I have always been a huge Covergirl mascara fan and LashBlast did not disappoint. I've been using LashExact for years and found this to have a very similar effect. Long, beautiful lashes with no clumping. My lashes are fairly long but super fair so without mascara my lashes just disappear. I'm definately not a pro at putting on makeup (never did when I was a teenager) so the ease of Covergirl really speaks to me. I also absolutely hate having to fix mistakes because it takes me forever. With this, didn't happen. Great for the girl who wants lots of length with minimal effort. The small wand is great for getting fantastic coverage right off the bat. Would absolutely recommend this and it might even sway me to swtich from LashExact (which I also, totally, recommend). Thanks product review club! -

I've been using it for about a week now and am quite impressed. It lathers really well and rinses clean. I also used it to shave and it worked really well since the lather was fairly thick. The smell was subtle which I like although I do prefer the smell of the aveeno products (my usual #1 choice for body wash). I felt like it moisturized well and left my skin feeling soft without lotion afterward. I would definately consider using it again and recommend it for my friends.

I received this through the product review club. Overall, I thought the performance of it was average and not worth the change from my favorite, Covergirl lash exact. I found the button was hard to hold down when I was using it and at first try it ended up looking kind of goopy. I also found it a bit odd to use since it sounds a lot like an electric toothbrush which is a bit odd.
Eventually I did get the hang of it but I think it was just as easy to wiggle my good ol' mascara brush back and forth a bit. For the odd night out it does, once you have the hang of it, work well for getting root to tip. In the end, I was fairly indifferent about this mascara. Worth a try if you aren't happy with the one you've got but I won't switch if you've already found one that works for you.

I received this alongside the milk chocolate from the product review club. I prefer dark chocolate to start but these were definately a better choice than the milk. The dark chocolate shell along with the dark inner filling were fantastic. They were rich and I often found having just one (maybe two) was enough to satisfy my sweet tooth. These chocolates reminded me of a truffle, the way they melted, tasted and the texture overall. I would definately recommend them as a nice treat once in a while and for those of you who are dark chocolate fans they are a must. -

I received the nestle noir milk chocolate through the product review club. When I originally read about it I assumed it would be similar to the lindor chocolates which I am a total sucker for. It turned out they had a very different consistancy than I expected. The chocolate outter shell was as expected but the mousse inside was firmer than typical filling.
I hadn't intended to but ended up sharing the majority of the box with my boyfriend. While I prefer a chocolate that melts quickly, he prefered the mousse as it was far more similar to eating a solid piece of chocolate. Nonetheless, I thought they were delicious. Creamy, smooth & melt in your mouth. While I may not buy them for myself, I'm certain that my boyfriend (who devoured them) probably will. Definately a great value for the price.
The only downside (as others have mentioned) is that the box doesn't reseal and, once opened, never recloses properly. The upside is that you have to eat them quickly so they don't go stale. Any excuse to eat them fast is a good reason for me...
So in the end, good for girls who prefer solid chocolate and want something that will take a little longer to melt in your mouth.

COVERGIRL LashExact Mascara
I swear by this mascara. The little brush works extremely well for making my lashes look long and seperated. The best inexpensive mascara I've ever used by far!

This bra is awesome. It fits really well (I've had a bra fitting done before which I recommend every woman gets done because it makes such a difference). It's one piece which makes it really comfortable and has the "invisible" technology so you can wear it underneath even really thin shirts. When I purchased it I also recieved a free lipgloss. It's also really sexy to boot and creates really great cleavage. I've purchased an Itec bra before but I don't think it was the right size but this time I really nailed it so it's incredibly sexy. I also bought the matching panties which cost about $15-$20. They're also invisible so you can wear them underneath pants that are a bit thinner. I totally recommend it! -

I bought this mascara after winning a $100 gift certificate to Sephora from chickadvisor (gotta love free makeup!). The mascara is great for length and curl mostly because it has a really big brush to get even coverage. It also doesn't clump which I always have had problems with. It isn't waterproof though so not the one for a wedding etc. but there is a dior waterproof mascara available as well. The price does seem a bit steep at first but it is definately worth it. -

Preloved makes clothing using recycled fabrics from old clothing. Everything is unique and cut in interesting ways. The prices can be a bit steep but not too bad if you concider how special each item is. The best time to go is during their annual sale. When I went I was able to get stuff for up to 40% off which is awesome. A heads up that their stuff does fit a bit small so there isn't anything for plus sizes. They make both mens and womens stuff and also have baby clothing which is absolutly adorable. Definately worth the visit to Queen & Bathurst. -
