I got this for a couple reasons. One being I wanted something that would even out my skin tone, not be too heavy and also provide moisture. Another reason being Aveeno products have always been good to me. This one definitely lived up to my expectations!
I got this in medium and it matches me perfectly. I was also pleasantly surprised to notice that it provided a very light dewy finish to my skin. Perfect for summer! It doesn't feel too heavy and definitely moisturizes. It keeps my make-up put all day, even in the heat. Plus, it has SPF 30 in it! I will definitely buy this again. I prefer not to wear foundation because it can feel so thick sometimes so this is perfect!
I did spend a little more on it, but that's just because I bought it at London Drugs. If I had bought it at Walmart I can guarantee it would've been less so next time I'll buy from there.

I normally don't wear foundation and if I do it's usually just a powder. But when I tried this, I found it works just as well as a foundation when applied either before or after a complete make-up application. I really like the pink (for brightening), yellow (for warming), and green (for toning down redness) mixed with a nude shade that matches your skin tone. It really does even everything out and provides a decent base for a normal day where you don't want to pile on the makeup. It's so lightweight and not at all cakey. Also great for touch-ups or correcting shine throughout the day. I don't normally use the brush that came with it except for touch ups and places like under my eyes. I would definitely buy this again! -

I love China Glaze nail polish, period. The colours are fantastic and don't start chipping for at LEAST 4-5 days after a coat. My favorite right now is Pool Party from the Poolside collection. It's such a bright hot pink and it's so much fun to wear. The regular nail polish I buy is about $5 so for only a few dollars more, you can get this polish that is long lasting and definitely worth every penny! -

I LOVE Aussie products because they are so cheap but work and work VERY well. This product definitely lived up to my expectations! I was looking for a hairspray that wouldn't make my hair too crunchy, wouldn't weight it down, but would keep my wavy hair, well, wavy! This spray does it perfectly. A couple sprays through the hair and it lasts all day without the crunch, weight or annoying white flakes. Plus it smells great! It creates a matte finish and is really more of a texture spray which is fantastic. This will be my new hairspray. Love love love! -

I found this product to be greasy, grimey, and smelly. It makde my hands feel weird when I used it and left my hair feeling dirty, no matter how little I put I in. It had like a weird "after smell". Initially it smelt great but then after a few seconds it has a weird "yeasty" or "barley" smell to it, probably do to the wheat complex in it. Not a fan! There are other products that are meant to do the same thing, smell great, and actually work. Use your money on something better! -

This is my regular exfolient and I love it! I use it probably every second day since it isn't so harsh on my skin. The beads are so fine which I love! I don't feel like a whole layer of skin is getting taken off but is washing away whatever isn't supposed to be there. Some other exfolients seem to also take away the "good " qualities in your skin and scrub too much but this one does not! You're just left with radiant and even toned skin. I love it. -

I totally give this an A ! I picked this up in Waikiki Strip/Peachy Glow Bronzer since I have a warm skin tone, especially in the summer. I tried it once I got home and really liked the results. I like that you can choose how "pink" or how "brown" you want to be and either way it goes on very natural! It gives that dewy/shimmer look that is in right now and I love it. I also love that all shades can be used as eyeshadow as well! Light shades are great for day, darker for evening. Will definitely by again! -

I have very thick and wavy hair so I normally don't need to shampoo every day. In fact, if I do shampoo every day my hair becomes frizzy and limp. This waterless foam shampoo is GREAT for those days in between a regular shampoo. It smells awesome and because it's a foam, there is no residue on your hair and it does not weigh your hair down. It made my hair instantly feel more fresh without feeling like I just put in a ton of product. I love it and plan to keep using, especially if it's only $5/bottle. -

This is my regular every day go-to product! I have very thick and curly/wavy hair so I normally only wash my hair every 2-3 days. This is perfect for in-between shower days because it totally tames my hair and makes it soft and smooth. Definitely lives up to what it claims to do with only minimal product. About the size of 2 peas is just right for my hair and it lasts all day. Love it!
I also read on the back of the bottle that it contains sunscreen? So another bonus!

I tried this nail polish in Snappy Sorbet right before I went to Jamaica. I wanted a fun vibrant colour for the trip and this was definitely exactly what I was looking for! The colour looked AWESOME (both before and after the tan) so I like it for both spring and summer. The polish stayed for quite a few days before beginning to chip. And it really does dry almost instantly which is great for people like me who can't stand to sit still for 45 minutes waiting for nail polish to dry. I use 2 coats to bring out the full colour and also make it last a little longer then finish with a top coat. And for only $4, you can't go wrong! -
