I personally have very wavy almost frizzy hair that I have also chemically damaged so I am always on the hunt for something to tame my curls. I received this in a beauty subscription box so this was a sample size but based on that I do have to say I did not see any really improvement in the hydration of my hair. I did find it did help detangles my wet hair but other than that nothing much else. It does have a nice light floral scent which I did enjoy but there really wasn’t anything more that would make me want to repurchase this item. So my hunt for the perfect hair products still continues. -

I got this on sale after Christmas and just love the scent, it says it coconut with soft peony and creamy sandalwood. To me it has a warm coconut almost vanilla scent to it, I normally don’t like musky scents that sandalwood add but this seems to give warm scent. I don’t personally smell the peony but more of a warm vanilla. The lasting power on this isn’t very long about 2-3 hours but I don’t mine reapplying it. I don’t like that it seems to be a oily like products that does not want to come out of the roller ball applicator so instead I moved it into a refillable perfume bottle I have and it seems to work perfectly out of there. Over all I would by this again if Hard Candy brought it back next year. -

This is a natural makeup line made and located in Canada. I love supporting local companies and have many products from this brand. They are vegan and cruelty free and made with certified organics. I did find that this 15 ml bottle did last a good 6 months to use up and I did feel a tightening around my eyes after using it, one thing I did not like was the slight stinging sensation I would get for a minute or so after use. I never found that it turned my eye area red or made it more sensitive, but it did sting a little. Over all after using it for 6 months I really have not seen any really improvements with the concerns I have with my eye area so I have chosen to try different serum to see if that makes any difference, since I don’t see the reason to deal with the stinging if I don’t see any really results. I did want to love this product with it being natural and Canadian but I just don’t want to deal the stinging sensation every day. -

I did enjoy this floss, I liked the minty flavour but I personally like to use the tape like floss as I feel it does a better cleaning job then the thinner string like ones which this one was. Right not I have a lotif I do in the future I think I would prefer to buy a thicker tape floss. -

I received this is an ipsy bag and I do like that this is cruelty free but it is a blue highlighter. Yes the pigmentation does seem to be very nice and very iridescent but blue is just not suit me. With my very fair complexion and more mature skin type not only does the blue really shine through but it always accentuates my fine lines and pores both of which I do not want to bring attention to. This may work better for someone with a more adventurous style but I personally look for a more natural and nude makeup look. With all this I did declutter this item and pass it on to someone that hopefully would get more use out of it. I would not purchase this again in this colour, another colour I would probably try but not blue. -

This is a paraben , propylene glycol, SLS and synthetic colour free body wash by Bearfoot Venus. It does contain white pine bark, green tea, grape seed extract, Shea butter and ginseng. I really did enjoy this cleaner, it has a soft creamy fruit scent, I can’t really say I smell honey and mango but I did very much enjoy the scent. You really only need just a little to get a nice lather. This is a Canadian own and made in Canada line and I just love supporting local companies. I like that this whole line uses a lot of natural ingredients and I just love the packaging with the old fashion pin up girls. I will definitely buy this item again but I may try another scent. I would also be interested in try other items from their line. -

I cannot say how well this works a sensitivity relief as I got this as a sample, tried it once and the after taste was so bad I had to get rid of it. It smells fine, like cool mint but something in the products has almost like a baking powder like taste when your swishing it around. Personally I like my mouthwash to leave a fresh mint aftertaste since that it was I will taste for a while after and this just did not do that. I can honestly say that personally this is the worst tasting mouthwash I think I have ever tried and would not recommend this. -
Bath & Body Works – Coco Shea Cucumber 24-hour moisture body lotion

I very much enjoyed the scent of this lotion, to me it is a soft floral spa like scent, not too overpowering. It hydrated well and sunk in quickly so I was not left feeling like a greasy mess forever but the scent did last around 4 hours and longer on your clothes. I did find that the 230 ml bottles last about 2-3 weeks with daily total body coverage use so not super long. I would purchase this again if the scent comes bake but because of how fast it gets used up I would wait for one of the many sales Bath & body works has. -
Ombra Spa – Aromatic Body Wash in Citrus Sage

I did like the scent of this body wash, it was just like the name citrus with a herbal scent mixed in, very uplifting in the morning shower. But I did not like that it not only contains SLS but also parabens. I got this as a free item with purchase and because of the parabens I choose to use this as a shaving gels instead of a body wash, just so less skin would be exposed to it. I personally try to avoid parabens when possible but will use up what I currently own and just not repurchase it in the future. It did have an nice lather and if parabens don’t bother you and you enjoy that scent combination then this may be a good item for you. Personally I would find a different citrus scented body wash without parabens before I would consider purchasing this. -

My dentist suggested I try this since I have weak enamel and sensitivity. I am not sure how much improvement this has had at slowing the wear of my enamel but I find it has helped with my sensitivity, I find that it has allowed me to have a cold drink without the worry of the pain if it touches my teeth. I also liked the whitening effect but also didn’t see a huge difference in the colour of my teeth but no difference the other whitening toothpastes. It has a clean mint flavour which isn’t my favourite I a prefer spearmint flavours for my toothpastes. I will continue to use enamel saving toothpastes in hopes that my next dental visiting will show an improvement. -
