It made my foundation look cakey. You could tell I was wearing foundation because it just seemed to sit on my skin. It also emphasized every single crease and fine line on my face, which really aged me. The picture in my review is using this primer vs my regular brand. Same foundation and makeup, one day apart. I tried for the same lighting, but it's a little off. It shows the difference though.

I heard all the raves about this mascara, so I was very eager to try it out. I loved the packaging and the mascara wand included. I felt it did a great job and getting all of my lashes - even the small ones.
It was a very good mascara. The colour was good, the coverage was full and it did lengthen and separate, BUT I don't think it necessarily did a better job than some much cheaper mascaras. I have the new 'dupe' that just came out and I actually like it better. It's a 1/3 of the price and I feel it works even better.

I started with the Morphe 35OM palette which is filled with all matte shades (based off of the 35O palette). I loved it so much that I got this palette which has the same shades but in all shimmery formats.
The colours mix and match beautifully and they blend really well (some better than others). There is kickback and with some of the darker colours there is fallout. I tend to do my eyes first and then follow with my face routine so I can do a cleanup, especially when I'm working with a more dramatic or darker eye. I always use a primer and these shadows last ALL day long with no creasing or fading. They stay in place and continue to look great.
I do recommend spraying your brush to get the maximum payout of these shimmers. You won't be disappointed.
Very impressed with these shadows, especially given the pricepoint (even in Canada which was $37 for me).

I love the colours in this palette. I had actually borrowed it from my daughter and loved it so much that I went and bought one myself. The colours are rich and warm. No issues with kickback or fallout. The shadows last throughout the day with no fading or creasing (although I do always use a primer).
No complaints at all. This is a great palette with a wonderful mixture of colours that all blend well together. I especially love it when I'm travelling.

My kids love Bear Paws already and they loved this flavour too. They don't eat a lot of treats but they can usually take something special a couple of times a week and Bear Paws is one of the few treats I buy for them.
Even though there is still some sugar in these, I like that the first ingredients are oats and quinoa. Plus they're fine to add into their lunch boxes since they're peanut free and school safe. Individually wrapped makes them easy to grab too. Two thumbs up from both my kiddos.

I used the white/lightening shade to mix with my foundation to get a paler look for Fan Expo cosplay. It mixed in well with my foundation and definitely did the job of lightening the shade.
It blended pretty well although it was pretty liquidy for a full coverage foundation. It also took a long time to set and I could really feel it on my skin.
The foundation really settled into fine lines, creases and pores, which I wasn't impressed with at 43. It also broke and oxidized quickly. I've seen great things about this foundation but I don't think it's meant for oily or combination skin. It just looked bad. Colour and blending were good...I had higher hopes for this, but at the price in Canada, you can find better.

This was about 20 minutes to make start to finish, so pretty easy especially for risotto. We don't do a lot of processed foods but we do have it occasionally and while I'm not a huge fan of maltodextrin, the rest of the ingredients aren't bad. I also love that this is gluten free, which means I can actually have it too.
For packaged risotto this was pretty good. A tad watery tasting, but we all liked the flavour and the kids scarfed it down. We will be repurchasing.

My skin has been changing as I get older and has changed to combo/oily. My normal foundations would just become shiny so fast. This foundation has completely stopped that.
I use the lightest shade and it's perfect for my pale skin. I only need a small amount and it blends well with my damp sponge. It sets quickly and isn't too bad at setting into my fine lines and creases. It can show on some dry patches, so I try and exfoliate once a week and moisturize well.
This gives me about medium coverage or more if I build a bit. No issues blending in concealer and it lasts all day long for me. It has a nice soft, matte finish and I can usually go all day with no shine. If it's hot or I'm really active, I may need to blot and powder once, but it usually lasts all day for me. I really love this foundation!

Between P90 and then P90X I lost 80 lbs and that was doing it modified due to being overweight, out of shape and with arthritis and bad knees.
If you follow the program as closely as you're able to, challenge yourself each week by increasing the weights or reps and follow the meal plans, it really does work like it says it does. My husband did this with me and lost 60lbs too.
