Love this product. The Canadian and European version uses salicylic acid (unlike the American version which has benzoyl peroxide). I like that this doesn't bleach my pillows. It's gentle and I can use it on a daily basis to keep my pores clear. Nice texture, great under makeup. Nice tube package. One of my staples! -

Sorry, don't get the hype. I'm going back to my Veil primer which is totally amazing.
This one applies smoothly since it's full of silicones. It didn't do anything for my makeup though. There was no difference in the lifespan of my foundations, my skin still got shiny at the usual time, and there's makeup transfer. The worst part was plugged pores on my forehead. Definitely a pass.

This stuff really works. I use this when I know there's an important event coming up and i really don't want any sweat showing. Rest for summer as well when you're wearing a lot of sleeveless tops.
I find it a little strong though - even when I follow the instructions (use in the evening, not after shaving), I find it still burns my skin. Can't use it regularly but it's great to keep around.

Boba 4g Baby Carrier

My baby did not like to be put down so this was a lifesaver for the early months (3-12 months)... we've actually used it recently as a backpack carrier and he's now 3!
I love the Boba designs and this is a great soft carrier - easily adjustable and comfortable. The hood pocket is very convenient and the newborn insert is nice. I much prefer it to the Ergo since it's a little cushion as opposed to a giant wrap, so the Boba is perfect if you're having a spring/summer baby.
Totally worth the money and one of my favorite baby purchases... I did a lot of research and the Boba and the Beco were my preferred carriers for newborns/infants.

I'm glad that I had the chance to try this through this promotion since the regular price would have been too steep for me to buy it randomly. It was a little hard to find - it seemed to only be in a couple of Shoppers and Superstore locations near me. The tub is large and hopefully will last awhile (retail price $13-$18).
Great scent and texture - love the creamy consistency and it isn't too greasy. It's definitely heavier than my usual body lotions but I found this worked well on my feet and hands overnight. The scent is very pleasant and not overpowering. I think this will work well as a winter body moisturizer.

This is an effective silicone type of serum that definitely smooths out frizzies and flyaways. I find it is quite heavy though so I have to use a very small amount otherwise my hair is super flat. It does give a very nice smooth and sleek look to straight hair and my hair is very shiny when using it. A little goes a long way, so although it is pricey, the bottle lasts almost a couple of years for me with regular use. There is a strong scent upon application but fades quickly. -

Lovely fresh smell - the apricot and honey combination is just perfect! Nice layering when used with the body wash.
I think this is an okay product, mainly because I don't care for the packaging. I much prefer a closed pump system. Pumps are more hygienic and there's less mess/easier to control the amount.
Aside from the packaging concerns, the lotion itself is quite nice. It's smooth and absorbs quickly. It's a nice scent for the summer months. I used this on my legs and arms and it did a good job of moisturizing without being heavy. My hands need a heavier cream or more frequent application of this though.
Overall, I think there are better body lotions out there, especially considering the small package size.

Love this!
The whole box for this product review smelled amazing upon opening the mail! Such a nice treat. Aveeno makes great quality products and this is no exception. Smooth consistency that is nice to use it the shower. The scent is pleasant and not overpowering. My skin was smooth and not tight after using it and I liked that it was clean rinsing. Since I have combination skin (oily back, dry legs and arms), I thought this balanced cleaning and hydration well. No gunky residue on my skin. Great body wash!

So impressed with this line up of protein bars from PowerBar. They have upped their game with these - I love the nutritional value of these (moderate fat, low sugar, high protein, moderate fibre). Perfect for a snack or after a long run for me.
I liked both the taste and texture. The taste is nice with the chocolate/peanut butter combo and not too sweet. I feel like I'm eating a healthy chocolate bar. The texture is a standout. Much smoother and less dry/chalky than other brands. This is a huge plus! Pleasant to eat. Currently beats out my usual brand (Luna bars) on many levels!

PowerBar ProteinPlus Reduced Sugar Lemon Poppy Seed

This is delicious! The lemon flavour is refreshing and totally reminds me of one of my favorite Luna bars, but even better!
My whole family loved these. Great size, satisfying and filling. Great for a snack on the go or also for me after a run. I really liked the flavour and the texture is soft and chewy. It didn't have that dry or cardboard type texture. I was pleased with the nutritional content on the label - good sound of protein and fibre and low in sugar.
I #gotitfree to try as part of the Chickadvisor product review club. Loved this so much that I will be buying them from now on!
