This mascara really works wonders! As someone with fairly short natural lashes though, I feel that the brush is more suited towards someone with naturally long lashes looking to boost volume. I've purchased this at least four or five times and each time I would have like a finer tip to exaggerate my inner eye corner. The formula is a great texture and is neither too thick or too watery. You will have to do a few strokes to get the product evenly spread though as it is definitely a bit too thick to complete your lashes in a single comb or two (if time is an issue and you often find yourself doing your makeup on the go like myself, Make Up For Ever's Smoky Extravagant is a much better solution to brush and time constraints). -

Used to love this stuff until what seems like a formula change! My eyes are extremely sensitive and so as someone who used to use this mascara exclusively, I lit up after my most recent application of They're Real! While the brush is undeniably amazing (and obviously a big reason why this product used to be so effective), the texture of the mascara is now more wet and thick, and dries clumpy. Heaven forbid you try to clean up with a lash comb... this makes for a very flakey and painful experience. Be sure to have the visine on stand by... with extra effective relief for redness! Returned the first bottle I bought to Shopper's before buying another at Sephora and ran into the exact same problem. Expiration was definitely not the issue. Disappointed as this used to be my go to mascara! -

Worth every penny! This is my absolute favourite concealer and has been a staple of my makeup bag for over three years. I would never consider switching products unless the formula were to experience a dramatic change. The pink beige is excellent for covering blemishes and is even more impressive as an under eye concealer. With just a bit of added product, I find it also boosts the effect of my highlighter or acts alone to brighten my entire look. I use it from the inner corners of my eyes past the outer corner to finish where my brow ends. Have never found a concealer I love more! -
Simple Kind To Skin Soothing Facial Toner
Actually a fairly good toner for a drug store brand! Love the natural philosophy and the fact it doesn't break out or burn my skin on contact. I use just a bit on a cotton pad to get the job done and love the feeling you get when you find even more... +
Actually a fairly good toner for a drug store brand! Love the natural philosophy and the fact it doesn't break out or burn my skin on contact. I use just a bit on a cotton pad to get the job done and love the feeling you get when you find even more makeup on the other side! Leaves a very clean and refreshing feeling. Feels as though my pores are having a drink of water following toning with my moisturizer! Love it! -

Beautiful colour and finish! Although you will definitely need to reapply at least once during the day, it is worth sacrificing wear time for the natural ingredients you're getting in this brush and the Dr. Hauschka line! This blush goes on super naturally rather than bright and inauthentic like some other products (also matte not glittery, yes!). A variety of shades also makes this blush suitable for many different wearers of many different complexions. I will definitely be buying another once I finish up this compact. -

Gorgeous smell that triggers a very relaxing feeling in the user! I use this personally for headaches but also as a means of helping my husband wind down at the end of the day; I massage his hands and feet with Muscle Melt on tough days at work (he works in the film industry and spends 12+ hours minimum on his feet daily). While I do find peppermint halo very soothing, it has a tendency to burn a bit on my more sensitive days though, although I would just suggest applying a small amount to your wrists (and transferring the product to your head) rather than running the roller over your head. Warning: Be careful not to get it near your eyes!! -

My number one favourite lip balm!! Love the natural ideology behind this brand and the effectiveness of this product in particular. I struggle with dry lips and love the fact that these go on so smoothly. Super hydrating and very effective in repairing my cracked lips. I use these lip balms throughout the year! -
Estee Lauder Double Wear Stay-in-Place Foundation

Definitely has staying power but I can't get over the smell! Not for me. Foundation colours tend to be very rich as well making it a bit difficult to blend it with your skin tone if you are in between shades. Also not crazy about the bottle. I prefer a squeeze tube as it's much easier to use product sparingly instead of overpowering and wasting product. Strong coverage though! -

Although I have switched to more natural products since my time using the three step system, there is no denying that it works! I originally started as Dry-Normal Combination but later transitioned to Dry as my skin became much more sensitive (hence the even more drastic switch to organic and natural lines later on). My skin made the transition back to flawless with the help of the three step system and for that, it will always have a special place in my heart! The cleanser is very gentle and the toner does not cause redness in my cheeks. Dramatically Different Lotion is also a super lightweight and effective moisturizer that doesn't sit on top of my skin and can be used several times throughout the day for an instant refreshing feeling. Recommend this system to anyone else facing epidermally tough times :p -

Beautiful colours but not as long lasting as the name implies. I found that I get no more than 3 hours of wear before I'm down to my lip liner (on a good day). It is however, a surprisingly moisturizing lip product compared to other similarly advertised items. Not sure if I would buy this product again, although I certainly wouldn't pay full price. -
