So happy I got to test out a week’s worth of Clarins Double Serum sample sachets! This is my mum’s favourite serum, and now I can see why! The product is actually composed of two separate formulas, a non-greasy oil and
melting gel, from two different vials that you mix together before application. They blend and absorb into the skin very well. After a couple days of applying it at night my skin looks and feels so soft, silky, and smooth. I have that ‘lit from within’ radiant glowy look to my face. My complexion definitely looks brighter. Nice scent too - serum is very fragrant but not too overpowering. Caveat: I don’t think a 7-day sample is enough time to see any dramatic anti-ageing results myself. But my mum has amazing skin and she says it is due to using Double Serum consistently, so I can’t wait to see the effects after longer use. I definitely plan to purchase a bottle of my own now.

Irish Spring’s Mountain Chill Moisturizing Face and Body Wash is a fantastic dual cleanser! First off, the scent is so refreshing. The Arctic -Pine and Mint fragrance really smells like a wintery mountain forest breeze. Perfect for that early wake-me-up morning shower. And the gel is such a stunning blue colour, like an icy arctic pool. What I love most is how well it lathers in the shower - you don’t need much product to bubble up on a loofa and cover your entire body head-to-toe. And it’s definitely hydrating - my skin feels smooth and soft after use, like I don’t need to apply lotion afterwards. I love it, this one’s a keeper and I absolutely recommend. -

Cleansing oil has never been my wheelhouse; usually I’m a gel/foam kinda gal. This product is a very luxurious way to cleanse one’s face. This oil is moisturizing and removes makeup quite well. I found it a tad difficult to disperse because it doesn’t lather. And I would have preferred a more subtle scent - I found the floral fragrance a bit too strong. But it’s an enjoyable self-care experience just the same. I can see myself using this oil when I’m in the mood for a more self-indulgent facial skincare day. -

I love this little contraption! The Flawless cleanser and massager tool is such a fun and luxurious way to wash one’s face. It has 2 different modes for cleansing and 2 modes for massage, and the silicone bristles feel so incredibly good against my skin. I feel like I’m treating myself to real self-care when I use it. It’s USB rechargeable and also waterproof (so it can be used in the shower!) This is an indulgent and rejuvenating little device. I don’t know if I’ll use it every day, but certainly when I need a little extra me-time. -

Batiste Naturally is an excellent dry shampoo. Instantly refreshes your hairdo when there’s no time for a proper wash. This product contains natural extracts of chamomile and green tea, and the rice powder absorbs the excess scalp oil. Its scent is absolutely lovely, leaving hair smelling sweet and flowery. So easy and quick to use in the morning for a fast refresh. And because it is plant-based with all-natural ingredients, I feel confident in using it regularly. A must-have! -

I'm so excited to be chosen to try this Covergirl Simply Ageless Lash Plumping Mascara! I received #105 Black, which is so flattering and makes my lashes look lush, full, and feathery! This product is a primer, serum, AND mascara all-in-one, because it contains hyaluronic acid and bamboo serum. So this mascara makes lashes look great instantly, but also plumps and nourishes them over time as well! I've definitely noticed that I have less lash fallout after use and my lashes are starting to look thicker. The wand brush is curved, so it hooks onto your lashes and evenly spreads colour with zero clumping. This brush also has a curling effect where I don't even need to use my eyelash curler at all! Love it! The colour is buildable depending on how dramatic you wanna go with your look; great for everyday use, or a vava-voom night out! This is an excellent mascara, and I highly recommend it. -

This Naturally Flavoured Triple Berry Club Soda is so refreshing and delicious. I’m a big fan of flavoured sparkling water, and this product has seriously impressed me. You can really taste the blackberry, blueberry, and raspberry flavour. It’s the perfect splash of fruit flavour without being overwhelming or leaving an aftertaste. With zero calories or sugars, but it doesn’t taste artificial. Great on its own, or as cocktail mix if you’re feeling frisky. The bubbles dance on your tongue, fizzy just like soda pop. A much healthier option when you’re in the mood for a carbonated drink. I can feel good about drinking this beverage, any time of the day. I will definitely be purchasing another case soon. -

This velvety sorbet melts in your mouth and is absolutely delicious.
The swirl of fruit flavours blend beautifully together, with the perfect combination of sweet and tart. You can really taste the peach and cherry and passionfruit purée. Very refreshing. It tastes like summer and looks like a sunrise! Scoops of this colourful sorbet make a beautiful presentation that I’m proud to serve to my family and friends. And because it’s lactose free, gluten free, and peanut/nut free it is safe for those who have dietary intolerances and allergies. This is a perfect treat for a hot summer’s day, and I can’t wait to have my next bowl! 5 stars, I recommend.

Kitset’s Mango Citrus powdered drink mix dissolved quickly into my glass of water. First impression - the mix smells delicious. Has a tropical citrus scent. Dissolved into an appealing light orange colour. Smells ether than it tastes though. The flavour is only okay, kind of like watered down orange drink. Slight tangy aftertaste, probably from the sea salt and stevia leaf. This powder contains red beets which is a cool healthy ingredient. I feel like my review is incomplete, because the main ingredient advertised is missing from the sample - ie. cannabis. This product would normally contain 20mg of pure CBD isolate, but this sample does not contain any cannabis (due to CDN regulations). So all I can say is that I am curious to try the real deal CBD product someday. -

I am a big fan of this Dove refillable deodorant! The starter kit is easy to assemble and has a beautiful design. The stainless steel case is hefty and sleek and feels durable. Looks gorgeous on my shelf too! The deodorant has a lovely scent and kept me smelling great all day. I love that I can refill the case over and over and produce less plastic waste. And 0% aluminum makes me confident using it - this product is safer and better for me, and for the environment! Great work Dove! -
