I used this cleansing oil as the first step in my cleansing routine, to remove my makeup. I was pleasantly surprised to find how smooth this oil felt on my skin, and I also loved the fact that it lathered. It gave off a very luxurious feeling, almost as if I was having a facial done at a spa!
The results were fantastic, too. After I applied the oil, all my makeup had been effectively removed. After I rinsed with water, my skin was clean, supple, and ready for the next step in my routine: cleanser. After using this product, my skin feels soft and hydrated.
This product adds luxury and quality to my skincare routine. I would recommend it and would purchase again.

COVERGIRL Simply Ageless Lash Plumping Mascara

This mascara worked well to add volume to my lashes, but I found that it fell short when it came to lengthening my lashes. It would have been great if it had the ability to thicken and lengthen my lashes. I was able to apply it without any clumps and it does add another layer that adds to the illusion of volume. However, I felt my eyes could have "popped" more if this mascara had some lengthening effects, too. So, it does what it promises (plumps your eyelashes), but I wish it brought other benefits too. -
Batiste Light Scent Green Tea & Chamomile Dry Shampoo

I have hair that gets greasy the second day after I've washed it. Dry shampoo to the rescue for those greasy hair days. I especially enjoyed this one - the scent of chamomile is oh-so-smoothing and relaxing... it always reminds me of spring time. They have made it not only a refreshing scent here, but also a fresh one. This product works well to soak up the grease in my roots and makes it look like my hair was just washed. Very impressive results. I will continue to use and re-purchase in the future for my hair care needs. I would recommend this product to anyone who wants a good-smelling, effective dry shampoo! -
FLAWLESS FACIAL HAIR REMOVER, BLUSH

Usually hair removal products are big, clunky, and painful to use. I had yet to encounter an epilator that was actually small and painless to use - that is, until I got to try Finishing Touch Flawless Facial Hair Remover. The contraption is small, light, and user-friendly. You just click the switch to on and hold it to where you want your facial hair removed. What is cool is there is also a little light (but it's bright!) that comes on to help you see as you epilate. Very smart idea on the part of the company. Within a matter of minutes, I had gotten rid of my facial hair. The result was clean and very satisfying. Best of all, I felt no pain as the hair was being removed -- I am amazed at this. What a great invention. Portable, painless, easy... what more can you ask for in an epilator? I would highly recommend this product - it is incredibly effective! -

This Paw Patrol recycling truck is a very fun toy for my little one. He loves the dogs from Paw Patrol, so was beyond thrilled to be receiving this toy. Not to mention he also loves trucks! The back of the truck opens and there is a little space where my son likes to put his smaller toys in. He enjoys opening up the back door, inserting toys in it, closing it, and then opening it back up again to dump out the toys. He also puts the puppy in the front as the driver and runs the truck along our floor. I always hear him laughing and giggling when he plays with this toy, so I know he finds it entertaining and delightful. What a lovely toy for young ones everywhere. This is one of my son's favorite toys, and for good reason! Would recommend to others! -

I received this game with excitement, as my little one's favourite animal is dogs.
We played the game together with him. The board is very colourful and the instructions were easy to follow. The set up of the shower and the dog was also simple and hassle-free.
The best part was, of course, the little doggy shaking! My little one squealed and laughed with delight as the doggy shook its body, spraying out droplets of water. He kept turning the knob to have the doggy continue shaking. He found this very amusing.
Overall, this was a very entertaining game with cute props that will surely entertain and amuse little children. I would definitely recommend. It is definitely one of the most frequent games we play as a family now!

Garnier Whole Blends Oat Delicacy Softening Shampoo Bar

I thought this shampoo bar was an innovative idea. I had never heard of a shampoo bar before and was curious to see how it compared with regular shampoo.
Upon first use, it took a little bit of time for me to apply the product to my wet hair before I could work up a lather. Once I got the lather going though, I felt the consistency of the product was like regular shampoo.
After rinsing, my hair felt very clean and not full of grease as it had been before washing. This product is a great degreaser. Upon drying, my hair felt smooth and manageable.
Overall, I thought this product performed well. It's a very eco friendly way to wash your hair as there is no waste after you use up the bar. I probably would purchase again if the product was on sale.

My toddler absolutely loved these monster trucks! They are colourful, detailed, well-designed, and serve their purpose beautifully, providing loads of fun for my active toddler! The wheels run very smoothly and when pushed on a hard surface, can go quite far depending on the strength of the push. My toddler loves playing with these monster trucks and they give him a healthy dose of entertainment. I am happy to see him playing with physical toys instead of being entertained by a screen, so that is a definite bonus. This is child's play at its best, and I would recommend these monster trucks for any toddler who loves vehicles! -

I really enjoyed the taste of Flora plant-based bricks. It is rich and creamy, very close to resembling butter - but the plus is that this product is made from plants, not animals. As someone who is trying to reduce their intake of animal products, this was a definite benefit for me. I did not feel like I was "compromising" when I substituted this product for regular butter. The salty taste is just right, not under or overly so. Overall, a very nice balance. I used it to spread on my bread and am satisfied with the results. I am looking forward to trying it in my baking as well to see how it performs.
While I do like this product, the only thing that would discourage me from purchasing it again is its limited availability -- I was only able to locate this product at Whole Foods, which is a little out of the way for me.
Overall, though, I would recommend Flora Plant-Based Bricks to anyone who is looking to reduce their consumption of animal products/trying to lessen their carbon footprint.

As a person who has stayed away from milk because I had trouble digesting it and didn't feel good after drinking the traditional kinds of milk, I decided to give A2 milk a try. The taste was creamy, smooth, and went down my throat nicely. After drinking the milk, my stomach did not upset like before... there were no issues that arose after my consumption of the milk! I was very happy with this as it means I have discovered a milk that I can actually drink without feeling ill. I had no idea I was sensitive to the A1 protein. I will continue to purchase this milk in the future! -
