So happy I found this little gem tucked away in the drugstore. I have not used too many ELF products as I found them to be suspiciously cheap. I was not expecting much from this but it has surpassed my expectations by a long shot. The staying power of this stuff on my oily skin is unheard of. I haven't even seen this kind of staying power in higher end brow products. I dip my brush in the wax then pick up a small amount of powder. I think its the wax that is especially useful for me. Keeps the brows coloured and looking well groomed all day. The case is nice and small to slip into my makeup bag. The little brush it comes with is garbage but otherwise, a great brow product! Well done ELF! -

I do enjoy this moisturizer as a basic, no frills daytime lotion under makeup. There is nothing particularly special about it. I do find it is slightly mattifying. The reason I have repurchased this several times is it sits well under makeup and pairs nicely with a couple drops of jojoba oil. Price is reasonable. Highly spreadable so a little does go a long way. All in all, a good basic option for oily skin. -

They weren't kidding when they named this a foaming cream. This is by far the foamiest face wash I have ever used. I use this at night only as the second step in the double cleansing method. A little dab goes a long way and I do find this deep cleans my skin thoroughly. This can be on the drying side so I would not be using this if I wasn't oily skinned as this would be way too much for someone with normal, or even combination skin. Price is not bad. While I do prefer a scent-free face wash, this one has a light, fresh smell that is very pleasant and not at all overwhelming for me. Will (and have!) repurchased. -

Purchased this on a whim at Walmart one day and I am glad I did. I have purchased several bottles of MAC Cleanse Off Oil over the years and thought that was my favourite cleaning oil. Don't get me wrong, its good stuff but this works identically for me at a fraction of the price of MAC. This oil also smells better than the MAC. It has a rose scent which I find lovely. Breaks down makeup easily with only one pump of cleanser. This product also does emulsify which I like and rinses cleanly. I apply this as a first step in my double cleanse. Apply one pump to dry skin, massage thoroughly so it has time to break down all the makeup then wash away with a warm, wet washcloth. I then follow up with my foaming facial cleaner. Skin is left refreshed and makeup free. Absolutely will be repurchasing in lieu of my MAC Cleanse Off Oil going forward. -

I love using rosehip seed oil as my night time facial moisturizer. I remove makeup, wash my face then pat dry slightly with a towel then apply 2-3 drops of this in a patting motion on my slightly damp face. It is a dry oil texture so it absorbs almost instantly. I am not left feeling greasy after applying this oil. It is intensely nourishing and gives the skin a bright, clear look come morning. It is said to aid in cell renewal and is also great for maturing skin. This has certainly helped to balance my oily skin. It does not have much of a scent to it. When purchasing rosehip seed oil you should be looking for an oil that is dark orange to red in colour. If it is clear, it is likely not very good quality. -

I love me some jojoba oil! I have oily, acne prone skin that also dehydrates very easily which causes more clogs and breakouts which leaves me trapped in a never-ending vicious circle. Jojoba oil is close in structure to our skin's own natural sebum so it helps to "trick" the skin into thinking it has produced enough oil to moisturize the skin. This ultimately leads to more balanced skin. Hydrates deeply and does not leave a greasy sheen. Jojoba oil is not supposed to cause breakouts but I do find everyone is different so this could cause breakouts/clogs if not used properly. You should only be using 1-3 drops at a time. If you pat this onto your skin and notice your skin is still feeling greasy after about 5 minutes, you've used too much! I like to add two drops to my regular daytime moisturizer to give it an extra boost of hydration. Works wonderfully. Hooray for balanced skin! -

I really enjoy Voluspa candles and have purchased many different scents over the years. They are on the pricier side but they do appear to be made of high quality waxes that burn slowly and cleanly so I do find they last a long time. The range of scents are unique and inventive so there will be something for everyone. Highly scented but not overwhelmingly so. I also love the packaging of these candles. They come in the prettiest tins and jars that can be reused around the home. Love! -

I purchased this because I like the idea of using a natural option for laundry but I did not care for this at all. I don't have an issue with the fact that it doesn't have a scent but I did not find it effective at cleaning the clothes. It did dissolve well in hot and cold water, I will give it that but otherwise it was less effective than I would have liked. Will use up the tin but will not repurchase. -

This is my favourite mouth wash. I purchased this originally as it had high reviews online as an oral moisturizer. I suffer from chronic dry mouth as a result of some medication I take and this has helped greatly. It is alcohol free so I don't experience a burning sensation when I use this. It moisturizes the mouth well and provides a light, fresh spearmint taste. I use this in conjunction with my air flosser in the evening and also keep a small bottle in my purse to use once mid-day. It is on the expensive side but it is a high quality product from a high quality brand that I trust so I will continue to buy. The bottle is also very innovative. You squeeze the bottle and the correct amount of mouthwash flows into the top portion. The top portion is also marked with measurements so you get the exact amount you want every time. -

Dawn blue dish soap is a wonder product. I use it to wash dishes obviously but it can be used for so much more! A few tablespoons mixed with vinegar in a spray bottle is the best shower cleaner ever! Gets rid of stuck on hard water stains and soap scum! I also use this as an all purpose degreaser. Wonderful product. I will always have a bottle on hand. -
