A very gentle cleanser that I have been using religiously for the last few weeks. I found it wasn’t abrasive, my skin did not feel overly tight (alcohol free) and it did absorb some of my oiliness.
It had a great scent like the corrective treatment and scent is a big big thing for me, it can determine if I buy or don’t buy.
This would definitely be added to my daily cleansing ritual. It had a nice foam and I felt like I was actually cleaning my skin. My skin did appear to have a less red tone and my skin has been pretty clear this last week. So it’s a GO for me, I would buy again.

It smelled great and I wish that equated to effectiveness
I tried it for a few weeks and it caused more pimples than it blocked. I had very very very high expectations of Vichy and the Corrective Anti Acne Treatment 24H Hydrating Lotion and it is a definite no for me.
I’m thinking not enough Salicylic Acid to help or treat the pimples or impending pimples. My skin tends to break out at various times of the year and at certain times of the month, I found my skin was moisturized but it made the slight acne I do have, worse.
To end on a positive note,I loved the scent, can we get that bottled Vichy?

I love a good smoothie and I love them even more when they are not overpriced, not overly sugary and taste REALLY GOOD!
McDonald's has their ongoing summer drink/smoothie deals right now, pretty good, a small $2 smoothie (mine looked like a medium) and it filled me up, tasted great and it cost me a toonie :)
McDonald's smoothie's are far superior to it's Canadian cousin Timmy Horton. Tim Horton's could learn a thing or two about smoothie making from Micky Dee's.
My two cents--If you need a pick me up, go for the McDonald's smoothie, cost effective (toonie), tastes great and they have a nice little range of options .

FANTASTIC!
I am a huge fan of meal replacement bars and was excited to try the Adrien Gagnon Decadent Fudge Nutriforme Bars.
They were flavourful, had a nice density to them and not over sugared (which is the point). I appreciated the fact that I was getting my protein, my choco craving was met and I wasn't having a heavy breakfast or snack. Sure you can grab a standard granola bar/treat, but you know and I know you are not getting the nutrients your body needs and wants. I am going to buy some more as these were genuinely the best meal replacement bars I have ever tried. Not to sound over dramatic, but they were!
Protein is what you need to keep your body going, especially in the am and early afternoon. I much prefer this option to a bowl of cereal, toast, etc. 270 calories, pretty average and packed with protein.

I was ready and high hopes for the Super Energex, but alas I was let down.
Instead of providing me with a boost of energy, it did the exact opposite, it made me lethargic and beyond tired. I had my mother and a friend of mine try it just to see if it was me; they had the same reaction.
We all tried with some OJ and no energy was to be had. I think it has great packaging, it really drew me in, the little capsules made me feel I was about to do something really positive for myself. That is as positive as I can be about this product.
I am sure we all react differently to products, in my case it did not provide additional energy.

Who has not had a romantic night in with this dream of a cake! Everyone I have ever known,yes everyone, has had one of the McCain Deep and Delicious cakes. In my twenties it was club,drinks,come home and CAKE!
God bless the individual(s) who came up with this sweet sweet recipe, my tummy thanks you!
If you can't tell, I love the McCain cakes, I have yet to meet a person who doesn't. The cake is light and moist and the whipped frosting on top is to die for.
Go BUY one now, I'm going to, craving one now :p

For me it's a no go, I had a small reaction and a small light rash under my skin after using the SIMPLE Replenishing Rich Moisturizer.
It is a great price, it did hydrate my fact, but for some reason I had a reaction to the product.
The only reason I would not recommend is based on my own personal reaction to the product.

Is it me or are all Micellar Cleansing Water products the same?
I recently tried another Micellar Cleansing Water, it worked great, just as the SIMPLE Micellar Cleansing Water did.
It removed all the gunk from my face like a charm, and for me it removed my mascara better than the SIMPLE Micellar wipes.
The great advantage that the SIMPLE brand has----) it's price point. Great products at a great price.
I would recommend SIMPLE Micellar Cleansing water, but keep in mind most of these Cleansing Water's all seem very similar.

Simple Micellar Make-Up Remover Wipes

I love being able to try out facial product lines. The Simple line of facial products have basic packaging, are priced at a lower price point and the best part, they do the job! I am chronic for not removing my makeup, I am so guilty! These came just in time to help me help my face.
I love the wipes as a travel option, or I just got home at 2am and can barely function, but still need to cleanse my money maker.
I used the wipes 4 out of 7 days this week and they worked really well at removing my lip liner, eyeliner, etc. I had more of a tough time removing my mascara with these wipes, it's not a complaint, more of an observation.
I think it's essential to remove your makeup ladies, you really can clogs your pores and it can create pimples, trust me from someone who never learns her lesson.
In summary, the SIMPLE Micellar wipes do work well, no scent, and your face does feel cleaner. The price point as mentioned is great and I would highly recommend.

Fresh & Clean are how my teeth feel! I love a good toothpaste and one that actually works and doesn't make me feel like I have candy in my mouth. I like the fact that it didn't have a grainy sensation as some toothpastes do. My teeth felt squeaky clean and it did leave me with a fresh taste.
I am particular with toothpaste texture and taste and I have tried Arm and Hammer before and I have been so so with their products. Arm and Hammer needs to pat itself on the back with the Truly Radiant Fresh and Clean. Great product, helped a little in the whitening department-I'm a coffee drinker so I did not have huge expectations. It is certainly worth a try and the pricing certainly beats out the main brands out in the market.
