Before trying it on, I swiped my finger of the top. It's really soft and didn't deposit too much product on my finger. It has a very subtle, fresh scent which I appreciate because I don't like heavily perfumed products, especially in the underarm area since everyone's body chemistry is so different.
I wore it for the day, which included walking my dog a couple of times, and there is no body odour or strange body and product scent. It actually became unscented over the course of the day. It glides on clear so didn't leave any streaks on my clothing. Since it doesn't have aluminum in it, I feel comfortable wearing it even while working from home where no one can smell me.

This product is really soft and didn't deposit too much product on my skin. It has a very subtle, citrus scent (very subtle) which I appreciate because I don't like heavily perfumed products in the underarm area since everyone's body chemistry is so different.
It seemed to have become unscented over the course of the day. It glides on clear so didn't leave any streaks on my clothing. Since it doesn't have aluminum in it, I feel comfortable wearing it even if I don't leave the house.

I was able to use the product for a week and a half and I don't see a difference in the appearance of my skin. However, after regular use, my skin does feel smoother, which would lead me to believe that its claim of wrinkle repair would be true. It has no scent, which is nice. -
Dove 0% Aluminum Deodorant Coconut and Pink Jasmine Scent

I've been using aluminum free deodorants for a while now, and though I continue to use them, they set the bar pretty low for new products. There aren't many to choose from.
But my first impression on the Dove 0% Aluminum deodorant was a good one! My experience:
1. Used it right out of the shower at the gym. My gym towel isn't the most absorbent so my underarms are still wet when I go to put deodorant on. Usually deodorants slip and slide, and I feel like nothing is transferring to my skin. Not Dove. It felt smooth, but I could tell I'm putting it on. It was great!
2. The scent is so nice. Not too coconutty, and not too floral. I'd use the scent as a perfume if it was available.
3. I did the pit smell test throughout the day. Usually by the end of the day, I can smell a little something, but I was pleasantly surprised that I was still pretty fresh when I was getting ready for bed.
All in all, great product!

PowerBar Plant Protein Cashew, Salted Caramel and Dark Chocolate

There's something about salted caramel that makes my mouth water. And combining that in a protein bar that I can take with me when I'm on the go, when I don't necessarily have time to eat a meal is perfect.
The texture of the crisps were a little strange to me, but after a few bits, it didn't bother me much. I guess I expected them to be more crispy and less hard.
Good product overall.

I love peanut butter protein bars! This wasn't overly sweet, and eating it didn't make my jaw hurt like other protein bars. The texture took some getting used to, but it was still good.
I like carrying protein bars in my bag in case I get hungry while I'm on the go, and being plant protein based was a plus for me.

I bought this mascara because I saw many reviews on youtube comparing it to Too Faced "Better Than Sex" mascara. I have never tried the Too Faced mascara because of the price, but with all the buzz about the L'Oreal dupe, I figured I would give it a try.
Opening the tube: the brush is an hourglass shape, and it wasn't overly saturated with product, which I like.
Application: The shape of the brush allowed for good application and "hugging" of my lashes. Even when I curled my lashes there was minimal transfer of the product to my eyelid. The brush did a great job separating my lashes and coating each one with mascara. I really dislike when mascara wands don't separate my lashes. They're not the fullest lashes, so separation is crucial!
Buildability: I've only ever done 2 coats of this mascara, because it's pretty dramatic already with 2 coats. I usually do 1 coat for day to day, and 2 coats when I want a little bit extra. But even with the 2 coats, the second coat glides on pretty smoothly. It doesn't feel clumpy or crunchy when I put the second coat on, and the mascara still looks fairly smooth on my lashes when I apply the 2nd coat. It adds great volume to my lashes, and even does a good job lengthening, just not as good as the volume.
Anyway, for the price, I think this one is a keeper. There are other mascaras that I enjoy, which are cheaper than this one, but they're not as good, and for less than $10, you can't go wrong! Hands down, my favourite drugstore mascara!!

NIVEA 2-in-1 moisturizing primer for normal skin was a great base for my foundation that left my skin feeling moisturized and smooth.
I don't usually use a primer under my foundation, but rather use a moisturizer and set it with powder, so while I was trying this product out, I decided to skip the moisturizer and setting powder.
From the moisturizing standpoint, it left my skin just as moist and soft as my usual daily moisturizer. I have normal to dry skin, and sometimes the skin between my eyebrows flakes during the day. That wasn't the case with this. And it didn't leave me looking particularly greasy either, so that was a plus.
As a primer, I didn't notice any difference in how my foundation applied compared to how it applies over my daily moisturizer. There was no slipping and sliding of my foundation, despite not having set it. I still powdered my nose once in the middle of the day, but that's typical for me. So really, this product is equivalent to setting my foundation with powder.
My verdict: great moisturizer, decent primer. If you're like me, who doesn't normally use primer, but uses powder over a liquid foundation, then this would be a good product to have in your routine if you want to eliminate the powdering step.

Dove Shower Foam Shea Butter with Warm Vanilla Foaming Body wash has such a light formulation, but it still made me feel clean, and didn't dry my skin.
It took a few uses for me to get used to the fact that i didn't have to work it into a lather before using it. And I normally don't like vanilla scents, but since it is mixed with shea butter, the scent isn't too strong, and I ended up having a nice, light, fresh scent after having a shower.
Since you don't have to work it into a lather, I feel like it rinses off so much easier than other body washes, and it could be the reason why my skin didn't feel as dry after having a shower. All in all, it's a really great product and I would highly recommend it to anyone with sensitive or dry skin.
