a2 Milk™ 3.25% Homogenized Milk
I checked all main stores in the area of Montreal: IGA, Metro, Walmart, Adonis, Pharmaprix, and, unfortunately, was not able to find this milk anywhere. Therefore I am not able to post a fair review of this product.

It kept my skin moisturized overnight and it felt smooth in the morning without feeling sticky or too heavy on the skin.
However, I did not notice any brightening effect on my skin after using it for a week, and had to deduct a star for the smell; I prefer more natural smells while this cream leans towards the perfume end of smell.

Neutrogena® All-in-One Make-up Removing Cleansing Wipes Singles Fragrance Free

Just a note: I am not a fan of using makeup wipes as a part of a regular routine. They are terrible drying, especially during winter months, and the cons always outweigh the pros (fast) when using it at home. I use them only in 'emergency' situations when not having the access to running water.
As wipes go, they:
- Were drying, though maybe less than some other brands
- Removed makeup rather well as the test with a cotton pad and micellar water did not show any makeup residue
- Truly fragrance free
- Irritated my skin because of rubbing, no mater how gentle, as all wipes are
- Not eco-friendly, as all wipes are
The survey asks "Did you find NEUTROGENA All-In-One Makeup Removing Cleansing Wipes to be gentle on your skin?" and the answers given are "Yes" and "Prefer not to answer" - where does my answer "no" or "no, all wipes are irritating" fit? That's just a bad research practice.

Neutrogena Ultra Sheer Face Mist Sunscreen Spray SPF 50
- Non-greasy: I apply sunscreen at the end of my morning routine that includes a lot of hydration and boy does my skin looks shiny after applying this. I prefer my makeup more matte and natural hence it got re-assigned to my off-days. - Spray:... +
- Non-greasy: I apply sunscreen at the end of my morning routine that includes a lot of hydration and boy does my skin looks shiny after applying this. I prefer my makeup more matte and natural hence it got re-assigned to my off-days.
- Spray: personally I do not like mists/sprays that include oils / oil-like that will land on and mess up my hair and clothes, as well as create an oily film on my surroundings. As expected, after spraying, my (very thin) hair started looking greasy and limp around my face. Hence I will either spray it into my hand to use it (and think how nice a dropper would be instead), OR use it as a spray only when I really don't mind the collateral damage (e.g. beach).
Note: I'm not sure why the company creates a face spray and then ask people "Do not spray directly onto face. Spray on hands then apply to face." Just sounds counter-intuitive to me.
- Lightweight: it's rather lightweight and have not broken me out like other Neutrogena sunscreens (yet), but it's not one of the most (or top 3) lightweight sunscreens I have.
The survey asks whether "Did you find that NEUTROGENA Ultra Sheer Face Mist Sunscreen was more lightweight than your current sunscreen product?". The answer is no (not provided among the options where you can select only 'yes' or 'prefer not to answer') - that's fishing for approval.

Canada Dry Premium Tonic Water
It's a well balanced tonic water that goes smoothly both alone and as a drink ingredient! The glass bottle is very sleek and keeps the cool when it's hot. The taste is quite standard and does not stand out when compared to other tonic waters though.

Schmidt's Charcoal + Magnesium Natural Deodorant
It has a good unisex smell and last for the day, even after a good workout. It is soft on the skin too. I have noticed that sometimes the formula is not very consistent so small pieces tend to cling to the sides of the container when using it.

I usually am very picky about scented deodorants and choose neutrally-scented ones. However, this deodorant was a surprise: it's not sickly sweet as rose could be as it's balanced with black pepper (it seriously works, I cannot stop smelling it).
Also, it lasts really well for a natural deodorant. In my past experience I could wear the natural deodorant only when I would not do any strenuous activities; but this one lasts through everything.
Just love it!

This berry tea is perfect for a warm cuppa before bed or as a cold brew for swelling summer days. It's rather intense in its taste (but in a natural way, you cannot feel any artificial enhancers and flavourings) with a hint of chocolate? This twist got us confused in the beginning but now I keep reaching for this tea because of it! -

Stay away if you have a nose!
This cream has a terribly strong smell that reminds of some 90s perfumes. I cannot imagine putting it on my face and testing its efficacy as it managed to cause a terrible headache for me just by being patch tested on my hand and neck/ear area. And it doesn't go away, even with repeat washing of soap. Just no. I cannot figure why anyone in the world would think that this amount of perfume in a product is necessary or would make anyone feel good about themselves.

It's quite a nice antiperspirant that works for the night or half a day for a normal functioning human out here - I wouldn't put it on an extremely hot day or for a workout though. It's got some perfume but it isn't strong, reminds me of some old school soaps actually. -
