Wow. Wasn’t expecting to love this as much as I do. I’ve tried many cleansing oils before and haven’t been the biggest fan. Enter Shu Uemura Ultime8∞ Sublime Beauty Cleansing Oil. This stuff works SO well on my combo skin, and best of all actually takes all my makeup off - including my mascara - without leaving me with raccoon eyes. (Even if I was sloppy with the product/ washing, any mascara residue came off easily with a tissue after). My skin did look cleaner, clearer, and just more hydrated. There was a slight lather and the scent is pleasant. I also liked that it saved me steps at night and didn’t leave oily residue like my other cleansing oils do. I received a sample and would purchase the full size even though the price tag is on the steeper side because the product itself feels prestige plus a little goes a long way. -

My fiancé has been a loyal fan of old spice body wash for years so I was pleasantly surprised that he actually really liked the Irish Spring Active Scrub Body Wash when he had the opportunity to try it. He said it lathered nice, left his body soft and clean, rinsed well, and he really liked that he could use it on his face. We both agreed that it smelled great too! The scent lingered for a bit as well. -

This serum was super light, smelled nice, and absorbed quickly so didn’t leave my combo skin feeling greasy. I did the 7 day challenge and although I can’t say much on it making my fine lines disappear I did notice that my skin felt more hydrated, firm and my complexion did look clearer/ more healthy after consistent use. Love that this is free of mineral oils too! -
Breyers Creamery Style Natural Vanilla Frozen Dessert

Can’t go wrong with a pure vanilla flavoured ice cream. This tasted amazing without, by itself or in my diy iced coffee. Loved the little flecks of vanilla bean, and that it didn’t taste fake like some vanilla flavours tend to be. Very creamy and tasted fresh. Would buy again. -

Not gonna lie, I was curious to try these flavours but didn’t think they would be anything too special. My family and I were pleasantly surprised! We got the Nanaimo bar flavoured ice cream and it was very yummy! It was smooth, creamy, and had nice little bits of coconut. It tasted like an iced Nanaimo bar but not as sweet (which was appreciated). Price was average and taste was good. -

I’ve tried a shampoo bar before and found it extremely messy so didn’t have high hopes for this one. But I was wrong! This shampoo bar was actually very good!! I already use Garnier honey treasures (liquid shampoo) so am already a fan of the brand, and really love that this concept is the Same shampoo I love but in an eco friendly way. here are my pros and cons.
Pros: great smell, compostable packaging, zero waste!!, lathers well, doesn’t leave messy residue all over ur shower, convenient to travel with, (just stuck it in a soap travel container!) and makes my hair feel clean after use.
Cons : honestly, my only complaint was that I noticed my hair wasn’t as shiny or moisturizer compared to the bottle type of this shampoo as mg hair felt kinda dry after use (granted 2x I didn’t use a conditioner after) . Because my hair is dry generally I need to use some sort of conditioner when washing my hair so I wonder if that might get complicated if garnier has to come out with a conditioner bar and how I would have to store it/tell the difference..
aside from all of that, this is an excellent concept, and I probably would purchase this again. (Maybe just purchase a conditioner to use after..)

I’m always a bit hesitant when I see the word ‘cleanse’ in beverage packaging as I tend to associate them with laxative teas.This tea was not that at all but a perfect blend of natural ingredients - that actually tastes yummy -in a vegan friendly temple pouch.
Pros: no artificial flavouring
-really enjoyed the warm blend of coconut which gave the tea a nice subtle sweetness
-super healthy, natural ingredients (dandelion root, ginger!) I love that you can actually see the ingredients in the pouches too!!
-claims to help with bloat & maybe it’s a placebo effect but I seriously felt less puffy after drinking this
-love that the packaging & bags are compostable
-ethical tea partnership
Cons:
-It takes a little bit longer to steep
Honestly, I can’t think of anything I didn’t like about this tea. Even the packaging was cute. I would recommend this, and will be buying another pack when I’m done with this one.

This is a great smelling, super moisturizing, non casket chapstick. I’ve gotten SOO many friends hooked on this stuff.
Pros: smells amazing (if u like warm cocoa scents), good value, decent amount of product, moisturizing, not sticky on lips, great base for lipsticks, multi benefit (u can use it as a body moisturizer too - so awesome for travelling)
Cons: I do find it very, very slightlyyyy sticky as a body moisturizer so I tend to use it just on my lips. This could be maybe because I don’t rub it in well enough.
Def recommend, I think I’m on my 4th container of this stuff! Picture has a mini glue stick, the cocoa butter stick and a normal size lip chap for Product size reference.

These are hands down one of my essential summer items. These flip flops are super comfortable (I’ve worn them to walk from my house to the beach - a good 45 walk downhill and they still held strong), affordable, come in array of colours to match your outfits/style and are just a great affordable staple to have on vacay or even around the house. The best part is that if they do break or wear down - it doesn’t hurt your wallet. I honestly can’t think of any cons. -

Pros: extremely moisturizing! I have combo skin, and this really moisturized the dryness around my eyes and nose from this winter weather we are having! Just with the first application I could feel a difference of moisture in my skin -my skin did feel slightly tighter after one full week of use (day and night) - I love the packaging, the glass jar made the product look and feel prestige. -the consistency and texture is nice and thick yet still easily melted into my skin, luckily it did not pill on me as some users mentioned. -it works well under my makeup, It didn???t feel greasy/filmy after application and my makeup did not slide off during the day -The red plankton actually do bring a rosy glow after application! I have a more olive complexion and this still made my cheeks (and forehead) temporarily rosy! Kinda neat to see the red plankton working Cons: although it was extremely moisturizing I did not personally find it did too much for my (beginnings of) fine lines and wrinkles - I will update this if I do see a difference over time. -Although a lot of users loved the smell I personally didn???t care too much for it. The rose smell seemed a little too mature for me, not a bad smell but would have preferred something softer/lighter. -it???s a good product, but there isn???t a lot in a jar, I have been using this cream for 2 weeks now and I???m more then half done.. -wish it had some sun/pre aging protection to it to save steps in the morning Verdict: would I purchase this again? I think I would but It would be something I would use seasonally (during the winter only) -
