I’ve been using the Nexcare™ Thin & Transparent Acne Patches by Nexcare Brand and it’s been great! First off, I’m impressed by how immediately the patch disappears when I press it into my skin. The patches being so thin and completely see-through allows me to wear them while out and about without anyone noticing; it’s nice to be able improve my skin throughout the day too instead of only at night! The application of the patch is super quick and easy too, with a red tab attached to each individual one so that you can easily remove it from the sheet and apply it to your face without it sticking to your fingers instead. An extra bonus with covering your blemishes with something physical like this means you have an actual barrier preventing you from picking at your spots, which is by far my worst habit. This means my zit can heal in peace without scarring while its oil is absorbed away by the patch!

The L’Occitane Almond Milk Concentrate has made my self-care nights so complete! The texture is silky and heavy at the same time and does the perfect job of nourishing my dry skin. The scent is so good too; it smells like almonds and vanilla, and I love how that scent lingers on my skin! I slather this cream across my entire body after every shower for some much needed hydration and the difference before and after I started using this is very apparent. My skin feels so much smoother and softer to the touch from using this! I also love how luxurious the glass container feels; I’m definitely planning on reusing the bottle after finishing the cream. They actually sell bags of the cream to refill the bottle which is perfect!

What’s a better way to start a Sunday morning than with a nice cup of coffee? I’ve been drinking Crank Coffee’s Morning Glory brew and it hits the spot for sure! That perfect crema on top is the testament to how fresh these beans are. This one is a blend of medium and dark roast for a more balanced cup; it’s a little heavier than your typical medium roast, and a little more acidic than your typical dark roast. I’ll enjoy it black or add a splash of milk and sugar when I’m craving some sweetness, it’s great either way! The notes of roasted nuts and black pepper shine through without overt bitterness. An additional bonus to the coffee’s smooth flavour and inviting aroma is that it’s certified Fairtrade, which means its farmers receive a better environment and fairer price!

Warmer weather is bringing my only downside to summer: mosquitoes and their terrible bites! I was really eager to try Sarna’s bug bite patches to help ease the itch. I have such a problem with scratching my bites until I make myself bleed! The first bonus these patches have brought me is that they prevent me from being able to pick at them like that, allowing my bites to heal a lot better and faster. The second is that they contain soothing ingredients such as chamomile and aloe which bring an immediate sense of relief to the uncomfortable bites. The product comes in small sheets of patches that you can just peel off from like a sticker, making it super easy to throw in a backpack or pocket for hikes and other outdoor activities. This one is definitely going to make for a better summer! This product was sent to me for free in exchange for an honest review. -

This lip balm has no fragrance, which is perfect for those sensitive to smells! The balm itself feels smooth and creamy, and leaves my lips looking shiny and soft. There is no stickiness or any other unwanted residue leftover, just the feeling of some good hydration! I love that these contain squalane, an ingredient that comes from our skin’s natural oils, and multiple types of ceramides to really lock that moisture in.

The texture of this lipstick is so buttery smooth that it glides across my lips with ease. It’s not drying at all! I find the colour to be easily buildable, so I can go over my lips in multiple layers when I want a stronger look. Shade 44 is very light and a true baby soft pink. This is close to my natural lip shade, so it’s great when I want a subtle look; it adds a beautiful shine and the smallest improvement of your lip colour that will have people thinking you were born with the prettiest pink lips!

I think, as a nighttime moisturizer, this is more suited for someone with oily skin. As someone with dry skin, I prefer to use it as a hydrating layer in the daytime, and then at night I switch to a heavier moisturizing lotion. It definitely does not feel heavy on the face at all, and I haven’t had any problems with clogged pores while using this. It absorbs quickly into the skin which is always nice! I love that it’s a minimal ingredient list and there’s no unnecessary added fragrance. Overall, it’s a nice moisturizer, but definitely more intended for oily skin.

This is a really great exfoliant! It’s so satisfying to swipe away my dead skin cells with this on a cotton pad. The ingredients in it make my skin very happy; there’s no added fragrance, no drying alcohols, and no fungal acne triggers. The salicylic acid in it has been helping clear out my face, and the chamomile flower extract in it has been keeping my skin soothed. I love an exfoliant that can do its job without irritating my skin, and this fits that bill for sure!

This moisturizer has a grainy texture I don’t love when I squeeze it out, but it still blends into the skin nicely without leaving a noticeable white cast on my face. It doesn’t feel oily or heavy whatsoever! I have no trouble with applying foundation and other makeup on top of it. There is no added fragrance which is always appreciated as someone with skin who can get irritated from that. Overall, it’s a great sunscreen option that’s nicely lightweight!

I love the texture of this cleanser! It’s creamy and a little thick, similar to how a moisturizing lotion feels. I was a little nervous it would be overly stripping on my dry skin since it’s an acne wash, but my face actually didn’t feel dried out at all after using it! I really do feel like the benzoyl peroxide in it is helping to keep my skin clear of acne. When I use it, I like to leave it on for a few minutes before completely rinsing it off, just to give that active ingredient some time to work on my skin first. Overall, I really love the way it targets breakouts without drying the skin out. I also appreciate it not having added fragrance in the ingredients; that really helps stop my skin from getting irritated!
