This was recommended by a Sephora associate and I have to tell you I'm crushing on it. I have pale skin, dark hair and light eyes and this gives colour with a natural look. It's more purple/mauve than pink - almost like a dark rose. It's long lasting colour that survives drinks and food, however the downside is it dries within seconds of applying. I always carry a balm to keep lips moist because this lip stain is drying, not moisturizing. However I am very happy with it and will probably buy another colour in the line. OH it's extremely creamy and can end up all over your face if you use too much, so remember to wipe off the brush before pulling it out and applying. -

I love the Aveda experience and mint is very calming although I have to say I'm a bit disappointed with this product. It does smell like mint, but I expected it to be a bit stronger and have a more tingling feeling on my scalp. It does leave my hair soft, but it's almost like there is a coating of something on it and it's not a detangling conditioner which I usually like because I have long hair. It's doing the job, but I probably won't buy it again. -

This was my second time using eos and it was much better. This formula is more creamy and seems to last longer as a balm. The flavour isn't too intense, honestly I had to look up what it was however I do enjoy the round shape as oppose to the normal standard lip balm stick. If it's on sale I would buy it again. -

The dual brush on the GOSH Double Precision Mascara makes it super defining. Lashes are separated - definitely no clumping here. If you are looking for a volumizing mascara this may not be the one for you but if you are looking for length and definition it is a must have. The price is comparable to other mascaras out on the market. I would use it as a daily mascara for the office. -

I admit - I colour in my eyebrows every morning. I usually use a pencil so I was excited to see the difference with a gel but unfortunately it didn't convince me. The gel was a bit messy and after a week of using the product daily I found that it didn't last as long as my good old pencil.
If you are looking for a light tint then the GOSH Defining Brow Gel is a great option to give some definition to your brows. However if you want a dramatic brow it may not be the best option.
I like the fact that the colour and brush are combined in the defining brow gel because that's a two step process with a pencil. There are definitely benefits to using a brow gel over a pencil and I think it just depends what you're looking for.

I have actually never used a loose powder before and I have to say I am converted. The loose powder admittedly makes more of a mess in my bedroom than pressed powder but my face feels lighter and cleaner. It doesn't give as full coverage as a pressed powder but it does make my face look younger and less weighed down. To be honest my face looks almost airbrushed with the GOSH Mineral Powder - I am a huge fan.
I wouldn't carry a loose powder around in my bag for touchups during the day becuase it can get messy and there is the added need to carry around a brush. But to start off my day or get ready for a night out loose powder is the way to go. GOSH Mineral Powder is clean and light and I love how it makes my face appear baby soft - definitely a plus for us pale skin girls.

This lip lacquer is fantastic - there's really no other word to describe it. It's the perfect combination between a gorgeous lip colour and a moisturizing lip balm. We usually get great colour that dries out our lips or colourless moisturizer so it was nice to find a product that does both.
When I first saw the bottle Ithought "OH that's bright" but honestly when you put it on it just seemed to match perfectly with my brown hair and pale skin. Now I'm all about the bright colours thankss to GOSH.
If you are using this product for the first time keep in mind you don't need a lot. It's creamy so a little goes a very long way. I put it on befor leaving the house and even after eating breakfast I didn't need to reapply.
I usually use coloured lip gloss but it can get sticky. The GOSH lip lacquer is a great product that gives non sticky colour to your lips with the added benefit of a moisturizer. I'm definitely a fan. It's worth the price and I will definitely buy it again.

I originally only tried this moisturizer because I got a free sample and now I use it as my daily moisturizer. I have fair/oily skin in the summer and fair/dry skin in the winter. This is a moisturizer that I can use all year long. It doesn't leave my skin feeling oily or tight - it moisturizes without leaving my face shiny and greasy. I absolutely love it. The price is a bit expensive but it works wonders so it's worth it. The sizes are reasonable so it will last a good 4-5 months, depending on the size you buy. I don't mind spending a little extra money on my face as long as the product works wonders because it's the first thing people see, so I want it to be perfect and pretty. -

I am obsessed with margarita flavours right now and this shower gel didn't let me down. It's absolutely amazing as a body wash and bubble bath. It makes a ton of foam on my loofa which is super important because it makes my shower more fun and makes me feel like I getting a good clean. It's $21 at Sephora Canada and $16 at Sephora in the U.S. It seems like a lot for the price but you only need a little so it will last a long time. The sent is salty yet sweet and it definitely gives me a nice little kick to wake up in the morning. It's like bathing in a margarita. Love it. I will absolutely purchase it again when this one runs out...maybe in a couple months at Thanksgiving. -
Philadelphia Chocolate Cream Cheese
I have tried so many other chocolate spreads and all I have to say is Thank Goodness Philadelphia came out with this Chocolate Cream Cheese. I can eat it by the spoonful - and sometimes I do, even without the bagel.
