I received this for free as part of the Product Review Club. I really wanted to love this product, as I'd been looking for a cheaper alternative to the BareMinerals mineral foundation. Unfortunately, this powder foundation doesn't quite measure up. It does provide decent coverage, however, it makes my skin look very cakey, and it's obvious that I'm wearing makeup. It's also fairly messy, as the powder gets everywhere. -

I received this product for free to test as part of the product review club. Unfortunately, the colour just isn't for me. It's much too bright and flashy than what I would normally wear. That being said, the lacquer is super pigmented, very glossy and hydrating without being sticky, and the packaging is very cute, which are pluses. And at first, I thought the smell was nice (kind of like watermelon bubblegum). However, after a short while, the smell became too much and a little nauseating. The product also tastes like soap. Application was a little messy, too, as the product is a bit runny and smudges easily. I could see this being a fun gloss to play with as a child/preteen, but as a grown woman, I expect more from a lip colour. -

Unfortunately, when I removed the lid from the packaging, the product was broken and fell out. Luckily, I was able to place the blush stick back in the applicator and still use the product. I absolutely love the colour (002). It's a very pretty, light dusty rose, I would say. It applies smoothly onto my skin and blends in evenly. The blush isn't super pigmented, but I actually that about it - it just gives cheeks a natural, subtle glow. I only wish the packaging was better quality compared to other GOSH products. -

I received this product for free to test out. This mascara provides decent volume to lashes, but more than anything I was pleasantly surprised at just how much length it gives lashes! In fact, it works better than some higher end mascaras (e.g. Benefit's BadGal Lash). The only downside to this product is that the long, double-ended package design makes it a little awkward to apply, and the product has a weird smell. Nevertheless, this is still a good, lower cost option to give lashes that falsie effect. -
Benefit Cosmetics Hoola Matte Bronzer
This is my favourite bronzer! I have very pale skin, but it is not too dark for me. I like the fact that it is a matte bronzer and I can use this for everyday subtle contouring. The only thing I dislike about this product is the price ($36 in... +
This is my favourite bronzer! I have very pale skin, but it is not too dark for me. I like the fact that it is a matte bronzer and I can use this for everyday subtle contouring. The only thing I dislike about this product is the price ($36 in Canada). -

I have a love/hate relationship with this brand of nail polish. On one hand, I absolutely love their colour selection. So pretty! On the other hand, a lot of the polishes are quite difficult to apply and require many coats, sometimes more than 3. A top coat is a must with these polishes or they will chip after a day or two. The prices really varies, as well, depending where you buy them. I only purchase these when they're on sale. -
Benefit Cosmetics They're Real! Mascara
This is my HG mascara! It gives my lashes a dramatic, full-volume effect while adding length. I've actually been asked if I was wearing false lashes while wearing this mascara. It is pricey, but worth it. It is much better than Benefit's other... +
This is my HG mascara! It gives my lashes a dramatic, full-volume effect while adding length. I've actually been asked if I was wearing false lashes while wearing this mascara. It is pricey, but worth it. It is much better than Benefit's other mascara, BadGal Lash. -
Dove Original Clean Invisible Solid Antiperspirant
As an anti-antiperspirant, it just isn't effective. Plain and simple.

I love most of Benefit's other products, so I very disappointed when I bought this mascara. For the price, it just isn't worth it. The results are underwhelming and you can buy a drugstore brand mascara that is more effective for a small fraction of the price. I recommend Benefit's other mascara - They're Real! It is far superior. -
