I purchased this body wash on sale at Shoppers Drug Mart on sale for $2.99, I believe the regular price is around $5. It's a nice big bottle, and the scent is heavenly. I'm a sucker for citrus scents, so it was sort of a given I'd like this one. It's a very uplifting and revitalizing scent. The body wash goes a long way - I've found with some I've used in the past, I had to squirt out what felt like half the bottle onto the pouf to get a decent lather. Not this one! A quick squirt is all you need. After falling so in love with it, I went out and bought a few more bottles! -

Love, love, LOVE this masque! It smells great, and it works wonders on my thick, dry, coarse hair. My split ends and flyaways were smoothed, and even my husband commented on how much softer my hair was to the touch. I literally could not stop running my hands through it! It's lightweight too, my hair didn't look flat, or feel weighed down or greasy. The jar container can be a little pesky with wet hands in the summer, but it's not a big enough problem that I wouldn't buy the masque again - on the contrary, I need to pick up another jar! -

I LOVE this shampoo! I have very dry, coarse, and thick hair. Split ends and flyaways are a huge issue, my hair never looks smooth or silky, let alone feels it! This shampoo fixed that. It lathered up nicely, and when I rinsed my hair didn't feel stripped or dry like it does with some shampoos. I love the salon-y smell too. The only negative I can think of is the size of the bottle. I have SO MUCH HAIR and it takes no time for me to use up the bottle. -
L'Oreal Kids 2-in-1 Smoothie Shampoo & Conditioner

I use this shampoo/conditioner in the Strawberry scent on my childrens hair. I adore the sweet smell, and so do they. It lathers and cleans their hair well, and I find my daughters hair much easier to brush after using compared to other shampoos. I typically pay between $3-$5 which isn't bad, but the bottle is fairly small and with two kids, I go through it quickly. The "tear-free" claim is not entirely accurate either - if the foam gets into either of the kids eyes they are whimpering that it stings and needing their eyes wiped just the same as with any other shampoo. I'm not going to stop buying the product because of that, any shampoo is going to sting a little, but I don't agree with the false advertising. -

I absolutely LOVE this body wash. Luxurious bubbles and a heavenly scent... What more could a girl ask for? It lathers easily, even without a pouf or washcloth, and the creamy, citrusy scent fills the entire bathroom and leaves my skin smelling amazing even after I've dried off. After using it a few times I definitely noticed a change in the texture of my skin as well. The price is on point as it is a fairly large bottle. My one complaint: When I get down to the bottom of the bottle and I want to coax out those last few uses, the shape of the lid makes it difficult to stand upside down. All in all, Nivea could not have more appropriately named this body wash if they tried. -

I have frustrating skin when it comes to choosing a foundation. My forehead, cheeks, nose, and chin get shiny pretty fast, and all other areas of my face tend to get flaky. No cleanser, astringent, lotion or foundation has been able to help me balance things out and last all day, but Revlon ColorStay comes close. I was able to find a shade that almost perfectly matched my skin tone ( I achieved a perfect match by adding powder), which is a feat in itself for me. Application-wise, it goes on smoothly and blends well. A little bit of this foundation goes a long way, as I discovered with my first use. Too much and it's VERY obvious that you're wearing makeup. As the day wore on, the dreaded shine began to appear, although I must say it was a lot better than usual. My only real complaint was that the makeup felt mask-like to me. It promises to be lightweight and comfortable, but I felt the opposite. The best way I can describe it is that I felt acutely aware of having it on my face. I'm not too crazy about the price at $16 for a bottle, but I suppose it's reasonable compared to higher-end brands. All in all, a pretty decent foundation. -

I actually managed to purchase this product at Dollarama for $2! The bottle says it defines and accentuates curls, and that it is for curly hair. My hair is not curly, rather somewhat wavy, and by somewhat I mean I have one big wave at the bottom of my hair (horrible!). For me, this product went above and beyond it's claims. I sprayed it on damp hair after using my normal frizz-fighting serum, and scrunched. It transformed my hair into gorgeous, beachy waves that lasted all day. On top of that, they still looked gorgeous the next day! With some other curling sprays or mousses I have used in the past, my hair curled how I wanted it, but looked and felt crispy. Yuck! Not this this spray. My hair was touchably soft, and didn't look contrived. I looked like I have natural curly/wavy hair. I definitely recommend this product! -

I grabbed Hard Candy Blush Crush Baked Blush at Walmart recently on a whim, never having used a Hard Candy product before. The cute packaging is what initially caught my eye. I've been searching for a more "glowy" blush for ages, but didn't want anything overly sparkly. This blush is exactly what I was looking for! I purchased number 126 - Pin Up, and I am so in love with it! It goes on smooth and makes my face look illuminated and radiant without being overdone. The packaging says you can use it wet or dry. I was a little dubious about using it wet, as I was afraid it would look streaky. It doesn't. I just moistened my blush brush with a little water, and swept it on... it looks as beautiful as it does dry, it just stands out a little more. Wet is definitely good for going out at night, while dry is more subtle and natural for daytime wear. Another bonus about Hard Candy is they don't test their products on animals. I definitely recommend this product, it's a quality blush for a good price ($7)! -
