I can confirm that this is a very good waterproof mascara. Broke down crying at work today several times and it didn’t budge. Can be a little difficult to remove at the end of the day because of how effective it is, so invest in a good makeup remover. The Super Sizer mascara that I love as my go to but with a perfected waterproof formula. -

I had high hopes for this primer because I'd seen many reviews from people with oily skin saying that they loved this product. Unfortunately, it didn't wow me as as much as it did for them. It doesn't do a great job at reducing the look of pores or getting rid of shine. Sure, it looks very matte when being applied. But within a few hours I become extremely shiny and need to blot. I've also tried applying my foundation with a sponge and a brush to see if application played a part in length of wear with no differing results. You definitely need to set your foundation with either powder or setting spray so that it doesn't cause it to slide off your face. But if all the appropriate steps are followed, it has a decent length in wear without making my makeup look splotchy at the end of the day. Price-wise, it's also fairly budget friendly at $10 CAD at Shoppers Drugmart. For now, I think it is a decent fall/winter primer for me. However, come summer I'll need a more efficient primer to keep my makeup on during the humid summer heat. -

Unfortunately, I returned this product after trying it out. I don’t typically have sensitive skin, but geez this product made my face burn. And not like in a tingly menthol way, but like it didn’t agree with my skin. It took several minutes for my face to stop stinging after rinsing. I’ve read several reviews where people have said the same thing. I LOVE Bioré products though, and haven’t had an issue with any of their products until I tried this one. Wouldn’t recommend this particular cleanser to anyone with sensitive skin. -

I do nail art on my natural nails, which I grow quite long. So when I break a nail on my picture hand it’s like my life is over- I have to put nail art on pause for like a month when the nail grows out or file them all down to a short length to match. So when I broke my nail to the nub I was furious. But then I remembered the Jenna Marbles video where she does acrylic nails with ramen noodles that I watched the day before. And I’m like heck, if Jenna can do a half decent job with ramen noodles, then maybe I can save this nail. So I found this set at Walmart for $15 CAD. Works very well and the instructions are mostly clear. You may want a better buffer from Sally Beauty though, and maybe a good base coat. I watched a few tutorials before I began and did a fairly decent job on my first go. There’s no instructions on how to clean the brush though! I Googled it and ended up just letting it soak in acetone for awhile. Also, the bonding liquid REEKS. Oh boy, crack a window, turn on some fans, and light a candle. To be honest, I couldn’t smell it after 10 minutes but my fiancé freaked out and started febreezing the whole house and started lighting my candles because he hated it so much. If you’re used to going to the salon you’ll already be used to the smell though. -

For the price, this product isn't that bad. I used to only ever use UD's primer but that got a little pricy. You'd think that the product may be too dark/pigmented but it blends out quite well on my fair skin and hides any veins and discolouration without looking like it's too dark for my skin tone. Eyeshadows applies nice and pigmented, and as with any primer I use there is a little bit of creasing after 8-9 hours (but I have oily skin and no matter what I do with any product, it will always settle into my deep creases). Overall I think I'll start purchasing this product as a cheaper substitution for the UD primer. -

I was sent this mask free to review from Chick Advisor. It retails at about $13 CAD and is supposed to be ideal for people with oily skin. I've tried the product a couple times now, and I can't say I'm 'wowed' by it. It's honestly quite average in comparison to the other drugstore peel off masks that I've tried by other brands (ie. Bioré, Neutrogena, etc). I didn't find that it did the best job at mattifying my face or clearing my oily T-zone. My face felt clean and a little moisturized after, and I'm more used to peel off masks that target oily skin leaving my face a little dryer.
It applies easily and even though it's blue when it comes out of the bottle, it goes on quite sheer. It's very tacky/gooey and a little difficult to wash from your hands when it's still wet. Peeling it off is easy-ish. You have to use a thick even layer otherwise you will have a hard time peeling it off in one try. Because it dries very thin, you'll have to kind of pick at an edge or rub it a little create a part that you can start peeling from. It wasn't painful to peel off, but you definitely don't want to get it near your hairline (which can be difficult to manage because it's sheer while applying, so you can't always tell how close you've gotten it to your eyebrows, and can be difficult to remove).
Not the best peel off mask I've used, but not the worst. Kind of a meh product, and I probably wouldn't purchase it myself.

I received this product free to review from Chick Advisor. For the value, you get a fair amount for about $4 CAD. If you ration it well, you can get at least 2-3 uses out of it. I like how the product smells like soft and citrusy grapefruit. After use it left my skin feeling clean and fresh. Felt a little dry afterwards but I'd rather it feel dry than oily, and I have very oily skin. If you're worried about it leaving your skin too dry you can pair it with a good moisturizer. Great for a girls' night in! -

If you read my review headline, you must think I'm stupid for getting this in my hair, so let me explain. But first, let me tell you that I received this product free to review from Chick Advisor to test and review.
You get enough product in this package for at least 2 uses if you manage how much you put on your face well. You really only need a thin, even layer or product to be spread over your face. The thicker you leave it on, the longer it will take to dry. So if you apply it too thick, even after the recommended 20 mins of wear time, the product may not peel off efficiently.
So I've seen enough YouTube videos of people applying peel off face masks to know not to get this product in my hair. But I didn't realize I had so many baby hairs growing close to my ears! So when I started to peel the product off my face, it started going well... it didn't hurt - just felt like I was pulling my skin a bit. But OMG pulling it off my baby hairs hurt like heck! You have to rip the mask off like a bandaid at that point. Learned my lesson for next time though!
The product is about $4 at Walmart so if you can get 2 uses out of it then that's a pretty good deal. I couldn't tell if it pulled out any sebum from my pores because it doesn't show well over the bright pink mask, but I liked how clean, fresh, and less oily my face felt after use. Also good to note that if you wear this product it will 100% look like you've smeared Pepto Bismol all over your face.

I received this product free to review from Chick Advisor. First of all, I love the clean and light citrus smell of pink grapefruit! Also, the cap has a really subtle heart shape that is pretty cute.
For anyone saying this product applies thick instead of foamy, if you read the instructions the bottle suggests using only a dime-sized amount and the more water = the more bubbles! So yes, if you're not using a lot of water the product can go on a little thick, but you're allowed to water it down to work up a bubblier lather. A little truly goes a long way!
After use, my face feels so clean and fresh! My skin feels way less oily. For the value (about $10 CAD at Walmart), I would say that this is a great price for this product, especially because you can really stretch such a small amount of product.

I received this tea free to review from Chick Advisor. This tea is great when you need to de-stress. Lavender and chamomile are known for their calming effects. I’ll definitely drink this flavour at the end of a long day, or when I’m sick or feeling under the weather. Tastes great with a little bit of sugar added for a hint of sweetness to pair with the cinnamon. -
