I started using this when I ran out of my normal setting powder and was unable to repurchase it. This powder does well at keeping me matte throughout the day and is easy to apply and blend out (I use a sponge and then go in with a big fluffy brush). When compared to other drugstore loose powders, you get a lot more product in this one, which is very appealing. -

This is a really good self tanner if you prefer lotions over mousse formulas. It applies easy and absorbs quickly. It doesn’t really smell like a typical self tanner, but you do get a faint hint of it every now and then. I find the colour can get slightly orange if you apply to frequently. My favourite way to use this is in conjunction with my normal mousse self tanner as I find it helps to prolong my tan even longer. -

This will forever be my favourite sunscreen - I’ve been using it for years and have no intentions of stopping! This sunscreen is very effective at protecting the skin against the sun’s harmful rays - I rarely burn when wearing it. It applies easily and absorbs quickly into the skin. I LOVE the smell of it, which is one of the main reasons I keep going back to it. It’s also true to its name “Ultra Radiance” because it leaves your skin glowy. -

I remember being so excited to try this. For the first few uses it worked really well at separating my lashes and preparing them for mascara. Typically I enjoy a mascara wand with rubber bristles, but I found that the ones of this wand quickly became damaged and bent, which resulted in not being able to apply the product properly. I thought I had purchased a defective one so I retried it in the travel size version a few months later but the same thing happened. -
Clinique Lash Building Primer
I’ve really enjoyed using this mascara primer in the past! The brush evenly coats my lashes and adds volume. This primer pairs well with all of the mascaras that I generally use, not just Clinique-brand mascaras.

I recently started using this as a daily face moisturizer and I have not been disappointed. Unlike other SPF moisturizers that leave your skin feeling greasy, this one doesn’t. It absorbs very well into the skin and gives my face a radiant glow. I haven't had any issues with it under makeup. -

This is a great drugstore mascara! The curved brush does a really good job at separating my lashes to create volume. It also does a good job at adding length considering it’s not marketed as a lengthening mascara. My only pet peeve is with the packaging itself - I wish Essence would sell their products with some type of seal or outer packaging because there’s no way to guarantee that the product hasn’t been opened. -

This works well at creating a slightly sticky base for lipsticks to apply to, but it’s hard to judge the longevity of the product, especially if you’re eating and drinking. I prefer to use this with sheer formulas because I find with matte ones it can make the product look patchy. -

I used to use the original Walking on Eggshells trio so I was super happy to see it return as a quad. The shades are the perfect mix for a neutral, everyday eye look. The pink colour is very flattering on pale skin and blends out into a soft champagne colour. I’ve completely panned two shades so I’m in need of a repurchase soon! -

After having some luck with Benefit’s “They’re Real” mascara, I was excited to try this and I’m so happy I did. I love the rubber bristles on this brush because it makes it easy to coat every lash. The tapered end of the brush is also really good at getting into the inner corner of my eyes. The formula is very black and doesn’t flake. It removes fairly well, but I find there’s quite a bit that remains along the lash line so I need to go back in with extra remover to make sure it’s all gone. -
