My hair tends to fall flat within a couple of hours of styling. However, this product really helped to stop that form happening. Per the directions, I used put some on a vent brush and ran it through my wet hair. This gave me an even distribution. After blow-drying my hair with my head upside down, I definitely had volume. I styled my hair, and went out for the night and it stayed looking good. Even after sleeping on it, my hair still looked good and had volume. Excellent drug store product at inexpensive price! My new go-to mousse! -

I have not been impressed with Rimmel products in the past. I did not find they were up to par with other drugstore brands.
I bought this because I forgot my concealer and needed one for after work. I was on sale, and relatively inexpensive and I viewed it as a one-time thing.
Well, it turned out to be a great product. It goes on nice and smooth, and blends very well. It works particularly well on my under-eye circles.

I received this product as a part of the product review club...I received boxes to share with friends/family.
I have always liked my lips. They are full, with a well defined cupid's bow. Because of this, I did not have high expectations for this product, and it was not one I would buy in store.
First I used step one on the outside of my lips. I was pleasantly surprised when just after that step, I could notice a difference in the way my mouth looked. Being 27, I don't have noticeable wrinkles, but Step 1 made my mouth look very smooth.
I was also happy with the results of Step 2, applied on to my lips. As mentioned, I already have full lips, but this product gave me the "I've just been making out for an hour" kind of lips. It enhanced my already full lips by making them very kissable looking.
The product is very easy to apply and works well as a lip primer. As I already have full lips, I don't know that I would buy it for $20 in store, but I am hoping mine will last me a while (especially if I don't use it everyday). This would be totally worth it, however, for someone who has thinner lips, and for women who are aging and find themselves with more wrinkles and thinning lips. I will probably find myself buying this product regularly in 15-20 years!!

Love this blush! I finally jsut bought it for the very first time, after reading so much about it.
The colour is gorgeous and gives a really natural glow. It takes very little to give you colour. It's very versatile and works for day and night.
The cost is high though, but I am ok spending that on blush a few times a year.

I love this mascara. It is just like it's LashBlast cousin but with a little shimmer. Yes, it's hard to see the shimmer, but I knew it was there. I did a comparison between the two and I could tell the difference (had the regular and luxe versions on each eye). I boughtthis in platinum, and will soon try one of the other colours. -

Smoky ShadowBlast is a double-sided eye shadow stick. One side is the light colour with a fat tip, the other side is the dark colour with a thin tip. You use the light colour form lashline to brow bone, and the dark colour on the lashline and in your eyelid crease. It comes in few colour varieties, but I bought it in Onyx which was pearly white on one side and black on the other because I wanted a classic smokey look.
My first complaint was the shadow is VERY dry. It did not blend well at all, even after applying an eye shadow primer.
The 2nd complaint is that once I got the eye shadow to look decent, it only last a couple of hours before creasing majorly (again, even with the use of an eye shadow primer that has worked every other time I've used it).
This product made my eyes look smokey for a very short time. Smoky ShadowBlast failed big time.

I bought this jacket 3 years ago in the colour Tan. It is 100% down, made in Canada and so warm. Totally worht spedning the money on, especially because they have a lifetime warranty...which after 3 years, I have not had to use. The coat looks nice and keeps me warm, I just wish it had the Canada Goose patch on the arm like my Chilliwack. I like it because it covers my butt, and has a removeable hood (which is great for when I'm driving, because otherwise the hood blocks my blind spot, and I get fur in my mouth). The pockets are fleece-lined so my hands stay nice and toasty. -

Canada Goose parkas are sooooooo warm. I got my women's Chilliwack parka in white last year, and I love it. I love the tunnel hood with fur trim, because I don't need to wear a hat. The pockets are lined with fleece so I don't need gloves. They are made in Canada which is a rarity. And the company stands by their products. They come with a lifetime warranty, which I haven't had to use yet, but I know that when I do, it won't be a problem using it. The white is hard to keep clean, but if you are careful, you can manage. They also come in other colours, but the white really stood out to me. The only down-side is they are dry-clean only, and you really need to find a reputable dry cleaner since the parka costs so much. -

These boots are rated to -25°F (-32°C) and are sooooo comfy! They look amazing and stylish, but provide a functionality that is necessary in Canada during the winter months. They are costly (at $150-$190 a pair), but so worth it. Sorel really sets the standards when it comes to very warm, waterproof, and fashionable boots! -
Annabelle Cosmetics Kohl Eyeliner
The waterproof version is my go-to eyeliner. It lasts all day, and can't be beat for the price! I love the colour selection, although my favourite is black!
