I admit that I'm drawn to anything about coconut and hydration. Although, I don't detect the coconut scent in this product. It does smell pleasant, light and refreshing but I can't really describe the exact scent.
I have naturally frizzy and dry hair that is also bleached and coloured so it's damaged. I found that this shampoo cleaned really well with just one shampoo and my hair didn't feel stripped, it did feel quite tangled though. However, the matching conditioner took the tangles out in a nano second.
I liked the conditioner a lot more than the shampoo for my dry and damaged hair, it smoothed and detangled my hair immediately. I think my hair needs a shampoo that is more powerful / geared towards my dry and frizzy hair. I think this would shampoo would be great for someone with healthier hair but unfortunately that is not me.

This has been my favourite aluminum free deodorant for years. Keep in mind, it's not an antiperspirant so it's not going to have the same effectiveness on wetness. I find that it does keep my drier than other deodorants, I think it's the cotton-tech. It also smells great (I get the sport scent) and I find I don't have any body odor when I wear this.
If I know I need something more powerful for special occasions or stressful situations, I will step it up and use an antiperspirant which has aluminum. But, for an everyday basis, I choose to stay away from aluminum as our bodies do absorb what we put on it and I'd rather be safe than sorry.
This is the most effective deodorant product that I have tried.

Essence is just amazing. Quickly becoming one of my favourite lines at the drugstore and they are cruelty free! This tinted eye brow gel is just perfect. btw.. it now comes in 3 shades. I find that it looks very natural on me. It grooms my brows and holds them in place while adding a touch of colour.
I use the blonde as I have blonde hair but dark brows. I was afraid it would turn my brows a funny looking colour since it's lighter than my brows but it did not. It lightens my brows ever so slightly, it just makes them look more perfected. Essence's brow gel did not deposit any clumps of product onto my brows like some other tinted brow gels have. If you like a bolder brow, I think that one of the darker colours offered by Essence would give you that look. But for my purposes the blonde 01 colour is just perfect.
I couldn't be happier with this product and it's so affordable! ps. it doesn't give you "crunchy" brows either. ;)

Olay regenerist advanced anti aging micro sculpting cream

Olay has always agreed with my skin. I strayed away from this brand as I got older, somehow thinking that I had to use higher brands as I age. I recently tried this product again and found that it was very effective and true to all Olay products that I've used, it agrees with my skin. My skin is very reactive and dehydrated but I had no adverse reactions or irritation from this product. I am prone to breakouts but this doesn't cause any clogged pores or acne for me. I find that my skin is hydrated and looks and feels better overall.
This product proved to me that you don't have to leave the drugstore for great skincare! It's on the higher end of prices for a drugstore product but I find there is always a sale going on.
I think it's a great product and works like a higher end product.

For my dry and dehydrated iips, this product just doesn't cut it. It comes in really cute packaging, although bulky, and has great scents available which are nice. But after going through a whole one of these, I realize that it just doesn't do anything for me moisture wise.
It may work well as something light to wear under a lipstick since it's not too thick and it's not greasy, but if you are looking for some intense hydration, this isn't it. I feel it just sits on my lips and doesn't hydrate at all. I will not repurchase.

10 star product!
I jump around from lip balm to lip balm, always searching for my holy grail. My lips are very dry, dehydrated and peel so I'm always trying new products to help them.
My lips seem to get used to products which also has me on a constant rotation of lip products. When all else fails, I always come back to this one. I should probably just stick with this one and stop all the product testing but it's just my nature.
I'll definitely be going back to this one, especially for winter!

I am enjoying and reaching for this palette much more than I thought I would. The shadows are not very pigmented but that's what I was looking for; lighter shades that aren't too shimmery. I wanted some shadows for a softer look. My eyes are aging and becoming more and more hooded so I am leaning towards mostly light colours for my lids these days.
This palette only has one matte shade which is a pinky mauve shade. It could really use a mid-tone brown and ivory matte shades.
Although the palette does have a few pink shades, it's the palette itself that makes it look so pink, in my opinion. There are quite a few other colours like a gold, taupe, green, and brown. Although, some of the colours go on looking totally different from how they appear in the pan.
Some of the shadows are more pigmented than others. Besides the one matte, the rest are satin and shimmer, only one shade has actual glitter and the shimmer shades are quite subtle.
I would recommend this palette for anyone looking for a softer eye look, or someone looking for some pretty light lid shades.

This has become my favourite pasta! It never gets soggy or sticky, it's just the right texture. It's the most delicious pasta that I've ever tasted, for real! It's also made with such healthy ingredients like kale and spinach. I find that this pasta doesn't expand a lot like regular pasta so I have to buy more. But with a health profile like this, I don't care, it's worth it! -

This is right up my alley. I love protein and I try to make sure that I get enough protein in my diet, can be difficult to do as I'm not much of a meat eater at all, so it's not easy to meet my daily requirements of protein. I'm usually on the go and don't have a lot of time always to make myself a healthy protein shake (which is my daily breakfast),
I love the chocolate flavour, it's very creamy and smooth and not too sweet. I appreciate that this drink is much lower in sugar than most drinks. Ideally, for me, this would be made with stevia and have even less sugar. Hence, why I limit myself to one of these a day. I don't just love it in the morning though, I also love it as a snack and before and after a workout! Tastes like a treat without the guilt.
The taste and nutritional profile of this drink is much better than other, similar drinks on the market. I would definitely recommend it to anyone who is trying to fill in nutritional gaps or those who need something health to have on the go. Not only do these have a lot of protein, and they're lower in sugar than most drinks but they also have 26 vitamins and minerals, plus calcium and Vitamin D.
I love these for a healthy on the go snack. It's hard to find these days and these meet my requirements.

I decided to try TreSemme's Platinum Strength shampoo and conditioner based on reviews. These products did not disappoint! I can't believe how well they work, not to mention the price is so darn affordable. I have very dry and damaged hair from bleaching, colouring, heat styling etc. I find my hair is very hard to manage and difficult to keep my frizz under control. This conditioner works as well as some high end products, even better than some. If you have difficult hair like I do, I highly recommend that you try this line! -
