I was lucky enough to try this product for free from ChickAdvisor. I would have bought it myself anyways, and definitely will from now on. This little pack of rice is SO good! It was easy to make and super flavourful. I'm obsessed with garlic and rice, so it was a perfect little marriage of flavours in one easy to make pack. -

I was a bit skeptical on this product at first because I wasn't sure what it was exactly for. (To be honest, I feel that way with all La Roche-Posay items since they have smaller descriptions on products because of all the different languages). I read that it's used for dry and tired looking skin, so I treated this as a moisturizer. It honestly helped my skin so much! I had a break out a couple days ago, and when it healed, I was left with dry skin. I didn't want to pick it off and leave my skin with a red scar, but this product hydrated the area and left the breakout less noticeable.
I will definitely keep using this, and recommend others try it out!

I love doing my nails, so I take the effort into giving myself manicures and making sure I wear the proper base coat, top coat, and/or strengtheners if needed. I didn't think I would love Essie's Treat Love & Color Strengthener as much as I do. It gives me back a lot of my time because I can just apply this & go! The brush for this polish also helps apply it perfectly.
This is a definite MUST PURCHASE polish, as it's easy to apply and lasts a long time!

I was excited to try this product out since I dye my hair but often have my roots grow out and be very visible. I was hoping this product would cover it and make my roots less visible. It applies like spray paint and I found it very hard to not look patchy. The colour didn't match correctly, so it was very obvious that I had put something in my hair. I wouldn't recommend this product. -

This product is perfect for everyone, but perhaps better suited for females because of the floral scent. This laundry detergent leaves my clothes smelling fresh even after weeks have passed. It might not be great for people who are sensitive to scents. They're also very clean after each wash. I've used it to wash everything from pants, to sweaters, to my delicates. It was gentle yet very powerful! -

EOS lip balms have always been great. They hydrate my lips and are very handy to have for everyday use. I keep mine in my purse, and since it's so small it doesn't take up much room. Strawberry Sorbet isn't my first choice in scents since it's usually a very artificial scent. I find the scent with this one isn't the best, but the product itself is great so I continue to use it. I personally would purchase EOS Lip Balm, but maybe in another scent.

EOS lip balms have always been great. They hydrate my lips and are very handy to have for everyday use. I keep mine in my purse, and since it's so small it doesn't take up much room. Sweet Mint isn't too overpowering of a scent either, so I am happy to use it any time of the day. I'd definitely recommend this product, especially with this scent.

A great makeup sponge is necessary in my makeup routine. A makeup brush or silicone sponge will NOT do it for me when applying liquid foundation – it always turns out streaky or too heavy. I’ve been using the Beauty Blender for years because of how soft and bouncy it is, and how well my makeup looks. Harder sponges have always turned me off because they didn’t seem to blend out my makeup as well. This sponge has honestly made me realize what I’ve been missing.
EcoTools Perfecting Blender Duo includes two sponges – a larger sponge that is perfect for applying foundation all over your face, and a mini sponge for more precise and detailed coverage around your eyes and nose. Now, being a Beauty Blender lover, I was skeptical how these would work since they felt a lot more firm. I’m surprised to say, I might actually like these better than the Beauty Blender…!!!!
I use both of these sponges wet, to help blend out nicer (in my opinion). Both sponges have a rounded base for blending, a flat edge for covering larger areas, and a wedge-tip to help in hard to reach areas and for precise definition (think baking!). They are firmer than other sponges, but I’ve noticed they don’t soak up as much product and actually give off a better application. My skin still looks natural and the foundation doesn’t look caked on. I definitely recommend these makeup sponges, and I will definitely be purchasing these once they run it’s course.

As much as I love makeup, at the end of the day all I want to do is wash it off. A key step to removing my makeup is always a good cleanser, but they don’t work as well without cleansing brush. EcoTools Facial Cleansing Brush is a great addition to my skincare routine and really helps my skin get clean.
EcoTool’s Facial Cleansing Brush is designed with soft bristles for deep pore cleansing and gentle exfoliation. I did find the bristles to be super soft, but still able to cleanse and exfoliate my skin really well. The only thing I didn’t like about this brush was the handle; it’s very short and doesn’t seem useful as it’s not comfortable to hold. I held the parts around the actual brush instead of using the handle. After watching videos to see how to hold it, I still could not hold it comfortably like it’s intended to.
I find the brush very helpful and will continue to use it, but the overall design of the brush needs to be changed (in my opinion).

Once upon a time, doing my eyebrows weren’t even part of my makeup routine. NOW look at me; I do them every day! I never thought I needed to fill them in before, but now that I do them, I can’t stop… The one thing that I try to do is make them look natural. I don’t over fill them and only touch up the areas where my hair seems to grow in thin. Real Techniques makes it very simple and easy to fix up my brows, thanks to their Brow Set!
Real Techniques Brow Set comes two pairs of tweezers (an angled pair and a detailing pair), a brow spoolie, a slanted brush, and a smudge brush. All of these items are great quality and have all been very useful when doing my brows. I have to admit, I am not fond of the smudge brush, but mostly because I haven’t given it a real chance. I haven’t used one before so I technically don’t know how to properly use it.
I particularly like the pointed tweezers out of the whole kit. They work amazing and are even a favourite of mine over Tweezerman. I didn’t think I would like the spoolie since it’s short, but I found it work just as great and it’s better for brushing out the smaller areas of the brows. The kit itself is awesome and perfect for travelling! It’s even handy at home because it props up my brushes.
