J.R. Watkins Hand & Cuticle Salve
I like the scent of this hand salve - it has a light citrus scent to it. I find it really useful for moisturizing in the winter when my hands and cuticles are really dry.

I grieve everytime I see these boots in the front display window of shoe stores. I bought it once, and looooved it but realized I should have bought something more appropriate for winter.. I ended up exchanging it for something waterproof and warmer. These are super comfy but isn't the best for everyday walking on snow and ice ! :'( -

No I'm not rating a piece of poop! This is a great face wash for oily and acne-prone skin. It smells bad but it works! I really like this face wash but I have to admit that the packaging sucks since it's placed in a plastic tub and I find it unsanitary when I have to put my fingers in there on a daily basis to cleanse my skin. In terms of use, you're supposed to use a pea sized amount added with a little water to turn it into a paste. I believe that there is a short shelf life for this (3 months?) - but I guess that happens when you choose to use natural products on your skin! -

This deodorant is awesome because it's natural, chemical free, smells great, and absorbs wetness. The only downside about this is that it can be tricky to apply since your underarms must be dry before applying, and it leaves a bit of a chalky residue if you're wearing black clothing. I love great smelling deodorants but I find this one particularily a bit too strong for me. It has it's inconveniences, but overall I think it's a very good natural deodorant. -

I fell in love with this face mask when I got my facial at the Impossible Diva Spa. This mask totally cleared up my skin in one treatment (FYI - my skin is oily w/few breakouts). This jar is a bit pricey (60$ a pop) but it has all the best ingredients a facial mask could have like organic black mineral mud and pure essential oils. When I use it , my face feels like it's on fire - but strangely when I cleanse off the mud, my face isn't red but rather glowing and my skin ends up feeling sooo soft! I use this when I take a bubble bath since apparently black mineral mud activates best with steam - that was what I was told by the creator of this product. The web says that this product is anti-aging but I was told it has all the properties to fight acne as well. I love this mask and I would recommend it for anyone who is struggling with problematic skin. -

I was a bit hesitant to buy a cheap brand of mascara that I haven't tried or heard about before, but I am soooo happy I made this purchase! I found it actually did a better job than my usual MAC mascara. It really lifted and gave a dramatic effect for my wimply lashes - and, without making it feel heavy! No clumping problems. I will definitely be buying this again in the future. -

I like the product but I feel that it isn't as great as advertised. This product is just...glorified petroleum jelly.
Goods: It does a good job moisturizing, but I wouldn't use it as a regular lip moisturizer (not too sanitary to be putting your finger in there all the time). It does any ordinary job at moisturizing your lips. It's good as a cuticle moisturizer and a good for glossy makeup. Has good quantity and will last you a while. Cute vintage look.
Bads: It smells funky. Packaging could be better (the lid of the tin isn't very secure). Wouldn't even think of using it on my blemishes.
All in all, the hype around this product sold me but I don't think I will be buying it again. I'm better off sticking to vaseline.

Outer Layer is a complete ladie's store. Think Sephora meets Urban Outfitters. So many yummy smelling lotions and body washes, with funny tee-shirts, and trendy home decor. They've got so many original and unique items, mostly from independent retailers. I would definitely recommend checking it out if you ever head over to the Queen St. Shopping district. -

This tea tree oil toner is designed for normal/oily skin types and is supposed to cleanse and remove excess debri from your pores. It hasn't done much to reduce shine (I have oily skin) but it has done a lot of good things - such as, making my skin clearer and smoothing out the occasional blemishes. It has a very tea-tree oil scent to it (which I really like) and because it's alcohol free, it doesn't irritate or dry out my skin. An added benefit is that the formula has Vitamin B in it. It's quite pricey - 25$ a bottle - but it will last many applications. I have been using this almost every night for over a month now and I still have 3/4 left in the bottle. I would definitely recommend this for those with sensitive skin and those who have occasional breakouts. -

Ah yes, I would fall into the same category as Artist! I am what you would consider young,,without any noticable wrinkles. My skin is also oily and finding a moisturizer than reduces shine has always been a challenge for me as well!. I didn't intend to buy it - it came with a gift set and I figured, why the heck not..I'll try it! The moisturizer has a nice light fruity scent and it really does absorb well into the skin. I can't say it does anything for wrinkles (given my skin), but it is a good balancing moisturizer for all skin types. -
