I was really excited to try this product as I love both mango and coconut! When I tried it, I really enjoyed the chocolate bar but could not really taste the coconut flavour. The mango flavour was more prominent, which is fine since I love mango too! It has more of a tangy flavour compared to the other flavours, but still sweet enough to satisfy my sweet tooth. The flavour went really well with the dark chocolate and I also appreciated the slight crunchy texture. I shared this with my friends, and they really enjoyed this as well.

I still can't believe this is a dark chocolate bar! I have not been a total dark chocolate convert yet, because they are usually far too bitter for me and that just takes the pleasure away from eating chocolate. However, a Brookside manages to make a dark chocolate bar that satisfies my chocolate cravings and is healthier than most! I usually buy Brookside's dark chocolate soft fruit flavoured centres in açai and blueberry flavours so I am familiar with their products. This was definitely different than those and had a more subtle blueberry flavour. I loved the almond pieces in the bar; they tasted almost like nougat pieces and created a wonderful texture. I have no self-control so I ate half a bar in one sitting! It was that good! Plus, the packaging is very well put together and makes me feel like I am eating quality chocolate. This is definitely my favorite flavour from the three flavours they have in the bars.

This foot file was very effective in removing dead skin cells. I liked that I did not have to manually do much, since it is electronic. It definitely simplified dead skin removal. At first I thought it didn't do anything since it was so gentle, but the dead skin residue told me otherwise! It also wasn't too loud so that is a plus. My feet definitely felt smoother, even just after one use. After my dad saw me using it, he was so impressed at how fast and effective it was, that he wanted one too!

I have never been a frequent user of serums. I know they add the extra kick and makes your moisturizers more effective, but I have never added it to my skin care routine. This was a great time to start, since my skin was especially dry after not putting on face cream for a good two weeks.
The texture was typical of any other serum- more oily than creamy. I could tell that it was very hydrating as I felt like I didn't even really need to put on cream after putting the serum on. I felt that it was a great add-on to skincare routine as it helped my night cream to bind on to my skin more. I don't know if I will purchase it in the future, unless my skin was extremely dry again. Usually, my skin is hydrated enough with just a cream. However, I would definitely recommend it to anyone whose skin is dehydrated or just to replenish the moisture in your skin.

Before I used this, I actually just came back on a 2-week road tour. I forgot my face creams and had to either use my moisturizer with sun screen or hotel moisturizers. My face was so dry at the end of the 2 weeks, I thought it would peel right off! Needless to say, I was super excited to try this out since I really needed the added hydration. This cream was very rich, yet it was not greasy. The fragrance was very light as well, so it did not trigger my allergies. I liked this better than other night creams, because while it did hydrate my skin overnight, it did not feel heavy on my skin. Also, when I woke up the next morning, I could still feel that it hydrated my skin. Most of it absorbed into my skin, but when I washed my face in the morning, I still felt that some of the cream was coming off. Overall, this is a great product for night time and I would definitely recommend it to anyone who needs some hydration, especially at night! -

I really wanted to like this product, but unfortunately, it just wasn't for me. It claims to give a radian smile in 5 days, but I did not notice any difference, compared to other toothpastes. I also did not like the baking soda taste, as Arm & Hammer has that as an active ingredient. I love minty toothpastes and this did not make my mouth feel fresh. I also like gel toothpastes more, so I did not like the texture of this one. If I had nothing else to use, I would probably use this but with so many other alternatives, this didn't cut it.

I was so excited to try this wax; however, my hair was still too short to effectively wax any area so I asked my sister to review it instead (see below for her review). Nonetheless, I still tried it. The first thing I noticed was how delicious it smelled; it is exactly like a candy apple! Also, there were a lot of wax strips included. Since they're also washable, there should not be a shortage of strips for a while. That was a big plus for me. I love the washable concept. Speaking of washable, this wax is no mess, no fuss! If you put hot water on anywhere the wax it, it will literally melt and evaporate.
My sister consistently waxes body hair. Here is what she had to say about this Nair wax:
Product performance:
− Very easy to use and clean up
− Effective on medium hair
− Doesn’t actually work on short hair
− Very delicious fragrance (I wanted to eat it!)
− Liked that you could wash it off with warm water
Comparison to other products:
− Doesn’t irritate skin as much as other products
− Compared to my usual wax, this one doesn’t take off 100% of the hair while the other one does
− This one is much easier to deal with than the other ones, in terms of clean up
Recommendation:
− I would purchase this again
− I would recommend it to people who have thin/medium hair, not for coarse hair

I am normally not a regular mouthwash user as I just haven't gotten to developing that habit, although I really should! I used to use mouthwashes regularly though when I had my tongue pierced, so the alcohol-free ones were my best friend!
The first thing I looked for was whether this mouthwash was alcohol-free and good news, it is! It also has a nice, minty taste. It didn't burn at all, and only after the 30 second mark, did it slightly tingle. As with all mouthwashes, you should wait 30 minutes before consuming any food or drinks, so I just use it at night and leaves my mouth fresh!
As for the packaging, the plastic is very durable and the shape is quite nice :) however, is not child-resistant (you do not need to squeeze it first, in order to open it). This wasn't an issue for me and I actually like the cap better this way, but I was just surprised as many have the child-resistant feature. I also use the cap as a guide as to how much to use... I pour up to the line.
I feel that this Crest mouthwash is comparable to the Oral-B one that I sometimes use, but I do like one a little better. The ultimate deciding factor will be which one is on sale for a better deal! ;)

I think toothbrushes are extremely important in dental hygiene. I switched over to electronic toothbrushes a long time ago and only use manual toothbrushes on vacations or short-term trips. I was skeptical as to how this would perform compared to my electronic toothbrush and other manual toothbrushes since I believe the manual ones are all the same.
The other manual one I was using prior was a Sensodyne toothbrush. Currently, I am using a Oral-B electronic toothbrush with a built-in two minute timer. When I first used this toothbrush, I realized how big it was. The other toothbrushes I've been using are at least half the size so it was quite a different experience! The toothbrush was incredibly soft and it really felt like a massage!
Unfortunately, I still love my electronic toothbrush better as I feel like it cleans more effectively plus I love the timer, BUT if I was in the market for a manual toothbrush, I would definitely choose this one!

I normally use Sensodyne whitening gel toothpaste; however, any gel ones usually appeal to me. This particular Crest toothpaste also has a gel consistency so I was excited to try it. The toothpaste has a green colour with tiny beads, almost like facial exfoliating beads. It was very fresh and left my mouth feeling clean. Consequently, the beads in the toothpaste really exfoliated my mouth and I had a lot of those slimy, dead skin cells after. It sounds gross but I guess it must be doing its job!
Another thing to note is I really like how the cap doesn't come right off so you don't have to worry about twisting it back on. The cap is attached to the toothpaste itself and snaps on.
While this toothpaste met its claims and performed well, I still like Sensodyne better only because it doesn't give me the slimy after-effect like this one did.
