I was pleasantly surprised with these bars. I was not really sure what to expect from these, but I definitely did not think I would end up enjoying eating them and not regret it after! They are very decadent and will definitely satisfy your sweet tooth if you are craving something that is a cross between chocolate and fudge.
I typically bring these to work when I have a shift that is between a meal time and will eat one of these of replace one meal for the day. They did a very good job at keeping me full until my next meal. I have not tried replacing two meals with these bars yet, but I think as long as you do not have a very strenuous day, these could do a fairly good job at that. However, I wish the protein was just a little bit higher and the price point lower. Otherwise, I would definitely buy more of these in the future! For now, I think I'll just stick to my protein bars that are a little more macro friendly.

This is my all-time favourite lip balm! I rave about this product to literally everyone. It feels very soothing to the lips, has SPF, and moisturizes extremely well. This is the only lip balm I consistently buy because it's cheap, available everywhere, and has everything you need and want in a lip balm! I have tried many, many lip balms but nothing compares to this one. -

I was pleasantly surprised by the effectiveness of this product. I have tried wax strips in the past, and pretty much gave up on them because they never seem to remove hair effectively. I always have to blow dry them before applying them because they would never really adhere to my skin, and therefore hair, really well. I was a bit skeptical with this product and its claim that there is no rubbing or warming required. However, when I tried this on my upper lip, it really lived up to its claim and even removed the very short hairs on my upper lip. This is such an easy, mess-free method to remove facial and bikini hair. So glad I tried this out! Now, I have renewed faith in ready-to-use cold wax strips. I have only tried this on fine facial hair, so I am unsure whether this product would work for very coarse hair. I would definitely recommend this to anyone who wants an easy way to remove facial or bikini hair. They are also very travel-friendly and great to take on vacations!

I have nothing but love for this product! This is my new favorite dry shampoo and after using this, I can't see myself using anything but this from now on. I have used other dry shampoos with a brown tint to it, but this one is very true to color, is very saturated, and stays dark, which is uber important for dark haired gals like me. Long gone are those days when you fear you might have a greyish tint to your hair from dry shampoo!
I barely ever wash my hair (sounds gross, but not with this product and also makes me the perfect reviewer) and with this, I can afford not to. My roommate has commented so many times that my hair still looks amazing a week and a half later and would never be able to tell that I have gone without washing my hair for that long. This dry shampoo absorbs all the grease in my hair, deposits a dark brown tint, and smells refreshing. Literally all I need in a dry shampoo.
I spray the dry shampoo pretty far from my head, let it settle for a bit, massage it in, and then brush it out. Once you massage the dry shampoo in your hair, it does make your hands all brown and also if you scratch your head, but such a small price to pay for this revolutionary product! If you have dark hair and don't wash your hair often or just want to freshen it, try it, you will LOVE it like I did!

Garnier SkinActive Micellar Water All-In-1 Normal and Sensitive Skin Cleansing Water

The thing I love most about micellar waters is that you do not have to rinse off after applying it. It makes taking makeup off so easy and hassle-free. This micellar water from Garnier is no exception! The value for the price is excellent, especially considering the size of the bottle. In terms of effectiveness, it works well; however, I find that no matter what brand the micellar water is, it does not fully remove 100% of all makeup if you're wearing full makeup. It does remove simple eye makeup and sheer to medium coverage face makeup, but when I wear full coverage makeup along with other waterproof items, I tend to use this first and then either remove the rest of my makeup with a cold cream or cleansing oil. Overall, this item is very gentle (did not irritate my face at all) and works very well if you are just cleansing your face from a gentle application of makeup.

I mostly used gel moisturizers now as my skin has changed over the years from dry to combination. I also get tiny milia under my eyes and on eyelids so I tend to avoid creams and anything somewhat heavy, except on extremely dry patches. I find that some gel moisturizers can leave a sticky residue on top of the skin. This moisturizer glided on very easily onto my skin and smelled fresh as well. I found that it did feel somewhat sticky compared to other moisturizers; perhaps this one hydrates better. However, I tried this for several days and I found that after several hours of applying this moisturizer, my skin got stickier throughout the day. It did not give me a velvety texture that other moisturizers do, so that was a little disappointing. I will still continue to use this product on drier days and recommend this to anyone with dry to combination skin. Oily skin can still use this as it is still lighter than creams; however, just be wary it will feel a little sticky- but nothing blotting tissues can't fix!

I used to be so wary of face oils and using them never appealed to me, but I decided to give this a try and now I'm a huge advocate for it! I have combination skin and surprisingly, this did not make my face oily nor did it break me out. I use a dime size amount after washing and toning my face. In the morning, my face feels supple and hydrated. No sign of any oil whatsoever! So Happy I gave this a try and will definitely recommend it to anyone who wants hydration at night. This will last a while as well since you only need to use such a small amount, as it is an oil. The only thing that put me off a little was the scent. It smelled like daisies but it was weird and off putting. It is not bad enough to make me stop using the product, and I just don't put it near my nose or I layer another lotion near the nose area to diffuse the smell. That's just me though and this does not affect the effectiveness of the product in any way; some might actually like the floral scent.

This product has helped me develop a new love for face oils. When I first saw this product, I thought the container was quite small and I would probably go through it pretty fast but au contraire, this bad boy will last me pretty long. Since it is an oil, you do not need to use lot at all. I use about a dime to quarter size amount, depending on how much makeup I have on my face. The first time I had a full face of makeup and this face oil did a pretty good job at removing most of it. I found that with more makeup, you have to use more oil and more water. Put the oil on, lather it up with water, and the oil and water will combine to emulsify. I loved that part, because it meant no mess! I usually use cold cream to remove my makeup and found the process to be quite tedious as I had to wipe off the cold cream with a tissue and then use face wash after as it was greasy from the cold cream. However, with this face oil, I could skip all those steps and have a clean face just from mixing water with the oil. It did not make my face oily at all and was very gentle. Just remember to lather with more water for a thorough cleanse. The price is unbeatable as well since you can get so many uses out of this bottle. I would definitely buy it again and recommend to all my friends who want a simple, yet effective way of removing makeup or even just cleaning their faces! -

I love all things coconut and tropical, so naturally, I love the scent of this dry shampoo. It smells very refreshing and makes your hair feel and smell clean. I have used other brands of dry shampoo, such as Dove, where the scent is so overpowering that it gives you a headache. This does not do that at all! Also, as long as you massage the product in and brush out your hair, it does not leave any residue (even if you don't part your hair completely!). This is definitely my favourite dry shampoo, in terms of price and effectiveness. However, some Shoppers Drug Mart stores don't always carry this particular scent for some reason, so that is a bummer. -

I really wanted to like this flavour as I usually love cherry-flavoured things but I'm still partial to it. I expected the bar to be more tart, just going by the name, but it was a little too sweet for my liking. When I shared it with my friends, they thought the sweetness was perfect and liked this flavour the best. Perhaps I like more subtle flavours in chocolate. I usually like really sweet things too so I was surprised by my reaction. Maybe my taste buds were off. Either way, I could see myself purchasing this either for myself so I can try it again or for my friends, since they all seemed to like this very much.
