I was really looking forward to trying out micellar water for the first time since I was hearing such great things about it.
Unfortunately I wasn't all too impressed with the Garnier SkinActive Micellar Water. It did an OK job with removing my makeup (I tested in on mascara and eyeliner). I feel like I had to use a lot of the water to get the job done, and even then I found that it left behind some of my mascara, which wasn't even waterproof. It suds up slightly when you use a fair amount and left my face feeling like I needed to rinse it off, yet dry at the same time.
This one definitely was not for me in the end which is sad because I really wanted to like it!

Like the Lipidol Cleansing Face Oil I did not have high hopes for the Overnight Face Oil. Again, I loved the packaging, the simplicity of it caught my eye, but it's oil, I had it in my head already that it would not be for me.
I was proven WRONG!
Like the Cleansing Oil. the product was very easy to apply, when I saw the bottle I thought I would end up with oil everywhere! Not the case, all I had to do was hold the bottle upside down over my palm, squeeze slightly and get a few drops out. I found a little went a long way.
The scent was very light, almost a little nutty, like almonds. Once I applied it I really didn't notice the scent. It applied very easily, I did find that after applying it I did feel oily, and I kept wanting to touch my face or wipe it off. Thankfully I used it just before heading to bed, so it was forgotten as soon as I fell asleep.
Being oil I also expected my face to remain oily, or to see oil all over my pillowcase in the morning. Instead I woke up with soft moisturized skin.
I usually have issues with oily skin, but this just proved to me that my skin acts this way because of the products that I use are stripping away its natural oils. By cleansing and moisturizing with oil my skin didn't need to freak out and over produce to compensate for what I usually take away from it.
I was ready to quit with it after day 1, I felt a little pimple starting to break the skin and freaked out, I knew the oil did it. But I stuck to it. That pimple packed up it's bags and left faster than I had ever seen. No sign of it the next day. SUCCESS!
I will definitely be adding this product to my daily routine!

You first apply the cleansing oil to a dry face, and then add water which causes it to emulsify and rinse off. I didn't expect to feel to fresh or clean before using this, it is oil after all. Of course I was wrong! My face definitely felt clean and tingly, not oily at all and not tight like other cleansers leave me feeling. The scent was light and not overpowering. It smelt like a hint of tea tree oil to me, which usually is off putting. It wasn't strong enough though to be a bother or noticeable after washing my face.
Being oil I also expected my face to get oily pretty quick throughout the day. I usually have issues with oily skin, but this just proved to me that my skin acts this way because of the products that I use are stripping away its natural oils.

It didn't smell or feel like it had a lot of alcohol in it like some toners. It was very refreshing to put on my face and I didn't get that burning type feel that similar products tend to have, I found it gentle enough to even remove my eye makeup. My skin felt very refreshed after using it and not tight and dry. I will be replacing my current toner with this one.

This scrub made my face feel so soft and refreshed after using it. I didn't find the little beads to be too harsh on my skin and it had a nice light citrus scent which did not bother me. A little went a long way, it lathered up nicely and left my skin feeling clean.

I liked using this lotion as part of my daily routine. Like the lotion from the same line I found it to be thicker than most moisturizers, again a little bit did go a long way. The smell wasn't too strong which I liked, it didn't irritate my nose or skin like some moisturizers can. It left my face feeling soft and not greasy which is great! I found that my skin looked more refreshed right after using it. I would definitely use this product again.

I liked using this lotion as part of my daily routine. I found it to be thicker than most moisturizers, but a little bit did go a long way. It left my face feeling very soft and not greasy which is great! It also has SPF 20 protection which is an added bonus. Some lotions actually irritate my skin just after applying and this one did not at all. I would definitely use this product again.

I love this dry shampoo! My hair gets oily fast, and I know that it's because I wash it too often, so this is great for me to use in between. It gets rid of any oil quick and lasts all day. It also gives me hair great texture (I have fine hair) which is great for styling. I have an issue with the scent of a lot of dry shampoos and this one doesn't bother me at all! -

I received this item from the Chickadvisor Product Review Club.
This was probably my least favourite of the three Brookside bars. Like the others, being dark chocolate, it wasn't overly sweet which I enjoyed. The fruit in this one added a bit of a tart flavour which was nice. I found though that the blueberry was a bit sticky / gummy and got stuck in my teeth which took away from my enjoying it. I also found the almond to be underwhelming. It was a good bar, but I probably wouldn't run out to buy another in this flavour.
