I had purchased this lipstick at their warehouse sale but I would definitely purchase this lipstick at its regular price!
It is very creamy, and moisturizing, and lasts very long. Its packaging is very chic and luxurious-looking but I think the barocco design is from last year's collection, so not too sure if it's still being sold.
Its scent smells very fruity but not too overwhelming.
It is a high end brand that I would definitely consider buying again.

If you know you'll be in the Montreal area in advance and want some gorgeous and not to mention delicious cupcakes personally made (a dozen is the minimum) then clevercupcakes is the one to order!
It's tough to find a baker who actually makes beautiful but above all great-tasting cupcakes. The cake itself is fresh and fluffy, and the icing is not too sweet but very flavourful. There are so many different flavours to choose from.
The baker custom bakes for large parties, corporate events and regular people who want delicious as well as personalized cupcakes. She's like the cake boss, but just makes the smaller version. You would need to order online a week in advance for personalized creations.
The price is pretty decent for regular cupcakes and she delivers it right to your door!

This cream is supposed to reduce puffiness, dark circles as well as provide long lasting hydration--exactly what I've been looking for.
I've been using it for 3 weeks now and I have to say that I haven't really noticed any significant difference in the dark circle category. Its texture isn't thick and it takes longer to absorb, so I didn't find it very moisturizing.
However, since it does contain cucumber extract, I did notice that my puffiness was gone.
So overall, I would pass on this cream if you're looking for more than a de-puffer!

Made reservations here for my boyfriend's surprise birthday party over the weekend and everyone really enjoyed it! They have a large buffet for brunch and even the pickiest eater was satisfied. The atmosphere was cool with a nice jazz band on the upstairs balcony near our private room.
The service did not disappoint as well. Everyone from our waiter to the hostesses accommodated us and catered to all our needs.
Even though 32 bucks(including tax and tip) is a bit steep for brunch, the overall atmosphere, decor, food and service all made up for it.
Would definitely go back and try a romantic dinner!

I love pastel colors and lavender is my favorite. I normally get Revlon's nail polish to begin, so when I saw this color at my local grocery store, I had to purchase it.
The color looks so pretty. It is a matte color, so it's very tame and neutral-looking. It can be a little streaky when applied, but 2 to 3 coats was fine. These polishes come scented, but you can only smell it if you place your nails right up to your nose--and who really does that?? But I did enjoy the candy-like scent. It's very subtle, and light. It's been a week wearing this shade and so far it hasn't really chipped. Pretty good polish and very pretty color.
This shade is great for summer!

I found this cream to be... average.
It did moisturize well, and is in a nice looking jar. The SPF is something I like in the cream, although isn't really necessary for me considering I work inside a lab all day. So I'd have to bring it with me to work and re-apply it for lunch which isn't all that necessary.
The wrinkle-fighting factor is another added bonus in this cream, but I'd need to try it for more than a month or so to notice any difference. It's pretty pricey, so I'm not sure if I would actually purchase this cream versus another lower-priced wrinkle cream.
Overall, I would say it's alright, but not a cream I'd rush out to get. Although I am glad I got to try it!

I've been using this product for over a week now after I just got my hair cut short--so no more split ends for the summer months! I have wavy hair to begin with which is why I always use a flat iron.
For the product itself, I can't really say if I've noticed any dramatic changes to my hair. It does smell nice, and perhaps is a bit softer, but also I do like knowing that I am now preventing so much damage to my hair, had I not been using any heat protectant at all.
Overall, I am not in love with this product, but I do enjoy using it hoping that it does prevent my hair from all the excessive heat that I put it through!

I love these jeggings! I just ordered these online and I'm so glad I did! They are super soft, super comfy and fit really well. Hugs the legs like leggings, but look truly like skinny jeans. They have back pockets, so you can always switch up your look by not only wearing tunics and long sweaters.
Since I'm only 5'1, I like to buy clothing in abercrombie kids because it's way cheaper, but is exactly the same style as its adult version. The length of these leggings are longer than my legs, but I just need to hem them.
These are definitely a must have in any chicks' wardrobe!

Apparently this cream is supposed to be the best from all the luxury creams out there. Many women have said that it DOES work miracles on their face; however in my case, I found it pretty disappointing.
To my surprise, I received a small sample pot of this cream at Holt's counter. I have dry skin and after using this product twice, morning and night for 2 weeks, my face still felt dry during mid-day.
At first I used a small amount-just so that it would last me longer, rubbing cream between your palms to emulsify the product and patted/rubbed into face--as demonstrated to me by the saleswoman. My face still felt dry and tight afterwards. After a disappointing first week, I scooped out a good chunk during the 2nd wk. just so I can experience the full effect--had I actually purchased the mega expensive, full-sized cream.
End result was that the cream did not meet my expectations. I was hoping this cream would be the miracle cream, but sadly, it isn't. For me that is.--Actually, it's a good thing that it isn't, considering that I wasn't even prepared to blow so much cash on this cream to begin with.

This product didn't seem to work for me at all.
It claims to depuff and brighten the eyes, however I didn't notice any significant difference. It definitely is cooling as you apply it and I like that it comes as a pump dispenser, however it doesn't seem to moisturize and hydrate the skin like creams do.
Overall, this product was a disappointment and I think I'll stick to creams instead.
