TRESemmé® Smooth & Silky Touchable Softness Conditioner
Overall this is a good product. Seemed to add some shine and moisture, no complaints. Very low price is a major plus. It is better than most products that are available in this price range.

TRESemmé® Youth Boost Recharges Conditioner
Not a good product. Not much else to say. I literally didn't see a difference in my hair except for maybe a little bit of added frizz. Do not recommend at all, sorry :(

Nexxus® Hydra Light Shampoo
Great product for people with virgin hair. I have heavily processed hair and this made a slight difference, but I imagine this would work wonders for someone with less processed or even virgin hair.

I tried this conditioner a few months back and it made my hair feel soo soft and shiny. my hair felt extremely hydrated after this and it made heat styling look much nicer (not as dry and damaged after).
The product gives great results but there is probably conditioners that do the same thing at a cheaper price.

Nexxus® Oil Infinite Shampoo
This shampoo made my hair feel absolutely beautiful. I felt like a Victorias Secret Angel after I used it! I have no complaints about it at all except for the price. So if you have the extra money, spoil your hair a little.

CoverGirl Ready, Set GORGEOUS Powder Foundation

This is what I use on my face everyday. I have sensitive, acne-prone, combo skin with a severely oily t-zone.
This is great for days that you don't feel like wearing makeup and doing up your whole face but you want something to even out your skin a bit. It doesn't cover all your marks so you still have to use concealer if you want to hide those, this just kind of tones them down. I find that this does cover m redness/uneven skin tone however some other reviews people say that it hasn't done that for them.
This has great coverage for a drugstore powder foundation and at a great price. I used to use Cover FX pressed mineral foundation but its quite pricey for everyday use. This pretty much replaces that product for a much cheaper price.
This also works well to set foundation on my full-faced days and the packaging is super convenient to throw in my backpack or purse to touch up throughout the day when needed.
I've went through 4 of these so far.

Too Faced The Power of Makeup by NIKKIETUTORIALS

So let me clear this up from the start. This is NOT just a palette, it is a set. The set comes with a deluxe size of Better Than Sex in purple, deluxe glitter, deluxe shadow insurance primer, a FULL-SIZE sketch marker (eyeliner pen) and of course the palette which contains 9 eye-shadows, 2 blushes, a bronzer and a highlighter.
I picked this up from Sephora in Toronto during NikkieTutorials meet and greet, it came to $76(taxes included).
I have so far done 4 different looks with this palette that I have fallen in love with (2 glamour looks and 2 everyday looks). It has a nice balance of matte shades, shimmer shades, nudes and bright colors.
The eyeliner is beautiful-goes on easy and is very black.
The glitter is very small but you don't use much so it will last a long time. It has gold and silver so it is very versatile but doesn't look tacky like most glitters Ive come by.
The mascara is just as good as the black BTSM but I won't get much use out of it since it's purple.
The eyeshadow primer works wonderfully, I can see a difference when I wear it.
The blushes are both beautiful on their own or blended together for a custom color.
The bronzer is a great color for fair-light skinned girls (which makes sense since Nikkie is almost paper white) and I actually use it as a transition shade on my lids very often (very versatile!)
The highlighter is very pretty and i use it only on my chin and foreheard. I love my ABH highlighters but they have a pearl finish so when my skin gets oily it makes it look worse, so I use the highlighter from this palette on my forehead and chin to avoid that.
This set is 100% worth your money and you can get coutnless looks out of it. Also you get the awesome chocolate scent thanks to the TF cocoa bronzer.

So many girls were raving over TF BTSM and I finally decided to pick up a travel size to try.
This is a very black mascara. Ive owned many mascaras buy they often ended up looking almost matte or dark grey rather than a true rich black. This is one of the things that really pulled me into this mascara.
This makes me look like I'm wearing fake lashes. By far the best mascara i have ever used (I currently have 24 in my drawer so that's pretty decent).
Here is why the product didn't get 5 stars for me (sadly). This mascara tends to smudge and end up under my lower lash line (even when i don't apply it to the lower lashes). Yet it is extremely hard to remove at the end of the day. I wouldn't mind if it was hard to remove if it didn't smudge, I just don't understand how both of those qualities go together.
I don't recommend using this formula on your lower lashes, i tried and had bad results. Maybe the BTSM Waterproof fixes this problem. I will be trying that at a later date and will leave a review for that as well.
TL;DR- amazing for upper lashes. no-no on the lower lashes.

I never bothered using highlighters. I didn't buy into the whole highlight and contour trend until maybe 4 months ago.
I heard so many good things about the ABH Glow Kit and I had some extra money left over and decided to splurge (This was a lot of money for me compared to what I used to spend when it came to my makeup). I am so happy I managed to get my hands on this kit and it was worth every penny.
This comes with 4 colors of highlighter, one is a bronze-ish color, a gold, a pink and a straight up white pearl finish highlighter. Id say Gleam is more so for girls who are pale-medium skin. The bronze and gold highlighters are amazing for the summer or if you want a bronzed goddess look where as the pink is good for an everyday healthy glow if you choose to skip out on blush. The white highlighter is my go-to, I use it EVERYDAY. No lie, EVERYDAY. Even if I'm not wearing makeup i use it because it gives me a very healthy glow.
The trick to this product is that it is very pigmented and buildable. Its really easy to use too much (although lets face it, a lot of us go overboard and look like a beautiful glazed doughnut). I use a fan brush and sweep it ever so gently across the highlighter and then apply it. Thats normally good for a nice healthy glow, but sometimes I do it once or twice more if I really want to blind people.
I have oily skin so I don't use this on my chin or forehead because the pearl finish will make me look super oily once my oil starts to break through. I'm hoping she will soon have a matte highlighter for us oily skinned girls.
If used the white highlighter everyday for for about 4 months and i haven't even made a dent in the product. This palette could easily last you a couple years. The pans can also come out and be replaced so that you don't have to buy a second palette or buy an individual and have to carry that and the palette around.
