Dove Men + Care Hydrating Clean Comfort Body and Face Wash


Dove Men + Care Hydrating Clean Comfort Body and Face Wash has such a fabulous fresh scent that can be used by both men and women. My guy loves it and I do as well. 

My boyfriend can be very stinky when he comes home from work. This body wash combats the stink and he smells so fresh and clean after using it! The fresh scent lingers on his body even after he's showered. 

He also loves that it's a multi purpose product and he can use it on his face and body as he cannot be bothered with a separate face and body wash. It lathers up really well and leaves skin so soft, clean, and hydrated. I have personally been using Dove body products for over 30 years because they are the best and recommended by my dermatologist. 💯

About:
This body wash is specifically designed for men’s skin by the #1 dermatologist recommended men’s brand since 2013. Typical soap for men strips away oil and other essential skin components, leaving you with dry, flaky, and irritated skin. Dove Men+Care is a mild cleanser with plant-based moisturizers and skin-strengthening nutrients to help rebuild skin and skin proteins. Dove Men+Care Body and Face Wash is an easy-to-rinse, hydrating body wash that is clinically proven to fight dry skin better than a regular men’s body soap or shower gel. It is also gentle enough to use as a face wash for men. Clean Comfort features a fresh, crisp scent that will leave you feeling refreshed long after you shower.


You can never go wrong with Dove body products. The price is right and you really can't get much better than Dove when it comes to body care. It's simple yet effective 👌

Physicians Formula Butter Bronzer in Bronzer #Review




I finally "hit pan" on my Physician's Formula Butter Bronzer in the shade Bronzer. This bronzer definitely took time to grow on me. The formula is fabulous, it's soft and buttery just as the name implies. The shade can look a little muddy on me though because I find the Bronzer shade to be more of a contour shade, so I use a light hand. I like to bronze all over for a sunkissed look, because of this, I actually prefer bronzers with a bit of a red undertone to mimic a fake tan. I find the darker shade from this line "Dark Bronzer" (which is waiting patiently in the wings for me to use it) has more of a red undertone, so I prefer that one for an all over bronzed up look . These bronzers do have a sweet tropical scent which fades once applied. I'm really not offended nor sold by the scent. I actually prefer unscented beauty products but it wouldn't stop me from purchasing this product. 

My all-time favourite bronzer is still Laura Geller's Bronze n' Brighten and it's been my favourite for at least 10 years! But since I like to try new products, I had purchased the Butter Bronzers to give them a go. You never know if you'll find a new favourite, eh? Until I use this up, I will alternate my PF Butter Bronzers and my Laura Geller one, which I use in medium, btw.

Overall, the formula is fantastic and now there are 4 shades to choose from Light, Bronzer, Deep,  and Sunkissed, so there is something for everyone. Physician's Formula is a Cruelty-free brand. Plus, they are accessible and affordable if you wait for a sale. Right now all shades are half price at $7.69 on Amazon.com.

What's your favourite bronzer? 

Hope everyone has a great week ahead.

New! Live Clean Foaming Holiday Hand Soaps in Fresh Snow + Frosted Apple


Live Clean is back with their holiday hand soaps and they're better than ever! They have 2 new scents in their Foaming Hand Washes made just for the holidays; Frosted Apple and Fresh Snow. I don't know how they manage to capture these scents in bottles filled with all-natural goodness, but somehow they do!

I wash my hands A LOT and these hand soaps actually leave my skin clean but moisturized as they are loaded with skin softening, organic botanicals, and they're free from drying SLS and Sulfates, and also free from Triclosan (a possible hormone disruptor!).

I love both scents and I like that they are so different from each other so that there is something for everyone. Fresh Snow is as fresh and crisp smelling as they come. And, Frosted Apple smells like a fresh-baked apple pie with an extra dash of cinnamon.

As always, these products are all-natural, free of harsh chemicals, cruelty-free, effective, and affordable.

