Vichy Pureté Thermale Hydrating and Cleansing Foaming Cream

It cleans well, but it wasn't for me. I have slighly dry skin, and found the cleanser left my skin feeling tight. It's the middle of summer, and I had to load up on oils just to make my skin feel better. I generally prefer cleansing milks, but thought I'd give this Vichy one a try. Sadly, will have to give it to my family members instead. -
Muji Cut Cotton
I don't like using the cheap cotton rounds/balls on my face, as it's rough and leaves cotton streaks. I've been a long-time user of the Shiseido cut cotton, and tolerated its price (~$11CAD for 165 pcs). I tried the Quo brand of facial cotton, and... +
I don't like using the cheap cotton rounds/balls on my face, as it's rough and leaves cotton streaks. I've been a long-time user of the Shiseido cut cotton, and tolerated its price (~$11CAD for 165 pcs). I tried the Quo brand of facial cotton, and while it was cheaper (~$7), quality just wasn't the same. I tried out the Muji cotton one day, and was immediately impressed. At $3.50CAD for a bag (also 165pcs), I purchased one to try out. Amazing! Same quality as the Shiseido product, but at a fraction of the price. -

As a woman in her early/mid 30s, I'm definitely on the lookout for early wrinkles. Luckily - don't have much, but chose this serum to keep them at bay (especially the lines around my eyes). Darphin recommends 3 pumps for face and neck for a more intensive treatment. For regular use (and to keep my wallet happier), I use 1 pump, and it's enough for my entire face. Love the scent, and definitely removes any tight feeling -
Women’s ROGAINE® Foam 5%

I was super excited to try this, as I've noticed some thinning at the top of my head. However, after just 2 days, I started developing a rash. I'm not sure which ingredient triggered the allergic reaction, as I've used other products before with no adverse effects. This product wasn't for me - too bad! Price wise, not terrible. Approx $60 for a 3 months supply. $20/mo seems reasonable for a head full of hair, even if it has to be used long term. -
Neutrogena Hydro Boost Water Gel Sunscreen SPF 50
Absorbs quickly, and nice fresh scented. Doesn’t smell like sunscreen (y’all know what I mean!). I would use it on my body, but probably not on my face, as it’s a bit too greasy for that area. Decently priced and affordable. Everyone should be... +

Campbells Pho Broth
I think the name “pho broth” is very misleading. Tastes nothing like the real thing. Can it be used as a soup base for noodle dishes? Definitely... but not as versatile as beef/chicken broth. Will not be repurchasing

NEUTROGENA® All-in-One Make-Up Removing Cleansing Wipes

I'm generally not a fan of face wipes, but will use them on occasion (e.g., late nights, or post-gym). Unlike other brands of face wipes that end up "distributing" makeup around the face, this one felt like it actually lifted it off. That said, I am not a heavy makeup user - no foundation. Anyhow, would definitely repurchase, just to toss in my gym bag, for a post-workout refresher. -

So glad I was able to try the cream, as I've seen it in stores lately. I thought it would be light, but it was more moisturizing that I thought. Excellent for this extended winter we're experiencing in Toronto. That said, I still needed to layer on additional serums/oils, as my skin has been parched the last few days. -
MusclePharm Combat Protein Powder Cookies and Cream

I switched to plant-based protein powder for a couple years, until my fave brand changed up the formula. On a whim, I decided to try the MP Combat Cookies and Cream flavor (i mean, who doesn't like cookies n cream?). I haven't used whey protein in a long time, mostly due to flavor. To my surprise, the cookies n cream flavor was quite decent! I don't have the urge to throw up afterwards. It tastes fine when I mix it with water, but amazing when I'm at home and have coconut milk or almond milk on hand. -
PowerBar Plant Protein Cashew, Salted Caramel and Dark Chocolate
I thought the cashew flavor was ok - definitely preferred the almonds. Found the bar VERY cunchy/chewy. Almost got tired of eating it towards the end. The price is decent - averages to about $1.20/bar if you purchase it from Costco (Ontario prices)... +
I thought the cashew flavor was ok - definitely preferred the almonds. Found the bar VERY cunchy/chewy. Almost got tired of eating it towards the end. The price is decent - averages to about $1.20/bar if you purchase it from Costco (Ontario prices). Glad I was selected to try this for free. I may add it to my rotation of bars that I purchase - but definitely will not be my "go-to". -
