Honestly, all the best ingredients in one place! I haven't use the serum for long enough to truly tell if it will decrease my acting long-term, but I am really enjoying how it feels so far. It does make my skin a bit sensitive but nothing over the top, I found out the Paula's Choice BHA liquid stopped working for me so I'm really thinking this could be a nice alternative. Love the packaging, very easy to use. -

I've loved pimple patches for as long as they've existed in Canada, and the fact that Peace Out keeps improving theirs makes them a total front runner in the industry. I can't get enough of these patches for when I feel a pimple coming on, especially since theirs have added acne fighting ingredients it makes them absolute must haves in my bathroom. I always notice an immediate decrease in severity of my spot, especially if it has a white head. I also make sure to take them on vacation! -

I love layering my nail polish and Essie's Birthday Girl doesn't disappoint. The glitter texture is so fine and iridescent, it provides a classy look that is suitable for all ages. I recommend pairing it over a shade like Ballet Slippers or OPI bubble bath like in my pic! It also lasts very long with an appropriate top coat and base coat. #GotItFree -

Although I do prefer a powder with a little bit of extra coverage byway of a tint, my skin looked good after using this formula and it did not overly dry out my skin - but also lasted throughout the day. Does give a bit of a powdery appearance and there was a lot of kickback on first use. I personally prefer a glowy formula. Love the pink packaging! I find translucent powders to be a little bit "powdery" and can give a white cast. Great to see options without talc, will spread the word. -
COVERGIRL LashBlast Clean Volume Mascara
I loved using the lash blast formula in high school and this brush is very reminiscent of that. Nice to know that there aren't many additives but I am not partial to the greenwashing movement. I like the packaging and the product stays well... +
I loved using the lash blast formula in high school and this brush is very reminiscent of that. Nice to know that there aren't many additives but I am not partial to the greenwashing movement. I like the packaging and the product stays well throughout the day if I applied over my favourite primers. -
COVERGIRL Clean Fresh Nourishing Skin Milk Foundation
A nice alternative to high-end BB creams or tinted moisturizer. Good shade range and I appreciate that the lightest shade is very light. It gives a little bit of coverage but it does cling to dry spots. Lasts OK throughout the day.

COVERGIRL Clean Fresh Hydrating Concealer
Decent product with good shade range. Dries down to a budge-proof finish just not the easiest to work with. I have trouble with the claims "toxic ingredients" - does this mean other covergirl products are toxic? Not a very sophisticated formula... +
Decent product with good shade range. Dries down to a budge-proof finish just not the easiest to work with. I have trouble with the claims "toxic ingredients" - does this mean other covergirl products are toxic? Not a very sophisticated formula since there is a pink separation going on right now which looks like the product has gone bad, but clearly the formula is not stable and just separates upon opening. Some work to be done on refining but overall works. -

I'm a huge fan of the Uncle Ben's rice packets so I was expecting this product to be very similar. My first time trying it I really wasn't a fan. It felt really sticky and overly seasoned for one portion, not fulfilling and just confusing to use.
I got a second sample and decided to pan fry some veggies first and then mix in the rice as almost seasoning blend. This worked a lot better and I actually really enjoyed it with salmon and focaccia. I feel like the product could used less seasoning if it is marketed as a stand-alone dish, or they should revise their instructions to tell you to mix it with other ingredients to thin out the flavour a bit. What started as a product that turned me off has turned into something that I would actually love to try the different flavours of cause mixing it in with other veggies (almost like a paella) has become a hit for my dinner! One package feeds two larger portions or 3 to 4 small portions. #FreeSample

A good option at the drugstore for a standard mascara that offers length and lash-nourishing benefits. I find the brush to be a bit too spiky for my comfort level, but the formula is good and doesn’t flake or budge much. I always wear a primer underneath though! Not your best option for volume and curl. This offers a drier effect with length and definition. Great for lower lashes and shorter lashes! -
