I buy a mix of drugstore and professional sunscreens. La Roche Posay's Anthelios ultra light fluid is a great option. It doesn't aggravate my acne and I don't get much darkening of my pre-existing spots when using this. It works well under make up. I also like that it's fragrance free. I occasionally have issues with it pilling up under my primer, but otherwise I am quite happy with it. It's in my regular rotation in the summer. -

I wash my hair every other day and sometimes my roots can look a little greasy on the second day. I have tried many dry shampoos over the years and my major problem is the white residue and uneven application on my dark roots.
This was a great option - the spray goes on evenly and you can easily control the amount. The scent was summery and strong initially, but wasn't bad by the time I left the house. No white residue!
I would definitely wait for a sale. The regular price is too high. The sale price is reasonable and similar to other brands on the market.
I #gotitfree from Chickadvisor's product review club and redeemed my coupon at London Drugs.

I #gotitfree to try as part of the Chickadvisor Product Review Club. I regularly use primer... my skin is combination with an oily t-zone so that area gets quite shiny during the day.
I found that this primer was a nice smooth base for my foundation and it did not cause any balling underneath. Its ability to control shine was not as good as my current primer (Mineral Veil) and I also don't like that it does not have any SPF. I did like the silicone free base and it didn't clog my pores.

Corelle Dinner Ware

I used Corelle dishes for years when I first moved out. They’re light, mostly unbreakable (I did shatter one when I dropped one on porcelain tiles) and inexpensive. Microwave safe. Lots of design options from plain to patterned.
I no longer use them since I prefer something more substantial now, but these are great dishes and they lasted me for a decade and still looked great when I passed them on.

Ok, I had to buy this when it appeared day my local Costco this week - 2 x 1 kg tubs on Kirkland hazelnut chocolate spread (aka Nutella) for $10 bucks? I’m in!
Opened this big boy right when we got home and it was perfect! Smooth, creamy and delicious right off the spoon :) It seems to have a touch more hazelnut and is a little less sweet than Nutella.
Delicious - definitely will continue to pick this up... although I may need to size up in my wardrobe size if I buy too many ;)

I like my laundry to have no scent or a light scent after washing and drying. This product is way too intense. When I use the recommended amount, I had a headache and my family hated the laundry. I ended having to re-wash the load. Even with half the recommended amount of fragrance, I still find it too strong. The scent does last though. Not my cup of tea and I would not repurchase. -

This has a milky colour with a light texture. I found the scent a bit too strong for me personally, so I don’t think I would repurchase it. It’s a light serum that absorbed into my skin and it seemed to provide light moisturization for my combination skin. If you have dry skin, you would likely need something a little heavier. -
Lindt Lindor Milk Chocolate Bar
This is a great chocolate bar if you like milk chocolate. Lindt is one of my favourite mainstream chocolate brands. It goes on sale regularly and this one is smooth, creamy and very satisfying. Love it!

I’m getting older so I’m trying out some other lines to see if I can slow down the process... this is a great light serum. My skin is still a combination type and I’ve been happy with this. The hyaluronic acid seems to really work too plump up the skin around my eyes and the surface fine lines. Love it!
Just wish it was a little cheaper!

I #gotitfree as part of the Chickadvisor product review club.
I prefer the shampoo to the conditioner. I have straight fine hair with intermittent dandruff. My hair tends to go flat but also has dry ends. It’s hard to find a moisturizing conditioner that doesn’t weigh my hair down. Unfortunately, this had the worst combination of weighing it down but still leaving my ends looking frizzy :(
It’s a pass for me.
