LOVE this toner! It really helped keep my very oily skin balanced. It has a lower ph level and is a ph balancing toner so it makes sure your skin's acid mantel isn't damaged. When a product's ph is too high it can cause acne and more oil production. This didn't cause any breakouts on my acne prone skin. It actually helped clear it. It has a bit of an alcohol smell but it's not too bad. A bottle of this lasts a while as well. I didn't notice my pores any smaller but that's expected since no product will shrink pores. I'd recommend it if your skin is oily and acne prone. -

I have used a few different brands of setting powder and I always seem to come back to this one. I use translucent and it's great at blending right into my foundation colour. It doesn't leave a white cast or cause any flashback in photos. It keeps my pretty oily t-zone matte for hours before I need to touch up. At best it lasts about 4 hours before I might need to blot a bit but with my skin that's really good. This pan also lasts me a good few months before I need to replace it (although I seem to initially hit pan quickly) and that's with daily use. The one thing I would change is the packaging. The lack of a mirror can be annoying and I have cracked the lid before. But honestly that's so minor that it's really not a big deal. I'd recommend this if you're looking for a good, inexpensive setting powder. -

I tried a few different flavours of these cubes and they're all really nice. They kept my lips soft, added a bit of shine and were not sticky at all. In fact, they almost melted on my lips giving them a watery feeling. A cube lasts a while even if you use it daily (a few months I'd guess). All the flavours had a little bit of menthol feel but the fruitier ones not as much as the mint. I like these but if you have extremely chapped lips I'd go for something more medicated/ thicker. This is a great everyday Chapstick to keep lips soft. -

The gel in this is nice and thick and stays on my face throughout the day. I used the darkest shade and it works for my dark brown eye brows. It has a little bit of an auburn undertone to it but not a strong one. The powder is suppose to seal it or lighten it I guess but it isn't really useful because it doesn't actually do much. For the price ($3.99 at Walmart) this is a great product especially if you've never used a gel brow kit before. The brush it comes with isn't great so invest in a real one. Also, this works great as a liner! -

This is a hit or miss product for me. It sometimes makes my makeup stay better and it sometimes doesn't do anything. However, it never ruins my makeup or does anything negative to my face like breakout or burn. I find its effectiveness depends on how I prep my face (primer vs no primer, what cream I use before etc.) and what makeup I put on. It doesn't make my makeup bleed or separate and helps get rid of that really dry, powdery look my setting powder can cause so that's nice. It is pretty inexpensive so worth trying out if you're interest in using a setting spray. It does not have a dewy finish or add any shine. I'm not sure I'd buy it again but I might. -
Revlon Easy Squeeze Cuticle Nipper
Nothing bad to say about this. Easy to use, does what it's meant too, not uncomfortable in your hand (although a rubber grip would be nice to keep it from slipping if you have cream or oil on) or too big/small. Stays sharp for years as well. I've... +
Nothing bad to say about this. Easy to use, does what it's meant too, not uncomfortable in your hand (although a rubber grip would be nice to keep it from slipping if you have cream or oil on) or too big/small. Stays sharp for years as well. I've had the same one for over 6 years and I'd recommend it. -

Pretty standard nail polish remover. It works well at taking off any brand of polish I use (opi, sally Hansen, revlon etc.). I don't think it really strengthened my nails because I usually wash my hands after I take off polish so it's not on long enough to do anything. However, it didn't dry them out like cheaper brands. I'd recommend it. -

I received this product to try for free in exchange for my honest opinion. Of all the products in this line this was by far my favourite. My skin is oily, acne prone and sensitive at times. Face creams are the hardest things for me to buy because they often make my skin a slick show, ESPECIALLY if it has any kind of SPF in it. This did not do that! I was so surprised at the fact that my face did not get any more oily than normal wearing it. It was soft, moisturized and it didn't break me out or cause any reaction.. The cream itself is lightweight. The scent is nice, light and citrusy. It absorbs really quickly and my makeup goes over it flawlessly. One pump is enough to moisturize my face and neck so one of these would last a good amount of time. This is a great morning moisturizer and i'd buy it again. -

I received this product to try for free in exchange for my honest opinion. This was my second favourite product in this line. My skin is oily, acne prone and sensitive at times. I liked that this cream has a serum and moisturizer. The scent is nice, light and citrusy. It absorbs pretty quick and is sticky for only a few minutes. After using this for a few weeks my face was soft, moisturized and it didn't break me out or cause any reaction. I feel like it helped my acne scars a little which is probably due to the Vitamin C however, there isn't a high enough amount in it to see a dramatic result. One pump is enough to moisturize my face and neck so one of these would last a good amount of time. Sometimes it doesn't dispense evenly, especially if you don't store it upright and one side ran out a bit before the other so that is a con. However, I still really liked it and would consider buying it again. -

I received this product to try for free in exchange for my honest opinion. This was my least favourite product in this line. My skin is oily, acne prone and sensitive at times. This product has a strong alcohol smell to it which is very different from all the other pleasant smelling products in the line. The pads are well soaked but a little rough in texture. They do exfoliate my skin and remove dead skin/ dirt but they also cause me to break out and dried out my face. I tried these a few times (usually once a week) and had to get rid of them because they were just too strong and didn't work well with my skin. I would not buy or recommend these. -
