OURS BY CHERYL HICKEY REVIEW OF PRODUCTS

Happy Monday,


I hope all of you who celebrated Mother's Day this weekend had a wonderful day full of love, family, being spoiled, and that you were treated like a queen. I was very happy with Mother's Day, and spending it low key with my two favourite people my husband and child. Those two are all I need in this life. 

Moving on, this is my actual review post of the OURS products that were sent to me, and now that I have had several days to test them out I can provide you all with an honest review.

OURS AVAILABLE ONLY AT REXALL STORES 
PRICE RANGE 11.99 OR 14.99 DEPENDING ON THE ITEM




3 IN 1 HYDRATING OIL
240ML $14.99




This product can be used for hair, skin, or massage. I find I have been using this product most for my legs. I have such dry skin due to circulation issues that as soon as the oil hits my skin it's as if my skin is hungry and eating it up in two minutes flat. My legs feel amazing after I shave and apply it immediately after. I like the extremely gentle natural scent of Lavender playing in the background without being overwhelming, giving me a headache, or making me choke for that matter.I also like rubbing this around my cuticles after a shower as well. I won't be using this on my hair as it's a grease pit as it is, no help needed in that department.

EVERYBODY LOTION
480ML $11.99




My husband and I, and our son all agree this is a big winner. It works well and my son and I think it smells like tea. My son more specifically said earl grey tea which makes sense as he is smelling the Bergamot and I do to along with the mandarin orange. I find it absorbs quick and my skin feels very smooth. The big plus is my son has had no issues with his skin becoming itchy, and red, he says he finds it relaxing and nice when I apply it after his shower. I love that I have been able to apply this to my face with no signs of irritation that in itself is a feat. Also, the amount you get is very generous and will last a fair bit as long as everyone is not over using it. If you are one person using it this will go a long way.

FACE & BODY EXFOLIATOR
240ML  $11.99




Let me start by saying the exfoliator is a nice product that works well at getting my makeup off and sloughing off dead skin. I like that this product uses the natural jojoba beads as it's source of exfoliation and not plastic, which, for the most part, is why I have never been a huge fan of exfoliators in general. Don't even get me started on exfoliators that use ground up nut shells, whose terrible skin damaging idea was that? 
The face and body exfoliator I have only used on my face so far, and no one else in the household has tried it as of yet. On the bottle, it says you can leave it on for 10 minutes as a calming and conditioning mask. So one of the nights of testing I did so for about 8 minutes, unfortunately, this method did not work for me. I have rosacea in my cheek & nose area and leaving the exfoliator on heightened the redness in those spots after rinsing and for a while after. However, I have no problems using it for quick cleansing, I just can't leave it on my skin. 

Overall I am pleasantly surprised and pleased with the OURS collection which consists of 8 products, and I definitely would repurchase. I am also interested in trying out the Anything Balm and the Head to Toe wash. I would love to find a product that I can wash my hair and body with, and everyone in the house can use to. 

The other products in the collection are 
  • 2 in 1 conditioner
  • 3 in 1 cleansing oil
  • 24hr face cream
At my local Rexall it seems the hot sellers are the Head to Toe wash and Anything Balm as they were sold out.


Just keep in mind that no one product in any brands line is going to be able to cover such a huge scope as skin care concerns. Many people have varying degrees of skin issues and for many different reasons that it is too hard to narrow it down and be able to help every single person in one shot. You have to find a happy balance of what works for you, which can literally take years and plenty of trial and error.

THE FACE SHOP 2nd visit

Hi everyone,

         So today its miserable weather here in the GTA and even though the temperature is moving up I have had enough of the gloominess and grey tones.

Tone.....Tone you say! well even the weather can affect how our skin is feeling and its tone to, that's why I wanted to share these two beautiful products with you. I am going to try to keep it short. 

I purchased last week from the Face Shop in Markham, Ontario two products that I had samples of and fell in love with so I went back for the full size items. They are apparently one of the popular lines of product that Face Shop carries. That is the RICE WATER BRIGHT line.
There are 9 products in this line that range from facial cleanser to a massage facial cream. The added bonus with these products are that they only use certified organic rice when blending the products.

So my two favorite products in this line have quickly become the Cleansing foam and the Cleansing rich oil.

First off if you are a person that uses a lot of makeup or you prefer using bb or cc cream then the cleansing rich oil is for you. You would think "oh no I can't use that its oil and my face is oily." However I truly believe you can battle oil with oil. Your giving back to your skin what usually gets stripped away when washing your face. Trust me my face is very oily, but in the week I have been using this product I noticed a difference in the quality of my face and complexion. My husband even said my skin looks more luminous, well maybe not exactly like that most husbands don't use those words its more like "your face looks different" lol.
My face almost feels a little more youthful and has a dewiness to it that is enjoyable. It also claims to naturally brighten the skin which I guess in essence that's what we are noticing.


So this product comes in a 150ml/5.07fl oz. bottle with a very sanitary and convenient pump top. The price for this is $15.50
The consistency of this is very similar to a lighter weight baby oil
I also wanted to add this product has such a light, gentle clean smell that I can not even compare to anything else and I LOVE it.
 
My other favorite product in this line that I use as a companion to the oil for my morning face washing is the cleansing foam. This cleanser has that same gorgeous smell and gives an amazing creamy lather. Also you do not need much of either of these products to achieve good cleaning results.
 

 
The foaming cleanser comes in two different sizes. If you have never tried it before see if you can get a sample packet in store (usually with a purchase) or purchase the smaller tube which is 150ml for $12. However because I used the sample I had for about 3 days and felt it was worth buying I opted for the big honking tube which is 300ml of glorious lather for $19, obviously the better buy as well. I feel that this product went above and beyond my expectations and hope you all try it and I realize for some it still may not be what your looking for, but for others this just may become your go to cleanser.
 
So next time your near " THE FACE SHOP" go in take a look around, but do your research online before hand so you can pinpoint specific products you may want to try and your not aimlessly walking around with no clue what to try first, but at least I have provided you with a good starting point.
 
Also on a side note as I was standing at the check out I noticed some various make up tools to my right and I was on the hunt for a new emery board and I grabbed this
 

 
However even at $1.50 to my dismay I get home and realize its not a nail file but instead a "high shine 2 step buffer," well that certainly is not going to help a big old break in the nail. No less it is still pretty girlie and cute. Wait! what? did I just say girlie and cute in the same sentence? something must be wrong with me today lol.
