This is one of my most used and favourite products for cleaning! I especially love using this to clean those stains or marks on my white walls that do not want to come off. The Mr. Clean Magic Eraser has definitely saved my walls several times. This small pad can scrub off dirt that other cleaners can't! What I love about is that it lasts so long and one eraser pad can do so much! I think this is definitely worth your money and I will be repurchasing it time and time again to clean my place! -

Price: Usually 2 for $6CAD but you can also get them on special during their $1 flip flop deal
PROS:
1) Super affordable
2) Wide variety of colours - you can get a colour to match different outfits
3) Perfect for the beach/summer
CONS:
1) They aren't the most comfortable flip flop (not for walking around in all day). But for beach days - they'll do!
My personal Review:
I love buying these every year for when I plan to go to the beach! I recently brought them on my trip to Asia and took them on the beach with me all day. I love it because not only are they affordable but they also have a wide selection of colours as well! I usually wait for the $1 flip flop sale yearly to stock up on new supply!

Price $52 CAD
Product Claims:
1) Four metallic powder highlighters for intense luminosity
2) You can layer shades of Anastasia Beverly Hills Glow Kit, or wear them separately, on the face and body for a radiant glow
PROS:
1) Highly pigmented
2) Can layer the shades to intensify if you wanted to
3) Each pan can come out of the packaging - can place it into a "z" palette
4) Smooth consistency that allows the product to glide onto your skin
CONS:
1) Packaging does not contain a mirror (would be nicer if there was a mirror inside)
2) Packaging is a bit large and is not as travel friendly
My Personal Review:
That Glow is my most favourite Anastasia Beverly Hills Glow Kit. I own a few but this is the one that I use every, single day. I think it really works for my medium/tan skin tone! I really love this product and think it is so worth the money. This is so pigmented and really gives me that glow and pop of highlight. If you want your highlighter to be seen from outer space, well - this product is perfect for you. If you want your highlight to be subtle, this palette can also achieve that for you! These glow kits are so versatile and are able to glide onto your skin so smoothly. I highly recommend this product and I will definitely be repurchasing this time and time again!

This product really gave my face a flawless finish and complexion. It was really comfortable on the face and felt as if I was wearing nothing at all. I LOVE it when foundation allows me to feel as if I am not wearing makeup! Overall, I think that it is worth that $19 price tag. Even though it is a bit on the pricier side for a drugstore foundation but I found that this work so well on my skin. I loved that it gave me this 'natural glow' that was so easy to achieve!

These were the colours I purchased for the NYX Liquid Suede Cream Lipsticks
1) Soft Spoken
2) Vintage
3) Orange County
4) Stone Fox
5) Amethyst
There are a total of 12 colours on the NYX Canada website
Price: $ 10.00 CAD each
Where Can I find this?
1) NYX website (http://www.nyxcosmetics.ca/)
2) NYX Stores (Toronto, Ontario)
3) Shoppers Drug Mart
4) London Drugs
5) Funk n' Frost
6) If you live in the U.S. I have heard that these can be found online at the NYX website, at Ulta or Target
What does the NYX Liquid Suede product Claim?
This product claims that it:
1) Glides on and sets into a striking Matte Finish
2) Is Velvety Soft
3) Waterproof
4) Long Lasting
5) Creates a positively polished look with every swipe
So, does it live up to what it claims? Let's dive into the PROS/CONS of this product:
PROS:
1) The price (it is pretty affordable)
2) There are a wide selection of colours available (from neutral colours to bright/bold colours)
3) Doe foot applicator brush is easy to use and glides the product easily onto the lips
4) Formula is soft & creamy - very comfortable on the lips
5) The colour on your lips will last long
6) Lipstick can come off at the end of the night with the use of a makeup wipe
7) Cruelty Free
CONS:
1) Will have to reapply the lipstick after having a meal containing any oil (this happened to me after several hours of wearing Vintage)
2) Can transfer even when it is set on your lips
3) Depending on the colour, it does not necessarily dry 'matte' like it claims
Amethyst - dries matte
Soft Spoken - dries matte
Orange County - dries mattehas a more creamy/velvet finish when it dries
Vintage - has a more creamy/velvet finish when it dries
Stone Fox - has a more creamy/velvet finish when it dries
4) Not Waterproof
5) Only get 4mL of product
My Personal Review:
I think that the NYX Liquid Suede product is great; however, I feel a little bit torn. I really love the formula as it is long lasting and very comfortable to wear on the lips. I also love that there is a broad colour selection to choose from. The downside I would have to say is that the packaging is a little deceiving. While the NYX Liquid Suedes have a much larger bottle than other NYX products, you actually get more product when you purchase the smaller bottles (ie. Soft Matte Lip Creams).
I did some thorough investigating and here is the product breakdown:
NYX Liquid Suede (4mL) = $10 CAD
Xtreme Shine Lip Cream (7mL) = $ 9 CAD
Soft Matte Lip Cream (8mL) = $9 CAD
Intense Butter Gloss (8mL) = $ 8 CAD
Personally, I really love the Liquid Suede and Soft Matte Lip Cream formulas. I am a Matte-Lipstick kind of girl and the NYX Soft Matte Lip Creams have several bold colours that are very similar to the NYX Liquid Suede colours. For a $1 less, you get 2x as much product. It almost seems that the best deal for your money would be to invest in the Soft Matte Lip Creams vs. The NYX Liquid Suede.
Overall, I still definitely recommend the NYX Liquid Suede product due to its wonderful colour selection, formula longevity and affordability. I love every colour that I bought! Will I be repurchasing this product? Well, I might look into the Soft Matte Lip Creams first because you get more product for the $ price you pay but the Liquid Suedes have so many bold colours that are tough to find! Most likely if it's a very different colour (ex. such as Stone Fox) I'll be purchasing it! Let me know your thoughts if you give it a try!

I did a first impression and in-depth review about the Makeup Revolution Vivid Baked Highlighters. This brand is NEW to Canadian drugstores so I was super excited to test this out.
So, is this product worth the money? In this in-depth review, I let you guys know my thoughts on whether it's worth the $9.99 CAD price tag!
Product Claims:
"For an all year round bronzed look, use the buildable Vivid Baked Highlighter by Makeup Revolution. Provides a natural looking color which lasts all day. Revolution tip: Try using a wet brush for a more dramatic look."
"Peach Lights: This juicy Peach of a highlighter will give you instant cheekbones with its pearly shine. Great for fair skin tones."
"Golden Lights: You're Golden, as long as you have this powder on your side. With a yellow-gold sheen, this highlighter is ideal for medium to deep skin tones."
"Radiant Lights: This unique lilac shade will brighten up your cloudiest days and make you look Radiant. Perfect for fair to medium skin tones."
PROS:
Price (super affordable)
Highly Pigmented (just as pigmented as the Becca Cosmetics X Jaclyn Hill Champagne Pop)
Smooth formula & beautiful glow
Beautiful consistency that glides onto your skin
Lasts all day long
Different colours are available for various skin types
CONS:
Only have 3 colours available in Canadian drugstore right now.
I personally purchased Golden Lights and Peach Lights.
My opinion:
I LOVE this highlighter especially if you are on a budget! It is a great highlighter that is super affordable. I do prefer using this product dry rather than with a wet brush as I think it applies better. I did comparison swatches to the Becca x Jaclyn Hill Champagne Pop highlighter and this product is just as pigmented! I have a medium/tan skin tone and thought that Golden Lights was the perfect shade for my skin! Great job Makeup Revolution! It is definitely worth the $9.99 CAD price tag!
