Maybelline New York Master Drama Eyeliner
Very good drug store brand eyeliner. Goes on smooth with great staying power. I find it just a slightly cheaper version of Mac's Kohl Liners at half the price.

This is one of my "must haves". I travel with it everywhere I go. I have one in my purse, my gym bag and at my desk at work. I practically have no brows and have tried many pencils etc., this is by far my favorite. It doesn't go on clumpy but more importantly doesn't look "fake". The price is very good compared to designer brands, yet is a great quality for a drug store brand. I wouldn't trade this in for anything! -
Oogie's Gourmet Popcorn

I've been on a popcorn craving for the last two months, so manged to have tried two flavours. The Pepper and Asiago and the Original Sweet Corn.
I'm not a fan of the Pepper and Asiago one... it's not as strong in taste as I would prefer. Basically if it's not really "cheesy". The Seet Corn one is like a Carmel corn... sweet! It's okay for a few bites but too sweet for more than a handful at a time. Overall it's okay, not the best that I've tried. I prefer Popcorn Indiana still.

OPI Shatter Nail Polish

The Shatter line is fun and gives you a different look. Black works great over so many different colours. Though I do find that after about 4-5 uses, it does dry and clump up in the bottle. I actually found that the other colours in Shatter work better than black. Not sure if it's a different formula or not. Compared to China Glaze's Crackle line (same concept) OPI does seem to have a better application. The "shatter" seems to apply more evenly so that the bottom colour comes through... mind you this is before it started to dry out in the bottle. -
Seche Vite Dry Fast Top Coat
I read most of the reviews on this product before writing my own. I must say that I'm pretty fortunate that I buy this from a wholesale beauty supply store, as I only pay about $6.00 for it. Come to think of it, I only pay $5.50 for OPI! So when... +
I read most of the reviews on this product before writing my own. I must say that I'm pretty fortunate that I buy this from a wholesale beauty supply store, as I only pay about $6.00 for it. Come to think of it, I only pay $5.50 for OPI! So when it comes to prices I really can't complain! Regarding the product itself, it really works as a top coat! Shinny and extends the wear of my polish. It dry's pretty quickly but make sure the polish below is dry before applying. Since using this brand, I don't think I've bought any other brands of top coat. -

I tried my first Zumba class with Zumba Fitness in Burnaby, BC back in January, and I've been a fan ever since. This place only opened up in October 2011 and already has a crazy following. The classes are packed!
This is a professional studio, with dance lighting, mirrors and a raised stage so that you can actually see the instructor. I've looked into other classes and find that they are just in local community centres and do not have the same facilities. At the Latin Fitness Studio there's dance lighting which really helps to set the tone. It's also a plus as it makes the place darker, so you don't feel as odd with two left feet. The instructors here are fun and encouraging and the 1 hour work out really gives me energy and gets my heart rate moving. They have several Zumba class in the morning and then in the evening. As well as a Zumba Toning, Reggaeton and Kick Boxing class.
The cost of the class is reasonable if you buy 10 or 20 stamp card instead of a drop in rate. This is a unisex place but about 99% are women that attend.
Very high energy and totally addicting!

OPI Avojuice Skin Quenchers

Thought I'd do a review on this one just cause a bottle of it is sitting on my desk at work (one of many brands), and I've just spent the last 10 minutes applying it. As far as a "body lotion" goes, I'd say give it a pass. It's not rich enough to moisturize. As a "hand lotion" it's fair for the price. It's not as good as the expesive stuff (ie. L'Occitaine) but I guess you get what you pay for. The positives - I love the scent, and it seems to have good lasting power scent wise. I'm typing well on my computer after having applied it a few minutes ago, so it's not greasy. The pump bottle helps as you don't have to mess around with caps. If you get it stick to it as just a hand lotion and get something better for a body lotion. -

I'm not a soap person, as I prefer liquid washes/scrubs instead, but Dove is the only bar soap I have at home. I especially love the Winter Care scent. Very fresh without being fruity or floral or overly feminine, so that even my husband enjoys using it (without smelling like a girl... or so he says). I bought some after Christmas when it went on sale. Can't usually find this scent during the summer, so always good to stock up when I see it. -
Lysol No-Touch Hand Soap System
Got this as part of a free rebate so I didn't pay anything for it. BUT I personally would not pay the $10-12 for it. I rather get a generic one for more money ($30 to $50) that allowes me to re-fill with the handsoap of my choice. Don't get me... +
Got this as part of a free rebate so I didn't pay anything for it. BUT I personally would not pay the $10-12 for it. I rather get a generic one for more money ($30 to $50) that allowes me to re-fill with the handsoap of my choice. Don't get me wrong, I love the scent of the soap that comes with the dispenser. But would rather not have the extra packaging everytime. I personally find thre's too much soap with each pump. I wish that you can adjusts the quanitity. -
AG BigWigg Root Volumizer

This is the one and only hair product that I cannot live without! No joke! I have very fine and thinning hair. Blame in on age or genetics! But a touch of AG's root volumizer before I blow it out creats a whole lot of volume, to the point where you can't even see my scalp. I usually use it with the spray body for an added boost if needed. -
