I found that this doesn't control oil very well on its own but it has amazing coverage. So now I just apply it over my foundation (currently the Smashbox Studio Skin 15 hr wear) where I have acne scarring on my cheeks for extra coverage then I go over my entire face with my MAC Blot Powder to set it all and control any oil throughout the day, and I've found it perfect this way. -
Garnier Skin Renew Miracle Skin Perfector BB Cream for Combination to Oily Skin

I bought this in the normal-oily version and it was alright. I applied it with my Real Techniques buffing brush and it had very good coverage but the colour was a tad orange on my tan skin so it looked a bit off and it didn't last very long on my oily skin. I wouldn't wear this for a full day but if I was just going to get groceries then sure. -
Always Infinity Pads

Before I started on contraceptive years ago my periods used to be too heavy for someone my age. These were my holy grail. I would have to go to class in a heavy tampon and one of these to make sure I didn't leak. Now that my periods are way lighter I switch between a regular tampon or this and this is the most comfortable pad ever. It wicks away most of the moisture so you don't feel like you're sitting in a soiled diaper (yuck) and it is super absorbent. Because of my mother the only brand of pads i've used has been Always and I can say that my future daughters will start off with it as well. -
Twilight by Stephenie Meyer

I was hooked by the second chapter of this. I remember in the seventh grade when the first movie was coming out but I didn't really pay much attention to the commercials so I was completely in the dark about it. It wasn't until a girl in my class was reading it so I read the back of her book and decided to give it a go. The books are absolutely amazing and they're what started my passion for reading, the movies are definitely nowhere near as good but that's a whole other review haha. This book made me feel as though I was in Forks, Washington with Bella and Edward, I felt all of Bella's emotions and when she was scared I was genuinely terrified. I remember being home sick from school for a few days and reading so far into it that I had to send my dad to chapters to buy the second book so I could continue! -

I have naturally long eyelashes, so when I wear a mascara I want one that will go above and beyond. I want a mascara that will make it look as though I'm wearing fake eyelashes, and this is definitely it. I fell in love with this mascara and I would often get compliments on my eyelashes, the only reason why I haven't bought it lately has been the price tag. -

I first picked this out for my younger sister because she had bought her first ever makeup item (a bb cream) and so I figured this would set it for her. I tried it out one day and it set my foundation perfectly, it made my foundation look just like my skin and not like I had powdered. The only downside was that I got it at Target and now that it's closing in Canada we're stuck having to order it online. -

My parents bought this for me back in the sixth grade when my acne was really bad. The ingredients lists bleaching products (which is why when I bought it they said to make sure it doesn't touch any of your clothing). It dried my skin out horribly and you can find WAY better products with better ingredients in it. It was way too gimmicky. -
Cetaphil Moisturizing Lotion
I bought a big bottle of this from Costco and I thought it would be a good moisturizer. I have oily acne prone skin and this made my skin freak out, I got a lot of painful breakouts all over my face (and I had just gotten my face under control... +
I bought a big bottle of this from Costco and I thought it would be a good moisturizer. I have oily acne prone skin and this made my skin freak out, I got a lot of painful breakouts all over my face (and I had just gotten my face under control before I started using it). -

This product is my HG body lotion! I have very dry skin and my legs often look ashy. I apply this after I have a shower and my body smells like sweet cocoa and my skin is so incredibly soft. It's a thick product so a little goes a long way. Whenever my boyfriend is cuddling me he'll say "you smell like smarties", like who doesn't want to smell like delicious chocolate?! The smell can be a bit much in the summer time when it's super hot and you want something light smelling, but I can look past it for soft skin. -

This was my first ever liquid foundation way back in the ninth grade, and of course because TSwift was in the commercial I just had to have it. It covered well, but it would oxidise to an orange colour by the end of the day and it didn't control oil. I remember clearly once waiting for my friends outside to walk home after class and one of my friends saying "you have something orange on your nose" ! ah! -
