This product is amazing! It is now my go-to eye liner, and everyone I have told about it loves it as well! The only time I use a stick liner now is for my lower waterline.
Application is very smooth, and you have a lot of control over the line (the brush makes it easy to achieve the shape, thickness, and "darkness" that you desire). Surprisingly, the brush is great for everyday use! However, when I am trying to achieve a really dark line, I will use a firmer, angled brush (the one they provide is very soft) and I get a nice dark line (almost like liquid liner).
The other thing is that you need so little! That small jar will last you forever. I usually need another eye liner every few months (I usually use a retractable stick format), but with this liner it seems like it will last forever! I'd say it's last for at least 5x longer than the stick format - so that's great value for your money!
The only drawback is that it does smudge, so if you draw a thick line I find it smudges a bit over your lids. However, if you set it with dark eye shadow it also helps it last longer and not smudge. The other great thing is that with the brush, I am able to get the colour closer to my lash line.
Overall, it is a great product!!

This product is way too STICKY!! While it does make your lips very shiny, you are in trouble if there is a gust of wind and your hair blows over your lips ... If you are looking for very shiny, glossy lips then this product is great (although a little on the pricey side), but if you are looking for a "subtle" gloss, I would skip this one. -

This product is SO effective and is now a household staple!! It especially makes cleaning the bathroom a breeze, and in a few scrubs can get rid of difficult soap scum (which can take lots of elbow grease with other cleaners!) I was a little skeptical at first that the plain white "sponge" would have so much cleaning power by just adding water .... but it WORKS! -

This is a great product! It makes removing nail polish so easy and convenient. It is much quicker and easier than using a bottle of remover with tissue or cotton balls. You just dip your fingers in the sponge/container and rotate them a couple time, and when you pull your finger out the nail polish is gone! You also avoid the strong nail polish remover smell that you get in your bathroom or wherever you throw out your nail polish remover soaked cotton balls. The only thing is that you can't remove polish from your toes with this product ... so you'll still need to have some traditional remover on hand! -

I've tried most of the Fuze flavours, and I think their "shape" line is the best tasting. Each bottle has about 20 calories, and claims to have ingredients to help metabolize carbohydrates and fats. Not sure how that works ... but the taste is good! My favourites are Strawberry melon and Pomegranate Acai Berry (tastes like a freezie - the white one!). -

Ban is an effective deodorant, which keeps you smelling fresh all day. The scent I purchased was "sweet surrender", and it smells great! I've even given people hugs and they'll say they love my perfume (which I would not be wearing), but it would be the ban deodorant (a little awkward!). So, in terms of "smelling fresh" all day it is very effective. If you are sweating heavily though for example working out or on a hot day, it's not the most effective in wetness protection. But for everyday use I really recommend this product, and you will smell delicious!!! -

Bath & Body Works recently launched some new hand soaps, one of them being "Sunburst Tangerine". It is a kitchen soap that is supposed to eliminate cooking odours from your hands. It is effective in eliminating odours such as onion, garlic, etc., and after using this soap you smell as if you have just peeled a fresh, juicy tangerine! It smells very authentic, not a "fake" orange smell. I absolutely love the scent. The foam format is my favourite as well, with each pump dispersing delicious, frothy, bursts of tangerine scented soap. However, that is a personal preference, since I do think that overall the gel soap with beads (sort of like an exfoliator) may be more effective in kitchen situations when you might want to more thoroughly clean your hands (i.e. if you were handling raw chicken). Overall, this is a great smelling soap that is a pleasure to use! -

I received a sample of this product, and I loved it! I immediately purchased the shampoo and conditioner, and have been using it ever since. I have naturally straight hair, however I often get flyaways. This product solved that problem for me, and has been the most effective solution I have tried. My hair is sleek, smooth, and easy to style. It just looks healthier. The only potential drawback is the price, as it a little more expensive than the typical drug store brand (about $10 a bottle). For me, it's worth it though, and I really recommend this product! -
