I've tried many micellar waters and Garnier ones are my favourite. This vitamin C one has a lovely light citrus scent, but I didn't notice a big difference in brightness of my face after using it, compared to other Garnier micellar waters. However, I love it because it removes all my makeup, any dirt and scent from my face. The reason I give it four stars is that doesn't always remove all of the sunscreen on my face, especially if I use mineral sunscreens. Regardless, I love it for the ease of use, and because sometimes I get too lazy to wash my face at night, so I keep this bottle close at hand with a few cotton pads, so I can remove makeup and/or cleanse my face without getting up from the couch IYKYK. -
Maybelline Lash Sensational Sky High Mascara

I used this mascara quite a few times and I'm not in love. For me the problem is the brush. It's highly flexible, so it doesn't comb through my lashes well. I have long lashes, and if the brush doesn't comb through them they group into 2-3 lashes together and it looks terrible. I figured quick light strokes work better, but it's still twice as much work as I would need with other mascaras I normally use. Some people like flexible mascara brushes, but it's really not for me. The mascara itself is good, it doesn't smudge even in the summer heat, and I sweat A LOT. So if you like this type of brush, the mascara itself is good. -

Although I normally have dry/combo skin, in the summer heat it gets pretty oily and shiny. I've been using this toner for years now, and I was happy to receive another bottle from Butterly. It feels refreshing and doesn't dry out my skin, while removing any residual shine from my face. I normally use it at night after cleansing, but sometimes run it over my face midday if I notice it got too sweaty and oily. It instantly makes my face look better, and I just reapply sunscreen again. The bottle is huge and lasts forever (I'd actually love to be able to buy a half sized bottle). -

I've been using cleansing oils and balms for a few years now, and they work really good for me. This cleansing oil is one of the best I've tried. I only need a very small amount for my whole face and it removes all my makeup and sunscreen easily. It emulsifies with warm water well, and rinses off easily, and a second cleanse with a foaming cleanser I'm using rinses it off completely with no residue. My skin afterwards is soft, and it almost doesn't need moisturizing. The oil is obviously runny, so I recommend pouring it into the palm and not onto fingers, but since it's an oil it doesn't need to melt like balms and it's slightly easier to rub it into all the crevices around the nose and other tricky areas. The smell is divine and I wouldn't mind if they came out with a perfume that smells like this. Sadly, it's fragrance and not a natural scent, but I still love it. -

This mascara has all the features I'm looking in one, and for a great price. The slightly curved brush lifts and curls my lashes so well, they don't touch the inside of my sunglasses like it happens with some other mascaras. It also adds lots of length. The fluid inside is perfect - not too think, not too thin, so it coats the lashes well with ZERO clumps, which is rare. This is why it's easy to build up for a more dramatic effect, but here I'm just wearing one coat. It adds a good amount of length, too. Some mascaras have too much fluid on the brush when I just start using a brand new one, but not this one. The tube is made well, so it removes any excess. And it truly is waterproof, which is a blessing during a heat wave. -

I tried different brands of facial cleaning devices, and so far this one is my favourite one. I love that it's made of silicone and waterproof, so I can use it in the shower and also wash it well between uses. I can add cleansers to it for a deep clean, but I would avoid any scrub/cleanser combos. It has 4 settings and it's easy to shuffle through them. The two massage settings are what I didn't have with my other cleansing devices. I also like that it's rechargeable, so there are no batteries to waste.
The reasons I gave it 4 stars are: the charging station is not upright, so it takes more counter space, and it only comes with a USB plug, so I had to provide my own plug to plug it into the electrical outlet. I also HATE the packaging, it's that thin flexible plastic that is hard and dangerous to open (it can easily cut skin), and pretty much non-recyclable.

I've tried many dry shampoos, and this one didn't disappoint. It didn't leave a white cast on my dark brown hair, and it was easy to massage in and brush out. It revived my hair enough to look presentable. I love the new packaging, and the scent is lovely (but not overwhelming). Like all dry shampoos, I wouldn't use it multiple days in a row. -

My daughter is a big fan of Gabby's dollhouse, and as soon as she saw this over she started jumping around. It's a nice addition to our mini kitchen. The oven comes with a cookie sheet and a few baked goods. I personally didn't love that some parts are made of paper, because they won't last with a three year old, and they don't stay on top of plastic parts well (the frosting slips off of the doughnut for example). The oven has two buttons, the bottom one turns the light on and off, the top one makes sounds, phrases or songs when turned. The light is great, but the sounds are loud and there is no volume setting. If the sounds are turned off, the light doesn't work either (of course), so this is a bit of a let down. Even my daughter finds it loud. But it's a fun toy to play with even without the sounds and lights. -

I shave and wax regularly, and for years now I've been getting ingrown hairs a lot, courtesy of dry skin. This Parissa Ingrown Rescue Kit contains everything I would need to care for my skin after shaving (or epilation), including a soap, an exfoliating sponge and a body oil. The soap contains pharmaceutical grade tea tree oil to cleans and kill bacteria which can cause redness and infection. The scent is pretty strong, and tea tree isn't my favourite essential oil, but the soap is gentle and works well, so I'll use it. The second step is a konjac sponge infused with finely ground walnut shells. I'm a big fan of exfoliation, and it's a step I can't skip because of how dry my skin is. I was a bit scared the sponge would be too harsh, but it isn't. The sponge itself is soft, and the walnut shells give the right amount or exfoliation without scraping the skin. This is my favourite part of the set. The last step is the soothing oil. The oil smells nice and sinks into the skin quite quickly. I love that the mini bottle has a spray applicator. However, it's tiny. I applied it on my legs once and it's more than half gone. Overall, it's nice to have everything in one set, but this is something that can be fairly easy to assemble on my own. I may buy it again because I loved the sponge and sometimes it's nice to have a full set when I'm too busy to build a routine on my own. Everything in the set is nice and I can recommend it. -

I received this product only a few days ago, so I only got to try it out once. Let's call this my first impressions review. I have dry skin and because of that I started getting fine lines and wrinkles early. This retinol face skin is so easy to use. I started using it on my forehead and sides of my noses, and I'll expand to the whole face over time. I didn't experience any sensitivity or redness upon application, but I did feel slight tingling, very manageable. After an hour my forehead got itchy, but again, manageable. It's easy to apply, glides well over skin and doesn't tug. I love that I don't get my hands dirty. I do need to note that it's greasy, but since it should be applied at night this is not an issue for me. -
