I received this for free as part of the Product Review Club. Removing makeup and dirt is a breeze with this micellar water. It's a very gentle formula but it's tough on even the heaviest of makeup. The only thing it didn't remove for me was waterproof mascara, but I use coconut oil for that, so I didn't mind so much. I used cotton pads, as directed, to wipe off the rest of my makeup and I didn't have to rub or struggle with removing it. It just came right off as I wiped. I kept doing this until I no longer saw any makeup on the pad. On average, I used 6 cotton pads to completely remove it all. My skin looked and felt so refreshed, hydrated and clean afterwards. There is a delicate scent to it, but it's hardly noticeable, making this gentle solution perfect for sensitive skin. I didn't break me out either, which is another plus for this product. This is just as good as more expensive micellar waters I've tried and I do want to continue purchasing it once I run out. Another amazing product from Nivea, and a brand I can really trust to do what it promises! -

I received this for free as part of the Product Review Club. This is a well thought out product, one that will multitask and make makeup application easier. As a moisturizer, it is hydrating and doesn't make my skin feel greasy afterwards. It goes on very smooth and absorbs well into my skin. The primer really helped in making my foundation look flawless and I didn't have any dry patches. It didn't break me out or clog my pores but gave my skin a soft finish. I also loved how sleek and chic the packaging looks. It makes me feel like the product is high end instead of a drugstore brand. I will definitely want to repurchase this when I run out. -

I received this for free as part of the Product Review Club. This is another great product from OxiClean. I used it as a leave-in treatment on heavier stains like spaghetti sauce, ink and cooking oil and would leave it to pre-treat for at least a few hours. The stains were completely gone after the wash. I tried it with both the cold and warm water cycles and it worked well for both. It also helped ring-around-the-collar disappear. The pump dispensed the product easily onto my clothes and I liked the foam texture, which I found it to be better than the spray varieties. This has been one of the best stain removers I've tried in a while! I found the best results were when I used it in conjunction with the OxiClean Colour Shield Stain Remover Powder. They pair very well together. -

I received this product for free as part of the Product Review Club. I was so glad to have been chosen to test this out. I'm a teacher and not a day goes by where my clothes are not stained with chalk marks, paint or the mysterious, chocolate pudding fingerprints that tugged on my shirt. Needless to say, my clothes are constantly in the wash and I have had to retire lots of them due to color fading because of constant washing. After trying OxiClean's Colour Shield on the same articles of clothing for multiple washes, not only did it remove stains easily and completely, but the colour of the fabric did not fade. I also noticed that my white clothes, especially the ones that had started to turn yellow, looked whiter after the very first wash. I can see this product helping me save lots of money in the long run since I won't need to update my wardrobe as much. The powder was easy to scoop and it didn't leave any residue on my clothes or in the machine either. This will continue to be part of my laundry routine for a long time to come! Very satisfied!! -

This nail polish line is great quality! The shades they offer are so pretty and there's a good variety to choose from. The polish applies very smoothly and the brush makes it easy for it to glide on the nail without too much effort in getting it to look perfect. I usually put on two coats and I find it doesn't take long for it to dry between each one. It's also very long lasting and I usually get a good 4-5 days of wear before I start to notice any chipping. I also love the shape of the bottle. It looks high end and fancy to me. I will definitely continue building my collection! -

I received this product for free to test out. I tried out the Mixed Berries flavour and found that it had just the right amount of sweetness to it. As I mixed the yogurt, I got a good distribution of berries, unlike some brands where all of the fruit stays on the bottom. This allowed me to get the same flavour with every spoonful. I also appreciated the addition of "supergrains", specifically quinoa, chia seeds and buckwheat. It gave a subtle bite and texture, but most importantly, made me feel like I was eating something healthy for my body. The portion size is perfect for snacking or as part of a meal and I enjoyed the way the cup fit comfortably in my hand, making it easy to consume. The only thing I might improve is the tangy aftertaste of the yogurt. I'm not sure if it was just my palate that noticed this, but I like my yogurt to be sweet, not tangy. Other than that, this was a very good snack! -

I received this product for free as part of the Product Review Club. I found these corn crackers to be very unique and satisfying. They really taste like grilled, corn tortillas would and are very crispy too. The cracker stands out for itself in terms of flavour. It's very lightly salted and you can add whichever topping you'd like to it. I tried mine with salsa and it made me feel as though I was eating Mexican food, which is great if you're trying to add some fun variety to your diet. The box comes with 8 individual packs of three crackers each, great for bringing to work or school as a snack. However, if they weren't packaged this way, I'm afraid you would have had a crumbly mess in the box. I found myself accidentally breaking the crackers while opening the package and since they are very thin, they are more prone to cracking in different pieces as you're taking a bite. Apart from this factor, I do appreciate that they are non-GMO, gluten free and contain only 4 ingredients. Very low in calories too! -

I received this product for free as part of the Product Review Club. In the past, I've gone through a number of different brands of protein powders and have often switched from one to the other because I couldn't handle the taste. I was so glad to learn that Boost's protein powder was flavourless. This allowed me to consume it more easily and it gave me the liberty of adding whichever flavour I wanted to it instead. I used it mainly in my smoothies and green juices and it dissolved rather well into the mixture. I also appreciated that they provided a little scooper which made it easy to measure out. The fact that this only has two ingredients, makes it a good choice in trying to eat a cleaner diet. Also, there's no added sugar or fat, which is great. Perfect for someone who is looking to supplement their diet with added protein in a convenient manner. -

I have fair skin with pink/red undertones and I sometimes have trouble finding a highlighter that won't look too golden, silvery or frosty for my skin tone. This is more of a champagne hue, which compliments my skin tone very well and gives a natural, luminous glow. I think it would also work well for those who have darker skin. You can definitely build upon the intensity but one swipe is enough for me. I like a subtle sheen, nothing too dramatic and this is quite a pigmented product. It's in a stick format which makes it easy to apply to cheekbones and browbones. Although it comes with a sponge-like applicator at the bottom, I find the best way to blend this in is with your fingers since it does have a creamy texture. It goes on very smoothly this way. The applicator didn't give me as much control as I needed. I do love the packaging and find it to be very sturdy and durable. Definitely one of my favourite highlighters! -
Germ-Out! Hand Sanitizer Gel
I found this brand of hand sanitizer at my local Dollarama. I am impressed with how much product you're getting for such a low price (i.e., 725 ml for $2.00). It contains 62% ethyl alchohol and claims to kill 99% of germs. This is a must have for me... +
I found this brand of hand sanitizer at my local Dollarama. I am impressed with how much product you're getting for such a low price (i.e., 725 ml for $2.00). It contains 62% ethyl alchohol and claims to kill 99% of germs. This is a must have for me since I work in a germ-infested environment and the huge format ensures that I don't need to run to the store every month to buy a new bottle. This usually lasts me 6 months to a year. The gel comes out thick but it quickly absorbs into your skin without leaving any sticky residue. At first, there's a light pleasant scent but it quickly disappears. I don't mind that, but if you like your hand sanitizer to leave behind a fresh scent, this one doesn't. What I would improve, however, is to provide a pump so that it's easier to get the gel out. Once the bottle is more than half empty, I flip it upside down so that the product settles to the cap and can easily come out. -
