I received this eau de parfum as a sample at Sephora. I was so excited to try it because of how luxurious the Tom Ford brand is, specifically the perfumes. I spritzed this as soon as I got it and absolutely loved it - it smells just like the beach, but not as sunscreen-like as Bobbi Brown - Beach. It smells like sun and sand with a mix of sunscreen and fresh, floral air. At first spritz it was strong but I noticed almost immediately after spritzing it on myself the scent was weaker and about an hour later, it was almost undetectable. I love to be able to smell my perfume throughout the day, so for me, this is not worth buying - especially at the crazily high price point (1.7 oz for $245)! -
BECCA Cosmetics Shimmering Skin Perfector Pressed Highlighter

I own two of these highlighters - Opal & Champagne Pop. There are six in the collection. They are pricey at $46 CAD but they really are worth it. A little goes a long way and I expect mine to last a long time!
Opal is probably their most popular (along with Moonstone) and is a creamy, shimmery, beautiful highlight. It compliments an array of skin tones and is easily buildable. It's a white-ish gold highlight.
Champagne Pop is a brand new, limited edition product that Becca released as a collaboration with Jaclyn Hill, a Youtube beauty guru. This shade is in between Moonstone and Opal and is a universally beautiful shade on all skin tones. It's a golden/peachy highlight. I love Becca highlighters, in my opinion they are the best on the market and the only ones I will purchase! If you're looking for beautiful, glowy, dewy looking skin, pick one of these up and you won't be disappointed!

Unfortunately they do not carry this body wash in Canada anymore so I will make sure to stock up whenever I visit the US. I originally purchased this for my boyfriend who ended up hating it because of the tingly/cooling feeling, however, I loved it. It's refreshing in the summer and comforting in the winter. I only use it on occasion, when I am feeling like I could use a little extra pampering as the mint is calming and relaxing. Will repurchase :) -

I purchased several of these when they went on sale at Bath & Body Works and have fallen in love with them! I'm a sucker for anything rose or coconut scented so I had to have this. It smells nice and is super hydrating on the lips, especially in the winter and right before bed. It can be used on other dry areas of the body including the elbows and knees, but I only use it on my lips. Will continue to repurchase this! -

I purchased this item from a sale on Beyond The Rack because I had heard it mentioned by one of my favourite Youtubers. I purchased it for half price at $10 which, for the size of the bottle, I thought to be a great deal. The smell is my favourite part about the product - Michael Todd products are highly fragrant and remind me of the smell of incense - it's very herbally. It makes my skin feel nice and refreshed and I would recommend to people that do not have sensitive skin. -

I'm not a huge coffee drinker but I do like to have one each morning for a little boost of energy to start my day. I'm a fan of anything coconut so when I saw Green Mountain's Island Coconut K-Cups, I couldn't resist trying them and have been purchasing them ever since. They are the best K-Cups I have tried. As soon as the coffee is brewed, you can smell the strong coconut aroma, however, there is only a hint of coconut in the actual taste, which is nice because it is still coffee, after all. I've tried other coconut flavoured K-Cups but the Green Mountain brand has been the best to date! -

We visited Mitzie's Jerk on a lazy Friday night because we were craving jerk chicken. Mitzie's had great reviews and the location wasn't far so we decided to check it out. We ordered the jerk chicken meal which comes with rice and coleslaw and it was absolutely FANTASTIC. No wonder the reviews were incredible! The service, although we ordered take out, was great and Mitzie was so friendly. The entire meal was so flavourful and had the perfect amount of spice for us. It was a great value and I'm happy we tried this restaurant. We will be returning in the near future! -

Essie is my favourite nail polish brand, particularly because of their surplus of beautiful colours and great formulation! They always have the most beautiful colours and I continue to use up bottle after bottle. Although pricier than many other brands of nail polish, they are well worth it. It applies flawlessly and *usually* lasts several days before chipping!
My 3 favourite shades include:
Marshmallow [ultimate favourite, I wear it almost everyday! It is a creamy white colour]
Fiji [a beautiful soft, feminine pink]
Bikini So Teeny [a vibrant pastel-like shade of blue]

LOVE! I originally learned about this product through a friend who asked me to keep an eye out for it while I was in the Caribbean. I couldn't find it on vacation and because she had talked so highly of it, I decided I would order it online. I put it off for a couple of days and to my surprise, I found it in Winners! It was around $15. In hindsight, I should have grabbed more than one because I think it works out to around $25 to order online. It instantly gives your skin a bronzed glow and has Hawaiian ingredients in it to help accelerate the tanning process. You wear it over top of your sunscreen and end up with a beautiful tan. I love it and will continue to repurchase. Keep an eye out for it in Winners, I always check the cosmetic section for it when I go. -

I received this ChapStick as part of a sample package and was excited to try it as there are several double-ended lip balm products being released on the market and I hadn't tried one yet. The pink (strawberry) side was the only one I ended up using. The yellow (banana) side smelled like medicine to me (yuck) and even if I had enjoyed the scent, I couldn't have been bothered to mix both flavours. It's a cute idea, but for now, I'll continue to stick with simple, one flavoured lip balms. The moisturizing effects were average. I haven't used any ChapStick products for years until I tried this, and found that it wasn't as hydrating or moisturizing as the majority of other lip balms I have used. I will definitely try other ChapStick products in the future, but will not be purchasing this one. -
