These work great at removing stubborn makeup or if you feel like your skin needs a deep clean! The exfoliating side can be a little harsh if you don’t have a gentle hand, but regardless, it didn’t irritate my skin. I like that there’s also a smooth side so you can use it on the more sensitive parts of your face, such as around the eyes. I also really enjoy the smell of these. -
Sephora Collection Nose Strip Charcoal Purifying & Scrubbing

I first tried this out when it was part of a giftset at Sephora and I’ve purchased a few more as add-ons to purchases. The nose strip works very well at removing gunk from clogged pores (and it’s very satisfying seeing it on the nose strip). I wish you were able to purchase these in a multi-pack as the price can easily add up if you’re buying more than a few. -

This is one of my favourite drugstore lip liners, I think I had 5 of them on the go at one point! The nude colour works well with so many different nude shades, even some of the pinky nudes, which is generally what I paired it with. The product applies smoothly and stays in place for quite a while. It also creates a great base for lipstick if you apply it all over your lips. -
Sephora Collection Shea Hair Sleeping Mask

This mask was part of the “Holy Sheet!” giftset from Sephora and it was the first time I had tried a hair mask from the brand. At first I was worried that there wouldn’t be enough product to apply evenly to my hair, but there was plenty. For the most part, the hair cap stayed in place, which was good because I was worried about product transferring to my pillow. After washing the product out and following up with my normal shampoo and conditioner, I was left with soft, shiny hair. -

I love using this when I really need to pamper myself! The masks are very easy to use and are mess-free, which was one of my initial concerns before using this product. Lavender is one of my favourite scents, so I find the scent of these very relaxing. After using the masks, your feet are left feeling soft and ache-free. -

I love most Too Faced products but was so disappointed in this. I found the spray to not be fine at all, which left white flecks all over my skin. The white flecks were then difficult to blend out, which often ended up removing other makeup in the process. When I did happen to get a somewhat even spray, those areas were mattified, holding up to the name of the product. However, one of the worst things about this product was the horrible noise that the packaging made when you shook the product - I wish there was a way to remove whatever was making it. -

This is one of my go-to setting powders that I keep in rotation. It blends easily and keeps me matte throughout the majority of the day. It’s definitely transparent as it does not interfere with the colour of my foundation. It has no noticeable smell which is a feature I prefer in face products. The only thing I don’t like about this is that the product itself is very small so I find I go through one so fast, thus needing to stock up/repurchase often. -

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. -
