Wow! Absolutely love this powder foundation. It is very light, but actually provides decent medium coverage. It can also be applied with a lighter hand for more sheer coverage. Love that it is so versatile and the compact is beautiful - understated and elegant, but still very luxurious.
I had been looking for a high-end powder for a while, and I am so glad that I got this one! Go Shiseido!!

Out of all of the Soap and Glory products I have tried, this is probably my least favourite... the reason? Because I don't personally care for any lip-tingling products. With that being said, I do think it delivers on its promise of lip plumping. I have used a similar product that is much more costly in the past (Lip Venom), and this one was much better!
Worth trying if you like a tingling glosses.

Skinny Cow Dreamy Clusters Milk Chocolate
Wasn't sure how I would like these... I am not a huge chocolate fan, but these were very tasty!! Perfect serving size for when you have a sweet craving. Love their ice cream sandwiches and now I love these too!

I don't have major eyebrow issues, but this eyebrow pencil is really fantastic. It does not wear off, and because the tip is so fine, you can really create the look of fine hairs as opposed to a thick, opaque mess.
On the pricey side, but there's nothing comparable to it at the drugstore level.

Am in shock this product doesn't have more love.
Like others, I thought.... this may not be such a great idea. But it has to be tried to be believed. It's that perfect combination of savoury (cheese) and sweet (chocolate). Nutritionally speaking, it's not terrible for you, but for a nice treat on your toast or crackers... this is it.
I find this to be a much tastier and lighter alternative to something like Nutella, and you can make amazing chocolate cheesecake with it to boot.
Not everyone's going to love it, but definitely worth picking up when on sale to try.

I love Soap & Glory products and this is a great scrub. It's not my favourite though, that would be the Pulp Friction scrub.
This one is very gentle, so it could be used on a regular basis. I prefer a heavy duty scrub every once and a while, so the formulation of this isn't my ideal.
That being said, it is a really great product, perfect if you like a gentle scrub.
Like all of their products, this smells AMAZING!

Never thought I would have a plain, no-gimmick moisturiser as my top pick, put here it is! This moisturiser was really life-changing for me. My skin is extremely sensitive and I break out so easily so it has been a struggle to find one that doesn't aggravate my skin.
This product has amazing, high quality ingredients (Hello, ceramides and hyaluronic acid!!) at a price point that is very reasonable. It is very lightweight, absorbs quickly and basically, it delivers on what is promises.
Huge fan of the cleanser as well, these items are perfect if you have sensitive or acne-prone skin. Super gentle and highly effective.

Was skeptical about using an oil on my skin, as it is combination and with the summer heat, can get a but oilier in places. I first tried the Shu Uemura Cleansing oil and was in love. However, I am not one to spend $30 just to cleanse my skin, so when I saw a drugstore alternative from Garnier, I purchased it immediately.
I find it works very well - it removes all traces of your makeup and is very nourishing. Similar to the expensive cleaning oils, but at a fraction of the cost. I would definitely purchase this again.
Tip - make sure you follow the directions. It must be applied to dry skin, and then emulsify it with water, in order for the product to work.

This was probably the first mascara I was ever exposed to way back in the day. I recently tried it again and I was greatly disappointed.
By no means is it a terrible mascara, it just doesn't work on my lashes. I prefer a very dramatic look with a lot of length and volume and this doesn't allow me to achieve that look.
If you like something that is quite natural and inexpensive, it's worth a shot!
