Juicy Tubes come in a variety of colours/scents, all with fun names. What I love most is the staying power. I can put it on and not worry about it for a few hours. Most are fairly sheer, but a few have pigments or glitter in them, but they all look very shiny and not too over the top. Great for everyday wear or to layer over lipstick for a little extra pop! -

I've been using MAC eyeshadow for years because of the quality and the colour range. For any occasion, I can go to my MAC store and find the perfect shade, whether it be bold and bright or neutral and elegant. They blend really nicely and have great staying power. I don't mind paying a few extra dollars for such great quality makeup that I know will stay on and for all the colour options available. -

On my hunt for the perfect lip balm, I figured I would give this one a try even though it's meant for guys. I liked the smell and the texture, but it didn't last long on my lips. I prefer really moisturizing lip balms, and this one seemed to disappear and leave my lips dry after only 30 minutes! If you are just looking for something that has less shine and you don't need much moisturizing, you might like this, but for my dry lips, I need something heavier. -
The Body Shop Tea Tree Oil Facial Wash
I was always a fan of the Body Shop's tea tree face mask, so when they re-vamped the tea tree collection, I decided to try the other products. It also helped that they had a 2 for $18 deal, so I got a face mask and a face wash for $9 each... +
I was always a fan of the Body Shop's tea tree face mask, so when they re-vamped the tea tree collection, I decided to try the other products. It also helped that they had a 2 for $18 deal, so I got a face mask and a face wash for $9 each. Like all tea tree products, this one stinks! If you can get past the somewhat offensive smell, you'll find that this is a great facial wash. The texture isn't runny, but isn't too thick either, and it doesn't create much of a lather. Once it's washed off, my skin feels less oily and irritated, but not too dry like some other products leave it. -

After hearing so many good things about this, I bought a tin. While I admit, it is a good price, I just could not like this. I am not a fan of the smell, but it goes away after a few minutes. I liked the idea of using this as a multipurpose lipbalm/body cream, but I found it was an average moisturizer on my hands/elbows, and if I was going to just be using a lip balm, I wanted one that I didn't get all over my fingers. It works well as a lip balm though, so if you like the smell and don't mind dipping your fingers in, you might really like this! -

This skin is really good for acne prone skin. It helped calm down my skin before breakouts, and removed excess oil. The price is really great compared to other masks I've used, and the quality is just as good. It is hard to squeeze out of the tube and you have to work at it to put an even layer on, but the effort is worth it. The only downside is the smell: it smells minty, but a bit ... off. If you can get past the distracting smell, it's a great mask at a great price. -

I use bare minerals as my quick running-late-but-want-to-look-good makeup. It looks really natural, and takes the shine away. On days when I just want to remove shine, I only use Mineral Veil. It doesn't have colour, so it's really hard to apply it incorrectly. I always thought the product was just a gimmick and overpriced, but once I tried it, I realized how long a tub lasts with everyday use and how amazing it makes my skin look with just a few minutes of work. -
Burt's Bees Beeswax Lip Balm with Vitamin-E & Peppermint

I've been using this lip balm for years, and always come back to it. It's great for layering under lipglosses that are really thick or lipstick to make it smoother, or just for when your lips need some loving. Canadian winter dries my lips out, and this really helps save them. I find the mint really refreshing and not too overpowering, and love how long it lasts. It's not as moisturizing as other lip balms, but it's still pretty good considering the price. -
