I received a large gift basket filled with MANY Yves Rocher products as an end of the year gift from one of my students.
I will be offering my opinion on them over the next several weeks.
The first product is an anti-aging day cream that is targeted to women over the age of forty. I have been using this cream for about six weeks now. I was experiencing very dry skin and I am so happy at how this anti-aging cream has made my skin feel nourished and much smoother. This is a thick cream that has a fresh and light smell. Once applied, it doesn't leave a greasy feel to your skin. It kept my skin soft for six to eight hours and I was able to apply BB cream, or foundation over the top of the anti-aging cream without it looking caked on.
What a wonderful gift!

I find this particular eyeliner pencil needs to be sharpened often and the tip of it becomes very soft, therefore it breaks easily.
It does apply very smoothly and stays on quite well. It is waterproof and does contain a bit of glitter added. It is a very soft charcoal grey shade. I think I would prefer a darker, more prominent black pigment.
For the cost, I am uncertain if I would want to buy it again ($5.99) as it doesn't seem to last very long. I have been using it for two weeks and it is half gone already.

I purchased this mascara at Rexall for $5.99 and I have been using it for approximately one month now.
It is a large tube with a large brush. I always buy waterproof mascara and have been since I was in my twenties. I find that this mascara is very easy to remove. It does build volume and length, however it takes SEVERAL minutes between coats to dry. In addition, if you do not wait until it dries properly, your eyelashes will look all clumpy.
Once it is dry, it will last a very long time on your eyelashes (all day and night until you remove it very easily with makeup remover).

The colors are very pigmented and absolutely perfect for the fall season. They stay on the entire day (12-14 hours).
I will have many opportunities to use this Quo eyeshadow palette as I have many items of clothing in my wardrobe that are purplish plum colored.

I received this lipstick as a gift from a co-worker because she knows how much I enjoy trying different lipsticks.
It goes on very smoothly, and will remain on your lips for a few hours before you must re-apply (provided that you do not eat, or drink).
It looks dark when you see it in the case, however it is a light burgundy shade.
I think that the regular retail on this lipstick is $15-$18 at Shoppers Drug Mart.

This is the first time I purchased Joe Fresh eyeshadow. It was on sale for $4.99 at the Superstore.
The three shades are a frosty pale pink, a frosty silver, and a matte charcoal grey.
It comes with a mirror on the top of the lid and a plastic instruction diagram (large enough to see clearly) on exactly where to apply each color on your eyes.
I found it blends very easily and remains put all day.
For the price, I was very satisfied with it!

I have an olive complexion so I find it difficult finding lipstick shades that compliment my skin tone. This lipstick was on sale at the Superstore for $4.99 so I thought I would try it out.
It goes on fairly well and does not contain an unpleasant taste. It does not stay on super well (transfers easily to coffee cup). For me personally, it is a very light shade of pink, perfect for summer wear but not appropriate for fall or winter.
I am happy that I tried it, and hopefully I can find a much darker shade.

You can usually pick up a large bag of these Two Bite Brownies for five dollars. These are our family's favorite brownies. They are definitely the moistest brownies that I have ever tasted. You only need a few to satisfy a sweet craving because they are so flavourful ( a little piece of chocolate heaven). -

These Kashi Dark Mocha Almond granola bars are made with whole grain oats. They are chewy and packed with large chunks of almonds and mini dark chocolate chips. The mocha flavor is delicious and so yummy because it has a tiny bit of a coffee taste to it.
These were on the half price rack at No Frills, and I am so thrilled that I had the opportunity to taste them because I do not think that I would have purchased them at the regular price. I am very happy and satisfied with my purchase.

For approximately eighty eight cents, you can not go wrong with this PC mac and cheese. It has a delicious white cheddar sauce and it costs half as much as KD.
I only cook the pasta for three minutes because I do not enjoy mushy pasta.
I would definitely but this again and again!
