Tazo Calm Chamomile Herbal Tea
I would make this at work after lunch since I drink coffee in the morning. This is perfect because there's less caffeine than coffee and the taste is so light and fragrant!

I have very acne prone, acne-scarring, and oily skin. This product is a morning moisturizer that actually might have everything I'm looking for. It has 1.5% salicylic acid to help with pimples and claims to help with dilated pores, recurrent shine, dull complexion, and redness/uneven tone. There's no SPF, but I have a daily facial sunscreen anyways so it doesn't matter to me!
I have only used it for 2 days so I can't really speak on how well it works on pimples and dilated pores. However, it really did help with shine. I noticed that I was looking less oily today! The texture is a lightweight gel that is marketed as a 24-hour hydrating lotion. It absorbed very quickly but didn't feel like other gel lotions where the moisture seems to disappear immediately. I have oily skin, so I don't know how this will feel on dry skin, but I felt moisturized the entire day! In my opinion, it felt more moisturizing than the Neutrogena Hydro Boost Water Gel, but it absorbs into the skin just as quickly.
I wore this under makeup and there were no problems with it. It kind of feels like a primer after it's blended in, my skin looked a little blurred and felt very smooth. There's also a very slight cooling sensation when applied. It's an oil free and paraben free lotion, which is a plus!

A couple years ago it was hard to find a good facial sunscreen in Canadian stores that wasn't greasy, heavy, or clogs your pores. My only choice was to look to the asian skincare market since there were more options. So I'm happy that this Vichy sunscreen is very comparable to my favourite asian sunscreen (Biore)! It's so great to see a good sunscreen option that's easily accessible for Canadians (can be found in Shoppers Drug Mart)!
The sunscreen is SPF 60 (both UVA and UVB protection) and claims to be an anti-shine/dry-touch lotion. I have oily skin, and this sunscreen did help a bit with oil control throughout the day. It blended into my skin very easily and dried immediately to a soft matte finish. It didn't dry out my skin though, it actually felt like a moisturizer! There were no white marks left behind and it feels very lightweight on the skin. I wore it under makeup today and had no issues with it! It makes for a great daytime sunscreen, I would recommend! I'll probably switch to this sunscreen when my Biore sunscreen runs out, since I have to get the Biore one from China and they both feel lovely on the skin.

CeraVe Moisturizing Cream
I have oily skin, but this is a LIFESAVER when it comes to Canadian winters. It’s very moisturizing and I find that it gives me a slight skin blurring effect!

Ferrero Rocher
One of my favourite chocolates, it’s not too sweet and I like the nut/chocolate combination. It’s my go to gift for co-workers, friends, and family. I don’t know anyone who doesn’t like it!

Peripera Ink Velvet Inktude Lip Tint
Extremely flattering and stays on when taking shots. Doesn’t stay when eating oily foods but I don’t think any lipstick (liquid or stain) will. I always get compliments when wearing it and it smells good too.

Lysol Disinfecting Wipes Citrus
My roommates are messy in the kitchen there are crumbs and tomato paste stains and grease on the counter. Nasty. This wipe makes everything better. Cleans everything, smells good, and my counters are white again. I can finally live.

Everyone online talks about how bad this highlighter is. I got it as a tiny sample and I’ve been using it for yearssss. I scraped off the top layer and I apply it with a smaller fluffy eyeshadow brush and it glowssss. I have a LOT of highlighters but this one gives such a melted metal/ reflective glow that is so flattering. Love it so much. You really have to use the right kind of brush though. -
