This moisturizer smells lovely and is not over empowering. Kudos to the marketing team for coming up with a catchy name for this product. It was definitely a conservation starter when I had guests use my washroom. This moisturizer is hydrating, however I felt that I had to apply several layers on my face and neck to feel fully moisturized. Consequently, after using this for a month, I almost finished the bottle. Although this product is very affordable, I would be more inclined to pay a couple of more dollars for a moisturizer that would last me 2-3 months longer. The packaging of this moisturizer is very adorable and feminine but I do find that it is targeted towards a younger market. I like that it comes in a tube rather than a pot as it is more sanitary. The only change I would make would be to have a snap on cap to make it travel friendly. Finally, for a day moisturizer, consider having built in SPF in the cream. For this reason alone, I think that this would discourage consumers from purchasing this product. -

This mascara has a small wand and short bristles, making it easy to coat the lashes from top to bottom. It does not clump, separates and lengthens the lashes. It lasted me all day but most mascaras lasts all day for me anyway. Unfortunately it does not provide much volume and since the bristles are so short, it requires a lot of time to properly build up the lashes to the desired look. I recommend using this for the bottom lashes but for $30, there are many other options out there for a fraction of the price. -

This powder is a little pricey but a little goes a long way. I have been using this over the Dior Star liquid foundation and this powder gives the skin an airbrushed look. I have also noticed that my forehead and nose did not appear as oily. It is a great product to use when you know that you will be photographed. It is very light weight, smooth and helps keep your makeup intact. The only issue that I have with this product is that it can be quite messy as powder does go flying everywhere. Thankfully, because it is so translucent, clean up is a breeze and the powder does not stay on your shirt or hair. -

This product is good to use as a primer. The neutral shades can surely suit just about every skin tone. I like that it comes with a small sponge brush and can be applied easily. I did notice that this eyeshadow does not last long if it is used alone (approx. 2 hours). I also question the necessity in having SPF 15 on an eyeshadow when most moisturizers already have built in SPF protection. -

With 15 g of lip balm, you get a lot of bang for your buck. This can easily take over a year to finish. This lip balm reminds me of a small glue stick and the colour immediately caught my attention. Unfortunately, sometimes bigger doesn’t necessarily mean better. The enormous size of the lip balm made it awkward to apply to my lips. I often felt that I was over applying and spent more time wiping off the excess lip balm that ended up all around my mouth. I was also surprised to see that there was no SPF protection. While the lip balm smells very nice and is moisturizing, it also irritated my lips. Bottom Line, you are better off buying a lip balm from a drug store. -

This product is a limited edition for Sephora’s Christmas bath line collection. It has the signature Sephora bath bottle that is beautifully packaged. The Bath Party collection has a very festive packaging and would look beautiful in anyone’s washroom. This product is great because it can be used as a bubble bath or shower gel. When used as a bubble bath, it only takes a few squirts to produce enough bubbles to fully cover all of the water. When used as a shower gel, you get a foamy clean. The Bath Party collection is very fragrant which can be over empowering for some. It has a very feminine and floral fragrance. -

Unfortunately this product was a complete miss. It has a watery consistency which means that you need to apply more to fully cover the face. Moreover, it did not moisturize my face. In fact, my face became very dry and itchy. This product may be good for those with oily skin, but if you have dry skin like me, I would not recommended using it. -

This is very similar to the Biore Nose Strips, but more powerful. Selling for only $1 / Nose Strip, it is a great item to stock up on. I left this nose strip for 15 minutes and while it is very painful to remove, it extracted twice as much blackheads compared to any other competing brand. This nose strip is very sticky and left a lot of residue on my nose. Luckily, it is easily removable with warm water. It did not leave my nose red and I even noticed that my nose was smoother. A definite must buy! -

This hair mist helps keep your hair feeling and smelling fresh. It is lightweight, non sticky and smells very nice. It is best used on damp hair or to use anytime during the day when your hair needs to be refreshed. I also like that it is portable. Unfortunately, I did not notice any difference with added shine to my hair nor did it help soften my hair. While I do like the peach fragrance of the hair mist, it also smells like alcohol which may be the reason why I do not think this helped soften my hair. If we compare this to John Frieda’s Frizz Ease Daily Nourishment Leave-in Conditioner, I think that John Frieda is a much better buy for the price, size and multi-purpose functions. -

This leave-in conditioner is best used when your hair is damp. I particularly concentrate on the ends of my hair. It is lightweight, non-greasy and helps untangle hair. It also smells amazing. I sometimes even use this in between washes. Unless you use an enormous amount of this product, I did not notice that it helped control hair frizz. Regardless, because it is affordable and I do find that it helps nourish your hair, I would definitely purchase this product. -
