Almay Oil-Free Gentle Eye Makeup Remover Pads

I used to really like these make up remover pads until I tried Micellar water. It's okay for removing eyeshadow, but it's not very good at removing stubborn mascara, let alone of the waterproof variety. Nor is it very good at removing eyeliner without heavily wiping it. Also, once I near the bottom of the product, I find that the wipes are more prone to irritating my eyes. In the past I would have recommended this product, but now I know there are better products out there. -

I've been using this product for about a month now, and I feel as though the formula is almost exact to their baking soda cleanser. The formulas smell and feel the same, and have had the same effect on my skin. The only difference I find is that the baking soda cleanser has microbeads in it. Perhaps the baking soda cleanser was a rebrand of this product? Who knows! Regardless, I enjoy this cleanser and how good it's been to my skin thus far, and it's been doing a very good job at fighting acne. Can be drying though, so I would pair it with a good moisturizer. -

I got this as a gift with a few other Essence mascaras for Christmas. First off, the packaging is adorable! I love how the cap looks like a laced up corset. Second, it's super inexpensive. I was really surprised by this mascara and how much I liked it. It gives really good volume and great lash definition. It can clump a little bit at the lash tips but it's easy to brush away with a lash comb or clean spool. It doesn't flake during the day and has pretty good staying power. Before trying this mascara my go to was Cover Girl Supersizer but I might just have a new favourite! -
Essence I Love Extreme Volume Waterproof Mascara

Not my go to, and not a whole lot of volume. However, the giant brush actually does give crazy lash definition that blew my mind, and it is really waterproof! When I get sick my eyes leak as if I'm crying. I wore it to work and despite my leaking eyes all day this formula didn't budge! I would definitely recommend this to anyone who is prone to crying or needs something to wear to a sad movie. It's especially good for a more natural look! -
UNT Ready For Takeoff Peelable Base Coat
I'll only ever use it if I'm wearing a really glittery nail polish. But for me I just can't seem to get this to work properly. I've tried double coats. I've tried wrapping the tips. It always chips during the day, or I'll have one whole nail... +
I'll only ever use it if I'm wearing a really glittery nail polish. But for me I just can't seem to get this to work properly. I've tried double coats. I've tried wrapping the tips. It always chips during the day, or I'll have one whole nail disappear on me. Removal doesn't come off in one go like I've seen on YouTube videos for me. I've even tried soaking my nails with cuticle oil to help it come off. Sometimes the nails will come off in a few large chunks and other times I'm spending a few minutes per nail trying to chip away at it. Unless I can figure it out I can't recommend it to anyone. -

Bought this when I was over in the States and I'm disappointed that I didn't buy more because I can't seem to buy it online. The tea smells AMAZING - just like strawberry cheesecake! It's also very rich with flavour, tastes sweet, and hardly has a need for any added sugar, milk, or cream. I'm really kicking myself for not buying more, and for not getting the lemon cake or blueberry muffin flavours while I was there. -

This is my favourite go to liquid liner, whether it be for a thin little wing or for a bold cat eye. The formula lasts all day for me which is fantastic. Also very pigmented! My only complaint is that the rubber bit at mouth of the bottle, I think it's called a "reducer" or at least it is with mascara tubes, sometimes tends to come out of the tube, which means I have to use my fingers to push it back in, which is messy and gets wasted product all over my fingers. And it's not that I've had a "bad batch" tube, it's happened to all the tubes I've bought over the years. -

So far I'm enjoying these products but it has it's quirks. When I first bought the skin coloured concealer, it came out really watery (the green colour correcting one didn't though). I still find that sometimes the concealer comes out a bit watery, but the green one comes out really thick.. it's stubborn to squeeze out at times, so when it does come out it kind of gushes so then I have all this extra product I need to use up Otherwise they're pretty good at controlling the amount that comes out. Maybe I got a bad batch, but moving on. They aren't available at many retailers in Canada and those that do carry it tend to overprice it (*cough* Beauty Box *cough*) . I saw it at one retailer for about $10 when it's about $3 in the States. Ended up getting mine for $6-7 on Amazon with free shipping. I find that the green is pretty decent for colour correcting redness, and the skin coloured concealer is pretty high coverage. I don't use them for highlighting/contouring but I know that a lot of people have been using them for that purpose. -

I got this product thinking that it would be a good dupe of Benefit Gimme Brow. It's okay but not fantastic. The colour matches my blonde eyebrows which is great because most shades don't work for me. This was also good because there's only 3 shades. It doesn't make my eyebrows get crunchy or hard like some brow products. While it claims to use fibres to create a fuller look, I found that it didn't do as great of a job as Benefit at making them look fuller, so I still have to do a bit of shaping when using this product. However, I like that this product is inexpensive and extremely affordable. -

Finished my birthday mini of this from Sephora a few weeks ago and I'm starting to miss the little guy. I used it on lazy days because I'm a liquid liner kind of gal. It was really pigmented and applied really easily, and transferred really well onto my waterline. The only downside to this product is the price. I can't justify $30 on an eyeliner but if you can afford it, it's a really nice liner. -
