e.l.f. Cosmetics Eyeshadow Brush
This is such a great little brush for a very low price ($1 at Dollarama!) Really packs on colour like a charm. Stays intact even after years of washing in hot, soapy water.

Ok, I'm not a makeup artist...I'm not even that great at applying it, but I think this brush blends like a dream. Love the white colour with pink tip. Bought it at Dollar Tree in the US for only $1! It really is worth much more than that! Easy to clean, bristles stay intact even after regularly washing it in hot, soapy water. -
Your Skin But Better CC+ Cream with SPF50

The IT Cosmetics CC+ Cream was one of my favourites for daily wear for a number of years, but I admit I have found something I like more these days. I own the Light colour, but it is a bit dark for me so I mix it with a bit of Fair (Illumination formula) for the perfect match. Coverage is pretty good for a CC cream, and it is buildable but it can get a bit cakey as you build it up - at least on me, it can. The finish is quite dewy, so I do have to powder it down a bit, but that's fine with me. It is a great CC cream to take on beach vacations when you want a nice glow and bit of coverage, but not a very 'made up' or matte look. I love that it has SPF 50 in it - wow! The only problem is that it is a bit pricey, so now that I've found something cheaper that I like better, I will probably not buy this again. -

Benefit Cosmetics Boxed Powder in Dandelion

Don't get me wrong, I really like the Benefit brand and I love a few of their boxed blushes (namely Coralista, Bella Bamba, and Hervana). Dandelion, however, really has no colour payoff on my skin and I am quite fair. I do like the packaging and the colour is pretty in the box, but for the price (which is not cheap at all!) it does absolutely nothing as far as I'm concerned. Very disappointing. -

I received this product from ChickAdvisor for review (thank you so much @DegreeWomen & @ChickAdvisor! #gotitfree #trydegree)
The Degree Women Ultraclear Black + White Pure Rain Dry Spray Antiperspirant is a pleasant-smelling and effective product. I like the locking feature on the spray nozzle, which makes it 'safe' to travel with. Unfortunately, if you inadvertently spray it from too close a distance the product does collect, bead, and fall to the floor, causing a mess (just ensure that you spray it from a distance of at least 6 inches to be safe). However, once applied correctly I felt dry and fresh while carrying on with my busy day. At the end of the day there was no visible residue on any black undergarments, which is a miracle!
I cannot speak to the value of the product as I have not been made aware of suggested retail price; however, I will definitely be trying this product again in the summer with my white t-shirts, as it claims that it is 'anti yellow stains & white marks' - now, THAT would be worth the cost alone!

I received this product from ChickAdvisor for review, and passed it along to my uncle for trial (thank you @DegreeMen & @ChickAdvisor! #gotitfree #trydegree) These are his words:
"A strong yet subtle product with a pleasing fragrance that lasts momentarily making one aware of its presence.
I like the spray rather than gel or stick as it reduces the risk of residue on clothing and clumpiness after application. Application is easy with its accurate nozzle. I also like the locking feature that reduces the risk of wastage during travel.
I used it daily rather than the 48 hour protection it promotes and with no overuse affect.
I would recommend this product based on value and effectiveness with a rating of 9/10."

Unfortunately, I just didn't like this product. From trying to find the 'hidden' directions on the bottle to the splotches of dye left on my face, I was frustrated throughout the whole experience. The application is not very user-friendly. In my case I mostly need coverage around the perimeter of my face (just above the forehead and on the sideburns) which was practically impossible to achieve without ending up looking like a leopard. I will say that I did like the coverage and colour of the product when I sprayed it on the crown of my head - an opaque rich chocolatey brown; however, it was a very matte finish, like a dry shampoo, and I prefer the glossy natural look. Also, I wasn't comfortable wearing this out of the house - it did rub off on my fingers when I touched my hair. I will stick to Root Touch Up by Nice 'n' Easy/Clairol - haven't found anything that beats it yet. [#gotitfree by ChickAdvisor for review] -

You have to go to Sephora or anywhere else they sell Maison Margiela's Replica line of perfume because this scent is unbelievable! It's unlike anything I've ever smelled before, and the packaging is so unique - sort of like an apothecary jar. If you are looking for something different than the floral or perfume-y scents for women, you will love this powdery scent (not powdery like baby powder...it's pretty much indescribable with words!) I'm not going to lie, it is quite expensive for a relatively unknown brand, but once you smell it you HAVE to have it...or, at least, that's what happened to me :) -

The Aveeno Daily Moisturizing Body Yogurt Lotion in the Vanilla and Oats scent is a super-emollient, long-lasting body lotion that smells just like vanilla yogurt. I used it all over after my evening shower and my skin was still silky smooth the next morning and through to the afternoon (it felt like I had just applied the lotion!) I love the gentle scent and the creamy, almost gel-like, consistency. Highly recommended! #gotitfree -
