I recently got the chance to try Everist’s Shampoo and Deep Conditioning Concentrate Tins, and they immediately stood out to me because of how unique they are. Instead of the typical liquid shampoos packed in plastic bottles, Everist offers a waterless, concentrated formula that comes in eco-friendly tins.
Everist’s products are quite different from traditional shampoos, which are mostly water. This one comes in a concentrated cream form, and all you need is a dime-sized amount mixed with water to get a nice lather going. I was surprised at how well it foamed up with such a small amount!
After using both products, my hair felt soft, hydrated, and lightweight. Most importantly, my colour stayed vibrant without any fading. These tins seem like a great alternative to traditional shampoos, especially if you’re looking to reduce your plastic use.

With the colder weather settling in, my skin could use some extra hydration. I received L’Occitane Almond Milk Concentrate for free and decided to give it a try this season. I previously reviewed their Artichoke Body Cream, but now I’m focusing on hydration. It feels rich and nourishing, with a light almond scent that’s not too overpowering. Like the artichoke one, it’s light and super spreadable. So far, it’s keeping my skin soft, but I’m curious to see how it holds up as the temperatures drop!

I’ve been having a blast with the FoodSaver handheld vacuum sealer, especially when it comes to organizing my frozen fruit for smoothies. It’s made my prep time so much faster and more efficient!
The vacuum seal technology is not only super easy to use but also feels really cool when you watch all the air get sucked out of the bag. Just line it up, hold the top button, and voilà, your fruit is perfectly sealed and ready for the freezer in seconds. Plus, it’s a great way to reduce waste and save money. I can stock up on fruit when it’s on sale and keep it fresh way longer.
Now, to stock up on more sealer bags!

The Vida by PADERNO Colour Series 9-qt Trizone Air Fryer has totally sped up my cooking game. Unlike the air fryers I’ve used before, which were basically one small section and cramped, this one comes with a huge 9 QT cooking basket that you can split into two zones with separate temperatures and timers. No more cooking one thing at a time!
One of my favorite features? The Broil option. I usually have to transfer my food to the oven to broil, but this air fryer eliminates that whole extra step which is super convenient. The sync button is also an epic feature. It makes sure everything finishes at the same time by holding off on the side that won’t take as long to cook. When I made chicken wings and garlic parmesan potatoes, they were done fast and perfectly crispy, all thanks to the high-performance circular heat tech.
It’s also really easy to use, with 6 pre-set cooking options and a touch-activated digital interface with an LED display. Using the touch screen on this air fryer feels so fancy. It’s like having high-tech kitchen gear at your fingertips. I’m all about tech, and this interface totally delivers. Plus, cleanup is a breeze with the crisping trays and removable divider. This air fryer combines style, functionality, and convenience, making it a must-have if you’re looking to simplify and speed up your cooking routine.

Let’s be real: the Philips Epilator Series 8000 packs a punch on the first use, and it was quite painful. I could only handle small sections at a time. If you're accustomed to waxing, it might not be as painful. However, I've read that the discomfort decreases with continued use. While the initial discomfort is significant, moving slowly helps. The device promises smooth skin for up to 4 weeks, and although I noticed some red spots where the hairs were pulled, they went away relatively quickly and my skin is silky smooth.
I'm committed to sticking with it to see if the pain lessens over time and if the results really last 4 weeks. If you're prepared for some initial discomfort and looking for long-lasting smooth skin, this epilator might be worth a try.

The Pink Sunrise shade is the perfect Barbie pink for a tinted lip butter! Its soft pink hue perfectly enhances my natural lip colour, giving me an elegant, everyday look. The candy-like scent is delightful, and it leaves my lips feeling buttery soft all day. The pigment is perfectly balanced, so you don’t have to be perfect when applying it, yet it still looks like a soft lipstick. The packaging is luxurious, though I wish it was easier to distinguish the shades. -

I recently received the Armani Beauty Luminous Silk Cheek Tint in the shade Rosy Peach, and I'm in love! The frosted glass bottle feels so luxurious and looks stunning on my vanity.
This is my very first time using a liquid cheek tint, and I've been eager to try one for quite some time. As someone who typically uses cream blushes for their longevity over powder, I was curious to see how this liquid tint would perform.
The texture is lightweight and blends effortlessly, providing a bold flush of color that doesn’t fade or become patchy. I used a bit more product than necessary, not knowing the colour payoff, which resulted in a vibrant and fresh look that lasted all day.
I highly recommend this product to anyone looking for a high-quality, long-lasting cheek tint!

The Urban Decay All Nighter Setting Spray is definitely one of the best setting sprays I’ve ever used! It has a pleasant scent, so I don’t need to hold my breath like I do with other sprays. Setting spray is an absolute must in my routine, and after 8 hours, my makeup still looks amazing! Its temperature control technology keeps my skin cool, which is much appreciated during this current heat wave. I actually thought my makeup looked even better because it had a glowy finish instead of being too matte. With this spray, you and your face are all set for a long-lasting, radiant glow!

The Lancôme Rénergie H.C.F. Triple Serum Eye is extremely lightweight, making it a convenient addition to your bag. However, its lightness makes me wonder about the actual amount of product inside and its longevity. The innovative triple-action pump design is intriguing, though I found that only two of the three products dispensed, and I didn't want to waste too much product trying to get the third out. The serum that did dispense feels silky and absorbs well. If all three worked, it would streamline my skincare routine and address multiple concerns at once. As someone who struggles with morning eyelid puffiness, I look forward to seeing the long-term results. -

This L’Occitane body massage cream starts off thick but magically melts into your skin, spreading effortlessly. After using it, my skin felt incredibly soft and just a pea-sized amount goes a long way! The scent is a little difficult to describe, but it is light, refreshing, and delightfully natural. Made from artichoke leaf extract, it helps improve skin elasticity. Plus, it comes in a heavy, luxurious glass jar, allowing you to use every last inch of product. There are even handy instructions tucked inside the box flap to guide you on where and how to apply and massage it in for the best results. The luxurious jar, delightful scent, and impressive moisturizing results make it a must-have!
