Super impressed with this deodorant! I’ve tried many natural brands and none really stood out to me as well as this one has. It’s very effective at keeping you dry throughout the day, goes on smooth, didn’t feel sticky or anything! The scent is mild and pleasant (it managed to make rose smell light and fruity, not overpowering and dusty), and my sensitive skin had no problems with it. Highly recommend. My only issue with it was the strange texture once it dries on the skin, it does feel strange and powdery, but that may just take some getting used to? Overall, big win in my books. -

This product was another that I was pretty hopeful for! Aveeno is known for advertising "natural" ingredients but then using a lot of filler, so I was semi skeptical on this one.
All in all I actually didn't hate it! This product states that it leaves you with a "glow", which it does in the form of a sheen, or dewy residue. If you are not a fan of the dewy look, I'd recommend using below a mattifying foundation, or setting with a powder, because it definitely leaves a slight reflective film on the skin.
The scent isn't overpowering, and it's easy to apply.
For me personally, I found this irritated my skin slightly and left me with little red bumps after multiple uses, despite having no allergy to any of the Ingredients, so it's a pass.
But if you're looking for a heavier, oilier serum, this might be it!

I wasn't sure what to expect with this product! I regularly use micellar water in my current routine so adding this cleanser into the mix seemed like a pretty good idea.
The thing I did like about this cleanser, was that it left my skin feeling soft and healthy. It definitely won't leave you dried out or greasy, just a nice normal skin texture.
I don't really have any negatives for it, other than it did the really deliver any "glow" or benefits to my skin, none visible at least.
All in all, didn't hate it, didn't love it, probably wouldn't purchase it for myself.

Even though deep navy blue is not exactly what many think of when they think of their classic "going out" lipstick, that's what this one is for me. Honestly, I love this shade. It's matte, it lasts, and it glams up any basic eye look in a flash.
It does tend to transfer slightly, so you just need to be a little careful with outfit planning, but other than that, it's my usual go to! Totally worth the higher price tag, and always gets loads of compliments!

I picked this up on a whim, to try something new for a change. I was actually fairly pleased with the results! I've been using it for roughly a month now, and it's left my skin nice and moisturized which is awesome.
My skin is naturally very dry and sensitive, and this helped to clear up any dry patches I had, without causing any breakouts. The coverage is medium/buildable and I love the added sun protection! Great product for the price.

You know that feeling you get when you realize that you have a serious addiction to something but you don't even care? That's how I feel about this stuff.
I kicked my soda habit years ago which was tough at first, but since Perrier makes lime/lemon flavoured sparkling water now I honestly don't need anything else!
A great alternative that you can actually feel good about drinking in excess, plus I always feel just a little bit fancy drinking out of these green glass bottles, ahaha.
Also great for my long bartending shifts, when I need to stay hydrated but want something a little better than tap water!

I really wanted to like this product, I really did.
Unfortunately, it was probably one of the most difficult eyeliners I've ever worked with. I used the correct eyeliner brush that came with the little eyeliner pot, but the product was very dry and extremely difficult to even get onto the brush, and even MORE difficult to attempt to apply to lash line.
It does not spread in a clean line, it tends to clump and smudge.
I realize that using eyeliner from a pot takes experience, but I actually have that experience and it was still awful.
The only plus side to this product for me was that it was a free gift, and if I really need a dark base for a darker shadow, I can first smudge this product over my lid as a primer. But as a liner? No go. Terrible.

So, I am actually guilty of owning approximately 9000 tubes/tins/etc of lip balm/gloss.
HOWEVER..this one is by far my favourite.
I actually own it in strawberry, peppermint, as well as the original rose version, but the strawberry version is my usual go to.
It goes on smooth without feeling greasy or tacky, retains lip moisture, and allows my lips to actually stay plump and soft even under a dark matte lipstick (I know!!!).
It stays put all night, and keeps my lips safe from my brutal -40 degree celcius candian winters (which is more than I can say for any other lip product I have ever tried, natural or otherwise).
A little goes a long way, so don't stress about leaving one in each purse or pocket, you're better off that way anyway!
