Tim Hortons Coffee
I start every day with a medium cup of Tim Horton's coffee and I probably wouldn't be able to function otherwise. The taste is good, the price is great, and the service at most of their shops is usually quick.

I've heard a lot of great things about this product and was very eager to try it, only to be disappointed. It's not the worst foundation I've used, but it did not live up to the hype. It does go on thin, doesn't cake, and the coverage is good with a very smooth finish. The product won't last the whole work day, even with primer and setting powder on which was a big concern. The most frustrating however, is the fact that just like with most foundations available in drugstores, these have warm undertones. I'm very pale. The "drained of blood" kind of pale, with cold undertones, not "so pale I'm see-through and therefore pink" kind of pale. So when I use this, it makes me look flushed. Not for me. -

I've always known Vichy to be a reliable brand and to stand behind their claims about their product, but they really outdid themselves with this scrub. If you have sensitive skin and have been hesitant to use scrubs in fear that you're face will turn beet red and your skin will hurt, fear no more. This scrub is by far, the only scrub that hasn't left my face feeling irritated. It is lightly scented, and only a small amount is needed to wash the whole face. The little granular beads in the scrub are small and gentle enough that they won't feel like bits of sand, as some other scrubs do. This creamy scrub is easy to apply and spread on the face and comes off easily too, leaving your skin feeling soft and refreshed. It also helps remove black heads.
I highly recommend this to everyone, but especially those with sensitive skin. I experienced no irritation, and very little redness.
Note: I did get to try this product for free, as part of the ChickAdvisor Product Review Club.

This is a product I will definitely be coming back to, and I am so happy I got to try it for free as part of the Review Club. This cleansing gel has a light, fresh, citrus smell, and only one pump is enough to wash the whole face. It foams well and really gets all the dirt. It removed residue from my waterproof makeup in seconds, and left my skin feeling soft and looking clean. I've tried tens of different cleansers available on the market as my skin is prone to breaking out during the summer when my pores clog up more easily. I absolutely loved this product as it really did improve my skin and got all the dirt off at the end of the day. My skin is also sensitive and this product didn't cause even the slightest of irritation. Will definitely be coming back to this cleanser! -

I wear waterproof makeup almost everyday, all day long, and I make sure it stays on by using a solid primer and setting spray. Because of this, at the end of the day, it takes me a while to remove it all. So far, most eye make up removers left me with panda eyes, and I would have to remove the rest the next morning or using coconut oil. Vichy makeup remover was an extremely pleasant surprise. It removed my waterproof cat-liner and mascara in seconds without much left over make up residue. The product is completely scent free and safe to use, as I did get a bit of it in my eye by accident once, and didn't experience any irritation. This product is for sure on par with coconut oil which was the only thing so far that removed my heavy eye makeup efficiently. The only issue is of course, the price, which is a little higher than other makeup removers. This product is great as the bottle closes tight and none of the product will spill in travel, but due to the cost I might continue with coconut oil. -

These are the upper end of chocolates. The thin dark chocolate coats a creamy mint fondant, that melts in your mouth. They are absolutely delicious and a perfect, not overly sweet treat that works well after a dinner or with coffee or tea. They are certified Kosher, and used to be dairy free, but as of now butterfat has been added to them, so unfortunately they are not a vegan treat. -

These were a huge part of my childhood. The delicious, double layer milk chocolate is what the Kinder brand was known for, and the egg comes with a toy inside of a plastic container. The prices of these vary by place, and sometimes you'll spot them in limited edition variations based on popular children's movies, like Disney Princess. The chocolate is amazing, which is why the only downside to this product is that there isn't much of that chocolate there. The plastic container in which the toy comes in, is now connected with a "hinge" like mechanism to avoid a chocking hazard. -

These are absolutely heavenly. These round chocolate balls have a soft shell and even softer, creamy inside. They are quite sweet, but not overly. You can also often find these chocolates in different variations (dark, white, milk). These are a bit more expensive then other chocolates, but they are worth every penny. -

I tried dry shampoo for the first time several years ago in Europe, and I find that North American beauty products are far behind those in Europe or Asia. This product is ok, but it's nothing spectacular.
Pros: sprays on easily, smells fresh, doesn't leave white residue on hair.
Cons: Doesn't absorb oil that well, hair needs to be brushed trough after
Some quick fixes: if you find it sprays on as liquid - give it a good shake. White residue from dry shampoo - spray from a little farther away, and rub the residue into the hair.
Overall, it will sort of do the trick for me, but it's not the best. I have curly hair, so having to brush the product into hair while it's dry is a no-go. The price is unbeatable though.

I've been using this powder for several months and I absolutely love it. I mostly use the "Translucent" shade to set my foundation in and to "sandbag" under my eyes to prevent makeup from running down my face. It does the trick perfectly and my makeup stays set for the whole day while remaining natural looking and not caked. -
