This is a great moisturizer. It is lightweight, has a mild scent, and does not leave a greasy sheen to my skin. Another plus is the dispenser: it is a pump so the product will never become a breeding ground for bacteria. Also, this has no animal ingredients and is totally cruelty free.
My skin didn't feel as hydrated after some time, but that's because of my skin type. If you have oily skin, then I think you'll like this product very much.

Pantene products are usually great and very effective, so this product was no surprise to me. It smells heavenly, scent is usually a deal maker or breaker for me, and my hair feels great every time I use it. I'm used to runny conditioner, so the thick consistency of this conditioner took a little bit of getting used to on my part.
My hair feels so much more manageable after and it does look a little shinier than usual. I don't have anything negative to say about this conditioner -- it is just such a good product that delivers without the hefty price tag.
This product was given to me for testing.

I LOVE this bronzer. I must admit that I had my reservations before trying this bronzer out since I associated the Hansen brand with nail polish only. BUT I must say that this bronzer is one of the best I have tried.
I just swirl my blush brush on the three colours of the palette to create a bronzed glow that you get after a few hours underneath the sun. The powder itself has a light floral scent that I love. Not a huge fan of the brush, so I’ll be sticking with my MAC brush.

This cleanser is great for the morning when I have just stumbled out of bed and need something to wake me up pronto. The citrus scent is invigorating and the little beads gently exfoliate my skin. It promises not to dry out the skin, but I did feel a little bit of dryness afterward.
I have yet to see any qualitative changes as far as anti-aging goes, but it does thoroughly clean my skin without feeling too harsh.
All in all, this cleanser is awesome!
I received this product for testing.

This product is every spa experience I've ever had in one sleek and classy bottle. It goes on smooth on the skin and leaves a nice scent that is not overwhelming. I have not seen any major improvements on my skin, but I can tell you that it's nowhere near as dry as it was before. -

This soap is seriously the bees knees. The bees knees! It smells so wonderful -- reminds me of the French countryside, and does not leave any of that icky residue most soaps leave on my skin after rinsing off. The price is a little steep for such a small soap, but I would gladly get one myself once I'm out.
I was given this product to review.

Love is not a word I throw around freely, but I have to say that I do LOVE this soap to bits.
It is SO gentle on my skin (I use it on my face, too) and the smell is just super wonderful. It also lathers up quite nicely so you don't have to use so much.
L'Occitane soaps are much more expensive than most, but I do think that they are worth every penny. What you get for your money are excellent quality products that deliver and, oh, who can forget the smell! They smell so heavenly!!
This product was given to me for testing.

This concealer was a pleasant surprise. I don't use much Rimmel products -- in fact, it has been at least 3 years since my last Rimmel purchase. But, man, does this concealer deliver. I have deep and dark under eye circles which I'm very conscious about and they are hidden flawlessly underneath Match Perfection 2-in-1 Concealer.
The concealer goes on very opaque on the skin, but is very easy to apply due to its creamy consistency. Not a big fan of the packaging, however, as you have to squeeze the product out onto the brush applicator which has a tendency to dry up making it hard to use at times.
Overall, really great stuff, applicator issues notwithstanding.
This was given as a test product.

I went to Sushi Xtra for lunch and had their C.N.E and salmon rolls. Both rolls were super DE-LISH! I definitely recommend this place for those who live or work around Queen St. West.
The fish was very fresh and the rice is slightly warm -- just the way I like my maki!
Service is really good and the place itself is clean and well maintained.
My only gripe with this place is that they don't have a Lunch menu like most sushi joints do.
