Maybelline New York Total Temptation Mascara
I started using this last month and I love it. The brush separates and coats my lashes evenly. I get a decent amount of volume from this mascara, but I like using it more to add length. I will probably repurchase it once I am done my current tube!

I can’t believe it’s taken me this long to try such a cult classic fragrance! Not only is the bottle luxurious, the scent is too, so you know you’re using a high quality product. Viva La Juicy is the perfect blend of fruity and warm notes, so I was immediately drawn to it. I especially love that the fragrance dries down to a sultry vanilla scent as it would be great to wear on a night out! This scent has excellent lasting power and I don’t feel the need to reapply throughout the day. There’s something about this scent that makes me feel like I sparkle whenever I spray it. I would definitely recommend this to others, but I hope they don’t wait as long as I did to try it!

I had never tried tonic water before this, so I wasn’t sure what to expect. I was excited to learn that these are naturally flavoured and made with cane sugar, which is a great bonus since I’m trying to be more mindful of what I consume! When trying the tonic water on its own, it has a light, sweet scent and initial flavour, but there was a bitter aftertaste that only lasted a few seconds. I decided to give the tonic water another try in a cocktail and it paired great with the other ingredients. It added the perfect amount of carbonation without taking away from the flavour of the drink. I will definitely be using the remaining bottles for other cocktails!
These were priced at $5.99 at my local grocery store which is a little more than than I would expect to pay for a soda, but I do think it reflects the “Premium” name. The packaging and bottles were high-quality and tonic water would be great on its own or as a complement to a cocktail or mocktail!

The Charcoal + Magnesium deodorant is a great for anyone, especially if you're looking for something not heavily fragranced. At first I was nervous to use this as I thought the greyish colour would be noticeable on my underarms, but there was no noticeable colour when I applied it. Although the fragrance didn’t last long on my body, the deodorant was still effective as I didn’t not experience anything unpleasant and I felt that my underarms were fresh. This formula had a chalkier texture and was slightly harder to apply, but that was easily fixed by allowing it more time to warm up in my underarms. As someone that has tried other natural deodorants, I like that my body didn’t have to go through a detox period with this! -

The Rose + Black Pepper deodorant strikes a nice balance between floral and spicy fragrances. I personally loved this scent, but I can see how others may find it a little strong. The deodorant applied nicely to my underarms and dried down quickly. The fragrance lasted all day and I didn’t experience any natural body odour trying to peak through, even on some of the hottest, most humid days. The formula was non-irritating and didn’t clump in my underarms like most traditional antiperspirants. As someone that has tried other natural deodorants, I like that my body didn’t have to go through a detox period with this! -

I was really excited to try this out but so far I haven't been very impressed. I was expecting to feel more of a tingle when applying it, because to me, that would indicate that it's working, but it feels the same as applying micellar water. I haven't noticed any improvements with my skin. If anything, my nose and chin area are more congested now. I'm going to keep using it and hold out that I see some noticeable changes because I really wanted this to be my go-to toner. -

I discovered this hairspray after I had run out of my normal one and was in desperate need of keeping my style in place. The spray applies evenly to my hair and holds my style (usually curls) in place for a long time. I find the scent a little strong, so that would be my only suggested improvement! -

This is cult classic dry shampoo and one that I always keep in my rotation. The smell is fresh and clean and the product leaves my hair noticeably less oily. This one can leave a bit of white residue on dark hair, especially if you massage it in poorly. I find that this is most effective when you use it at night because I think it allows for more oil to be absorbed! -

This is an amazing mascara if you’re looking to add volume to your lashes! I also get a fair bit of length from it as well. The mascara formula doesn’t flake and can hold a curl. I like using this to blend my natural lashes with fake lashes because the brush can really get in between each individual lash. A must-try for anyone that likes mascara! -
