I was so excited to try and review this product, my skin usually is a mix between normal and a few dry areas that always seemed to be sloughing off dead skin.
This product, used in a regime with the Aqualia Thermal Serum and Aqualia Thermal Awakening Eye Balm has been wonderful. I have no more itchy dry areas, even after 5 hours of sun and chlorine exposure over the weekend with my kids, my skin feels healthy and fully hydrated.
I started to notice the difference a few days into using this product and it has just gotten better, I even forgot one morning and realized when I had gotten to work, usually this would bother me but my skin maintained the hydrated feel and appearance that has been boosted with the use of the Aqualia Thermal Light Cream. I am absolutely interested in trying the night version in the future, especially when the colder weather returns.
Aslo, I love the fresh smell that accompanies all of the Aqualia Thermal products I have had the pleasure of using. They are very lightweight and my skin hasn't felt oily or weighed down after application.
I would absolutely recommend this product to anyone dealing with dry/normal skin issues.

I received the Nivea Express Eye Make-Up Remover as part of my review package along with the Nivea Gentle Cleansing Wipes and was very excited to try both products.
The first thing I noticed about the was the appearance. It looks really cool with the 2 different liquids separated and needing to be shaken for use. The emulsion once mixed almost seemed creamy in in appearance but was very easy to dispense onto a cotton pad and use.
I made sure to use this a number of time in the last 2 weeks to give it a good chance and found it is very gentle and effective in removing all of my make-up, I'm talking no hard scrubbing and no left over residue under my eyes when I wake in the morning. So impressed!! I used this in combination with the cleansing wipes also and found that they work very well in conjunction with each other. The wipes alone were excellent make up removers and this product removed any last remnants when used afterwards. If used before there was nothing left to take off with the wipes. Just make sure you give it a really good shake first!
I would absolutely recommend this product for anyone including those with sensitive and dry skin.

I was delighted when I received my sample of Nivea Gentle Cleansing Wipes, I am constantly trying new face product as I suffer from incredibly dry skin in the winter months. I've been using them daily for about a week and a half and have been so impressed.
1 - I usually suffer from really itchy skin and have to apply moisturizer at least twice per day to my face, since using these moisturizer is an afterthough and my skin has pretty much stopped flaking. It must the the Almond Oil in the wipes.
2 - Make-up removal, I used this to remove my make up a handful of times, and also after eye make-up removal as well. It was very gently, and very thorough. I didn't have to scrub hard, it just lifting the mascara off!
3 - I found the start of my pack a little dry, but after about the 3rd day the moisture in the pack improved. I'm inclined to think it is because of the cold outside when it was shipped.
All in all I will definitely use this product again. I am very impressed with how it has affected my skin.

The regular price on these isn't bad, about average, however, I love when these go on sale, they are so tasty - even the kids like them!
We like to have them with a salad and chicken fingers for an easy Saturday lunch.
I usually cook them a little longer than called for so they are extra crispy :D

I've been so excited to try this as I LOVE club soda with fresh lemon or lime in it but haven't found an option that I really like that's already flavoured.
Well, I don't have to look any farther, this is pretty darn good. I'm loving the fresh taste and that it is a lemon/lime mix. I don't find it bitter at all like some of the no name versions that I've tried.
For grabbing a drink on the go this is perfect, and I feel like I could even use it as a mixer with alcoholic drinks in place of sprite (I don't really like things to be super sweet).
The only complaint that I have about this is that it's not available in all stores, I had to go to a couple before I could find it stocked, so thus am a little late reviewing, other than that I give this 2 thumbs up. Second only to using a fresh lemon and lime, and who has time to pack that when they're on the run!

I received the ProEVEN night formula by accident when reviewing the Vichy ProEVEN Daily Dark Spot corrector. I started using it right away and noticed that my skin seemed to be a little rougher, I think it was the night formula lifting layers of dead skin. About a week into it I started to see a slight difference, however when I added the Daily Dark Spot Corrector to my routine the 2 products combined to see a very noticable difference in the dark spots I had near my hair line, the last one is now about 1/2 it's original size. I also noticed that my skin tone in general has become much more even than it previously was.
I totally recommend using these 2 products in conjunction with each other.

I was so excited to be selected to review the Vichy ProEVEN Dark Spot Corrector as I have some uneven-ness in my cheeks and also some darker sun related spots near my hair line.
I was shocked to receive the Night time formula first, followed later by the Daily Dark Sport Corrector. I've been using the Night formula for a couple of weeks now and the Daily formula for a week. With just the Night formula I noticed a slight improvement in appearance and my skin actually seemed a little rougher...when I added the Day formula the results started. My skin continued to feel rough for a couple of days, which I now realize was the damaged/old skin sloughing off, but by about day 4 my skin felt great.
The spots near my hairline are diminished to about 1/2 the size they were and the product says it can take 4-8 weeks for results so I am excited to see what happens as I continue using it!
The cream is lightly scented but I like the smell, and it goes on well with my regular daily moisturizer.
The Day formula is a 30ml tube that is about $49.50 at Shoppers Drug Mart, this is more than I usually spend on a single product, the Night formula is a little larger tube at 40ml for only a $1-2 more. If I were to keep using this I would likely only use the Day formula as it seems to work better on my skin. This being said it only takes a small amount to get good coverage on my face so I expect this tube to last a while!
All in all if you have spots you would like reduced I would definitely recommend these products!

My kids LOVE Kraft Peanut Butter, I'm talking eating it by the spoonful! Its the perfect mix of sweet and salty and packs some protein in there too, a great energy snack!
I've tried different peanut butters over the years but the taste just doesn't compare, I love the smooth creamy texture too. The chunky is also good but our house prefers the smooth.

GOSH Forever Eye Shadow Stick #06 Plum
I've never used an eye shadow stick before this one and was a little thrown at first because the application was so different than a regular eye shadow but I really like it!
It's a metallic shadow, but I would say it's more of a 'sparkly' shadow, it has what appears to be really fine glitter in it that is seen when applied and smudged. I mixed it with a med broze/pink shadow for a work look that was softer and loved how easily it blended with colour and a regular shadow. It is perfect as is for a night out blended into a nice smoky eye.
I'll be checking out the other colours GOSH offers in this product for sure!

Gosh Prime'n Set powder...
I tried this as both a base and a setting powder, combined and separate and I will continue to use this!
I was a little thrown that the powder is white but it didn't show up on my skin at all, it made a nice smooth base for make-up application and also helped to set the make-up quickly and with a matte finish that didn't look caked on.
I used it as just a mattifying powder as well one day when I didn't have time for make-up and I remained shine free for the whole day, no reapplication needed. I would totally recommend this to anyone who need a quick on the go base and finish powder.
Loved it!
