I'm not entirely picky with my mascara, but this one just doesn't do the trick on my eyes.
My lashes are long, and I find that when the fine brush separates my lashes, they become too long and get clumpy at the ends. I start to look pretty scary.
My sister has shorter lashes and this is her mascara of choice. It's just not for me.

My favourite thing about this mascara is the big, wide brush. My lashes are already pretty long and thick, and this brush is big enough to handle them. I don't get any clumping.
The only down side is that from time to time, because the brush is not fine, it doesn't get between all of my lashes. So I start to get some lashes stuck together, but that's a pretty easy fix.

This is a multi-purpose moisturizer. I use it primarily for my lips.
It is an amazing lip balm. My lips chap easily, and this is my solution.
It does come off easily, if you are eating or drinking something with it on.
So I tend to apply it about five times a day.
If you offer some to your girlfriends... they will get hooked. That's what happened to me!

Maybelline New York Dream Matte Mousse Foundation

I personally am not a fan of foundation. When I use powder, my face looks to light. When I use liquid, my face looks too oily. Both made my face feel like I had a lot of make-up on.
Dream Matte Mousse however is the solution to my problems. I don't regularly wear any foundation, but when I want something to just even out my skin tone, I always turn to this. It's really lightweight which is most important for me.
It's not great for completely covering any blemishes or scarring, but it still gives your face a nice glow in pictures and in person. It's a good cheap alternative for anyone who doesn't take foundation seriously.

I came across this palette at a wedding show a few months ago. I was amazed at the colour selection and the vibrancy of the colours.
I like to keep my eye make-up really subtle during the day, and this palette has a wide variety of neutral tones for me.
At night time, I love to play up my eyes and get really experimental. This palette has enough colours to satisfy my creative side, and although all colours aren't great for my skin tones, I find that when I'm applying eye shadow on my friends of different skin tones, there is a good selection for them as well.

My girlfriend told me about this hand cream, and she tends to be right when she likes certain hand creams.
It is quite pricey for a tube at $20, but she spotted them on sale for $10.
That was when I decided to buy my own. It was perfect timing, as the weather was now changing over to spring, and my hands get incredibly dry during weather changes.
For some people, it is quite greasy, but because my hands get so dry, I prefer it.
I want to try the rest of their hemp like, the foot cream, lip balm, etc.

I decided to start using this body wash shortly after I moved downtown Toronto. The water quality had a bad effect on my skin and started to really dry it out.
I started to buy everything I could to help moisturize my skin, and this was the body was that did the trick. They smell wonderful, and the cream oil really softens my skin.

I've been to the Bier Markt several times, the one on Wellington St. It's a great place to have a large group celebration. Instead of trying to cram into a tiny bar, or losing track of everyone in a giant club, here you get the best of both worlds.
It is a huge venue, they've got tables and chairs everywhere, and a dance floor if you feel like jamming down. The live bands are usually pretty good. They play a lot of covers, so don't worry about not knowing their songs.
The food is good, but nothing can top their beer selection. They organize the beers by country, so you get to taste a lot of exotic beers that aren't carried by the LCBO.
