I received this in the Swag Bags at the Shop Crawl. It freshens my breath very quickly and works pretty well. I prefer to not chew gum because of the aspartame. This is a way better alternative, seeing that it has none!
I think this is great for before an interview or presentation, because it is never good to have anything in your mouth when you are presenting or going for an interview.
The only thing I don't like so much is that I wish the freshness would last a little bit longer.

Tide-to-Go has saved my clothes so many times! It works well most of the time. You have to use a lot of it. The only thing that I want to warn everyone against is that it has the tendency to leave a little while mark around the stain. Not cool! I found that on my Lulu pants it left that. I find that it works best on cotton.
Another thing is that I found that the cap fell off many times, and eventually it just dried out! I'm not sure if I would buy this again, but it does get the stain out pretty well.

This is the most interesting and expensive mascara I have ever bought. It is one of the best selling mascaras in Japan, I just had to try it!
It supposed to be like painting on fake lashes. I didn't get this at first, and it took me a little while to get used to the consistency of the product. What it does is as you build layers with the brush, new lashes are forming on top of your own lashes... no joke!
The most funny and scary thing was when I took it off at night with eye make up remover. The entire line of lahes just came off, I thought my own lashes were falling off... and I freaked out!
Some things I didn't like was that I found that a few of my own lashes came out. Maybe just like 1 or 2. Also, it didn't lengthen them as much as I wanted them too. But even still, there was a noticeable difference in my lashes.
What I did like however, is how it never runs or flakes off... and also that it is so easy to remove it with eye make up remover.
I think that a rule of thumb with mascara is that if you choose to spend a lot of money on it, then you must really really love it. Mascara needs to be chucked every 3 months anyways... I think everyone woman who chooses to buy high end mascara has to ask herself:
Is it really worth it?
I dunno you think about it. Next time I am gonna try DiorShow or Kiss me. :)

When I first saw Nars Orgasm I was a little but skeptical. It looked too peachy and shimmery to me in the fluorescent lighting of Sephora. Nonetheless, I had heard many great things about it, so i decided to give it a try.
I find you get a very nice subtle wash of peachy/pink colour on your cheeks, with just a tiny bit of shimmer. My skin is more on the pale side also has a yellow undertone but I find that it still looked really pretty and natural. I am not sure if I would recommend it for all skin tones, because I am not sure if it would work for darker skin tones. However I am sure that Nars makes other amazing blush colours to suit everyone!

They have appliances, furniture.. tons of cute stuff, and the prices are not bad either. If you're in Ottawa I recommend you check it out! -

I think this is an excellent shampoo to bring with you on a vacation (1 bottle for 2 products), and for those who are always on the go and do not have time for conditioning treatments in the shower.
One key selling point for me is that not only is it affordable, it smells quite delicious. I don't mean in a fruity sort of way, but it leaves the hair smelling fabulous!
I also find that it leaves my hair shiny and soft, and it does with such a nice price too!

I received a sample of this from Sephora. This light-weight oil free tinted moisturizer just goes on so smoothly and looks so natural! I have oily and sensitive skin (and at times acne prone) so I often avoid wearing any makeup because I'm worried it will all run off by the end of the day anyway and clog my pores. I didn't break out at all when using this and it lasted from morning until night! The best part was that it didn't make me itch or feel heavy, even with an SPF 20. I still got a bit shiny, but I'm sure that a little make up primer and non-comedogenic powder could fix that.
It is quite costly, I think it's around $50 CDN, but worth the investment. I find that the cheaper brands just irritate my skin and cause breakout anyways.
It says on the package that Smooth Operator has vitamins and natural extracts. Not sure about that, but all I know it that it actually makes my skin look good! It is a must try!

So this one worked better than the other metal eyelash curler by La Cross. It is made of plastic, and I liked how it doesn't pinch the skin around your eyes. Another bonus is you can still curl your lashes after you have put on the mascara, something that you cannot do with the metal ones because they might pull out all your lashes.
What made this tool poor quality was that the plastic cracks over time after many uses. I have gone through two of them in the past already. Cheap, yes. But overall quality can be improved. The metal ones last way longer.

So this totally didn't work for me.
I bought it at the last minute months ago when I wanted my lashes to look more curly for an event.
Bad idea.
What I didn't like was when I tried to curl my lashes, it would pinch my skin on the sides too... ouch! And so, I was only able to curl the tip of my lashes.... not very effective!
I think next time I am going to invest in a better quality curler.
