Diorskin Shimmer Star in Amber Diamond
My favourite highlighter too bad Dior discontinued it. It has several colours in the compact so it's totally multi purpose, you can use it on your eyes, as a cheek highlight and even a blush.

The best! This is one of my staples for applying my makeup and concealer. If you have dry skin especially I find this is great because it makes your foundation go on so smoothly.
It's quick and easy, just soak the sponge in water, squeeze all the water out just so it's damp to use. Every foundation looks so much better using this. It is pricey but worth every penny and it will last you forever.

Benefit Gimme Brow+ Volumizing Eyebrow Gel

Great product for brows! It's awesome for filling in your brows (if you have gaps or want them to look fuller) or just setting them as it is a mousse-type gel.
I use the shade Blonde, the lightest one they make and it works well for me. I love the tiny brush and how easy it is to use. If you want a drugstore dupe the Maybelline Brow Drama is nice too, more subtle though.

Just picked this one up recently, I had been using samples of it for years. It's a nice citrus scent, works for men ad women. I bought a small bottle at Shoppers Drug Mart, $59 for 25ml (smaller than the usual bottles but it works for me) and I redeemed it for free with my Optimum points!
It lasts okay on me, but I don't mind re-applying. Great non-offensive scent that a lot of people would like.

I am very late on the bandwagon for this scent, I only started liking and wearing it recently. I have been into citrus scents a lot lately and looking for a new one. This one is more crisp apple, than citrus but it gives the same effect. More of a summer fragrance, but I like it year round. Doesn't last a long time on me, so you have to re-apply.
It takes the cake for best packaging ever too, the bottle is precious. Tip, I bought my tiny bottle (still in the same cute apple shaped bottle just the cap comes off the top and has a spray instead of the nozzle when you push down) at Target in Toronto for about $20. I never go through a whole bottle so I much prefer tiny bottles of perfumes, great for on the go and more affordable, especially for those of us who change fragrances a lot and have a large collection.

I've bought this product again and again and it's part of my daily routine. I use it to remove my makeup at night. It's gentle, easy to use and effective.
If you purchase this, I recommend getting the jumbo bottles, they have them around christmas every year, although I have seen them regularly lately at Shoppers Drug Mart. This comes with a push nozzle on top so it's easily to apply to a cotton pad, instead of having to tip the bottle over. And with the big bottle you get better value as well, so it's a bargain to opt for that one instead.

After we bought the Keurig brewing system, we noticed that Tassimo T-discs are available in much more varieties so we decided to add a Tassimo brewing system as well! I will have to say that the Keurig machine is nicer, more powerful, but the coffee drinks that come made for the Tassimo are much better! We get the nabob cappuccino t-discs and latte packs regularly, then add a few pumps of Starbucks vanilla or toffee nut (my favourite) to sweeten the drinks and it's lovely.
As with everything maintenance is required, we have to "de-scale" the tassimo regularly and I find once in a while the t-discs leak and do not empty out all the way, so I have to cut them out and pour out the remainder. It is for that reason that I gave it a lower rating for Quality. Overall though, I am very happy with the machine and would suggest it to everyone that loves making coffee at home.

I received this item as part of the Product Review Club and was so excited to try it! I had previously been using the Clarisonic brush to wash my face but grew tired of it for some reason.
I did notice right away that with the clinique brush, the whole device vibrates while with the clarisonic only the brush head vibrates which gives you a more even cleaning.
I do recommend if you are using this to remove your makeup I would still use a makeup remover and then follow up with a cleanser and this brush. It was gentle enough on my dry skin and was fun to use. I would recommend it overall. I know sephora sells this with a bonus cleanser when you buy it, which is nice.

GOSH Lip Lacquer
Cute product, it looks like a nail polish and then you pull out the applicator and it's a lipgloss. It's more of a liquid lipstick which I like. The colour has high colour and I liked the colour that was sent to me.

It's an alright powder. I tried doing the foundation trick that has been going around youtube lately where you put powder on after your moisturizer, then put your liquid foundation on overtop and it helps seal in everything better, but it didn't work so well for me. Perhaps I have dry skin and it just made everything look cakey and more dry.
I need to play around more with this to give it a true test, but it's just okay. I don't favour the packaging most of all because it gets everywhere, they could of done with a shut lid or a sifter or what laura mercier does with their powder products, a closure dial on the inside.
