This is a good product if you are the kind of gal who subjects her hair to a lot of heat and styling. You are suppose to spray it on your damp hair before you expose it to the heated appliance. I found that the product did make my hair more shiny and silky after the blast of heat from my hair dryer. It was less frizzy. The only issue with this product is that if you use too much, it will weigh it down. I found this not to be an everyday product for me, it's just too much product in my already heavy hair. If you are planning on some heavy styling for a night out or big event, this may be a good product to use before. Otherwise, I wouldn't use it every time I do a blow dry. It would just be too much!
This is a product received to review from ChickAdvisor and Pantene Pro V -- Thanks!

This is a great conditioner, didn't weight my hair down at all while providing great moisture and conditioning. My hair felt softer than it did before, and was less frizzy than usual after a blow dry. I would recommend this product to girls with medium to thick hair, it does a really good job of taming the frizz and flyaways. This is my favourite conditioner from the Pantene Pro-V line.

For all you medium to thick haired girls out there, this is the shampoo for you! I really like it because it takes away the frizz and leaves my hair very smooth and shiny after blow drying. After washing my hair, it did feel more water-logged than usual, which at first I thought was strange. But then after towel and blow drying, it felt so much softer than before. This is my favourite Pantene Pro-V shampoo.
This product I received to review from the First Reality Hair Star Contest from Pantene Pro-V and ChickAdvisor.

I received this product to review from Pantene Pro-V and ChickAdvisor. This was part of my prize basket for participating in the First Reality Hair Star contest.
Overall this hairspray is pretty good, it does take away a bit of the frizz that is associated with having medium-thick hair. I found it was good for taming the puffyness after washing my hair in the morning, making it look a little more "tame". The hairspray holds a curl pretty well. Often I find with medium-thick hair is it does not hold its curl. This product was pretty good at doing that. It also added a bit of shine, which is nice.
My only complaint was when you use it on dry hair, it does make it hard, forming little chunks of hair on top of you head. I found this product to be best used on damp hair, and should be only used on dry for touch-ups with updos and curls. Not bad overall, I may purchase it again in the future.

Revlon Super Lustrous Lipgloss with SPF 15
This is one of my favourite drug store brand lip glosses. I find they aren't too sticky or runny, the right consistency that is more gel-like and smooth. They aren't the longest lasting lip glosses (I would say not as long as MAC Lipglass)... +
This is one of my favourite drug store brand lip glosses. I find they aren't too sticky or runny, the right consistency that is more gel-like and smooth. They aren't the longest lasting lip glosses (I would say not as long as MAC Lipglass) but I don't like a lip gloss that lasts too long anyway. My biggest fear with long lasting glosses is that they will stain my lips, or leave behind too much glitter that is difficult to remove. Another thing is you can't beat the price (around $7 - 9 ish)!. One of my fav colours is Pink Whisper, so far the only one that I've tried. But I will definitely check out other colours Revlon comes out with.

I received a sample of this mascara from Sephora. It is not my fav. I find it smudges too easily, especially if you have oily skin. I also found it didn't hold a curl very well. I won't be purchasing the full size. This is a higher end brand mascara, but I don't think it's worth it. Save your money on this one, there are many drug store brands that are far more effective. -

Select Cover-Up concealer is my favourite concealer from MAC Cosmetics. I find it does a great job of covering up blemishes and under eye circles. The formula blends really well and I find it to be non drying (a problem with many concealers). I also like the tube that the product comes it, it makes it easy to squeeze out the right amount.
I really have no complaints about this product. Thumbs up!

I love this palette from Cargo Cosmetics. All of the colours in it are very wearable for everyday. There are 4 colours and you can create variety of eye looks with them. I also liked that they lasted all day. The packaging is absolutely beautiful too. They different palettes for different cities around the world, and the packaging reflects those cities. It comes with a large mirror which is also a great bonus.
The only thing I didn't like was when applying there was a bit too much fall out for my liking. Little bits of shadow fell under my eyes. This was easily fixed by putting some tissue underneath my eye to catch any eye shadow.
I definitely would look into more of these eye shadow palettes. I got mine on sale, but normally they are around $28 CDN -- which makes each of the shadows about $7 each, which I think is totally worth it. They are super-cute and the colours are gorgeous!

I am a huge fan of Cargo Cosmetics (A Canadian company too!) but I'm not a huge fan of this lip gloss. I like the idea of the timestrip technology in the cap, which tells you when it's time to throw away your gloss. However, the gloss didn't last too long on my lips and hardly had any pigmentation. I have Tobago, it came with a kit that I purchased from them.
What I do like about it however is that it's very light (almost clear) that I don't need to worry about putting it on without a mirror. In addition, I found it to feel quite moisturizing for a lip gloss. So for me, it became a glossy lip moisturizer instead.
For $22 Cdn, I wouldn't buy this product again. I hope that in the future Cargo will put out better quality lip glosses, as I do love many of their products.
