I thought I reviewed this a long time ago but apparently not! haha I received this blush as a prize from CA and was very excited to try it. The colour was from the light spectrum and was definitely far too light for me. It did not show up on my face - at all. Zero. I think I'd need from the medium spectrum. So although that colour didnt work, I am definitely inclined to try from the medium because it seemed that the finish is very natural. At some point I will probably pick this up in a colour that will work better for my skin tone. -

I really enjoy these tampons - especially the coloured packaging! It kind of makes me look forward to changing my tampon to see what colour I'll pick out of the box! haha I find they have great protection on the light - medium days. The super-plus are ok for the heavy days but I find Playtex Gentle Guide is better. That said, I wouldn't write off these tampons for heavy days. All in all, they're great and I will continue to use them. -

I didn't like this lipstain at all. Even the Flirty Nude was WAY too pigmented, even for a lipstain. And the Plum Pout colour was VERY red. Much too red for me. I'm not very impressed with the quality or the colour and I normally prefer lighter lip colours (peachy) so I won't buy this again. I'd buy Joe Lipstain over CoverGirl Outlast Lipstain any day! -

I was very impressed with this eyeliner! I got this in brown blaze. It goes on so softly, really just like a liquid. It looks great dotted along the lashline or as a sold line (comes with a sponge smudger on the other end). I found this gave me great definition and made my eyes pop and my lashline look thicker. Plus, it lasted all day. I'll definitely use this again! -

I decided to try this mascara because CoverGirl mascara is my regular choice and has always been pretty good to me. I liked the idea of a "mousse" consistency. It actually took me a long time to find this - it was sold out everywhere!
Because it's a "mousse" it's so light and airy - which is great! But it is slightly watery so you will almost definitely need to use a lash comb.
To break it down, here's some pros and cons:
Pros
-Gives lightweight, feathery lashes
-Great definition for daytime use
-Overall look is very natural
-Doesn't smudge - like, at ALL!
-Absolutely zero flaking
-Easily washes off with water
-Made with natural ingredients so those with eye sensitivites will probably really like this
Cons
-Not very buildable, max 2 coats before you start having clumping issues
-Most likely you will need a lash comb
-Not ideal for night time use as the final look is a very natural one
As I said, it's not very buildable but I'm ok with that since one or two coats is really all you need to get the definition and length that is ideal for the daytime. So if you like a mascara that you can coat up to your heart's content, this one may not be for you.
All in all, I do like this mascara and I would buy again since it's SO light and natural but still makes my eyes pop. It's so nice to have long lashes and defined eyes without feeling like I coated tar on my eyes. I really can't tell you how great of a daytime mascara this is!

I have this lipstick in Nude Blush and it matches me perfectly! It's a perfect nude lipstick that still gives a hint of colour. So it's great for during the day, weekends, whenever I'm going for laid back and natural looking. It's also very moisturizing and has a touch of shine. This is one of my make-up bag staples that I always have on hand. I've been using it for quite a few years now and I plan to continue using it. I have yet to try other colours so right now I'll just stick with saying the quality is great. Definitely recommend. -

I picked this up in Coral and Sandstone but all colours looked appealing and it was hard to choose just two! I really like these because they moisturize and provide some shine and colour as well. They're great for every day use. Personally, I am more drawn to the Coral colour because it has little to no shimmer and is a lovely peachy-orangey colour. Very flattering on warm skin tones and still looks quite natural. I also did like Sandstone which was more of a pinky-peach. However, this one I found to be quite shimmery and not as smooth or glossy. Which is a shame, it'd be a great colour if it wasn't for the sparkle... and the sparkle left all over my husband's face! Nonetheless, I do plan to try maybe another colour or 2 because I do really enjoy these for day wear as I said. Plus, the packaging is too cute so it makes them a little addictive! -

I totally love these razors. I get a close shave every time and my legs are so smooth and silky after. It's also easy to shave over my knees with this. You do have to use some pressure to get the shave. The only time I've ever gotten razor burn with these is when I used a dull razor. The razor stays sharp and the soap bar lasts probably 7-10 days until I need to change it (with shaving every second day). I know sometimes Costco has these razors in a value pack for about $25. My value pack has lasted me 6 months and I still have a few razors left! -
Clean & Clear Morning Burst Shine Control Facial Cleanser
This cleanser really does control shine. I've found my t-zone to be much less shiny throughout the day. The smell is good, texture is good, and one pump is more than enough. Definitely will repurchase.

This moisturizer is pretty decent. It really is moisturizing and smells pretty good. I don't know if it necessarily makes my skin "brighter" as it claims to do. I've heard people say it has glitter in it and that makes the lotion feel weird. You do feel sort of a weird texture at first but it blends right into my skin. It doesn't bother me since the lotion makes my skin softer in the end which is what I'm going for! And I haven't noticed any crazy glitter or sparkles. The price is pretty good for a moisturizer, definitely affordable and a reasonable price for what you get. The bottle also lasts quite awhile! I also like that it's oil free - oil is the last thing I need on my face.
Would I buy again? Probably. My normal moisturizer is Aveeno Positively Radiant which I like just a little bit more for the texture. However, this one feels more lightweight so it just depends on the day for me!
