I received this trial size as an add on for my IPSY bag, It Cosmetic products have been really hit and miss (more misses), their products rarely work for me and this one is no exception, although I will say that I believe you have to use this moisturizer for awhile before it works but with a trial size I don't have that luxury. It is very moisturizing and has a gel like texture but for me the effectiveness isn't there to justify spending $63CDN on it. -

I was excited to get this in the hopes that it would help reduce a red patch I have under my eye however I didn't find this product did anything for me. I am not a fan of texture of this, like most ELF primers, they have a very Silicone feel to them which I hate. There is no scent or anything so no need to worry about it and you don't need to use a lot. If the product worked I would have been all over this but sadly it wasn't effective at all. -

#gotitfree - Thank you Chickadvisor for choosing me to be apart of the #CanadaDryCranberry campaign. I really really like this drink, I love ginger ale however I am not a fan of Cranberry in general however I love this drink. I find it really refreshing, light and a different option to the standard Ginger Ale, it's also great timing for the holidays. I think the price is very reasonable for a full case of this and I would absolutely recommend it to my family and friends. -

This concealer is great, I wasn't sure about this given that not all ELF products work for me but I have to say for the price of this concealer it is pretty great. It is definitely full coverage, I would suggest only working one eye at a time as this dries quickly, however one application covers everything. Another benefit is that it lasts all day, I don't get any creasing or it wearing off throughout the day. Overall this is absolutely worth the money as a little goes a long way, so it should last for awhile. -
Bkr Glass Water Bottle

My title says it all for this water bottle, why it has a $55 price tag is beyond me, don't get me wrong it is a very cute water bottle, it is good quality and looks sleek but personally speaking I would never pay that much money for a water bottle, thank goodness I bought it on the BoxyCharm sale event for $9. I don't really have much more to say about it, it does it's job, holds a fair amount of water, looks stylish however the silicone sleeve is kind of annoying because everything sticks to it like hair, dirt etc. -

I bought this wax at Walmart on a whim as it was on sale and I needed to find a good wax, well this stuff did not disappoint, this is my go to and favorite wax. At only $15CDN this is well worth the price, it is extremely effective at removing all my leg hair, the tub you get looks small but don't be deceived by the size, this small tub does both legs no problem. The most important part for me with wax if how easily it cleans up which is why i particularly like Sugar wax because it just dissolves in water, which makes for a very easy cleanup if you get it on your floors, clothing etc. After using this wax it leaves your skin feeling so smooth and non-irritated at all, also you can wax multiple times in the same area without any hesitation. If you're looking for a good at home wax kit, this should be your next purchase. -

First time trying anything from Estate Cosmetics and I have to say their baked highlighter was very nice, at a reasonable price this is a high quality product. I received the Dew Me highlighter in my Ipsy bag, it is a nice champagne color highlighter which gives off a nice subtle glow. You can build it up to be more brighter if needed or put just a little on for a very subtle glow. The texture is soo soft it's unbelievable, and it wears pretty good, for me it didn't last until the end of the day but held up pretty well. -

Very nice eye cream, it has a very thick gel like texture to which you only need a very small amount around the eye area as it goes a long way. It does have a slight scent to it but it isn't over powering, smells like a nice fresh scent so should be ok for people with sensitivities to scents. It sinks in really nice and provides a lot of moisture for your under eye area. Would I recommend this product? I will say that if you have dry under eyes and really need eye cream then yes I would certainly recommend it, even at the steep price tag of $60CDN this will last probably forever since you only need a small amount, however for me personally I am happy I have the sample size and will use it but as someone that doesn't really need eye cream not have dry under eyes I wouldn't purchase this at this price however I do love the brand and their products are generally very good quality. -

I chose this product for my Ipsy bag and was so excited to try it as I've never tried anything from Sunday Riley since they are a very expensive brand. My first impression of it was the smell, it has a lot of fragrance in it, and not necessarily a good smell, it smells like straight up old lady's perfume, so if you don't like fragrances products or are sensitive to those types of products then right away you won't like this. Texture wise it is a nice gel cream texture which I do like, it is pretty hydrating and a little goes a long way, the most surprising this for me was how non-brightening it is, it actually did the opposite, made my skin really red, uneven and blotchy looking, also one thing I did notice was that it burns my skin a little when I put it on which may contribute to the redness and blotchyness. For those reasons mainly and also the price tag at $86CDN I don't think this cream is worth it, you can get much better gel creams for half the price or less and i would say if you can sensitive skin to just pass on this one in general. -

Was very excited to receive this is my Boxycharm for August, never tried any of Becca's products before. I don't typically wear a lot of powders because I have dry skin but in the summer heat it is sometimes needed. At first I thought the amount and size of the pot was't very big but once you start using it you realize that you don't need a lot of the powder so it should last for awhile. I really liked this powder as is a light loose powder, doesn't really have a scent to it but the most impressive part about this powder is the cooling effect that it gives you when you apply it to your face, it literally feels like water or something cold being applied which I thought was really cool. It provides a really nice soft finish on your face and keeps my makeup looking really good all day, doesn't make my face look to cakey which is a must for me with powders. Overall pricing is on the higher end as Becca is a higher end brand but I would pay the price for it as I think it does a really nice job. -
