This antiperspirant works okay for me but I still swear through on hot days and when I'm a bit nervous. This one has their skin matching technology/skin improving technology, but I think it's a gimmick. I haven't noticed my underarms looking any different with regular of this product versus others. Overall it's a decent antiperspirant but not particularly strong. -

As mentioned with the other parts of the Normaderm line, I was thrilled to get this given my breakouts this summer. I normally don't use a toner after washing my face (this is called a pore tightening lotion but it's more like a toner IMO).
I liked that it didn't smell too chemically and it seemed to take off some makeup residue which was nice. Overall my skin felt nice and fresh after using it but I don't think my pores actually look any smaller. It's a nice product but not sure it actually achieves its purpose.

As mentioned in one of my other reviews, I was having quite a few breakouts this summer so the timing was great for this.
I like the cleanser packaging and it was easy to dispense. I thought it did a good job of cleaning my face without over drying it. It didn't do a great job of removing my eye makeup so I still needed a separate remover for that. Overall, my skin felt clean but not tight after using this. It's a great basic cleanser but a little more than I would spend if I had to pay for it myself.

What great timing for this! My skin has been prone to breakouts this summer and I had several large pimples that were driving me nuts (I have combination skin). I used this product twice daily and found it was very helpful! After several weeks of use, my skin is overall clearer and there's only one small whitehead and a healing old one (from when I first started using this) on my face now. I'm very pleased!
It's a little drying but not too bad. Not irritating. I love the scent - very light and fresh. Easy to apply. The pump packaging makes it easy to control the amount and keeps the rest free of contamination.
I would definitely recommend this!

Heritage The Rock - 12" Fry Pan
Such a great pan! Found about this brand from some friends as I was getting tired of having to replace my T-Fal annually (I usually use nonstick but always have one non stick pan around for frying eggs, etc). Bought this from Canadian Tire (I've... +
Such a great pan!
Found about this brand from some friends as I was getting tired of having to replace my T-Fal annually (I usually use nonstick but always have one non stick pan around for frying eggs, etc). Bought this from Canadian Tire (I've also seen a small set at Costco). Wait for a sale since they are 70% off frequently so it'll be about $30-35 for a pan on sale. Works great! No issues with sticking and it cleans up well. The coating seems much more durable and hopefully less toxic than T-Fal so I'm pleased so far!

Works like classic Tide but in a convenient pre measured pod.
They're handy but I think they're really expensive. Personally I can't justify buying them on a regular basis but they do work as they're supposed to. I've used them in both regular and front loading machines. No issues with dissolving in either type of machine. I always wash in cold water. Spot treatment is still needed with these.

This is one of the least effective diaper creams I have used and I've tried many of the on the market!
It comes in both a tube and a tub packaging. The ingredient list is quite natural which is probably why it doesn't work - I find you need to have a reasonable concentration of zinc to keep rashes at bay or to treat a rash. If you're changing diapers like all the time, you may be fine, but I found that with changes every 3-4 hours and after each stool, this was not potent enough and my little one kept getting rashes. Had to toss the rest of the product out.

This is a steal when you can get it on sale and a good basic at regular price.
It works as a good basic zinc diaper cream, but the zinc content is not super high so I find it best as a preventative cream rather than a treatment cream. When I use this regularly, it's comparable to the regular strength zincofax or desitin. Applies smoothly.

I like Benefit products and the bronzer is a great colour - nice flow and not too orange looking. Gives a healthy colour to the face.
The main reason for the lower score is that the packing sucks. I agree with the previous comment about the cardboard cover. Who does that? Easily damaged and suboptimal in a bag or bathroom counter that gets wet! Definitely prefer the Nars bronzer and packaging to this one.

Great store for craft supplies but only if you've got a coupon!
I find their regular prices high, but I love buying things here without their weekly 40% off coupon. Very handy for parties, knitting/crocheting/crafts and even for baking! The supplies here allow you to be creative and the Wilton selection is excellent.
Customer service is minimal - best to know what you want.
