Now I love that this brand is growing with the times and is using natural ingredients, non GMO, non paraben, etc. I really love that and will continue to use this product especially since the bottle is huge! It's even gentle enough on the face as I've a bottle of face wash with walnuts as exfoliants too. However, for body, I would want something stronger. As a regular gritty body wash, this is fine every few days or so because it's creamy but I'd be forced to buy another product as an exfoliant. I do really like any combo with sea salt tho. I may be different here compared to others but I'm looking for the feeling of dryness... I dunno how to describe it but this leaves you with the feeling of some film left on your skin which for some people may be soft or smooth but to me I want to feel clean. Especially after a scrub man. It doesn't have a strong smell either. -
Aveeno Positively Radiant MaxGlow Peel-Off Mask
This was just average for me. I love a peel off mask and it smells great but I didn't find it to have great results as I feel like it didn't peel off much in terms of whiteheads and I've got a lot lol. Maybe I'm used to the ones that tear off a... +
This was just average for me. I love a peel off mask and it smells great but I didn't find it to have great results as I feel like it didn't peel off much in terms of whiteheads and I've got a lot lol. Maybe I'm used to the ones that tear off a layer of your skin haha. It does have AHA on it, so I at least expected a bit of tingling and I didn't. Frankly, it needed a lot of product to be peeled off properly and so that takes a while to dry. I say this because it claims to be a mask you don't have to wash off but you really kinda do if you're left with bits that didn't peel off. I do love how smooth my skin was afterward which I did expect it to do because Aveeno has great quality products that I have purchased before. I also love how this whole line is paraben and phthalate free. -
Aveeno Positively Radiant MaxGlow No-Mess Sleep Mask

I'm surprised that I do like it because I seldom find a sleeping mask that doesn't break me out. My skin needs it so badly because I'm so dry but I am hesitant to use because they are too heavy or occlusive. Basically what my skin needs, it repels. Go figure. This packaging was a bit awkward but I got the hang of it. It squeezes out so you don't have to use your hands but I end up doing so everytime anyway because I'm afraid it's too much product and I'm paranoid it's too much in one area. So I always smooth it out after but at least I don't use my fingers on the packaging so that's a plus on the design. Scent is good too! -
Aveeno Positively Radiant MaxGlow Infusion Drops
I love the dropper idea. Very clean and well designed. Great quality. It smells great as well. It absorbs well enough, but I don't see much of a difference in terms of brightening. It's a good serum solo and to be mixed for a moisture boost but I... +
I love the dropper idea. Very clean and well designed. Great quality. It smells great as well. It absorbs well enough, but I don't see much of a difference in terms of brightening. It's a good serum solo and to be mixed for a moisture boost but I wouldn't say it lasts 48 hrs. -

I surprisingly enjoyed this. I've had different kinds of yogurt and smoothies before but this kinda takes the cake. I enjoyed it very much. Not too sweet or creamy and my personal taste is a bit picky. I find it's too heavy for me when it's rich with creaminess. The taste isn't bad but I'll go with a different flavour next time to try it out. I love that it can be a great breakfast snack as well. My partner never makes time for breakfast but he would definitely bring this and it's easy to have in the car. -

I was really ecstatic to receive this particular product complimentary to try for my review. Villagio is one of my favourite bread brands to begin with but I've never tried this before. It is very soft and even when I toasted it (not grilled because too much work), it wasn't soft no but I think because it's not that thick, I didn't have a hard time with it.
I usually dislike having the big dense bread from restaurants and that is basically the opposite of this. Taste is basic to me but I really did enjoy it.

I honestly thought it was just another gimmick but I ended up enjoying this mascara. It actually was fun to try each click and bend of the wand to see what was simpler. I don't actually know if it makes a difference haha but I used it with ease and really liked the formula. It wasn't clump town but it wasn't as thick as I would like either so I would still use a primer before it. There wasn't any curl action but it's a great colour and wasn't too hard to remove. I would recommend it. -

I love Derma-E. So I was excited to receive this mask because I just know that they use natural ingredients. This did not disappoint. It has strong exfoliating powers but the detox part I still can't tell if it works or not to be honest and I've been using it for a while now but obviously not everyday or my skin will hate me. Natural or not, I'm not exfoliating everyday. -

It took me forever to find it. Then it was just at loblaws. The flavour is not subtle, it's a bit stronger than I was expecting but I didn't mind it actually so I'm just saying it for those expecting something else. I did like the mineral type of hint to the taste, being alkaline it makes sense but I didn't expect it again lol. I do like that it's in a cardboard box, very environmentally friendly. I recommend them but would like more flavour options. -
NIVEA MicellAIR Water for Dry and Sensitive Skin

I do love a good micellar water as it's convenient and mess free. That being said, this is a great product to have if you are tired or lazy like me on those days you don't wear much makeup and you can remove it in bed or in front of the tv.
The product itself isn't remarkable. It does its job and removes traces of makeup but I would feel better doing a second cleaning on those full face days. You'd also need to invest in cotton pads/balls. Which isn't much but still.
It still is better than just water as it does leave you feeling fresh afterward too. I like the package as well. I would've normally not reached for this had it not been for the product review club sending it to me free for reviewing purposes so I'm really pleased because I love the brand and trust that they always come out with high quality items.
