Product empties and reviews # 1

Let's just be clear right from the start... Many of these products are from Tiber River and I am absolutely obsessed with Tiber river because their products are free from chemical nasties, they smell amazing and you can feel good using the stuff on your body. 

 Let's start with the sweet pits deodorant: 

Natural deodorant was something I was completely skeptical of before this product... I've tried many of them just to get rid of aluminum under the arms because it's been linked to breast cancer... and if I can do anything to save my skin and myself from that you better believe I'm going to do it. 

Most natural deodorants don't work. They arent meant to stop you from sweating but to help with the smell. This deodorant from Tiber River is a bit different because you apply with your fingers, using a small scoop you rub the product into your armpit. 

They have many different scents available they even have one that has no scent at all (Raw). I was worried about whether or not this would actually work, but to my surprise it really does. Even on days where I am working out or running around with the kids at school, it even works in the hot summer time. This product is sold for about $10, it is free from harsh chemical that you should not have anywhere near your skin, it smells great, and it works...you need to buy it!!! 

The next product from Tiber river that I am going to talk about is the shower shake.This particular one is the "honey do" scent which is a really light fruity fresh scent. My all time favourite shower shake is Spring Fling (girly, floral, and sweet) which only comes out... you guessed it...in the spring... and is my favourite TR scent of all time.

 Think of the shower shake as kind of a combination of the cream body wash and a light body scrub one one. It is quite moisturizing with a bit of exfoliating grit. Definitely a re-buy for me!

These bath bombs will run you about five dollars each and can turn a regular bath into an experience... I happen to love the Coco Cabana scented bath bomb- it makes me feel like I'm on vacation instead of in -40 degree weather! Another favourite of both mine and Kev's is the Cold relief bath bomb. If you are sick and you can barely breathe because you are so stuffed up, take a nice hot bath with the cold relief bath bomb and feel yourself breathe again. It uses eucalyptus and mint and refreshes your body when you feel like death.

The soaps from Tiber River are really fun too. They have great scents and they don't strip your body of it's good oils like regular soaps can. I happen to love the Yuzu soap which is a really fresh citrusy scent (Japanese grapefruit to be exact). One soap that really stands out to me is the Honey Pot Ultra soap. Think a bar of soap with really exfoliating beads. This is awesome if you get sugared or waxed and want to keep your "area" free from ingrown hairs, and also great as a weekly exfoliation treatment to get all of the dead skin off of your body! LOVE this soap.

Tip: Store this in a travel soap container and keep it away from the shower when you aren't using it. Soap regardless of whether it is natural or not will melt if it is getting hot water on it from the shower- and this is a soap you want to keep around. It's pricier than your regular soap but worth it!

I don't know about you but when I'm going to shave my legs I hate shaving gel because it comes right off your legs the second water hits it. Then you have to start all over again and you waste so much product! It's pretty much useless. That brings me to "Shave to be smooth" shaving lotion. It is much thicker and creamier than what you are probably used to- think a really thick conditioner/cream mixture. It stays in place letting you take your time and get all of your stuff done. 

This is a pricier product but I have a dupe... The EOS shaving lotion is a really great alternative and they have great scents to choose from. You can find this at Pharma Plus. I'm not really sure that I would buy this again, because of the price, but it is a great product!

Kev and I have both used many bottles of bye-bye blemish and we really like it! It smells herbal-y but it does its job. Just a dab on your zits at night and within a few days you will be blemish free.

Body butters are my absolute favorite thing in the world but I cannot used heavily fragranced and chemical filled products because the irritate my skin and the dry the crap out of my skin which is the complete opposite of what they are supposed to do. Tiber rivers body butters are incredibly moisturizing, so if you have dry skin: here is your answer! 

I had run out of my Michael Todd toner and was looking for a short-term replacement while I was in the process of reordering. I didn't want to spend a ton of money and so I decided on Clinique clarifying lotion number one. Clarifying lotion one of the four that they have, had the least amount of alcohol. It wasn't great, didn't do anything really crazy, it didn't help with any of my skin blemishes it didn't make me feel refreshed, it just made me feel dry. I used it up but I will definitely not be repurchasing this product. 

I decided to splurge because I had a gift card from Sephora and I got the bumble and bumble gentle shampoo and superrich conditioner. The shampoo is really nice and gentle just like it says lightly fragranced and does the job cleaning but without feeling stripped. The superrich conditioner makes your hair moisturized and come back to life without weighing anything down. Amazing products but the price is not going to work so I'm on the hunt for a less expensive alternative.

