I'm "okay" with China Glaze. It's a bit better than the department store brands (ie Revlon and Sally Hansen) but still not comparable with OPI or Nails Inc (in my opinion of course). I find that I need a few more coats to get good coverage and colour. I will admit that I like their Crackle line over OPI's Shatter. It doesn't dry up in the bottle as quickly as OPI. Since I'm happy with OPI no need for me to venture to China Glaze really. -
Maybelline New York Great Lash Mascara
Good for "natural" looking, everyday lashes. Not clumpy. But NOT my go-to if I have a night on the town and want something more dramatic.

After using a bunch of different body lotions over the years, from drug store brands such as Aveeno, Vaseline, Nivea to department store brands like Biotherm and everything in between such as Avojuice from OPI, Bath and Body Works, Body Shop, Crabtree and Evelyn, I think I found one that I really love. Don't get me wrong, the other brands are great. Expecially the more expensive ones, but I'm trying to find one with a reasonable price.
I've tried two bottles of the Scentsation Lotion and so far am loving it. This is made by CND, the same compnay that makes Shellac Nail Polish. It's not greasy and has great lasting power and really hydrates my skin, escpecially my dry legs in the winter! Even my husband said to me the other night how soft my skin is (which prompted this review). They come in a variety of lovely scents. The scents to linger for those who don't like scented lotions. The down side is that these are not easy to find. You may find them at a nail salon but not that many places carry them which is ashame. But if you do run across them, do give them a try!

The Body Shop Candied Ginger Hand Cream
Not a bad hand cream for the price compared to Crabtree and Evelyn (which I'll save for another review). I picked up the 50ml size after Christmas when it was 50% off. Perfect size for throwing in a purse. I love this scent because it does smell... +
Not a bad hand cream for the price compared to Crabtree and Evelyn (which I'll save for another review). I picked up the 50ml size after Christmas when it was 50% off. Perfect size for throwing in a purse. I love this scent because it does smell like "ginger"... it's not a strong sent so good in the office for those who work in an office where people get easily offended by "scents". -

One of the better polishes on the market, with a huge selection of colours, OPI is my brand "go to" nail polish brand. My only complaint is that some colours require 1-2 coats and others require more to get good colour saturation. BUT the colours come out true to what you see on the bottle and has good staying power, with a good top coat. -

Okay, cold sores are not the most attractive items to review but I always have to have a tube of Abeva close by, especially during the colder dryer months. I was just reminded by how quickly this works, my cold sore was gone in one day. This product is super effective! The downside, is that it doesn't come cheap. At about $20 for a small tube! But if you have to buy something for cold sores, this is the brand to buy. -

I have natural nails so with most nail poilsh, the stay time is limited as well as needing a few coats to get a nice even colour. I just discovered this company at the local Sephora. It cost $12 which is similar to OPI and Spiritual. But I just love how saturated the colour comes out even with just one coat (I usually do a minimum of 3 coats with OPI). I've worn my new polish for 7 day exactly and with the exception of some minor chipping at the tips, the coverage is still very good, when compared to other brands (with a top coat of course). The colours are a bit limited so far and I can only fine them at Sephora but I'll for sure pick up more of this brand as colour become availble. -
