I used palmer's lotion for stretch marks during pregnancy and post partum, as well also on stretch marks on the inner thighs.
I do find it moisturizers very well. It's a very thick lotion, stays both on the skin and also absorbs very much so into the depths of the skin.
Did I notice right away reduction? No.....but I did notice healthier looking skin that assisted in appearance to look better. It might take quite some time to reduce the stretch marks as there is no instant cure for them sadly....
I did like the amount of vitamin e
The smell was good not over powering.
I can see why both pregnant and non pregnant customers continue to buy this lotion.

I recently received as part of a gift the LA ROCHE-POSAY rosaliac cc creme.
I never heard of the brand having a cc creme so it was exciting to try.
At first I didn't know what to expect except that it is a good brand that is known for good quality products.
I actually extremely liked the color of the cc creme!! I did not even have to use additional skin makeup (foundation, powder, or concealer!!)
It amazed me! I could wear daily wear just the cc creme on its own and my face looked flawless.
It really did correct my face giving it a natural look, I didn't look as if I had makeup on my face but my face actually was smooth, coverage provided, and all blemishes and imperfections covered while giving it a natural face glow!!
I was amazed, my words exact!!
It is pricey, but I think it is worth the buy.
I used daily, and would only add additional makeup when I was attending an event where more coverage and more makeup would be required to complete my look.
I really liked!!! I would have never guessed I could purchase a makeup product from this brand. It is more expensive, but it is worth the quality.

Honestly, I tried this maybelline mascara from shoppers drug mart purchased because it was 1) on sale, and 2) i liked that it was a pink tube and said full fan effect.
It worked!!!
To begin great price!! Bargain buy!!! And with coupons you can always save an additional dollar or two!!
It worked. It gave my eye lashes that fan effect like it said which resulted in my eyes opening up and giving a flirty effect.
I did not have to use much of the mascara.
Only downfall I find with store brand value mascaras in comparison to higher end brand mascaras is it did dry up and start clumping up faster than other higher end mascaras I am used to wear, however for the value and price I can not complain, it is just an observation. :)
I like the color of mascara tube and packaging, I liked the fan effect on my lashes, and my wallet liked the price.
I recommend and probably would buy again.

I was excited to try aveeno, as there are a few products that are beauty related that also assist health wise. Aveeno to come out with a cream that also has health benefits to treat eczema was exciting opportunity to try!!
I was disappointed greatly....
It was sad that I had an eczema outbreak (this cold weather in Toronto along with heat indoors) makes for "perfect" outbreaks on the hands especially :(
Perfect timing to try Aveeno.
It didn't help...I had to resort to other delicate hand creams throughout the day from other same level brands, as well as in addition use my doctor prescribed cream to assist in the itchiness.
For me, I found no relief with this Aveeno product :(
I did find it make a good hand cream in general as it contained a LOT of moisture, maybe too much as the moisture did not soak into the hands.
I found a hard time to let the hands absorb the lotion and the itchiness did not go away at all.
Even hand creams that are NOT for eczema I found provide at least a bit of relief.
I was disappointed and can not recommend this product to others who suffer from Eczema as it did not help me. :(

I received the product from Sephora and was excited to try, as it was considered a "fashion" brand gone to makeup.
I did not like.
The crayon was difficult to put on precisely, it would smudge a lot, which is good if you want a smudged smokey look, but not for an every day or delicate precise eye liner look.
The color was good but didn't last all day, honestly especially in the summer color faded fast, and needed frequent application.
The eyeliner was extremely difficult to sharpen!!!!!!!
Overall, fashion brand should tick to marc jacobs what does best and leave crayon to other makeup brands.

I purchased CAILYN brand gelux eyebrow makeup care from a local eyebrow spa and salon when they complimented my eyebrow waxing with my eyebrows makeup.
I liked a lot! Purchased the eyebrow care right away.
I do like and recommend, however only if slight changes made.
Biggest thing I disliked was how quickly the eyebrow gel got "old", dried up and very difficult to use. I couldn't remove with the brush provided, it become clay like and hard.
I had to throw away half of the product because it was not usable.
I liked in the beginning, very easy to use maintain and apply on the eyebrows.
I followed procedures as directed by the makeup artist as well as on the company website. Unfortunately, the makeup dries up really fast and becomes difficult to use, after a while you CAN NOT even use.
Otherwise, in the beginning, it was a great product.
Plenty of colors to match various eye brow colors and facial complexions.
As well, easy brush to glide on included on the top, you don't need to carry an additional brush or store.
With improvements , I would purchase again, however at the time I will not as half the product goes to waste and I used the product daily, it wasn't like I was saving for months.
Great beauty products if improved.

I received from Sephora the samples for Kat Von D Lock-It concealer creme, and I am glad I did not spend my own money on this makeup product because I did not like.
I found it too thick on my face, too drying, there was not a nice creamy coverage as it stated on the marketing package. Instead I found it harsh, drying and too thick.
I didn't notice 24 hour coverage, after just a regular work day I noticed concealer was smudging.
I didn't like the colors, I tried numerous amounts and there wasn't the right blends either too dark or too light, and usually most makeup brands I can find an equal balance to blend. I could not with these colors.
Over all, glad I didn't pay before I tried. Glad I received from Sephora to try before bought, because I don't recommend this concealer.

I purchased for Christmas to host the president's choice sicilian lemon italian soda that was sold at Fortinos to serve to guests.
It was a hit not only for the guests but for my family!!
Great lemon taste, not too bitter and definitely not sweet. It was enjoyable and not overwhelming.
I was able to serve on its own, or make with a mixed drink for the adults to enjoy (with some gin or vodka) :)
it had great flavour and sold at fortinos for a great price, as it was on sale too. Good to know when on sale again I will stock up!!!
Contains 12% fruit juice which is not bad, ingredients were not too bad in comparison to pop sodas.
Says product of Italy, it does taste like a soda I did drink while on Italian vacations. I will buy again and recommend. Great value too!!

I began purchasing 2% milk from Organiz Meadow for about a year now for my family.
I do notice a smoother, cleaner taste of this milk in comparison to other generic brand 2% milks I bought in the past.
It is a couple of dollars more than the other generic brands, but in my opinion worth the price as there is a taste difference.
I do like that the milk is from Guelph, more locally supportive of this product and I do like that there is the milk carton of glass option for the milk. I prefer the milk in the glass option for our family but I do purchase both.
I did research the company Organic Meadow and I do like their values of raising the cattle as well as producing the milk. SO far no complaints and better taste than other 2% milks on the market.
I will continue paying slightly higher for this product.

I recently purchased the pecksniff's england hand wash collection (and lotion!) from home sense / winners store. I know the brand and was happy to see it for a slightly better value at the store.
I purchased my favorite scent from pecksniff's which is the rose & peony collection.
I am reviewing the hand wash.
Very gently even on ezczema prone hands. Great wash, just a little from the pump bottle gets a thorough clean for your hands.
Beautiful but yet delicate scent even for the men to enjoy the roses :)
Made in England which is a bonus to see among today's products sold.
Left my hands cleaned, moisturized lightly, as well as lightly fragranced.
Bought and will continue to buy from this collection.
I noticed there are other fragrances , but this seems to be my favorite.
