I was initially a little worried about putting oil (particularly oil that costs less than $9 a bottle) on my face overnight. Wouldn't I break out?
Happily, no! A little goes a long way with this product, but I found it provided nice moisture at night before bed, and didn't break me out. It was particularly nice on the very dry skin I get on my cheeks and forehead.
I received this product free from Chickadvisor in return for an honest review.

I really like this cleansing oil. The value is unbelievable when you compare to other cleansing oils with roughly the same results. It emulsifies much faster than any of my other cleansing oils. That's nice because I'm confident I've washed it all off, but I wish I had a little more time to work the product into my skin to dissolve all the oil and makeup before it washed away.
I prefer the scent of my Julep Bare Face oil, but this is a nice, low cost substitute.

Maybelline The Blushed Nudes Eyeshadow Palette

This is good for what it costs. Good variety of finishes, colours and looks that you can make with the pallette. Plus, it's cheap enough to travel with and not be upset if your luggage gets lost.
Some of the paler colours lack pigmentation and coverage, but a few of the shimmers are out of this world. I'd buy it again.

Vicks VapoRub Topical Ointment
This is a must have in my medicine cabinet. It helps me unstuff my nose, clear my chest congestion, and just generally breathe better at night. I will always have a tub of this on hand.

The Body Shop Hemp Hand Protector
Amazingly effective. This is my husband's go-to hand cream. He and I use it every night before bed. To me, the scent is a bit of a drawback, and Body Shop has other scents that are almost as effective, but smell nicer (Almond, Strawberry).

This is a nice tool to pamper your skin with, but quite frankly, I don't think the end result justify the cost to buy and maintain this thing.
I love that it's waterproof and safe to use in the shower, but you have to take it out and dry it every day to keep it from smelling funny. I'll stick with my $5 konjac sponge thanks.

Carmex® Classic Lip Balm
This is my go-to when my lips get so dry int he winter wind that they hurt. I apply generously overnight, and while the scent is distinctly medicidnal, it's absolutely worth it.

Great value on this lip balm. I stock up on Burt Bees lip balms (in this an other flavours/scents) and stash them everywhere. Keeping one in my desk, purse, side table, makeup table, travel bag etc. means I never have to go without a quick swipe.
I find this balm nice at night, but even better during the day under a lipstick or tinted lip product.
Great value, decent effectiveness, and even my husband will use them.

My pup Teddy (5.5 lb, 15 month old Yorkie Poodle cross) was chosen to try out Nutrience Sub Zero Dog Food - Canadian Pacific variety. He received a 2.27kg bag in return for an honest review.
Teddy was on a grain free diet before (Acana Grasslands) and has always fared well with both grain free, high quality dog food as well as the fresh meat supplements we provide him. I've never had problems with any proteins, and he has liked fish in the past. I was excited to try out this new food with him!
I found the Nutrience food to be high quality, easy on his tummy, and fairly enticing for Teddy. He's a picky eater, but the freeze dried Nutriboost cubes got him a little more excited with his bowl. I really liked that the additional freeze dried protein is right in with the kibble so I don't have to manually add supplements like tripe or other meat to his meal to get him to eat it.
The package is easy resealable, and the kibbles are appropriately sized for his tiny mouths but would still be fine for much larger dogs too. From a price perspective, it's a little more expensive than the Acana alternative would be ($33.99 per 2.27kg compared to $23.99 for the same size). That said, it also don't have to supplement my own enticements, so I think the price is about a wash.
I liked this food for my dog and feel comfortable with the ingredients. I'd buy it again to put into his regular routine.

Dermalogica Daily Microfoliant
This product works very well and a little goes a long way. Unfortunately, I find it a little messy and as a result skip using it frequently.
