I personally love Brick Rose and Deep Plum! With Brick Rose, I like to layer my blushes - Lately I've been using Brick Rose first, and then Deep Plum or Benefit Coralista on top.
If you're not concerned about the smell -albeit very subtle- of CoverGirl blushes, then I'd say that these are a must-try!!

I was lucky enough to receive this as part of Chick Advisor's Product Review Club offer (Thanks a bunch, Chick Advisor - you rock!).
Simply speaking, I like this product - not only is it aesthetically pleasing, with its slim and simple design, but it also works effectively.
With a manual toothbrush, I normally brush my (hopefully) pearly whites a bit too hard, and I am fully aware of it being a bad thing. However, since I switched to the Pulsonic, I have been able to get myself to ease off on the pressure applied to my teeth - one of many pros of using this product. I like that there are two brushing modes on the brush - normal and sensitive. I haven't really found too much use for the sensitive mode yet, but expect I will be using it on the days when I come back from the dentist with aching gums. It also comes with a precision brush, which I really like as well - helps with getting into the little crevices to obtain the ultimate clean.
I haven't noticed a significant difference in the whitening of my teeth as of now (I've been using the toothbrush for less than the 2 weeks that Oral-B says it will take for the difference to be apparent) but I sure feel that my teeth are cleaner - that's a start, of course!
Now, my only gripe about the toothbrush is the price - replacement brush heads are $20 , the last time I checked. However, because I am a firm believer in good oral hygiene and its links to overall good health, I *will* consider continuing to use this product, regardless of the cost. I would definitely recommend this product to others, especially if cost is not important in the purchaser's decision.

I have this in the Oil-Free version (with SPF, as the lady at Sephora told me), and I really love it!
It's light, and the coverage is exactly what I was looking for. I don't use this as a moisturizer, per se.. It serves the purpose of a light foundation for me.
The odd thing about this is that, whenever I use this, I get this strange, white film on my fingers -- I'm betting it's the SPF in this, but can't be sure. And if I'm right, no wonder they don't have the words SPF on the bottle; it doesn't even get on your skin! But no matter, just put on your regular sun protection moisturizer before hand, and you're good to go.
Oh, and I wish this were cheaper!!

I received a bottle thanks to Thierry Mugler and (the oh so fabulous) Chick Advisor. When I opened up that luscious satin pouch, I found a beautiful 10mL bottle of Womanity. Major props to the packaging design team over at Thierry Mugler; they really hit it! I even like how it's refillable, so when you run out, you can go ahead and refill the bottle so you can carry it in your purse! Love! Props to them again for making various sizes!
Anyway, onto the contents..
This perfume, to me, was very surprising. I normally go to floral-y scents that are rather quiet and tame. Womanity is definitely not quiet and tame.
I thought this perfume was very modern-smelling. Sweet and romantic, while a little bit edgy - and dare I say - salty? Not something I've ever smelled before.
All in all, I would say that I would love to own this perfume, and would not hesitate to recommend it to a friend.

I got this is the shade Slap Happy (Funny name, huh?)
Liking:
* The price! And even better, I got a coupon to use on Cover Girl cosmetics and got cents off this awesome lipgloss
* The shade: Okay, so my lips are super pigmented, and I have a love/hate relationship with them. This gloss slightly nudes them out, while evening out any unevenness in colour.
* The tingle: I looooveee the tingle. I might sound cheesy but it makes me smile! It feels fresh - no stinging or anything
Disliking:
None, really! Except if I were the boss of Cover Girl, I'd ditch the blue lid.
-- Oh I forgot to mention that this gloss doesn't last super long. Good thing it's a pleasure to reapply.

I love this! It's got a fresh scent that I think would be appropriate for all seasons.
The staying power is, surprisingly, not too bad (on me), considering how light of a scent it is.
It doesn't exactly smell like apples; more like a light fruit-floral, which I would think many women would be attracted to.
I find it slightly tricky to dispense this product, due to the shape of the body - but it's just a small con in a sea of pros. Plus, who could resist the cute bottle?

Glysomed Hand Cream
I love this! It feels great on and absorbs well. I've tried so many other hand creams and this one just takes the cake. If you happen to wash your hands, there's no gunky feeling - HOORAY! Finally, I think I've found my HG hand cream.

got2b Smooth Operator Smoothing Lustre Lotion
I bought this mostly for its heat protecting properties, as I wash and blow dry my long hair almost every night. It doesn't seem to weight hair down and keeps my hair looking/feeling healthy. AND it smells great! Will repurchase.

I bought this in the water resistant formula, and so far, I'm loving it!
First of all, its formula is thin, which I like. This holds the curl in my lashes and it doesn't feel like there's something weighing them down. I have stick straight lashes.
I noticed that it's got tiny little fibres in it for lengthening, but they don't really get into my lashes very well - maybe because of the brush. I didn't notice too much lengthening, but for the formula, I'm already sold!

I love this!
After trying it out for the first time, I went and bought two more bottles. Not only do these body washes smell great, but they also foam up very nicely! It's great how this body wash feels moisturizing. It's a staple for me during the cold months in Canada.
