This was one of the first toners I ever added to my skincare routine, but it's not quite right for my skin type. I find it a bit too stripping for my prone to being dry skin. I would say this toner is better suited to a more normal or oily skin. I do appreciate the price point and that it's so easily accessible. -

I love tinted moisturizers for low-makeup days, and this one fares pretty well, although, it is quite sheer. I would say this CC falls more into the skincare category because you don't get much in the way of pigment. That said, the colour does even out skin tone and blur the look of imperfections, but you're likely still going to want to use a concealer and a bit of powder. I love that this is really hydrating though and wears really nicely throughout the day without getting cakey or dry looking. -
NIVEA Q10 Anti-Age Hand Cream
I really can't speak to the anti-aging properties of this hand cream as I'm not at that stage of life (just yet, anyway) and don't have any visible aging. That said, I do love this hand cream! I'm pretty bad at remembering to use hand cream, but... +
I really can't speak to the anti-aging properties of this hand cream as I'm not at that stage of life (just yet, anyway) and don't have any visible aging. That said, I do love this hand cream! I'm pretty bad at remembering to use hand cream, but this one is easier to actually use as it absorbs really cleanly and doesn't leave your hands with any kind of weird film. It has a nice scent that isn't too overpowering and hydrates really well. Overall,this is an excellent hand cream to have on the go. -
McCain Extra Crispy Crinkle Cut Fries
We don't eat frozen fries very often (like maybe twice a year, max) but I did pick these up a few weeks ago. I know I wasn't going to have time to do my own oven fries, and these sounded really good. I was expected them to have a coating (like other... +
We don't eat frozen fries very often (like maybe twice a year, max) but I did pick these up a few weeks ago. I know I wasn't going to have time to do my own oven fries, and these sounded really good. I was expected them to have a coating (like other extra crispy fries I've tried) but they didn't. No biggie, but they just didn't taste that great. They cooked really well and had a nice, crisp outside with a fluffy inside, but they were bland and just didn't taste like much. I wouldn't buy them again. -

I've been using this cleansing oil for a few weeks, and am pretty pleased with it! It's light weight, applies easily and emulsifies easily with water. It breaks down makeup well and doesn't leave an oily film on skin after it's rinsed. While I like it, I'm not so much a fan of the scent and would make me hesitate to repurchase.

I was really excited about this oil as I love trying new facial oils and this one is super inexpensive. A bit of budget beauty is always appreciated. The oil is pretty light weight, but hydrates skin well. It absorbs easily and leaves skin instantly softer and smoother. I wasn't sure if I'd be a fan of the fragrance, but it's not too overpowering and doesn't linger very long after application. I love that this hydrates my skin thoroughly without being heavy and leaves it radiant and soft.

I love micellar waters for makeup removal, and will try them all. That said, I was excited to see if Garnier's could beat "the one" (aka Bioderma). The verdict? It's pretty good! I found the solution works well to breakup makeup and remove it without the need for tugging and rubbing. I found the solution to be gentle on my eyes, and was able to remove long wearing formulas pretty easily. I will totally buy this again, but will likely try the waterproof version next as I tend to wear waterproof mascara.

I received this product from the Product Review Club for review purposes.
I quite often look for brightening properties in skincare, as my skin can be dull and lifeless. While I don't think I've been using this moisturizer long enough to see full results, I quite like it so far. The moisturizer has a light feel, but provides a nice does of hydration on my usually dehydrated skin and leaves it feeling incredibly smooth. The fact that is smooths skin so nicely makes this a great day cream and works well as primer under makeup. I would have loved a higher SPF, but otherwise, I definitely recommend this.

I don't drink a lot of herbal teas (I go for black tea most often) but I received a sample of this ea when I made a David's Tea purchase and decided to give it a try. The tea has a fruity apple base with a hint of cinnamon that is fragrant and quite tasty. I liked that it was more than aromatic, and that it has a nice amount of flavour. I made mine hot, but it would be a really nice iced tea in warmer months. -
