I bought this foundation after watching a review on youtube (don't remember from whom thought). I bought the "150 buff chamois" colour and it cost about $22, which is still less than any high end brand. I like this foundation because it has an SPF of 6. The formula of this product provides a medium to heavy coverage, which is what I was looking for in a foundation at the time. It's a little bit hard to blend with fingertips or a sponge, so I would recommend stippling it on with a brush. Sometimes i even use this foundation as a concealer by just dapping it on a blemish. It lasts for a very long time! If you're looking for a high coverage, long-wearing drugstore foundation, then this is definitely one of the best you can buy -

This cuticle butter is a really nice product. It's meant to moisturize your dry, cracked cuticles. It has a really refreshing smell which is a pleasant surprise everytime I open the little tub the product comes in. It can be a bit messy, so whenever I use this product I make sure I won't be using my fingers a lot for a little while after. I don't think that this product does a better job than any high-moisture body lotion on my cuticles so I don't think it's worth the extra money to buy this if I already have a good body lotion at home. The butter takes a long time to absorb into my skin so it does take a long time for me to get back to my regular daily routines after using this product. I think a regular body or hand lotion, such as Lubriderm or Glysomed, would be equally effective as the Burt's Bees Lemon Cuticle Butter -

I recently purchased the Lubriderm 24h Moisture Body Lotion for sensitive skin. I initially bought it as a cream for a tattoo I just got. As a cream for my tattoo, it works great! As an overall body lotion, I love it! The formula isn't greasy at all, it absorbs quickly into my skins without an oily residue. The pump can be opened, and relocked which makes it great for traveling. Since it's fragrance free, there are no unpleasant smells from the lotion. I would definitely recommend this product as an overall body lotion. -

I bought this perfume in the summer and I absolutely adore its scent. I'm actually allergic to perfume, but I just can't resist wearing them. This is one of the only perfumes that I can actually wear without passing out from scent. It has a light, floral scent and is perfect for any occasion. It also lasts forever. Some of the clothes in my closet still smell like it from a week ago. Definitely worth buying. But I do recommend smelling it for yourself before you purchase it because everybody has different tastes when it comes to perfumes. I hope you enjoy it as much as I do if you do buy it :) -

The purpose of MoroccanOil is to strengthen and condition the hair post-shower. I purchased the Light treatment oil because I have very blonde, and very fine hair. I love this product! You only need to use a teeny-tiny amount to go a long way. It smells amazing, and my hair feels so nice after I use it - it's just like coming right out of the hair salon. People might feel that their hair would turn oily after using this product, since it is an oil, but I assure you it won't. Once massaged into the hair, the MoroccanOil transforms into an almost powdery substance which works itself right into you hair. The price is rather steep, at $40 per 100mL bottle...but chances are, you will only need to buy 1 bottle for a whole year, or maybe longer. The price is the only downside to this product. -

I've been using different brands of eye makeup removers for years without finding a favourite. I recently bought Clinique's Take the Day Off Eye Makeup Remover and I love it! With one swipe, ALL of my makeup is gone - waterproof mascara, eyeshadows, impossible-to-get-off liquid liner....it's awesome! The only downside to this product is that it has a oily residue. I just use a dry cotton pad to remove the excess oil from my eyes. I think the next time I need to buy eye makeup remover, I'm going to try the Clinique eye makeup remover in the blue bottle...and compare.
Pros: literally takes off every single shred of eye makeup
Con: Oily residue...easily removed

I bought this product because I read in Allure magazine that it was the best eye makeup remover. The first few times I used it, I though it was just "average". What I expect from an eye makeup remover is that it eliminates all of my mascara and eye shadow and whatnot is one swipe. This was not the case with this product. I also found that the individual cotton pads stuck together and I ended up using 3 at a time because I just couldn't pry them apart. Towards the end of the jar, the pads took on a yellow-ish tint. When i finally got to the end, I realized that RUST from the metal container was starting to react with the eye makeup remover formula. SO DISGUSTING! Never buy this product. I'm surprised that I can still see after using rust-infused eye makeup remover pads on them. So bad... -

Everyone tells me how great this product is, but honestly, i just found it to be ok.
The price was right - it was only about $8 at Shopper's Drug Mart
It had an awkward smell to it which was unpleasant and turned me off to using the product
The found that it clumped, especially towards my inner lashes. Only a few times have i been moderately satisfied with the way my lashes turned out while using this product.
Overall, i wouldn't reccommend this product. I much prefer Covergirl's Lash Blast

I LOVE this foundation! I'm always on the lookout for a great, and inexpensive foundation. I just don't see the point in spending $40 on a single makeup product. I bought Revlong PhotoReady foundation at Shopper's Drug Mart for $14 (plus tax). In a foundation, I look for coverage, wearability, variety in skin tone colours, and how easy it is to put on. I was extremely happy the first time I used this foundation. I found the coverage to be very thorogh, although some spots I needed to go over in a concealer which is really no different from any other foundation brand I have used. The makeup lasted all day; from 8am to 10pm. I managed to find the exact colour to match my skin tone, which is no easy task with other foundation brands. The distribution of the product over my face and neck was very smooth and even. I use a foundation brush to apply my makeup and the process was very easy. It covers all of the imperfections on my face and makes my pores look practically non-existant.
All in all, this is a great product and I will for sure be buying it again.
