This is my favourite toothpaste I've ever used! I have gone through at least 10 tubes of it, and definitely notice a huge difference in the whitening department, vs other 'whitening' toothpastes!
Great taste, just a bit on the pricey side (it's usually about $10 for me :S) - but I STILL buy it! It really is worth the price!

After hearing/reading all of the hype about this lip product (and being mildly obsessed with lip balms/treatments in general) I knew I had to try it for myself.
I bought the limited edition Vanilla scent and tried immediately. It's the biggest container of lip product I think I've ever owned - so that's a plus! & the vanilla scent is definite, but also subtle.
I can't say I notice a huge improvement wearing it all night (most likely because I probably lick it off in my sleep) but I enjoy using it throughout the day and has a nice shine without being greasy or tacky.
Overall it's a very good lip balm.

I have always thought of mascara as a very personal preference, what works for one may not work the same for another .. i have been makeup obsessed for over 13 years and have gone through my fair share of drug-store brand, and high-end mascara's - because mascara is my 'MUST HAVE' of all makeup products.
Urban Decay's perversion is my all time favourite. Never clumps my lashes together, separates them nicely, with great coverage and ultra black colour. There's just 'something' so perfect about it - the brush never clumps either (even if i'm scraping the tube to get the last bit!).
I couldn't even begin to count the number of tubes i've gone through since i stumbled on it!

I received this as part of the ChickAdvisor review club.
I've been using this daily for the past week and a half and have noticed a big improvement in my overall skin - it is a very gentle exfoliant, but very effective. nice lather, light scent - very fresh and clean, and tiny little scrubbers!
The size of the bottle is also quite large - and will last for quite a while which is a nice bonus!
It's the perfect pre-tanning exfoliant. I will definitely be using the rest of it!

I received this as part of the ChickAdvisor review club.
I am truly 'picky' when it comes to body lotions. They have to be effective (i.e. moisturizing) without feeling like i have to air dry for an hour before getting dressed - this is the perfect moisturizer for that! Immediately i noticed how quickly it is absorbed into the skin, minimal rubbing, no greasy film, no drying time, and it left my skin looking and feeling moisturized, soft and the faintest glow - if you apply to the back of your hand in the light, you can see what i mean!
It has a very nice, light scent - not overpowering by any stretch!
The size of the bottle with regards to the price is great! it will definitely last a long time and i plan on using it all up!

*received as part of chick advisor review club*
I have spent a couple of years trying out different sunscreens, especially with the night treatments i use - it is crucial to wear a sunscreen daily.
I have yet to find one that does not completely clog my pores, and feels weightless under makeup... until now!
i love the gel-like formula, light scent (if any), and fast absorption. This effortlessly blends in to skin, provided a perfect base for makeup - without the need to use an SPF BB or CC cream before!
I won't be leaving the house this summer without this! it's been incorporated in to my daily makeup routine.

I wanted to test this for a few days after receiving before submitting a review. In the last year i have switched to solely using gel-creams as a moisturizer as i found regular creams tended to leave a greasy residue.
After coming out of a dry, miserable winter, this was a nice switch up to my regular routine.
The gel-cream is absorbed quickly, very faint scent - if you can even consider it that!
it is perfect as a light moisturizer before a night treatment, or even before applying the SPF 50 hydro boost sunscreen. (i've tried it as a primer too and it provided the perfect level of moisture without leaving a greasy film!).

I received this as part of the chickadvisor review club in exchange for an honest review.
I love having makeup removing wipes on hand for travel, nights away or just a quick cleanse when i'm in a hurry. These leave your skin feeling soft, but are extremely effective in removing makeup.
They are soft so they don't feel as if they're removing a layer of skin, in order to get the makeup off!
These will definitely be my go-to when i need to repurchase makeup remover wipes!

i am a self proclaimed beauty junkie. I am constantly researching and trying new products from high end brands to cheaper drug store 'dupes'.
I bought this in a pinch when i was leaving for a trip to france, and didn't have time to get my usual Urban Decay setting spray before i left.
since then, i have had it in my 'stash' of setting sprays, and it has rarely made the rotation because it doesn't have the best sprayer (unlike Smashbox primer water - THE best sprayer!) and a light scent - so it just gets skipped.
I recently tried it again and was wondering why/how my makeup was completely locked in by the time i got home from work - when it is normally a bit worn off, and even greasy at times (and i had changed nothing - except use this setting spray).
The scent is by no means overpowering or off-putting, but it does tend to linger on your face for a while so you keep smelling it.
If you have ever had a problem with your makeup not staying put for the day, try this and you won't be disappointed.

This has to be one of the most 'unique' lip balms i've tried (and i have a mild obsession with trying every lip balm product i can get my hands on, and have been a die-hard blue blistex user for life!).
It is very thick, but once it is on your lips, you don't notice it (unless you rub your lips together). It has unbelievable staying power and ultra moisturizing. There isn't even a hint of 'greasy', and what i find is so unique about it, is it goes on completely matte! you cannot tell you have anything on your lips at all! (win for the men who don't want the lip balm shine! - or any woman who wants the same!).
It has a very pleasant smell, not overpowering.
I am so so so happy i finally decided to try this! On sale at shoppers for $13.25 and comes in quite a large container - which will last for months!
