This is my absolute FAVOURITE foundation to use ever since I discovered it a few years ago. A little bit definitely goes a long way with this foundation, which is fantastic, especially since the price may be a little bit more than I think a lot of us are used to. Another plus is the range of shades - my skin colour definitely changes throughout the year, so I tend to use one shade in the summer and one in the winter. Also, I do have oily skin and it doesn't make it look cakey/extra oily. -
St. Ives® Fresh Skin Apricot Scrub
Amazing price, fantastic quality and makes my skin feel fantastic afterwords. You'll find that Shoppers Drug Mart has sales on St. Ives products pretty frequently, so pick up a few of these if you end up loving it like I have!

First of all, thank you to ChickAdvisor for letting me try this product! I have super dry skin, especially on my elbows, arms, legs and feet. This lotion has been awesome so far! With other lotions, I use them after taking a shower but find that I need to reapply them a few hourslater because it's almost like they've dried out or reached the end of their cycle on my skin, which is super irritating, especially since I'm in university and obviously don't have time to go home and reapply the lotion. This lotion has been able to keep my skin smooth and not dry for almost a whole day! In terms of disadvantages.. I'd say the bottle is a little too small, but for the price, it's pretty damn good. -
Victoria's Secret Beauty Rush Lip Gloss
Ugh, this lipgloss isn't the greatest, though I've noticed it depends on which one you're using. I find the mint one is pretty good, not too sticky, but I think that the flavour is a little too strong. The flavour I have that I found is... +
Ugh, this lipgloss isn't the greatest, though I've noticed it depends on which one you're using. I find the mint one is pretty good, not too sticky, but I think that the flavour is a little too strong. The flavour I have that I found is WAY too sticky is the red one with the sparkles. SO sticky. Even when you try to pucker your lips, your lips stick together haha. The colour that they give off is quite nice, but the stickiness makes it not worth buying. All in all, not the greatest. -

Ugh I miss this power so much bahaha. I got some free Mac powder and I was SO excited, since I was used to always buying Drugstore powder, since I had always been skeptical about department store makeup (reminder, this was back when I was in high school. I'm now in 3rd university.) This power is FANTASTIC. Not only did it keep my skin from going all oily, but is it just me, or does it smell nice?! In comparison to that Mac powder I got for free (Thank god!), it's fantastic, especially for the price. The Mac makeup made my face feel all cakey about halfway through the day and believe it or not.. my skin was like ORANGE. This is funny because I'm BLACK bahaha. In all honesty though, for how much you're paying, this powder packs a punch =) Of course it's not perfect, I found I needed to touch up now and then but at least I wasn't cakey looking/oily looking/orange =) -

LOVE LOVE LOVE IT. I don't think I have sensitive eyes, but when I try using anything that has oil in it (half the time they say they don't, but they definitely FEEL like they do), my eyes start to itch/the makeup doesn't come off very well. I was pretty hesitant in buying it, but I figured that I might as well go for it.. and thank god I did! I loveee this stuff! First of all, you don't need to use tons of it in order to get your makeup off -- it works with just a few drops, at least for me. Not only does this show that it is very effective, you're also saving money too! =) All in all, it's a great eyemakeup remover, especially considering how much it is. One would expect this kind of quality to come out of a much more expensive product. So please, do NOT hesitate! Just go buy it! Dont think about it. BUY IT. -

The skin on my face is quite strange -- some days it's SO dry, it actually hurts a bit. Other days, it's so oily, I find myself grabbing a tissue and dabbing my face lightly, especially if there's makeup on it. I'm usually quite skeptical about the products from The Body Shop, but after buying this, my skepticism has diminished! Not only does this get rid of that irritating shine that I always have on my face, it also makes my face feel alot smoother and not super oily! Also, when I put makeup on afterwards, it tends to stay on longer and doesn't get all sticky and runny. All in all, a great investment for those that have combo skin on their face like me! I also suggest you look into the other Seaweed products that they have -- they all work great! -

My mom got a sample of this from The Bay a while back and she gave it to me since she's not really into mascara. I was quite skeptical, considering I've found more expensive mascara then what I usually buy (Maybelline, etc.) aren't usually very good, but this was actually surprisingly good! As I have complained about in my previous reviews, I have short eyelashes and I'm constantly on the hunt for mascara that makes them looking fuller and longer. This mascara did both... however I won't give it a higher rating, just because I've found better mascara (Maybelline Define-A-Lash) that ended up doing the same thing, for half the price. The only advantage I find this has is that it makes my lashes fuller, if anything. -

LOVE LOVE LOVEEEEE ITTTT. My short eyelashes have annoyed me pretty much my whole life, especially lately since I like putting on a bit of mascara, eye liner and lipgloss before I go to class and what not. I've been looking for the perfect mascara my whole life and while this isn't perfect, it's PRETTY damn close! The flexible wand takes some time to get used to, but you'll seen realize how useful it is, especially when you cant get those irritating tiny lashes. The price is pretty normal for Maybelline mascara, so you won;t be forking out a ton of cash from my checking account for it. Overall, I really like this mascara and have been suggesting it to all of my friends, especially those who have short eyelashes like me, or have a tendency to have their eyelashes clump together. -

I have super short eyelashes, so it's possible that this works better for people that have longer lashes then I do. Either way, I don't feel like it worked particularly very well. Price wise it was pretty normal, nothing out of the ordinary. Quality and effectiveness wise, I dont feel like it's anything special. I see the little gold speckles in the mascara, but I don't feel like it's really brought out my brown eyes very well. -
