I got a couple bags of this because it was on sale (buy one get one free) at a local pet food store retailer. Aside from the price (after BOGO), I was attracted to the product because it is made of chunks of chicken and nothing else. It was also lightweight so I thought that would be a great bonus - so I thought indeed.
Once i brought it home, my puppy loved it. However, this stuff crushes really easily! Fully understanding that this is a freeze dried product, there is no water content left behind to hold us the treat structurally. Fine. But by about half-way, we were basically left with a bag of chicken shavings that were getting harder and harder to use as treats to train my pup.
Likely will be looking for something else to train with (especially outside of home), but would recommend because of the simple ingredients.

I've used this product for a long time, and always felt it worked great. Great at cleaning things, durable material that can withstand some scrubbing action. However, as I've started to use this more recently on my floors for spills, dirt and grime, I've noticed it actually leaves behind this film...and I'm not sure I love it.
The lemony smell is also a great plus - better than most other smells from other brands.

Essence cosmetics has always been put away in this weird corner of my local drugstore, but over the Christmas holidays, I came upon their display (finally) as I've started to more intentionally look for their products. The counter was low key, and I only wanted to try the lip liner because it had been recommended as a good value product by a beauty guru youtuber.
I've tried my hand at other drugstore brand lip liners before, and those have always been hit or miss. My complain is that they're usually too hard (being pencil), so the application has never been easy. No worries, went in with an open mind - afterall, worst case scenario, I lose $1.99 on this product.
When I got around to trying it back at home, it was pretty awesome. The product takes a little bit of time (say 10-15 seconds?) to warm up, and the formula is a little bit dry. All that being said, however, it is simply unbeatable value for what you get. I wear this lip liner almost every day now, and works great as a base for other less long-lasting lip products to sit on top. I also combine this with a lip oil/gloss every so often, and find the lip liner (used to fill in the whole lip, not just line) really helps to extend longevity of products that typically just smear or fade with food and drink.
Keep in mind this is a $2 lip liner - the quality won't be like NARS (I love their lip crayons), but is a great everyday alternative. Highly recommend and I hope they don't phase this out of their product line up. Wish they had more colours, but what they currently offer are the most basic pinks / berries which, again, is perfect for everyday applications.

Olay Age Defying Classic Eye Gel

Title says it all - I found this eye gel pretty basic. It helps with mositurizing the eye area, but I also did not notice any other amazing effects to that area beyond that.
The gel glides on nicely and dries quickly. However, I have found it feels a bit tight on some extra dry days, which pulls and tugs a bit. I think this is a good starter eye gel for those trying new products which is why I’ve been using the product for a couple months now. It also travels nicely which is a plus - addressing extra dry skin from recycled airplane air.

I saw this on sale for half off at my local drugstore and decided to pick up a bottle to try. I had been using the sensibo micellar water up to this point and I love how it cleans my face and how my face feels after.
However that’s not totally the case with this product. It works relatively well for everyday make up, though I find I need to go over areas multiple times to pick up everything. Does not do eye make up removal well, and definitely need another remover to help (sensibo is fine with eye liner and easy mascara, this was not).
Also do not recommend using this to remove lip product because it tastes quite gross and stays on your lips unless you scrub or clean otherwise.
All that being said, it is a fraction of he price for sensibo and therefore is recommended for anyone seeking a reliable budget friendly micellar water to remove make up.

I’ve been using this product almost exclusively as my foundation for years. I have really sensitive skin and this is the only foundation that hasn’t left me with breakouts or a terrible rash! The coverage is medium and feels great throughout the day. It blends really nicely and is forgiving when it comes to blending - I’ve used my fingers, a brush, and a sponge and all of those have worked well. There is also a wide selection of shades and tones which is really helpful for someone more pale with a yellow undertone like me. -

I bought the product because it came with simple instructions on how to use each colour in the palette. However, some cons:
(1) Brush that it comes with is small and not useful at all
(2) colour payoff is not very good - I had quite a bit of fall out
(3) the colours are similar and with poor colour payoff, makes them all about the same to me
I wish the product was better quality and would recommend maybe something from L’Oréal instead.

The hydrating bubble mask is interesting to use especially the first time. Once you massage the product onto your face, bubbles will start to form; the drying time (for the bubbles to disappear) seems to vary for me. When you wash the product off, it leaves the skin softer and not dry (no tugging feeling even after I left my face dry after the mask without immediately moisturizing). Recommend to use this after an exfoliating product, to help moisturize deeper.
There are some higher end products out there that have similar cleansing approaches, and I found the price of this product easier to try than others.
