It's not possible to buy only one item from Bath and Body Works when they're having a sale. I actually grabbed this particular scent on a whim because I had gotten dizzy from smelling all the scents in the shop. I love anything citrus-y so I thought I would love the smell. Unfortunately, I didn't. At first spray, there is a faint hint of citrus, like when your nails dig in to the skin of a juicy orange. Then another smell comes through as what I thought was a artificial green tea smell (emphasis on the artificial). It was a weird combination and I just did not like it too much. -

I received this in my mailbox yesterday and gave them a try. This is my first time trying this brand, I usually use RUIMIO razors to shape my eyebrows but I saw these were a dollar for a pack of 3 on Ebay and thought why not give it a try. (The shipping took forever but at least it was free shipping) The handles of these razors were cheaply made but the razors themselves weren't bad. The blades did feel a little rough on my skin without any cream but it nevertheless took the hairs clean off. At a dollar, these were a bargain, so overall i'm satisfied with my purchase. -

I bought the standard 0.4oz Bobbi Brown Shimmer Brick and have been consistently using it for the past few months. The individual bricks are very narrow, a good quality brush would go well when applying this product. I typically use the bricks individually as eye-shadow or highlighter. It is very shimmery so a small amount would be enough if you're using it as eye shadow. Even though I've use this multiple times, it looks nearly brand new because of how little I need to achieve my desired effect. It is a good investment and sephora also offer travel size if you want to try it out first. -

Effective. Convenient. Easy to use. These tide pods may small, but they can handle a whole lot of load! I originally used liquid detergent/powder detergent to wash my clothes. They too worked but ever since I tried these pods, I never looked back. First comes the convenience: toss 1 or 2 into the washing machine and the pod will dissolve on its own. No need to measure out amount of liquid or powder detergent using cups. Just remember 1 pod for small load, 2 for medium and 3 for large. Speaking of 3, these pods also have stain removing solution as well as brightener solution WITH the main cleaning solution, all together 3 in 1 little pod. I really recommend trying this out because my clothes have never been so clean or smelled so good! -

I have combination skin so my forehead and the area around my nose is always oily. I use the Vichy Normaderm mask once every week and it has made my skin feel refreshing and clean. I would recommend this product for people with oily skin because the mask does take the oil off the face after washing it off, so it probably won't suit people with very dry or sensitive skin. The cream is squeezed out like toothpaste and I use the size of about a nickle to cover my entire face. I put more on my forehead and nose and a bit less on my cheeks. There are tiny little beads in the cream for exfoliation as well. The mask will dry and feel tight after about 10-15 minutes, after which I splash some warm water to soften the mask and begin exfoliating. It's a great product to have for people with oily skin, but always remember to lightly moisturize after use for best results. -

After trying these Kotex tampons, they became my favourite tampons! Each tampon come with a plastic applicator for easy insertion, as well as a rubber section for a sturdier grip. The tampons I used before did not come with a rubber grip and I had to be super careful not to accidentally pinch my self down there. After switching to these tampons, I never had any problem again with the pinching problem. I personally use regular sized tampons even if it means more frequent changes, Toxic Shock Syndrome apparently has a slightly higher chance to occur with more absorbent tampons. Overall, these are really great and I recommend giving them a try if you haven't already. -

Missha is a popular South Korean cosmetics and skin-care brand. This cream was recommended by the sales girl so I had no prior knowledge about this product and how well it worked. The cream is just right, not too thick or sticky in consistency. It has a light fragrance blended in but not too heavy, which I liked. Just like its name, the Super Aqua water supply cream is meant to hydrate and moisturize the skin. I found that although the cream is readily absorbed into my skin, the moisturizing effect was not amazing. I expected it to do more for my skin, but given its price, it wouldn't hurt to try it yourself as they have many more products in the "Super Aqua" line. -

A very novel store in downtown Toronto. Outer Layer is a unique little shop that offers many interesting items ranging from a mustache pacifier, bacon lip balm, to kitchen knife earring studs. Although the store is small and roomy, you are bound to find something for yourself or a gift for a friend. The staff is helpful and you'll find yourself spending easily half an hour trying different hand creams/ fragrances, flipping through funny greeting cards and more! -

This is a very strange product offered once again by Demeter. Demeter fragrance library offers a wide range of unique and bizarre smelling products. This product is one that I intentionally looked for, and Demeter was one of the few companies that sold it. I had the intention to buy this as a gift for my friend because she always told me that she absolutely loved the refreshing smell of dirt after a rainy day. After some digging around (get it?), I found a store that sold this fragrance and tried the tester on my wrist. It certainly smelled like dirt, but not what I was expecting. It didn't smell like the "refreshing" dirt smell during the rain, rather more like a soggy, mossy, moldy(?) dirt, as if I stuck my nose inside a bag of top soil. I didn't purchase the fragrance. It was expensive and served more as a novel item than practical use. Give it a smell if you ever stumble among this product, or any of the Demeter line, it's sure to be a unique experience! -
Wet N Wild Nail Polish Black

I really like how easily it applies on my nails. However, the polish does not last long at all! It chips very easily, even when I’ve put a top coat on. On a good week, this polish would probably last 2 days before a large, noticeable chip appears and if you’re going to be doing housework or handiwork, you can just forget about lasting even a day with this polish on. I am disappointed at this product but Wet n wild offers many other products that I love. -
