I love how light this is! I've always used a lotion based, which makes my skin feel greasy and gross. Neutrogena Ultra Sheer Face Mist is such a great change! It absorbs quickly and my skin is left feeling less weighed down compared to a lotion based product. I still have a slight sunscreen feel (slight greasy feel), but it's definitely less apparent with the mist.
The scent is really light and fresh, as opposed to the familiar coconut or generic tropical scent that many sunscreen products have. That was a big thing that won me over.

Aveeno Restorative Skin Therapy repairing cream claims to repair dry and sensitive skin. Perfect product for me to try out since I have both in the winter months! Absorption is pretty good for a cream. I paid special attention to a small patch of eczema that crept up when the weather turned cold. Within two days of applying twice per day, the redness had faded and flakey skin was gone.
Moisturizing effects lasted 24 hours and my skin felt healthy and soft.
I definitely tend to go for products with the full shebang of "free from" ingredients. Aveeno Restorative Skin Thereapy fits the bill, as it is fragrance, paraben, steroid and phthalate free. I am definitely adding this to my winter skin regiment.

I really enjoyed the fresh scent of the Schmidt's Charcoal + Magneseum Natural Deodorant.
It goes on clear, and does not leave residue on my dark coloured tops. The fragrance is light and fresh and lasted 24 hours. No reapplying necessary, as I felt protected the whole day after applying.

Schmidt's Rose + Black Pepper Natural Deodorant was ok. The fragrance would have been better had it not been so overpowering. That being said, I could still smell it before showing the next morning (smelled as though I had just applied).
I did feel protected while using the deodorant. No reapplying was needed, as I did not smell, nor did I feel any wetness.
The downfall is that this does not go on clear and left marks on a black tank top i was wearing.

This is the ultimate replacement for plain old lemon juice in savory recipes! So far, I've made two dishes with ReaLemon Garlic. The first was bruschetta. I substituted for the vinegar in my recipe. Turned out fantastic! The garlicky lemon flavor blended perfectly with fresh tomato and red onion!
The second was a modified version of a pasta recipe from ReaLemon, which included fresh grape tomatoes, zucchini and cheese, with ReaLemon Flavor Infusions Garlic added as part of the sauce.
This product is great! It packs a mega boost of garlic flavor, which evens out the acidity of the lemon. There are so many options for use, and I'm looking forward to creating marinades, salad dressing and vegetable dip in the next few days!

What a fantastic review product! I love my Caesars and Mott's Clamato Reserve kicked it up a notch! The flavor is excellent, although I was expecting a bit more kick. I couldn't really pick up on the fire roasted jalapenos and there really isn't any heat to it.
The one liter bottle made three Caesars, which is quite expensive considering the bottle costs $6.99. The first one I made was virgin, second was the Reserve and vodka and third I went full out with my usual Caesar ingredients. All three were delicious!
I'm pretty cheap, so totally up in the air about purchasing this again! If it were the same price as the regular bottles of Clamato, I'd likely purchase it over the other flavors.

I was chosen to review Mott's Fruitsations +Fibre, Unsweetened Tropical. Unfortunately, I'm late with my update as the kids and I have been battling a nasty stomach bug over the last few weeks.
Alas, we are all back to normal!
The flavor is fantastic! Just the right natural sweetness and hint of tropical fruit to liven up an applesauce treat. My preschoolers enjoy it as both a snack and a special after dinner dessert. As a mom, the added fiber is a huge selling feature, as sometimes my littles (mostly my three year old) are picky. I also appreciate purchasing products that contain natural ingredients and no added sugar.

I had high hopes for Batiste Cleansing foam, but it did not meet my needs.
The scent is amazingly light and pleasant, so I enjoyed that. Like the can says, it dries in 60 seconds.
I normally shampoo my hair every two to three days, and rarely use products in between washes. Once the Cleansing foam dried, my hair felt like I had products buildup. I waited half an hour, and it still felt blah. I didn't find that it had a shiner, silkier appearance. It did tame my flyaways though!

I'm not overly knowledgeable when it comes to wrinkle treatment and retinol oil. I gave Neutrogena Rapid Wrinkle Repair Retinol Oil a try and did not notice any difference in the appearance of lines and wrinkles. It did leave my skin feeling soft and moisturized, but my skin felt weighed down. It was fine after a few hours when it fully absorbed.
I can't say that I'm a fan of oil treatments, but this product does smell nice! The cost is $38.99 at Shoppers, which seems reasonable in comparison to similar products.

Neutrogena Rapid Wrinkle Repair Prep-Cleanser is amazing! Microexfoliants and glycolic acid help exfoliate (no environmentally unfriendly plastic bead crap!). It's non-comedogenic (doesn't clog pores), soap and paraben free.
Finding an amazing exfoliating face cleanser for me, is like finding a needle in a haystack. I've had many issues with breakouts, red blotches and my skin feeling dried out and gross, I gave up on everything but plain old micellar water.
Neutrogena Rapid Wrinkle Repair Prep-Cleanser leaves my skin feeling soft and smooth and doesn't dry it out! Over a week of using and my skin seriously feels healthier than ever!
It's a great value at only $14.99 at Shoppers!
