Sable Collar is a part of her Winter 2013 nail polish collection and the collection is filled with rich, dark tones with a few pastels to bring more light into the collection. Essie Sable Collar ($10 CAD for 13.5ml/0.46 fl oz) is a describe as a luxurious pearlscent cocoa plum. It is cool toned reddish brown with warm purple micro shimmer running through it. Overall, I really enjoy this colour and formula by Essie and I will be purchasing more of it in the future. -

I really enjoy wearing these suede lipstick. It is perfect for anyone who does not want to commit to wearing liquid lipstick. Wearing this reminds me a lot of the NYX Soft Matte Lip Cream, but more moisturizing and hydrating on the lips. I would highly recommend you exfoliating your lips before applying these because when they dry they will emphasize the imperfects of your lips. I enjoying the colours that I have chosen, both bold colours but perfect for summer. There is a little fragrance to this, but it disappears when it dries on your lips. Also, you can feel that there is lipstick on your lips, but it nothing to crazy. I also find that though it dries completely matte, there is some tackiness to the products when you press your lips together. Other than that, again I really enjoy this product, there are some mixed reviews, but I haven't tried all the colour and I started off with the brightest ones. I would recommend for anyone who wants to wear liquid lipstick, but does not want to commit to the dryness.

My skin has improved and looked so much better since using the Clarisonic. I have oily skin, which means that your entire face get oily, especially the t-zone. Since, using my Clarisonic I have combo to oily skin, which means only my t-zone get oily, but even my t-zone, it is just my nose and a bit of my cheeks gets oily. When I first started using this, I knew that my skin was going to go through a purging stage, where all the dirt, oil, and impurities come out and I was alright with that because I know that how the process worked. My skin purged for a month during summer and I had to work and I was going out. However, because I was going to going to work and hang out with my family and friends. I bought the Clean and Clean Acne treatment and place some on all my acne/blemishes to speed up the process. I recommend doing this, so it speed up the purging process so isn't so annoying. But after the purging stage, my acne/blemishes has gone my skin was clearing up. I use it twice a day, morning and night, and because I wear makeup most of the time this cleanse my skin properly which is very important. Many of family and friends have notice my good skin and hate me for it. -

I LOVE this cleanser. I have been using the cleanser for about a week with my Clarisonic Mia. For myself, I have combination skin, however my t-zone is extremly oily and I tend to get acne and blemishes. So, I need a cleanser that would clean my face pretty well, but not be so drying on my face. This cleanser was able to deliver on the expectations I had for it. The first thing, I realized in Sephora sample was the cleanser is very creamy and it has little blue beads in it, which is good because it does make micro-tears on the surface of your skin. I used the sample both morning and night. It suggested to use a dime size, however I prefer a nickel size, because I don't feel my face get clean with a dime size. They also suggest they this cleanser is good at removing makeup, so I tested that out. I have to say that is not so good. It felt like I still had makeup on face and it was not properly cleaned. I think for me, it was because I use a dime size of the cleanser, so did not feel clean to me .This is the perfect morning cleanser for myself. I also love that the cleanser helps regulate the secretion of sebum in your skin, which helps if you skin break out. This cleanser makes your skin feel 'squeaky clean', but not to a point where your skin is strip of it natural oils. The only thing I don't like is the smell of cleanser, it has a weird smell. It reminds of a men's aftershave or something. This cleanser cost $34, which is a bit pricey, but I personally would rather spend more on good skin care products. -

I'm not a fan of this moisturizer. When I got the sample of this moisturizer, I was willing to pay the steep price tag for it, if it was good for my skin. Well, I was wrong. One thing to know about my skin, it that though I have combo/oily skin, my skin sometimes gets irritated. This moisturizer broke me out. I did not change anything in my routine beside my moisturizer. I broke out on my lower half of face, it looked like mini pimples that I have popped and lefts marks. Overall, I would leave this product. I do not think this product is made for me and I would leave it, but I am searching for the right moisturizer for my skin. Again, this may not happen to you, but this moisturizer and my natural body chemistry do not fit well together. -

I love this palette and I recommended that everyone go and try it out. It is the perfect neutral palette for a beginner, busy mom, college/university student and etc. I think that it is worth $34 and I will definitely buy it again. Though, I do not use this everyday, it is the perfect palette to create your natural everyday look. -

I absolutely love this foundation. The coverage on this foundation is ridiculous full coverage. I often do not do go for full coverage, I always stick to medium coverage. This foundation is similar to the CoverFX Custom Drops. I agree that a little goes a long way. You do not need a lot of this foundation to get a full cover. I found when I did apply a lot, it look a bit heavy. Now, the true test is my oily t-zone. This foundation lasted well in my t-zone. Obviously, I was wearing a primer with this foundation, but my oils did not come through fully until the 7th or 8th hour and I have long days of school. It controlled my oily nose pretty well, my forehead did not get super oily, but some oily did come through. The rest of my face that was not oily look perfect. It matches me perfectly. A lot of chocolate sister, says that the foundation has a grey cast to it. I didn't find that for me, but again it was react different to different skin types.

I am always intrigued by products like this that help whiten your teeth. But, It seems, like everytime I try it, it does not work out the best for me. I use this toothpaste for five day and did not see a difference in my teeth. I would recommend this paste to someone who has already whiten their teeth professional to help maintain the whiteness. But for someone, like me who has never whiten their before,l it does not seem to work very well. I received this product through the Product Review Club. -

These Nair Wax Ready Strips are perfect for those who want a nice clean hairless legs and body without the hassle of shaving.

It remove my hair perfectly. I appreciate the fact, that you can use the wax strip more than once to get the whole worth of the wax. Also,there are four wipes that are perfect for removing the residue, leaving your skin with shiny and soft legs -

I really enjoyed this foundation sample. The coverage of this foundation was amazing for me. I usually get medium to full coverage foundation that covers all my imperfections and dark spots. When I first applied this foundation I was amazed at the coverage, but also when I applied it, it looked so natural on my face. My nose started getting oil after the 6 or 7th hour, which is good for me because my nose usually get oily around the 4th or 5th hour. My forehead did not get oily at all, I was actually really happy with that. The colour I got was Rich Honey, which is for deeper skin with peach undertone.I would buy this foundation. I really enjoyed wearing this foundation and I got a lot of compliments when I was wearing it. I love that is was full coverage, but it look so natural. I would definitely recommend for combination, oily, normal and even dry skin. The colour was a good match for my skin tone. I will purchase this foundation in the near future for sure.
