NYX Lip Lingerie
I am so in love with NYX's lip lingerie! They're matte, longwearing and smell so good! I like that they're nude and slightly muted in pigment compared to the liquid suede line (I'm a huge fan of those too!) they're also incredibly affordable.

Out of the three Pure Leaf teas I sampled, this was by far my favourite! It has a wonderful berry flavour that is very noticeable without overshadowing the black tea taste. It isn't bitter at all, and in my opinion, tastes perfect brewed strong and black (no need for sugar with a flavour this good!)

I love the fact that I can see whole ingredients in Pure Leaf tea bags. When it comes to specialty flavours such as Chai, I want to see those delicious spices! Aside from the general aesthetic of both the packaging and the pyramid bags, the flavour is spot on! I've been drinking this tea black but I can't wait to try it in latte form. I highly recommend you try this tea if you're a fan of Chai.

Pure Leaf Black Tea with Vanilla, pyramid bags

When it comes to tea, I like it strong and flavourful. I find that with many traditional tea bags I have to leave the bag in until the tea is cold and then reheat it to get that strong flavour I crave. With Pure Leaf tea I don't have to do that! Within a minute or two (long enough for the water to cool down enough to safely drink it) I have a hot and perfectly steeped cup of tea to drink. The vanilla flavour of this tea is pronounced enough to taste it without being overpowering and it doesn't mask the wonderful black tea taste that I love.

I received this foundation in the shade 410 Bisque W as a contour shade courtesy of Chick Advisor's Product Review Club.
This was my first time using a stick foundation and I can't believe how easy it was to use. I applied the stick to the hollows of my cheeks, my jawline and on my forehead just under my hairline after applying my foundation. I used an oval brush to blend it out (upwards on my cheeks, side to side on my forehead and downwards on my jawline) and then set it with a translucent powder. Unlike traditional powder, this was a dream to blend.
The formula is very creamy and pigmented which makes blending incredibly easy. A little goes a long way and I found the best method to use this as a contour is to use the edge of the stick. Not only does this method allow for precise lines, it ensures that you don't apply too much product.
The finish is matte but not flat and feels similar to a powder. I have gotten a solid 8hrs out of this foundation and I didn't experience any oxidation.
Although the price may seem steep, the pigmentaion and creaminess mean that you don't need to add heavy layers to achieve a lot of coverage. I highly recommend this foundation!

I've been using the regular Dove dry shampoo for a while now and as someone with fine hair, I jumped at the chance to try this one for volume!
I found that this one does give a boost of volume whereas the regular version doesn't. Unfortunately it doesn't last very long, especially if your hair is on the second or third day after washing. As far as removing excess oil, it does the job and it does it well. My hair still looks great at the end of the day.
The scent is mild and pleasant. I personally love this about Dove dry shampoos. It does leave a white cast but that can be reduced by spraying further away from your head and brushing well after using.
This dry shampoo works wonders and is very reasonably priced. I highly recommend it!

Laura Mercier Translucent Loose Setting Powder

This is my holy grail setting powder! It's truly translucent and locks my foundation and concealer in place for the whole day. It leaves a smooth, matte finish and doesn't look flat or cakey. A little goes a long way and a jar will last forever. Unlike a lot of other high end setting powders, this one doesn't feel like corn starch on your face. The price may seem high but it is worth every penny. I can't recommend this powder enough! -

I really wanted to love this eye cream and I did, until it caused me to have an eczema flare up. I know retinol can be harsh so I started using this once daily and tried to gradually build a tolerance to it. After a few weeks I bumped my applications up to twice daily and within 2 days the skin under my eyes got itchy and sore. Then my eczema flared up. I tried to cut it down to every other day but my skin wouldn't clear up. I had to stop using it. I passed it on to my Mom and she loves it. She hasn't suffered any reaction to it and her eye area is looking much brighter and her fine lines are far less noticeable. I think this is a great product, but it's just too strong for me. -

I have tried many self tanners for my face and none seem to work. Either they break me out or they simply do not work. I decided to try this after hearing so many great things about it. I like the fact that you can add it to whatever moisturizer/facial cream you use and that it's buildable. I noticed a slight deepening of my skin after the first use and within a day that colour developed into a nice healthy glow. Unfortunately I didn't find it to be long lasting. If I skipped a day my glow would fade very quickly. I also found that if I used my Clarisonic it would fade that much faster. I will finish the bottle but I'm not sure if it's worth repurchasing or not. -
