Well ladies, my search for the perfect mascara is over! I am the not-so-proud owner of some seriously stumpy lashes. I am always amazed by (and frankly jealous of) those girls who have lashes that rest on their cheeks when they close their eyes. What is it about long lashes? Why are they so magical looking?
Anyway, a few weeks ago I grabbed the new Benefit They're Real! Mascara on a whim at Shopper's Drug Mart. It was sitting in one of those displays by the cash register; you know, the ones designed to make you grab a bunch of impulse purchases. They always work on me.
I was cautiously excited about trying out my new mascara, afterall I've been dissapointed so many times. I whipped it out the very second I go home, and results! My lashes will never rest on my pillowy cheeks but with this mascara they look at least twice as long! I'm converted and I will be a loyal purchaser of this fantastic product for the rest of my life - and perhaps longer!
My verdict? Amazing - you should all run out and buy it immediately!

So, I've loved the Nars Orgasm shade for blush since the moment I discovered it. It's a perfect peachy-pink with just the right amount of golden shimmer. It's one of those products that I will use exclusively, and never deviate from.
I was intrigued when I heard about The Multiple - a cream blush stick that can be used on the lips, cheeks, and as eyeshadow! As I've mentioned before, I love a product that does more than just one thing! I'm all about five minute make-up and this product seemed to fit the bill!
I have to say that I adore The Multiple. I use it every as a blush, and quite often as an eyeshadow. I usually apply it with a cream blush brush, but you can also use a sponge or even your fingers! It's light, shimmery, and, because it's a cream formula, gives your cheeks a dewy glow. At $30-$40 dollars it's not a steal but I've been using the same one for nearly a year and it's not going to run out any time soon. Completely worth the steep price!

I'm not a fan of wearing a lot of heavy make-up, especially in the summer. I usually just go with a swipe of blush, mascara and a light lip gloss.
I tried Marcell's BB cream after it was recommended to me by a friend. I have to confess that I love it! It doubles as a moisturizer, and I love a double duty product! It provides even coverage and does a great job of evening out my skin tone. It feels lightweight on and it's not greasy.
I would definitely recommend this product. It's especially great for day when you don't want a lot of heavy make-up.
The price is a little steep but a little bit goes a long way so it lasts.

I was super excited about this mascara when I bought it but it was a huge dissapointment. I ended up throwing it out. It was clumpy, the brush is terrible and my eyelashes did not look any longer than normal.

I slathered Morrocan Oil all over my face. I left it on for half an hour and then rinsed with warm water.
It felt super greasy on, and it took a lot of self control not to rinse it off immediately. I also somehow managed to get it all over my glasses, what a disaster that was!
The result? I woke up this morning with nary a flake in sight, and dewy, soft skin! I highly recommend giving this a try if you’re finding yourself with over-dried skin. I love a good multipurpose product!
