I like this toothbrush but I find it a bit too firm. It says soft on the package but was more firm than other 'soft' toothbrushes I have used in the past. Also, I don't really understand the tongue cleaner but I used it anyway.
That being said, I did see improvement in my teeth and enjoyed the results of the three products used together.

This floss is my go-to. I've tried other varieties if they were on sale but I always end up coming back to this one. I've never had a problem with fibers getting stuck or causing extra pain. It's also my mom and dad's favourite so I can always find it somewhere when I visit. -
COVERGIRL LashBlast Clump Crusher Mascara

I was skeptical about buying this mascara because I LOATHE Maybelline Falsies. The two mascaras have a similar spoon-brush shape. I felt that this brush fit my eye shape way better. I usually go for a mascara that will give me volume but I really love the length and separation of this mascara.
My favourite part is how easy it makes lower lash mascara application. Because of the curved shape, I don't get any smudges or blobs on the bottom. Also, I really like using the convex part of the curve to coat the back of my lashes for a stronger effect.
I really like the water resistant formula from Cover Girl. It doesn't smudge but it's not as pesky as waterproof to remove.

I had read the reviews on this cream/lotion and was very excited to try it. My face gets dry in the winter and I knew i needed more moisture.
The first two days were great, my skin felt supple, and not at all dry. Then I woke up on the third morning with a rash all over my face. Not completely chapped, but definitely bumpy. It was a bit painful too, mostly just itchy.
I stopped using it right away, luckily Body Shop has an exchange policy for when their products make you break out.
I was really dissapointed though. I like the smell and the texture a lot. Oh well, on to the next one, I guess.

I had heard many great things about this mascara, especially from people in the UK (pixiwoo). I wasn't planning on buying it but I saw it at the drugstore for 4 bucks on sale, a sale like this will guarantee that i will buy it.
The wand looks like it doesn't serve a purpose but it actually has a few benefits. One that I love it is that it can function like the givenchy phenomen'eyes mascara but it's better. The problem with the ball applicator mascara's is that the stick right next to it gets tons of the formula on it and when you are applying the mascara on your lashes you are likely to get a big blob on another part of your lashes from the stick. The great thing about sexy curves is that it has three ball-like shapes on the applicator that can act as the individual balls but there is no chance that you will get the awful blob. Awesome
The grooves help you apply a lot of product and then the balls separate the lashes.
This mascara is very versatile in the way that it is a great one-coat mascara for a natural look, it is great for layering AND it also works really well - almost as a top coat - on top of other mascaras for finishing definition or length at the ends. I apply this ontop of two coats of some maybelline colossal (which gives me full and fluffy lashes) to define the ends.
Rimmel sexy curves also lasts a looooooooong time. A lot of mascaras dry out or at least change texture really quickly, but this one stays the same for a good while. I have a feeling that the plastic application has something to do with it, unlike the fiber wands that might absorb the product. I also feel like the seal must be really tight because it has never dried out on me.
Even if it weren't on sale I would still buy this mascara, it's affordable and very versatile. You probably don't even need a lash curler with this one.
It also washes off very nicely, which is a great selling point for me because I hate extra mascara residue.

So I bought two tubes of this mascara because it was on sale (4 bucks! wow) and I guessed that jinxed it. I've heard it being compared to Bad Gal lash which I don't love that much either but it was so affordable that I had to try it. It got super clumpy, not that lengthening and the volume started out really great but it all got stuck together.
It does look great as one single sweep, very natural and separated but I'm a big lash gal and this just didn't cut it.

I just got my coupon in the mail a week ago for this product but I'm so happy that I did!
I picked the vitamin E one and at first I thought it smelled like a chewable vitamin c tablet but when I rubbed it into my skin it smelled more like a fresh, mens cologne. I really like how it keeps my skin moisturized long after I've applied it.

I love this lipstick. I also have it in strawberry suede.
Revlon Colorstay is probably the closest o mac you can get at a drug store. The pigments in this are really strong and last a long time.
I went to a party recently, ate and drank and my lipstick lasted all night long without smudging. If you blot the first layer reapply and blot again it will stay put for hours.
A great and affordable lipstick.

I love the idea of this product and the fact that Pat McGrath had the idea. The colours are beautiful and the application is easy.
My only problem is that it wares off in the middle (on me) and stays around the edges. I've noticed that on girls with fuller lips it stays true for hours because their lips don't touch each other as much.
Sometimes I mix a few of the colours right when I apply them by blending them out before they dry, and it has a nice dewy effect. I love that it has vitamin E in it unlike most lip stains that are alcohol base so this moiturizes your lips all day.
I really wish that they had a colour that was actually a peachy coral instead of koi coral which is like a hot pink.
The price is a little steep since it's so small but it's a great product.
