This instantly made my dry lips feels soft and perfect for lipstick application! Two sticks for $5.99 means I can throw one in my bag, and keep one at my desk for instant relief.
This is incredibly light and doesn’t have a strong texture, so I’m not aware of my balm after applying it. Didn’t give it a perfect score because of the strawberry scent, but that’s just a personal preference though. Can’t wait to check out what other flavors these come in though - I’m hoping passionfruit, mint, or pineapple!
Also, 100% natural?! THANK YOU!

I’m a huge iced tea drinker, and I love Teapigs for their stronger flavours. I find that other tea companies get too weak after adding ice, but these never do. My favourite way to drink this is with a lot of ice, and a splash of coconut dairy-free creamer - it’s my refreshing afternoon treat.
I do find that they’re a bit too strong for a single cup, so if you’re making it straight please watch out for how long you leave the bag in. One teabag makes an entire teapot for me, and more enough to fill my large nalgene for the iced version. So 15 bags/$9.99 is great!

This loose bronzer is absolutely gorgeous! 10g of product for $30.00 is also fantastic value, meaning that this is going to last for a very long time!
I’m quite fair, so this bronzer adds a great natural glow without striking too orange which is a serious issue for me. It also has a very subtle shimmer that adds just the right touch of glow, meaning that I can skip highlighter if I want.
It feels incredibly finely milled, so it doesn’t accentuate texture or feel heavy after application. It’s also cruelty-fee, and doesn’t contain parabens or other nasty ingredients, and my sensitive skin really appreciates that.

I used this to apply bronzer, and I found the bristles at the center to be too stiff for how I apply bronzer. I think this brush might be ideal for overall finishing powder, or a natural powder foundation. It is incredibly soft and didn’t irritate or hurt my skin for application, and I really appreciate that.
I do love that inside the packaging, there’s a small rubber base to keep the brush standing after you’re done using it though. The brush is also perfectly weighted, so the handle allows for steady use during application.

The Rose highlighter stick is too dark for my fair complexion, but I did instantly fall in love with the golden tone. I think it’s perfect for a summer tan multistick that I could throw on as a shadow, sparkly blush, and lip colour for that perfect monochrome effortless look. Why I didn’t give it a higher score? The stick is too glittery for a highlighter, IMO. I like a softer shimmer without glitter, and if you’re the same, don’t use this as a highlighter.
I do love that NudeByNature is a cruelty-free brand that’s free of the harsh chemicals, so I’m not worried about throwing it on my eyes and lips. I would try the champagne colour as my winter shade, and rose for summer.
As a multistick I think it’s a great value for $28.00, and comparable to other favourite brands.

Have to try this longer to give a full review, but upon first impression I did note that a very light layer leaves the skin feeling moisturized with a slight tackiness - so this feels like it might be a great primer for the winter months. Hyaluronic acid means the moisturizing effect is carried past initial application, so I’m looking forward to seeing how my slightly dry patches look after prolonged usage.
Lightly scented, which is a mild concern, but it is a very slight smell. Skin doesn’t feel irritated at all upon initial application. I do feel that $24.99 might be a bit high for the 30mL bottle though.
Quick note: make sure to not apply too much or the slight tacky feeling stays. Dry down does take some time when too much is used. One pump for the whole face!

Not recommended alone, but this would be FANTASTIC for summer cocktails! The cherry note is subtle, but pomegranate does come through quite clearly. A splash of this to a pomegranate syrup cocktail would be divine, and add a delicious sparkle! Also, unsweetened means these would be completely guilt-fee and super refreshing.
Glad Canada Dry is sticking to natural flavors as well, meaning that a mocktail option is also feasible - for anyone who isn’t drinking alcohol. The price is decent, for $4.99 per case, considering it’s naturally flavored.
