I really like this top coat. It added just the right amount of shine to my nail polish, and really does help to protect the polish for a week long wear. If you are careful with your nail polish, i am positive this could extend your wear to two weeks.
At first, I didn't think i was going to like this top coat. It went on really thick and was a little hard to moved it over the top of the polish without it looking uneven. I was pleased to see that it seems to self level it self and drys really smooth! definitely a must for any nail polish junkies!

This is my nightly cleanser preference. I enjoy most of Biore products, and find they are priced decently. This cleanser does a really good job of getting into my pores and cleaning off all traces of make-up. It has a bit of a tingly sensation as you clean, which I tend to relate to it cleaning my face.
The only downfall i have with this cleanser is it leaves my face feeling dry, and in desperate need of moisture. It would be more suited for a person with very oily skin, and not for people with dry skin. I do not have any special training in skin care, but it is my belief that if you remove all traces of oil from your face, your face will in-turn over generate oil to replace the oil it is missing. This would have adverse effects from the purpose of cleaning your face.
Overall, it is a really good value for a decent facial cleanser.

I absolutely love this epilator. I used to have the Bruan Silk-Epil 7, which was a great epilator. When the battery went, I was forced to upgrade to the Braun Silk-Epil 9. I was hesitant at first, giving the price tag is definitely on the higher end of the epilators, however, it was well worth the investment. This epilator leaves my skin so smooth you would believe i waxed. It really does pick up even the smallest of hairs, and it is also very gentle at it. It is much more comfortable to use, compared to other epilators i have used, as it grabs each hair and plucks it, oppose to slipping and pulling at the hairs while not removing them.
I use this as a whole bode epilator, including my bikini line, arm pits, and face.
For me, the precision head is best for any part of the body. When i use the sensitivity cap, the tweezers do not come as close to the skin, which makes the plucking action more painful.
I would definitely recommend this to anyone who like epilating.

This is one of my favourite mascaras on a budget! Goes of really smooth and doesn’t start to look spidery until you attempt to add a third coat. I have found that even if you do put too much on and your eye lashes are starting to clump together, you can wait until the product is dry and brush your eye lashes out to a nice feathery affect with a clean eye last brush. I love the new mystic black colour! Looks way blacker than the blackest black! Makes for a really nice pop! -

This is the only bar soap that I buy. It doesn’t leave your Skin feeling like rubber after you try to rinse it off. Once you get out of the shower your skin feels very soft and very clean and not dried out. Another thing that I like about it is it has a very low price tag and gives you the same cleaning and moisturizing effect as other high-end brands. Another plus for the soap is that when you’re in a pinch and don’t have face cleanser it works perfectly well at removing make up and is gentle on this delicate skin of your face. -

First off, I want to point out that I do not like the old brushes that used to be in this nail polish. They were narrow and small, and made the polish go on unevenly before I could finished painting them.
With the new brushes, however, this is a great nail polish. They have a ton of beautiful colors, and they stay on the nails really well. No problem with getting the nail polish to last a week. Possible to make it last even longer if you are really careful with your nails.
The top coat is a little thick when applying it, but it smooths out nicely and levels itself while drying.
Which leads me to one of the most important factors, dry time. This nail polish drys soo fricking fast! Not an issue to throw on two coats and a topper an hour before bed time, you will not get sheet indents! **pending you have completed painting your nails an hour before bed, and have let each layer basically dry between coats (15 min)

I absolutely love this nail polish! I can easily put it on, wear it for two or more weeks and only have to replace because of new nail growth and the missing fresh shine of the top coat. There are only two only possible problems with this nail polish:
1. if you are not a neat nail painter, your nail polish will not last. You have to be precise with the nail polish and only get it on your nails. If you get it a lot on your skin or cuticle area the nail polish will lift on those areas and will in turn make the nail polish peel off of your nail.
2. Price. like 20$ bucks for a very small bottle. the only reason i continue to buy it is because i like to think of it this way: you would normally have to redo your nails ever two days (pending you redo them every time you get a chip) and with this nail polish you would only have to redo the because of growth, in turn, making the bottle last approx. the same amount of time.
