I bought new work shoes that gave me a blister on the back of my heel and on the side of my foot under my pinky toe so these came at the perfect time.
I put a treatment on the heel blister and it stayed on for 3 days. When it came off it was almost healed and now I can wear the shoes without problem.

Coppertone Sunscreen Lotion Sensitive Skin Faces SPF 50
I wore this sunscreen during a race on June 20th. I was outside under overcast skies but this is usually when I forget to wear sunscreen and burn the worst. It worked wonders. I didn't burn. My skin wasn't oily and I didn't break out or get red.

I received the Vim Cream Cleanser as part of the Product Review Club. I love cleaning! I find it refreshing and relaxing, however, I don't have a lot of time to do it in. This product did not help because it wasn't effective or efficient.
You don't need a lot of this product to clean so I might have over done it the first time. I had to go over the cleaning area 3 or 4 times to get the residue off. The second time I tried just a light dab on a sponge and had to wipe down my counters a couple of times again to get the film off. So I'm pretty sure there's something weird about the film residue.
Overall I wasn't impressed with the product and wouldn't buy it on my own. The only positive thing I can think of is that I loved the lemon scent.

I received the Sapphire Siren and Copper Chic Palette's. I really like the copper one for everyday wear and have used it for work makeup every day. The Sapphire Siren is really bold and I will save these colours for a photo shoot or fitness competition makeup.
I like the quality of the powder. Sticks well if you use a primer. Lasts until around 4-5pm but definitely fades.
I don't like the application brush and have used my own to apply and blend. The blending is great with this product!

I didn't enjoy using this product. It left white marks easily on my shirts if I put it on before getting dressed. I found that it didn't work throughout the day and had to re-apply in the afternoon. My armpits did not look anymore visibly smoother than normal Dove anti-perspirant which I usually use.
I wouldn't recommend it.

My book club decided to read this book this month after having been sent a copy from one of my favourite blogs. Three girls showed up for our monthly meeting and we were left with so many questions. Even after printing out a suggested book club list of questions we kept coming up with more and more things left unanswered.
Overall, we found the book an ok read. Nothing spectacular and probably forgettable after another 10 books go through my brain.
The most positive thing is that the book inspired us all to want to find out more about Zimbabwe's history.

I've been using Boots No 7 Refine & Rewind Serum for a couple weeks now and love the feel of the serum on my skin. It goes on flawless. Does not require a lot of rubbing to absorb and feels weightless on my skin. Visibly smoothes my skins and seems to fill in small lines or pores that would stick out with no cream or makeup on. I actually don't need to apply any moisturizer on top as I use a primer before makeup application. Since I'm under 30 I can't judge the product on it's ability to correct aging lines/wrinkles.
The formula is hypo-allergenic which is great because it actually helps calm any irritation or redness that I might wake up with.
I received the product as a gift but did some research and it's available at Shoppers Drug Mart for $28. I think is a great price considering the bottle has a sizable amount. The packaging is a pump glass bottle which could be troublesome near the end of the container but I like the glass container. Gives it the higher end feel to the product.
Happy anti-aging!

I was lucky enough to try the Dove Deep Moisture Nourishing Body Wash. An extra long product title name definitely means I forgot what it was called several times.
The actual product was very effective. I have extremely dry skin, especially on my legs so I had to use an additional moisturizer after my shower but found the combination quite lovely. I wasn't a fan of the smell but it didn't turn me off. It was almost clinical and bland. I prefer fruity or soft vanilla scents. The foam on the loofah was great and a little bit definitely went a long way.
The packaging was fine. I prefer a bottle that stands up so that the product falls to the bottom. Since this moisturizing body wash was quite thick. It might prove a challenge to get the product out when it nears the end.

I got this item in a gift bag from a spa event @ Hammam Spa in King West (Toronto). The sample package got quite a lot of mileage. I was probably able to use 10-15 applications. I'd put a little bit on my lips every morning and noticed quite a difference.
I suffer from dry lips from being outside and tanning. The product returned my lips to smooth. Didn't notice any difference in terms of smoothing fine lines and wrinkles as I'm not worrying about that yet.

I've been using the Daily Microfoliant by Dermalogica for a while now. All in sample packages. I use it once a day at night time to get the grime of the day off. I put about 2 quarter sizes in my palm and rub slightly with water before apply to my face.
The product is a white power that you mix with a bit of water. If you mix too much water you won't get the scrubbing exfoliation on your face.
It leave me fresh faced and just clean before bedtime. Sometimes I'll spray their toner on after but usually just a night time moisturize and to dream land I go.
