I received this in an Ipsy bag so my review might be influenced by the colour they sent which is a soft pink I would never choose on my own. The product is OK, a bit thick for my liking and doesn't really stain the way I have had other products stain. I don't know if these retail in Canada but seem to be reasonably priced in the US, around $5. If this was something available locally (the website doesn't say one way or the other.) -

Bought this when the dry shampoo showed up on the market and was buzzing. Made my hair look greasier than it was, I think the 'shine' portion. Also didn't get rid of bed head, which I'm discovering is the thing that i want and dry shampoo can't accommodate, and with chin length hair, I can't put it up. -

I have chin length hair that does weird things in the night that cannot be combed out, and because I use product is generally oily by the morning. I tried this recently and found that while it took out the oil, temporarily, you needed a lot of product (I had a sample size and used almost all of it in one go), makes a mess of the bathroom and didn't really get the bedhead out of my hair and since putting it up isn't an option this isn't really a solution for anyone with shorter hair. No idea of the cost because I received as a sample, but I have to say this one isn't a winner for me. -

I think I just have to admit I don't like face wipes but was away and couldn't get to a sink so I brought these. In the end there's nothing that replaces splashing your face with water. These work fine, no idea if they take off make up as I wasn't wearing any. Strong cucumber smell. -

I don't find these make any difference to how your foot feels after wearing heels, but I do find that they help your foot from sliding forward in shoes, particularly strappy ones. I have a couple pairs of platform sandals with a slight heel and my foot slides around causing blisters and these help. Nice of them to make them in (Caucasian) flesh tone so they are inconspicuous. they might also come in black. -

I've tried a few of these 'water' remover's, and received this one in gift packages a couple of times. I generally only use this when I haven't put on make up and this particular brand always seems to leave dirt on the cotton pad. It's a decent product, doesn't seem to cause any issues with flair up or around the eyes. Will consider a purchase if the price is inline with other similar products. -
Pacifica Eye Shadow
I've received two of these in very similar gold shades from Ipsy. While the idea of the vegan/natural stuff is interesting to me it is not paramount. The shades I have tried are OK, but nothing exemplary.

Although I'm on a hunt to try and replace the great but expensive Urban Decay product, I'm finding a few decent but not great product. This does seem to make shadow a bit brighter, but that might be it's sole merit. While my shadow did stay on a bit longer, I'm still creasing after a few short hours. -
Rimmel London Colour Rush Intense Colour Balm
In general I like these so-called "Lippies" and I find that the lower end ones are just as good as the midlevel ones. I haven't tried something like a Clinique yet, so we're in Revlon, Rimmel, NYColours territory here. These were on sale today so... +
In general I like these so-called "Lippies" and I find that the lower end ones are just as good as the midlevel ones. I haven't tried something like a Clinique yet, so we're in Revlon, Rimmel, NYColours territory here. These were on sale today so for $5 I thought I'd try one. The colour is bright, there's a lipstaining effect that stayed through a snack and no minty effect that makes your lips tingle. -

I really want to like this line, but I've yet to find a great product. In the same breathe, I am not certain this product is still offered in Canada, as I purchased it at a HomeSense. I find Shoppers fluctuates the line a lot so it's different each time I go shopping. As a hand cream it's fine. It smells a bit strong, apparently of pistachios and almonds. It's better than many lotions I've tried and it does seem to dry up/soak in quickly. Not certain i'd pay Shoppers prices for it, but might pick it up again if found at HomeSense/Winners/Marshalls. -
