Maybelline New York The Falsies Volum' Express Mascara
I have long, thin lashes that are hard to curl. I found this mascara fairly better compared to my usual go-to, the pink and green original Maybelline mascara. I like how the comb is curved. If I try hard enough it really does look like "falsies" !

I bought the dark red polish off of well.ca. I like the colour, but the way the polish goes on (not sure if its the brush or the polish itself) is kind of weird. It doesn't go on as smoothly as my OPI bottles, or even my Revlon one. But it's really good considering the price, dries fast (which I like), and has a great colour. So far it's my second day wearing this and it looks great - no big chips yet. -
Butter London Nail Polish

Hey theskinnies, beautymark.ca isn't the only place to find Butter London in Canada - I found it also on eBeauty.ca. It's Canadian too and offers free shipping over $75. And they have a TON of Butter London shades on their site.
I tried "Toff", which is a brownish rose pink, and "Teddy Girl". I really love the shades and they glide on really smooth. Luckily not a lot of Canadians know about this Brit brand so I get all the goodies to myself, hehe :P These polishes are expensive though, so I guess buying them is only worth it if you know you'll like the colour and if you wear nail polish often.

Though a bit more expensive than regular drugstore shampoos, it's well worth it. I bought it at Shopper Drugs Mart and it smells great. The shampoo has an excellent lather (not too much, not too little!!!) and the conditioner has this shimmering ingredient in it. I really love it!!!!! -

I bought this nail polish at Trade Secrets. The colour looks different depending on your environment and your skin tone. Sometimes it looks mint green/ seafoam green, sometimes it looks more very light neon green. It has this sort of weird chameleon colour that slightly resembles the varying shades of a green grape. The coverage is only so-so, if I put one coat on it looks a bit streaky. I think it's a cool colour though...but try it out because it might not look good on your skin tone. -

I got the Cable Beach blush bronzer off the eBeauty site for 32 buckeroos. I love the different coloured stripes and they work well on your cheeks whether blended or if only one colour is applied. It kind of works well as not only a blush but a bronzer too, because of the dark stripes in the tin. -
MAC Cosmetics 116 Blush Brush
This brush can not only be used for blush, but also bronzer. I paid $42 CDN for this brush, and got the compact size that comes in a carrying case. It's not worth how much I paid for it, really. I could have found one for $20-30 that could... +
This brush can not only be used for blush, but also bronzer. I paid $42 CDN for this brush, and got the compact size that comes in a carrying case.
It's not worth how much I paid for it, really. I could have found one for $20-30 that could have done the job just fine. I sort of regret my purchase. That being said, it does work better than really cheap brushes. It blends quite well. If I brush too hard, bristles can come out but I feel like every brush is vulnerable to this depending on how you apply it to your skin.

The Body Shop Sweet Lemon Body Scrub

I bought this for only $10 because The Body Shop was having a Buy 3 for $30 sale. They have tons of sales throughout the year so keep your eyes peeled so you don't have to pay full retail price.
Anyway, this lemon scrub smells so refreshing and awesome in the shower. After shaving or cleaning with soap, I exfoliate my legs and body with this scrub. You can literally see the water droplets on your legs because this scrub protects your skin from being dried out by the water. For anyone with dry skin, this is a must must MUST have! My skin feels amazing, and it looks more evenly toned when I step out of the shower too.

This body balm is essentially like one of the Body Shop's body butters. It smells super amazing - a very light but beautiful fragrance. To me, it smells like a mixture of these things: a Polynesian beach, exotic Tahitian flowers, and coconut. It moisturizes my usually dry legs, and goes on great. I just love how moisturizing and great-smelling this balm is. A little more expensive than the regular body butters I think, but worth it. -

I like this moisturizer because it feels very light. It's not greasy and it feels very moisturizing. I have really dry skin though, so sometimes after a shower it would quickly penetrate my skin and it would feel a tiny bit dry after about twenty minutes. Otherwise, I would definitely recommend this for anyone with a normal skin type. -
