Just like the single E.L.F. blushes, this duo packs a punch for only a few dollars. The combination of bronzer and blush makes this ideal for travelling (especially if you're worried about losing you luggage and having to pay to replace your makeup bag).
I find the combinations are a little bright and pigmented for my very fair skin, but a light hand and some good blending makes this a favourite.

e.l.f. Cosmetics Studio Blush

This is best value blush I have found. I've not only hit pan on this product, I've done it more than once. That's impressive if you have as many blushes in your makeup stash as I do.
The blush is blendable, nicely pigmented, and comes in a variety of flattering shades. I will continue to replace this as I use it up even when I'm trying out other, more expensive products. E.L.F. saves the day with value that absolutely cannot be beat.

Benefit Cosmetics Benetint Cheek and Lip Stain
I love this as a lip tint. It's subtle when applied in a single swipe, and buildable for a more intense "I just ate a popsicle" look. I don't find it drying on my lips, but I do use the benebalm lip balm over top of it to keep it looking juicy for... +
I love this as a lip tint. It's subtle when applied in a single swipe, and buildable for a more intense "I just ate a popsicle" look. I don't find it drying on my lips, but I do use the benebalm lip balm over top of it to keep it looking juicy for longer. I carry the benebalm with me but I think it requires the benetint as a base.
I'm not a huge fan of this product for cheeks. It's hard to blend on anything other than freshly moisturized skin, and if you use any kind of pressed powder you're definitely out of luck.

These are the easiest, most standard crowdpleasing snacks. Quick and inexpensive, a variety pack placed in the centre of an office will go quickly and please most.
Also nice, as specialty, time limited donuts come out at Tim's, so too do the matching timbits. Great for tasting something new with your coffee.

This is a great product for people who don't really like the taste of coffee. It tends to be sweet and creamy, and certainly comes in a variety of fun flavours.
If you're a Tim Hortons french vanilla drinker, or like beverages like that, it's going to be a hit with you. I like it for the occasional treat to brighten up a morning.

D'Italiano Thick Slice Bread
This stuff is addictive. My husband and I are both huge fans of D'Italiano bread. Yes, it's not very good for you... But it's also a big treat in our home. Fluffy, soft, and oh so tasty!

KVD Vegan Beauty Tattoo Liner
This is a really long lasting easy to apply liquid liner. It's very black, doesn't tug, pull or skip as you apply, and doesn't fade or smudge once set. It's my must have liquid liner.

This is a good, solid mascara with a very nice wand. I like the way the sample size wand fits in my hand and works around my lashes. I have few problems with smudging during application thanks to the tiny plastic bristles.
It's a little expensive for the final effect, but I'm using this one up for sure.
