I received this product in order to review it.
I like this product. I use home waxing products regularly and have used other Nair items in the past. I like that this one is particularly easy to use and still gets the job done. These items are handy for travelling, and I also like using them because I don't need to make the extra trip to the salon and they are much more budget friendly!
Note for beginners: it may take some time perfecting the use of this product (ie. not missing any sections on your legs) but once you ensure you don't miss any sections, you can have salon results minus the travel time and cost. It also may leave your skin a bit red after hair removal, but (for me at least) subsides quickly

I received this product in order to review it.
I really like this product. I don't like washing my hair every single day since it is not good for it, so this is an excellent item to have around. When I wore it in a pony tail it was definitely visibly "cleaner" looking.
If you want to have your hair down while using this product I would definitely recommend curling or styling your hair in some way because the product does not replace entirely washing your hair (ie. your hair will not look as light or have as much volume). If you are looking to take away the shine that can come with unwashed hair it can definitely work!
I've used this product after 2 1/2 days of not shampooing my hair and it made it look good. I would buy this again in the future
Notes: my hair is mid-long hair, naturally straight and most often worn down un-styled or in a pony-tail.

I found that I didn't actually like using this brush to apply the foundation, which seems logical considering it is called a blending brush- thus is it definitely better for blending! If you like contouring it will definitely get the job done. As for application and spreading, I preferred to use my fingers with the dream foundation.
The quality of the brush was excellent and it definitely blends foundations well on your face for a natural appearance.

I received this in order to review it and I am so happy I got to try this product!
The foundation has excellent coverage, and was easy to apply. It lasts well and looks natural on my skin (I have the ivory colour). It looks great on it's own, or if you are a fan of contouring this foundation would be excellent to use if you have a few shades of it. I think it maintains a fairly natural appearance while still covering any marks (I have a couple acne scars), so your skin looks like it is naturally flawless. It also only required a small amount to cover my whole face, and didn't need powder to set it. My skin is not very oily, but I would recommend if you have oily skin to use it sparingly as I think if my skin was oily it may require some powder to set.
I definitely recommend giving this a shot!

I really like this powder, it stays on, and I don't have to apply a ton to get the results I'm looking for! I was actually excited to see all the shimmer (I was hoping it could be my "going out" bronzer- with a little sparkle), however, I've found it to be far less sparkley than I thought it would be, it looks like all the sparkle is on that first layer. I do find it a tad steep in price, but things go on sale so otherwise it is fairly standard. That being said, I use it as a daytime bronzer now, so still a great product to buy! -

This review is specifically in regards to their "maximum strength moisturizing" remover- (bluish -green bottle) however they do have different kinds.
I find this nail polish remover great! I don't need to use a ton of it and dose my fingers in all the chemicals like I need to with some other polishes. I also find this gentler on your nails over all, in the past I've noticed my nails would peel because the chemicals were too harsh- this doesn't do that! This contains aloe and vitamin E, which it says helps with dry or brittle nails, while I can't attest to whether those ingredients make the difference in how my nails react, I can say this is more gentle on my nails, and does not erode or break them after use

This lotion is great for people who have dry skin! I especially think it is good after doing a exfoliation treatment on your face. It's very moisturizing, and definitely rehydrates your face immediately. If you are prone to acne I wouldn't use this cream daily, however to rejuvenate and moisturize your face once and a while will still be great for you! If you have sensitive skin I'd also recommend this product, it doesn't feel harsh or thick on your face, and shouldn't irritate you. I find a little goes a long way with this product, so even though you may get more of another product for the same price, you will find this one lasts longer, it's not necessary to use large amounts every time you apply! -

it is extremely easy to apply this eyeliner, so for those of you that have a hard time using liquid eyeliner, it's easy to apply to get the thick or thin line you may want. However, I am not a fan of it because I find it doesn't last long enough. A thin amount of liquid eyeliner is part of my daily makeup, and when it is already rubbing off within a couple of hours, it just doesn't look the same.
If you need a quick fix, or an easy throw on to pick up your look before you run a few errands, or someone has unexpectedly dropped by, then this would be an excellent easy use product! however I would not recommend it for long time use

King Exchange is a used clothing store, with multiple locations in Toronto (the one I have gone into is on Queen West).
They have a variety of shoes, tops, dresses, pants, skirts etc. all with VERY reasonable prices. They have many vintage pieces, as well as everyday used clothing. They look at everything before they accept it into the store, so everything I looked at seemed in good condition. They aim to get in seasonal & trendy clothing as well to satisfy their customers. Popular season items (eg. denim cut off shorts for summer) go quickly! they are constantly getting new merchandise so it is always fun to look around in.
I'm not the greatest with envisioning vintage pieces in my wardrobe, so I didn't have much luck finding anything for myself, but I have friends who have found plenty.
What I especially love about this store is that you can bring in a bag of clothes, and they will take a look at what they want and give you cash (or store credit) for it (note they don't accept business attire or formal dresses).
This place is definitely worth a look when you're in the area, and for people who love finding fun, or unique pieces (or trendy pieces for a great deal) take a look!!

This is definitely a high end product! You can find the same colours at other stores, but what I love about any of the Naked palettes is that they LAST! (and that's without using a base primer)
They go on very smoothly, and the colour pops on your skin as it does in the palette.
Because it's expensive, I tend use these palettes mainly for when I go somewhere where there will be lots of pictures, or to events where I want my eye makeup to stay perfectly intact all night (as opposed to daily makeup).
You won't be disappointed with this eyeshadow, worth the splurge if you like these colours. When considering the cost, note that you do get many shades in the palette, which works out to around 5$ a shade, fairly average, so if you love all the colours it will definitely be worth your money!
