Now down to buissness. This ice cream was phenomenal!! It is officially my favourite ice cream, even over Ben & Jerry's Half Baked.
What I loved: I usually am more of a milk chocolate girl, so when I heard this was "Dark Velvet" I was a little hesitant. Yes it was dark and intense, but it was sooooo delicious! It was very creamy and the flavour just popped in my mouth.
What I didn't like: I personally found that the ice cream melted really fast. I know it's getting warmer, but the speed that it was melting seemed a little too fast.
All in all, like I said before, this ice cream is my new favourite. The price is a little on the high side somewhere between $7-$9 depending on where you get it, but honestly, it's well worth it. I've already told all my friends to get it, so ofcourse I would recommend it!

OMG!!
What can't this do?! I love it to no end!
What it does a fabulous job for me: This foundation hides under eye circle, gives me amazing coverage and actually covers a sunburn without pain. I love this foundation especially because it doesn't give me break outs and yet blends in with my skin so naturally you won't be able to tell I'm wearing foundation. If you use the Matte pressed powder you can achieve an amazing natural air brushed look.
What I don't like: Pretty much nothing. The only thing about this is that it applies better in some ways than others. I find you should use really good sponges (I'm quite picky on quality of sponge) while they're wet/damp.
I would deffinitely recommend this to anyone and everyone!!

I usually love Maybelline, but this isn't my favourite product.
I love how easily it is to apply, but sometimes you can see it.
My recommendation is to put it on your wrist or the back of your hand and "warm it up" by lightly mixing it with your index finger. I find this limits the obviousness that you're wearing it.
I probably wouldn't recommend this to my friends, as I much prefer Dream Matte Mouse.

AVON SuperShock Mascara

I love this mascara! You can order it through the bi-weekly catalogues for about $4.99, or online for about $8.50. Although the HUGE brush was a bit to handle at first, after a few tears and poked eyes I figured it out, probably in the first week. SuperSHOCK comes in a range of colours, black, brown, gold and blue, and it's also available in water proof. This mascara defines eyelashes without that spider-lash look. There's no clumps unless you apply like 5 coats. The website says it gives you 12x the volume. Honestly, I don't think it gives you that much. I naturally have fairly thick lashes, but I would say it gave me 2 or 3x the volume. It may seem a bit weird, but I have a habit of noticing the smell of cosmetics, especially mascara, and I'm glad to say that although there is a slight odour, it's definitely not as strong as allot of other mascaras.
Would I reccomend this mascara? Absolutely!!

I love Adidas personal care products. I use the perfume, deoderant and body wash.
What I like: I love the smell of the deoderant. It lasts all day. As for wetness protection it's a little over average for me. I don't get white marks unless I use a lot for a soccer tournament or something.
What I don't like: If I put this on while wearing clothes or put on my shirt right after applying, I get immediate wet marks under my arms because the deoderant comes on wet. It looks like I've been sweating for a while, and as we all know, that's a look we do not want.
Still, on top of the cons, I still like this deoderant. It smells lovely, and the wet marks do dry in 15-20 minutes.

Lately I have been really disappointed by Pantene. I tried the Ice Shine product not too long ago, and found it did nothing. Beautiful Lengths wasn't that great either.
Things I like: I absolutely love the fact that it is a charity campaign with the American Cancer Society. The shampoo smells quite nice. Sadly I can't say anything more good about it.
This I don't like: I am a night washer. I wash my hair at night then either dry it before I go to bed or let it air dry while I sleep. With this shampoo, after I'm done my shower, I can't brush my hair. It is literally painful. Whatever is in this shampoo makes my hair tangle and knot so unbelievably badly it hurts just to try and brush it out. Once my hair is dry, it looks so-so. Nothing too special, but certainly not it's best. Even though I wasn't crazy about the shampoo, I bought it a second time in hope to notice a difference in length. The advertisment that it helps hair grow longer is a crap shoot.
I don't really recommend this shampoo. Just average, nothing special.

I did not like this at all. I found it really weighed my hair down, and my hair became greasy faster. My frizz and pouf issues were just as bad, if not more more accentuated by the grease.
This was the first Sunsilk product that I used, and I haven't used another since. It's just not worth my time.

I absolutely stand behind Tresemmé shampoos and conditioners. I'm one who likes to try different shampoos and conditioners, and I don't think I've been majorly dissapointed by anything I've tried by Tresemmé.
Favourite line: I really like the the deep cleaning line. My best friend actually showed it to me and since I trust her to no end, I tried it out. When I was performing plays for 4 and 5 days in a row, I had so much hair spray and other hair products put in my hair, the deep cleaning shampoo took all of it right out with no problem. The conditioner leaves my hair really soft, and depending on the weather, my hair will be almost frizz free.
Least favourite: I honestly don't have any issues with any Tresemmé products!
All in all, I love Tresemmé. I'd recommend it to anyone.

I am an avid earring and necklace fanatic, so when I discovered Ardene's a few years ago, I nearly flipped.
What I like: I LOVE all the deals. 3 for $10 for earrings, 2 for $15 for necklaces and some tanks, you honestly can't go wrong. Some of the earrings are cute, and a few tops are nice too. You can also get your ears pierced (I'm not sure if they do other piercings) on sight.
What I don't like: It's quite a shame that they don't have any jeans. Not a whole lot of the tops are really that great, as a lot of them all have the lace stuff that get's ripped up really easily. Honestly, I find that the service depends on location. The Ardene store in Smiths Falls has great costumer service, but that's probably because it's a smaller mall, and less traffic. On top of all that, I absolutely do not recommend any of the mood rings because there is a 90% chance that it will turn your finger green. Sometimes the earrings and necklaces aren't that great either.
Out of all this, I still like Ardene. Their cheap earrings are easy to replace, so not a huge deal if they break or I lose an earring. I can't say much about the makeup line, but honestly, I wouldn't trust it.
