Pure Ice Nail Polish

I only have one shade of this line, so maybe others are different. I bought the metallic hot pink shade that shows up on this listing. I may try a creme colour in the future to see if they are the same.
This nail polish is super thin and requires multiple (4-5+) coats to get anything that is remotely opaque. It's a shame, because I like the actual colour of the polish. I've found that I will sometimes wear it with a coat of white polish underneath, so that I get the right opacity in fewer coats - but even then I need one coat of white and 2-3 coats of the pink.
It's been relegated to my "rarely used and should be thrown out" bin of nail polish. If it was a more pigmented product, it would be a favourite out of my 100+ bottles of polish.

I am a big fan of Zoya,the nail colour is high quality and really lasts. I love the selection of shades, there is always something that appeals to me. I have a few that I love so much, I use them as the inspiration for my makeup or outfit (where normally I would pick a nail colour to go with my outfit).
Bold colours and good coverage in two coats. Colours stay bright and impactful for at least a week, usually two (but I usually change my nail colour each week, so I can't say much beyond that).

Life Brand Epsom Salts
I suffer with chronic pain, so sore muscles are pretty normal in my life. I love to soak in a hot bath with epsom salts after a physio appointment or just on a bad pain day. It's even better in the winter when it's cold and damp.

This product was a bit of a disappointment. The Ordinary does so well with skincare, I've loved most of the products I've tried. Not so much with this one.
Everytime I use it, it pills up. If I use it on dry skin with no other product, the moment I add anything, moisturizer, primer, syrums, etc. It pills up. I now use it only if I have time to allow it to sink into my skin, cleanse my face, then use my other products. Which probably is a waste, but I want to finish the product at least.
It's not expensive, like all of the Ordinary products. I wonder if it works better on dry skin? I have oily skin.

I tried a bunch of Ordinary products and this is one of the best of the lot that I bought.
I've noticed an improvement in my skin, it's softer, fewer lines, smaller pores,and just looks so much nicer than before. If you're thinking about buying it, go for it. It's really not very expensive and works well.

I found this product to be very greasy. I was disappointed because I liked the night cream so much and I'm generally a fan of Nivea products. I'm glad I didn't pay full price! I bought it last christmas and still have some left over.
It's so greasy and doesn't absorb into the skin. If I wear it on it's own, I look like a greasy mess (I have oily skin to start). You can't wear makeup over it, it slides right off your face.
It's too bad, I had high hopes for this.

I bought this as part of a Chrismas package last year that came with the day cream and hand cream. This was my favourite of the three.
I found it absorbed into my skin overnight and helped the appearance of fine lines around my eyes. It has a light, pleasant scent. Not greasy or heavy. Not a bad lotion at all.

I love this cream, especially if I have gotten a bit too much sun. I actually tried this for the first time when I got a free sample at some event. I didn't think much of it until I realised I had a bit of a burn. I aplied the lotion because I didn't have anything else on hand and it really helped. I've used it a few times after that when I've found myself with a burn or dry skin and it always works well.
It's a little heavy, so I don't use it every day, just when I need a big dose of moisture.

NIVEA Pearly Shine Lip Balm
I enjoy this lip balm for the most part. It is creamy and works well to protect and moisturize my lips. I'm not 100% on the shade, I wish it was a bit darker. Next time I will see if there is a darker colour I can buy. This one is significanly... +
I enjoy this lip balm for the most part. It is creamy and works well to protect and moisturize my lips. I'm not 100% on the shade, I wish it was a bit darker. Next time I will see if there is a darker colour I can buy. This one is significanly lighter than my natural lips so it looks off when I wear it.
Overall, it works well and I would buy it again

life clear action medicated acne gel
I have oily skin so I'm prone to a bit of acne every once in a while, so I like to have a spot treatment on hand. I find a lot of the acne stuff is geared to the teen crowd, not a lot for those of us getting close to 40. This stuff doesn't work at... +
I have oily skin so I'm prone to a bit of acne every once in a while, so I like to have a spot treatment on hand. I find a lot of the acne stuff is geared to the teen crowd, not a lot for those of us getting close to 40.
This stuff doesn't work at all. It actually leaves my skin worse than before. It's mostly peroxide, so it just irritates the skin. I will wake up with nasty red blotches where I've used it. Oh, and with an unchanged zit.
So it doesn't reduce the healing time for acne, irritates the skin, and leaves red marks. Don't waste your money. Honestly, even toothpaste works better!
