This body butter does have great moisturizing properties and it formulated with really great ingredients. I can't do with this scent unfortunately! This citrus scent gets to be overbearing with constant use. It is also very greasy after application and I find it doesn't always absorbs quickly.
Especially in the summer, my legs would always have some cream residue in the heat.
I would't recommend it for everyone! If you love oranges then this might be for you if you have excessively dry skin!

This Vichy booster does absorbs right into the skin to moisturize it. It has a clear gel type consistency to it and doesn't really have a scent to it so it's great for sensitive skin types. I sometimes even used it on it's own to moisturize my skin without actually using a moisturizer because it did work well. I love the glass packaging and it makes it very appealing to have on the bathroom counter! Same with many other Vichy products.
The only downfall is that the value isn't that great because it's priced quite high for a drug store serum type of product.
I would still recommend it to my family and friends who want an extra boost of moisture in their skin care regimen.

I enjoy the formula of this acne cream. For one, the white colored cream goes on very light and absorbs into the skin without leaving a film. I can apply it before my makeup and there are no issues. This cream does not irritate my skin like some other acne products can. After I put it on, my skin doesn't turn red or itch.
This product did help with some acne that I had. I feel like this really dries out the pimples before they can even get out of hand. I had some acne on my cheeks and it got rid of it quicker than normal.
I think this acne cream is a great value for it's effectiveness!
I would definitely recommend this product to a friend or family member. This would even work on smaller pimples! Apply the cream to stop it in it's tracks.

St. Ives® Acne Control Apricot Scrub

This is basically a staple in my products! I've purchased this countless times because you can't beat it for the price and the exfoliation!
The tube is great to dispense the amount needed for your face.
It has an apricot-nut smell to it which you don't get tired of.
This ACTUALLY exfoliates and shouldn't be used more than a few times a week for those with regular skin.
I use this along with a foaming cleanser a few times a week to get a deeper clean. When I use this without a cleanser, it doesn't clean as well.
So first I cleanse, then I exfoliate.
I love this product and highly recommend!

Okay at first I was worried about how oily this was going to appear on my face pre-makeup. To apply, you shake the bottle and there's a small spout that dispenses drops of the product. Surprisingly, it doesn't come pouring out either which is great. With the drops on my fingers, I then patted my face and even added a tad bit more. Upon initial application, my face had a glow and I am not exaggerating! I then put my foundation (which is oil controlling might I add) and a setting powder. This primer REALLY surprised me for the application of the foundation. It went on smooth and seamless. My face also didn't look oily whatsoever. Cannot wait to keep using this and to try it out with other foundations. As for the price point, about $30CAN at Shoppers as per what I saw on their site,this is priced as a higher performing product. I have to agree with this because 1. it's a serum but 2. it's ALSO a primer. It's a 2in1 and also cheaper than many options at Sephora that don't compare in terms of the glow factor.
HIGHLY recommend!

This hairspray has a jasmine scent to it upon application just like the shampoo and conditionner. I actually dont smell any coconut in this hairspray when it is applied.
The spray nozzle is actually amazing! It comes out as a very soft mist.
The formula is very light and airy on my wavy hair.
Takes a few minutes for the hair to dry as it is water base. Leaves a nice floral scent that fades with time so it isn't over bearing.
It left my hair soft after it dried. No crunchy feeling!
I would recommend to all those with tousled hair (curly or wavy).

This is my go to when it comes to air fresheners. I use this in the bathroom and my utility closer where the cat litter is. This is priced a tad bit higher than the traditional air freshener in the aerosol can but I still prefer this for the effectiveness.
The linen scent is fresh and light. It doesn't overpower and make you want to choke like certain products. The trigger spray bottle is great and easy to use.
It is also safe to use around pets, as per the packaging.
As a cat lover, this is a necessity.
I would highly recommend to my friends and family!

This smashbox primer has a gel like clear texture to it that melts right into the skin. I've noticed I cannot use this with certain face moisturizers I am accustomed to using. You need to make sure your face has completely absorbed the moisturizer before you get to putting this primer on. I have also noticed this can cling to dry patches and takes extra effort to blend it seamlessly.
Aside from that, this primer preforms super well with basically any foundation. It makes your foundation last all day and controls any oil.
This is a higher priced, about $50CAN and it definitely belongs at Sephora.
Because of my issues with the blending I wouldn't repurchase because of this high priced point.
I would still highly recommend, especially if you have SUPER oily skin.

I am a huge fan of Lush for many reasons! Unfortunately, this dry shampoo just doesn't cut it. It's a white, citrus smelling powder. Upon application, I feel like it absorbs some oil but it just doesn't compare to other dry shampoos. Still left my hair looking dirty and not as clean as I would have liked! Especially with the price point of this dry shampoo I expected more.
But...
My hair has changed over the years. It used to be super curly now its wavy so I can recommend this to people with curly hair that cannot comb their hair when they use other dry shampoos, especially those in an aerosol can. There aren't many options for curly haired folks when it comes to dry shampoo. At the least, this powder will absorb some of the oil!

This conditionner smells amazing! When you smell it from the bottle, it smells a lot more tropical-coconut like. In the shower, the notes of jasmine come out. Needless to say, I LOVE the scent of this conditioner.
The conditioner is thicker than your average conditioner. It did a great job moisturizing my hair. I even had touchable soft hair the following day!
It did not weigh my hair down and actually defined my waves a lot better than other brands.
As for the value, this is on the higher price point for a drugstore conditioner. In this case, you definitely get what you pay for.
I would recommend this product to a friend or family member!
