I LOVE CoverGirl Natureluxe Gloss Balm!! Love!!
I keep one in my purse at all times :)
It's such a nice, light lip balm with just a hint of colour!
I wear it as a nice tinted substitute to lipstick. It looks so natural!
It also feels great on my lips because it's extremely moisturizing.
It comes in many great shades and even has an SPF which is a major bonus!
I'm banning lipstick for the summer and sticking with this balm :)

I find it hard to recommend Crest Whitestrips even though they do work.
The comfort factor is what turns me off from these.
I hated the feeling of the strips on my teeth and the sensitivity that they caused me was unbearable.
So, yes they do whiten your teeth. But for me, it's not worth the pain.
And it's not just pain while you're using them, I found my teeth extremely sensitive for quite sometime even after I stopped using them.

Voluminous False Fiber Lashes worked great for me.
It didn’t really give me the look of ‘false lashes’ but it definitely did make my lashes look longer and fuller.
So no false lashes, but still a great mascara.
When I first opened the mascara I was surprised to find that the brush was so small.
In my experience when a mascara claims it will make you look like you have false lashes, the brushes tend to be very large.
But for a small brush, this mascara did wonders!
And I have to admit that the smaller brush was a bit easier to use than the big brushes that I’m used to.
It made it much easier to reach and cover every lash.
Ultimately I think this is a really good mascara and would recommend it for any lady on a budget.
I got mine at Shoppers Drug Mart on sale for $6.99.

How to Raise the Perfect Dog - by Cesar Millan

This book is an absolute must if you're thinking about getting a puppy in the future!
I recommend reading this before you ever adopt one so that you'll be prepared.
It's meant for puppy owners, not adult dogs although some of the techniques and guidelines it gives would help with any dog owner.
It's not a book that focuses on teaching your dog tricks. It's about understanding your puppy. And how once you understand your puppy, you will be able to train him/her with ease.
It's based on Cesar's own detailed experiences raising individual puppies from various breeds. And is written in a very friendly, accessible style. It's like having the Dog Whisperer right beside you helping you and your dog from the first day of your life together.
How to Raise the Perfect Dog answers all the most commonly asked questions such as what you should expect, tips on quick and easy house-training, proper nutrition for your dog, details on vaccinating, teaching your puppy boundaries, how to avoid mistakes, and teaching calm-assertive leadership.
It's important that we take ownership and teach ourselves about dog care before we blame them when they make mistakes. We're the pack-leader, so take charge and be the pack-leader! :)
It also helps you pick the perfect breed for YOU. This is so important. Don't just get a puppy because he's cute. It's important that you and your dog are a good match!
This book helps you begin a loving and satisfying life-long relationship with your pup ;)
It sure helped me in training my shih tzu. We have a great relationship and he is most definitely the 'perfect dog' in my eyes :)
Thanks Cesar! :)

I'll admit that when I first bought this shampoo for my dog my purchase was mostly based on the fact that it was called “Fears for Tears”.
The play on words just cracked me up.
But I’m so glad I bought it!
Originally I had always used baby shampoo on my tiny shih tzu who HATES baths. He squirms a lot and shampoo tends to end up in his eyes, so baby shampoo was the only thing I trusted.
But I must admit that I’m extremely glad that I was sucked in by the clever marketing of Pet Head’s Fears for Tears.
Firstly, let me say that this product smells AMAZING!!
The scent is ‘Green Apple Kiwi’ and definitely smells better than any shampoo I’ve ever smelled before. ANY shampoo. I’m talking even shampoo for humans.
In addition to smelling absolutely amazing, this product is great at removing dirt from my dog’s thick, long fur.
It works much better than the baby shampoo at this. But I guess that’s because baby’s aren’t exactly rolling around in the mud very often :P
And as it claims, it is tear free! So I definitely recommend you try this product if your dog makes bath times difficult.
Or even if you just want to give your pup that extra bit of comfort.
Great product!

I complimented my cousin on how voluminous her hair looked one day and she told me that it was Got2B Fat-tastic Collagen Thickening Mousse, so I just had to go grab my own can!
I have long, thin, straight hair so having volume in my hair has always been a problem for me.
I had tried Mousse in the past but always found that it made my hair stiff and weighed down. Not to mention the strong scents that a lot of them had.
I had a very pleasant experience, however, with Got2B Fat-tastic Collagen Thickening Mousse.
I don't use it every day, just when I blow dry.
I find that it's an AMAZING product especially for the low price of around $6.
It gives my hair a lot of body and makes it look amazing!
I put it in my hair after I towel dry. Just two or three pumps is more than enough for my long locks!
Then I flip my head upside down and blow dry while brushing it.
It makes my hair look amazing and full! And no stiffness!!
If you have limp, lifeless hair and want some volume on a budget, then this is the product for you! :)

An amazing product for people with oily and/or acne prone skin!
I was recommended this product when my skin began to get rather dry last summer and I was worried that my Vichy Normaderm was drying out my skin.
It turns out that it was just a combination of everything, but even still, I'm glad it happened so that I could find out about Effaclar!
This was a great alternative as it cleanses and soothes oily skin that has been weakened by drying skin care products.
I now alternate it with my Normaderm on days when my skin feels a little bit dry.
I also keep a can of it in my shower because it makes a great face wash for the shower :)
You just shake it up, press the nozzle and a rich foam comes out. No need to lather! Just gently rub it in a circular motion on your face and then rinse it off :)
It has an ultra-soft texture and cleanses the skin without any aggravation.
It leaves your skin feeling fresh, radiant, and comfortable :)
I love this product so much that I might have continued to use it exclusively, but It runs out a lot faster than the Vichy, so that's why I choose to rotate.

I'll admit that I had NO idea how these worked until I read the previous comment :P
I picked up a box as my allergies have been acting up lately and i've been blowing my nose a lot.
They really do work!
They feel super soft and refreshing on your face!
I took a tissue and just held it to my cheek in amazement. :P
I think i'm going to keep a box of these in the car for hot days in the summer!
They are a bit pricey, but if you're someone who blows your nose frequently or if you just need that extra bit of comfort, they are worth it :)

This cream may be pricey for a small tube, but it's more than worth it!
And if you're like me, when you get a cold sore you'll pay ANYTHING to get it to go away! :P
Unfortunately, I get a few cold sores a year usually around flu season.
Because of this I keep Abreeva around at all times.
That way if I wake up in the middle of the night with that devastating tingling feeling on my lips, I can run and grab my Abreeva and put it on right away!
And that's really the key with Abreeva, to get it on your cold sore ASAP!
And if you do, you might even be able to prevent the cold sore from developing!
I love this product.
I've tried pretty much every cold sore remedy out there and if you're not able to get a prescription cream, then this is the next best thing!

Ombrelle is a great product! :)
My mother actually recommended this to me because she knows how concerned I am about sun protection and how fussy I am when it comes to sunscreens :P
She was right about this one! I love Ombrelle!
It says it's great for both your body and your face, but I have to admit I haven't used it on my face. But it's the only thing that I use on my body :)
It's very moisturizing and at the same time it's not greasy at all!
It goes on smooth and absorbs quickly leaving your skin feeling clean!
It's not greasy or sticky like a lot of sunscreens.
And it' doesn't have a strong scent either!
My boyfriend usually refuses to wear sunscreen because he doesn't like the scent or the feel of it. But even he likes Ombrelle which is a really good sign! :)
Love this product :)
