I got this mascara as part of a gift set and at first, I didn't like it. It made my lashes stick together and looked spidery.
Once I got the hang of it, I loved it! It makes my eyes look HUGE! Long lashes, you can use the wand to curl them up a little (I never use an eye lash curler) and it's very black.
I often wear it as a second coat for more "oomph" for special occasions.
I definitely recommend this!

My holy grail of curl creams!!
I've been using this product for months and it's great for keeping my curls in great shape, shiny, not crunchy and bouncy. The great scent is a bonus.
It's often on a promotion at Shoppers Drug Mart and it's definitely worth the money.
Definitely need to apply more than the "recommended amount" on the bottle but once you get the hang of it, it's easy to just run it through your hair and let air dry for most natural look.
You can even add a bit of water on the second day to reactivate the cream by scrunching though it a bit.

After trying the damage repair line, I decided to target my curls, hoping that I'll be able to wear my hair naturally more often.
It works!!
The shampoo and conditioner work together to leave my curls moisturized, not weighted down. The curls keep their shape even after sleeping on them. It's much healthier feeling and softer.
I would definitely recommend this to other curly haired ladies!

My hair is pretty damaged by heat styling and I can definitely tell that it's become softer, more manageable and split ends are appearing "sealed" at least on the first day after wash. The hair care system I was using previously was drying out my hair and I was dire need of a moisture boost. I love the smell and the fact that the overnight mask isn't greasy and absorbs quickly into the hair. I would recommend these products to anyone searching for a new system that smells great, isn't overly expensive and works! -

I got this as a pick me up after a brutal work day and I love it!
I picked colour #219 Plush Plum. It's sheer but buildable, super moisturizing and it lasts!
It's a great shade I keep in my purse, to add just a touch of polish to my look whether at work, dinner or just running errands. It smells just a little loke vanilla which is A welcome bonus. I highly recommend this!

I fell in love with the scent of this lotion the moment I opened it!!
It smells like an exotic fruit basket and the scent lingers on your hands for a while.
It's my office desk hand lotion and a frequent sharing product among the girls here. It absorbs quickly and doesn't leave the greasy sticky feeling after. Leaves your hands amazingly soft.
Best of all it's 88% organic which is great, no slathering on parabens every time I put this on.
Most definitely recommend this one!

Fresh Sugar Lip Treatment SPF 15

While it's over $20 for a full size product, I have a sample of it and I am tempted to repurchase once it runs out.
The product smells amazing, isn't sticky, glides on super smooth and leaves my lips hydrated for a long time. The tinted Rose version is a tiny bit minty tasting and adds a sheer hint of colour that nails that "my lip colour but better" look for me perfectly.
I like that the cap is a twist closure which means it isn't going to open in my purse and smear all over the place.
Overall, two thumbs up!

Aloe and Green Tea, paraben free and made in Canada. I was sold.
The packaging is pretty standard, comes with a safety seal.
It's lightweight and absorbs quickly. It is soothing and calms the redness in my skin.
My skin seems to be reacting positively to this cream - breakouts are subsiding even in the crazy heat/humidity of the last couple weeks.
This product smells very herbal when you first put it on, but the smell disappears as it absorbs into your skin.
I would definitely repurchase - although with 120ml in the tube, it's going to last me a while!
Most definitely recommend!

I know everyone raves about this mascara and I can definitely see why, but it's just not for me.
I received it in the BeautyInsider Birthday Gift from Sephora and I was really looking forward to trying it.
I packed it on my recent vacation (perfect mini size for my travel makeup bag!) and off I went.
The good:
Great lengthening for my lashes - they did look super long
The wand is really interesting with the ball at the end to get the outer corners
Didn't flake all day through sun, humidity, physical activity
The not so good:
Clumped up really quickly
My left eye turned out lopsided (I'm right handed), but that doesn't happen with other mascaras
Left a disaster of a mess on my face when removing it at night - had to scrub it off with two makeup removing wipes and still left me racoon eyes
Made my lashes sharp and crusty feeling
I kept the tube, might use it for a special occasion when I really need to create drama, but definitely not going to be my new favorite.

These have become my go to liners every day.
They glide on super easily, stay put all day, and best of all come off with no smudges at the end of the day.
The colour pay off is great. Oscar Fish (brown) and Moray (mossy green) are my favorites to use with my green eyes.
All 5 have a just bit of shimmer to them which adds dimension and makes the colours pop. I especially like it in Stargazer (black).
The only drawback which I noticed (and have also noticed in other reviews) is the packaging. It's a twist up pencil, which is great because there's no need to scramble for a sharpener, but sadly it doesn't twist up very well. I have to twist back and forth a few times before the product comes out.
Other than that, love these!