The Sonia Kasuk Eye make up remover is about $10 a bottle. I wanted to try to find an alternative to my make up for ever remover which cost about $22. I had heard good reviews of this Eye make up remover which is a dual phase eye make up remover, but I wasn't all that impressed. You use far more product from the Sonya Kashuk Eye make up remover then you do of my regular make up for ever remover. I used this Eye make up remover up in about one month as compared to the make up forever remover, which I use up in about six months. The final verdict is : okay but I will not be repurchasing this product.

This L'Oreal conditioner was recommended by one of the beauty gurus that I watch on YouTube. It was okay and I bought it for about five dollars so I don't regret the purchase but I'm not sure that I will be repurchasing again. It just felt like a regular conditioner the one thing that I will say about it though is that it smelled incredible.

Been hearing about the glam glow masks from YouTube beauty gurus and was very curious to try them.  I got a couple samples of this glam glow tingling in exfoliating mask from my Sephora points. The first thing I noticed was the big chunks that came out of the bottle in the exfoliant, which I thought were just not necessary at all. It smelled great and made my skin tingle but when I took it off I really did not notice any difference. So first $69 this is a product I would pass on!

Now this mask from glam glow is amazing. The price is something that I am not crazy about because it is $69 a jar but I am on my second jar so that should tell you something. This will draw out all of the impurities in your skin, it will calm down blemishes and even out skintone. This is a mask I use weekly and I put on nightly as a spot treatment for breakouts. If you have trouble with your skin this is a mask you need to try!

This is my make up for ever make up remover that I talked about a few products up comparing it to the Sonya Kashuk eye make up remover.  This product looks small but the full-size is about $22 and it will last me a good six months. I use this as Eye make up remover every single night because I only use waterproof mascara. This is gentle, it never stings, it never irritates, just does it's job and breaks down all of my eye makeup. This Eye make up remover comes second to the Chanel Eye make up remover, but at 50+ dollars a bottle for Chanel ...I think I'm going to stick with this one. 

This is a product that gets a lot talk on YouTube and by anyone who is as obsessed with make up as me. Bioderma cleansing water or micellar solution is something that is often imitated but not duplicated. I love this... you can use this in many different ways... as a cleanser, or to touch up some mistakes and when you are applying your make up, you can use this just to do a quick switch if you are changing your make up from day to night, or just to refresh your face in the middle of the day even with no makeup on. It is extremely gentle, has no scent and it's just a great all-around face refresher. PS make up artists swear by this product. 

This shower gel from the body shop has an amazing floral fragrance. But this is not a light fragrance ...its of full on Floral explosion. I got this product for free when I bought a few other products from the body shop so I liked it but I'm not sure that I would be repurchasing it. If you are into floral it's definitely something you should check out.

I cannot live without this product! The Anastasia brow wiz is amazing! If you have barely there brows, or just need to fill in any gaps, then you need the brow Wiz in your life. It will go and fill in every little part of your eyebrow that you need but look natural and amazing the same time. 

Dirty was a scent that we discovered from a Christmas gift from Kevs mom. The smell is AMAZING, minty, clean and fresh. This product is great because both men and women can use it and it is free from harsh chemicals. You can buy this at Lush and since discovering it, we've rebought countless bottles. 

My amazing Laguna bronzer has come to an end. I have used two of these up which is actually crazy for me. It's a great all-around bronzer especially for fair skin, it won't make you look Orange just a hint of a glow without sparkle. It is beautiful and looks great on everyone.

I received a deluxe sample of this Bobbi Brown eye makeup remover but I can't say that I was too impressed with it. It did the job but only when I scrubbed at my eyes and that is not something that you are supposed to do with a good remover or around your eye area at all, so a pass for me! 

This Dove body wash is really nice especially in winter time, if you have a dry skin. It felt very moisturizing and had a lovely coconut and floral scent and I absolutely loved it when I use this and then put on the St. Ives lotion down below on top.

I was looking for another moisturizing body wash and this one with the cream ribbons is something that I would definitely not repurchase I found the scent to be way overpowering and I just hated it after a few uses. 

This lotion cost me $3 and I absolutely loved the light scent, it was moisturizing but was not too thick. I loved it. I wish that it was chemical free but if I was in a pinch I would definitely rebuy this one again! 

And we are done! It seems like I have used so much up! Which is good because you know what that means... The new reviews are coming!!! 

Stay tuned my loves!!!
