is very flavourful.
I have tried this tea both hot and cold (as an iced tea) and I love it for both. I could see this tea being a good base for summer cocktails in its iced form.
Overall, I love how this tea has such natural ingredients. I love how it has a bold flavour while still tasting mellow. The packaging is also lovely.
This is honestly one of the nicest teas I’ve tasted. If you are familiar with the Teavanna brand (now mainly discontinued) this to me, is very reminiscent of the well-loved Youthberry tea.
I highly recommend this tea and would definitely purchase in the future, especially at the very reasonable price-point that it sells for!

I have had the opportunity to try this for free in exchange for my honest opinion and I have found this to be a very nice face cream.
I have been using this face cream every morning for the last two weeks and it has been working quite well. My face is a little sensitive so I have noticed a couple of small break-outs while using this cream, I’m uncertain if this is directly related to the product or moreso to changes in the weather (sometimes changes of the season affect the sensitivity of my skin).
This face cream has a lovely citrusy scent that is very pleasant and uplifting. This cream has a nice creamy texture that glides on smoothly and soaks into my skin quite quickly without leaving a greasy residue. My skin felt very soft and rejuvenated after using this product.
I think this is a wonderful face cream. I think someone without skin sensitivities would really adore this!

I had the opportunity to try this product for free in exchange for my honest opinion and I have really been enjoying it.
For the last two weeks I have been using this deodorant every day and it has been working very well for a natural deodorant.
This deodorant has a thick consistency which I really love, when I apply it it really goes on well even if I have just gotten out of the shower and I’m still damp. The scent is a very light vanilla scent that is pleasant. If I were to suggest anything for this deodorant, I would say that giving it a stronger scent would be better, something like lavender, eucalyptus, peppermint, lemon, or a combination of strong essential oils so that when sweating occurs any odor would be really masked. The light fragrance was nice, but I like to smell a nice strong deodorant scent when I’m sweating.
I did find this deodorant was very effective for every day use. I sweat easily and I found that this was effective with preventing a lot of sweating and with masking odor when it comes to moderate physical activity. I have been working out lately for about 45 minutes a day, and I have tried using this deodorant while working out but it has been less effective for me with heavy physical activity.
I would say overall though that for everyday light to moderate activity this is a great deodorant and I love that it is made with natural, healthy ingredients. I would really recommend!

I received this shampoo for free in exchange for my honest opinion and I have absolutely been loving it! I have been using this product for the last couple of weeks and I have really noticed a significant difference in the health of my hair.
The best part about this shampoo is just how clarifying it is. My hair feels especially clean after using it, it seems to get out all built up residue.
My hair has also been feeling soft and looking healthy and shiny after using this shampoo.
It is important to note that my hair is colour treated and heat styled and therefore requires a lot of extra loving care. This shampoo has been very nourishing. I love that it is made from natural ingredients and that it also smells lovely as well.
This is a wonderful shampoo and I highly recommend! This product is at a great price point and I would definitely purchase in the future!

I received this product for free in exchange for my honest opinion and I have been loving it so far! I recently had a milestone birthday and I have been noticing some fine lines around my eyes. I have been using this cream for about three weeks now and I have observed that my fine lines have decreased and my skin has become very soft, smooth and moisturized. I also love the scent, which is a soft floral/fruit scent that is very spa-like to me.
I highly recommend Neutrogena’s Rapid Wrinkle Repair. This is a lovely product that really is effective. It also has a very good price point compared to similar brands for this type of cream. Overall, I’m very happy with this product and will be purchasing in the future!
