MAC Cosmetics Fluidline
I think is one of the best gel liners for the price. There is a bit of a learning curve with it but once you get the hang of it you will be able to fly away with your perfectly winged liner.

Cover FX Anti Aging Primer
I'm not sure how effective the anti-aging elements of this are but, I love this product and use this or one of the other cover fx primers constantly for my makeup routine. Glides on giving me a great smooth finish and helps my makeup last all day.

Disclaimer: I wear sandals everyday from April to October, I run atleast 15miles a week and have dry skin. Needless to say the Amopé should be the answer to my nightmare calloused, peeling, and rough feet right? It is! I would take about an hour usually to pumice my feet and would avoid it at all costs, it was boring and tiring but people would see my bare feet and I could see their disgust (most were polite enough to not say anything) I always have polish on my toes and the beautiful T shaped sandal tan so it's easy to ignore the ugly underside. With the Amopé I don't have to! I feet confident walking around barefoot in other peoples houses and it take me 10 minutes to go from rough feet to smooth walker. I was impressed with the power and the fact that it was easy to hold and handle. The instructions were straight forward and the price point is well worth it for having batteries included and a rotating file that looks like it will last me a while (bonus points for selling refills too instead of having to buy a whole new machine!) the file just popped out and was easy to clean. I'm already bragging and showing off my feet to my friends (and social media, oh goodness!)
Now if only I could teach the cat how to operate it..

Serum! Who doesn't love how that sounds. Getting this as a bonus to review was a great surprise and I feel so spoiled. Vichy is awesome. They make great hypo allergetic products and tis serum could be for all skin types.
I wore the serum day and night! I wanted to see the full effects in half the time, that's how it works right? Pretty much. I love the way it went on effortlessly and a wee pump is all you need. Mixed with the Skin Sleep product or your daily SPF Moisturizer my skin looks and feels so much healthier. I've been getting compliments almost everyday on my skin. Definitely recommend.

Vichy, an amazing skincare brand that is known for expert products. The packing even had me excited to try it with the pink and silver metallic colouring. A mirror lid! That means I stored it in my nightstand to apply each night before settling into bed.
With this product a little goes a long way, because it's a gel balm a thin layer is all you need and absorbs quickly. The jar is about a months supply I'd guess if you're using it every night (which I did!)
By the third morning I noticed my skin looking more even and even a little glowy. I looked well rested and by the 14th night I don't know why I hadn't found this sooner!

I think as women (men too) we all look for way to effectively and as pain free as possible, eliminate unwanted hair from our body. Or atleast during the summer months that's what we do in order to wear flirt skirts, bathing suits and other skin baring outfits. For me, that means I spend most of the 'winter' months in pants, leggings, tights and etc. Since the warmer weather is making its round here, in Victoria BC this week I couldn't have gotten the new Nair Cire Divine Leg and Body Wax kit with Moroccan Argan Oil any sooner!
I've waxed, used depilatory creams, and shaved. I prefer waxing to all of them.
This kit is huge, I managed to wax my legs from the knee down, and both underarms and still have 1/3 of the wax leftover. I've waxed at salons, but its pricey and someone else gets to do the gratifying tug at all the hairs. Not to mention depending where you wax it could get a little personal! I've tried the pre waxed waxing/gel strips, those were a bust leaving me in a sticky and still hairy mess. Shaving works but you have to do it so frequently, I've cut myself often with the razors and you go through so many a month! I've looked at laser hair removal but I can't bring myself to drop that much cash on something that needs multiple sessions, we're looking into sometimes hundreds to thousands of dollar for something that hasn't be proven to permanently remove hair.
First upon opening the box, there is lots of wax in there, and no lid- which is fine because it is in solid form. It comes with a wooden spatula, 400g of wax and 3 towelettes to wipe off any excess wax leftovers. Heating up the wax was probably the part I was most scared of. My condo's microwave is from '91 and heats up frozen burritos just fine so I hoped it wouldn't over heat my wax. After microwaving for the directed time and letting it sit (very important!) it was pretty much the perfect consistency to spread onto my legs. I gave it a quick stir with the spatula. I did three strips on each leg, it was warm to the touch but not hot, you can definitely feel it clinging onto the hairs as it solidifies. in one swift pull I ripped the first strip off my leg. Deep breathing is necessary for this part. It doesn't hurt but it is a tad uncomfortable. but voila! i obviously had to inspect the strip now covered with my leg hair, kind of gross but also interesting. and on my leg it was smooth and maybe 1 or 2 hairs left behind that I promptly tweezed away. There was hardly any wax residue left after I finished both legs but used a towelette just in case to make sure I had gotten all of it. There was no mess anywhere else. just keep the wax on your legs or on your spatula and you'll be mess free.
My underarms were another story. Please remember that your bikini area and underarms are much more sensitive and the hair roots are usually longer = discomfort. I didn't curse or anything, it was mostly awkward trying to wax my own armpits so I did each one with two separate strips of wax. The roots on those hair were long! But I'm happy to not have to worry about shaving there for the next 4 weeks!
Overall I'm very happy with the results from the Nair Cire Divine. I have enough left to probably do my underarms again, and I think this is a convenient, mess free, affordable way to get rid of unwanted body hair. I'll be purchasing it for sure once it hits shelves this year.
Happy Waxing!

NARS Pro-Prime is Oil-Free. With a dime size amount you can cover your face leaving your pores noticeable smaller and a matte finish, with smooth feeling skin. This is perfect to prep for foundation or just to cut down on an oily t-zone throughout the day. There is a faint hint of fragrance but it is all natural lavender and it fades once the primer has absorbed into your skin. -

I love drugstore finds! The Covergirl colour range available for this blush is great-every skin tone can be represented here and the blush is matte without looking chalkywhich is important to me. I've depotted these out of the original packaging to put together in a magnetic palette so I can have lots of colour options. The colour lasts all day! -

Coffee is my lifeblood, so I'm always looking for coffee alternatives in the summer when it's too hot for a steamy cup of joe.
I've tried all three flavours and the sugar alone jacks me up for a few hours but the only flavour I enjoy is Mocha.
I haven't yet found the light versions in BC. It's perfect with a few premade (actual) coffee ice cubes.
