Sunday Riley
Experience
I tried their UFO serum, loved the smell and the product itself. Helped with my acne, but wasn't too irritating for my sensitive skin. It made me feel like I was having a mini facial from how luxurious the product felt as well as the smell. The colour made me nervous at first, but do not fear! The oil works wonders!
Feedback
I wish it was more affordable, and then I would have used it all the time! Other than that, if you have the extra money and experience acne, I highly recommend it!
S’well
Experience
I tried out their more affordable line, S'ip, in a light blue colour with the salmon design. Thought it was super cute! It's very light, easy to carry around, and definitely a conversation starter. A lot of people admire S'well, and with S'ip it allows you to have access to their products on a budget. Unfortunately though, within the first month of using it dented. I'm not sure how it happened, but I do think if they increased the quality of the product it would be more durable. That being said, with that, you then should buy their S'well bottles, as on a budget, you unfortunately will be getting a lower quality product.
Feedback
If you want something cute, simple, and a part of the S'well line, go with their S'ip bottles. Although, if you want something better in quality and long lasting, spend a little bit more to have their S'well bottles.
Youth to the People
Experience
I tried out their cleanser, the kale, spinach, and green tea one. I received it in their mini bottle form. It made my skin feel squeaky clean, but it wasn't too drying either. It also isn't strongly scented, just lightly from the ingredients within it. Over time, I felt like my skin was glowing from it. I also love how they aim to be sustainable and use natural products, as I think by doing so we can maintain having healthy skin as well.
Feedback
I would love to incorporate their line into my everyday routine, but as a university student I find it a little out of my budget. If you have the extra money, I highly recommend it!
One Thing
Experience
I currently use their calendula extract, and let me tell you, it's an essential product within my skincare regime. I like to use it almost like a toner; I add it to some water and then mist it onto my face before continuing on with serums. I find it to act like a concentrate that you can add onto others, like you could drop some into your moisturizer. I am not sure if that it was intended to be used that way, but that's how it works best for me. Also with calendula I find it works for my sensitive skin, keeping it feel both hydrated and clean for my acne-proneness.
Feedback
Would love to have more information on how to use the product properly! Something on the box mentioning it, or anything. Other than that, if you like the ordinary, you'll love this!
Mala the brand
Experience
Just recently went to their pop-up shop for the holidays!! It was insane how beautiful the location was and the amount of experiences and events they organized. Aside from that, I absolutely love their brand and products. I have tried milk & sugar, cabin fever, and maple oats. Milk & sugar I find is perfect for any occasion, cabin fever is perfect for the holidays, and maple oats is fantastic when you want something that smells a little sweeter. In fact, I love how milk & sugar reminds me of being in a bakery; the ideal candle to keep in your kitchen. I also adore how they strive to be environmental friendly. If I wasn't a student, I'd be buying them all the time.
Feedback
If you want something that both aligns with your values and something that makes your room smell so cozy, be sure to try Mala the brand!! A huge plus that it's wood wick, love the fire crackling noise from it!! <3
Lululemon
Experience
I have a pair of leggings from them, with this mesh like feeling on the sides. I feel both comfortable and confident in them; they feel very fitting. I also love their simplistic look, perfect for both yoga or simply going out. They fit my curves perfectly, and I've had them for four years now and they still look new!
Feedback
Highly recommend them to anyone who wants leggings that last long and make you feel amazing!
SmartSweets
Experience
Really wanted to love these, but unfortunately did not! I encountered them (their peach rings) at my local Costco and thought they would be brilliant for my cravings while keeping me healthy. The flavour is nail on, but if you're someone who also values texture when it comes to your food, this might not be for you. The texture did not feel gummy like at all, it was very sticky; it took be a while to get them off my teeth.
Feedback
It would be great if they worked on their formula and improved the texture more!
Havaianas
Experience
As much as their products look really cute, if you have any feet issues, I do not recommend their product. I deal with CRPS on my feet, and I found the the base of the flip flops would trigger it more, as much as I wanted to love them. Other than the physical part of them, they look really cute. I wouldn't see myself wearing this day to day, but if it worked for me, I definitely would during the summer or if I lived near a beach.
Feedback
It would be nice for them to make better footbeds or an orthotic line.
Method
Experience
I actually got the opportunity to use this product side by side with Dawn dish soap and Method dish soap. First off the bat, Method's soaps have a pleasant and natural smell. With the Dawn dish soap it would make my throat irritated and smell iffy to the point it caused me a headache, which makes their idea of being animal friendly questionable. This experience made me appreciate Method more, as I always thought it would just as efficiently as Dawn, but cost more. And in terms of efficiency, Method does a way better job. It made me feel like my dishes were left sparkling and it took way less effort with the sponge to clean.
Feedback
I love how they strive for sustainability with their refills, their brand, and the product itself, but it would also be nice to see some plastic-free packaging as well.
Glossier
Experience
As someone who is very particular about lip balms, Glossier's balm Dotcom hits the spot! I love the line of flavours as well as the general quality of the product. Currently, I have tried Berry, Mango, Coconut, Mint, as well as Rose. My favourite is berry because the flavour reminds me of a jam I made with my mom as a kid, and the tint is super pretty and not too overpowering. Additionally, in terms of their makeup, I love how they strive for the "no-makeup" look. My skin is very sensitive and acne-prone, and I found their products (I've tried their highlighter, cloud paint, brow gel, and mascara) not irritating at all. It made me look fresh but natural, which I love. I also did a full review on a haul I did with them recently, feel free to check that out if you're interested. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GT0TYnF7XOE&t=49s

As much as I love their packaging (so much aesthetic), I wish they did provide some zero packaging options! Other than that, love them!
