I love these little sticks - I am currently in the process of trying to collect and purchase all the different scents and flavors.
The packaging is super cute and colourful, I think these are perfect to have in your purse during the summer months to add some quick moisture and flavor to your lips. My favourite thing about this product is how accurate they are to the flavors they claim to be .. EX: Raspberry really does smell and taste like raspberries. They also add some moisture to your lips and some light tints of color and my lips feel very smooth also.

This is my favourite foundation and it is also a product I wouldn't be able to live without!
The packaging itself says "medium coverage" but this product is HIGH coverage. It covers EVERYTHING. I have some redness, breakouts and a few residual acne marks and this product completely camouflages it - you wouldn't be able to tell, I receive compliments on my skin all the time when I use this product. I am told my skin looks clear, clean, even, bright and smooth and it really, really does. Despite it being so high coverage, it doesn't cake or crease and it also isn't heavy or thick feeling on the face, it is actually quite light in texture.
It is a bit pricey for a tube but you really do not need much to cover your entire face because it spreads smooth and easily and so the tube should last you quite a while. I just opened my second tube since Dermablend came into Canada as it's own company, roughly a year ago. You can also apply it however you want (some products are very specific with how they are applied), I prefer to use a blending sponge.
They say that when you apply the Dermablend Setting Powder after this foundation, you can get 16hr wear out of it but even if I do not wear the setting powder, this foundation lasts all day. I apply it in the morning and by the time I get home from work (about 9-10hours later) my skin looks like I had just applied the product but it is also super easy to take off when you use a proper makeup remover. So, even though it lasts all day long .. you do not need to scrub it off!

I am very torn with this product ...
I really loved the colour of the liner that I had purchased (East End Snob) it was a medium toned, neutral pink. I can't seem to find another liner out there that is similar to this shade. They are all either too light or too dark and so for this reason, I MAY repurchase this ..
The texture is very soft and gel-like .. actually, it is too soft. The pencil would break nearly every time I would apply it to my lips. EVERY TIME. I couldn't apply any pressure to this product without it snapping .. the liner only costed me around $5.99 and so, I am aware that it is cheap but I was hoping to get more than a week out of it. It was breaking so much that I barely even go to use it - the majority of the product broke off and ended in the garbage. Also, because it was so soft the tip of the liner would get almost "smooshed" and so it wasn't very useful for precise lining and only really worked for filling the lips in .. I had a hard time tracing the lines of my my lips in a clean, sharp way.
A positive though, the liner did not feel dry on my lips at all. In fact, it was very moisturizing and to my surprise, lasted the majority of the day .. I just cannot bring myself to spend another $5.99 on a product that isn't going to last and will break.

I begun using this because my dentist had recommended it to me (I was originally using Colgate Gum Health) but he had said that this mouthwash offered a little bit more benefits and so I decided to give it a try ..
Firstly, I really like the taste of this mouthwash .. my mouth feels clean and fresh immediately. I also got the one that has ZERO alcohol and so there is little to no discomfort when I am sloshing it around the inside of my mouth .. I really cannot stand mouthwashes that I feel the need to spit out nearly instantly because it burns. This stuff I am able to use for a longer time which means that more is getting cleaned. I also have braces and so it is really important that I am able to thoroughly clean my teeth. My breath also smells and feels fresh for quite a few hours after use, which is another bonus.
Despite all the positives of this mouthwash there is one thing I really, really do not like and that is how DRY my mouth becomes after use and it is very, very uncomfortable for me - the dryness almost makes it easier for my braces to catch and cling to the sides of my mouth. I have never experienced this after a mouth rinse before. I feel the need to drink and gargle two cups of water afterwards even though my mouth feels SO clean , it is just very comfortable. So, despite my dentists recommendations I will probably go back to my original mouthwash after I am finished with this bottle.

Amazing product - I have been using this as my eye primer for about 3 years .. I have tried other products but I continue to go back to this one.
My eyelids are only slightly discolored with some redness and purple (not as bad as some but still enough to effect my shadow). I apply just a small amount of this primer and my eyes are instantly neutralized and become a blank canvas for me to apply my shadows and liners. I did notice that you really only need the smallest amount .. too much and the product creases and looks cakey - it is sometimes corrected with a powder shadow but not always. I have also used this product to correct dark bags under my eyes BEFORE I apply my concealer and it worked wonders but again, you only need a minimal amount. It is a bit of a pricey primer, compared to some that are available at drugstores but since you only need the tiniest amount, the little container of product will last FOREVER.
I have also noticed that at the odd time that I don't apply this product, my eye shadow creases and does not last near as long. So, aside from being fantastic at camouflaging discoloration around the eyes.. it also prevents my shadow from creasing and helps it to last all day - seriously.

I could not live without this moisturizer! I have suffered from acne and shiny skin for the majority of my life and I was hoping it would go away as I got older - it didn't.
I started to use this product a little less than a year ago and the difference in my skin is amazing. I have minimal breakouts and when I do, they are much smaller and barely visible. I also have less shine but still enough that my skin looks healthy and hydrated which was always a struggle because most anti-acne or anti-shine products would dry me out completely ..
The texture is thin and spreads easily so you do not need to apply too much and it also absorbs quickly and so you don't feel sticky or greasy .. in case you apply too much by mistake. Along with the light texture, it also has a light scent, it is not perfumey or overwhelming and shouldn't irritate if you are sensitive to scents. It is just a very fresh, clean scent.

This product works great for exfoliating but it is pretty rough.. my skin is much softer but also very red after using this - I am not even usually sensitive but I feel if you are somebody who is, then this wouldn't be the product for you. Also, I am not a fan of the smell.. I read of a lot of people commenting saying they love the smell but it smells like an old ladies closet to me .. just very musky and not fresh. (I could have just purchased an old tub off the shelf though so I could be wrong) But, I also just think that the quality isn't worth the price tag .. I am a huge fan of other Soap and Glory products though .. just not this one. -

These are my go-to whenever I begin to feel sick or get a headache. They are the only pills that work for me, actually.
They are a little bit on the expensive side when compared to similar products but as I said, this was the only thing that worked and so it is definitely worth it. They are easy to swallow (I usually have water with it but I have dry-swallowed as well with no hassle) there is also minimal to no taste or after taste which is a plu because some pills seem to have a chalky taste. It usually takes no longer than 20 minutes until I start to feel them working and the pain will be completely gone within 45 minutes, every time.
I have and will continue to repurchase this product and I doubt I will ever even try anything else.

This is one of my favourite eye shadow palettes - I got it from Shoppers Drug Mart and even though it is a little pricey compared to some palettes (I think it was $42), it was definitely worth it.
The shades are all highly pigmented and they are also very smooth and easy to apply. I have not had any problems with creasing and all the colours blend into each other very easily.
I especially love the creamy matte shade of white that has just a small amount of sparkle, it is the perfect shadow to apply just on its own or as a base.
It also comes with a cute little brush - the brush isn't the best for APPLYING the product but I feel it works great for blending. It is very soft and easy to control.

I love the entire Keratin Smooth line from Tresemme.
My hair is quite long, only a few inches away from my waist and so I am very peculiar with the products I use on it. My ends are also very dead, split and frizzy but I am not ready for a "trim" (bad, I know).
BUT, this entire system of products (particularly the condtioner) completely smooths out any frizzies or fly-aways. Also, it is a thicker consistency product that I do like for my hair as I feel it covers more but it doesn't leave my hair feeling flat or heavy.
It doesn't have a great scent and it smells like just a regular shampoo.
