Picked this up as a clearance item. I really like this spray. I use it on my dry hair after it has dried then I use my straightener. I like it because it is easy to use and it keeps the frizz out of my hair. My hair also likes to have a mind of it's own and start curling up after a while and this spray keeps my hair straight and in place all day. I would buy this again. -

I purchased this Covergirl Tru Blend Foundation in Ivory (l1). I find that this product oxidizes quite a bit. Before purchase I swatched this colour and one colour darker on my wrist. I thought I was going to purchase the darker colour but after shopping around I noticed it had darkened quite a bit and was too dark for my skin. The lighter shade seemed too light at first but darkened more to my skin tone so I went with it. This is a wetter foundation than I am used to and I find that I have to use quite a bit of product to get coverage. It's really slippery on my skin when it's wet so I must be careful when applying not to smudge it off in places. I find it applies better with a dry beauty blender. There also is no SPF in this product, which was fine for me as I wanted a cheap drugstore foundation to wear on my night shifts. Because of the coverage and quality, I probably wouldn't wear it on a normal day anyhow. It does seem to last through a twelve hour shift though. I use the Tru Blend Face Primer for oily skin as a base then a matte powder and a matte setting spray on top. This combo controls the oil really well and I only have to lightly blot half way through a shift depending on how my skin is that day. It does not transfer off after blotting too much which is great. I would never wear this foundation without any of the other products, especially the primer. It does not cover up acne, redness or scarring very well and I find it difficult to apply. For these reasons I would not purchase again for myself. -

I was able to try these muffins for free thanks to Chickadvisor. I did enjoy the taste and texture of these muffins and I liked the fact that they used simple ingredients. I think they were easy to transport by being prepackaged as well. I don't think the value was very good. Nearly $5 for 4 muffins. I also don't think that these baked goods are very healthy even though they are being marketed as such. I would probably not buy these again unless I wanted a nice treat, even so I would probably bake my own muffins as I can control the amount of sugar and fats going into them. -

I was able to try these bars for free thanks the the Chickadvisor Review Club. I got mine from Metro and they were easy to find in the baked goods area. I like that these bars are individually wrapped so it was easy to take on the go or pack in my lunch. I loved the taste of these bars. The orange and cranberry flavours were distinct and noticeable and went well together. The texture was soft and was noticeable that they are made with whole grains which I think is great. Although the bars tasted great I probably would not buy them on a regular basis but more as a treat or if they were on sale. I don't think they are really "healthy" as people seem to think. They still are high in calories and sugar. I think it's great they are made with better ingredients but I would rather bake my own so I can use more natural sugar sources and add more fibre and protein. -

Recently bought this mascara to try. I like my lashes to be individually separated so I chose this one from the new Revlon line up; plus I love purple. Applied perfectly right away. No clumping and separated the lashes nicely. The first coat was nice but I wanted more definition and volume so I applied a second coat. The second coat went on easily over the first and kept the lashes separated and darkened them up. Minimal flaking noted throughout the day, I have had way worse. Just small little black specks that are barely noticeable unless you are truly looking for it. Lashes weren't hard but flexible when completely dry, even with two coats. Washes off easily as well. The brush is a plastic cone shape with different lengths of bristles. Was easy to apply to all lashes and was not overly coated with product at first use like many others. I got comments on my lashes the very first time I wore this mascara. For a drugstore mascara, I am a fan. -

I love Batiste dry shampoo. It always gets the job done. I love that it is able to dry up the oil but still leave the hair feeling soft and not too dry and cakey. The cherry scent worked just as well as the original. It smelled like a cherry candy. I wasn't as crazy about the smell as I thought I would be. I think some of the other Batiste scents are better and I would purchase those over the cherry. -

The Body Shop Satsuma Shower Gel
I love the refreshing smell of the Satsuma shower gel. It lathers up nicely and leaves my skin feeling clean and fresh without drying it out. I like the thickness of the product that it doesn't run everywhere.

I bought this foundation hoping to help with oil control and shininess. I was very disappointed in this foundation. I found it did not have good coverage for me and made my pores more noticeable. Even to layer the product to try and get more coverage did not work as it just moved the product around and removed it. It rubs off easily, especially if you scratch/touch your face it comes right off and leaves a mark and it is not possible to blot the oil with blotting sheets as it just removes the foundation. I applied this foundation with a damp beauty blender and used the matching primer underneath and powder on top. It looked and felt alright just after application but I work 12 hour shifts and it just does not last and about a third of the way through it looks terrible. I did like the packaging of this product. -
Vichy Normaderm Purifying Pore-Tightening Lotion
I really liked this toner. It left my face feeling extra clean after using the Normaderm cleanser. I could see the dirt and makeup it lifted off my face on the cotton pad. It didn't dry my face out like other products I've used.
