Very refreshing with perfect bubbles and nice subtle flavour
I am a bit of a sparkling water/soda water expert. I kid you not, I drink it all day every day. My usual brand is in the tall green bottles and I go through a ton of it. I wasn't sure how I would feel about this new version. I actually really love it! The orange mandarin flavour is subtle but I can definitely taste it. The bubbles are medium to small which is my preference and I find them pleasant on the tongue. The water is very clean and crisp tasting. I warned you I was a bit of a water snob and I judge a soda water like I would judge a wine! Lol! I really like this one and I will be purchasing it in the future. It is easy to drink and easy to find in every store.

I am a huge fan of micellar water and this one is one of my favorites. I mostly use them in the morning, although sometimes I use them to remove makeup. This one has a very faint scent but it's not perfumed or offensive. I think it's just the natural scent of the ingredients. It doesn't sting or irritate my dry, sensitive skin and leaves it feeling refreshed and clean without being stripped of moisture. I've used it around my eye area with no stinging or irritation and it seems to take off eye makeup fairly well. I don't use waterproof mascara so I can't tell you if it would work for that but for my minimal makeup it works great. This is a very good product at a great price and I will be buying it again in the future.

This has texture more like a moisturizing cream than the thicker texture I associate with a primer. It spreads easily and absorbs quickly. My skin is quite dry and tight after washing and I like to put a moisturizer on immediately. I used this primer straight up with no moisturizer on first and it felt soothing and got rid of the tight feeling. If I was especially dry and flaky on my cheeks I might want to put a few drops of facial oil underneath but for the most part this worked on its own. The first day I tried this primer I didn't wear any makeup with it. It made my imperfections look a bit blurred and my skin was almost matte with just a but of dewiness on my T-zone. By the end of the day the dewiness had turned into a bit of oiliness and I used a blotting paper to tone down the shine. This oiliness happens no matter what product I use so it isn't caused by the primer. The second day I tried the primer with my usual makeup; mineral powder foundation and powder blush. My makeup applied smoothly over the top and stayed on a bit better than usual.
My conclusion is that this is a very nice moisturizing product for those who need moisture but don't want to be greasy. It's a great base for makeup and works well on it's own. The blurring and mattifying effect is minimal but if you have pretty good skin it really is all that is needed for a casual day at home. I will definitely repurchase this in the future and I think I'll pick up the version for normal skin for the summer when I'm not so dry.

After using La Roche-Posay Micellar Water for Reactive Skin last night and this morning my skin was glowing today. I don't credit a cleanser with giving me a good skin day but I can say that it removed my makeup and didn't upset my skin in any way. A bad cleanser can really mess up perfect skin but this one did not cause any issues and I would classify it as an excellent cleanser. Last night I used it to remove primer, powder foundation, blush and highlighter and as you can see from my picture it took it all off. There was no tugging or scrubbing required. After using it my skin felt clean, hydrated and smooth. The product has no scent that I could discern and it looks like plain water when you put it on a cotton pad but it is clearly magical unicorn tears because it does an amazing job of cleaning and soothing my often red, sensitive skin. I've used other micellar waters and I even have a drugstore one that's a favorite but this one is a bit more elegant feeling on my skin and I think it's better at keeping my reactive skin happy. I'm a convert! I can highly recommend this for dry, sensitive skin.

There are seriously only two ingredients in this protein powder! I don't know how that is even possible! It has no sugar, no fat and no flavouring and yet provides 18g of protein! I'm using a lot of exclamation marks in this review but I am truly excited and amazed. I've tried a ton of different protein powders and this is the only one that is so pure and simple. I used it in a smoothie and it just disappeared into the liquid. It wasn't thick or lumpy and had no taste or aftertaste at all. It is the easiest protein powder I have used because it is like it isn't even there! I also tried it in protein pancakes and it was perfect, easy and you would never know that so much protein was packed into a pancake. I will definitely be repurchasing this powder and using it all the time. I think you could add it to pretty well anything and that makes it super easy to get enough protein in the day. I will be recommending this to everyone I know. Finally, a protein powder that doesn't taste like dessert!

My wavy hair is very fine so I'm always cautious about spraying styling products on to it. I don't want to look greasy or to weigh my hair down too much. I use just a light spray of this and comb it through my damp hair. It leaves my hair controlled and frizz free without any stiffness or crunchiness. It also helps to define my waves and make them look more polished instead of my usual beachy, bed head waves.

I have very dry, wavy hair and for me conditioner is the most important step. I like a conditioner that distributes through my hair easily, feels silky and provides lots of moisture to my hair. This one ticks all my boxes. After using this my waves were much less frizzy but not at all flattened or weighed down. My hair was shiny, silky and soft!

I have very dry, wavy hair and I like a shampoo that doesn't make my hair tangled in the shower. After shampooing with this my hair felt silky and soft and not at all stripped of moisture. I usually comb out my knots with conditioner and there weren't any to detangle! I like that the scent is super subtle and the squeeze tubes are easy to use when wet. This is a great first step in controlling frizz and tangles!

My hair is naturally in beachy waves or as the less kind call it "bedhead." I like it a little messy and imperfect. Hairspray isn't usually a styling product I reach for unless I have my hair up for a special occasion but I was willing to give it a try. On a day when my hair was looking a little limp and sad I spritzed a little Airspray underneath and on the top layer. I gave it a little fluff with my fingers and continued on with my makeup. When I looked up at my hair after a few minutes OMG it had totally formed pretty beachy waves all on its own! It perked my hair right up and gave it the body and texture that I love. I am an Airspray convert and now use it every day!

When I first used this product I slathered it on under and all around my eyes as I would any eye cream and it was a disaster! It looked orange and emphasized my fine lines which are usually very fine. I discovered that a very light hand is the way to go with this cream. I just use a tiny amount and only under my eyes, not on the crows feet area. I also find that it really helps to use a moisturizing eye cream underneath of this one because it is quite drying and it applies so much better when the area is moisturized. As far as I can tell it is more of a cosmetic than an eye cream which is fine but I wouldn't put it on areas with lines or wrinkles because it just makes them look worse. It works really well to cover up my dark circles and that's good enough for me but it takes some time and effort to make it work.
