I received a 3ml sample of ROC Pro-Correct Anti-Wrinkle Rejuvenating Fluid. I don't know why they call it a fluid cause to me it looks more like a lotion. It has a nice light scent that smells very clean and it absorbs almost immediately into the skin. Since this does have Retinol and Hyaluronic Acid as the main active ingredients I prefer to use it only in the evening. Another reason I choose to use it only once a day is because Retinol products tend to irritate my skin and dry it out if used too frequently.
Since I only had a sample I personally did not get the full effects of this product. The full effects of Retinol can take weeks, even months to see. I personally would not purchase this product just because I only use retinol creams at night and I personally prefer a heavier cream or lotion at bedtime. This would be perfect for someone that uses Retinol products during the day because it absorbs quickly into the skin and doesn't leave your skin looking greasy and oily and I imagine it would wear well under makeup.

This is the eyeshadow you want when you're looking for a simple, natural look. The colors are all beige therefore they all look very similar. Three of them have a slight shimmer to them and the other one is matte. This is the main eyeshadow palette I lean towards when I'm going to work as I find the neutral colors very professional. It applies smoothly and doesn't settle into the creases or fine lines.
This eyeshadow quad comes with two applicator's that are in a compartment below the eyeshadow. I personally prefer to use my own eyeshadow brush as the applicator's are very basic. Marcelle eyeshadow's are hypoallergenic, perfume and paraben free as well as opthalmologist tested. This makes it great for those with the most sensitive of eyes. I purchased this eyeshadow at Shoppers Drugmart for 14.95 and it's well worth the price. If you are someone looking for a bold eyeshadow this is not for you but for those that want a more natural look this is for you.

I have to say I absolutely love this cc cream. I find it makes my skin look slightly dewy which I personally like. It gives me a smooth even tone and doesn't settle into my fine lines. It I also goes on smoothand blends easily. I have started applying it with my Laritzy Cosmetics Problender Sponge and I find a little goes a long way. Although it says it's full coverage I find it's more of a ight to medium coverage. It covers better than a tinted moisturizer but less than a foundation.
This cc cream has anti-Aging hydrating serum so it's great for aging and mature skin. It also has SPF 50 so this cc cream is perfect for the summer. I personally have normal to combination skin but for someone with oilier skin I would definitely recommend using a setting powder. I have this cream in light and it matches well with my skin tone. I am definitely excited to try some of their other products. I seen It Cosmetics Bye Bye Undereye on Amazon at an affordable price and I'm thinking I'm going to have to try that as well.

For someone that loves green smoothies and doesn't always have time to prepare them on their own this is great. I purchased this pouch for 2.97$ at Walmart. It does 2 x 296 ml smoothies.
It's very easy to prepare. You just drop 1\2 the bag in your blender with 3\4 cup of apple juice and 3\4 cup of water and blend.
The ingredients are mango, pineapple, green chickpeas, bananas, and spinach. There is is no sugar or preservatives added. It's a great source of iron, vitamin C, vitamin A and fibre.
I was quite pleased with the nutritional facts and will be purchasing these on a regular basis. I think next time I will substitute the juice with milk instead to give it a more smoother taste and texture as opposed to a more juice like smoothie.

This is the first time I have ever tried Chapman's Titimisu Gelato. This is a blend of chocolate, espresso and mascarapone. I find when I take the first bite the espresso is the dominant flavor but after that first bite it's not as intense. If you're a coffee lover and looking for an intense coffee flavor this ice cream is not for you. The chocolate is okay but not of high quality. As for the mascarapone, I don't taste it at all. Although it boasts 25% less fat than the the Chpmans premium brand I would rather endure more fat and have better quality and better tasting ice cream. The only way I would rate this ice cream higher would be if the espresso flavor was more pronounced. So considering the premium and the gelato are the same price I would definitely pick the premium icecream over this. -

My son is eatting healthier and requested granola so I picked this 300 g bag up on special for 4.97$. Although I did find it a bit pricey it is worth the money. It's 77% organic and has dried cranberries, roasted almonds, dried apples and calendula petals. The granola gives it a nice crunchiness and the cranberry is nice and tart and chewy. I can't pick out the apple taste at all so I'm unsure if it's cause the other ingredients are more dominant but either way it's delicious. The only way it could get any better is if they added dark chocolate chunks to it. I could sit down and eat this by the handful straight out of the bag. You can also add it to your or plain ice cream or just add milk and eat it as cereal. -

I went to the chocolate factory I picked up two boxes of Queen Anne Cordial Cherries and I paid only 2.99$ for both boxes since they had a promotion buy one get one free. There's ten in each box so that really was a steal. They come in a box with two sealed trays, five in each. These are cordial cherries with the usual icing sugar and corn syrup surrounding dipped in milk chocolate. For me they were way too sweet. I make homemade chocolates at times so maybe I have been spoiled. I also find they have a low quality taste. I think the next time I crave cherry chocolates I will make my own or buy Chocolate Cherry Blossoms which I love. -

The EUPHHair Straightener brush is extremely easy to use . It has a power on button, a minus and plus button to increase or decrease heat and a button that slides up and down to lock or unlock the heat settings. The temperature starts at 80 and goes all the way up to 230°C (176°F - 450°F ) It has an OLED screen with a blue backlight and the numbers show up in a bold black making the temperature reading easily visible. The handle is ergonomic and easy to grip feeling nice in the hand.The heating plate is hot but the brush bristles are made of firm plastic with an Anti-Aging tip.
I honestly have to say I wasn't expecting all that much from this brush thinking it probably wouldn't do the job but I sure was pleasantly surprised. It worked way better than I expected. I clipped my hair out only taking small pieces out at a time holding the ends I brushed the hair twice and my hair was straight. It was not time consuming. It only took me about twelve minutes to do my full head of hair. My hair type is fine although I have alot so it might take longer for someone with thicker, coarser hair or for someone with curly hair.
I believe this hair straightening brush would be less damaging than a flat iron and although it straightens my hair it doesn't leave my hair looking perfectly pin straight but rather more natural. I think I will definitely be using this brush more often than my flat iron. It didn't leave break my hair or leave it dull and dry even though I forgot to put on heat protector. Next time I will use my L'oreal heat protecting spray and I'm sure my hair will look even better.

Out of all the Milk 2 Go flavors I have to say the Iced coffee is my favorite. It tastes more like milk than coffee which is ok for me because I love milk and I'm not a fan of strong coffee. I actually like this more than the Starbucks bottled coffee cause it's not as sweet and although it's madden partly I skimmed milk I still I find it has a thicker creamier texture like 3.25% milk. This comes in a 473 ml bottle and each serving is considered 250 ml. It does contain 23 g of sugar per serving so not the best if you're watching your figure. But it does have 45% vitamin C, 10% vitamin A, 30% calcium and only 2% iron. I usually purchase a few bottles every time I go to Walmart or Shoppers Drugmart and I tend to only drink half the bottle in a day and the remainder the following day. If you are like me and love your milk drinks give this a try. -

Although I tried the citron honey and coriander lotion in this line and was not a big fan I can honestly say I was happier with the skin cleansing shower gel. The lemon scent was quite dominant but most definitely awakens the senses which is definitely what you want, especially in an early morning shower. Its not overly soapy or sudsy but still leaves you feeling fresh and clean. It rinses of really well and doesn't leave any residue behind. It didn't dry out or irritate my skin as some cleansers tend to do. Although I would not go out of my way to buy this just because lemon is not my favorite scent to choose from. I will however continue to finish the three sample sized bottles I have. This product has no added parabens, phthalates or sodium lauryl sulfate -
