I got a sample of this foundation in three shades. Each time I tried it my face would get really oily and I would want to just wash my face. It also oxidized and made me look kinda orange, even though it matched on application. It has a thicker consistency, doesn't have a smell, and comes in a bottle with a pump.
PROS
- Many shades
- Cheaper alternative to a foundation at Sephora
- Blends well
- Medium to full coverage
CONS
- Did not last
- Oxidizes
- Does not control oil

This product is definitely comparable to the beauty blender. It makes your foundation look natural and perfectly blends. The best way to describe it would be to list the pros and cons.
Pros:
- Expands pretty big when wet (hehe)
- Really soft
- Affordable (which means it's easy to replace after awhile)
- Stays wet even once you finish your foundation and are on undereye concealer (my beauty blender doesn't stay wet enough to blend my concealer)
Cons:
- I have yet to find one in store, had to order it on Amazon
- Will sheer out foundation
- For sanitary reasons it should be replaced once a year or even six months if you use it daily

This app works very well, but I'm not sure I would recommend it. I wouldn't recommend it because I remember having a friend in highschool who would skip breakfast or eat a muffin then enter it in and freak out about the calories. If you're trying to lose weight then focus on what you're eating, and not how many calories it is. Eat a vegetable, a starch, and a protein and you're good. It's good to keep track of what you're eating, but don't think of it as the holy grail when it comes to weight loss. -

A friend of mine bought this and it was too light for her, so she gave it to me. I was worried because I enjoy full coverage and this is marketed as being light - medium. I haven't worn it for a full day yet, but I can say that it makes my skin look so smooth, and as though it's naturally clear and even. I mixed it with Revlon Colorstay and my skin looked flawless, I can't get over how good it looks. Will update after worn for a full school day! -

I was on the hunt for a gentle cleanser; I have acne prone skin and I have found that products aimed at "acne prone" skin is way too harsh. I use Simple Micellar Water to take off my makeup, and then this to wash my face. This cleans my skin and doesn't leave it feeling tight or dry afterwards! My skin feels comfortable and clean. It is soap free and dye free, so it will not irritate skin. I bought the foaming formula, and it foams a tiny bit, but enough that I know it won't dry my skin . -

After only a few days using this I think I have a good idea of how I feel about it. I have oily acne prone skin, and this felt nice going on but it made me look like I just rubbed vaseline on my face. It was SUPER shiny on me. It is thick feeling, laying in bed I could feel it just sitting on my face. Then when I went to rinse my face in the morning I could feel the thick cream rinsing off my face. I haven't noticed much of a difference with it. -
St. Ives® Fresh Skin Apricot Scrub

This is made with crushed walnuts, which is what is used as the "exfoliating" ingredient. But it's so sharp that it causes microscopic tears on the surface of your skin, which then allows bacteria in. This may be a good price, but it really isn't worth it; unless you want red irritated skin. It would definitely be more worthwhile to invest in a chemical exfoliator like an AHA or BHA or salicylic acid. Physical exfoliators like this are very abrasive. -
Clinique Moisture Surge Extended Thirst Relief Facial Treatment

I got a mini size of this in a bag from Holt Renfrew, even though I have oily skin the winter's get so harsh that using this at night makes my skin feel so soft. This is definitely expensive, but if you want a really good moisturizer then I recommend this. I don't need something that heavy duty on a day-to-day basis so I have not purchased a full size. -

I bought this when I saw a Sally Beauty Supply opened in my city, some products that are on the american website aren't available here because they apparently need to be printed in English, Spanish and French to be sold here and in the States. I picked this up and with my club card it came to $13. The tub lasts me a few months and it helps my hair curl nicely, and it adds a lot of shine. I always come back to this product. -
Anastasia Beverly Hills DIPBROW Pomade

I went to sephora with the intention of buying this in Dark Brown, of course with my luck they were all sold out (its the only sephora east of Toronto in our area). So I ended up getting Medium Brown and I love it! Sometimes I want it a bit darker so I'll use MUG eyeshadow in Mocha to fill in my brows then make the lines crisp with dipbrow, and make the tail with dipbrow. I find myself having to add a bit of olive oil to it from time-to-time because it gets a bit dry, but that revives it. -
