I likely would have never chosen this product for myself, but I actually have enjoyed the look it gives to brows. I was sent the clear version, so I apply it with my brow pencil / powder of choice. I like that it it’s too much, meaning you can create a more natural looking, yet sculpted brow pretty easily. -

While I do tend to stick with waterproof formulas (I need the extra curling power) I was pretty excited to give this one a go. Considering how many people love it, I had never tried it. I have been quite impressed with how well this wears (no smudging or flaking) and gives nice length to my average lashes. I would like more hold in the curl department, but that can be remedied by opting for the waterproof version next time. -

I typically only look of mattifying products in the warmer months when makeup meltdowns are possible as I have drier skin and opt for more dewy or natural finishes. That said, if I’m looking for a matte finish this spray is a great option. I like that it does give a matte finish, but doesn’t leave my skin feeling parched. The mister is also a plus, as it is fine enough to not leave you feeling drenched, and creates an even most over the face -

I must admit, I’ve already tested this formula and know how great it is. Most drugstore liquid lipsticks are… Let’s just say not so great. This formula not only wears beautifully without being overly drying, but also comes in a bunch of gorgeous shades. I really like the neutral pink shade I was sent and will wear it often. -

As a butter person, I really didn't think that this margarine could really be as good as butter for every purpose, but after trying it (a lot!) it really does seem to be just a good as butter. I've baked with it, used it in pasta, and what might just be the ultimate tests fried eggs and grilled cheese. The verdict? Everything cooked perfectly and tasted just as it would with butter. I love that this is a bit healthier than butter, and that I can easily alter recipes to be vegan just by swapping this in. Definitely recommend!

English Breakfast is my number one tea love, so I am always trying new brands and stocking up. When shopping my usual brand, this was on sale (it is quite often on sale at Shoppers Drug Mart, btw) I decided to throw this in the cart too. It's a good tea, a nice flavour without being artificial tasting or bitter when you brew a strong cup. -

I picked this up on a whim while buying my usual tea, and am so glad that I took a chance on it. I often make my own concentrate from tea bags to make iced lattes with, but this concentrate means I can skip all the extra prep work. I keep the carton in the fridge so it's ready to go whenever I want. -

SPF is a daily must have, but finding the perfect formula can be tough. I love that this one is both a little bit higher than your average (at 30 SPF) and that it has a super light, fluid texture that feels great (aka weightless and colour-less) on skin. I found this formula also plays well with makeup, meaning it wears well under products without pilling or affecting wear.

I have drier / dehydrated skin and as such, am always looking for brightening products to diminish the look of dullness. I love that this works twofold to keep my skin hydrated and looking more radiant. The gel cream isn't overly heavy feeling, but I do find it gives my skin enough hydration to get through the day without feeling dry or tight. I don't love this for a night cream (I need something a bit heavier right now) but can see my skin really loving this in warmer weather.

I love serums in general, and having drier skin, I also gravitate toward anything that can give my skin some added radiance. This product is exactly that, and I found that it also seems to add some hydration as well. The cream texture feels great, and with continued use, does seem to be aiding in my overall brightened complexion (it's hard to determine which product is working best though, as I'm currently using the whole range.) Overall, I quite like this product, but it is not packaged well. The cream texture does not work with the pipette applicator, so you end up having to scoop the product off it. A pump-type bottle would have been much better suited.
