I picked up the Milani powder blushes in the colours blossom time rose and coral cove a couple weeks ago and have been using them none stop since then! I originally heard about them from social media and decided that I needed to try them. So, when I stopped at my local Rexall and saw they were in stock I snatched them up.
First I have to comment on how beautiful the packaging is! Milani really out did themselves with these products because they have such a perfect Insta-worthy look to them! I almost didn't want to use them and ruin the gorgeous rose pattern on the product.
Now, the most important aspect of these products is obviously how well they perform. They are very pigmented, but they also blend beautifully! You can add more product if you want a more dramatic look, but you can blend away for a natural one as well. The formula is amazing because they aren't very chalky, like how other drugstore blushes can be.
Overall, I absolutely love these products and want to pick it up more colours. My only issue is that they can be hard to find sometimes, but I bet that's because they are so popular and they're always sold out. Definitely, a must try for any makeup lover!

I have been using the Clinique All about lips lip serum for a few months now after a girl friend recommended it to me to help to deal with my desert lips. I always have super dry lips, especially during the harsh Canadian winter. My lips can even get flaky which is not a cute look under lipstick but no more after I started using this product! It leaves your pout looking plump.
I generally use it both, under my lip colour or before I nod off to sleep. When I apply it under my lip colour I notice that it helps them last longer throughout the day. I especially love the feeling of it underneath especially drying liquid to matte lipsticks such as the Too faced melts and the Kylie lip kits. It really saves my lips without feeling like too much product. I also feel that it helps my lip linear blend more easily.
I don't have much experience with this part, but I have also been told that it helps with de-wrinkling lips as well. So far it's done everything it claims for me, so I am inclined to believe this. It's definitely a skincare product you need to add to your daily routine!

I absolutely love the Lancome cils booster XL super-enhancing mascara base. I have been using this for a year now and can honestly say it is my all time favourite mascara primer that I have ever tried. I find that other brands tend to leave you lashes with a white cast; even after you've applied mascara. This one does not! It is a white product, however, it doesn't turn you lashes paper white. After applying mascara on top of this base they are even more lengthed and volumized without showing any evidence of using a primer under it. It also conditions your lashes, helping them grow and lowering the amount of breakage.
After a few months, you really do notice your lash growth. This is a very important feature for me since I like to apply false lashes for Instagram photos quite frequently. The conditioning that Cils booster XL does for my lashes prevents breakage when removing them. They also help my natural lashes blend better with the falses. For everyday, however, I feel that the Cils with my everyday mascara is more than enough!
Now, when I worked in cosmetics and had recommended a client use a mascara primer, many concerns were the time it would add to their beauty routine. I can say that it truly doesn't add much time in the morning to apply it. Takes me minute tops to apply it and then mascara on top! This is one of those products that I can honestly say that every makeup lover needs in the collection. If you're looking for more volume, length, and even conditioning hurry up and get yourself to Lancome right now and pick up a Cils Booster XL!

My boyfriend and I have been using this mouthwash for a few months now and I can say that we both are very satisfied with it! It doesn't burn as much as other brands can and really does leave your mouth feeling cleaner than just brushing and flossing. It keeps bad breath at bay through the day and protects your teeth against plaque. I can also see the difference in my gums when I floss; I have less sensitivity since using it. I highly recommend this mouthwash, but remember to read the directions for best results. -

Alesse is the birth control brand I have been using for more than a year and the only one I trust! It does what it claims, which is prevent unplanned pregnancy, but along with that it also makes my period more bearable to deal with. Before I started taking Alesse I use to have the worst cramping that I would have to stay home from work or class for. They are nowhere near to how bad they use to be for sure!
Since it is the two hormone pill, if I'm not mistaken, it is about 99% effective. Also, because of the two hormones, progestin and estrogen, you don't have to take it at exactly the same time (only approximate times) every day like you do for the mini pill, making it more convenient for my busy lifestyle. I have not suffered any odd side effects from it either making it before for me.
If you too are looking for a contraceptive I definitely recommend asking your doctor about this one. I am highly satisfied with the results and am happy I am on them.

I absolutely love this app ever since I was recommended it by my mother! You can keep track of all your meals, read blog posts and recipes, and connect with other MFP users from all walks of life. I especially love the aspect where you can do challenges and get badges when you complete them. It's great for keeping you on track of a healthy lifestyle and motivation.
I want to talk about the community aspect especially. You can make forum threads about different diet or fitness questions which I find extremely helpful since it can be a confusing topic. You can also add friends who help keep you on track by holding you accountable to your goal. They also motivate you on those particularly tough days. I highly recommend this app if you are trying to get into a healthy lifestyle but have no idea to start. Trust me, you won't regret it!

Every no and again I get some upper back pain and I can honestly say that this product really helps to relieve it. When you apply Rub A535 it begins to warm the area making the muscles relaxing relieving the uncomfortable sensation. It's also nice that the product feels like you are getting a mini massage when you apply it. The smell isn't overly strong like some of the other rubs that are out there. It's the only one I trust now for my minor muscle pain relief. I highly recommend it to anyone who needs muscle pain relief! -

The NYX Cosmetic Matte Setting Spray is my go to setting spray for both every day and night time looks. It holds your makeup all day while keeping your face semi-matte. I can get pretty oily and shiny throughout the day so every step I can take to try and prevent this helps. Great if you have oily or combination skin but won't dryout you skin either.
It melts the different powders you use on your face as well to make your makeup look more put together. And the price is phenomenal! I believe I pay about $10 for it, which is a fraction of what other brands cost. I have tried many different brands of setting spray, including highend products and this is by far my favourite. I have repurchased this several times and will continue to in the future. I highly recommend it since it is lower cost but still high quality.

This is quite a pricey item, but if you love luxury skin care and don't mind spending a few extra bucks you are sure to like this Mask! First of all, it smells amazing! That can be a very important aspect to add to relaxation while doing a face mask. The second is that it really does add moisture to your skin, especially during those Cold and dry Canadian winters when your skin really suffers. Your skin will feel so soft and rejuvenated! I especially love to apply this mask will I'm using a Biore nose strip. Great way to kill two birds with one stone. It is definitely a great buy for the skincare addicts out there! -
