I can't get enough of this eyebrow gel. A tiny drop of this product and an eyebrow brush results in amazing looking brows. They look filled in and polished, without looking like I went overboard. I hate using this phrase, but my eyebrows truly look "on fleek" when I use it. It's super long lasting. It doesn't transfer, smudge or fade. My brows look exactly the same at night as they do in the morning. I do set my brows with clear brow gel after, but that is mainly to keep the hairs in place. -
Batiste Dry Shampoo Original Clean & Classic

Hands down my favourite dry shampoo. I love the neutral scent (I work in a scent-free environment) and it absorbs all my oil without leaving a white cast. My favourite way to apply it is to use a very generous amount before bed, it absorbs while I sleep and I wake up with refreshed and clean looking hair! -
NYX Professional Makeup Soft Matte Lip Cream
I adore liquid lipsticks. I love a matte lip that wears for a long time. These do deliver a long-wear time and are comfortable, yet matte. However, they don't wear as well as other liquid lipsticks that I've purchased. For the price point though, I... +
I adore liquid lipsticks. I love a matte lip that wears for a long time. These do deliver a long-wear time and are comfortable, yet matte. However, they don't wear as well as other liquid lipsticks that I've purchased. For the price point though, I would repurchase. If you are looking for something a little more long-wearing that won't fade, then I would suggest either checking out Colourpop or Kat Von D. -

Let me start this off by saying I was a huge fan of the Urban Decay Revolution Lipsticks. I was quite disappointed when they discontinued the line but optimistic that the Vice Lipsticks would live up to their predecessor. Let me just say, they do. The huge colour and formula selection is amazing. These lipsticks apply beautifully. They are pigmented and long-wearing (for a lipstick). I got the shades 1993 (comfort matte) and Trance (metallized) and I love them both. If you love the Revolution Lipsticks, you will not be disappointed. -
Vichy Idéal Soleil Sheer Lotion Bare Skin Feel SPF 60
I liked this product but there was a learning curve to applying it. If you apply too much it will ball up and sit on the skin. However, if you use the right amount (a little then add more as necessary) it soaks right in and you don't end up having... +
I liked this product but there was a learning curve to applying it. If you apply too much it will ball up and sit on the skin. However, if you use the right amount (a little then add more as necessary) it soaks right in and you don't end up having that sticky "I'm wearing sunscreen" feeling. -
Vichy Idéal Soleil Ultra-fluid Sun Protection SPF 50
I really enjoyed this lotion! It sinks right into your skin and doesn't leave any residue. I have oily skin and this did not affect my makeup in any way. My makeup applied the same as usual. Really loved how high the SPF in this product was too!

This product was good but it didn't wow me. It is meant to use after being out in the sun to moisturize the skin. You can use it either in the shower or on dry skin. My preferred way of using it is before bed. I apply it to dry skin and then go to bed as I find it left the skin a bit slippery. My skin did feel great the next morning though. -
Olay Complete All Day Moisture Lotion SPF 15
So, I really enjoy this moisturizer. I use the one for combo/oily skin and I enjoy that it doesn't contribute to my skins natural oiliness, however, the smell is quite strong. It doesn't linger but it isn't very pleasant. It kind of reminds me of... +
So, I really enjoy this moisturizer. I use the one for combo/oily skin and I enjoy that it doesn't contribute to my skins natural oiliness, however, the smell is quite strong. It doesn't linger but it isn't very pleasant. It kind of reminds me of some kind of old school powder. The scent really needs an update. Other than that, I have no complaints about it and I continue to repurchase it. -
KVD Vegan Beauty Studded Kiss Lipstick

This lipstick is a gorgeous colour but I find it is so matte that it is dry to apply and almost painful as it drags across the lips. I am normally a matte lipstick girl and my lips can handle all sorts of drying mattes but this one, even with a lip balm can be a challenge to apply. I've heard good things about the other shades in this range (this one as it turns out had less than stellar reviews) so it wouldn't deter me from trying others in this line. -

The Becca Shimmering Pressed Powders are definitely worth the hype. Moonstone is a beautiful white gold shade that will look fantastic on fair skin. It is so smooth and silky that it practically blends itself into my skin. It's super pigmented so a little goes a long way. They are on the pricy side, but I feel like a pan of this will last be forever. It definitely gives you a beautiful highlight on your face that looks absolutely stunning. -
