I am a HUGE fan of Nivea products and this is one of my favourites! Its a thick heavy cream (a lot like body butter) so I don't use it on my whole body ... I simply apply it to my feet and hands, after a shower and before I go to bed, and it makes them baby soft. Obviously being a cream it is very heavy and slightly greasy (like others have mentioned) but I find if you use it only at night, it does the job and you don't have to worry about being a butter fingers all day. -

This is a nice product for oily and acne prone skin. It does smell very stongly, but that is the smell of tea tree oil, so you know its working. I personally don't mind the smell, but I know many don't like it. It lathers a lot, and feels tingly when you're done. My only complaint is that when you are done, your face gets that tight and almost dry feeling that some cleaners cause. It also lasts a long time because you only need a small amount for a lot of lather. -
The Pickle Barrel
I should start off by saying I am horribly indecisive, so when they hand you the novel of a menu anyone I am dining with lets out a collective sigh because they know how long it will take me to decide what I want ... They do have a lot to choose... +
I should start off by saying I am horribly indecisive, so when they hand you the novel of a menu anyone I am dining with lets out a collective sigh because they know how long it will take me to decide what I want ...
They do have a lot to choose from but I have to agree with the other reviews in that it is pretty mediocre food. I have been to the location in Yonge and Dundas several times and have always found the service to be pretty terrible and dreadfully s-l-o-w. It is pretty cheap as far as eating out goes, but I can't say I really reccommend eating here.
To say one positive point though: the breakfast is pretty good ... I like their waffels and I ordered tea once and it comes in a GIGANTIC mug which I liked.

Sally Hansen No Chip 10 Day Nail Colour

I am a total nail polish junkie, and I liked this one a lot. It is comparable to my favourite OPI's in terms of colour, quick drying-ness, and long lasting wear. It lasted 7 days for me before more than one nail chipped, but I still highly reccommend it because often some cheap brands can last as little as 3-4 days. -
Carmex® Classic Lip Balm

I bought this lip balm in the cherry flavour as I have heard that it can smell a little medicine-y if you buy the original. I also chose the cherry because it has SPF 15 which the original doesn’t (on the other hand, original says it provides relief of cold sores so it has its own benefits supposedly…)
I like it a lot. I had that frustrating dryness to my lips that no amount of exfoliating and obsessive moisturizing seems to fix (THANKS Canadian winters!) but Carmex really did the job. Only a few applications and my lips were nice and soft. And there is a touch of menthol in it, which I always love in soothing lip balms.

I LOVE this foundation powder. My mom has used this for as long as I can remember, and recently I decided to spring for it myself. After using it for a while, I can definitely see why people who use it, swear by it. It provides flawless coverage without a doubt. My skin looks glowing and beautiful, and it covers all my little imperfections perfectly. I have gotten SO many compliments on my skin since I have been using it. People say I look great, but they can’t even pinpoint what I’ve been doing differently because it certainly does not look like I am wearing a ton of make-up … it is very natural looking which is probably my favourite part!
I bought mine at the Bay in the Eaton Centre and was kind of put off when I asked for help and the girl absently (or so it looked to me) said you are this colour, applied it to my skin and said see? Perfect. I thought she was just trying to get me out of there, but honestly, its because she really did know what she was going. She could not have picked a more perfect colour. There are sooo many shades, so you shouldn't have a problem finding one to match your skin tone.
It cost $35 and I thought that was kind of a lot for me, but given the quality, and the fact that I have been told it will last forever, I am 100% sold and will DEFINITELY be buying another compact when this one runs out.
A friend of mine is a make-up artist and she LOVES their skinfinishes so I think I am going to try one of those next. I am now officially a MAC girl :)

This is THE perfect summer nail polish. The picture doesn't really show the true colour ... it is more of a pinky coral colour and I absolutely L-O-V-E-D it this summer. I wore it like the whole summer (boring I know but I was so in love) on my fingers and my toes and got SO many compliments. -

I am not completly blown away by this polish, but I didn't expect to be because I have found with nail polish that you really get what you pay for. This polish is about 4 bucks which is great if you're looking to try out new colours. I have "Shocker" which is a super bright pink and "Deliciously Dark" which is a teensy drop of purple away from being black. I love both of these colours. It really does dry in 60 seconds, which makes it easy to apply multiple coats, and it lasts several days with a good topcoat (as do most nail polishes). It by no means feels like you have high quality nail polish on your nails (without a topcoat it feels almost rough, as if you have a weird film on your nails) but like I said, you get what you pay for. -
Rimmel London Lasting Finish Pro Nail Enamel

I agree with the other reviews of this product ... it is misleading to say it lasts 10 days because it certainly does not. In this case, I kind of wish there was something in between You Betcha and Fugheddaboutit because I was not completly disappointed with this nail polish. You get what you pay for with this one ... it costs about 4 bucks regular price, and I got it for 1.99 on sale at Pharma Plus. Its great for a couple of days, and also if you want to try a new colour but are unsure about it, because it is super cheap. -
