These Nexcare™ Thin and Transparent Acne Patches are amazing! I have been using other brands, but after trying these, I think I will just stick to this brand. It's like all the issues all the other Acne Patches have, Nexcare™ has addressed them, especially the issue with peeling off the Patches from the plastic sheet, that was always a hassle for me because the Patches would always curl up and therefore not apply flat, which caused them to eventually fall off. I know removing them with tweezers helps, but I'm always in a hurry and my hands sometimes shake due to a medical condition, so that little red tab from the Nexcare™ Thin and Transparent Acne Patches, is the perfect upgrade! As for effectiveness, these patches do exactly what they advertise, they work just fine to absorb any gunk and oils from pimples, including underground pimples, because the excess oil gets absorbed fast and the area gets protected from dirt, therefore allowing this kind of very painful Acne to heal faster. I'm also impressed with how thin these are, I was never a fan of using Acne Patches during the day and outside because of how noticeable they were, but the Nexcare™ Thin and Transparent Acne Patches are almost invisible, though of course they turn white as the hours pass, but they are still my choice for using outside. I think my only recommendation would be to maybe have bigger sizes for these patches, sometimes underground pimples for example, tend to be larger, but other than that, the Nexcare™ Thin and Transparent Acne Patches are a must try! I would always recommend them!

I can't get over the amazing smell! I always appreciate a good body cream, but this is luxury! The texture is amazingly soft and hydrating, non greasy, or heavy, just pure bliss. I was actually expecting this cream to smell like almonds, but when you open that container, it really gives "beautiful lady living in a castle and taking a goat milk bath", but make it almond milk lol. I have tried many body creams and moisturizers, and there are only one or two I actually like, however, this one has to be my favourite now. I already use some products from L’Occitane (their shower oil is also to die for), but it never occurred to me to try this cream, but now I guess I'll be adding this to my shopping cart! It is in fact so rare for me to rave about a body moisturizer (I have issues with textures), but this is a product you should 100% try! As for moisturizing power, it's pretty good, not crazy strong, but I would say a staple to have around (see before and after pics) especially for a night of pampering, but using it every day after showering is most definitely the highlight of my day. I totally recommend this cream!

I already love PanOxyl products, but these blemish patches are a brilliant idea! I wish these existed back in the day though, like 20 years ago when hormonal acne was hitting me hard during my teenage years lol, every single acne product in the market back then was so harsh and we just accepted it, so I never really imagined there would be a product out there that could deal with the aftermath, which was all the scarring. This was equally annoying compared to the acne, though it wasn't painful, but the amount of makeup I always used to cover that up was surely not normal lol. I still get mild to moderate acne these days at my age, mostly hormonal, so it aligns with my cycle, plus the oily areas on my face don't help much either, however PanOxyl has always been a great help and these patches make sure to finish the job! They did work as advertised on a couple mild scars, but I feel that since I'm light brown, the scarring usually gets more intense, so blemishes take longer to heal, so I would say in my case it took a while longer for the patches to work, but they did help at least to accelerate healing. I recommend them for sure though, this didn't exist before and it's the best option to treat blemishes, it's not messy like creams and keeps the area clean and protected. We no longer have to cover up scars and blemishes with a ton of makeup, that more often than not, makes things way worse.

I was actually kinda scared of these pills at first, since they didn't have any coating and were not in capsule form. I thought they would hurt my stomach since it's basically a lot of cranberry juice, but I was very surprised after the first couple of weeks because my stomach wasn't irritated at all. Also, yes, they do work, I'm not sure if it's just me but I felt they were working from day one since I was having some uncomfortable symptoms that resembled a UTI and these pretty much went away after the first dose, though it could also be coincidence. I continued taking these pills for the next 4 weeks and I can't feel any signs of UTIs or symptoms related to them, which is amazing. I have used regular cranberry juice before and other kinds of supplements sporadically, but taking the Swiss Natural Cran-Max pills as a treatment has proven to be way more efficient. However, I still believe these pills should come in a capsule format as well or coated, because I find those kinds of pills easier to swallow, other than that I totally recommend this product! - I received this product for free in exchange for my honest review. -

I'm not sure why I thought this would be hard to figure out, but wow, it's actually super easy to use and efficient! The fact that it's handheld makes food storing less annoying, I mean I'm the kind of person who usually just throws leftovers inside regular sandwich bags and kinda leaves them everywhere in the fridge lol, since I'm always in a hurry, so yes, I sadly end up wasting some food by the end of the week, which is terrible, and the worse part might be that I actually have a bigger food vacuum from a different brand that a friend gifted me, but I never seem to find the time to put eveything together and dedicate a portion of my day putting food away that way, so after discovering this very small and practical handheld food vacuum sealer, I feel like my prayers have been heard, plus it's perfect for snacks!! Especially since I tend to munch on a few snacks here and there without finishing the entire bag and then I forget all about it, so my snacks end up either rock hard or soggy when I look for them again, which is a huge waste as well, I mean the bag where the snacks came in can only do so much to keep them fresh and as mentioned before, regular sandwich bags won't do the trick either over time. I would rather have these reusable bags and spend a few seconds at a time to seal my food! I also noticed that this device is compatible with a variety of FoodSaver storage products, so you bet I'm having a field trip choosing where to store my food next! I think this is an amazing version of food vacuum sealers, it's so small and easy to use and charges so fast! The only thing I regret is never hearing of this sooner, so if you have left overs all over the fridge or have a thing for snacking like a bird like I do lol, well this is something you need 100% !! Totally recommended!

