I have stick straight asian lashes and this mascara definitely helps them stay curled. I always get the waterproof version and it lasts a good 3-4 hours before I see slight fallout underneath my eyes. But maybe that's because I have quite oily skin. It's a really nice drugstore mascara and so far it's my favourite in their volum' express line. -

I bought this for the sole purpose to use to clean my makeup brushes and this works wonders. I haven't tried to use this as a shampoo and probably won't unless I have no other option (only because I prefer a different scent for my hair).
I'm still using my first bottle of this and it's been over 2 years now and I'm only a bit less then half down. I don't have a large amount of brushes, but I'd say I have a fair amount. A huge bottle for an inexpensive price is the best thing ever. Get this :)

Lysol Disinfecting Wipes Citrus
I bought this in a set at Costco and only because they were convenient little wipes that I can have lying around anywhere and just tear off a sheet and wipe. I do prefer the fresh scent over this lemony one as I'm not a fan of strong bleach scents... +
I bought this in a set at Costco and only because they were convenient little wipes that I can have lying around anywhere and just tear off a sheet and wipe. I do prefer the fresh scent over this lemony one as I'm not a fan of strong bleach scents. The lemon makes that bleach smell stronger to me. But that's just me. They do do a good job though, so give them a go if this sounds like something you've been looking for. -
Old Navy Flip Flops
Honestly these flip flops are not the best of quality, but I do have to say for the price- a pair of these will last you through a summer if you wear them a lot or two summers if you barely wear them. You can not beat the $1 deal :)

Past years, I really loved eating these especially during the holidays. It's the perfect food gift for someone and although quite pricey in Canada these go majorly discounted after Christmas :)
I love nuts and chocolate together and this is what you get. Creamy chocolate filling (is it nutella? hmm) and a hazelnut together creates this perfectly delicious treat. Nowadays my taste buds prefer something less sweet, but if you have a huge sweet tooth you will love these!

I have been using Essie polishes for about three years now and I continue to buy them because I like the colors they offer and how long it lasts on my nails without chipping. I can go up to a week and a half to two weeks without a single chip.
Now Essie isn't perfect at all, their lighter pink/nude shades are normally a hit or miss- as many are sheer and need multiple coats and are still not opaque yet. So if you are looking for an opaque color, try the deeper light colors.
The price range is pretty different depending on where you live... in Canada it's around $9-11 per bottle and it c can be as cheap as $8 if you find them on sale.

I picked this palette up on sale at my local drugstore and after returning home and testing it out I wish I had bought more.
This palette comes with eight shades and I mainly use the left side more because it has more neutral colours. I love using the yellow browbone colour for my inner corner and using the definer (deep cocoa brown) as a more natural shadow liner. If I want to darken up my look I would use the crease colour (black) on the right of the palette as a liner instead.
All the colours are quite pigmented and buttery soft which is what I love about these shadows. You can definitely create multiple different looks and go from day to night easily and for the price it's amazing. No complaints with the packaging as it seems nice and sturdy and you can see all the colous clearly- nothing fancy. There is no fall out with the shadows too even the colours with some glitter in it.
I will be purchasing more of these shadows because of the price, quality, and how long lasting it is on me even without a primer.

I bought this product for $6 and for the price this is not worth for what it does. I picked up the shade watermelon and on the cap its a mauvey pink color. The product color is pretty accurate to the cap, but there's hot pink shimmers in it. When i apply it to my lips its pretty frosty looking. Maybe the lip shimmers are supposed to do that. This product also wears off pretty quickly and when it does, it makes my lips feel really dry. Though when you freshly apply the balm, it gives a really nice tingly feeling, which is nice.
If you have dry cracks in your lips, this product escentuates the cracks. These lip shimmers feel really smooth when you apply them and they smell like mint which is something i love!
The only reason i didn't this product is because they look frosty and frosty lip products don't look well on me. But if these were on sale i would probably try them again in one of the darker colors. :)

When i first bought this mascara I didn't like it much because it would be a tiny bit too clumpy, but i found that wiping off the brush when you take the wand out to get some product off works well. It gives my short asian lashes that dont hold a curl volume! It lasts the whole day for me using the blow dryer trick. I haven't tried many other mascaras, so i wouldn't say its my holy grail, but it's definitely one of my favourites that i've tried. Also it goes on sale quite often at the drugstores like Superstore, Shoppers,etc. -

I have the shade peach parfait, so far these lip butters look and feel nice on the lips. It gives a really pretty natural sheen to my lips, but doesn't last a long time. Peach parfait has some gritty glitter in it,but it's not too annoying. Maybe the other shades in this line are more moisturizing, since i found this one to feel a bit drying.
Overall, if you are looking for a lip product that isnt too pigmented or too sheer, these lip butters might be an option for you! I heard they come in about 20 shades so you will be sure to find one that will work for you.
