This is the most lightweight sunscreen I’ve ever used, it is like a very watery gel. It is just as effective as other sunscreens but carries the benefit of being non-greasy, lightweight and it doesn’t streak. It doesn’t clog your pores, leaves your skin feeling hydrated and is effective not only longevity-wise but in the water as well. And it smells very mild, much milder than most of those thick greasy white creams out there. -
NEUTROGENA® Hydro Boost Hand Gel Cream

I must say I didn’t have much faith in a gel-based hand cream. I don’t like gels in general (eg. antiperspirant) but this is different. The gel felt more light, water-based than the heavier stuff I think of when I think of a gel so it was not greasy. And it doesn’t cake/crust at the lid. A little goes an incredibly long way and it soaks in fast, leaving your skin not only hydrated but for a lasting period of time. To me it smelled light, if not odourless, which I appreciated. I was very impressed with this product! -

I’ve used other Nutrogena wipes and although I’ve loved them these are my new favourite. These wipes have a good, quality thickness to them. They’re soft yet effective in removing your makeup, even waterproof makeup. No stinging when used over the eyes. The scent is quite light. I love the packaging because you can just toss one in an overnight bag, it uses up such little space and guarantees it won’t dry out. And best of all because it’s a Neutrogena product I can trust the ingredients and I know it’s good for my skin! -

I’ve been cleansing with micellar water and now Ive found a product that incorporates makeup remover into it, eliminating the need to use 2 separate products so the convenience factor alone is a big win for me! Moreover, it is quite effective. Only a small amount is needed so the bottle will last a *long* time. It lathers quite well and feels really creamy when you’re rubbing it into your skin, leaving it feeling soft and supple once you’ve rinsed it off. -
Aveeno Positively Radiant MaxGlow Serum & Primer

This product absorbs and “dries” very quickly, I can put my makeup on right away. It’s the perfect level of moisture for my skin, leaves it feeling soft and supple, dry. And unlike other serums or primers it’s very light and not sticky. It’s a little too watery though it’s not that bothers all that much. My only real complaint is the bottle, because it’s thin like water I don’t like having to shake it out like ketchup. I think it’s designed to only dispense a tiny amount though because that’s all you need, which is great because not only are you not caking tons of product on your face but the bottle will last a long, long time! I love the fact it’s a 2-for-1 product because it saves time, is less clutter and overall makes things easier! -

First and foremost the packaging does this product a great disservice! Everyone I’ve shared my Takis with has said the same thing: based on the packaging they wouldn’t buy them. Never having heard of Takis before, I got the “Crunchy Fajitas” flavour but couldn’t tell what “mild” meant - the package reads that it’s mild, yet there’s a red hot chili pepper nestled amongst the chips in the picture which I found confusing. It also struck me how the chips appear completely covered in a red powder that looks unpalatable, moreover, it looks like it’d leave a mess on (and likely stain) your fingers. Overall the bag itself looks like something you’d find in a dollar store (though reminiscent of snacks sold in Mexico as well). When I opened the bag, to my relief they weren’t coated with powder - and they tasted great! When I tried the first one I noted that it had a real Mexican flavour so I checked the packaging and sure enough it’s a product of Mexico! There are similar snacks out there taste good too but lack the authenticity you can taste in Takis. And they lack the unique flavour - they’re tasty enough to enjoy on their own but they’re also perfect for dips: they can uphold the lightest of dips without overpowering them, yet they’re sturdy enough to withstand the heaviest ones. So many unique ways to enjoy them - I can’t wait to try another flavour - as soon as I find it, “Angry Burger”, here I come! -

Rarely do I give a 5 star review but I love this stuff! I find most moisturizers slightly greasy, even the ones most people say aren’t greasy, and this is one of the few creams that does an effective job at moisturizing without leaving a greasy feeling. It moisturizes effectively and its effects are long lasting. It’s suitable as both a hand/body cream and a face cream. It has a nice, very light scent. And I LOVE the container, it makes it so easy to scoop out the cream and it’ll be easy to get to the bottom! -

This product doesn’t remove a full face of makeup though it doesn’t advertise itself as a makeup remover, rather, a cleansing water and in that regards it does an excellent job, it most certainly lives up to its name and doesn’t fail to disappoint. If you’ve only got light/no makeup on it does an excellent job of cleansing the face whilst leaving your skin feeling soft & moisturized. I’d even use it after a heavy makeup remover to get rid of that oily residue because this stuff also leaves your skin feeling refreshed. As a general cleanser it is an excellent product! -

Results were discouraging until I realized I was expecting too much - I’m used to products that yield dramatic results in a short amount of time, which are most things nowadays. If you want to get the most out of this product, hold realistic expectations and prepare to be incredibly patient (you don’t realize how slowly your hair grows until you start analyzing it on a daily basis!).
I have noticed is a subtle amount of new growth, soft & fine, particularly where I part my hair and along the hairline close to it. Since it’s only been a few months the downy wisps are short which makes it hard to visualize.. They’re too hard to spot elsewhere on my head and it will take well over a year before I’m able to see them. I’m hoping that as they grow they go from fine & downy to a more substantial hair thickness.
I used it on my colour-treated hair and it was fine. Choosing foam for a delivery format is most brilliant! It was incredibly easy to use and I was able to apply it with precision, as directed. It’s a little pricey but if it continues to work as it has been, then it will be well worth the money. Unfortunately it’s too early to firmly rate it’s efficacy and value. I’m going to use it for a year to better evaluate it.

This was a nice mask. It was light & thin, gentle to the skin, yet exfoliated well. It applied easily and dried quickly. Its scent is so light it’s barely detectable (which I didn’t mind). I could tell it was working because it caused a tingling & cooling sensation. I was able to remove it quite easily and found it left my skin feeling smoother, softer, more supple. Its effect is on par with other exfoliating masks in its category however this one is made with all-natural, excellent quality ingredients and is of superior quality so it ranks high in my books. That said, although I do expect to pay more for high quality, I feel this product is a little overpriced. -
