China Glaze Nail Polish
Good polish but hard to find around Montreal. I like it tho'. The colours are beautiful, the texture is great, very fluid and easy to apply. It dries like any other polish really and lasts for a few days without visible chipping.

This is amazing! I am almost fnished with my bottle, and this has to be the first nail product I manage to actually go thru entirely. It is a phenomenal product! It helps dry nail polish so much faster. It used to take me hours to get a 2 coat nail polish set completely, but when I apply Seche Vite on damp polish it is set, completely , within minutes. What a time saver! It also helps prolong wear of my polish, one week with minimal chipping, which is a lot for me. Also it gives my nails this glossy wonderful finish, everybody thinks I have fake nails on. It makes them look incredibly nice and feel incredibly strong.
This is my HG nail product. I cannot imagine how I have gotten by without this so far.

Neutrogena Oil Free Acne Wash
This is a decent cleanser. I often go back to it when my skin starts to act up. While it is rough and manages to dry out my skin, it helps me keep breakouts at bay and exfioliates (harshly). It's not a product I love but I like it and appreciate... +
This is a decent cleanser. I often go back to it when my skin starts to act up. While it is rough and manages to dry out my skin, it helps me keep breakouts at bay and exfioliates (harshly). It's not a product I love but I like it and appreciate it, it came in handy a few times. I do not use this on a regular base as I find the more I use it the less effective it is for my skin, and I also find it very very harsh for a daily wash, and I do not have sensitive skin. -

not only the store is amazing, offering a great variety of brands but the service, at least at my local sephora (montreal Point Claire) is phenomenal! The girls are helpful, eager to assist me, never pressure me into a sell... and I have never had a problem returning stuff or feeling guilty if after browsing I didn't pick anything up. Its a true pleasure visiting that store. -
Boots No7 Lifting & Firming Foundation
This is one of the few foundations that broke me out, and very few things do that to me. It was so, so dissapointing, because the actual product and finish are quite decent.

I didn't love this foundation.
Its a pretty good product, it delivers medium coverage, smells okay, texture is liquid and it's a mess to apply. I tried every possible application technique and I always ended up streaks. The finish is okay, natural looking, but it doesnt last. Even when set with powder, used with a primer under, or set with a fixing spray, the foundation would crease and melt on me within hours. Disappointing.

This is what I call a hard core foundation. This product is great for those of you looking for full coverage, and a product that doesnt budge all day long. It feels surprisingly natural on the face, with practice you can achieve a natural looking result and it didn't break me out. On bad skin days, this stuff is my hero. -

I was so exicted to try out BB creams when I found a store in Montreal that carries everything. While some dissapointed me, Missha BB creams seem to work find. This one in particular gave me great great coverage, it went on smoothly, blended to perfection and left my skin and face looking doll-like. Flawless. I did find it cakey, it felt heavy on my skin and their darkest shade still made me look like a ghost. The range of colors is very limited and the colours they have are very very unnatural looking, and I am a NC20, which is pretty fair.
But, if the colour is to your liking and you want coverage and flawless skin, then definitely give it a try

This is an okay foundation but not worth the money IMHO.
I found the formula too sheer, and believe it or not, had a weird powdery finish on me. It felt drying and the formula simply didn't last thru the entire day as I needed it to. Quite a disappointment, considering the price. It was difficult to work with, it streaked during application and although the formula is indeed sheer, I had no glow.
Overall a mediocre product; I could have made it work for me but not at that price.

Its an okay product. I find the spray a bit too "strong", leaving to much product in one place and making it difficult to really distribute it uniformly. I also find it doesn't brush out as nicely as I need it to, sometimes little white powder residue can be seen here and there. But it does the job, it makes my hair look less... greasy. Its good for busy days ut doesnt replace shampoo, I love the clean feeling. -
