I used to have very frequent UTIs and since taking cranberry extract occasionally, I really haven't had any trouble. As the previous reviewer noted, the capsules themselves are small and easy to swallow, so if you want to try taking two in the morning and two in the evening it is barely even a bother. If you take them that frequently you will run out of capsules in 45 days though, making the value not as great. It is from a pricier brand but I find it's worth the extra couple of dollars and if you don't take them as strictly as four per day, you will get a lot of use out of them. If this is a concern for you, the pills are also free of dairy and all gluten, which is fantastic. However, if you are a vegetarian they do contain gelatin. I would recommend these and intend to purchase again when I run out. -

My review is specifically about the Lavender variety of Spaviva epsom salts available at Dollarama. It contains 100% Natural Mineral Magnesium Sulfate. I believe there are two other varieties currently - one that is just plain epsom salt without added scent, and another one that comes in yellow packaging and I believe is chamomile. At $1.25 for a package of 454g (1lb.), I think this is great value, especially considering it has the added bonus of the soothing lavender scent. I don't take baths very often but when I do I find that the scent and the salts in the water really helps relieve back and joint pain. The directions actually say to use the entire bag at once to relieve pain, but I find sprinkling about 1/3 or a 1/4 of the bag at every bath already helps, especially when mixed with a bath bomb or other bath product.
I would recommend this product and will be purchasing again, possibly including the other scent as well!

I was a bit skeptical about the necessity to buy cleansing cloths but they have improved my life considerably. Even if you don't have any health problems, these are great to use as a preventative measure because even soft toilet paper can be very harsh on your skin. I find the value for these cloths to be absolutely worth every penny - I paid around $3 for 42 cloths. I don't use them with every visit and they've lasted me quite a while already. The clean ripple design of the cloths really does help to make you feel cleaner and more comfortable. I will recommend these to friends and will absolutely purchase again - I may even buy the dispenser that goes with it. -
Living Proof Perfect Hair Day Dry Shampoo

I have to disagree with some of the chicks that have reviewed this dry shampoo. Maybe they've changed the formula but I find the smell overpowering and the results very lacklustre. I bought the larger size thinking I'd get a lot of use out of it, but I feel like I was ripped off because I paid $30 for a dry shampoo that does not effectively clean my hair. While it does soak up some of the oil and give my hair a bit of volume, for the most part my hair still looks dirty, especially my bangs, which really defeats the purpose. I don't understand why it's not working on my hair because it had so many good reviews on different sites, but I see now that there are quite a few one star reviews on Sephora as well. I will not be purchasing again or recommending to friends. -

I was able to try a trial size of this dry shampoo from a beauty subscription box and I was surprised by how effectively it cleaned my hair. I have been trying dry shampoos (only in spray form) at a variety of price points and coming in between $15-20, Klorane is an affordable option that gives good results. It's still not my favourite of the similarly priced dry shampoos, but I like how gentle it is, the scent, and the volume it gives my thin hair. -

I was able to purchase this Dove Refresh dry shampoo on sale in Rexall for around $4 and I am glad I found it on a sale because it doesn't do anything for my hair. I have thin hair that is prone to looking greasy, and rather than wash my hair everyday and strip it of its natural oils, I like to use dry shampoo to make my hair look clean and voluminous. However, this Dove product does not work that way at all for me. I find that my hair sometimes even looks greasier from having used it because I have to touch my hair to rub it in. I've tried using it at a variety of distances from my head and with brushes, the palms of my hand, with my head down (to comb it upside down), and it just doesn't do it for me. Being sold in the same price bracket as Batiste, I would definitely recommend others to just spend the extra couple of dollars to try or rebuy any of the Batiste varieties. -

I have tried a variety of dry shampoos, both from drugstore and more high end brands, and Batiste is a good second choice for me. I've seen it recently in stores for under $10 for a large can, and the fact that it works in giving your hair volume and soaking up oil is just fantastic. I recently tried a luxury brand that was $30 for the same size can, and I don't find it did anything like what Batiste can do for me. I wish the brand had coupons even it was just for a small amount because I want more people to have the chance to try it. For a while it was only being sold in the UK and online, until last year when I saw it at Winners, and I was so excited that it was coming to Canada. -

I've received several sample size cans of Amika in subscription boxes and bags and haven't found any dry shampoos that are on their same level. It is so effective at cleaning my hair that my hair remains clean for almost 12 hours after using it. My only concern is that the price is quite high and I've only found it online to purchase in Canada. I am going to continue trying other dry shampoos that are easier to get a hold of, but this one is hard to beat. I would recommend to friends and family and intend to try to purchase again. Amika products sell out on Sephora's site very quickly so I will have to move fast. -

I received a mini bottle of the Garnier Micellar Water free from a contest Garnier was having on Instagram. While it is a drugstore brand product and at an affordable price at most retailers, it works well to remove makeup in a gentler way. I wouldn't use it alone as a cleanser because my face does not feel particularly clean after using it, but I do find it clears some of the impurities away. This product didn't blow me away which is why I can't rate it higher than 3.5 stars. I would recommend it to friends as a makeup remover but I'm not sure if I would purchase again when this bottle runs out.
I really appreciate that they have it in a mini size as well as a full size and that the container and cap are well made so there is almost no chance of a leak.

I received a ModelCo Shine Ultra Lip Gloss in a beauty subscription box previously and although I use it everyday I realized I hadn't reviewed it yet! Aside from the great consistency, smell, and shades of the lip gloss, ModelCo had the foresight to have a mirror on one side of the lip gloss tube which has come in handy so much! I received the colour fairy floss which is a shimmery pink. I like light and natural colours so this is perfect for me. It comes in at less than $20 when you purchase directly from the website, so the price is not too expensive, especially considering the brand is cruelty free and vegan. I would love to try this in the shade showgirl red as well and it looks like all of the shades have shimmer to them which is very fun. I would recommend these to friends and will be purchasing again soon! -
