Two in one, ladies! This has the same coverage as the cream to powder foundation, and stays put all day. Makeup will go on brightly over this, so use just a little... primer is meant to hold everything in place and saturate your colour.
I love having a product that does it all, and this is it! No worries about the hold of the product clinging to your skin... it comes off easy with soap and water!

Mary Kay Crème-to-Powder Foundation in Ivory

High end, high end, high end!
This has a really creamy consistency, and dries to a powdery finish. You don't need a lot; just put it wherever you're shiny and need some coverage. It lasts a really long time (I used it every day and it lasted me many months!) so the price is worth it, and the coverage was fantastic. What dark circles? I didn't even need concealer! Any makeup I put on after the foundation seemed to glide right on. It didn't rub off or smear!

I liked this one better than the oil free foundation from the same line. It still seemed to cake on my skin, but not as much as the oil free foundation. I still couldn't find the right shade for me after all, so I mixed a light coloured one with a tinted moisturizer to make do.
I didn't see any improvement in my skin at all; I assumed that since it was called true radiance it would brighten my skin a little. I'm not sure if I expected too much of it, but the name led me to believe something that didn't happen should have.
If you can find your colour, go for it! You're probably only going to need a little, so this stuff will last you a while.

This was my most recent foundation. I've had the worst time trying to find a foundation that matches my skin tone... I thought this one would match since it seemed like it did in the store (I did test it on my jawline!), but once I walked outside I realized it did not match. At all. This line does not have much of a selection of colours, so I couldn't find my true match with this brand. Beware!
I found the foundation caked after several hours, but if I only had it on for four hours or less, it looked good and worked well. It washed off nice and easy and didn't dry out my skin. The coverage was good, but still wasn't the right consistency to prevent caking. So I ended up with an unshadowed, peachy cakey face. Not so hot!
I ended up using this foundation as undereye concealer after a while and powdered over it. Sometimes I'd even add a lighter foundation closer to my skin tone on top of that so everything looked even!
My suggestion is to try the tester, but actually go outside instead of using the store's artificial lights. That way you'll know right away if it matches so you don't waste your money!

Let me just start off my review of these strips by saying these are ones that will finally stay on my teeth! I've had problems with whitestrips before; something about them made them impossible to stay on my teeth. These ones have an advanced grip, and they stayed on my teeth for the full two hours - no adjusting!
I dislike the foaming and I always think I'm going to end up swallowing some of the peroxide, but I was brave enough to try swallowing (since having the strips in does create a lot of saliva) and didn't taste any of the gel. Bonus! I guess that's more proof the seal works!
My teeth are slightly whiter, but I may need to do another strip on my upper/lower in a few months to see how much whiter my teeth will get. I do still have some slight yellowing, but for two hours, that's pretty darn good! If I smile with my teeth clenched, you don't see any of the yellow. I guess that's the effect we're looking for. I'm happy with it! The only yellow I can see that might need more work is the yellowing close to my gumline. These strips are meant to sit right at your gumline which is where I had them. I won't say it did nothing to my gumline, because it did - it whitened it a little, but not to a true white. They're just lighter than they were before.
The packaging is a little big for what actually comes in the box, but there are two compartments so the instructions won't be lost within the strips. There are four treatments in one box, so you're good for a full year! You're meant to use these once every three months if you want, but no more than that. So far, my teeth are not sensitive. That's a good sign! If you already have sensitive teeth, be careful using peroxide... hot and cold may become painful for a few days. If your teeth are normal and non-sensitive like mine, I don't have a problem with sensitivity right now, so you probably won't either. The instructions are great and very easy to follow. They give you tips to put them on so that there's a better grip, and assistance for taking the strips off. When I took mine off, they were stuck on my teeth very well. I did have to tug a little, but they came out pretty easy.
In my pictures I posted for this review, you'd be able to tell which one's the before and which one's the after. You'll notice white spots on my teeth in the after photo; Crest says this is normal and it will go away within a few hours. So, don't worry!
Overall, this worked better than any other strip I've used and I'd definitely buy it again. The pack lasts me a year? Yes please!

Pros: The price was great! (only a few dollars for a pair)... And they had several colours to choose from. That's about it for me.
Cons: This con outweighed all the pros - the thong part of the sandal was made of plastic, and I couldn't wear it any longer than ten minutes without getting a massive blister in between my toes. I find cloth thongs are much better and don't rub like that... I love wearing flip flops, but these are not the ones for me.

This used to be my go-to mascara for the longest time, until I discovered waterproof! I'm not sure if this brand carries a waterproof version of this mascara, but it's worth it to go look. I get the length I want, and the volume/length is buildable (meaning you can put multiple layers of the mascara on to create more length and thicker volume).
The one I bought was in blue. This blue is almost a navy kind of colour, but a little bit lighter. My guy friends used to always tell me my eyes seemed more green when I wore it, but they couldn't figure out what made them seem so much more green! I think what this mascara does is, it brings out the whites of your eyes and makes them seem whiter, therefore contrasting with your eye colour more. My belief is that it will work to enhance any eye colour, which is great! The price was still expensive for my liking, but I'd totally buy it again. All you need is a little bit of water and a cloth to take it off at the end of the day, and you're set.

I really like this perfume! You honestly smell like you ARE a rose, which to me is a good thing! It's not overpowering at all and it's a really lovely floral/rose scent. It lasts all day and this is another one my boyfriend loves... I can see why! It's one of my favourites too.
I don't know if they sell this anywhere other than Yves Rocher, but you can try looking around for it! I think it was relatively cheap (maybe $30-40?) and it's lasted me more than a year.

Energize Body mist in tangerine blossom

This is a better body spray for me. It's a light, citrus scent with a little sweetness to it. It's obviously not very strong because it's a body mist, but I do think there's a perfume or 'eau de toilette' in the same scent which will be stronger than this. It's a nice refresher, but I don't see it around too often anymore... it must not be the "it product" anymore. -
