Colgate® PerioGard Gum Care + Enamel Rebuild Toothpaste

12/02/2024

I have always struggled with gum inflammation and even bleeding gums, but this toothpaste has significantly reduced these issues. It also has a much fresher taste than most targeted toothpastes. I have also noticed the difference in tooth sensitivity between using this product and using a generic toothpaste. Very happy overall but not sure why they chose the name they did. Does not come across as very appealing when searching the shelves in store.


onn. True Wireless Stereo (TWS) Wireless Earbuds with Charging Case

19/08/2023

I was really impressed that wireless earbuds of this quality and with these features could be purchased at such a low price point. Of course, these earbuds do not have groundbreaking sound and music does lack a bit of depth. But overall, these are great for everyday use when you don’t want to spend a fortune. I really like how well the tap features work! These earbuds are actually more responsive than my other, (more expensive), earbuds! Great feature. For me, there was a couple of design features that could be improved on this product. Firstly, the case does not magnetically clip shut. This was annoying when the earbuds were in a bag and the slightest rummage meant the case was coming undone. Secondly, I wish the charging indicator was red to green, rather than red to nothing. This is a small issue but made me constantly wonder whether the earbuds were charging at all. Overall I really like these as an option to carry around with me for standard listening and podcasts.


Kicking Horse Coffee Medium Roast Ground

18/09/2022

This has to be one of my favourite coffees! The smoothness of the blend makes this a coffee that is enjoyable at any time of the day! The medium roast leaves no bitterness to the taste, just the perfect taste of a delicious coffee!


Ethical Bean Fair Trade Organic Coffee Medium Dark Roast Ground

16/09/2022

I really enjoy the intensity of this coffee! This is the kind of coffee that you want first thing in the morning as a pick me up! The medium dark roast gives it some strength but it does have a slight bitterness to it.


COVERGIRL Trunaked Palette Expansion Eye Shadow Palette (Sunsets 830)

25/07/2022

Overall I was impressed with this palette for the price point. However, some of the shades are not very pigmented and others look pretty similar to one another when applied. This just means that the looks you can create are relatively limited. This is a fun palette to play with though, and I didn’t get any creasing throughout the day. You do also get a dual end applicator in with the palette.


Wet n Wild Color Icon 10-Pan Palette Pink (Heart & Sol)

25/07/2022

Overall, I was really impressed with this product, especially for the price point! There’s a great variety of shades and the shimmers are absolutely stunning! The colours are very pigmented and were relatively easy to blend. All of the shades were buttery soft and easily buildable. Even though I do like this product and would recommend it, there are some not so good things about it. Firstly, there was quite a bit of fallout, but this was to be expected for the price point. Secondly, I find it very odd that 4 of the shades are ‘not for use around eyes! And finally, it’s very hard to open the palette, so the packaging could do with some improvement!


Finishing Touch Flawless Facial Hair Remover

08/07/2022

There are a lot of positives when it comes to this product! It’s great to carry on the go, it’s impossible to cut yourself with it, and it works wonders on those pesky hairs on fingers and toes! However, I usually use a dermaplaning wand and this battery operated hair remover just doesn’t get as close to the skin. This leaves a stubbly feeling straight after use. I now use a dermaplaning wand when at home, and carry this product in my bag for when I may need it out and about. I think this is the perfect tool for a teen or younger adult!


ATTITUDE Natural Body Wash EWG Verified Gentle on Sensitive Skin Hypoallergenic Shower Gel Regenerating Lemon Leaves 473 mL

06/07/2022

Overall this product works well, but I don't enjoy using it as much as other natural body washes that I have tried! The scent is refreshing but should be a little stronger! And compared to other products in a similar category, this body wash does not leave my skin feeling as soft! You also need quite a bit of this product if you like a real lather when washing! Even though this product is not my favourite, it is still a product that I enjoy using and I would not be against purchasing in the future.


J.R. Watkins Lemon Cream Natural Daily Moisturizing Body Wash Hydrating Shower Gel for Men and Women

06/07/2022

I am absolutely in love with this product! The smell is sensational, (just like lemon pie), and my skin feels baby soft after use. If I really had to think of something that I didn’t like about this product, it would be the lid. Mine broke quite easily, but this would not stop me from buying this product. I especially love how the scent of this product lasts after showering! I definitely prefer this compared to the other leading brand that I usually use. A winner for me!


Dove 0% Aluminum Déodorant for smooth underarms Cucumber & Green Tea cruelty-free 74 g

07/04/2022

So far I’ve not yet managed to find a 0% aluminium deodorant that provides me with enough odour protection and long lasting freshness. But this was unfortunately one of the worst! Mid way through the day I would notice that I no longer smelled very fresh and I just can’t trust this product when I’m spending time out of the house. It’s such a shame as I love the stick application, the scent when applied is incredible and I always use Dove anti-perspirants usually!


NIVEA Fresh Pure 0% Aluminum 48H Dry Roll On Deodorant 50ml

07/04/2022

Overall I’m not a huge fan of this product! I really want to make the move away from an anti-perspirant to a 0% aluminium deodorant, but unfortunately I’ve not yet found an effective enough product! By the end of the day, I no longer feel fresh and it doesn’t provide me with enough odour protection! Although I am not a fan of this product, it is more effective than other 0% aluminium products that I have tried! So maybe it’s just the type of product that doesn’t work for my body! Other things to note is that the scent is not great! It smells like chemicals! And I’m not a fan of the liquid rollerball application as it takes forever to dry!


Pepsi Zero Sugar, 710mL Bottles, 6 Pack

13/03/2022

Compared to other competitors, Pepsi has really nailed the zero sugar taste! I'm usually not a fan of soda without the sugar, but this option tasted great! I think I actually prefer it to regular Pepsi! I only gave 4 stars due to the lack of fizz! Maybe the product just got to me flat! I'm not sure I would buy again as I still prefer other full sugar options!


Batiste Dry Shampoo

05/05/2021

This is a staple item of mine! One of those things that I cannot live without! I constantly find myself in situations where I'd love to wash my hair but it's simply not possible. (Camping, drinks straight after work etc) Having this with me instantly solves the problem and adds so much volume at the same time! Spray and massage et voila! Love this!
