This is the absolute craziest hair gel I have ever owned!
It has a ridiculously strong hold. When I had short hair, I used to put my hair into a faux hawk style. When I used this hair gel, I literally could go to bed and wake up with my hair still looking EXACTLY the same as when I first applied the gel the day before.
That said, it is SUPER sticky before it dries. You will need to wash your hands.
For people with short hair and people with stage or very long day needs for style hold, I 100% recommend this product.

This is a decent women's antiperspirant for the price of it. I still find them to be a little too pricey based on the amount of product that is in the package, but compared to other similar products from other brands it is right on par.
The smell of this particular antiperspirant is quite nice. It is not very strong but it is noticeable for yourself and any other people who are very close to you. I quite enjoyed the smell of it, but I was a little disappointed at how quickly it wore off. I think that's the only real problem I had with this.
The antiperspirant effect lasted for approximately 6 hours, which I think is to be expected from an average woman's antiperspirant. It just means you may need to reapply if you have a long day, and I think this is reasonable.

This is a great product from L'Oreal. I didn't want to just list it as a regular conditioner because I feel that it is so much more than that.
I only use this product maybe once a month for myself, and another family member uses it once or twice a month as well, and we are still on our first container after using it for three or four months. You really don't need a lot of this hair mask to make a big difference.
However, I will say that in order to get the really repaired look and feel, you do need to let this mask sit for a considerable length of time. I recommend at least ten minutes with it sitting in your hair. It also needs to be rinsed out very well or you may get that greasier, weighed down look. I think it's just because this is such a thick product!
My hair feels refreshed, frizz-free, smooth and easily untangled after using this hair mask. I often recommend it to my friends who have bleached hair because I have had so much success with it.

This is probably my favourite conditioner of all time.
It's nothing super fancy, but it is great value and it works well. I would not try to compare it to any salon brands, but comparing it to drug store brands, there is nothing else with the same value and quality.
It leaves my hair smooth, easy to brush (super thankful for that with my thin hair!), and visibly looking nice. I use this conditioner even when I'm using shampoos from other brands.

This is a great men's face wash, especially for use in the summer.
It gives the desired clean and refreshed feeling expected from any good face wash, but it has the added benefit of actually giving you a cooled feeling to your face! Even though it technically belongs to my boyfriend, I often use it when I've been spending a lot of time outside. It's a great way to relax and bring yourself back together after being in the heat.
It does not hurt my sensitive skin or leave it feeling irritated.

This is another great hairspray from Beyond the Zone. I often use it in conjunction with their other Beach Head spray, the sea salt mist.
This spray is very effective for exactly what it suggests: it creates shine and slightly tames the hair.
It creates a nice shine to hair WITHOUT making it look greasy. That is probably the most important part of this spray, because greasy hair never looks nice!

This is a great hairspray for texturizing thin, fine straight hair.
I struggle with getting volume and texture into my hair, as I have super fine, fairly thin and pretty darn straight hair. My roots are completely flat, and the only wave I ever get in my hair is from it being forced against my shoulder due to length. I even struggle with keeping a curl in my hair if I spend the time to make it!
This spray has totally changed the game for me. I am able to get a nice, tousled look to my hair, without getting super tangled. That is probably the worst thing that can happen to hair like mine, because tangles=breakage and breakage means less hair, which is a big problem for those of us with little to begin with! Obviously, you still must be careful with how much you use if you have thinner hair.
I don't use it all the time because it's really only meant for creating that surf hair look, but I am very pleased with it when I do use it.

This is probably one of the best priced shampoos that is on my favourites list.
As someone who has spent time with a variety of different hair colours and styles, I have tried so many different shampoos along the way. The only reason that this shampoo lost half a star for effectiveness is because it is not sulfate free which sucks for those of us who have coloured hair. This is especially a warning for anyone using semi or demi-permanent hair colour! :(
Other than that one problem, I truly love it. It has a nice texture, a nice light scent, and it did not make my hair super dry or cause any other problems with it. It does even help keep moisture in the hair as compared to other shampoos.
Especially if you get it on sale it is a great value. I would recommend it to most of my family and friends. I will be purchasing again.

Sally Hansen Hard As Nails Color

I'll be completely honest, I am not a big pink wearing girl. I've never been the girl who looks for pink everything, and usually I avoid it at all costs. But, my sister-in-law got this shade for Christmas, and we decided to play around with it. This is a fun shade of pink, but I would not wear it on its own.
It's a little too neon 70s/80s for me, but some people like that so I won't judge the polish solely on that.
I did find that the application was very sheer. The brush was alright, but I just could not get a full smooth coat of this down. It was also a weirdly dry, matte sort of finish to it. Not like an intentional matte, but sort of like the cheaper nail polishes you used to play with when you were a kid. It looked much better with a glossy top coat on it, and I'm sure if I had taken the time to do three full coats of this polish and then I put a coat or two of the glossy top coat on it that it would have had a much better final look.

This is a really beautiful glitter nail polish that I was able to purchase from Dollarama for only $3. It is a clear polish base filled with gorgeous medium-dark purple and blue glitter. It is mainly purple glitter, with the blue accenting the purple.
This polish almost literally jumped out at me at Dollarama, as my boyfriend reached out to grab something and somehow bumped this bottle and it came flying out at us. As soon as I saw it I knew I needed to have it, and I literally could not walk away from it. It was so beautiful, vibrant and perfect for me.
The application process is a bit longer because it's one of those glitter polishes where it is a little bit sparse and applies best when a first coat is then covered with the glitter using a non-latex makeup sponge. Using this method I was able to get pretty even coverage, even though it felt quite thick. It looked very pretty on my nails and was very solid and did not squish or smudge. After being topped with a top coat it was so shiny and all the glitter caught the light.
I would absolutely buy this colour again if I can find it again.
