I just received this product for review and I'm really excited to write about it - I love it! I'm wearing shade 201 - a very light and warm rose colour. I like how the colour is subtle but it still makes my lips pop!
The lipstick itself is the perfect curve for application and the case is too cute. My favourite this about this lipstick is the shine it gives your lips, there are tiny specs of shimmer in the stick itself and they are making my lips look 100X better than they did before I applied the colour. My lips have also been pretty dry, and you can't tell at all with this lipstick (it's definitely going to stay in my purse for a while!)
If you're looking for a lipstick, that will look great, moisturize your lips and you've got a little money to spare this product is for you!

Life As We Know It (2010)

My friend and I watched the movie "Life as We Know It" this week. It stars Katherine Heigl and Josh Duhamel (and happy surprise to me - Josh Lucus) as two single adults who become caregivers to an orphaned girl after their mutual best friends die in an accident.
I was expecting this to be a typical rom-com, with a big cheese factor, and it was. However, the first 30 minutes of the movie were surprisingly sad and thoughtful, the build-up of the relationships between the friends is good, and you find yourself empathizing with the characters early on when they lose their best friends.
The movie is cute, and sweet - the perfect film to watch with the girlfriends or on a lazy night with your boyfriend (it's not too sappy for him).
The scenes are familiar and typical, but hey - it's a film that you get exactly what you expect.
I'd watch it again.

I've been using Dove VisibleCare Softening body wash for over a week now and I can really tell a difference in how my skin feels. I've been a fan of Dove soaps and body washes for a number of years so I was excited to try this product. The wash itself is so smooth and thick, so you can feel the difference in this product as soon as it comes out of the bottle.
I've been using the wash mostly on my upper body so I could see the difference and I'm really impressed with how soft my arms and chest are! My legs are dying to get some of that!
I would definitely recommend this product to anyone who's skin needs a pick me up from these chilly months, or who just want softer smoother skin (what women wouldn't?)

Mary Kay Cream Eye Color
I like using this eye colour because of how easily it blends and how light it goes onto your eyes. You just need to be careful with it, because if the colour is too dark for you (or is unflattering) its not easy to wipe off of lighten up. Overall... +
I like using this eye colour because of how easily it blends and how light it goes onto your eyes. You just need to be careful with it, because if the colour is too dark for you (or is unflattering) its not easy to wipe off of lighten up.
Overall I like this product - it's just not super user friendly

I've heard a lot of positive things about Spring Rolls, so last week my friend and I decided to give it a try. We went to the restaurant on Queen Street (across from Much). I agree with some of the other reviewers, the atmosphere was nice - it was calm, I the lighting was nice and I like the set up (although the tables could have been a little farther apart).
We ordered calamari to share and I had a pad thai entree - I was impressed with the calamari (perfectly crisp and well cooked), but I wasn't so impressed with the pad thai - I think I was expecting a more flavourful pad tai from a specifically Asian restaurant.
The price was good for the amount we ordered and I would definitely choose to go there again. I might choose if different location though, our service wasn't awesome.

I use mousse every single day, and this week I realized I was about to run out. I was at Shoppers yesterday and almost all of their beauty products were on sale so I was glad to pick up a bottle of Tresemme 24 Hour Body Mousse for less than $5. I like this product because it's light and doesn't weigh down my roots but it's also strong enough to do its job and give my roots the bounce and volume they need.
I would recommend this product for anyone looking for a mousse to just apply to their roots.

I'm a big Mary Kay fan, I've been hooked on their products since I was a teen (my mom was a consultant, so she ordered my make up for me). So I've been on the band wagon long enough to acquire quite a few mineral eye shadows. I really love using these shadows because they apply evenly and they don't smudge - I've also found that Mary Kay does a great job pairing colours in their dual colour shadow swatches! Some of my favourites are the purple and greens! -

I received this shampoo free for review, and I`ve been using it for almost a week now. It`s definitely a good quality shampoo and it gets the job done well! I like that it doesn`t have any fancy smell or added ingredients to it - only the essentials to protect my hair colour. I will continue to use this product because I believe that it`s extending the length of my colour - which is important because I don`t want to re-dye my hair too often.
I would recommend using the full line of Essensity products together to protect your colour and deliver the expected results.

I recieved this product free for review. I carry it in my purse now for my when lips are feeling dry or "naked" I really like the colour - it's light enough to feel like a simple gloss but it has just enough colour to feel like I've got a little somthin' special on my lips :)
I can't put my finger on exactly what it is, but there is something about the tube that I really like - the gloss comes out thin and the slant of the tub makes it easy to apply.
It's a great products to have on the go!

I recieved this product free for review, and it's done wonderful things for my lashes!
I've used this mascara for 5 dayes now and I've gotten compliments on my lash volume 4 out of 5 days.. I love how thick (but not clumpy) the mascara goes on and I love how simple the brush it (no bells and wistle or crazy gimmicks)
The price is right and the quality is top!
If you are looking for a trust worthy mascara that will do what it says - this is you product!
