I've been on a hunt for a palette that is compact, isn't all neutral, pigmented enough and is moderately priced. I thought I was looking for a unicorn, then I stumbled upon this at Rexall and it was on sale!
Mine is called C'est La Vie and it's 9 colours including lighter shades for day time and darker greens, a navy and a brown for evening. A beautiful deep green is so hard to find in a palette and this one has two of them. I use the brown and navy as liners which works really well.
It does crease a bit towards the evening, but I think that could easily be solved by using a primer - I just can't be bothered. Using concealer as a primer does help it quite a bit.
I think this may be discontinued now, but hopefully you can still find it.

I was looking for a new cleanser to target the clogged pores I've been getting lately.
I decided to give this a try - a little terrified of putting soap on my face at first.
Pros:
Definitely clearer softer feeling skin which I was after. We'll have to see how it does long term, but after a little over a week, it's doing well.
Cons:
Soap bar - having to store it and not get gross
It does leave a slight tightness on the skin at first, but it's gone within 30 minutes to an hour.

I enjoy the product but not the applicator. It looks squished and flimsy. I'm inclined to wash it out and maybe it will work better.
After struggling with it for a few days, I decided to apply the product with a clean applicator from a different mascara that's long gone and the results were much better.

I purchased this product and gave it a try based on the reviews posted on Sephora's website.
I've been having good skin days so I decided to try this out.
Right away I noticed that it's a little thicker than I normally like my face creams to be, but since it's winter I thought it would be beneficial.
It is quite scented which is nice, makes me feel a little fancy! But if scented face cream isn't for you, steer clear.
I wore this once and ended up with dry, peeling spots on my forehead and a massive painful pimple in a spot where I never get them.
So this is most definitely a no-go for me.

I got this jar at the One Of A Kind Show a while ago and I LOOOVE this!
It's lightly scented scrub that's gentle enough but scrubs away all the dead skin leaving my hands super smooth and moisturized.
Also important - it's hand made in Toronto by some really lovely people which makes it that much better!

On my quest to find a natural deodorant that works, I tried this one as per the recommendation of the sales associate at the natural store.
The good:
The smell of the product in the package - light, clean smell like mild soap.
Convenient package like regular deodorant
Easy on the wallet
Without harsh chemicals
The not so good:
By 2pm I was making sure not to lift my arms because I was sweating through my shirt (and this never happens)
The nice smell in the package, turns into an old lady scent of moth balls/medicine once it reacts with your sweat
Overall, this isn't going to cut it as a replacement for my regular deodorant. The search continues...

I received this eye shadow stick as part of my #GoshGoddess Kit.
Its light purple metallic shade was immediately a plus. The application is super smooth, doesn't tag on the eye lid and the colour payoff is great even with just one swipe.
It stays on quite well.
I was hoping that I could use it for liner, but the colour isn't dark enough to go just on it's own. It will be great during the holiday season for sure!
The best way I found to use this product is to smudge some on the lid and then fade it out with my fingers. Great sparkly base for other shadows or just on it's own with a black liner makes for a super quick and easy evening look.
The package isn't kidding about being waterproof - it doesn't come off with just water and the sparkles stay on your face until the next day.
Overall, I recommend this to anyone who's looking for some sparkle that's easy to apply and control.

I received this as part o #GoshGoddess package.
Almost immediately I noticed that the package isn't so great at preventing the powder from spilling everywhere.
I applied the powder under my foundation the first time I tried it - my face turned really oily half way though the day and that doesn't normally happen.
I tried using it as a finishing powder - same story. Oily, shiny face by lunch time.
I found that it does work as a pretty good base for eye shadows for me.
Sadly, a miss for me.

LOVE IT! LOVE IT! LOVE IT!
I can't say it enough times. I received this mascara in my #GoshGoddess package. The bright fuchsia package is pretty and stands out in my makeup bag.
The first thing I noticed was the enormous wand! It's ~30% bigger than the mascara I was using just before this.
The brush is quite stiff which makes it easy to comb through my lashes and apply evenly. The length and volume it adds is great. My lashes look longer and fuller. It's buildable - even after 2 generous coats it doesn't clump. The only thing you have to keep the wand straight as you wiggle it through otherwise the lashes will look lopsided.
Definitely recommend this for anyone looking to achieve great volume!

I received this product as part of my #GoshGoddess package.
I was instantly in love with the colour! So vibrant and bold, I don't usually go for colours like that.
As soon as I applied it, I was in love. It's super moisturizing, shiny and doesn't dry our my lips. What's more, it doesn't stick and stays put for hours.
I got tons of compliments on the new look.
For more a more laid back look, I applied a sheer coat of the lacquer, it was still moisturizing, not sticky and a beautiful longlasting tint.
I highly recommend this for anyone looking to experiment with some bolder lip options.
