I finally got my hands on this! I was ecstatic to find that my local Sephora had a couple (not on the shelf I had to ask one of the sales associates), so I snatched one up! $58 might seem like a hefty price tag for this, but when you think about it, it's 12 (almost) full sized eyeshadows, and in their new packaging a full sized eyeshadow brush that retails for $26 USD (amazing! Just like the MAC flat shader brush) replacing the old double ended eyeliner, is an AMAZING steal. I couldn't be happier with the colours; I'm a neutral, brown shadow kind of girl.
However, matte eyeshadow lovers beware, most of the shades in this palette are shimmer/sparkly.

Sephora Collection Color Play 5 in 1 Palette

This has almost every colour a girl could dream of! There are a variety of textures from shimmers to mattes to ones with chunks of glitter (two words: FALL OUT) but they're all highly pigmented and with the right primer will be bright and vibrant all day long. The blushes are gorgeous, extremely wearable and blend like a dream. The lip glosses are moisturizing but not too slick and have okay (3 hours without eating) wear.
For the price (I think it was $25 or so CAD regular) it's an AMAZING steal and is perfect for beginners dabbling in makeup to expand their collection, and for those who want a variety of beautiful colours.
5/5 stars!

Keeping with this summer's coral lip trend, I've found the perfect creamy pinky-peach coral colour. The creemsheen formula delivers excellent pigmentation and hydration to the lips. Of course, it has MAC's signature vanilla scent. Only downside to it is that since it's so creamy after a couple hours the product starts to seep into the lines on your lips so make sure you prime them with a lip liner. All in all, amazing colour and amazing product for an amazing price! -

I found the most beautiful pink colour (Shell) and it happened to be a drugstore product so I was ecstatic!
However, when I tried it at home, it felt terrible on my lips. Both the stain and gloss were smooth and had a wonderful scent, but once the stain dried, my lips felt dry and cakey like I couldn't move them. It has a good lasting power but throughout the day it will fade leaving your lips with a ridge of colour that looks like you put on lip-liner and forgot to fill it in. If you try to add more stain and gloss, it will just build up product leaving your lips with a terrible 'gunky' feeling. Don't even get me started on trying to take it off; one word: nightmare.

Chanel Soleil Tan De Chanel Bronze Universal
Can I say best bronzer ever? Definitely my new holy grail bronzer (sorry Nars Laguna). 56.50 CAD (with tax included) for 1 oz. of product may seem like a steep price to pay, but I've had this sucker for almost 4 months now with barely a dent in... +
Can I say best bronzer ever? Definitely my new holy grail bronzer (sorry Nars Laguna). 56.50 CAD (with tax included) for 1 oz. of product may seem like a steep price to pay, but I've had this sucker for almost 4 months now with barely a dent in the product. The consistency is hard to explain; it's smooth but needs quite of bit of blending if you use a heavy hand. It's cream to powder bronzing makeup base that can double as a bronzer (which is what I use it for), and has the most heavenly scent. It gives a natural tan/glow without being too orange (it looks frighteningly orange in the container, but I assure you it doesn't look that way on the skin). Perfect for any skin colour/skin tone. Light-medium girls can use it as a bronzer and darker skin girls can use it as a bronzing base, to enhance any bronzer they put overtop.
Overall verdict? 4.5/5

Benefit Cosmetics Benetint Pocket Pal
I love it! $20 for 0.21 oz (in total) of product may seem a bit steep, especially when you can buy a regular clear lipgloss for a fraction of the price, BUT it's the Benetint that had me sold. I love the little duo of stain and gloss; it gives a... +
I love it! $20 for 0.21 oz (in total) of product may seem a bit steep, especially when you can buy a regular clear lipgloss for a fraction of the price, BUT it's the Benetint that had me sold. I love the little duo of stain and gloss; it gives a perfect rose stain on your lips, not to mention a perky rose scent to match (and can also be put on cheeks for a 'I just came from the outdoors' flush!). Next time I may ditch the pocket pal and just purchase a full sized Benetint, but the pocket pal is perfect for inside a handbag/clutch/glove compartment for any quick and convenient perk-me-ups.
