I only used a 50ml of this face wash, but it still lasted me a couple weeks. I do have some acne, but I also have dry skin, and this dried my skin even more and made it really tight and uncomfortable. I could not use it every day because it was that drying. I did not notice any less acne after using this for a while. I did feel it cleaned my skin quite well though.
I usually like things from this company, but this cleanser just wasn't for me.

Be fine Warming Clay Mask food skin care

It is very thick and hard to apply properly and it works just like any other clay mask out there. If you just want a regular clay mask, there are much cheaper version out there.

bareMinerals Hydrating Mineral Veil Finishing Powder

Love the Bare Escentuals Mineral Veil (and most if not all of their other products). I use it almost daily, it is a nice finishing powder and it makes the makeup looks much better (settled, but in a good way). I have tried quite a few finishing powders and this is one of my favorites.
A jar costs about ~ $25 and will last you for a few months, but they have extra large jars which makes it even cheaper.
If you haven't given it a try yet, and you use finishing powders, I suggest you try it.

I have tried a few plumpers and this would probably be one of my favorites. It does sting when you put it on and afterwards you can see the plumpness of your lips. You do have to reply it for it to last longer - I would at least every hour or so, maybe hour and a half, because as you talk/eat/drink, it does fade.
I would also apply a bit of a colored lip gloss on top because the lip injection is clear and sometime it looks too shiny or glassy.
If you want to try a lip plumper, this is one is pretty popular and a good choice - especially if you don't mind the initial stinging.

I have been using this BB cream for a few weeks and although I like it, I am not in love with it.
The best way I can describe it is a light tinted moisturizer - it covers a little, but not much at all. Usually when I wear it, I apply two layers to get a little bit more coverage, waiting a few minutes between layers. I do like the feel of my face after I apply it, feels lighter and nicer than regular foundation - also feels more moisturizing than regular foundation. It gives me a very natural look, you can't even tell I am wearing anything. I wear mostly during the day because I don't need heavy coverage, however, if you do, you might be better off with a regular foundation.
I got mine from Costco which is a better price than Shopper's or other drugstores. And the tube is huge - 75 ml, which is a lot more than any foundation or tinted moisturizer that I've seen.

I use a lot of Body shop products for face and body, because they always have sales going on, and I like their products in general. This make up remover does its job fairly well with regular mascara, however, I found it a little bit hard to remove my water proof mascara. It does removes the rest of the eye makeup fine (eyeshadow and so on).
It is not drying, or leave an oily film, if you don't like that. Just be careful not to get it in your eye, because it really stings.
I use this sometimes, especially when I have more eye makeup on because of its creamy texture/

I am a big fan of most LUSH items, even though some are overpriced.
I really like the scent of this soap, it is very girly and a sweet candy-type scent, however, it leave my skin really dry afterwards, so I need to moisturize. However, this happens to me with most soaps, except maybe Dove.
I do get this soap once in awhile, so if it comes in a boxed set from LUSH I definitely keep it. It is one of their most popular items, especially around the holidays.

Love these glosses/lipsticks - tried a few of the colors and can't get enough. They go on and feel like lip balm, but look like a sheer lipstick.
They don't last too long, because they are much more like a lip balm/gloss than a long lasting lipstick.
The price is a little high - $30 Canadian, and I do think they are overpriced, but you are paying for the brand.
I heard that the Revlon lip butters are very similar, but for a cheaper price.

I like these Jumbo pencil, they are pretty cheap and have lots of colors to choose from. I don't use eyeliners often, but I do like these NYX ones.
They are a bit hard to find in Canada, where I live, so I buy them in US often. I like that they are thick and creamy and can be used for an eyeshadow also.

I got this palette because I really like Urban Decay eye shadows and because there was such a hype about this when it came out.
Overall, this is a great palette if you love neutrals, lots of choice, the shadows are great quality and it is a great item to bring on a trip.
No complaints at all about this.
I even went and got #2 because I loved it so much.