Tylenol is usually my go-to for most kinds of pains, but I find it way more effective for headaches and migraines. However, I had never seen this kind with caffeine and it was certainly an interesting experience. There are times when tylenol makes me a bit sleepy, but I always assumed it was just my body relaxing after finally getting some pain relief, but the added caffeine sure makes a difference and gets rid of that sensation, which can be helpful while in the middle of work for example. Also, I felt like it was a bit more effective than regular tylenol, though the amount of caffeine per tablet is roughly the same amount you can find in a cup of coffee. I'm not a big coffee drinker (I drink tea with some caffeine content though), so maybe that's why I was able to notice the extra benefits to reduce the pain from the usual mild to moderate migraines I get some mornings. As for other kinds of pain, it was helpful in general, but I will always prefer Tylenol for headaches and migraines mostly AND a huge bonus is that it has never hurt my stomach, so I would definetly recommend Tylenol everytime - I received this product for free in exchange for my honest review. -

Is this really lip balm? I'm so impressed by this product right now, I have tried so many lip balms before and this is by far the most amazing one I have tried. I love tinted lip balms specially, I think every little girl out there grew up with one of those simple, yet super pigmented strawberry flavoured lip balms lol, but as an adult I always wondered if there was something similar in terms of pigmentation, but more nourishing and with the right texture for more mature lips. Well, it looks like I finally found it! This lip balm is like a hybrid between a sheer lipstick and a hydrating lip balm, the texture is so buttery, but without the obnoxious thickness or stickiness that is common in other products, so yes! I was able to use it during the summer heat and it was still very comfortable (if you have issues with textures, you know what I'm talking abou, lol). It also has the right amount of pigment, similar to a sheer lipstick but with some very nice hydration, so it even felt like my lips stayed plumped for hours. I think this is the perfect lip balm for daily activities, like running errands during the day or shopping AND it actually smells like candy!, though it's very subtle. I would totally recommend this lip balm, so go ahead and treat yourself, that's how comfortable and nourishing this lip balm feels. I also think the shade 3B was gorgeous if you need a shade recommendation, but all the other shades are quite nice too. I received this product for free, in exchange for my honest review. -

I was never a fan of mouthwash to be honest, my gums (and teeth) seem to be quite sensitive and I always felt like mouthwash was burning it all. However, I still used it for hygiene purposes of course, just not as frequently as I should, though all that changed a few months ago when I discovered the alcohol free versions of Listerine, I have been using the Cool Mint one and it's been such a wonderful experience, though, it still felt a bit strong for me, but it was way better than regular mouthwash. Then, I got this Total Care version to try and I'm sold, it's so mild and gentle! I think I will now settle for this one, besides, purple/pink is my favourite colour anyway lol. As for effectiveness, this mouthwash works just like any other regular Listernine mouthwash, my mouth feels clean, refreshed and my teeth get the protection they need. Oh and of course I get great breath! but all without the burning feeling! I'm so glad alcohol free versions exist honestly and Listerine has always been one of my go-to brands, so yes, I would 100% recommend this product! - I received this product for free, in exchange for my honest review. -

Wow! This blush is super pigmented! Only a few dots are needed for a perfect application and the finish is super silky and comfortable. I have tried a few liquid blushes before, but this Luminous Silk Cheek Tint is something else, and compared to the compact cream blushes, this is far superior, way easier to blend and won't dry inside the container, then, in comparison to cream and BB cream blushes, this one still comes on top for staying power (almost all day). However, I noticed that this blush dries on the skin a bit too fast and that's the only thing I wasn't very excited about, but other than that, this product is of amazing quality, you can barely feel it on your skin, it's long lasting, silky, pigmented, and applies beautifully without any issues. I would 100% recommend it! - I received this item for free, in exchange for my honest review. -

I actually had no idea there were bug bite patches out there! This is a great idea for those of us who are literally magnets for mosquitoes lol, now I can carry these patches around instead of messy creams. It's also a super hygienic option, because I always hated rubbing my fingers on the cream tubes and potentially contaminating the container for future use. Also, these patches don't sting and stick to the skin quite well without leaving any glue residue or hurting when removing them. I love that it's all natural ingredients as well, I mean the mosquito bites will of course go away on their own, but these patches help a lot with the itchiness and irritation, which can prevent infection and promote faster healing. I'm one of those people who can't leave mosquito bites alone lol, so I have gotten the area infected before. I guess my only recommendation would be to make these patches a bit more easy to peel, maybe they are too thin? But other than that, I love the concept of a patch and would definetly start carrying these in my purse! I totally recommend this product! - I received this product for free, in exchange for my honest review. -
