I got 3 different colours in the specific line but this one is my absolute favorite. It goes on very smooth and looks really high end on your hands. It stays put for 4-5 days and all it needs is a fresh top coat after day 3 to last even longer. You could get away with doing just one generous coat and not need a second one, but doing 2 intensifies the colour which I like.
Cons - it doesn't have the same brush as the Insta-Dry line does which I really love.
*these are not my nails, I googled the image for the right colour*

I heard about this product a while ago but never saw it in a store, except for once and the package was open already. So I didn't get it then.
This summer I was shopping with a friend in PA state and we came across these. We each bought one because they were so adorable.
I've been using it for about 2 months now and I love it. It makes my lips super smooth and soft and tastes delicious without tasting like chemicals. It is an odd looking shape, but surprisingly it's comfortable to apply and doesn't get everywhere (which was my initial fear). It hasn't melted when I was in super hot weather while I was traveling which is a huge plus (and sadly happened to another favorite lip balm of mine).
Overall, absolutely worth every penny!

I've been a skeptic of St. Ives for a little while, but it's back in my good books now!

I love the HUGE Forever 21 store at Vaughan Mills. I could probably spend over an hour there, going through the hundreds of pieces.
The only downside of this store is that the shoe department leaves something to be desired but other than that, tons of selection! They also carry their special lines like Twist and Love21 which are amazing. The accessories wall is both adorable and functional with mirror panels so you don't have to go searching for a mirror with every pair of earrings or necklace.
It's a really big space but I wish it was set up a little differently and changing rooms were a little better organized, but that's the case with every location I've been to in the city, so maybe it's just how they want it to be.
Quality-wise, it's really hit and miss and you never know! I have a few pieces from there that have been in constant use for a couple years and still look brand new and others that barely survived a season!
Price points differ, but for on trend clothes and accessories that may only stick around for a season or two and fun party clothes, you really can't go wrong!

This store is quickly becoming one of my absolute favorites! When I was a student I used to pass it by thinking it was too stuffy, but now that I've turned into a working girl, I don't complete a mall shopping trip without stopping in!
The clothes are well made and although regular price is still a bit out of my budget, they have tons of sales on so I can always find something.
One of the greatest things about this store is that their dresses fit me without having to go through alterations! And with the variety of styles they have, I'm thinking that my next few dresses whether casual or more cocktail party appropriate will come from there.
My favorite purchase from there was my new "mature" fall coat. A beautiful black long-ish belted wool coat with an off-center zipper. No alterations needed, sleeves fit perfectly and it's super versatile, can be worn to work with a classic skirt and heels and just as easily with jeans and all-star sneakers on the weekends. I've gotten tons of compliments on it in the last few weeks - and if you think that almost everyone has a black wool coat, that says a lot!

I love this moisturizer for the winter. At first I thought it was too heavy but I think after a few days my skin got used to it and it's great. It leaves my skin smooth and saves it from the flakiness in the winter that's almost inevitable in our Toronto climate.
I would recommend this to anyone especially anyone with dry-ish skin.
The smell is great!
Also, it's amazing for healing scars and chapped lips!

This product seems sort of pointless. I got it as part of a set that I bought with tons of other great products, but this one didn't really make any difference. It promises smooth lips and all but it doesn't really do much, just leaves a tingly and slightly greasy feeling.
Overall, nothing to gush over.

I bought this mascara and was majorly disappointed.
It is THE messiest mascara I've ever used - it gets everywhere but doesn't really stick to lashes.
It flakes before I get home from work and that's never happened before.
It has a really weird texture and a brush that looks like it's been used for years even though I've only used it for a week or two.
Even layering it over a primer or anything like that doesn't work.
The only cool thing about the product is the shiny pink tube - you'll never lose it in your makeup bag...but at this rate, it might just be nice to misplace it!
Very disappointing...a waste of money!
