I've been using this primer for a few weeks now and I really like it. I didn't expect much from a drugstore primer because I've been using brands like Smashbox and Pür lately to prime, but they weren't doing a good job at keeping my face all together throughout the day. I've developed oily skin this year and I've been having a hard time keeping my makeup on all day. It's really good at keeping everything on if you have oily or combo skin. It's a different kind of texture than a normal primer. Comes out white and thick but it applies clear. Altogether I would definitely recommend. -

This product is my most favourite nail polish remover. I've been using it for years and I've tried some other removers, but they just can't hold a candle to this one. I've used it to remove nail polish, glitter, and gel manicures. Sometimes they require a bit of soaking to remove, but Onyx always gets the job done. Hands down my favourite 100% acetone nail polish remover. -
1st Acetone Power Gel No-Rub

Years ago, I saw a Cutepolish review on this product and she raved about how great it was for removing glitter polish. Looking back, it's obvious that it must have been a sponsored video because it sucks. The gel is super sticky and gross all over the skin, and it's not very pleasant to remove. You're also supposed to use paper towel to remove your glitter polish because it eats away at cotton balls, but I found that it ate away at the paper towel as well. It also wasn't very effective at removing my nail polish. Messy and ineffective! -

I was an avid tea and coffee consumer throughout uni, and I've always liked Lipton's teas. This one is one of my favourite flavours. It smells and tastes like mandarin, and is good enough to drink without adding anything. Sometimes I like to add some honey or a bit of sugar to it though. The triangle tea bags are also super cute! -

I wear these in my flats every day and they are very comfortable. If they ever lose stickiness, all you need to do is rinse them off and then re-stick them to the bottom of your shoes. I sometimes even transfer them from one pair of flats to another. I've had the same pair for over a year now, and according to the instructions I should have replaced them after 6 months. However, they've shown no signs of wear aside from discolouration and a bit of smell (but it's next to sweaty feet all day, so smell is to be expected). Would recommend. -

I bought these because I bought a pair of cheap flats that were uncomfortable to wear for more than an hour at a time. I've used Dr. Scholl's For Her Comfort Insoles in the past and loved them. This pair was okay for about two weeks, and then they started to fall apart. The blue fabric started to come apart from the gel part of the insole. The gel on the heel portion of the insole started to harden and turn grey (from exposure to dirt, air, and sweaty feet). I was disappointed and let down by these insoles, as I expected them to last at least a few months. The insoles also slip from side to side as I walk, which is very uncomfortable. Would not recommend, and will go back to using the For Her Comfort Insoles instead. -

I used to have normal skin until this year, and I'm now battling oily skin. All summer, I've been struggling to find a product or method to keep my face intact all day. It's been a struggle, as I've used primer, setting powder, oil-free foundation, and another setting spray (one by NYX which did absolutely nothing for me but make my face look cakey). I was ready to give up until I found this product. Wet N Wild Photofocus setting spray is my now holy grail, go-to, everyday essential in my makeup routine. My face can now last through an entire 9 hour shift at work with a broken AC with minimal wear and tear. I don't know how I lived without it in the past! I had read that it was a great dupe for the Urban Decay setting sprays but I didn't think it would actually make such a noticeable difference in longevity of my makeup. It's also really inexpensive! I got it for just under $7 CAD at my local Walmart. Finding it was a pain in the butt though because Walmart has really downsized their Wet N Wild section. One of my Walmarts stopped carrying the brand altogether, and so have other drugstores in my area. The only flaw with this product is the smell. I don't even know how to describe it. It's just really bad.. It goes away when the product dries but just don't breathe it in while applying. Considering how hard it was to find this product, I kind of want to go back and by a few more just in case this product becomes more of a unicorn to find in the future! -
Timothy's K-Cups Kahlua Blend
Way too sweet for me unfortunately. I had really hoped I'd like this flavour. Would probably be good served over ice as an iced coffee beverage though.

This product may work for others, but it didn't work for me. I was hoping that it would help set my face. All my life I've had normal/combo skin but this summer I've developed oily skin, and my foundation keeps sliding off my face throughout the day. I hoped that this would help, but it hasn't. As for the "white-cast" I've heard about, I haven't had any problems with that. It goes on my skin transparent. However, this product hasn't helped my makeup stay on throughout the day so I'm undecided on if I will buy it in the future. -

I wanted to love this product after reading so many positive reviews on it, I really did. I've used it for about 2 weeks now and can't say I'm wowed by it. This summer, I've developed oily skin (all my life I've had normal/combo skin) and never had a problem with my foundation sliding off my face until this year. I was hoping that this product would help my makeup stay on my face but it hasn't. I've been using primer, pairing it with a setting powder as well, and it still doesn't help. A couple hours after applying my makeup, all of my foundation on my cheeks has melted away. Big thumbs down for me. -