Frosted Apple Foaming Hand Wash 400ml / $4.99-$5.99

  • Frosted Apple smells like Freshly baked apple pie with an extra dash of cinnamon spice! This one should come with a warning as it may make you hungry :) 🍎
  • This one is also gentle yet effective and leaves my hands soft and moisturized
  • Also enriched with Vitamin E, Certified Organic Botanicals of Lavender, Chamomile, and Rosemary


Both scents linger just a little bit on my hands after washing, which I quite enjoy!

New! EcoTools Facial Mask Mates Review #maskmate


Featured Product:
EcoTools Facial Mask Mates 4 piece kit / SRP $7.99USD / $10.99CAD
-Includes Applicator brush and 3 mask remover sponges.

This kit is meant to make masking easier and less messy. You apply your mask with the applicator brush and remove your mask with the sponges (used wet).

Although I'm a huge fan of EcoTools and have used their products for years, I have to admit that when I first received this kit I thought it was gimmicky and something that I probably wouldn't use. However, after using it for my at home masking sesh, I was immediately proven wrong and totally sold! Read on to find out why...



The brush in the kit is amazing for a mess-free application! Not only do I not have to get my masks all over my hands but it also allows for a much more precise application. It also keeps things more sanitary as you don't have to stick your hands into your mask jars.

The brush is soft and the shape and size of it make it perfect for applying your mask the contours of your face.

I normally remove my masks with a baby washcloth and I thought that was good! The sponges included in the kit put my baby wash clothes to shame! The sponges are SUPER soft and gentle on the skin. Just add warm water and they easily wipe away your mask without having to scrub. They rinse clean very easily as well.

Tip: Use the mask remover sponges with your cleanser during your everyday skincare routine to remove dirt, oil, and makeup. The sponges will gently exfoliate your skin.


From EcoTools:

The FACIAL MASK MATES set is specially designed for an at-home spa facial experience. This set includes a Mask Applicator Brush + 3 Mask Remover Sponges.

The Mask Applicator Brush is designed with soft, flat bristles to evenly apply cream, gel, or clay masks for full coverage, mess-free. The Mask Remover Sponges, made from natural plant pulp, help to remove excess product while gently exfoliating the skin for a smoother, more radiant appearance.



Good to Know:
  • The brush has an environmentally-friendly bamboo handle and cruelty-free bristles
  • Reusable cellulose sponges are the same quality as those used by spas!
  • Mask Mates packaging can be used as a mixing and application bowl


Makes appliction so easy!
The brush helps with precise application. No more mask gunk in my hair!


Feeling impressed! 
I got a little sloppy with my brows but the sponges in the kit removed that in a pinch!


The mask I used here is 7th Heaven Dead Sea Mud Mask which is great for clearing out your pores and left my skin oh so soft! (Full review to come).


After wetting the sponge with warm water, it becomes super soft and removes the mask with ease.


I can't believe how much more gentle these sponges are compared to my baby wash clothes that I used to use. I am converted!

My face feels clean as a whistle and softer than a baby's butt! 👶


If I wasn't holding my camera to snap this picture, I'd be holding 2 thumbs up! 

This kit proved me so wrong- it's no gimmick! It absolutely makes masking easier and less messy which makes me want to mask more now. This kit has totally changed my masking game! I was often lazy about masking or just too tired, it felt like a chore because of how messy it could be. Not anymore! Now I want to mask all the time and I just know that my skin is going to thank me!

If you hate the mess of masking too, I bet you will LOVE this kit as well. If you decide to give this kit it a shot I'd love to hear what you thought! 💝


This product is available at select Rexall, Pharma Plus, Pharmasave, London Drugs, Guardian IDA, Lawtons Drugs, Proxim, Brunet, Familiprix, Uniprix stores.

Happy Friday, everyone!

Live Clean Holiday Hand Soaps: Holly Berry & Vanilla Peppermint


I'm so delighted that Live Clean's Holiday Hand Soaps are back!

I just love the festive packaging! It helps me get into the holiday spirit by adding a little holiday decor next to my vanity, and the beautiful scents remind me of the holidays, too. I keep one in my guest bath and the other in my master bathroom. The scents are perfect for this time of year. Vanilla peppermint smells just like it sounds, it's light, fresh, and soft. Holly Berry (my favourite) has a fresh berry scent. Both are delicious, it's just a matter of personal preference.
