I received this sample from Chicadvisor, and am pleasantly surprised!
I have ruined many black shirts with deodorant sticks in the past. Ever since the pandemic, using anti-perspirant made no sense at home so deodorant is safer. I never thought of using a dry spray until now! It is easy, convenient, sanitary and smells excellent. And it does not ruin black clothes. With health issues it is important to have tolerance to basic products like deodorant, and I had no adverse reaction.
I recommend this item daily. And only use anti-perspirant for exercise or when leaving your home.

I have used the MAC spf concealer for over 23 years. It is oil based, but hypoallergenic and non clogging. I since tried foundations and never found anything that worked for me. So I continued using MAC studio fix powder and no foundation.
Look no further because staff at Sephora narrowed my search down to 3 options and this was the winner along with Laura Mercier in Cashew.
This compact is creamy, and a little goes a long way. It is oil based non clogging and was concieved for burn victims. Works perfectly with MAC studio fix and spf concealer. Makes skin flawless and is not cakey. Spreads and is good enough to be a concealer itself.
So glad to have this, as I will use it on camera often.

I was recommended Spectro Gel since diagnosed with cystic acne when I was in my teens. I had gruesome dermabrasion treatments, which left me with raw wounds. So to wash and heal my face, this was the onky cleanser gentle enough I could handle. It was expensive then, and more so now. It works though and skin feels tight after washing and patting dry. I have not used it recently but wanted to go back to it as my old habits were true and tested. I find myself going back to my routine products from 80s and 90s lately, as those worked better than some of today's products.
I recommend it to anyone wanting non foaming, clean problem free skin.

I discovered The Ordinary from a website called Well.ca about 3 years ago. They were so affordable I could not pass up Lactic acid and Matrixyl at under $7 each.
I saw the difference right away with how my skin texture was changing.
The smell is unpleasant so I save it for bedtime. You wash it off in the morning and you feel like a layer of skin renewed. It's tacky after putting it on. Goes on clear. Putting a moisturizer or serum over skin is a pleasure. It soaks in much better. I use it once a week with Matryxl and Buffet.
Glad to use The Ordinary in my routine. It's budget friendly and effective hands down.

I purchased this full price at Sephora. I looked at many reviews before making this decision. At $70 this has been my most expensive eyeshadow palette so far.
Let me tell you that, as basic as it looks, this palette gives me such a professional finished look each time. You can use this palette to literally do everything except your lips and mascara.
People complained about fallout, however true, this is a highly pigmented palette. It has fallout only if you use brushes. I use my crease brush gently with patting only, but a sponge wand works the best with no fallout.
I can do my brows, eyeliner, contour, highlight, eyes and cheeks solely with this palette. I wear concealer and bake with it and that's it. Mascara and lip and you get looks from strangers using it. They seem to stare in a positive way. I get asked what I use each time I am out with this palette on. For a brunette or goth inclined, this is a must have. It enhances features easily. The shades are just right.
Initially had a scent from casing then it faded and product is odourless. The case is stunning and very solid. Nice big mirror is included.

I was wondering what all this hype was over this eyeliner, and over 2 years ago purchased it through Sephora. I was stunned using it the first time. I coukd never find a non waxy eyeliner to get cateye or fine precision until this. It goes over makeup like a charm never getting pasty or intensity of black. It does not smell, it stays on, it requires little effort, lasts a long time, reliable and safe on sensitive eyelids.
$24 cdn gives you bang for your buck. Chuck the rest of your stick liners, pencil liners out and just get this. I use Trooper black. If only I can find my new dream mascara now...

I initially thought the price for this product was excessive for the qty you get in a small tube. I use it only once per week but would increase it to every 2 days if it were more affordable.
It is natural looking, moss green in color feels like a sugar paste with a tad of wax. The sensation while circling this product into your skin--- completely different. So far the best exfoliator I had tried was from Mary Kate surprisingly.Until this...
This exfoliator stands apart because after using it, your skin transforms. It is glowing, rosie, heated for a bit of time due to active ingredients, and so clean and soft. Nothing else ever did this to my face. The microcrystals are tiny but strong enough to slough any dry skin right off.
I highly recommend it despite the pricepoint some products are just that worth your investment.

I got this item at Walmart with my own money. Was lucky to find it due to hype it is getting. Someone mentioned itbeing tge closest cream to La Mer there is. I know it clearlyis not made the same way, however I have been loving it. It's light, non greasy, a big jar and honestly, works well. I can't purchase expensive skin care, and this came in at just under $7cdn which hard to beat. Great for anyone to try at this pricepoint, I bought two last jars since it flies off shelves.
I love how it also wipes away makeup.
If you try it you win't regret it. Literally best bargain face cream you can currently purchase.
As for my skin, I am over 40 and people end up surprised as they pun me for 30.
I never really used creams before but using The Ordinary and Ponds cream has changed my game. The ponds may have a wax in it, which is a known preserver for mummification. Skin remains intact and youthful. Without any waxy feeling.
