I received a deluxe size sample of this to try for free. I often use cleansing oils or balms to take of my sunscreen and foundation at night so I was happy to try such a luxe version.The scent is gorgeous. It smells to me like a light floral and is not overwhelming, just lovely. It removed my makeup and sunscreen easily. I often wear mineral sunscreens which are notoriously difficult to remove but it was easy with this cleanser. It left my skin feeling soft and moisturized and not dry at all. I sometimes double cleanse and this is great for that but I didn't feel it was necessary as I didn't feel oily or sticky after rinsing. This is definitely a more expensive choice but it only took a small amount to cover my entire face and neck so I think this would last a long time. -

I tried this all over my face on two separate mornings, once when wearing makeup and once going bare faced. It has a slight fragrance but not too noticeable. I have very dry skin so gel moisturizers aren't usually enough for me but this felt surprisingly moisturizing. It layered well under foundation with no pilling. On the day I only used this and went bare faced it looked matte but didn't feel overly dry but I did feel the need for more moisture as the day went on. I think people with oily or combination skin would really love this. With my dry skin it wasn't quite sufficient for a Rocky Mountain super cold and dry winter but would be perfect for hot summer days. -

This is a lighter, whipped textured cream with a slightly fruity scent. I’ve been using this every morning sometime under foundation and sometime bare faced. It isn’t greasy and leaves a mostly matte, velvety finish. I’ve found it perfect as a primer under foundation with no pilling or flaking. It is light enough that I can put sunscreen over-top and not feel like it is sliding off. I also really like it with no makeup because it kind of blurs the skin and tones down the shine. I tend to have red, dry, sensitive cheeks and this doesn’t sting at all. I feel like it soothes my skin. I have been using a retinol at night plus this in the morning and have experienced no dryness or irritation. -

This is a thicker cream with a light, clean scent, like fresh laundry. It feels moisturizing enough on its own for my dry skin with no additional oil or serum. It is not at all greasy or sticky and leaves a velvety finish to my skin. Right from the first use I saw results. My skin looks plump and youthful and feels super smooth. I’m a bit surprised that I have had no sensitivity from the retinol. Often it is an ingredient that leaves me with red, irritated cheeks and a tight feeling but with this I have experienced zero sensitivity or irritation. I think it actually helped with my usual redness because my skin looks soft and radiant and not pink. I have to say that my skin has never looked or felt better and I will absolutely repurchase this again. -

I switched to natural deodorants about a year ago and I have since tried many different brands. I have found that some work better than others. This one really works for me. It keeps me odor free all day without having to reapply part way through the day, like some other brands. This was easy to apply and has a pleasant texture. The two things I don't love about it are: It leaves white residue which can come off on clothing, and I find it a bit irritating to my skin. I suspect it contains a level of baking soda that doesn't work for me. If you are not sensitive then I would highly recommend this product. For those of us who are more sensitive this brand does make a few "sensitive" versions and they are amazing too!

I really enjoyed this ginger beer straight up on its own. It has a very strong ginger taste which is warming and delicious. It is also very smooth without any bite or sharpness which makes it very easy to drink. I've found other ginger beers to be too harsh and they left my mouth burning but this one is extremely pleasant. I drank mine plain but it would be perfect for cocktails, a bit of rum and lime would be divine!
I really like the size of the bottle which is smallish but perfect for making one drink for one person. It only has 100 calories too which makes it a reasonably healthy treat, I notice that there are no crazy ingredients too, It really is just ginger, sugar, water and a few preservatives. I really appreciate that there are no colourings or unnecessary additives.

I tried this out in the evening when I felt in need of a sweet snack. I figure it's much healthier than ice cream! It totally satisfied my craving and I felt pretty good about making a better choice. I was actually surprised by how much I liked this flavour. It really was delicious! I will be purchasing this in the future. It's super convenient and I didn't have to haul out my blender to make it. My only issue is with the forms of sugar substitute that were used in this. I would prefer stevia, monkfruit, or even real sugar to the forms that were used. This won't stop me from buying this as I will only be drinking it occasionally so I don't think it will be a problem. Other than that small issue I very much enjoyed this and will be buying it.

This is sparkly lemonade with a ginger twist and I am hooked! If lemonade and ginger ale had a delicious baby this would be it. I love lemonade but I often find that it is too sweet, or worse, too sour. This combination is just right. It’s not too sweet, not too tart and very refreshing. Everyone is my family enjoyed this, even those who don’t usually like lemonade. I think it would be especially tasty mixed with vodka or other alcohol. Combining ginger with lemon is genius! I don’t often drink soda because of the high sugar content and this one does have a fair bit of sugar but it is pretty delicious so I think I will continue to purchase this to replace my usual occasional canned or bottled lemonade.

During the period where I was testing this product I was lucky enough (Ha ha) to have both a killer headache and a bruised rib. I often take Tylenol for these sort of problems so I knew it would work but I was very interested to see if it worked faster than regular Tylenol. Most especially for the headache because I just wanted it gone immediately. I took one pill as my dose, although the label says that you can take two if you need it. While this didn't provide immediate relief (in my dreams!) it took only about 20 minutes for it to kick in and reduced my headache significantly, like 90%, making it much more tolerable. I suspect that had I taken two pills it would have been completely gone. My bruised rib also responded really well to this product. While I didn't require the super quick effectiveness of this version, Tylenol always works for my body pain. To end I'll say that this works the same as regular Tylenol in providing relief for headaches and body pain but it works much faster. That doesn't always matter to me but when it does I'm going to be reaching for this version of Tylenol

The first thing you will notice about this is the unusual bottle. I've never seen anything like it! It looks super cool and I can't express how happy I am to be able to see how much product is left before I run out. I've been wishing for this for years! While it is obviously not an aerosol it sprays a fine, even mist just like one.
So the packaging is fantastic, but how is the hairspray? I'm happy to report that I love it so much. It has the same lovely jasmine scent as the rest of the line. It's light and not too floral with a hint of coconut. I don't really use hairspray for the hold but more to tame down my frizz. I sprayed this on and smoothed it down a bit and all my little frizzy hairs that stick up were gone! The best part is that I can't feel it in my hair at all. There is not stickiness of crunchiness, just soft, frizz-free hair that I can run my fingers through. This is hands down the best hairspray, maybe the best product period. for frizz that I have ever used. I truly never want to be without it!
