Loove this ! It's the only pad I use. It's thin and super absorbent - the only time its ever leaked on me is if I've been laying on the same side for long periods of time. Its never leaked due to over capacity, even when I was sure it would. It's done better for me than any other pad has, and I have no plans to try out any other line or brand. -

First, here's what Marcelle has to say about it:
It has a moisturizing Maxi-Lip complex that hydrates your lips' delicate skin and adds sexy volume. Replete with avocado and Omega-6 oils, its formula prevents dry, cracked lips and restores moisture. Its creamy, velvety and non-sticky texture ensures total comfort. Hypoallergenic and perfume-free.
And I completely agree !
As a fine owner of a pair of dry cracked lips in the winter, this stuff glides on effortlessly, and is super moisturing. It's creamy texture and great pigmentation has lead this to be my all time favourite, holy grail lipstick.
It comes in 3 different formulas, from cream, to pearl, to amplified, and come in 21 different shades. The only difference between the pearl formula to the cream is that the pearl isnt as creamy - (well duh), but its nothing that makes me want to steer clear of any of them.
Nothing bad to say about them, love love love em !

Loove this bb cream ! I have dry skin and although it's not terribly moisturising, its not drying at all, which is a bonus for me. Most days I end up wearing it as my 'foundation', top up any blemishes with a little concealer, powder to set it all, and voila ! Its a great start to any lazy day makeup look. -

I've been hesitant to try any kind of liner on my lid due to a bad experience in high school, but this liner has turned my mind right around. Its consistancy and staying power is very comparable to that of bobby brown's gel liners, and is available for just a fraction of the cost. The packaging is very similar to high end gel liners as well, and it also includes an applicator brush. When it comes to what brush to use for a gel liner it really depends on what you prefer, but whatever your preferences may be, this brush gets the job done.
This liner is definatly smudge proof, and won't go anywhere until you want it off. It removes very easily with makeup remover wipes, however I haven't tried taking it off with water alone, so I can't comment about that.
Overall, I would recomend this to anyone looking for a low cost gel liner, or anyone who struggles with liquid liners as a practice type product.

This product is a 3 in one, which clames to remove makeup, hydrate your skin, and tone the skin.
I found that as a makeup remover it worked fairly well, but required a little more rubbing around the eye area in order to remove all of my eyeliner and mascara. I have very dry skin, so for being hydrating I found that it did keep my skin fairly moisturised, but I still needed to use a moisturiser about once a day.
I definatly noticed a difference in my skin when I stopped using this, there was more marks left behind from acne once it had gone and in general I started noticing more and more flaws, and thus I've started using it again.
Overall I recomend this to someone who is looking for a moisturising toner, and not so much on the makeup removing part. Although if you are look for a 3 in one type product, this is probably one of the better ones I've come across.

I'll admit, I haven't been all too patient waiting for these to come to Canada after hearing all the hype from the U.S, but at long last, they're here !
They're not your typical lip balm, lipstick, or lip gloss, but if anything they're practically a hybrid of all three. The packaging and pigmentation of a lipstick, the texture of a lip balm, and a glossy finish of a lip gloss. There is the faintest sweet scent to them which I absolutly love and wish was stronger, but I give them props to appeal to a larger group by not making the scent too over powering. As for the packaging it's pretty much your typical lipstick tube with a clear top which allows you to see the true colour of the product.
Overall, I couldn't be happier with my purchase, and hope I can find more at another Shopper's sometime soon.

This is the first high end concealer I have tried, and so far I'm not a fan. The creamy consistency of the product appeals to me, but that's about the only thing going for it.
It hardly coverd up anything, and it emphasized every last flake of dry skin I put it over. Mind you I do have fairly dry skin in the winter, so I might recomend this to someone with oily skin since it did stay in place all day, but it's definaty not a product for the dry skin folks. There is a colour range of 3 (light, medium, dark) and if your not one of them, it's virtually impossible to blend out (at least on dry skin).
So overall, love the feel, hate the rest.

This is an eau de toilette, so the fragrence is light, but the staying power is terrible. I'm not entirely sure if this is the case with all Bath & Body Works perfumes since this is the only one I've tried, but scent wise, I love it, which basically sums up why I bought it in the first place. It's a sweet semi floraly scent that I'm in love with, but I have found that there are many other scents very similar to this.
I suppose if you're alright with re-applying your perume every hour or so, this would probably be an okay product for you, but I'm someone who doesn't like carrying around my perfume with me, thus a not so great review.

Revlon ColorStay Makeup with Softflex

One of the best drugstore foundations that I have come accross, ever. Full coverage, lasts until you take it off, just that kind of amazing. I have dry skin in the winter, so I picked up the normal/dry skin formulation. Unlike most high end foundations, this does not cling to and emphasise my dry areas - which is basically my entire face. The next day my face was insanely less dry, which I'm not sure comes as a promise with this foundation but by all means is fine by me.
As far as price goes, it is a little pricey for drugstore foundations, but if it performes better than all high end ones I have tried, so I'll be just fine.
I have nothing bad to say about this foundation, and I would recomend it to anyone with dry skin in a heart beat.
