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. -
MAC Cosmetics Prep & Prime Lip
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... +
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. -
Burt's Bees Conditioning Lip Scrub

I love Burt’s Bees products but was disappointed with this. When you scoop the product out of the jar, it feels like it’ll be really exfoliating, but once it’s on the lips it’s almost as if the honey in it starts clumping up on your lips. This makes it difficult to get a good scrub going. However, the formula is moisturizing and does soften the lips. -

This is my favourite lip scrubs! I prefer this style of lip scrub much more than those that come in a pot. The product glides on your lips easily and you can really focus scrubbing on dry spots. The tube allows for a mess-free application and it doesn’t feel like product is falling off of your lips. -

I got the Rose lip scrub as part of Sephora’s “Holy Sheet!” gift set and it was my first time trying a Sephora lip product. The formula glided nicely on the lips, but left them feeling super dry. There was a light exfoliant but not enough to make it feel like it was doing anything to my lips. A little disappointed as I’ve used similar lip scrubs before with much better results. -

My hairdresser suggested I use this to help prevent damage and I’m so happy she did. I use this right before I blow dry my hair. The formula isn’t too thick and blends nicely into my hair. I wish that the spray was finer though because it shoots product onto my hair instead of evenly spraying it, so I usually end up spraying it into my hand and then working it into my hair. After blow drying, my hair is left visibly shinier and looks less dry. -
