I had some time to kill at a local Pharma Plus yesterday so I wandered over to the make up section. The vivid colours from the NYX stand immediately caught my attention. I ended up buying two Single eyeshadows for 4.99 each. The colours seemed great in the store but I was anxious to try them at home since they were fairly cheap and this is a newish drug store brand.
I bought Golden Dune - a beautiful golden/bronze colour, and Daffodil - a pretty lavander colour.
I wore the Golden Dune today all day in the crazy heat wave that we've been experiencing in Southern Ontario, and this eye shadow hasn't budged at all. It hasn't melted, faded, or slipped into my crease like some other drug store shadows tend to do.
The website has the full listing of the eyeshadows - A Total of 160 colours!!!!

If you see this at a drug store you should give it a try!

While this isnt' the best lip balm I've ever used, it is still very good. I bought this a while ago when I was vacationing in Montreal. I did a lot of walking around and because of the wind my lips dried out terribly,....ouch.
I sent my boyfriend to a shoppers to get something for my lips and this is what he came out with. It really healed my lips and I've been using it ever since.
I love the scent ( I have Kiwi and Avacado) and it isnt' too sticky or waxy.

L'Oreal Professionnel Vitamino Color Shampoo and Conditioner
I love this line too. I have the colour and the repair line and they are both amazing. They are really nourishing and gentle on hair. I don't mind spending a little more on shampoo/conditioner if it leaves my hair feeling and looking amazing@

Stila Multi-Effect Mascara
For 22$ you can get a much better mascara than Stila's Multi-Effect. It isnt' "terrible", but it also isn't great. And why should we spend our money on less than great items? The curved brush is a nice touch and i found it pretty easy to use. The... +

And why should we spend our money on less than great items? The curved brush is a nice touch and i found it pretty easy to use. The masara itself was average and it did flake off at the end of the day.

I got this eyeshadow in the mail yesterday as a part of a bigger Stila package I had ordered. As soon as I ripped open the box, the first thing I did was try the Kitten eyeshadow.
I've been reading so many good things about it lately that I just had to try it.
It is really amazing. The conistancy is really smooth and fine and the colour stayed on my eyelid all day! Without any sort of primer.
The colour is the best part. It is a nice shimmery beige/egg shell that was really flattering. Really really flattering. I instantly looked awake and fresh.
I love kitten!

I hate this nailpolish!
I tried several colours today and I was really dissapointed by all of them. Looking at the bottle the colours seem amazing. Rich shades of purpe, yellow, apricot, blueberry..etc. When applied to the nail they come on reallllly transparent and lightly sparkled.
It barely showed up on my nails. Maybe this would work if someone had the time/patience to apply like 6-7 coats to get the full shade.

Bed Head Small Talk
Small Talk is amazing. It is a volumizing/thickening/smoothing cream. Yup - it really does all of those things. I apply this to my damp hair and then I blow dry it. It adds a lot of volume and texture and bascialy does everything that I want my hair... +

I've even applied this to damp hair and have let it air dry to get a really nice toussled look.
It also smells amazing, like raspberry candy..or something, it is hard to pin point the scent.
It's great!

I got this bronzer at a recent trip to Sephora. They had all of the best bronzers laid out and this oen caught my eye because of the sheer size of it. Let me tell you, it is HUGE! I would guess about twice as big as a normal compact. It is labeled as a 'face and body' bronzer.
The 31$ for bronzer did hurt me because I've always just bought bronzer for cheap at drug stores, but this was really worth it. I tested it at the store and loved it! It gives a really realistic tanned look without any orange or 'muddy' tones.
It is the best bronzer I've used!

I use this shampoo and conditioner to add volume and "guts" to my fine straight hair. And, let me tell you - it ROCKS. My hair gets really beefed up and thick from this amazing pineapple scented shampoo/conditioner.
It is on the expensive side but it really works. Both the shampoo and the conditioner are really thick, so a little bit is all you need to lather up all of your hair. It took me months to use up one bottle of shampoo, and I wash my hair every day.
I also find that I use less mouse/volumizing spray when I use this shampoo/cond., and that is always a bonus.
Give it a try!

COVERGIRL LashBlast Volume Mascara
I just got this mascara recently. It isn't the best mascara I've ever used but it is really good. I like the fat brush and the formula is really smooth and it doesn't flake, which is always nice. Give it a try!
